The azure sky was incredibly clear, with clusters of white clouds floating, creating a stunning scroll within the Grotto Heaven.

In the next instant, following the appearance of a Spiritual Light, a massive stone abruptly emerged. The surface of this stone was covered with brilliant golden light, and upon closer inspection, it resembled a layer of golden Armor.

Then, with a thunderous crash, the stone swiftly descended. Simultaneously, a sharp Earth Spike rose from the ground, glittering with gold light, just as rapidly.

Upon collision, countless brilliant golden stars were released, accompanied by a tremendous roaring sound.

Yet, both the Earth Spike and the falling stone were completely unscathed.

To other cultivators, this sight would certainly be baffling, as it clearly involved two Earth Attribute magics.

In the barren wasteland, Ye Jingcheng let out a long sigh of relief. Naturally, these two spells were released by him, a secret technique he refined while following the Golden Scale Beast.

Beside Ye Jingcheng, the Golden Scale Beast roared excitedly, as if saying, just like that, just like that.

To be able to teach Ye Jingcheng, the Golden Scale Beast was immensely proud.

"Indeed, not bad!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, his hand unconsciously brushing over the Golden Scale Beast.

The scales on the beast's forehead became increasingly distinct and sturdy, so much so that even when Ye Jingcheng touched them, he could feel a mountain-like strength.

Both the Golden Light Cloud Fall Star Rock and Golden Light Earth Spike Technique were developed by the Golden Scale Beast. Ye Jingcheng, sharing a spiritual connection with it, naturally had an advantage in learning these spells, and their power was indeed massive. If paired with the Talisman Treasure Profound Cold Seal, the effect would be even better.

Of course, even so, his Golden Light Earth Spike Technique could only cover a shallow layer, and only by employing the Golden Scale Beast's Spiritual Power could he achieve such results.

After praising it, Ye Jingcheng also gave the Golden Scale Beast an Earth Return Pill, and upon seeing yet another Earth Return Pill, the latter was somewhat deflated.

It made a grunting sound resembling a roar, indistinguishable without careful listening.

Evidently, the Golden Scale Beast was disappointed it wasn't a Bloodline Advancement Pill.

"Eat quickly, the Four-Colored Cloud Deer is already in the breakthrough state, don't let yourself be the only one still at mid-stage Second Tier." Ye Jingcheng spoke irritably.

Currently, it's been almost a year since he gave spirit fruits to Ye Xingqun and Ye Xinghan.

During this period, he only visited Taihang Market once, confirmed the family's market profits, and established alliances with the Yuan Family and Wei Family, before returning to the Ye Family.

And within the market, rumors spread that Ye Jingcheng was crazy because the Ye Family allowed Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer to breakthrough Foundation Establishment without restrictions, which was seen as abandoning essentials in favor of trivialities, a sign of their doom.

A century of foundations wasted.

A Foundation Establishment Clan without sufficient Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer is like binding its own hands and feet.

In family industries and Clan Mountain defenses, it risks falling behind others.

Possibly, many Tribulation Cultivators will target the Ye Family because with fewer Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer members, the Ye Family can't send out Foundation Establishment Cultivators for every Clan Mountain or transaction.

Thus, it provides opportunities for those Tribulation Cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng naturally disregarded such comments. Besides, the Ye Family Hidden Peak sent over two Foundation Establishment Pills, refined by Ye Xuefu.

Ye Jingcheng gave them to Ye Jing Yun and Ye Xinghan, while Ye Xingqun was already using Earth Flame Fiend to start Foundation Establishment, although with no results yet.

However, Ye Jingcheng estimated it would be soon, as both Ye Xinghan and Ye Xingqun were on the verge of a breakthrough, each possessing new Spirit Beasts.

Throughout the year, he successively refined Earth Return Pill, Wood Scenery Pill, Golden Quenching Pill, Meat Ganoderma Pill, and Earth Turning Pill.

The emergence of Earth Turning Pill held particular significance to Ye Jingcheng, as both Golden Scale Beast and Earthworm belonged to Earth Attribute Spirit Beasts, with the former's bloodline evidently stronger, while the latter's bloodline was considerably weaker.

Ye Jingcheng discovered that most Tier One Earth Rank Pills are improved by using the Earthworm's Earth Turning Pill, offering safer effectiveness.

Of course, this comes at the cost of reduced possibilities for the Ye Family's spirit beasts to awaken their bloodlines.

Ye Jingcheng was momentarily uncertain which was better, leading the family to circulate two types of Earth Rank Pills to ensure all levels of the Ye Family's spirit beasts had options.

After the Golden Scale Beast consumed the Earth Return Pill, it continued to roar eagerly, showing signs of imminent breakthrough.

Ye Jingcheng also beamed with delight.

With this, all his spirit beasts were in breakthrough stages.

Ye Jingcheng immediately took out a Pill Patterned Earth Returning Pill, along with several pieces of Spirit Beast Meat from Golden Armor Beast, and provided the Golden Scale Beast with a substantial amount of Treasure Light.

Meanwhile, it ate and breathed simultaneously, almost as if panting and eating at once.

This comical yet resilient appearance.

The earnest gaze moved Ye Jingcheng.

"You could develop the Breathing Technique after breaking through; no beast is faster than you now!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

It understood the Golden Scale Beast was vying to advance first.

But for Ye Jingcheng, gathering the materials for the Golden Scale Beast's Tier Three Advancement Pill still required time.

Moreover, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was slightly quicker, having already assembled the essence blood of Silver Moon Python and Silver Moon Flood Dragon.

Comparatively, only the spirit medicine was needed.

Plus, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon had the Dragon Beard Fruit Tree.

However, Ye Jingcheng promised the Golden Scale Beast that as long as it succeeded, he would exhaust every effort to ensure the Golden Scale Beast was first to advance.

On this note, Ye Jingcheng would never deceive the beast.
