101: Chapter 101 Distributing Magical Artifacts

After giving the moon-breaking sword to Ye Tianhao,

Ye Jing did not forget to take out the delicate thin sword and hand it to Ye Tianyao, saying, "Yaoer, you are relatively close to Yao Beasts, but you have no weapon to protect yourself. This longsword is suitable for a female Cultivator; take it for self-defense."

He also remembered to give Ye Tianyao the Beast Taming Secret Manual he had bought at the market, along with some Spirit Beast Pellets for Spirit Beasts.

After all, this granddaughter of his had always been at home taking care of those domesticated Yao Beasts, so giving her the methods of beast taming was the most reliable choice.

However, there were few Cultivators who made a living through beast taming; these Beast Taming Secret Manuals only covered easy-to-understand domestication techniques. There were many details that Ye Tianyao would have to figure out for herself first.

Ye Tianyao was naturally delighted, clutching the spirit sword and the Beast Taming Secret Manual to her chest like precious treasures: "Thank you, Grandpa!"

After giving the Magical Artifacts to his two grandsons, Ye Jing looked at Ye Tianhui, who was already at the Qi Refining First Layer. Ye Tianhui had a playful and rather mischievous nature.

He didn't like practicing martial arts but was interested in some strange Spells. So, Ye Jing gave him several Protective Jade Plaques and a copy of the Cultivator's book, One Hundred Solutions to Strange Spells.

Upon seeing them, Ye Tianhui held them in his arms, unable to part with them, looking as blissfully happy as if he had just eaten a large skewer of candied haws.

As for his two daughters-in-law, Ye Jing was equally generous. He said to Wu Guiyun, "Gui Yun, you are skilled at drawing Talismans and other Magical Artifacts, and you are better at using them than an old man like me. I will give you some rare Materials for drawing Talismans, as well as some Secret Manuals related to Talisman drawing."

With that, Ye Jing took an exquisite wooden box from his Storage Pouch. When opened, it contained a complete set of High Grade Materials, including Cinnabar, Spirit Paper, and Talisman Brushes, neatly arranged to give Wu Guiyun plenty of room to draw freely.

Seeing this, Wu Guiyun's eyes filled with joy. She stepped forward to take the wooden box with both hands and said solemnly, "Thank you, Father! I will certainly not fail your high expectations. I will study diligently and add more strength to the Family in the future!"

Next, Ye Jing turned to his other daughter-in-law, Liu Xianglan. She had a gentle personality and usually devoted herself to studying basic Cultivation Techniques. Although her progress was not very fast, her Foundation was extremely solid.

She was very interested in things like pharmacology. The human skin lantern she had contracted, which belonged to a devil Cultivator, had already been purified of Devilish Qi by Ye Jing and renamed the soul-inducing lamp.

In particular, Liu Xianglan had been reading the Corpse Puppet Refining manual that Ye Jing had obtained from killing the Red Lotus Cult Elder; perhaps she could actually refine a Puppet.

Ye Jing took out a crimson Pill Furnace, along with a cloth bag containing many herbs and an Herbal Pill Scripture, letting Liu Xianglan try her hand at the art of Alchemy.

Tears welled up in Liu Xianglan's eyes as she said deeply, "Thank you for your regard, Father! I will certainly devote myself to the art of Alchemy! I will refine Medicinal Pills as soon as possible to protect the health and well-being of our Family."

To the other grandchildren, Ye Jing gave some defensive Magical Artifacts, Magic Treasures, and the like.

As for the Storage Pouches, every Family member was equipped with one for their convenience.

Ye Jing observed the expressions of everyone in the house, nodded slightly, and then said in a heavy voice, "The world is not peaceful now. Our Ye Family is currently only a bottom-tier Cultivator Family. I give you these things in the hope that you can protect yourselves and grow our Ye Family well!"

After hearing this, the whole Family voiced their agreement one after another.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will not fail my mission!" Ye Tianhao gripped the moon-breaking sword in his hand and spoke immediately.

The youth's voice was powerful and resonant, and a faint, sharp Sword Intent actually began to shimmer around him.

A flash of approval crossed Ye Jing's eyes. His eldest grandson had a steady personality and a great sense of responsibility; he was indeed good material for Cultivation.

Beside him, Ye Tianyao held her longsword and said in a crisp voice, "Don't worry, Grandpa, Yaoer will also practice beast taming well and won't be lazy!"

Ye Tianhui, meanwhile, held up his One Hundred Solutions to Strange Spells and made a face, saying, "Hehe, Grandpa, if I master these strange Spells, I'll definitely be able to help protect the Family!"

Wu Guiyun held the Materials for drawing Talismans and gave a hearty laugh: "Father, I will go into seclusion to study these next few days and strive to draw high-level Talismans as soon as possible for emergencies."

Liu Xianglan also said, "I will familiarize myself with the Pill Scripture as quickly as possible and won't hold everyone back!"

Looking at the high-spirited younger generation in the room, a warm current surged in Ye Jing's heart.

After telling them to Cultivate well, Ye Jing spoke about the Spiritual Vein deep within Qinling.

He planned to have Ye Tianhao and Ye Tianyao go with him to clear out the Yao Beasts there.

For safety's sake, Ye Jing told his two grandchildren to Cultivate well; this could be considered a form of trial.

Hearing that Ye Jing was letting them go to fight Yao Beasts for the first time, Ye Tianhao and Ye Tianyao were incredibly excited.

There was no reason for them not to agree.

Over the next few days, the Ye Family courtyard was bustling with activity as everyone threw themselves into intense preparations.

Every day before dawn, Ye Tianhao would get up and brandish his moon-breaking sword in the courtyard. The spiritual energy around him gathered continuously with his swordplay, showing faint signs of an impending Breakthrough.

Ye Tianyao wasn't idle either, practicing with her sword while also training several small Yao Beasts she had carefully raised. Under Xiao Chi's leadership, they were learning how to follow orders.

As for Wu Guiyun, she remained in seclusion. From time to time, fluctuations of spiritual energy from drawing Talismans would come from the side room of the courtyard, and occasionally, several golden lights could be seen leaking through the cracks in the window.

She produced many Talismans, all of which she gave to Ye Jing, while some were sent to Ye Xuan and Ye Yi, who were far away on the battlefield, just in case.

The smell of medicine constantly wafted from Liu Xianglan's room, and Ye Tianhui had also put away his usual grinning face to study his strange Spells.

After a few months had passed and Ye Jing had reached a Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, he felt it was time to set out.

He brought his two grandchildren along and rushed toward the Qinling Forbidden Zone.

Upon seeing that eerie valley, Ye Tianhao and Ye Tianyao were also greatly shocked. Black mist rolled within the valley, making it look like no ordinary place, which couldn't help but make one's skin crawl.

Standing at the mouth of the valley, Ye Jing said, "Haoer, Yaoer, pay attention. What fills this valley is no ordinary miasma, but Devilish Qi. There are also several First-Rank Spirit Beasts inside; you must be careful!"

The two grandchildren took this very seriously. Ye Tianhao gripped his moon-breaking sword tightly; the blade hummed incessantly as several months of hard Cultivation had made his spiritual energy increasingly condensed.

Ye Tianyao also took a step forward, and Xiao Chi beside her let out a sharp hiss, staring warily into the depths of the valley.

Ye Jing was the first to step forward. He swung a spirit sword in his hand, and a thick blast of spiritual energy tore an opening through the Devilish Qi permeating the valley entrance.

He naturally hadn't forgotten that someone had once come to scout this Spiritual Vein, so he had to secure it as quickly as possible.

"Let's go in! Be careful, there is a First-Rank Middle Stage Spirit Beast inside! Do not be careless!" Ye Jing took the lead and charged in.

As soon as the three of them stepped inside, a foul-smelling wave of Devilish Qi hit them, making the two grandchildren frown deeply.

The ground beneath their feet was pitch black as ink, with not a single blade of grass growing. Strange red patterns spread across the ground, pulsing with eerie fluctuations.

Seeing this situation, no one would ever think a Spiritual Vein was hidden here; it looked more like a desolate wasteland.

But Ye Tianhao and Ye Tianyao believed in Ye Jing; as long as they took this land, they would have a Spiritual Vein.

"Roar!"

A deafening beast roar suddenly rang out as a black shadow, shrouded in thick Devilish Qi, charged out from the valley.

Its body was as massive as a small mountain, with pitch-black fur and crimson eyes fixed intently on the three intruders.

In an instant, Ye Jing cast a Fireball Technique, illuminating the entire valley: "Kill it!"
