Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 301: Chapter 293: Amber Crystal, Reverse Marking (Two-in-One)

But Ye Jingcheng’s three Spiritual Peaches are enough to extend life by five years.

However, don’t think that these five years are insignificant.

If these five years are around the Jiazi period, it is indeed a major matter concerning Foundation Establishment.

After all, consuming a Longevity Elixir is equivalent to pushing the vitality forward.

That Wan Family cultivator also glanced at Ye Jingcheng with a peculiar look, but didn’t continue to speak.

Not sure if there are no more Foundation Establishment Pills or Life Extension Treasures available.

“I’ll exchange for a Longevity Spiritual Peach. Wan Daoist, apologies, my son is already fifty-eight and hasn’t reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, and in my Yuan Family, there’s only me at Foundation Establishment. If something happens, my son will have another chance!” The elder spoke somewhat humbly.

If it were a complete Foundation Establishment Pill, he would naturally choose the former.

But since it’s not, he naturally chose the Longevity Treasure.

This is the sorrow of small clans, forced to participate when summoned by the sect and yet fearing losing the backbone of their family, ultimately becoming just a Qi Cultivation Clan.

Such situations are too common, and it’s not just Foundation Establishment Clans that worry about this; Purple Mansion Clans and Golden Core Clans do as well.

It’s just that compared to the apparent expedition, the secret Tier Two Realm is more dangerous, mysterious, and frightening.

With the successful trade, Ye Jingcheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, his Five Poison Bees would not be of much use to him unless they evolve; they could only serve as detectors.

But if the Amber Crystal is used well, it would be different, plus he could use the Treasure Book to first select those with talent.

This way, it would be more foolproof.

That’s why he was so excited.

He had an advantage over the Wan Family.

Having traded for the treasure, Ye Jingcheng was more at ease, sitting back in his spot, not particularly concerned if he could trade for more treasures next.

The harvest from this trip was considerable.

And as expected, the subsequent trades mostly involved exchanging for Defensive Spiritual Artifacts. Even Ye Jingcheng’s own Defensive Spiritual Artifacts were insufficient, so he naturally wouldn’t take them out to exchange.

Even the Tier Two Middle-grade Black Shield was his backup Magical Artifact.

Soon, it was the Chu Family’s turn, and Chu Yanqing gracefully stood up.

In front of her appeared three Magical Artifacts.

This scene caught the attention of many cultivators, as it was rare for someone to produce three Magical Artifacts in a treasure exchange among cultivators.

Moreover, these three Magical Artifacts were all Defensive ones: a shield, armor, and a tower.

Although all three were Mid-grade Defensive Spiritual Artifacts, they still drew a lot of attention.

Ye Jingcheng watched intently. He might not buy those artifacts, but observing them might prove advantageous should they meet in the Secret Realm.

Chu Yanqing was exchanging for Spirit Pills that enhance cultivation, and after the trade, she gave Ye Jingcheng a meaningful glance, seemingly indicating that she was nearing the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t respond, merely shaking his head.

Had he known earlier, during the Ye Family’s marriage alliance meeting back then, he wouldn’t have said a word.

After Chu Yanqing finished, it was Chu Yanhao and the others’ turn, and the Chu family was also presenting artifacts for exchange, a sight that was even more astonishing.

After all, refining Magical Artifacts is different from Spirit Pills. A Tier Two Artifact might take half a month to several months to refine, and one might only manage to refine three or four in a year, not accounting for failures.

The Chu family being able to produce so many artifacts must mean they have a good number of Tier Two Artifact Refiners.

This also considerably boosted the Chu Family’s reputation.

When it was Ye Jingcheng’s turn to trade for treasures, he took out two Jade Boxes and opened them to reveal two Spirit Pills in each:

“These are two Tier Two Middle-Grade Jade Soul Pills with Pill Patterns, and two Tier Two Jade Injury Pills, also with Pill Patterns, for exchange with Defensive Artifacts, Tier Two Thunder Beads, or Escape Talismans!” Ye Jingcheng wasn’t particular about what treasures to exchange for.

He just wanted an excuse in case he needed to explain where his treasures came from if they got revealed in the Secret Realm.

Since he had traded for them before.

The value of Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit Pills ranges from eight hundred to a thousand Spirit Stones, with those having Pill Patterns fetching about twice as much, around three thousand Spirit Stones. The Jade Soul Pill’s value is slightly higher, so Ye Jingcheng’s four pills were worth nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Exchanging for Tier Two High-grade Artifacts wasn’t feasible, but exchanging for ordinary Tier Two Middle-grade Artifacts was entirely possible.

Even after ten breaths, no one exchanged with him.

Instead, there were quite a few who sent him transmissions, inquiring if the Ye Family Shop sold such Jade Soul Pills.

Ye Jingcheng wasn’t bothered, viewing it as an opportunity to elevate the family’s reputation.

At least, others knew he could refine Tier Two Middle-grade Spirit Pills with Pill Patterns, making him a Tier Two High-grade Alchemy Master, which might bring benefits to the family and himself in the future.

After Ye Jingcheng finished, it was Ye Jingyu’s turn, who casually took out a Lower Grade Magical Artifact, which made Ye Jingcheng’s face darken involuntarily.

It seemed Ye Jingyu was retaliating for borrowing Spirit Stones and not returning them.

But it was just a matter of reputation, so Ye Jingcheng ignored it, and the trading conference soon ended.

As Yu Tianhe gave a closing speech, many cultivators began moving toward the exit.

Ye Jingcheng kept a slow pace.

Though Ye Jingyu didn’t understand, he didn’t speak, and instead continued to follow beside him.

“Ye Daoist, shall we enter the Secret Realm together later?” Chu Yanqing spoke again this time.

“No need, this time my clan uncle is taking me.” Ye Jingcheng shook his head, decisively declining.

Chu Yanqing seemed surprised by Ye Jingcheng’s firm refusal but said nothing, pouting and humming before leaving.

Chu Yanhao and others behind her also glanced at Ye Jingcheng but did not speak, striding away together.

Ye Jingcheng’s steps remained slow, and soon a broad figure approached.

“Are you Ye Jingcheng?”

“Are you Mo Hongwen?” Ye Jingcheng responded, narrowing his eyes slightly with a pause in his hand movements.

In his hand was some special pollen, which had no color or scent and could only be detected by his Five Poison Bees within a certain range.

He deliberately slowed his pace to let Mo Hongwen catch up.

But what he didn’t expect was that Mo Hongwen had already placed a mysterious powder on him.

His Divine Sense was much stronger than Mo Hongwen’s, and since he was waiting for Mo Hongwen, he saw it clearly.

“Our Mo Family will settle this score, and don’t let us catch you with evidence!” Mo Hongwen threatened suddenly.

But his threats were a joke to Ye Jingcheng.

What kind of wave can a person at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment stir up?

He looked behind and saw eight or nine Xu Family members chatting happily.

When they saw Ye Jingcheng looking over, they even smiled at him.

As if they had completely forgotten the underhanded rivalry between the Xu Family and Ye Family’s Pill Shop, and what the Xu Family had done to the Ye Family in the Taihang Market.

But in his heart, Ye Jingcheng had already made up his mind.

Having left a mark, the other side would come looking for him, so there was no point in doing more.

He put away the pollen, but his pace remained slow, seemingly waiting for Ye Jingteng.

When passing by the Xu Family members, Ye Jingcheng raised his hand to greet them, but he suddenly felt a chill.

The next moment, he saw a veiled woman looking at him.

Those cold eyes were like those of an emotionless and bloodthirsty ice wolf.

Ye Jingcheng even shivered.

The Xu Family group continued on while Ye Jingcheng stood in a daze.

“Jingcheng, you acquired quite a few treasures today!” Ye Jingteng’s words snapped Ye Jingcheng back to reality.

“Elder brother, you must be joking. It was but spending all my resources to buy a Magical Artifact!” Ye Jingcheng shook his head with a helpless smile.

After all, his actions to borrow Spirit Stones were not discreet.

This, in fact, enhanced Ye Jingyu’s credibility.

“Elder brother, those Silver Needles you exchanged are the real treasure!” Ye Jingcheng praised.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingteng laughed heartily.

“Just a little trick. What truly sets me apart are the Sect Secret Techniques I have mastered!” Ye Jingteng said confidently.

But he didn’t elaborate, only giving Ye Jingcheng a meaningful look.

The group then dispersed once again.
