Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Outside, the darkness was as deep as ink, with only the exceptionally loud howling of wolves piercing the silence.

Inside, however, it was as bright as fire.

Ye Jingcheng's entire body radiated a red and yellow glow.

Several spirit beasts also looked over with curiosity.

As the Beast Communication Tattoo circulated, Ye Jingcheng discovered that the earth-attributed spiritual energy flowing from the Goldscale Beast not only nourished his meridians but also spread across the surface of his skin, forming a bright, earthy-yellow spiritual sheen.

He hadn't noticed this at first, but after breaking through, he realized that this earthy-yellow spiritual sheen was like a suit of armor.

Clearly, this was the origin of the Goldscale Beast's scales.

This naturally delighted Ye Jingcheng, so he also tried circulating fire-attributed spiritual energy, which resulted in the room being filled with red and yellow spiritual light.

However, it was clear that the Crimson Flame Fox's spiritual power was more inclined towards increasing the power of his Fireball Technique.

The red spiritual sheen only made his skin slightly hot and had no other effects.

The Goldscale Beast's spiritual power, on the other hand, was more inclined towards enhancing the defense of his body's surface.

Ye Jingcheng tried to circulate the Earth Spike Technique, but the increase in speed and power was minimal.

This made it clear to Ye Jingcheng that the Goldscale Beast's ability to cast the Earth Spike Technique so fluently was probably due to its large, earthy-yellow spiritual paws.

Even so, Ye Jingcheng was pleasantly surprised.

Although the Goldscale Beast's Earth Spike Technique was powerful, its most famous feature was, of course, its full body of scales.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng took out a basic spell and began to practice the Stone Skin Technique.

Before specializing in the Four Aspects Heavenly Origin Scripture, Ye Jingcheng had only practiced basic fire-attributed spells, such as Fireball, Fire Shield, and Fire Snake.

He had rarely practiced spells of other attributes.

In the cultivation world, very few cultivators learn all the low-level spells; most specialize in one type.

After obtaining the Four Aspects Heavenly Origin Scripture, he didn't have enough time to practice them, as alchemy and cultivation took up most of his time.

Now that he had the Goldscale Beast's scale armor effect, he decided to learn the Stone Skin Technique.

This Stone Skin Technique was recorded in the Four Aspects Heavenly Origin Scripture, and since he was now at the seventh level of Qi training, learning it was not slow.

In three days, Ye Jingcheng had completely mastered it, and a layer of stone skin began to appear on his body's surface.

However, unlike ordinary stone skin, which was gray, Ye Jingcheng's stone skin was bronze-colored.

Ye Jingcheng took out the Shadowstream Sword and slashed at his arm!

The next moment, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the Shadowstream Sword could not cut through this layer of stone skin at all.

Although the Shadowstream Sword was only a low-grade Tier 1 weapon, it was by no means too bad.

Ye Jingcheng took out the Silver Ice Needle and had to use spiritual power to pierce a hole in the stone skin.

He was very satisfied with this effect.

This was almost equivalent to a mid-grade Tier 1 defensive magic tool.

Moreover, if his skin was tanned a little darker, becoming bronze-colored, perhaps others wouldn't even notice that he had the Stone Skin Technique on him.

At critical moments, it might have unexpected effects.

Ye Jingcheng practiced several more times, and it was almost like the Fireball Technique: as long as he absorbed spiritual energy from the other side of the Beast Communication Tattoo, he could instantly cast the Stone Skin Technique.

However, if the Stone Skin Technique was applied to other external objects, the effect would be the same as if he had cast it himself.

This dashed Ye Jingcheng's idea of applying the Stone Skin Technique to the Crimson Flame Fox.

Ye Jingcheng then looked at the Goldscale Beast, and at that moment, he became curious about whether the Goldscale Beast could use the Stone Skin Technique.

He guessed that the Goldscale Beast should be able to, but perhaps it was an instinct, and it wouldn't normally pay attention to it.

The Goldscale Beast could sense Ye Jingcheng's thoughts, but at that moment, it was also a little confused, as if asking if it could.

Ye Jingcheng then had the Goldscale Beast release different spiritual energies, and the golden luster of its scales also changed.

After Ye Jingcheng recorded the changes, he found that the denser the scale light, the stronger the defense!

After confirming his guess, Ye Jingcheng felt relieved, but he did not immediately refine the Goldscale Beast's advancement pill.

The Goldscale Beast had just broken through and was not yet stable; it would be better to advance it after it had stabilized.

Now, he was curious about Ye Haiping's words.

He would know when he advanced to the seventh level of Qi training, and he was now exactly at the seventh level of Qi training.

The next day, as the sky began to brighten, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the Treasure Pavilion.

Ye Haiping was still sitting at the desk. Ye Jingcheng took out spiritual tea and brewed another pot for Ye Haiping, filling the celadon cup.

"You're at the seventh level of Qi training?" Ye Haiping was a little surprised, but then seemed to remember that Ye Jingcheng had a five-inch Beast Communication Tattoo and seemed to understand.

He looked at Ye Jingcheng with a meaningful gaze.

Ye Jingcheng did not dodge; he had come today to explore the secret.

More importantly, he wanted to ask how the Jade Scale Snake's spirit egg had been exchanged for back then.

"I was lucky to break through, Eighth Grandfather. I'm cultivating the Four Aspects Heavenly Origin Scripture, and I wanted to ask if the family can exchange for a new spirit beast!" Ye Jingcheng asked, without hiding anything.

The more he cultivated the Four Aspects Heavenly Origin Scripture, the more he felt how powerful this technique was, and although there were no bottlenecks before Foundation Establishment, the sooner he had the corresponding spirit beast, the more stable his future cultivation path would be.

"Come with me!" Ye Haiping took out a wooden token and stuck it on the table. The Treasure Pavilion's formation immediately changed.

After doing this, Ye Haiping led Ye Jingcheng towards the stairs of the Treasure Pavilion.

Soon, they reached the second floor.

Ye Jingcheng had been to this floor many times, so it was not unfamiliar to him. However, this time, Ye Haiping did not stop on the second floor but continued towards the third floor.

The third floor of the Treasure Pavilion was even more mysterious. Even when Ye Jingcheng followed the shadows of the stairs, he felt a sense of blurriness.

When they reached the third floor, Ye Jingcheng thought it would be a place where treasures were stored.

However, he found that it was empty, resembling a conference hall.

In the center of the hall was a spiritual map with many markings, such as the Idlycloud Chu Clan and the Bluecloth Li Clan…

Without exception, these families were marked in red.

At the very top, the reddest of all was the Taiyi Sect.

This scene naturally filled Ye Jingcheng with confusion.

He wanted to speak, but Ye Haiping did not answer. He simply took out a token from the spiritual table next to him.

This token looked no different from an ordinary family token, and its color was also dull gray.

"Exchange for this family token. From now on, you will be a member of the family's inner hall!" Ye Haiping did not explain much and handed the token to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng took the token, and the next moment, he suddenly discovered that there was a hidden mystery within this family token.

As his divine sense entered, he found that there were many spiritual shadows inside.

Looking closely at these spiritual shadows, he could see jade scrolls, spirit beast eggs, spirit pills, magic tools…

Under each spiritual shadow was a corresponding number of contribution points.

This was clearly a more detailed exchange list.

"This is the inner hall's token. You can exchange for the treasures inside, as long as you have enough contribution points!"

"In addition, members of the inner hall are also eligible to access some of the family's secrets. If the token lights up with one beam of light, it means there is a meeting here. If the token lights up with two beams of light, it means there is a change in the family, and an emergency meeting is required. If it lights up with three beams of light, protect yourself; the family is facing a crisis of extermination!"
