In the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven, at the wasteland location.

Crimson flames started to intertwine in the air, and soon a Spirit Net appeared around Ye Jingcheng.

Fire attribute arrays restrain Thunder attribute fairly well, since the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect has not yet been bound by a Blood Contract, Ye Jingcheng still needs to be slightly cautious.

Although the Tier Two Thunder Rhinoceros Insect had been slain, the Thunder Net gathered by a Tier One Top-Grade Thunder Rhinoceros Insect was also formidable. Even though he was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, his physique wasn't particularly strong.

It's always better to be cautious than careless.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng within the array, extremely serious, both the Red Flame Fox and the Golden Scale Beast curiously observed.

Continuously pacing at the two sides of the array.

However, at this moment, Ye Jingcheng had no time to entertain them, as he took out a Jade Box.

This Jade Box was specially crafted, containing none other than the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect.

This Thunder Rhinoceros Insect was only the size of a thumb, still some distance from the size of an infant's fist, but it was undoubtedly a Thunder Rhinoceros Insect, exuding the aura of a Tier One Peak Demon Beast.

Far more formidable than the similarly sized Five Poison Bee.

And the next moment, unexpectedly, upon seeing its appearance, the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect lifted its blue Thunder Horn.

A Thunder Net instantly surged through the entire Jade Box.

But evidently, this Jade Box was a relatively special carrying artifact, not shocking Ye Jingcheng, whose gaze at the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect was even more expectant.

He continued to provoke the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect outside the Jade Box, pinching out a Qi Technique with his fingers, and casting it into the Jade Box continuously.

Flicking it onto the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect's nose.

The latter immediately flew wildly from the pain, its enormous Thunder Horn once again releasing a Thunder Net.

Continuing in this way for ten times, no matter how Ye Jingcheng provoked, the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect no longer lifted its horn.

Even when it did, the released Thunder Net had already become as faint as water, no longer possessing its previous might.

Only then did Ye Jingcheng lift a corner of the Jade Box, but just as he lifted it, the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect suddenly lifted its horn fiercely. Unfortunately, Ye Jingcheng pressed down the Jade Box once more, and the Thunder Net surged within it.

Merely engulfing the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect without being able to attack Ye Jingcheng.

"If I were to be fooled by such a minor Thunder Insect, then my Ye Family's Beast Taming legacy would be too poor." Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile.

He had long seen through the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect's feigned weakness and retention.

Evidently possessing not low Spiritual Wisdom, this was clear when they attacked from within the Secret Realm.

Now that its Thunder Spiritual Power was expended, Ye Jingcheng finally opened the Jade Box, directly dropping Essence Blood with a Blood Contract.

Ye Jingcheng's Blood Contract Essence Blood was accompanied by the Treasure Book within him, which would automatically become a Soul Contract, leaving the weakened Thunder Rhinoceros Insect unable to resist.

It was quickly bound by Ye Jingcheng through a contract.

Feeling the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect being soul contracted, Ye Jingcheng let the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect enter the array, allowing it to fly freely.

As for Spiritual Food, he would not provide it to them at this time.

Spirit Beasts tamed in the later stages need to be tempered, even though Spiritual Insects require a shorter period, this is not the time to feed them directly.

After contracting one, Ye Jingcheng, with little effort, proceeded to contract a second in the same way.

After contracting twenty, he finally let out a breath, feeling a weight lifted, and took a Spirit Pill, placing it in his mouth.

He did not intend to contract them all, leaving four for the family. Whether the family would later leave them for Ye Jing Hu, some old ancestors of the Ye Family, or use these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects for breeding, Ye Jingcheng didn't care.

Of course, even so, it took him a whole day.

Seeing twenty Thunder Rhinoceros Insects flying in the air, with their ferocious Thunder Horns, Ye Jingcheng wiped sweat from his forehead, feeling somewhat gratified.

At the same time, a sense of weakness also spread throughout his body.

Those twenty drops of Essence Blood were quite a burden for a cultivator, even though he took Spirit Pills to replenish his qi and blood, it was still somewhat burdensome.

However, because the Blood Contract transformed into a Soul Contract through his Treasure Book, his Divine Soul did not feel too overloaded.

This was unlike what was recorded in some ancient literature of the Ye Family.

For this reason, the Ye Family mostly used master Blood Contracts accompanied by auxiliary Blood Contracts for contracting Spirit Insects.

Ye Jingcheng's Thunder Rhinoceros Insect, having no Insect King in existence now, and being contracted postnatal, inevitably could not be contracted in a master and auxiliary Blood Contract fashion.

Without the influence of the Divine Soul, Ye Jingcheng also breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he needed to split his soul, and cultivate the Divine-Breaking Needle Secret Technique.

If his Divine Sense was too burdened, it would similarly affect him.

After handling all the Spirit Beasts, Ye Jingcheng also exited the Grotto Heaven.

He brought along the Red Flame Fox, intending to prepare for the refining of various spirit pills.

Not mentioning other elixirs, the Jade Soul Pill, most popular at the Ye Family shop, he needed to refine some, and additionally, there were the Tier Two Spirit Pills for four kinds of Spirit Beasts that also needed refining.

The Red Flame Fox called out, seeming quite satisfied with Ye Jingcheng taking it out, constantly spitting flames to indicate it could refine pills at any time.

The ensuing time became tranquil, the Ye Family didn't send anyone, and the Taiyi Sect seemingly stopped minding the Ye Family, only Chu Yanqing from next door periodically sending transmissions.

Stating she wanted to commission some spirit pills, but Ye Jingcheng refused, claiming he was in seclusion.

In this way, a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Buzz!

As the crimson Pill Furnace vibrated, the lid flew off, revealing eight Jade Soul Pills inside.

All eight exuded Spirit Fragrance, and one of them had pill patterns spread across it, fully vibrant.

Ye Jingcheng immediately smiled warmly.

"My alchemy skills are stabilizing at Tier Two Upper Grade, even refining Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Pills now seems quite hopeful."

Ye Jingcheng stored each pill in a Jade Bottle, then took out two Spirit Nourishing Pills to feed the Red Flame Fox, before beginning to clean and polish the Pill Furnace.

"Next is to refine the Golden Scale Pill and the Three-Colored Pill!" Ye Jingcheng's eyes lit up, feeling somewhat sentimental.

Just returning from the Secret Realm, he feared his alchemic skills had become rusty, and the Golden Scale Pill and the Three-Colored Pill were not to be taken lightly.

Thus, this month, he'd been refining Spiritual Pills to enhance cultivation, Blood Burst Pill and Jade Soul Pill.

Just then, a Spirit Talisman swept through, and Ye Jingcheng, seeing this, stored the Pill Furnace, and with a Dust Cleaning Skill swept the room.

He then exited his room, proceeding to the second floor of the Ye Family's Chu Ye Pavilion, the place selling spiritual pills, where a Spirit-Blocking Robe cultivator, had come today to commission pills.

Ye Xingliu was respectfully pouring Spirit Tea at the side.

"Fellow Daoist, you wish to commission spirit pills?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"Indeed." From just hearing the voice, Ye Jingcheng identified it as an unfamiliar voice and asked again:

"May I know what sort of spirit pills you wish to commission?"

"Refine high-tier mysterious elixirs, if you can't refine them, then I'll leave."

"I can!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly smiled.

This high-tier mysterious elixir was a code left by Ye Haicheng for him.

The elder then extended a hand, holding a Jade Talisman, but Ye Jingcheng didn't look at it, instead noticing the arm as it passed by, a Beast Communication Pattern flashed quickly across.

The Beast Communication Pattern measured two sections of three inches, with two sections of one inch, just a hairbreadth from a Five-Inch Beast Pattern.

The Beast Communication Pattern appeared swiftly and disappeared just as fast; if not for standing behind Ye Jingcheng, it would be impossible to notice.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded, accepting the Jade Talisman.

"I've prepared the materials." The Spirit-Blocking Robe elder continued, producing a Spirit Beast Bag.

"Inside it contains living demon beasts, so you can extract Essence Blood at will."

Taking a glance, Ye Jingcheng swiftly accepted the Spirit Beast Bag, hanging it at his waist.

"I'll return a Spirit Beast Bag to you, as the Ye Family doesn't take advantage!" Ye Jingcheng passed a Spirit Beast Bag from his waist back to the elder.
