Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 498: Chapter 419: Three-Eyed Demon Ape, 20 Years (Double Chapter)

“This spirit monkey cub is not as valuable as the spirit egg from before, but it was born at Mid-stage First Tier, equivalent to the fifth layer of a Qi Cultivation Cultivator. Since I don’t know what kind of lineage it possesses, the starting price is a thousand Spirit Stones. Of course, if anyone has a Cyan Jade Lotus that’s over five hundred years old, this item can be directly traded on the spot!”

The cultivator wasn’t purely after Spirit Stones.

And in Ye Jingcheng’s view, such a cultivator is unlikely to be a mere pretender.

His Treasure Book lit up again, and this time, it revealed a Three-Eyed Demon Ape.

Its fierce presence was overwhelming, with full Spiritual Might, capable of three whole advancements.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but feel pleased; this Little Red Monkey is much more suited for Ye Xingyi.

In the last battle at Wangyue Lake, the Ye Family actually obtained quite a bit, with many Spirit Beasts capable of three advancements, though all were of the Water Attribute.

What Ye Xingyi needed now was a spirit creature with high enough talent to boost his cultivation.

“Uncle Xingyi, this one’s worth buying!” Ye Jingcheng transmitted to Ye Xingyi. Though he had a Cyan Jade Lotus, he couldn’t hand it over at the moment due to concealment, so it was best for Ye Xingyi to use Spirit Stones to purchase it himself.

In the end, no one offered a Cyan Jade Lotus, and the price stopped at nineteen hundred Spirit Stones.

Ye Xingyi successfully acquired the Three-Eyed Red Ape, at the moment having only one red mark at its brow.

It seemed rather deep, yet showed no sign of opening the third eye.

This was the reason why the cultivator misjudged it.

Much like Jingcheng’s Red Flame Fox Golden Scale Beast, though they had lineage, it was not particularly pure.

External stimuli were needed.

The trading meeting continued, with most transactions shifting to bartering, and some items remained unsold, indicating many cultivators weren’t severely short on Spirit Stones.

Ye Jingli subsequently used his uniquely refined Magical Artifact to obtain a Tier Two Fire Attribute Spirit Fruit, which was greatly beneficial for his Red Flame Python; along with a Tier Two Demon Beast Core, advancing to Tier Two Scale Python was only a matter of time.

Ye Jingcheng took out two Tier Two Late Stage Silver Moon Python Cores, trying to exchange them for an herb containing aura, but received no offers.

His hope of obtaining the Tier Three Jade Qilin Pill quickly dimmed.

Even when the auction concluded, Ye Jingcheng was unable to fulfill his wish.

“Alright, the trading session is about to end. For those who sold items, please remember to pay your commission. Also, I ask everyone here to make a Heavenly Dao Oath today, not to reveal anything about this!” Chief Steward Qing spoke again.

No one seemed surprised by this statement.

The Cyan Spirit Trading Association was being so cautious; they didn’t want their reputation in the Zhao Kingdom to turn into waste paper, thus this approach was necessary.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingyi hadn’t sold spiritual objects, so they left the courtyard directly, with only Ye Jingli needing to pay the commission.

He returned shortly after.

The three gathered at the place where the old man had set up his stall; a large tree marked the spot, making it easy to recognize.

Furthermore, it wasn’t at the exit, so it didn’t attract much attention.

“Patriarch, they gave us an additional item!” Ye Jingli returned not long after.

Ye Jingli’s sleeves, wide and deep from the Spirit-Blocking Robe, clearly contained something.

When Ye Jingcheng approached, it was evidently a Silver Flower Order.

The flowers on it were more prominent, the material more radiant with Spiritual Light.

“Patriarch, they said this is for a Purple Mansion Cultivator to use, a Silver Spirit Level Token. With this, you can participate in the Silver Spirit Trade Fair in the future!” Ye Jingli transmitted quietly to Ye Jingcheng.

It was clear Chief Steward Qing already knew the three were together.

Moreover, they seemed to admire Ye Jingcheng for spending so many Spirit Stones.

They wanted to develop a connection with Ye Jingcheng so they could continue to profit from him in the future.

Ye Jingcheng even speculated that if there were a Purple Mansion female cultivator cauldron, Chief Steward Qing might push it towards him, considering his actions at the auction had the air of a Demon Cultivator.

After a moment’s hesitation, Ye Jingcheng decided to accept the token, but only after taking out a Spirit-Blocking Box filled with arrays inscribed to prevent Divine Sense detection, then placing it inside.

He then stored it into the Storage Bag.

Before breaking through to the Purple Mansion, he certainly wouldn’t attend, but afterward, he might join the Silver Spirit Trade Fair of the Cyan Spirit Trading Association.

“Patriarch, more than a dozen gates have opened in the array!” Ye Xingyi spoke up this time.

The entire town’s array now displayed like a starry sea, with gate after gate appearing around the town.

“This Cyan Spirit Trading Association is truly amazing.” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but sigh, taking Ye Jingli and Ye Xingyi toward the nearest gate.

There was no need, in Ye Jingcheng’s view, to wait.

As an Evil Cultivator, having a Ziyang Demon Corpse was normal, and if anyone coveted his Spirit Stones, he’d be glad to earn a little more.

The three moved quickly; as for Chu Yanqing, he was directly carried on Ye Jingcheng’s shoulder.

A Demon Cultivator’s style doesn’t care for grace, much like Ye Jingcheng at that moment.

Occasional physical contact was frequent.

Being too upright, in turn, would be unfavorable.

Once they exited the array, Ye Jingcheng took out the Spiritual Ship, a spoil of his, barely counted as a Mid-stage Second Tier ship, and its speed wasn’t very fast.

Ye Jingcheng sat at the helm of the Spiritual Ship, quietly awaiting the Tribulation Cultivator’s arrival.

Yet what made him frown was seeing two cultivators in cyan robes far behind, tailing them from a distance.

Ye Jingcheng raised his eyebrows once more.

He could tell the two Jiabao cultivators had no ill intentions.

They even seemed to be protecting Ye Jingcheng and his companions.

“This Cyan Spirit Trading Association is intriguing,” Ye Jingcheng murmured.

After flying for about a hundred miles, the two Jiabao cultivators vanished.

Ye Jingcheng and his companions then began to detour toward Taichang Market.

Once they caught sight of Taichang Market’s outline from afar.

Ye Jingcheng also took out the token controlling Chu Yanqing and released Chu Yanqing’s array restriction.

The other party didn’t plead nor panicked, but rather looked at Ye Jingcheng with contemplation:

“Are you Ye Daoist?”

Upon hearing this greeting, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but sigh; indeed, a woman’s intuition is terrifying.

Ye Jingcheng dared to guarantee that his actions now were completely different from before.

Yet the latter still held suspicions. Of course, Ye Jingcheng figured, Chu Yanqing might also have been pondering who was rescuing him, as there were few capable of saving him.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng not answering, Chu Yanqing smiled, a sigh of relief mixed with a surge of years of pent-up grievances welled up in her eyes.

In the Cultivation Realm, female cultivators who were harvested typically faced two outcomes.

One, their cultivation regressed significantly, severely reducing their lifespan.

Two, by undergoing moderate harvesting, their future prospects were cut short due to Dual Cultivation Techniques.

Seeing he’d been recognized, Ye Jingcheng neither nodded nor removed the Spirit-Blocking Robe.

Instead, he took out a Bone Transformation Pill, then released the array restriction on Chu Yanqing, handing her a Spiritual Supplement Pill to recover Spiritual Energy.

Such arrays typically absorbed the cultivator’s Spiritual Energy constantly, leaving them unable to muster enough Spiritual Power to resist.

In fact, Ye Jingcheng wondered how Chu Yanqing still had enough Spiritual Power to pull off small stunts at the auction.

After completing these tasks, Ye Jingcheng tossed her a Storage Bag.

“There are clothes and a few Standard Spiritual Artifacts inside!”

“Oh, and about spending tens of thousands of Spirit Stones to craft artifacts for ten years at the Ye Family, no problem, right?” Ye Jingcheng added.

Upon this statement, Chu Yanqing immediately nodded.

“Thank you, I’ll do it for twenty years, also to repay the debt of kindness!” Chu Yanqing thought for a moment and added.

“Alright, then take the Bone Transformation Pill as soon as possible. It can alter your appearance; it’s better to transform into a male cultivator, for increased safety!” Ye Jingcheng instructed, not rejecting the offer.

This Chu Yanqing had a higher talent for Artifact Refining, at Tier Two Upper-grade Artifact Refiner level, even greater than Ye Jingli. The only pity was that she wasn’t from the Ye Family. In the future, they’d still need to guard against her, but she could remain at Buqing Mountain to refine artifacts for the Ye Family.

Chu Yanqing, after listening, went next door and began setting up an array to change her clothes!
