Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1643 Switching Cultivation Techniques, Two Beasts Break Through (Two Chapters Combined, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The Great Yu Realm, the Eastern Region.

On a huge teleportation platform, white spiritual light suddenly flashed, and the next moment several figures landed on it.

The leader, dressed in a white robe, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, possessed an extraordinary bearing. At this moment, a slight smile lingered in his eyes. He was none other than Ye Qingnian, who had come from the desert.

His gaze was fixed on the distance. No matter how many times he looked at the Sanyuan City before him, he was always happy and satisfied. After all, he had poured so much of his heart and soul into this Sanyuan City. And now he had to prepare for the Nascent Soul Assembly ninety years from now.

Sanyuan City is now divided into Shangyuan City, Zhongyuan City and Xiayuan City.

Abundant spiritual energy lingered around the three cities, forming lingering rays of light that, from a distance, resembled three enormous colorful rings.

This colorful ring phenomenon has become a landmark of the Three Realms Immortal City.

Ye Qingnian even saw that there were many other cultivators who had appeared at the teleportation array, just like him, staring blankly at the magnificent scene of the Three Rings of Sanyuan City.

It was clearly their first time here.

"Patriarch!" The cultivator responsible for guarding the teleportation array called out to Ye Qingnian repeatedly.

Some of the teleported cultivators also discovered that the cultivator who was looking at the same place as them was actually the current head of the Ye family, True Lord Sanmu.

He immediately bowed to Ye Qingnian.

"You all go about your business. I'm here to go to Duyuan Mountain." Ye Qingnian's current Daoist name is Sanmu. His spiritual body is the Three Flowers Gathering Cauldron Spiritual Body. Since the Three Flowers didn't quite fit his own idea, he called himself Sanmu.

Duyuan Mountain is a sacred mountain recently developed by the Ye family.

It also lies in the center of Shangyuan City, which is now the best place for spiritual veins in the entire Sanyuan City.

For a market town, it doesn't mean that if the market town has a sixth-order spiritual vein, then all locations in the market town have the strength of a sixth-order spiritual vein.

That's unrealistic, and it can't be done that way.

A normal fifth-tier market has a fifth-tier spiritual vein. The strength of the spiritual veins in the market is usually around the late stage of the first tier, with a few reaching the second tier.

Some shops, pavilions, and restaurants can reach the second and third tiers, while only a few top shops or cave dwellings can reach the fourth tier. The fifth tier is basically the divine palace or cave dwelling of the market lord.

Currently, the spiritual veins of Shangyuan City in Sanyuan City are in the best condition. Even the worst areas are equivalent to the strength of a third-grade low-level spiritual vein, while the best location, the Divine Palace, has reached the sixth grade.

It should be noted that there are usually 50,000 to 60,000 cultivators in the entire market on weekdays, and the number can exceed 100,000 during the annual auction.

The reason why it can still maintain such a rich spiritual energy is because the Ye family has arranged many spiritual veins near Sanyuan City in advance.

Otherwise, a mid-grade sixth-order spiritual vein alone would absolutely not be enough to reach this level.

This is also why Sanyuan City is so popular.

It could even be exaggerated to say that if a Foundation Establishment cultivator came to Shangyuan City, any corner of the city could be used as a place for seclusion.

However, nowadays, there are many shops in the entire market, but restaurants seem rather rare.

Moreover, because the restaurant is too small, it's fine for short-term stays, but it's definitely not good for long-term breakthroughs or cultivation.

Therefore, the Ye family established Duyuan Mountain in the center of Shangyuan City.

Numerous cave dwellings are arranged on this sacred mountain.

This includes three sixth-tier cave dwellings, twelve fifth-tier cave dwellings, and seventy-two fourth-tier cave dwellings.

Nowadays, apart from the sixth-tier cave dwellings, about 80% of the other cave dwellings have been rented out.

Most of the renters are independent cultivators and cultivators from small factions.

After all, this breakthrough would be protected by the Ye family, and the spiritual veins would be far better than their own spiritual mountain.

Of course, the annual rent for this cave dwelling is extremely expensive. A fourth-tier cave dwelling costs 30,000 spirit stones per year, which would amount to 3 million spirit stones over a hundred years.

It's practically a shop now.

A fifth-tier cave dwelling is even more expensive, requiring 60,000 spirit stones per year, which would amount to 6 million spirit stones over a hundred years.

At first, Ye Qingnian thought that there wouldn't be many people coming in the early stages, but as it turned out, there were quite a few rogue cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators from small forces who wanted to seek breakthroughs through high-level spiritual veins in the Ten Yuan Realm and the Eleven Xuan Realm.

Ninety percent of the cave dwellings on Duyuan Mountain have been rented out, including many highly skilled fifth-tier weapon refiners, alchemists, and formation masters.

The Ye family now has to consider building a few more Duyuan Mountains.

However, Ye Qingnian's trip to Yuanshan this time was not solely to check on the situation at Lingshan.

He even sent pills to the Fox Saint of Qingqiu.

Although Yu'er of the Qingqiu clan was breaking through to the sixth rank, the Qingqiu Fox Saint still put the overall situation first and guarded the sixth-rank cave in Duyuan Mountain in Sanyuan City.

This is why Ye Qingnian insisted on personally delivering the pills.

"Patriarch, I am so grateful that you personally delivered the pill to me..." The Fox Saint of Qingqiu flew out of the cave and bowed to Ye Qingnian.

At this moment, it already understood the Three Jade Divine Essence Pill, after all, Ye Jingcheng had mentioned it to it when he first gave it the Heavenly Nirvana Phoenix Divine Essence Pill.

The other Yuan Shen Pills and sixth-order spiritual pills for cultivation have all been given out, and they have all appeared in the Beast Hall Exchange Tokens. Qingqiu Fox Saint also has a Beast Hall Token, so he can naturally see them as well.

"It's no trouble at all. The Fox Saint has been helping to guard Sanyuan City. He has made great contributions. It is my honor to send him the pill." Because the Fox Saint of Qingqiu has taken Ye Jingcheng as his master, Ye Qingnian also takes on the role of his nephew.

"My father also said that if you, Fox Saint, have time, you can return to Qingqiu Mountain. Nothing will happen in Sanyuan City," Ye Qingnian continued.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Master and Patriarch. Nothing will happen on Qingqiu Mountain. I'm staying at Duyuan Mountain in Sanyuan City, which is quite comfortable. I'll go into seclusion here. As for Yu'er, with the other Qingqiu and Tiannie Daoist friends watching over her, nothing will happen to her." The Qingqiu Fox God shook his head.

I still have no plans to return to Fox Saint Mountain in the Taihang Mountains.

It knew that now that the Qingqiu clan had a better chance of advancing, it would naturally have to make some corresponding sacrifices.

It was already quite satisfied that the Ye family even had the idea of ​​letting it go back; how could it possibly go back and let Ye Jingcheng guard this place?

Of course, when it truly breaks through, it will definitely need Tian Nie Feng Sheng or Chen Jing Jin Peng to take charge.

"By the way, Fox Saint, my father also said that after you break through, it will most likely be time for you to sneak into the Spirit Realm. I hope you will carefully consider and decide on the person to take care of." Ye Qingnian added one last time.

These words surprised the Fox Saint of Qingqiu.

In the beginning, it naturally wanted to go to the Spirit Realm with the Ye family.

This was also their initial idea.

But now, the Qingqiu clan may give birth to another demon saint.

It's impossible for the entire tribe to go up, so we need to consider this carefully.

Given that Ye Qingnian spoke to it so early, the Ye family's intentions were already quite clear.

"I understand. Rest assured, Master, the Qingqiu Sacred Mountain lineage of the Beast Hall will absolutely satisfy you!" Qingqiu Fox Saint nodded in reply.

Upon hearing this answer, Ye Qingnian nodded.

The Ye family is already making arrangements for those who will remain in the area, because the current territory and the Ye family's prestige and reputation are too great to be the same as initially planned.

If the Fox Saint of Qingqiu Fox Clan can break through, it would be best to keep the Fox Saint of Qingqiu.

Thus, the Ye family in the mortal realm still has mid-stage sixth rank cultivators. As for the Heavenly Nirvana Demon Saint, although he is also good, the Heavenly Nirvana clan has too few members, and it is highly likely that Zhu Luan will be faster than Guan Feng. Those left behind are basically Zhu Luan after their breakthrough.

The reason he spoke so vaguely was because he knew that the Fox Saint could understand what he meant.

……

After leaving Duyuan Mountain, Ye Qingnian arrived at the Ye Family Hall in Sanyuan City. Inside the hall, Ye Xuecang and Ye Yunsheng were also present.

"Qingnian, regarding the family's alchemy..." Ye Xuecang asked with some concern.

"Second Ancestor, all the family's spiritual pills are ready. You can now go into seclusion and break through to the late Nascent Soul stage with peace of mind," Ye Qingnian replied repeatedly.

"Yes, I am almost there, but you summoned me here for more than just that, right?" Ye Xuecang asked again.

Although the Ye family now has many Nascent Soul cultivators, Ye Xuecang is still in charge of Penglai Island, while Ye Jinghu is in charge of the Central Region.

"The Second Emperor was incredibly insightful; Qingnian certainly has important matters to discuss." After saying this, he continued:
"Second Ancestor, some members of the clan have been slacking off lately. I would like to open another hall called the Hidden Punishment Hall. The Hidden Hall will be responsible for monitoring the slacking members of the inner hall and checking the shortcomings of the clan. Any careless inner hall member who endangers safety must be severely punished."

“Alright, I’ll take on the role of hall master!” Although Ye Qingnian didn’t say it, Ye Xuecang already understood why Ye Qingnian had told him about this matter separately.

Of course, it's about the affairs of this branch of the clan. Given its immense power, ordinary clansmen simply cannot handle it well.

Only he, being the highest-ranking member of the Ye family, could handle the situation without any problems.

After all, among Nascent Soul cultivators, Ye Xuecang truly lacked his own unique skills.

"Thank you very much, Second Ancestor." Ye Qingnian repeatedly cupped his hands in thanks.

"No need to thank me. I'll gather some clansmen to form a team before I go into seclusion!" Ye Xuecang readily agreed, and Ye Qingnian was completely relieved.

After arranging some more matters, Ye Qingnian brought up the Three Yuan Immortal City again.

This Nascent Soul Cultivation Conference is equally important to the Ye family.

If things are handled well, for at least five or six hundred years, no other forces might have designs on the Ye family.

However, the Ye family was able to quickly earn a massive amount of spirit stones.

……

In front of the pavilion in the Stone Spirit Cave, the Crimson Flame Fox also swallowed the Advancement Pill and the Thousand Moon Spirit Condensation Pill.

After the two elixirs were swallowed.

The furnace between the Crimson Flame Fox's brows instantly overflowed with flames, transforming it into a fiery cocoon that enveloped it.

"Now that the Crimson Flame Fox has broken through, it's time for him to switch to cultivating immortality." Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was completely relieved.

He first sat down by the spirit pool, and then began to cultivate using the Soul Nourishing Secret Method and the Soul Nourishing Jade.

After ensuring that his soul was in its best condition, he took out the jade that was the inheritance of the Immortal Scripture.

Because this inheritance jade is too heavy, even he had not fully memorized the immortal scripture before. Now that he is changing his cultivation method, he still has to place the immortal jade in his hands, study it carefully, and then carefully switch cultivation methods.

As soon as his divine sense entered the immortal jade, that majestic figure appeared, and the five elements of heaven and earth slowly unfolded before him...

Ye Jingcheng's thoughts were instantly absorbed in it.

As his cultivation technique gradually changed, five exceptionally unique spiritual patterns began to condense on Ye Jingcheng's body.

These spiritual runes landed on Ye Jingcheng's five internal organs: heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and spleen.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng's physical body also quietly began to break through.

Even its body began to transform into five colors.

……

Ten years have passed quietly, Tianfeng Oasis.

A tremendous aura emerged, followed by a gigantic golden ape appearing high in the sky.

Its eyes were full of excitement, and its strong arms were waving around. It was none other than the Zhu Yan that had broken through.

At this moment, it not only successfully advanced but also broke through to the sixth rank, without even consuming the Primordial Spirit Pill.

If it weren't for the tribulation lightning, it would have wanted to curry favor with its master.

And at this moment, it was curious as to why its owner had not yet shown up.
"Go to Thunder Mountain to undergo tribulation!" The one who had been guarding the Ye family's Heavenly Phoenix Oasis was none other than Ye Yunxuan. At this moment, he had also broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and had recently begun to study fifth-order spirit talismans.

He knew that Ye Jingcheng was in seclusion, so he spoke up repeatedly.

Zhu Yan was somewhat taken aback when he heard this.

They didn't seem to understand Ye Yunxuan's meaning.

This surprised Ye Yunxuan.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Jade Dragon and the Peach Wood Stone Spirit appeared and also became bright.

Now that Zhu Yan understood, it headed straight for Yinlei Mountain.

A large number of Ye family members also quickly gathered.

"As expected, just as its master predicted, the one it was least worried about was Zhu Yan, and the one it was most worried about was the Golden Scale Beast..." Tao Mu was also extremely shocked when he saw Zhu Yan resisting the lightning tribulation.

The latter truly defied the tribulation of lightning without the slightest fear, and didn't even seem inclined to activate the formation.

However, after the latter descended from the divine realm, he was like a war god, completely unafraid of the lightning tribulation.

"It's a divine realm that is impervious to all laws." The peach wood spirit and the Ye family members were all overjoyed.

Although they had long envisioned this divine realm, its realization still brought them immense joy.

"Master has gone into seclusion. You should also go directly into the Stone Spirit Cave to consolidate your cultivation. Master has already prepared spiritual medicine for you." Before the Ye family members could make arrangements, Tao Mu had already made everything, allowing Zhu Yan to enter the cave directly.

In the following year, the Golden Scale Beast also began to break through.

However, there were far fewer unusual phenomena. The latter, having fallen into the lightning-attracting array, kept looking around before the lightning tribulation struck.

It seemed as if they were searching for the Jade Dragon Crimson Flame Fox, and also as if they were searching for Ye Jingcheng.

But what appeared were still the elders of the Ye family and the Peach Wood Sky-Splitting Earthworm.

"Your master has instructed you to be extremely careful. If you are injured and wish to take an advancement pill again, be prepared to wait five or six hundred years!" Peachwood transmitted his voice directly at this moment.

This immediately silenced the Golden Scale Beast, which had been eager to try and defeat the tribulation clouds.

Although both Jade Dragon and Crimson Flame Fox managed to shatter the tribulation clouds during their breakthroughs.

But this time it really didn't have much confidence, and after Taomu said those words, it dared not do it even more.

"This Golden Scale Beast is indeed as described!" the Sky-Splitting Earthworm said with remarkable experience.

"Its personality is too predictable. It's always been looking for revenge, but I guess it won't have the chance in this life or the next." Peachwood said to the Rift God Earthworm without any politeness.

Although the Golden Scale Beast is powerful, it is far inferior to the Jade Scale Dragon and Crimson Flame Fox!
