Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 256: Chapter 251: Grand Opening and Frenzied Buying (2-in-1)

After all, there are quite a few spirit beasts in Taichang Market, and Ye Jingcheng’s Five Poison Bees are not considered special, as long as they do not commit any crimes in the market.

With the surveillance of the Five Poison Bees, if Chen Ya made any move, Ye Jingcheng could just intercept her outside the market.

Of course, he believed that the other party wouldn’t be so foolish.

This time, Ye Family and she both had a mutual win.

Once the night passed, Ye Jingcheng’s two Five Poison Bees went to Chen Ya’s room to ensure no accidents occurred before keeping watch overnight, returning the next morning.

And on this day, the Ye Family opened its doors.

The crimson Spiritual Radiance was as dazzling as ever.

Ye Jingcheng and friends stood at the shop’s entrance, including members of the Chu Family who were curious about how Ye Family would promote their business.

While shouting could work, it would be beneath them.

Other methods wouldn’t fare much better than shouting.

Moreover, as a store from the Purple Mansion Clan, they couldn’t release Spiritual Radiance; they could only put up decorations, hang lanterns, and add red couplets.

Once everything was set, Ye Xingyi released two Mountain-devouring Rats, which began to playfully fight, round and round.

Combat is not allowed in the market, so the scene naturally attracted many cultivators over.

The next moment, they realized it was two Mountain-devouring Rats fighting over the Spirit Nourishing Pills.

However, the Spirit Nourishing Pills were so small they thought the two Mountain-devouring Rats were simply battling, even attracting the attention of market enforcers.

Upon seeing the Mountain-devouring Rats fighting over food and not posing any danger, the Divine Sense quickly retreated.

But the cultivators stayed.

After all, Mountain-devouring Rats are rare due to their weak combat ability, but their meat is delicious, and they eat anything, making them well-known in the Cultivation Realm.

After battling for a while, Ye Jingcheng had the two Mountain-devouring Rats eat various things.

Just now, in the instant when the Divine Sense covered him, it was all directed at Ye Jingcheng, making him feel suffocated.

Although he wasn’t technically fighting, he was being opportunistic; it’s better to make some changes.

The two Mountain-devouring Rats devoured Spirit Stones, Spiritual Bamboo, Spirit Wood, and even Spirit Vine.

With the sound of crunching, they attracted many people over, inevitably drawing attention to the Ye Family’s shop.

Though loose cultivators would be extremely cautious outside and ignore commotion, things were different in Taichang Market, where many cultivators had gotten used to its safety and would come up during exciting events.

After seeing the Ye Family’s pill shop opening, they also entered.

Although the Ye Family’s reputation isn’t huge, it’s not insignificant either, especially since their promotion to the Purple Mansion Clan, Ye Haicheng’s breakthrough, made many families and cultivators in Taichang Market familiar with the Ye Family.

Loose cultivators, already aware of the Chu Family’s involvement, quickly entered the shop.

Leaving Ye Jinhao to watch the two Mountain-devouring Rats, the others began selling spirit pills inside the shop.

Ye Jingcheng personally stationed on the second floor, selling Tier Two Spirit Pills.

Just a few Foundation Establishment cultivators came, casually looked around, and inquired about the Jade Soul Pill before leaving.

Ye Jingcheng understood these were merely spectators; those truly interested in buying the Jade Soul Pill would wait for the Ye Family’s pill reputation to spread.

The Tier One Spirit Pills on the first floor were selling well, keeping Ye Jingyu, Ye Xingyi, and Ye Jingyun busy.

…

At a West City Street Market stand.

The other vendors focused intensely on their jade talismans, treating their stalls with utmost seriousness.

One stall had an old man sipping Spirit Tea with two pill bottles casually placed beside him.

He didn’t seem like a vendor.

After all, no vendor would only sit there drinking tea and displaying merely two bottles.

A young cultivator couldn’t bear it:

“Old sir, what are you selling? Just drinking tea here, what Spirit Tea is it that smells so fragrant?”

“I’m obviously selling pills, young man, such a lack of discernment, does my tea-drinking bother you?” The old man retorted instantly, his beard bristling.

This argument drew the attention of many loose cultivators; though they didn’t approach, their cultivator ear power was remarkable.

Even without getting close, within a hundred-zhang range, they could hear mosquitoes’ legs moving clearly.

“Though it doesn’t bother me, your Spirit Tea smells so fragrant, could it be for sale?” The young cultivator’s face flushed from embarrassment at the retort.

“Of course it’s for sale, but only while selling spirit pills; buy a pill, and I’ll give you some leaves!”

“If you buy a bottle, I’ll give you two liang directly!” The old man seemed exceedingly generous.

People heard this and gained interest in the spirit pills.

Seeing the spirit pills up close, they discovered that the pills were Qi Replenishing Pills and Red Ganoderma Pills, which were Tier One High-Grade Spirit Pills.

They looked at the old man differently.

A mid-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator, holding two bottles of Tier One High-Grade spirit pills, and leisurely setting up a stall while drinking tea.

This has a great deal of allure.

“What’s the price for your spirit pills, and is it genuine?”

“Qi Replenishing Pills are one hundred and ten spirit stones, Red Ganoderma Pills are one hundred and seventy spirit stones each, no bargaining. These are spirit pills from major families, each has a Spirit Fragrance; if I didn’t have good connections, I wouldn’t even be able to buy them.”

This statement heightened others’ interest.

A female cultivator promptly stepped forward, tossed a sack of spirit stones, and grabbed one pill from a bottle.

The moment the spirit pill was taken out, the rich pill fragrance instantly wafted to everyone’s ears.

“Old man, I gave five more spirit stones, where did you buy this?” The female cultivator inspected the pill and gave five more stones.

The old man shook his head repeatedly, putting down the Spirit Tea leaves he took out.

As if unwilling, but the female cultivator spoke again.

“I ask you to drink more Spirit Tea; this relates to my business!” The old man shook his head, pouring Spirit Tea for the female cultivator and another sip for her.

She drank a sip of Spirit Tea, slowly walked away, disappearing at the street corner.

This scene puzzled the onlookers.

They understood the two must have communicated through Transmission.

Leaving five more spirit stones behind, no one believed simply drinking tea conveyed any information.

Even though this Spirit Tea smelled exceptionally fragrant, its Spiritual Energy power was sparse.

But once the first buyer acted, the young cultivator took out spirit stones and began purchasing.

Buying a Qi Replenishing Pill and similarly adding five more spirit stones, he sipped the Spirit Tea and soon left the street corner.

Some cultivators followed the young cultivator, disappearing after him, while others turned their attention towards the spirit pills, starting their purchases, exchanging spirit stones.

Upon paying more stones and learning the Ye Family’s Qi Replenishing Pills could sell for ninety-one spirit stones each, they thanked and rushed toward Ye Family.

Subsequently, pressing the old man not to reveal this, they sought a taste of Spirit Tea across.

Soon, ten spirit pills sold out.

They thought the old man would get up, fetch more spirit pills, but instead poured ten cups of Spirit Tea.

“Thank you, fellow cultivators, for observing; a cup of Spirit Tea as a token, please don’t mind, this old man is just a businessman.” He promptly disappeared around the street corner.

Leaving ten cups of tea, picked up and sipped by ten people.

“What kind of tea is this?”

“Why haven’t I tasted it before, it’s so refreshing; this is the Spirit Tea we cultivators should drink!”

“You just can’t afford other Spirit Tea!” someone exclaimed, prompting others to disdainfully reply.

This Spirit Tea, although cheap, was still Spirit Tea; for them, having Spiritual Food even once every few days was a luxury.

Let alone drinking Spirit Tea daily.

“Follow that old man; I know him, he used to be a guide!” At this, someone spoke up.

Upon hearing this, many rushed to pursue the old man.

They chased him to South City’s alleys.

Seeing many cultivators gathered around Chu Ye Pavilion, two Mountain-devouring Rats performing stone-eating.

“Isn’t this the Ye Family?” someone noted.

“They’ve opened, maybe this is Ye Family’s opening promotion, no wonder that old man sold his spirit pills for five spirit stones, today’s earnings are doubled; tomorrow, I’ll set up a stall too!” someone commented.

Entering Chu Ye Pavilion and discovering special offers on Qi Replenishing Pills and Red Ganoderma Pills, everyone started competing to buy.

The hundreds of Red Ganoderma Pills and Qi Replenishing Pills prepared by Ye Family sold out quickly.
