141: Chapter 141 Snow Eagle Advances

Seeing the Peak Rank 1 beast bone and blood sent by his grandson, Ye Jing sighed softly.

The growth of his Immortal Light had slowed down recently, with only a few hundred strands now; relying on ascending Yao Beasts wouldn't yield much, but it was better than nothing.

Seeing this, Ye Jing immediately called Ye Yi over.

At this time, Ye Yi was in the corridor supervising his grandsons' martial arts practice and cultivation. When Wu Xianglan called for him to come over, he didn't dare delay for a moment.

"Father, were you looking for me?"

Outside the room, a dark-skinned man spoke loudly. He wore a dark short-sleeved tunic, his face covered in sweat, and he was incredibly sturdy, looking like a wall.

Because Ye Yi's cultivation had stagnated over the past six months and he was temporarily unable to progress further, he focused on honing his martial arts.

Since he had been attacked by people from the Xuanyou Sect at the Generals Manor, he had directly requested the Emperor to allow him to recuperate at home and resigned from his official position.

After all, he was now an Immortal, so the Emperor didn't say much and granted permission immediately. Thus, Ye Yi was relatively idle at home.

Ye Jing walked out and handed the letters from Ye Tianyao and Ye Tianhao to Ye Yi, saying, "Your nephew and niece have sent a letter."

"Oh? Is it Tian Hao and Tianyao?" Ye Yi looked happy, took the letter, and eagerly flipped through it, then laughed heartily.

"Good boy! Good girl! They actually defeated a Peak Rank 1 Golden-Eyed Thunder Tiger. They've really brought honor to our Ye Family!"

Ye Jing stood with his hands behind his back, smiling. His tone was calm but held a hint of praise: "These two children's Heart-Nature is decent. As expected, they still need to go out and gain experience!"

Speaking of which, Ye Jing didn't forget to say, "Yier, since they sent back the blood and bone of a Rank 1 Spirit Beast, I will help you ascend Xiao Yu now, so you can also Cultivate!"

"Really?" Ye Yi was overjoyed to hear this.

Ye Jing nodded with a smile and said, "No time to lose, let's head to Lingyun Valley first."

Lingyun Valley was the Spiritual Vein Ye Jing had taken over. Now, Ye Jing used that valley filled with spiritual energy to Cultivate and nurture Spiritual Plants.

Even the remaining ruins of the Chen Family's buildings had been cleared away by Ye Jing. Fearing that the Xuanyou Sect people might return, Ye Jing wanted to wait until the Family produced a Foundation Establishment Cultivator before hiring Cultivators from Tiangong Market who specialized in construction to rebuild the manor.

The two of them immediately flew on swords from the back mountain toward Lingyun Valley.

Two figures streaked across the sky above the back mountain, the wind whistling in their ears. In less than half an incense stick's time, Ye Jing and Ye Yi landed steadily at the entrance of Lingyun Valley.

Compared to six months ago, Lingyun Valley now seemed even more tranquil. The spring water at the bottom of the valley flowed gurglingly, and the mist carried dense Spiritual Qi. Lush vegetation grew throughout the valley.

Green leaves and vibrant flowers spread out in layers. The air was filled with the fragrance of plants interwoven with spiritual power.

The sturdy Hei Feng came running all the way through the valley, rubbing affectionately against Ye Jing. It was still just an ordinary black dog in appearance, but the spiritual power swirling around it showed it was already a Middle Stage Rank 1 Yao Beast dog.

Even the Poisonous Variant Bee nesting deep in the valley's cave flew out, circling around Ye Jing.

It was now at the Middle Stage Rank 1 Realm, and its descendants were not weak either.

"Alright, alright, you two guard this place well. I have important business!" Ye Jing patted the two clingy Yao Beasts, feeling somewhat helpless.

He had set up a Qi-Concealing Stealth Array in this valley and left Hei Feng and the Poisonous Variant Bee to guard it; for now, no one dared to approach.

In the center of the valley, the ruins of the Chen Family had been completely erased, leaving only a flat area of bluestone slabs. The edges were surrounded by bluestones containing faint spiritual power, and several simple Spirit Gathering Formation Runes were carved into the ground.

Although not complex, they could slightly gather the scattered spiritual power in the valley.

Ye Jing waved his hand, and a jade box flew out from his sleeve. The lid opened automatically, revealing a large piece of beast bone. The bone surface shimmered with faint thunder light, and spiritual power faintly circulated within it.

The beast blood was stored in a glass bottle. The blood was thick, with fine golden light floating on the surface—the unique spiritual power fluctuation of a Peak Rank 1 Yao Beast.

Seeing the beast bone, Hei Feng and the Poisonous Variant Bee were shocked and became wary.

"Is this the Thunder Tiger Tian Hao and the others mentioned in the letter?" Ye Yi was also extremely shocked. Just a single bone could make him feel a strong sense of pressure.

"Yes, this Thunder Tiger reached the Peak Rank 1. Its power is comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and its Divine Ability is significant. Even a single bone possesses such might."

Ye Jing's eyes were also opened. From this, it was clear that Lu Shaoyou of the Qingyun Sect was truly generous. Such powerful Yao Beast blood and bone, enough to refine High Grade Spiritual Artifacts or spiritual materials, were just given to Ye Tianhao and the others.

This showed that his two grandchildren would benefit greatly from joining the Qingyun Sect.

"Hei Feng, Poisonous Variant Bee, go patrol the perimeter of Lingyun Valley. Do not allow any Cultivators or other Yao Beasts to approach!" Ye Jing ordered.

The two Yao Beasts received the command and quickly ran toward the surroundings of the valley.

Seeing this, Ye Jing said, "Yier, call out Xiao Yu!"

Ye Yi nodded and immediately blew a whistle. From the valley, a snowy white shadow suddenly darted out. After landing, its body stretched out—it was a White Eagle as tall as two people, its feathers as pure as moonlight, with the tips of its wings tinged with faint gold.

Its sharp eagle eyes were full of affection as it rubbed against Ye Yi, then bowed and chirped at Ye Jing with a hint of reverence.

This was Xiao Yu. Currently, its body shimmered with spiritual light, but it had been unable to advance for a long time due to hitting a Bottleneck.

At this moment, it had already caught the scent of the Golden-Eyed Thunder Tiger's bone and blood. Its eyes instantly lit up, and its wings trembled slightly, but it did not dare to step forward without permission, staying obediently by Ye Yi's side.

"This Golden-Eyed Thunder Tiger was a Peak Rank 1 Yao Beast with a Thunder Attribute, which matches Xiao Yu's attribute perfectly. Its power is extraordinary; I believe Xiao Yu's strength will reach a new level."

Ye Jing thought to himself.

He looked at Ye Yi and said, "Yier, I will now begin to ascend your Yao Beast. Pay attention to regulating your breathing!"

Since it was a life-bound Yao Beast, a portion of the beast's advancement would be reflected back to the owner, equivalent to progressing together. Although not very dangerous, there was still some risk.

Especially since this was the bone of a tiger that had almost reached Rank 2; one could say it was many Realms higher.

Hearing Ye Jing say this, Ye Yi nodded heavily and sat cross-legged, preparing to regulate his breathing.

Seeing this, Ye Jing used his spiritual power to control the beast bone and blood, then immediately used his Immortal Willow ability to check.

"Snow Eagle Essence Spirit, Thunder Attribute. Using Peak Rank 1 Golden-Eyed Thunder Tiger bone and blood, can be ascended by consuming 150 points of Immortal Light!"

At this moment, Ye Jing didn't care about the cost and immediately clicked agree. Several white halos once again surged from around him, flowing together toward Xiao Yu and the beast bone.

As Ye Yi regulated his breathing, he felt his father in front of him radiating a powerful yet gentle spiritual power. That power spread out like melting snow in spring, wrapping around the sharp aura of the Golden-Eyed Thunder Tiger's bone and blood, surging into Xiao Yu together.

Xiao Yu tilted its head back and let out a crisp cry. Its snowy white feathers instantly stood on end, each strand of down tinged with a faint silver-blue thunder light.

Even the faint golden patterns on its body suddenly lit up, spreading across its entire wings like a prairie fire.
