Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Chapter 10: Harvest and Worries

In this battle in the valley, Ye Jingcheng and the other three obtained a total of seven first-tier initial-stage fawns. According to his fourth brother's estimation, each fawn could be sold to the family for around thirty spirit stones.

Among the eighteen first-tier initial-stage adult deer carcasses, only seven were male deer, and even fewer had growing antlers, only three. The value difference between those with antlers and those without antlers was enormous.

Those with antlers could be sold for fifteen spirit stones, while those without antlers could only be sold for around eight spirit stones.

In addition, there were ten first-tier middle-grade deer carcasses, of which nine were male deer. Five of them had antlers, each worth thirty spirit stones, while those without antlers were worth twenty spirit stones.

The spirit stones from the long-eared deer alone amounted to nearly six hundred spirit stones.

The Azure Cloud Wolves were of ordinary value. There were thirty first-tier low-grade Azure Cloud Wolves, each carcass worth about four spirit stones, and twelve first-tier middle-grade Azure Cloud Wolves, each carcass worth ten spirit stones.

In total, there were about eight hundred and twenty spirit stones. After deducting some wolf meat for the four of them to feed their spirit beasts, and some losses, there were still a full eight hundred spirit stones.

Of course, Ye Jingyu would get the lion's share, as he used two first-tier high-grade Fire Rain Talismans, which were worth two hundred spirit stones.

Ye Jingcheng didn't know how much he would get, but it wouldn't be less than a hundred.

When he went to the Alchemy Pavilion to refine spirit pills, each refining session took three days, and the net profit was only about twenty spirit stones.

In other words, not counting the spring water he obtained, it was equivalent to him refining five batches of Spirit Feeding Pills.

The mountain rain was still heavy, and the smoke continued to rise, making the entire Lingyun Peak appear even more hazy and unpredictable.

In addition to his excitement, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but look towards the top of the mountain.

Besides the spoils he was about to receive, Ye Jingcheng was also worried that the changes in the Jade Ring Mouse and the Scarlet Flame Fox would arouse suspicion from the family.

Cultivation was always cruel, although he knew that the Ye family at least had some warmth.

However, he had also tested it. When he was tested for his spiritual roots, the ancient book had already been there, but the elders of the family had never discovered it.

Moreover, once the Scarlet Flame Fox was contracted, unless Ye Jingcheng actively dissolved the blood contract, the demon beast could not be blood-contracted a second time.

Furthermore, two blood contracts in a short period would also cause the demon beast's divine soul to weaken, and even death was highly possible.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head and stopped looking at the rain dripping from the eaves. Instead, he entered the house and took out the Scarlet Flame Fox and the Jade Ring Mouse.

He also took out three bowls and poured a bowl of spring water into each.

He placed the Jade Ring Mouse in a corner, where it drank the spring water alone.

The Scarlet Flame Fox took the initiative to climb onto Ye Jingcheng's lap, looking at him with great attachment. Its clear and melodious chirping was still pleasing to the ear.

Its reddish tongue kept darting around, as if playfully acting cute.

Then, it looked longingly at the bowl of spring water.

"Little Yan, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

Although Ye Jingcheng complained, he also liked the Scarlet Flame Fox from the bottom of his heart, so he picked up the spring water and placed it in front of the Scarlet Flame Fox's mouth, personally feeding it to drink.

After drinking the spring water, a faint spiritual light slowly shimmered on the Scarlet Flame Fox's body again, making its already scarlet fur even more lustrous.

Ye Jingcheng gently stroked the Scarlet Flame Fox's fur, and with his other hand, he drank his own spring water.

… …

Slightly higher up on the mountainside of Lingyun Peak, countless clouds and mist could already be seen swirling around. In the rain, it was even more exquisitely beautiful like a painting.

A grand hall stood quietly here, which was also the Ye family's council hall.

At this moment, Ye Jingyu was standing in a corner of the hall, with his head lowered.

In front of him were several elders of the Ye family. If Ye Jingcheng were here, he would discover that there was the previous family head of the Ye family, Ye Haicheng, and also the current family head of the Ye family, Ye Xingliu.

In addition, there were several elders of the Ye family at the ninth level of Qi training.

Naturally, this included the Hunting Demon Hall Elder Ye Haiyi and the Ye Family Alchemy Pavilion Elder Ye Haiyun.

Ye Xingliu was wearing ordinary loose green clothes, but it was difficult to conceal his heroic spirit. Clearly, Ye Jingyu's outstanding appearance was also inherited from Ye Xingliu.

"What do you all think?" Ye Xingliu asked.

"This old man believes that we misjudged. That Scarlet Fox does indeed have extraordinary abilities. Since Jingcheng can save him, it shows that it is his opportunity. We should let Jingcheng carry it forward, after all, our Ye family doesn't look at spiritual roots!"

"If he has enough beast-controlling skills, the more spiritual root attributes he has, the better, and the more he is worth cultivating!" Ye Haiyun was the first to speak.

If these words were said elsewhere, they would definitely be astonishing, but the cultivators in the hall were all extremely calm.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Ye Xingliu looked at Ye Haicheng above.

"Don't you already have an answer in your heart?" Ye Haicheng turned to ask Ye Xingliu.

"I can't hide it from Granduncle!" Ye Xingliu also smiled slightly, then looked at Jingyu.

"You reported this matter well. This child Jingcheng is good. You should take care of him more often, and the family will also increase his salary!"

"Yes! Father!" Ye Jingyu nodded repeatedly. His report this time was naturally not to covet the Scarlet Flame Fox.

It was just that such a powerful Scarlet Flame Fox still needed to be reported to the family, and he also believed in his father.

Now, it was also the answer he wanted to see.

The Ye family had never squeezed or exploited their clansmen, but caution was indeed necessary.

After speaking, Ye Xingliu looked at Ye Haiyun again:

"I hope Fourth Uncle can take some time to guide Jingcheng more often. If his alchemy can break through to a first-tier middle-grade alchemist, then support will come naturally!"

"Moreover, it is said that he can already refine spirit fragrance when refining Spirit Feeding Pills. Then his inner hall assessment can also be arranged!"

"Yes, Family Head!" Ye Haiyun also nodded. He also valued Ye Jingcheng very much. They had been observing Jingcheng's temperament and character all this time.

Apart from being too modest, it was really impossible to find other faults.

Now that his talent for spirit beasts was also good, then it was even more worthwhile for the Ye family to cultivate him.

There was also a great reason why his Ye family didn't value spiritual roots.

… …

In Ye Jingcheng's courtyard, Ye Jingcheng had rarely cultivated for a day.

As a mouthful of turbid air was exhaled, there was a little more Li Fire spiritual energy in his meridians.

The feeling of faintly wanting to break a kind of shackle made him very much look forward to it.

This was a sign of a breakthrough.

Outside the house, the heavy rain had stopped at some point, and sunlight shone in from the window.

Then came the voices of Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingyong.

"Is Jingcheng there?"

"Yes, Second Brother, Fourth Brother!" Ye Jingcheng put away the Scarlet Flame Fox and the Jade Ring Mouse, then walked out of the house.

He welcomed the two in and hurriedly carried the teapot to brew a pot for Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingyong.

Although the tea leaves were ordinary mountain wild tea leaves, the water was spring water. Brewing it at this moment, it naturally had some spiritual energy. Drinking it, it was equally moist and full of flavor.

Ye Jingyu gently sipped a mouthful, while Ye Jingyong finished a cup in one gulp, holding the bowl and wanting to pour another cup.

"Jingcheng, quickly pour another cup for Second Brother. This time, Fourth Brother said that he accounted for 40% of the credit, you accounted for 30% of the credit, and I accounted for 20%!"

"Moreover, do you know how many spirit stones were sold this time?"

"A full nine hundred spirit stones! The family gave an extra hundred spirit stones for those seven long-eared deer because they were of excellent quality!"

"You made a big profit. I must drink a few more pots of tea brewed with your spring water!"

"Moreover, because the Spirit Feeding Pills you refined were particularly useful, the family has opened up a first-tier middle-grade spirit pill recipe for you to use for free!" Ye Jingyong said in one breath, also very excited!

This chapter is the most important tonight, everyone remember to follow it closely.
