Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1611 Jade Immortal Crimson Marrow Pill (Bonus Chapter 5 for Alliance Leader Taoshuke)

After briefly examining the remaining low-grade spiritual treasures, Ye Jingcheng put them all into his storage bag.

He now possesses three Heavenly Treasures, three High-Grade Treasures, plus his natal magic weapon and a special mid-grade treasure. Naturally, he has lost interest in ordinary treasures.

Then he took out some medicinal herbs.

The first one was a golden-red fruit. Spiritual patterns flowed on the fruit, as if it were still alive, except for a talisman attached to its side.

"I didn't expect that Mu Huayuan hasn't swallowed it yet!" Ye Jingcheng had previously searched Mu Mingqing's soul and knew that the Mu family had fought to the death with the Heavenly Beast Sect in the last Earthly Immortal Realm.

In addition to discovering spatial nodes within the Earthly Immortal Realm, they also found a Crimson Sun Fire Marrow Fruit.

This spiritual fruit is a genuine sixth-grade high-quality spiritual fruit.

Eating it alone could potentially allow a cultivator to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

If refined into a pill, it could potentially allow a cultivator to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The secret of this fruit was initially obtained by the Heavenly Beast Sect, but they were unable to break through the formation to acquire it. They finally obtained it last time, but the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Heavenly Beast Sect was killed by Mu Mingqing, and the spiritual fruit was also taken away.

According to Ye Jingcheng's guess, Mu Huayuan should have swallowed the fruit long ago to improve his cultivation.

But clearly, Mu Huayuan had great ambitions. He secretly collected a lot of other spiritual materials for the Jade Immortal Crimson Marrow Pill, probably wanting to gather all the materials and find a sixth-level alchemist to refine it into the Jade Immortal Crimson Marrow Pill in order to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Unexpectedly, before he could gather all the other spiritual materials, he received news of the Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Vine, and in the end, he got all of them for free.

Ye Jingcheng had no intention of refining or consuming the spiritual fruit he obtained.

Although the spiritual materials he collected this time did not include those like the Three Jade Divine Essence Pill.

However, they collected quite a few inferior sixth-grade spiritual pills and materials, such as the Thousand Moon Spirit Condensation Pill.

With these spiritual materials, plus the Jade Dragon and Crimson Flame Fox, they should be able to break through without the Three Jade Divine Essence Pills.

With Tian Nie, Yu Linlong, and Chi Yan Hu all at the mid-stage of the sixth rank, he himself might actually be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Once he reaches the bottleneck of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, consuming this elixir will allow it to exert its maximum effect, and might even help him quickly establish himself in the Spirit Realm.

Of course, if circumstances change in the future, it is also possible to let the Jade Dragon consume it and break through ahead of schedule.

However, he currently has no intention of wasting time in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng gathered the remaining materials for the Jade Immortal Crimson Marrow Pill together and solemnly placed them into a sixth-order spirit jade, carefully storing them away.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the spatial nodes within the Earthly Immortal Realm.

According to Mu Mingqing and the Heavenly Beast Sect's investigation, that spatial node is very likely the place where the Ye family descended to the lower realm.

Only there can other forces in the spirit world be unable to track them down, since they cannot send Nascent Soul cultivators to track them down.

Moreover, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator reaches the Earthly Immortal Realm, it's unknown which mortal realm they'll enter.

That's why he was able to find the Holy Spirit Tower, the Heavenly Dream Butterfly, and Zhu Yan in the Immortal Realm.

"It seems we still need to send someone from our clan to check that place next time." Although the Heavenly Beast Sect and the Mu family went and didn't gain much, Ye Jingcheng felt that their Ye family of the Great Yu Dynasty all had beast-connecting patterns, and perhaps these patterns could sense some treasures or inheritance records that others couldn't sense.

This crucial information can be very useful at times.

Even if he didn't find the key information, Ye Jingcheng felt that if he smuggled himself into the Spirit Realm in the future, he might be able to use this spatial node to bring messages and instructions from the Upper Realm to the Lower Realm.

After all, the Ye family's Beast Pit cannot be brought into the Spirit Realm until a Nascent Soul cultivator appears.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng remembered the Xuan Tian Ling Vine.

Since this Xuan Tian Ling Teng is also a Xuan Tian item, will it be detected, and can it be brought into the spirit world?

Given the incubation process in the mortal realm, it would probably take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to mature.

Only with his blood fountain and his precious light could it be possible.

To achieve this, one must bring the spirit world into the realm of spirits.

Ye Jingcheng pondered for a while, but still had no clue, and finally could only shake his head.

Actually, if Mu Huayuan could devour dreams and search souls, things would become much clearer.

But in the end, the latter confessed that although he had collected some soul power, it was hard to say whether that soul power could support the Dream Devouring Insect in its soul-searching mission.

Ye Jingcheng put away the spiritual fruit and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he started counting the spiritual herbs again.

High-grade and low-grade spiritual herbs are easy to distinguish, and in no time he took out fifteen spiritual herbs that were overflowing with spiritual light.

These medicinal herbs were all sealed with sixth-grade spirit jade, so they were clearly all sixth-grade medicinal herbs.

Including the Jade Immortal Crimson Marrow Fruit, this means that the Ye family has obtained sixteen sixth-grade spiritual materials this time.

The most were found at Mu Huayuanli's place, a total of seven plants, including the Rejuvenating Ginseng Fruit he obtained in Fengming City.

The least amount came from the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor; there was only one sixth-grade spiritual ginseng, and half of it was swallowed. Clearly, the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor didn't care whether it could be used to refine pills or as medicine; he swallowed it all.

Huo Fengshenjun and Qiushan each had three, and the Nine-Headed Serpent also had two in its storage bag.

As for fifth-tier spiritual herbs, there are many, including Nascent Soul Pills, various breakthrough-type spiritual herbs, and auxiliary and main ingredients for advancement pills.

To his delight, he also collected all the materials needed for Zhu Yan's advanced pills.

Meanwhile, most of the advancement pills for the Golden Scale Beast and the Seven-Colored Cloud Deer have been collected, with only the essence blood and a few other main ingredients missing.

Despite the fact that the Ye family has killed many demon saints recently, they don't have much of their essence blood available right now.

Besides the elixirs, Ye Jingcheng also obtained a considerable amount of spiritual materials.

Such as sixth-order Gengyuan Cold Iron, sixth-order Azure Light Treasure Wood, sixth-order Seven-Colored Mysterious Heaven Wood...

If Ye Haicheng were to reach the Nascent Soul stage right now, he could refine a sixth-order spirit puppet.

In addition to these spiritual materials, there was also a sixth-order sea turtle shell. This meant that Ye Jingcheng wanted to upgrade all his natal magic weapons to sixth-order natal magic weapons.

It's only missing a sixth-tier Qilin-type demon saint's horn.

This naturally delighted Ye Jingcheng.

Of course, these still need to be refined by the Spirit Forging God.

However, the latter probably wouldn't refuse any of Ye Jingcheng's refining requests at this moment.

Ye Jingcheng himself is a sixth-level alchemist, so their relationship is mutually beneficial. In addition, during the ceremony, Ye Jingcheng invited so many Nascent Soul cultivators, but only a few, such as the Divine Medicine Lord and the Spirit Forging Lord, declined.

After checking the spiritual materials, Ye Jingcheng began to examine the jade slips. This time, he obtained tens of thousands of jade slips. Fortunately, with his current divine sense, he could examine hundreds of jade slips in an instant.

Ye Jingcheng skimmed through all the jade slips used only by those below the Nascent Soul stage and the miscellaneous news of the mortal realm. He only glanced at the jade slips used by Nascent Soul cultivators.

Finally, out of nearly a thousand jade slips, only four jade slips and two spirit diagrams were selected and placed before them.

The four jade slips contain three cultivation techniques and one secret method.

The first cultivation technique is the Nine Heavens Raging Thunder Spirit Scripture. When cultivated to its full potential, it condenses nine innate Nine Heavens Divine Thunders, possessing immense power, and can even be cultivated to the late stage of the Integration Realm.

Ye Jinghu and Ye Tengming are both suitable, and of course, the cultivation methods they are currently practicing are not bad either. Whether or not to change their cultivation methods, Ye Jingcheng plans to let them choose for themselves.

The second cultivation technique is called the Nine Revolutions Mystic Turtle Spirit Scripture. As the name suggests, this technique is a body cultivation technique. When mastered, one becomes like a mystic turtle, with an impregnable defense. One can also cultivate to the late stage of the Body Integration Realm.

The most suitable candidates to switch to this path are Ye Qingwen and Ye Jingyong, whose original cultivation techniques were not particularly good, nor were their talents exceptional.

Now it's possible to switch to this cultivation method.

With the help of the Ye family's turtle-type spirit beasts, it might actually be able to display a unique charm in the future.

The third cultivation technique is called the Record of Ten Thousand Souls Returning to the Gods. This technique focuses on cultivating the soul and can divide the divine soul into tens of thousands of parts to cultivate the art of spirit puppetry or clone techniques.

However, this technique has a major flaw: the soul is easily disordered, and it is also easy for a split personality to emerge and compete for the final dominant position.

However, one can still cultivate to the late stage of the Integration Realm.

If Ye Haicheng hadn't received the inheritance of the Puppet Heaven General, this technique would naturally be considered very powerful.

But now that the Ye family has the Heavenly Puppet Profound Heart Sutra, this technique can only be considered an alternative.

The last secret technique is the Soul-Locking Spirit Pact.

This is also the contract-type secret technique that the Ye family needs most right now.

This secret method is divided into two types: clan covenant and spirit covenant.

The clan is bound by a contract, but the power of the contract is relatively lenient.

The Spirit Contract is a Soul-Locking Spirit Contract, similar to one's own Soul Contract.

However, a cultivator can only condense one Soul-Locking Spirit Contract at most, and once condensed, it is extremely difficult to break free.

Ye Jingcheng had heard about the Four Mysterious Ancient Lions, and he guessed that Mu Huayuan had used a spirit contract to control them.

With this Soul-Locking Spirit Contract, Ye Jingcheng was not worried. In the future, when he went to the Spirit Realm, the Ye family cultivators would not be able to command the remaining demon saints, which could be considered as solving a major problem.

After making a copy of the four jade slips, he turned his attention to the remaining two spirit diagrams.

Ye Jingcheng had seen one of these two spiritual diagrams before; it was the Heaven-Sealing Diagram from the Nascent Soul Assembly auction.

The other spiritual diagram was one he had heard of, another Heaven-Sealing Diagram that Ye Qingnian had once told him about.

One of the two Heaven-Sealing Diagrams was taken from the storage bags of the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor and Mu Huayuan.

However, when Ye Jingcheng placed the two Heaven-Sealing Diagrams together and examined them closely, he still couldn't see any problems.

All that is known is that this spirit map is made of a special material, which is exceptionally hard. The front of the map has the character "封" (seal), and the back has a landscape painting.

Looking at this painting for a long time, it feels as if you are being pulled into the world of mountains and rivers.

But as soon as the thought of rejecting it comes out, that feeling quickly disappears.

"I estimate that we need to find five Heaven-Sealing Maps and put them together to know its secret!" Ye Jingcheng looked at them for a while longer, then put away the two Heaven-Sealing Maps.

This Heaven-Sealing Map has five diagrams, which can be considered as five keys. Only by combining them can one find the Heaven-Sealing Royal Court.

If it weren't for matters concerning the spirit realm, Ye family would have planned to search slowly, since they had plenty of time.

However, given the crisis in the Spirit Realm, Ye Jingcheng plans to begin smuggling himself into the realm once the Earthly Immortal Realm ends.

After all, with Mu Huayuan and the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor dead, it was inevitable that the forces in the Spirit Realm would have other ideas and arrange for the Nascent Soul stage to descend to the mortal realm again.

Although the corresponding areas of the Spirit Realm are now controlled by the Jade Soul Clan.

But there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Ye Jingcheng still felt that it was necessary to make plans as soon as possible.

Next, Ye Jingcheng began to count the spirit stones and formations.

Among them, they obtained 103 top-grade spirit stones, which was the most the Ye family had ever obtained.

In addition, there are four sixth-order spirit-attracting stones and three sets of sixth-order spirit-gathering arrays.

This means the Ye family can upgrade at least three more sixth-order spiritual veins.

One of them must be Sanyuan City, as this is where the Ye family will build the Great Yu Immortal City in the future.

The remaining two can be placed in the central region or some grotto-heavens, depending on the situation.
