Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Five Elemental Spells Mastered
Ye Jingcheng opened the door that hadn’t been opened for a long time and saw in the courtyard, Ye Jingli dressed in a particularly refreshing blue robe, full of smiles and excitement.
"Brother Liu, there is good news!" Ye Jingcheng looked at Ye Jingli’s happiness and understood clearly why he was so delighted.
He also immediately noticed the Beast Communication Pattern Spirit Shadow on Ye Jingli’s arm that hadn’t faded away.
Although it was faint, Ye Jingcheng immediately recognized it as two three-inch Beast Communication Patterns.
At this moment, Ye Jingli occasionally glanced at his arm.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but smile wryly in his heart; indeed, the family’s worries were well-founded.
His Brother Liu couldn’t keep secrets.
"Jingcheng, it’s indeed a joyous occasion, I bought a pot of Spirit Wine, Cyan Bamboo Wine, let’s have a sip!" Luckily, Ye Jingli didn’t directly ask Ye Jingcheng if he had any Beast Communication Patterns or compare their lengths or the like.
"Then I’ll owe it to Brother Liu’s good fortune!"
As Ye Jingcheng was about to invite Ye Jingli into the room, he saw Ye Jingli shaking his head.
"Jingcheng, let’s drink in the courtyard; my Cyan-Scaled Python can cast magic!" Ye Jingli said proudly.
"And it can cast five types of magic, completing the Five Elements!"
This time, Ye Jingcheng was a bit surprised too.
Especially at the last sentence, since the Cyan-Scaled Python should be a water attribute spirit beast, if it could cast magic, it should be things like Poisonous Fog or Water Arrow Skill.
Ye Jingli pretended to be mysterious and smiled, then took out a stone table from his Storage Bag and two small stools from Ye Jingcheng’s room.
The Cyan Bamboo Wine was placed on the table.
He then took out a two-foot-long Red Section Fish.
"Jingcheng, you’re an Alchemy Master, your Spiritual Cuisine skills should be better than mine, but it’s best to braise it, as the scales of this Red Section Fish are very hard!"
Ye Jingcheng watched as Ye Jingli took out one set after another from his Storage Bag, and he couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
His Brother Liu was indeed particular about celebrating.
Regarding the making of Spiritual Cuisine, the Ye Family had done considerable research, as Ye Family cultivators often hunted Demon Beasts, possessing unique insights into spirit beasts.
However, due to the Mo Family’s existence, the Ye Family had not opened a Spiritual Cuisine Tavern.
Otherwise, in Taihang Market, it would be hard to say whether the best restaurant was named Mo or Ye.
Ye Jingcheng accepted the Red Section Fish and began making a Red Section Fish Spiritual Cuisine. Of course, his research into Spiritual Cuisine wasn’t extensive, mainly focusing on the ’spirit’ aspect rather than the ’taste’; he had learned this from his Thirteenth Aunt Ye Xinghong.
But after it was done, it had the same golden color, rich in Spiritual Energy, with a full aroma spreading for several miles.
Ye Jingli quickly poured a drink for Ye Jingcheng, taking out two cups.
"Jingcheng, this wine is hard to come by. At the Mo Family Tavern, it sells for ten Spirit Stones a pot, made from the heart of the Cyan Spirit Bamboo that’s three years old, blended with Cyan Essence Flower, Orchid, and Cyan Cloud Spirit Rice, aged three years, then matured for another three years. Only when the aroma spreads ten miles after opening the lid does it get sold!"
Ye Jingli explained with some research.
"Thank you, Brother Liu, I’ll toast to you first!" Ye Jingcheng lifted his cup first.
The two drank immediately, and as the wine entered their mouths, Ye Jingcheng felt as though he had returned to the Cyan Bamboo Forest of Taihang Market, that subtle bamboo elegance was endless, yet it didn’t lack the robust punch of Spirit Wine.
Even if Ye Jingcheng didn’t understand wine, he could taste the unique flavor of this wine.
And his entire body was filled with much more Spiritual Energy.
Indeed, apart from being expensive, it had no other flaws.
Bear in mind, even Spirit Tea that Ye Jingcheng often drank only cost five Spirit Stones for a small packet enough to brew four or five pots.
Ye Jingcheng happily ate a piece of Red Section Fish with Ye Jingli.
Ye Jingli then released his Cyan-Scaled Python.
The Cyan-Scaled Python had grown larger once again, now two feet wide and three yards long.
Coiled in the courtyard, it took up nearly half of the space.
Ye Jingcheng was greatly interested and wanted to know what magic the Cyan-Scaled Python could perform.
However, the next moment, Ye Jingcheng was somewhat stunned.
He saw that the Cyan-Scaled Python’s mouth unknowingly held a Spirit Talisman Ejector.
As the Cyan-Scaled Python’s Spiritual Power gathered, one Spirit Talisman after another was shot out, instantly turning into Fireball Talismans, Ice Freeze Talismans, and Earth Spike Talismans, along with Wood Vine Talismans.
Indeed, it mastered the complete Five Elements of magic!
If it weren’t for the difficult-to-obtain Thunder Talisman and Wind Talisman, it would master more than just the Five Elements.
However, Ye Jingcheng realized this method indeed had merit. For those unaware cultivators, a Cyan-Scaled Python that doesn’t know how to cast magic wouldn’t be taken seriously, but when shot out like this, it had extraordinary effects.
Moreover, this ejector device significantly increased the speed of the Spirit Talismans.
"Not bad, eh?" Ye Jingli said with a smile.
"Brother Liu truly is a genius! Would it be possible to make another of this wonderful artifact?" Ye Jingcheng praised while trying to inquire.
His Golden Scale Beast and Red Flame Fox, indeed, didn’t need this, but his Jade Ring Rat, with those Jade Ring Ears, could certainly use something like this.
"Of course, if you want one, I’ll give you a half-price discount!" Ye Jingli assured, patting his chest.
"Jingcheng, today you must keep drinking with Brother Liu; Brother Liu has made huge progress and encountered great opportunities, but it must remain a secret!"
"You work hard, and maybe you’ll be the next one!"
Ye Jingli continued to act mysterious, and at this point, Ye Jingcheng just smiled without speaking.
It was unknown how Ye Jingli would feel when he learned that it was precisely Ye Jingcheng’s vote that decided his Beast Communication Pattern ceremony.
As they continued drinking, Ye Jingcheng gathered that Ye Jingli went to the Taihang Mountain Range to hunt a group of Forest Pigs.
That day, they drank until the sunset and the chirping of insects filled the air before they stopped.
The next day, Ye Jingcheng also received the news that the family was about to set off.
This time, the cultivator leading the team was still Ye Haiyi.
This didn’t surprise Ye Jingcheng, as within the clan token, a new exchange item appeared, the Lizard Lord.
The Contribution Points listed were fifty thousand, which was thirty thousand more than a Tier Two Red Blood Eagle.
If Ye Jingcheng guessed correctly, this was Ye Haicheng preparing for the Communication Beast Turtle Ancestor, possibly getting ready to break through to the Purple Mansion.
Otherwise, the Ye Family wouldn’t be urgently trying to enhance the Spirit Vein now.
Of course, a guess remained a guess; Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t rashly ask around.
As for inheriting the Lizard Lord, even if Ye Jingcheng wished, he didn’t have enough Contribution Points.
His main goal now was the Communication Beast Jade Qilin Snake.
...
Two more days passed, and on a small hill of Lingyun Peak, surrounded by shrubberies.
This time, eight people went to the Taihang Mountain Range.
Ye Haiyi arrived early and took out eight sets of black Spirit-Blocking Robes for everyone to wear.
After putting them on, he pulled out a Spiritual Ship.
The Spiritual Ship was one Ye Jingcheng had never boarded, without a mast or a green sail.
It was somewhat similar to a Loose Cultivator’s Spiritual Ship; as dawn broke, the Spiritual Ship gently flew toward the Taihang Mountain Range!
