Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 608: Chapter 475: Purple Jade Soul Token and Ceremony Inquiry (Double Chapter)

A Spirit Shuttle sailed through the endless sea horizon, with the distant dawn faintly glowing.

Ye Jingcheng stood at the front of the shuttle, feeling the sea breeze blowing, the roar of the waves in his ears; though life in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain wasn’t as tranquil as a mountain morning.

Yet, the days of rising sun and fierce waves could equally bring Ye Jingcheng a different kind of joy.

His gaze fell on the horizon, where Purple Wood Island gradually appeared before his eyes.

On the island, purple light suffused the air, countless Smoke Dragons soared into the sky, forming a magnificent spectacle in the air.

The entire island was also brightly decorated.

Ye Jingcheng knew in his heart that this was the soon-to-arrive Purple Wood Sect celebration ceremony.

On the surface, the Yun family remained unchanged, maintaining absolute control over the Celestial Cloud Islands, while the Purple Wood Sect, Profound Sword Pavilion, and Haoran Trading Association had jointly annexed the Yu Chu Sect.

Of course, the pretext was that Cyan Fish Island was destroyed, dozens of Dragon Fish were lost, and have yet to be recovered.

Even the Yun Family spread rumors of Yu Chu Sect colluding with Demon Cultivators, making the Purple Wood Sect and Profound Sword Pavilion no exception among the three sects.

Ye Jingcheng landed on the island from the side, without approaching the docks.

The docks were crowded with cultivators; for Ye Jingcheng, not being involved in the power struggles of the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, his previous disguise was enough.

Now he could safely record in the Purple Wood Sect, and then find a chance to go to the Hidden Island.

Of course, before that, Ye Jingcheng needed to share some treasures with Ye Haicheng, and also needed to purchase enough Spirit Medicine.

Such as Tier One and Two Moon Spirit Pills, Tier Two Thunder Rhinoceros Pills, Tier One and Two Pengyu Pills, even auxiliary materials for Tier Three Golden Falcon Pills, Jade Qilin Pills, and Golden Scale Pills, he needed to gather them all.

This way, on the Hidden Island, he could hunt demons and refine pills simultaneously.

After gathering materials, he also needed to prepare materials for Tier Three Spirit Pills, to improve his Alchemy Skill to Tier Three level.

After all, up to now, he hadn’t refined a Tier Three Spirit Pill.

But his body held many Pill Formulas, like the Black Water Pill for enhancing water-attribute Purple Mansion Cultivator’s cultivation, Profound Flame Pill for enhancing fire-attribute Purple Mansion Cultivator’s cultivation, and even Golden Bright Pill for enhancing gold-attribute cultivator’s cultivation, all of which are Tier Three Beginner Spirit Pills.

They only required the corresponding attribute Great Demon Core to refine.

As for auxiliary materials, they might have been hard to collect before, but now the Ye Family could be said to have gathered the Spirit Medicine resources of the Yun Family, Yu Chu Sect, and the Purple Wood Sect. For Ye Jingcheng, it just meant spending some time on Purple Wood Island.

The dense smoke on Purple Wood Island was rising from the square of the Purple Wood Sect.

At this moment, five Purple Wood Incense Burners were ignited.

Five Smoke Dragons rose, even more astonishing when viewed from outside the island.

Some newly promoted Purple Wood Sect cultivators were quite overwhelmed by the scene.

At this moment, Elder An Yuhuai was also on the square; upon seeing a new disciple, he would scold a few words, looking very proud.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng planned to avoid the area, intending to slip past from the side. However, unexpectedly, An Yuhuai, truly dedicated, extended his Divine Sense even at this moment.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng passing by from the side, he approached.

“Tang Daoist, though you are exceptionally talented and outstanding at a young age, the strength of a sect is not the strength of us cultivators; one must not waste time in vain, neglecting cultivation, thinking…” An Yuhuai started with a lengthy speech, leaving Ye Jingcheng at a loss for how to respond.

After all, what the other said seemed irrefutable.

Ye Jingcheng could only nod in agreement a couple of times, using an urgent matter as an excuse to report and pass through the square, entering the grand hall.

Ye Xingliu was currently discussing important matters of the ceremony with others. Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng arrive, he gestured for the others to leave first.

Once only the two of them remained, Ye Jingyu activated the array inside the hall, then used sound transmission:

“Jingcheng, your Spirit Pills are truly effective. My Jade Qilin Snake is already advancing, emanating spiritual light, and should soon break through to the Late Stage of Tier Two!”

“Fourth Brother is flattering; it is mainly because the Jade Qilin Snake has excellent talent!” Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, then handed the jade talisman documenting the sea domain to Ye Jingyu.

It contained some Spirit Stone and Spirit Ore deposits.

Due to insufficient returns, Ye Jingcheng didn’t have time to mine it, but giving it to Ye Jingyu, he could arrange for Purple Wood Sect cultivators to mine it.

At that time, even if Purple Wood Sect cultivators were lost, the Ye Family wouldn’t be distressed.

And the major portion of the resources would be occupied by the Ye Family.

“Later there will be a ceremony and a trade fair, show your face, and help me keep an eye on the Profound Sword Pavilion and Haoran Trading Association!” Ye Jingyu said.

This statement made it clear that he was also worried about being recognized as from the Ye Family.

Although the Qinghe Sect and the Ye Family were not united, the Ye Family coming from the Beast Desolate Wasteland, staying too close would always raise some concerns.

Now, even the Earth Dragon Demon King has not broken through, the Ye Family must be more cautious.

If only one person came, Ye Jingyu wouldn’t be afraid, but the fear was if both the Profound Sword Pavilion and Haoran Trading Association sent people.

Many elders of the Ye Family, despite being Hidden Island cultivators and exceptionally shrewd, disguise themselves well, but when it comes to dealing with others, they don’t match Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu.

As for Ye Haicheng and Ye Xingliu, they were even less capable, as they were open members of the Ye Family in Yan Kingdom, easily recognizable.

Ye Jingcheng nodded.

He then left the grand hall, first heading to Ye Haicheng’s underground yard; upon learning that the other was refining artifacts, he left a Sound Transmission Talisman and placed a Storage Bracelet in a hidden compartment by the door.

Afterwards, he went to the Treasure Pavilion of the Purple Wood Sect to exchange Spirit Medicine.

What surprised Ye Jingcheng was that his Purple Wood Sect token still had 150,000 Contribution Points remaining.

It should be noted, after the battle on Taoyun Island, the family gave him 150,000 Contribution Points, plus those from breaking through to Golden Core stage, totaling 450,000.

Such a large amount startled Ye Jingcheng.

But ultimately, it’s the Contribution Points applied for by the family for him.

However, Ye Jingcheng knows that when the time comes, he’ll use it up quickly. Ye Haicheng will refine the Blazing Flame Fan for him, refine the Celestial Sand Seal treasure, and even refine a Tier Three Flying Ship treasure, all requiring a vast amount of Contribution Points.

After exchanging treasures, Ye Jingcheng returned to his room and opened the Storage Bracelet given to him by Ye Xuecang.

He hadn’t found the time before. As Ye Xuecang headed to the Celestial Cloud Islands, Ye Jingcheng needed to guard against sea dangers.

It all delayed until now.

Upon opening the Storage Bracelet, Ye Jingcheng looked at the treasures emitting bursts of Treasure Light inside, and a smile appeared on his face for a moment.

Inside are pill formulas, magical treasures, and spirit materials.

Among them is a magical treasure known as the Purple Jade Soul Token.

A Middle-Grade Treasure for protecting the Divine Soul and Divine Sense, indeed very practical for Ye Jingcheng.

Though his Divine Sense can be said to have reached the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, there are too many talented individuals among Purple Mansion Cultivators, so having one more treasure is one less risk.

Besides the Purple Jade Soul Token, there is also a Purple Jade Cold Bed.

This treasure is even more special, having a subtle similarity to the Taiqing Spirit Guarding Skill bestowed by Master Tianfu.

Both serve to calm and nurture the mind, invigorate the spirit, suppress Heart Demons, and also enhance the contemplation and research of pill formulas.

Inside the Jade Talisman are several pill formulas and secret techniques.

Among the pill formulas are several Tier Three Pill Formulas not previously possessed by the Ye Family, while the secret technique includes a Soul Searching Skill, also extraordinarily precious.

Ye Jingcheng then looked at the spirit materials, noticing they consisted of the main spirit medicines he had been seeking, along with some auxiliary medicines.

Unfortunately, Ye Jingcheng had nearly gathered them all, but it did provide him with some allowance for error.

Apart from the spirit medicines, there were also some spirit materials for the Celestial Sand Seal.

Ye Jingcheng was filled with emotion.

These treasures are by no means ordinary.

Some of them could even be used by Ye Xuecang, yet they were all given to Ye Jingcheng.

This also implies the family’s high regard for him.

After organizing the treasures, Ye Jingcheng stepped out of the hall. At this moment, the scorching sun had shifted to mid-sky, and the Pill Furnace in the Purple Wood Square was burning at its peak. Numerous pavilions had been set up in the distance.

Many cultivators had already arrived in the pavilions to participate in the celebration.

However, among these cultivators, the proportion of loose cultivators was relatively lower.

In the Cultivation Realm, there are generally three kinds of celebrations. One is the Enlightenment Celebration, often featuring cultivators giving lectures and is the most popular.

The second kind is the Sect Establishment and Prosperity Ceremony, more attended by cultivation forces.

The third kind is a banquet celebrating longevity and weddings.

The Purple Wood Sect’s event this time belongs to the second category.

All kinds of Spirit Wine and fruits were fully prepared.

However, the opening ceremony and speeches were exceedingly dull. Ye Jingcheng was seated in a pavilion with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, eating Spirit Fruits, appearing quite worldly.

After all, as a loose cultivator joining a sect, this seemed more fitting.

“The Yun Family’s Ascendant Yun Baiyuan presents a Tier Three Purple Divine Jade to celebrate the Purple Wood Sect’s eradication of the Demon Sect!”

“Fairy Wu Xin from the Profound Sword Pavilion presents a Tier Two Top-Grade Origin Stone to celebrate the Purple Wood Sect’s eradication of the Demon Sect!”

“Chief Steward Xiao from Haoran Trading Association presents a share of Tier Two Purple Cloud Flame Fiend to celebrate the Purple Wood Sect’s eradication of the Demon Sect!”

…

As three voices resounded, almost all the significant forces in the Celestial Cloud Islands had arrived.

Moreover, this time, unlike Taoyun Island, all who came were the main figures.

All the cultivators present this time were the elites from each family.

Of course, what surprised Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu the most was Yun Baiyuan.

Yun Baiyuan is considered one of the most outstanding cultivators of the Yun Family, having reached the Early Stage of Purple Mansion early on, only focusing on cultivation and being indifferent to worldly affairs.

Ye Jingcheng initially thought the Yun Family would only send a Foundation Establishment.

But it seems the Yun Family cultivators have discerned some clues.

“Senior Baiyuan, as Elder Zimu is still in seclusion healing, only the younger generation can entertain you!” Ye Jingyu invited Yun Baiyuan inside.

The remaining Fairy Wu Xin and Chief Steward Xiao were greeted by Ye Jingcheng and An Yuhuai.

Of course, the primary host was An Yuhuai, while Ye Jingcheng merely supplemented as a cultivator.

“Elder An, this Tang Daoist friend looks unfamiliar, perhaps he’s a newly accepted disciple of Zimu Ascendant, may I have a brief introduction?” Chief Steward Xiao was the first to speak, his plump face was rosy, and his eyes squinted into slits.

He looked harmless enough.

But this question was sharp, inquiring about Ye Jingcheng’s background.

“Indeed, he is the disciple of Uncle-Master Zimu, having joined the sect not long ago!”

“Fairy Wu, Chief Steward Xiao, should anything be amiss in the future, I hope for your guidance!” Ye Jingcheng clasped his hands.

“Elder An, it’s said you are extremely significant in the Purple Wood Sect and can’t find time to manage other affairs. Could this Tang Daoist friend make the decisions in any upcoming cooperation?” Chief Steward Xiao continued.
