Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

At this moment, Ye Xinghan appeared exceptionally old, so old that Ye Jingyu found it hard to look at him.

Ye Xinghan was more than twenty years older than her, almost two hundred and twenty years old, and the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was around two hundred and fifty years.

Ye Xinghan had also taken a Longevity Spiritual Peach, but this time he failed to break through, which clearly affected his lifespan.

After all, a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator could live to two hundred and fifty years.

”Uncle Xinghan, we should have applied for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid. Even if the family didn’t give it to us, we could have gone to Jingyu, to Jingcheng, to...”

”Where would we find so much? There wasn’t any Purple Mansion Jade Liquid in the family before, and still many cultivators achieved breakthroughs. I just followed the normal path of a Purple Mansion cultivator, and if I used the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, depriving a family genius of a portion and causing an accident, that would truly be a crime!” Ye Xinghan calmly replied.

After saying this, he looked out the window again, where there were Black Crows soaring into the sky.

They were so young, so lively, even facing the glaring morning sun, they appeared so bright.

”Back then, my wish was just to have a Wood Demon, to study the Spirit Contract of the Wood Demon. But now, our family already has no less than thirty Wood Demons, and the Spirit Contract of the Wood Demon has already been perfected and even achieved a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. This was unimaginable before. What more could I ask for?” Ye Xinghan said.

As he spoke, he seemed to recall some of his clan brothers and cousins from the Xing generation.

”Your uncle Xing He, and your second uncle Xing Hui... they never saw...”

”Uncle Xinghan, stop talking nonsense, you’re only two hundred and eighteen, you’re still young!” Ye Jingyu interrupted repeatedly, feeling that Ye Xinghan was beginning to say his last words.

Ye Xinghan was taken aback by the interruption, then looked at Ye Jingyu.

Finally, he paused and took out dozens of Jade Talismans.

Each Jade Talisman was engraved with numerous marks, indicating a significant amount of content inside, clearly accumulated over time, not inscribed in just one or two days.

”Learned the habit of recording Jade Talismans from Jingcheng, and kept it until now.” Ye Xinghan couldn’t help but smile.

Then he spoke:

”This time, I didn’t come out empty-handed. Although I didn’t come up with the thought of stealing life in these Jade Talismans, I tried something. The True Essence of the Wood Demon carries boundless vitality. When breaking through, using the Beast Communication Pattern to temporarily channel the True Essence of the Wood Demon and then integrating it into one’s own blood and energy with a Secret Technique can momentarily compensate for the flaw of a cultivator being too old to break through. The Spiritual Radiance Phenomenon earlier was proof!” Ye Xinghan explained.

Ye Jingyu was also stunned upon hearing this.

Then full of shock, these words seemed simple but, if true, their impact would be immense.

As the Ye Family had many cultivators, resources would never be sufficient, and many cultivators would exceed the optimal age for breakthroughs.

For instance, Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment should be done before sixty, and Foundation Establishment to Purple Mansion should be done before one hundred and ninety.

Beyond these ages, to break through requires taking spirit medicine for supplementing blood and energy or Longevity Elixir.

But both are extremely valuable, and currently, the Ye Family has only two for life extension: Longevity Tea and Longevity Spiritual Peach.

Ye Jingyu and Ye Xinghan had both taken them, and having done so, they knew how rare they were.

Furthermore, Ye Xinghan being so aged likely exhausted a lot of lifespan before seclusion.

Yet being able to provoke such a significant phenomenon that made them mistakenly believe he would succeed shows it was feasible.

”This Secret Technique, in the future, is claimed as your discovery. Exchanging it for a portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid should be no problem, Yun Mei is promising. You must teach her well; she could become the first Spirit Plant Master of the Ye Family...”

”Uncle Xinghan...”
