CHAPTER 186: CHAPTER 186: SCATTERING WOOD INTO SOLDIERS?

With a spiritual technique, the Cyan Elephant Furnace steadied and descended, its lid lifted.

Twelve elixirs swayed inside, exuding a rich pill fragrance.

Ye Jingcheng beckoned, and the twelve elixirs fell into his hand.

"Ten pill patterns, two pill fragrances, not bad!" Ye Jingcheng glanced at the elixirs and was extremely satisfied.

Though it was just the basic Spirit Nourishing Pill, having ten pill patterns was quite impressive.

Moreover, he hadn’t used the Red Flame Fox for alchemy this time.

Ye Jingcheng took the elixirs and looked at the Three-Colored Cloud Deer.

Though the Three-Colored Cloud Deer now possessed the strength of the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, its wariness of Ye Jingcheng was still considerable. Such a demon beast that had seen some days still needed a bit of taming.

This Spirit Nourishing Pill was precisely for taming.

Though merely an entry-level elixir of the Ye Family, its allure to newborn spirit beasts wasn’t insignificant.

Mainly due to its fragrance, additionally, the Spirit Nourishing Pill could promote better development in newborn spirit beasts.

In the Ye Family, young beasts were generally fed some Spirital Powder from the Spirit Nourishing Pill. Only when taming was a concern did they receive the whole pill.

This approach would enhance the chances of taming. At such a moment, coupling it with a Blood Contract made success nearly certain.

Upon taking out a Spirit Nourishing Pill, the Three-Colored Cloud Deer showed a hint of curiosity in its eyes.

It had also tasted the Spirital Powder from the Spirit Nourishing Pill, so it remembered the scent.

But because it had eaten little of the powder, it wouldn’t approach Ye Jingcheng on its own.

And this, even with Ye Jingcheng infusing it with Treasure Light.

To be precise, Ye Jingcheng had been somewhat hasty in acquiring the young beast.

Yet when Ye Jingcheng increased the number of Spirit Nourishing Pills from one to five, the Three-Colored Cloud Deer couldn’t resist, starting to flick its tongue while dry-chewing.

Its wings fluttered slightly.

Clearly, it desired them.

Ye Jingcheng directly tossed one, which the Three-Colored Cloud Deer caught in its mouth, quickly consuming it.

Afterwards, it looked again at Ye Jingcheng’s hand.

As a demon beast at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, its digestive capacity couldn’t be satisfied with just one Spirit Nourishing Pill.

Thus, it approached Ye Jingcheng, who began to form a Blood Contract with his other hand.

Of course, others shouldn’t normally hasten to form a Blood Contract at this stage, as the demon beast might still be wary.

But Ye Jingcheng’s Blood Contract was a Soul Contract, far superior to the blood contracts of ordinary Ye Family members, leaving no need for such worries.

Furthermore, he could daily infuse some Treasure Light as well.

For Ye Jingcheng, as long as the Blood Contract was established, another page in the Treasure Book could be opened, increasing his storage capacity of Treasure Light daily.

About Treasure Light, Ye Jingcheng had yet to decipher its composition, only knowing he could fill a page every five days.

Each soul contract with a spirit beast opened a page.

Currently, he had soul contracted four spirit beasts in total, opening four pages. The Jade Ring Rat, lacking manifestation in the Treasure Book, had no soul contract and produced no additional Treasure Light.

Up to now, Ye Jingcheng had been refilling the injuries of two spirit beasts and providing for the growth of the Jade Qilin Snake, the Five Poison Bee, and the Jade Ring Rat, consuming a substantial amount of Treasure Light daily.

Thus, being able to open another page was even more crucial for him.

During Ye Jingcheng’s application of the Blood Contract on the Three-Colored Cloud Deer, it displayed some evasiveness. At that moment, Ye Jingcheng infused a thin layer of Treasure Light onto his hand, mixing it with the elixir, prompting the Three-Colored Cloud Deer to hold still.

The Blood Contract was applied to the Three-Colored Cloud Deer’s brow; immediately, a strange blood pattern emerged.

Simultaneously, the Treasure Book within Ye Jingcheng’s body transformed distinctly.

The page marked with the Three-Colored Cloud Deer fully illuminated.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng also felt a sense of anticipation, wanting to see the Three-Colored Cloud Deer’s limits.

Among the many spirit beasts, the Jade Qilin Snake undoubtedly had the greatest potential, ultimately transforming into the Jade Qilin Dragon, a being of True Spirit caliber. Though unclear how many advancements were needed, this potential was worth continuous cultivation.

The Red Flame Fox, as a Nine-tailed Fire Fox, also had comparable growth prospects, and based on the display in the Treasure Book, it appeared quite promising.

The Golden Scale Beast was slightly inferior, eventually evolving into a spirit beast akin to the Earth Qilin. However, Ye Jingcheng was sure it wasn’t an Earth Qilin, as the true spirit manifestation showed a different Spiritual Aura.

The Earth Qilin was a True Spirit.

Thus, the Golden Scale Beast’s potential was somewhat lesser compared to the Red Flame Fox and Jade Qilin Snake.

As for the Five Poison Bee, it required little discussion, having only one space.

Recently, he planned to advance the Five Poison Bee. Afterward, it would ascend to the Second Tier Spirit Peak, enabling Ye Jingcheng to form a cloud of three thousand Five Poison Bees.

This, too, could be considered a formidable trump card.

He still vividly remembered the black armored scorpion cloud that Ye Xueliang manifested that day.

The Treasure Book continued turning; on one page, a Nine-Colored Profound Cloud Deer walked among the clouds, a low roar emanating from it, its antlers shining brilliantly!

Immediately behind it, countless giant trees surged from the ground, transforming into massive tree giants.

For a moment, this scene dominated the entire page, an awe-inspiring sight!

The scene quickly vanished, turning into the form of a Four-Colored Cloud Deer, yet the pill formula wasn’t a Tier One Elixir, but directly a Tier Two formula.

Evidently, this Three-Colored Cloud Deer was of the same caliber as the Jade Qilin Snake from birth.

No wonder it was a thousand more contribution points than the Jade Qilin Snake within the family.

Moreover, the light beside this page in the Treasure Book, similar to that of the Jade Qilin Snake, was of True Spirit level, with numerous opportunities for evolution.

Ye Jingcheng had heard of True Dragon True Spirit, but never of Nine-Colored Profound Cloud Deer True Spirit.

But since the Treasure Book asserted it, it certainly was a True Spirit.

After viewing the Treasure Book, Ye Jingcheng also established a subtle connection with the Three-Colored Cloud Deer.

The Three-Colored Cloud Deer still appeared slightly dizzy.

Evidently unsure what had transpired.

The divine soul fluctuations continuously questioned, why did this person in front seem so familiar?

Ye Jingcheng rubbed his forehead in disbelief.

Already its master, naturally familiar.

Though filled with questions, the Three-Colored Cloud Deer didn’t forget to use divine soul fluctuations to ask if there were more Spirit Nourishing Pills.

Clearly, being newly born, it didn’t know Ye Jingcheng couldn’t understand it.

It only sensed Ye Jingcheng’s warmth and bleated softly.

Ye Jingcheng immediately extracted another Spirit Nourishing Pill.

The deer’s eyes lit up, bleating more joyfully, even flapping its Cloud Wings.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t immediately give it to the deer. Instead, he retrieved an Iron Wood Token and initiated a Wood Vine Skill.

Instantly, dozens of Iron Wood Vines grew.

Ye Jingcheng extended the Iron Wood Token to the deer.

Indicating it would get the Spirit Nourishing Pill upon activation.

However, the Three-Colored Profound Cloud Deer simply flicked its tail, scattering several seeds, and with a stomp of its hoof.

Those seeds began sprouting, transforming into towering trees, expanding Ye Jingcheng’s house.

This magic clearly surpassed Ye Jingcheng’s Wood Vine Skill, even when combined with the Iron Wood Token.

Ye Jingcheng was momentarily dumbfounded.

Yet what amazed him further was the appearance of the Three-Colored Cloud Deer’s tri-colored mark, and the next moment, one of the trees sprouted legs and arms, becoming a mid-stage Tier One Wood Puppet.

"Scattering Wood into Soldiers?" Ye Jingcheng was taken aback by the Three-Colored Cloud Deer’s ability.

Instantly, he felt an even greater fondness for the deer.

In the future, even in exploring treacherous territories, he wouldn’t need to use the Five Poison Bees as cannon fodder anymore.

This Wood Puppet evidently suited that role better.

More importantly, the Three-Colored Cloud Deer had a vast growth potential.

"Alright, alright!" Ye Jingcheng quickly prompted the Three-Colored Cloud Deer to stop.

The grown trees immediately dissipated into spiritual light.

Although the house’s breach remained, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t bothered.

Acquiring this spirit beast was far more valuable than the house.

Crucially, this Three-Colored Profound Cloud Deer also was a Flying Spirit Beast; in the future, it could carry him in flight. Though not as fast as the Ye Family’s Mei Yuhe, its appearance was surely no less impressive than the Spotted Cloud Tiger.

Ye Jingcheng extracted some Spirit Beast Meat.

This Spirit Beast Meat wasn’t much, perfect for young spirit beasts.

Not only could it provide nutritious growth, but it could also maintain the spirit beast’s inherent vigor.

As a Ye Family member, to raise a spirit beast lacking vigor was to be displayed in the family shrine as a cautionary tale for the young clan members.
