Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1529 Miniature Top-Grade Spirit Stone Mine (Please Subscribe)
The scent of sandalwood filled the ancient hall. After a discussion over tea, True Lord Xingyuan rose to his feet.

"Qingnian, it's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer. But I hope you'll inform your father about that matter."

Accompanying True Lord Xingyuan were True Lord Xuhuai and others.

The group had three purposes: to offer congratulations and gifts, to ask for something in return, and to help defend against the beast tide. Therefore, after offering their congratulations and explaining their requests, they naturally headed to the East Sea.

The people currently in charge of Donghai are none other than Ye Jingyu and Ye Xuecang.

"I will talk to my father about this!" Ye Qingnian finally said.

This time, he only escorted the group to the outside of the main hall, and then had Yan Jiao take them to the teleportation array.

After Ye Qingnian returned to the main hall, Ye Xuefan and Ye Haicheng also came out shortly after.

"Uncle Haicheng, the righteous sects have indeed inquired about the battle formation." Ye Qingnian first took out the formation to isolate the main hall before speaking.

Unlike the demon race, which has few informants, the other Nascent Soul forces in the Great Yu Realm have a great many informants.

Before reaching the Righteous Path Gate, he had already accepted congratulatory gifts from the Zhao family and Baiqiao Valley.

Both of them gave sixth-grade spiritual medicines as gifts, and they also inquired about the battle formation.

After delivering the congratulatory gifts and jade slips, Xingyuan Zhenjun of the Righteous Path Sect still asked a question.

They also expressed their willingness to provide a sixth-tier Nascent Soul medicine and allow the Ye family to make any demands they wish.

“This is normal. Even if Zheng Yuan Shenjun didn’t say anything, these Nascent Soul cultivators would act on their own. But looking at Xing Yuan Zhenjun’s troubled expression, I’m afraid Yun Tian Zhenjun’s breakthrough is in jeopardy.” Ye Haicheng nodded.

They weren't surprised that the Righteous Path Sect would ask, but now that they had, things were really in a bit of a predicament.

This battle formation is of great importance, after all, a well-arranged battle formation can deal with even a Void Refining Venerable.

It is very useful even in the spirit world.

If this gets out, the Ye family could very well face a similar attack as the Qingyuan Sect.

If it were a few hundred years later, when the Ye family produces a few more Nascent Soul cultivators, then the Ye family would not only be willing to accept the Heavenly Origin Vajra Battle Formation from the righteous sects, but would even offer it up with both hands.

But at this particular moment, things just didn't work out.

"Let your father make a decision. There will be a Nascent Soul Trading Conference in eight years!" Ye Haicheng then said.

Ye Qingnian nodded as well.

A moment later, a jade slip appeared, and Ye Qingnian spoke:
"Uncle Haicheng, True Lord Yuantan of the Ziyang Sect has arrived."

"Go and receive them. If there's anything related to battle, just keep putting it off," Ye Haicheng continued.

"By the way, if there's anything about elixirs or techniques, tell her to wait too." Ye Haicheng then remembered the agreement they made in the Azure Abyss Realm and continued.

Back in the Taiyuan Realm, when the Ye family set up their first sixth-order spiritual vein, they were only missing a sixth-order spirit-attracting stone and a sixth-order spirit-gathering array. It was True Monarch Yuan Tan who helped them manage things.

The entire hall quickly quieted down.

……

At this moment, in another location on Penglai Island, there is also a large mountain. Although its spiritual veins are not as strong as those of Penglai Mountain, they are still at the sixth level.

Furthermore, there are vast palaces and halls scattered across Mount Ling.

Many cultivators from other sects would probably be quite puzzled upon seeing these halls.

However, for the Ye family members, these dozens of halls were undoubtedly another major gain from their expedition to Penglai.

It is also another Heavenly Realm Mountain belonging to the Ye family.

These halls were the secret realms that the Ye family moved here using the method of celestial observation.

There are four fifth-tier secret realms, eight fourth-tier secret realms, twenty-one third-tier secret realms, and thirty-nine second-tier and first-tier secret realms.

Moreover, this is after the Ye family relocated several secret realms to the Heavenly Phoenix Oasis. Otherwise, the number would be even greater.

Of course, most of these secret realms were used by the Ye family as medicinal herb reserves.

A small portion are used as trial realms.

Among them, the fifth-tier Taiqing Secret Realm even contains a miniature top-grade spirit stone mine.

According to the Ye family's estimate, two to five top-grade spirit stones can be produced every hundred years.

The reason why Penglai had so many top-grade spirit stones was precisely because they were obtained from this Taiqing Secret Realm.

Don't underestimate this quantity. You should know that even a single top-grade spirit stone can increase the chances of a Golden Core cultivator breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, and can also replenish true essence for a Deity Transformation cultivator at crucial moments for cultivation.

Although its value is equivalent to one million low-grade spirit stones, it is difficult to buy a top-grade spirit stone even with five or six million low-grade spirit stones.

After all, top-grade spirit stones are almost all in the hands of high-level Nascent Soul cultivators or Deity Transformation cultivators, and they are not short of spirit stones.

At this moment, Ye Haifei and Ye Haiyu emerged together from the secret realm.

As peak fourth-tier array masters in their family, they were responsible for migrating almost all the secret realms below the fourth tier.

"Brother Haifei, why don't you go and compete for that cultivation technique?" Ye Haiyu seemed particularly pleased after avenging his defeat at Penglai.

"I won't compete. I'm already finding it quite difficult to cultivate the water-attribute technique passed down in my family. How could I possibly compete for that technique? I just don't know how many people can successfully cultivate it," Ye Haifei couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, if you look closely, you can still see the expectation in Ye Haifei's eyes, but seven hundred years have made him clear about his limits.

He had witnessed the family's low points, and now he was witnessing its peak, which he was very satisfied with.

Instead of vying for that opportunity, it's better to proceed steadily and seek a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

Upon hearing this answer, Ye Haiyu smiled but didn't say anything more, though her eyes were also full of hope.

"Teng Jia should be a good candidate, and Yun Xi is also a strong possibility!"

……

Eastern Regions, Taihang Mountains, Azure Wolf Valley.

A blue hurricane howled through the valley, and giant wolves with blue fur sometimes crossed the valley and sometimes rushed up the rocks.

As a beam of light appeared in the distance, more than ten cultivators flew over.

A swarm of blue giant wolves immediately surged forward.

Before they could reveal their ferocity, a blue figure flew in from afar, and a wolf howl echoed across the sky.

"Lord Haihe, you've finally arrived." The figure was none other than the Azure Demon Emperor, though he was now slightly obsequious.

The cultivators opposite were Ye Haihe and Ye Yunfeng, along with more than ten young members of their respective families.

The Ye family has now subdued the Qingqiu and Tiannie clans.

Naturally, the spirit beasts of both clans belong to the Ye family.

The core clan beasts of the Tian Nie and Qing Qiu clans are few and far between. Nowadays, there are not many beasts that communicate with the Ye family, and the requirements are the highest. They have already reached the same status as the Ye family's Beast God Valley.

However, the requirements for the Netherfire Demon Ape and the White-browed Green Wolf clan are much lower.

Especially for the cultivators of the Ye family with the wind attribute, the white-browed blue wolf is considered the best spirit beast.

Therefore, Ye Yunfeng and Ye Haihe both planned to come and find one or two.

Among the dozen or so people behind this, two were from the Ye family with wind-attribute spiritual roots. The remaining few, although not members of the wind-attribute spiritual root clan, cultivated techniques closely related to the wind attribute. If they were to use the White-browed Green Wolf, they could control the relevant secret techniques and methods.
