Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Inner Hall Token
"Moreover, if you have an urgent matter to announce to all clan members, you can use the Beast Communication Pattern to activate this token!" Ye Haiping spoke again.
As he spoke, he activated the Beast Communication Pattern in his hand, emitting a faint Spiritual Light.
The token also emitted a layer of shallow Spiritual Light.
The two seemed to be merging into one, but at that moment, the Beast Communication Pattern on Ye Haiping’s arm instantly disappeared.
Ye Haiping took the lead in demonstrating to Jingcheng.
"Of course, all treasures and contents on this clan token must not be disclosed to outsiders, otherwise this token will also listen in, and as for the consequences, I don’t need to elaborate, right?" Ye Haiping’s eyes narrowed slightly.
His gaze revealed an unprecedented killing intent.
Even Jingcheng couldn’t help but shiver, nodding his head.
This token was indeed similar to the Clan Jade Book in his mind.
It seems, under normal circumstances, this token should be kept in a Storage Bag, although he trusted the clan, if it could truly monitor constantly, he still felt reluctant to be completely exposed.
"Additionally, this token cannot be seen inside without the Beast Communication Pattern!" Ye Haiping introduced further.
This point surprised Jingcheng somewhat, such a special token with such functionality needing the Beast Communication Pattern, he even wondered if this token was crafted by some Stone Spirit.
Ye Haiping continued to introduce more details, which Jingcheng noted down completely.
After the introduction, Ye Haiping sat down at the table.
Jingcheng, on the other hand, checked the Spiritual Shadow inside the token with great interest.
His gaze naturally fell on two Jade Qilin Snake Spirit Eggs first.
"Unhatched Tier Three Jade Qilin Snake Spirit Egg, contribution points required: three thousand!"
"Unhatched Tier Three Jade Qilin Snake Spirit Egg, slightly flawed, contribution points required: two thousand!"
Seeing the prompt, Jingcheng was momentarily stunned!
The day he selected it, he guessed Ye Haiyi might have deduced something.
But unbelievably, the clan set the price for the slightly underdeveloped yet more talented spirit egg significantly lower again.
Of course, stunned as he was, Jingcheng preferred to see this situation.
It meant it would be much easier for him to exchange for it.
Otherwise, he would need to work on alchemy for years to earn an extra thousand contribution points.
That is, assuming his two spirit beasts control their appetite.
Moreover, Jingcheng also saw the crimson Blood Leech Spirit Egg from the previous eradication of the evil cultivator.
"Unhatched Blood Leech Insect King Egg, group-type spirit beast, effective monitoring, but insufficient blood qi, difficult to hatch, contribution points required: two thousand!"
The introduction of the Blood Leech was extremely detailed, helping Jingcheng understand why this insect egg was so valuable.
In the Ye Family’s classification of spirit beasts, they are generally divided into three kinds: auxiliary spirit beasts, combat spirit beasts, and group spirit beasts.
The first two are self-explanatory, without needing much scrutiny, while group spirit beasts are the most unique. These spirit beasts can solidify monitoring and detection, treasure-seeking, and even play a miraculous role in magical combat.
Such as the Seeking Spirit Beehive and Strong Ant Ants previously.
The Blood Leech Insect King indeed intrigued Jingcheng.
Others may not hatch it, but he might be able to.
Moreover, he has several seven-inch Beast Communication Patterns.
The scene of the Treasure Book’s transformation from one to a thousand, thousand to ten thousand is still vivid in his memory.
Besides these two familiar spirit eggs, there are other spirit eggs whose value in Jingcheng’s view wasn’t that high, mostly around one thousand contribution points.
Additionally, on this token, not only can you exchange for young beasts, but also for adult spirit beasts.
This is also called inheritance.
Evidently, both Jingyu and Jing Yong had inherited spirit beasts here previously.
In the Ye Family, if a nurtured spirit beast does not cultivate as quickly as the cultivator, it can inherit a higher cultivation spirit beast to enhance cultivation speed.
What surprised Jingcheng was that there was a Tier Two Red Blood Eagle available for inheritance, requiring twenty thousand contribution points, which converted to Spirit Stones is far higher than the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Moreover, not only is there the contribution point requirement, but also two additional conditions.
First, Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer before fifty years old, and second, cultivation of a Fire Attribute Cultivation Technique!
In terms of Magical Artifacts and Spirit Pills, there were not many that stirred Jingcheng.
Even so, today’s shock left him pondering for quite a while.
He thought of Ye Haiyi, and Turtle Ancestor.
Turtle Ancestor surely is an inheritance-type spirit beast; Third Elder Ye Haiyi probably couldn’t exchange for it and should have temporarily used Communication Beast to complete tasks.
It’s uncertain if it will appear in the inner hall token’s Spiritual Shadow in the future.
"Alright, let’s go down, your eighth grandfather has to face family punishment!" Ye Haiping suggested after sitting for some time.
Then led Jingcheng to the first floor.
Regarding various layouts and markings on the Spirit Diagram, Jingcheng inquired several times, but Ye Haiping didn’t answer.
Changing the topic casually and brushing past it.
This made him alert that it might be the reason behind the Ye Family’s low profile.
Now, Jingcheng was entirely convinced his clan was a Purple Mansion Clan, possibly having Purple Mansion Cultivators, surely possessing Purple Mansion Spirit Beasts, and perhaps more than two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Other families may need Foundation Establishment Pills, but the Ye Family could use Tier Two Spirit Beasts for communication, hence the three significant barriers of Foundation Establishment, especially the Spiritual Power Barrier was almost ineffectual.
As for the Illusion Technique Barrier and Body Barrier, the chances of overcoming them are not small.
Except, not breaking through Foundation Establishment with a Foundation Establishment Pill, the sole shortcoming is that failure to breakthrough means death.
Reaching the first floor, the Spirit Tea brewed by Jingcheng was already thoroughly cold.
Jingcheng placed the pot of Spirit Tea into his Storage Bag, then took out fresh tea and began brewing anew.
The cold tea could be re-heated and drunk at home later.
As an Alchemy Master, he managed temperature well, presumably able to preserve the original taste.
Jingcheng began drinking Spirit Tea anew with Ye Haiping.
Certainly, he wasn’t solely drinking Spirit Tea, but asking Ye Haiping about cultivation and alchemy questions.
Since Communication Beast, his cultivation speed indeed increased, surely better than Three Spirit Roots, probably not much different from Dual Spirit Roots.
However, cultivation isn’t solely about practicing; there are many techniques where avoiding errors can greatly increase cultivation speed.
This explains why many cultivators strive to join sects, as they offer better inheritance and more experienced mentors and uncles.
After numerous queries, half a day passed, and under the setting sun, red clouds filled the sky’s horizon, Jingcheng returned to his small courtyard, brimming with newfound knowledge.
The newly recorded knowledge and experience filled half a Jade Talisman.
The Golden Scale Beast waited at the courtyard gate, first rushing towards Jingcheng.
Its mouth salivated, Spiritual Light somewhat dimmed.
Today’s practice of Earth Spike Skill, combined with Stone Skin Skill, consumed a massive amount of Spiritual Energy.
It forgot that Jingcheng visited the Treasure Tower today, rendering it void of Spiritual Energy and empty-bellied.
If Jingcheng did not return soon, it might have to chase the Jade Ring Rat...
