(TR:if there are any mistakes please point out)

  The fair and bright fire room saw a sudden surge in the fmes.

  In the next moment, a plume of bck smoke billowed from the Pill Furnace in front of Ye Jingcheng.

  A faint stench began to permeate the air, still unpleasant even amidst the scorching heat.

  The temperature was too high, and the pill refinement had failed!

  And it was still the Spirit Feeding Pill that he was most familiar with.

  However, Ye Jingcheng did not look gloomy; instead, his eyes sparkled with anticipation.

  Because within him, at this moment, an ancient and simple book had its first page completely illuminated and formed.

  Ye Jingcheng was a transmigrator who had been in the Ye Family for over ten years. From being initially helpless to becoming a highly regarded immortal master in the Ye Family, he then learned that he only possessed Four Spiritual Roots, making his cultivation speed extremely slow.

  The hardships he faced were even more tumultuous than the ups and downs of his previous life.

  This world belonged to cultivators, with powerful cultivators capable of summoning wind and rain, omnipotent, and if they cultivated to the end, they could even live as long as the heavens! His only reliance and greatest secret was a yellowed ancient book inid with unknown spiritual patterns within him.

  Just now, the ancient book had emitted light, releasing spiritual radiance that attracted all his attention, causing him to make a mistake in the pill refinement he was so familiar with.

  Half a day's effort was ruined.

  The ancient book was covered with faint spiritual patterns, resembling some strange and bizarre beasts, and each page was different.

  It was very detailed, and he had tested the spiritual light on the spiritual book, finding it extremely helpful for healing and growing some domestic animals. He had even tried to save dying birds.

  However, it consumed a lot of spiritual light.

  Fortunately, it could slowly recover, but it had never fully recovered. Today was the first time it had emitted such radiant light.

  It was just a pity that although Ye Jingcheng was in a Beast Taming Family, he had not yet had the opportunity to obtain a truly promising demonic beast cub.

  Ye Jingcheng pondered for a long time, but as the sound of bells rang out,

  Ye Jingcheng made a spiritual hand seal, and the Object Manipution Technique nded. He skillfully removed the Pill Furnace and took out Cold Silkworm Cloth, carefully wrapping the scorching rge furnace ears.

  Only then did he pour the remaining pill liquid from the Pill Furnace into a wooden box he had prepared.

  After storing it in a Storage Bag, he used a special furnace brush to clean the furnace walls inside the Pill Furnace thoroughly.

  Only after he could no longer see any fws with the naked eye,

  Ye Jingcheng stroked the still somewhat hot furnace ears and sighed.

  "I wonder when I will be able to own my own Pill Furnace!"

  This Pill Furnace belonged to the Ye Family. As a member of the Ye Family, he could borrow it, but each time he borrowed it, he had to sell the refined spiritual pills to the Ye Family at 50% of the normal price.

  But if he had his own Pill Furnace, he could sell them to the family at 80% of the normal price.

  The sound of bells rang out again.

  "Coming!" Ye Jingcheng responded, and hurriedly swept the area with a broom that was specially for that purpose.

  He looked around, and after confirming that the pill refining room was the same as before, he stepped out of the room.

  The hall outside was extremely spacious, and because of the immortal cultivation formation, it was not hot, completely different from the world inside.

  An old man wearing a gray and white Daoist robe was using his hand to knock on the bell outside his alchemy room.

  Behind the old man, there were also three or four Ye Family cnsmen dressed in the same way as him.

  Those few people had obviously been waiting for a long time, their faces appearing somewhat gloomy as if they had been baked for too long.

  Ye Jingcheng smiled wryly. He knew that Ninth Grandpa Ye Haitian, who guarded the Pill Pavilion, had once again privately added time for him.

  The old man walked to the table in the hall, took out a pen and ink, and began to record one by one:

  "Alright, come over quickly, count the harvest, the next batch is about to come in!"

  "Jing Yun, refined thirty Spirit Feeding Pills, using the family's pill furnace, each discounted for 1 contribution point, a total of 30 contribution points, the rent for three days is 6 contribution points, leaving 24 contribution points!"

  Soon, the counting reached Ye Jingcheng.

  He also took out five palm-sized pill bottles and pced them in front of the old man as usual.

  Each pill bottle was very full and exuded a faint fragrance of pills.

  The old man raised his head, without praise, but instead gnced at Ye Jingcheng in surprise: "Want to buy a spirit beast?"I

  n the past, Ye Jingcheng had enough time to refine seven furnaces in three days. The Spirit Feeding Pill was a rge-scale pill like the Grain Avoidance Pill. One furnace had at least ten pills or more, and some even had fifteen or sixteen.

  Therefore, in his opinion, Ye Jingcheng had kept some for himself.

  The Ye Family was a family of beast tamers. Compared to other families that only looked at spiritual roots, the Ye Family also valued the quality of spirit beasts.

  It could even be said that if the spirit beast was well nurtured, the Ye Family would focus on cultivating you even if you had Five Spiritual Roots.

  "Ninth Grandpa, you are indeed like a divine prophet!" Ye Jingcheng scratched his head, nodded and smiled, revealing a rare honesty.

  "Let me calcute your contribution points!" Ye Haitian took Ye Jingcheng's family token, and then began to say in a routine manner: "Jingcheng, refined fifty Spirit Feeding Pills, using the family's pill furnace, each discounted for 1 contribution point, a total of 50 contribution points, in addition, the Spirit Feeding Pills have a pill fragrance, an extra reward of 30 contribution points, three days rent is 6 contribution points, leaving 74 contribution points!"

  Ye Haitian said slightly.

  Ye Jingcheng looked shocked. Although the Spirit Feeding Pill with pill fragrance was better, it was definitely not enough to have a reward.

  The Ye Family also did not have this rule. This was Ye Haitian privately subsidizing him.

  "Ninth Grandpa..."

  "Jingcheng, you must remember that in the world of cultivation, absolute fairness is unfair, and the Ye Family is the same!" Ye Haitian did not expin much, but just let Ye Jingcheng go down.

  He continued to sort out the scrolls recording contribution points.

  Ye Jingcheng also held the family token and bowed deeply.

  The exchange ratio of Ye Family contribution points was one to one Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

  But in fact, contribution points were more precious than Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

  Some treasures of the family, some spirit beast cubs, must be exchanged with contribution points.

  Although the Ye Family was not considered a rge family, among the Foundation Establishment families, it could only be considered a small well-known family, but in terms of spirit beasts, the entire Mount Taihang could be ranked.

  Ye Jingcheng was a Four Spiritual Roots, cking only metal among metal, wood, water, and fire. He went up the mountain at the age of eleven, and now he was twenty-one years old, at the fourth level of Qi Refining. This was the result of his hard work and diligence, and he knew the value of cultivation more than his peers! But even so, he was far behind other three spiritual roots cultivators of the same age.

  Therefore, he had diligently practiced alchemy for these three years, accumuting contribution points, all to exchange for a good spirit beast.

  Now, his Ye Family token happened to have exactly four hundred contribution points.

  But don't think four hundred is a small amount. You must know that the annual sary of a Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator in the Ye Family is only five Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Even if he is an alchemist, he will only receive two extra each year.

  To have four hundred while still cultivating is because he has a small talent in alchemy.

  Moreover, he can't use all of them to exchange for spirit beast cubs. His own cultivation requires contribution points, the purchase of medicinal materials requires contribution points, and the future food for the spirit beast cubs requires contribution points...

  His only hope is that the Jade Book in his body has more than just a healing effect on spirit beast cubs! Ye Jingcheng had another headache.

  As he strolled along, Ye Jingcheng soon arrived at the family's Demon Hunting Hall.
