Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Special Training
After thanking Ye Jingli, Ye Jingcheng also returned to his room.
The Red Flame Fox was already lying in front of the bed, its fiery red fur still emitting considerable heat, making the room slightly warm.
Its tail was still thick, and seeing Ye Jingcheng enter, it turned its head away and closed its eyes, not looking at Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng didn’t disturb it; this kind of willpower still needs to be cultivated by the Red Flame Fox. Just a day’s work is insignificant in the long years of cultivation.
Ye Jingcheng also got on the stone bed and began to slowly cultivate the Four Phase Celestial Essence Scripture.
Within Ye Jingcheng’s body, one could clearly see that the Four-Phase Spiritual Power was starting to differentiate distinctly. The fire attribute spiritual power was the most robust, while the other three attribute spiritual powers were much weaker.
This was related to Ye Jingcheng being able to borrow the strength of the Red Flame Fox through the Beast Communication Pattern.
However, unlike before, the entire body did not become hot and feverish, and the upper limit of this kind of spiritual power was much higher than the previous Li Fire Skill spiritual power.
He experimented a bit, and now he could deploy the Fireball Skill very quickly, not slower than deploying a Spirit Talisman, although it was difficult to cast the Fireball Skill consecutively.
A night of peaceful cultivation passed, and by the second day, a circulation quietly faded away.
Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes and found the Red Flame Fox had already awakened early. Its sky blue eyes on the reddened fox face appeared as unique as a pair of blue gemstones.
Its longing gaze rested on Ye Jingcheng, and seeing Ye Jingcheng finish cultivating, it chirped.
Ye Jingcheng stepped forward and touched the forehead of the Red Flame Fox, where the spirit pattern was even more pronounced, feeling like touching a completed pill furnace from a Yun Furnace.
This time, he didn’t hold back, as if he was saving the Red Flame Fox for the first time, pouring all the Treasure Light into the Red Flame Fox!
This caused its whole body to gradually be filled with red Spiritual Marsh, which grew larger and soon transformed into crimson clouds, illuminating the entire room.
Ye Jingcheng, somewhat surprised by this, activated the array, stepped out of the house, and hung the seclusion sign.
Then he continued to input energy into the Red Flame Fox.
While inputting, he could notice its forehead seemed to be igniting, the temperature increasing several times, prompting Ye Jingcheng to change locations and continue inputting.
By the time the Treasure Light was exhausted, the Red Flame Fox’s forehead had already begun to blaze, as if the Treasure Light input was too much, and the Red Flame Fox was unable to fully digest it.
"Chirp Chirp!"
The Red Flame Fox cried out with determined eyes.
Through the soul contract, Ye Jingcheng understood that the Red Flame Fox meant it was ready.
Ye Jingcheng did not delay, took out the pill bottle, and placed two crimson pills inside, turning the white jade pill bottle into red jade.
Ye Jingcheng took out one pill, and the Red Flame Fox promptly swallowed it!
After swallowing the Red Flame Pill, the flame on its forehead grew larger, encompassing the entire Red Flame Fox, forming a fire shield!
If not for the soul contract indicating that the Red Flame Fox was unharmed, Ye Jingcheng would have been worried that these flames might burn the Red Flame Fox to ashes.
The intense heat also enveloped the room, forcing Ye Jingcheng to take out an array to isolate the heat and cover the fire shield formed by the Red Flame Fox.
Otherwise, the entire Ye Family Shop would be at risk of being burned!
Besides the Red Flame Fox’s actions, Ye Jingcheng noticed a slow transmission of fire attribute spiritual power from the Beast Communication Pattern on his arm.
This made him dare not delay and continue cultivating!
The fire attribute spiritual power was extremely pure. One circulation could refine as much spiritual power as five or six circulations normally would.
This effect greatly delighted Ye Jingcheng.
If this continued, he was confident to breakthrough to Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer within half a year.
However, this condition weakened after seven days.
Half a month later, it completely disappeared.
Although Ye Jingcheng felt regret, he understood that initially the Red Flame Fox couldn’t bear the medicinal power, but now its tolerance was much stronger, and Ye Jingcheng couldn’t continue forcibly absorbing.
Otherwise, if it delayed the Red Flame Fox’s advancement, he would regret it too late.
Feeling the pure spiritual power within, advancing closer to Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer brought him great joy.
Getting off the bed, the spiritual light from the Treasure Book recovered a bit, and Ye Jingcheng fed the Golden Scale Beast and Jade Ring Rat as usual.
This time without the Red Flame Fox, the Golden Scale Beast was obviously more excited, bounding around.
However, asking Ye Jingcheng to increase the quantity of spiritual food and spirit pills was impossible.
Without the Red Flame Fox, Ye Jingcheng’s alchemy efficiency was greatly affected, and now he could only go to the Earth Fire Room of the Mo Family!
The quantity of spirit pills was greatly reduced.
Naturally, he couldn’t indulge as before.
Moreover, the Golden Scale Beast was unaware that with Ye Jingcheng’s time freed up, his upcoming focus would be on it.
After feeding the spiritual food, Ye Jingcheng brought the Golden Scale Beast to the inner courtyard, constantly urging it to refine the Earth Spike Skill!
The Earth Spike Skill, as a Tier One Middle Grade Earth Attribute Magic, also had considerable power, though the Golden Scale Beast hadn’t practiced diligently.
For example, the Red Flame Fox went from casting one fireball to ultimately casting three or five in succession!
These were the results of practice.
Ye Jingcheng also wanted to see if the Golden Scale Beast could simultaneously cast three or four earth spikes, creating a barrage of earth spikes that ordinary Qi Cultivation cultivators couldn’t defend against.
Besides this, Ye Jingcheng also needed to practice the Golden Scale Beast’s use of the Jade Shield Ring!
After all, they were soon to clear Jade Dragon Valley, and strength was crucial.
In the inner courtyard, the Golden Scale Beast was exhausted, panting with its golden scales appearing a bit dull!
It looked at Ye Jingcheng with eyes full of plea for mercy.
As if saying it wouldn’t jump anymore.
Ye Jingcheng seemingly ignored it, continuing to train it like the Red Flame Fox!
He casually pointed in a direction, requiring the Golden Scale Beast to release the Earth Spike Skill, and that earth spike had to be five feet long and half a foot wide!
If it didn’t meet the requirement or the earth spike was slow, he made it continue to release!
Until it met the requirements!
The Golden Scale Beast’s front hooves incessantly stomped the ground.
After a day’s practice, the Golden Scale Beast finally met the requirements.
But the second attempt slowed down again, indicating it lacked spiritual energy.
Ye Jingcheng approached and fed the Golden Scale Beast a Spirit Nourishing Pill, then input some Treasure Light, prompting it to continue releasing.
The input Treasure Light wasn’t much, first to avoid suspicion, and secondly because he intended to train the Golden Scale Beast’s response under spiritual energy deficiency.
"Xiaojin, achieve the goal three more times like before and we’re done!" Ye Jingcheng continued training, continuously pushing the Golden Scale Beast’s limits.
The next day, when the Golden Scale Beast thought it could complete the tasks freely, Ye Jingcheng again increased the earth spike’s target height by several inches.
This ongoing special training was observed by other Ye Clan members.
They also became curious whether Ye Jingcheng could succeed. Even Ye Xinghe had similar thoughts; if this method worked, it might not affect ordinary clan members much, but for Ye Clan members with Beast Communication Patterns, it would be an epic breakthrough.
After all, previously the Ye Family focused on studying pill formulas, researching Body Tempering Liquid...
