Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 351: Chapter 331: Tit for Tat; The Earth Dragon Emerges Again (Two-in-One, Thanks to San San for the 3,000 Coin Reward)

The pouring rain became even heavier; if before it was a continuous rain line,

now, it was large droplets of rain, pattering where the Array did not cover.

However, at this moment, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu felt that the entire mountain valley was somewhat unusually quiet.

Qianhe Ascendant and Luoyuan Ascendant both stepped forward.

An indistinct spiritual might pressed closer.

“Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xingliu, due to the incident arising from the Secret Realm, True Master San Yuan’s disciple had a problem, and needs to ask some questions!”

“Firstly, has the Ye Family colluded with the Demon Sect?”

“Secondly, what is the Ye Family’s actual purpose today?”

“Thirdly, does the Ye Family have hidden treasures in the Secret Realm?”

The three consecutive questions made even those from the Purple Mansion Clan and Golden Core Clan freeze their gaze.

This kind of interrogation was even more terrifying than the Wan Family’s inquiries.

Xu Chunlin simply looked towards Ye Haicheng, yet Ye Haicheng’s expression remained calm and collected, like an ancient well without waves, as if he had no worries at all.

He didn’t even bother looking at the various Golden Core cultivators in the sky.

This left Xu Chunlin utterly confused.

Behind Ye Haicheng, however, Ye Haili and Ye Xingqun, Ye Xinghan, and others showed slightly moved expressions.

Such interrogation clearly indicated the use of a Spirit Inquiry Talisman, and whether or not the Ye Family had any schemes, they couldn’t withstand such questioning.

Ye Jingcheng kept silent, while Ye Xingliu spoke.

He didn’t immediately respond due to the pressing of Qianhe Ascendant and Luoyuan Ascendant but paused for several breaths before slowly answering.

“We have not communicated with any Demon Sect.”

“This time, the purpose was treasure hunting.”

“And we didn’t hide any treasure!” Ye Xingliu said without any unnecessary words.

His face showed confusion, as if not understanding why Qianhe Ascendant and Luoyuan Ascendant asked such questions.

After all, they had taken Forget Dust Pills before exiting the Secret Realm, and all their memories about the Secret Realm were prepared in advance.

Luoyuan Ascendant and Qianhe Ascendant didn’t speak for a moment, instead turning their gaze to Ye Jingcheng:

“Jingcheng, you answer. What is the highest treasure obtained by the Ye Family this time, and are there any other tasks?”

“Answer quickly; this matter involves the death of True Master San Yuan’s disciple and is critically important!” Qianhe Ascendant saw Ye Jingcheng still hesitated and urged directly.

He didn’t want to give Ye Jingcheng any time.

“The biggest harvest this time, the Star-Feeding Fish shoal!” Ye Jingcheng spoke, then mentioned a few precious Spirit Medicines in addition.

However, precious Spirit Medicines like Purple Jade Vine and Gold Condensing Fruit were not leaked at all.

The Star-Feeding Fish, unlike Thunder Rhinoceros Insect or Golden Falcon, belonged to an economic class Spirit Beast. The Ye Family didn’t have it before; if they were to open a restaurant and sell it in the future, they’d need a reason.

Taking out the Star-Feeding Fish and sharing some with the Sect is the best decision.

After all, the Star-Feeding Fish can enhance the blood vitality of cultivators and the strength of Body Cultivators, which is quite important to Taiyi Martial Peak.

Taiyi’s Five Peaks each have their specialization: Illusion Peak specializes in Arrays and Illusion Charm, with a relatively high proportion of female disciples. Taiyi Magic Peak excels at Alchemy and Artifact Refining and Talisman Making.

Taiyi Purple Peak specializes in various Secret Techniques, even proficient in reasoning and Divination. Sword Edge needs no explanation, filled with Sword Cultivators, nurturing Sword Embryos, imbuing Sword Intent, whereas Taiyi Martial Peak has many Body Cultivators.

Of course, Taiyi’s Five Peaks aren’t entirely divided. After countless years of tribute from various affiliated clans, each has its specialty but isn’t completely biased.

For example, Illusion Peak would have strong Alchemy Masters and Artifact Refiners, while Dharma Peak would have powerful Array Masters.
