Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 776: Chapter 565: Qingxuan Yuan

Ye Family’s One Leaf Pavilion, on either side of the Eight Immortals Table, Bai Yuanqing also glanced at the Spirit Talisman at his waist but did not take it out.

Instead, he patted his head and said:

“Ah, my memory! This is indeed an Ancient Spirit Talisman, gifted to me by Master Qingyu of the Cyan Spirit Trading Association. You should know Master Qingyu!”

“One of the three presidents of the Cyan Spirit Trading Association!”

“Moreover, Master Qingyu is most famous for his three grandsons, each of whom reached the Purple Mansion before turning a hundred!” Bai Yuanqing said.

He then looked at Zhang Yuhuai and Ye Jingcheng.

“Naturally heard of them, Qing Kongying reached the Purple Mansion at eighty years old, Qingxuanyu at seventy-eight, Qing Taian at ninety-three!”

Zhang Yuhuai listed them as if presenting cherished items, and Bai Yuanqing also glanced at Ye Jingcheng.

But Ye Jingcheng just shook his head:

“I’ve indeed heard of Master Qingyu’s reputation, but the fame of the three prodigies perhaps did not reach me as I was still in Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment at the time!”

Ye Jingcheng’s words were indeed honest, and the Spirit Talisman did not light up.

Ye Jingcheng naturally knew of Qing Kongying, but that was before he consumed the Forget Dust Pill. After discovering his extraordinary identity, he took the Forget Dust Pill to seal part of his memories.

Therefore, he was not at all afraid of Bai Yuanqing’s probing at this moment.

“Indeed, Daoist Ye is himself above seventy yet has reached the Purple Mansion!” Bai Yuanqing nodded, offering some compliments.

But Ye Jingcheng could still detect a hint of disappointment in this person’s eyes.

“Daoist Ye, I am here this time to purchase Spirit Pills!” Bai Yuanqing said.

He then pointed to the Purple Spirit Pill behind Ye Jingcheng.

This type of Purple Spirit Pill is extremely effective for cultivators’ True Essence consolidation.

“Naturally available, and as we’re preparing for an auction, if you buy more, the Spirit Stones can be discounted!” Ye Jingcheng promptly replied.

Then he took out three bottles, each containing only two pills, with the pills appearing just barely formed.

However, these Purple Spirit Pills are Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Pills effective even for Mid-Stage Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Despite the quality, they are highly valuable, and many from the Purple Mansion come to seek out Ye Jingcheng.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng isn’t limited to producing only two pills per batch.

Yet, for Ye Jingcheng, who seemingly achieved the Purple Mansion in just six years, even with guidance from Master Tianfu, he shouldn’t appear too exceptional.

“That’s great, what is the price per pill of these Purple Spirit Pills?” Bai Yuanqing eagerly asked.

“Twenty-six thousand Spirit Stones per pill, but for Daoist Bai and Daoist Zhang, twenty-five thousand Spirit Stones each!” Ye Jingcheng was truthful and did not intend to deceive the duo.

The price for Tier Three Lower-Grade Spirit Pills, without considering auction occasions, is generally over twenty thousand Spirit Stones per pill, slightly higher than the Foundation Establishment Pill but not excessively.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Pill’s main ingredient is controlled by the sect.

And for Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Pills, at around twenty-five thousand, Ye Jingcheng has previously sold them at twenty-six thousand each, occasionally bartering for other items.

Ye Jingcheng now selling at twenty-five thousand per pill is indeed a discount.

Of course, this also relates to the average quality of Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Pills.

If they carried pill fragrance and patterns, the price would be incomparable.

“I’ll take all six pills!” Bai Yuanqing took out a Storage Bag and declared with grandiosity.

Ye Jingcheng looked at Zhang Yuhuai, saw a calm smile on his face, and nodded, handing all six pills to Bai Yuanqing.

He then received the Storage Bag, which contained precisely the right amount of Spirit Stones.

“Daoist Ye, the Magical Treasure you wanted refined is ready, a Tier Three High-Grade Treasure, and due to the addition of Celestial Essence Stone, even the True Essence of Early-stage Purple Mansion Cultivators can activate it!” Zhang Yuhuai mentioned and took out another Storage Bag.

This Storage Bag contained none other than the Magical Treasure Ye Jingcheng had commissioned Zhang Yuhuai to refine five years ago.

It was made from the shed shell of a Tai Cang Turtle.

At the time, Ye Jingcheng had requested Zhang Yuhuai to add extra refining materials.

For this, Ye Jingcheng not only provided the additional materials but also added fifteen thousand Spirit Stones for Zhang Yuhuai.

Ye Jingcheng opened the Storage Bag and saw it was indeed an Unyielding Turtle Shell.

The shell was massive and robust, with lively Spirit Patterns engraved upon it, making the Spirit Armor appear weighty and dependable.

Yet it maintained an air of steadiness.

Ye Jingcheng was just preparing to accompany the Jun Sect Cultivator to a special Secret Realm to capture a Mountain Spirit.

With this treasure, it would truly be like adding wings to a tiger.

After all, the Jun Sect Cultivator had collected Tier Three Lower-Grade Treasures, whereas Ye Jingcheng possessed a Tier Three High-Grade Magical Treasure.

Even more potent than a dozen Tier Three Lower-Grade Treasures.

Additionally, since the True Essence of Early-stage Purple Mansion Cultivators can activate it, Ye Jingcheng’s Mid-Stage Purple Mansion True Essence could harness the full power of this armor.

“What is the name of this treasure?” Ye Jingcheng inquired.

He promptly presented the fifteen thousand Spirit Stones directly.

“This treasure is named Unyielding Turtle Shell!” Zhang Yuhuai flipped open a side of the Spirit Armor, revealing the character ’Yong’an’ beside the word ’Unyielding.’

Symbolizing unyielding immovability!

“Thank you, Daoist, what a remarkable Unyielding Turtle Shell!” Ye Jingcheng’s face was filled with joy as he offered Zhang Yuhuai several cups of Spirit Tea.

After finishing the Spirit Tea, Zhang Yuhuai and Bai Yuanqing finally departed.

Ye Jingcheng watched them leave, his expression eventually calming and becoming sharp.

Ye Jingcheng had a rough guess about whom the Cyan Spirit Trading Association had sent to find him.

It was likely the other two brothers of Cyan Sky Shadow, Qing Taian or Qingxuan Yuan.

As for Bai Yuanqing, though Ye Jingcheng had suspicions, he quickly dismissed them.

Bai Yuanqing’s status wasn’t suitable, even if he knew Cyan Sky Shadow was killed by Ye Jingcheng, he wouldn’t make a big fuss over it.

…

At a secret tavern, after parting ways with Zhang Yuhuai, Bai Yuanqing appeared on the second floor.

Inside, a cultivator was already waiting.

Looking at Bai Yuanqing, he excitedly spoke up:

“So, did the other party recognize my brother?”

“He did not recognize, and the other party, unlike what you said, did not pretend not to see the Spirit Inquiry Talisman, but pointed it out directly!” At these words, the cultivator’s face dimmed.

This action had two probing aspects.

But now, having connected with Ye Jingcheng’s cultivation, it counted as three.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t be the one.

Although he had anticipated it, the complete loss of the trail left him with nothing but a desire to try.

“Brother Qing, bought six Spirit Pills, you can take a look!” Bai Yuanqing took out three Pill Bottles.

For Qingxuan Yuan to confirm.

Only, Qingxuan Yuan showed little interest.

He merely let Bai Yuanqing put them down and continued drinking at the tavern.

Bai Yuanqing wasn’t annoyed, nor did he care about the Spirit Stones he had just paid, for him, a favor from Qingxuan Yuan was far more important than these Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills.

…

In the Ye Family courtyard, Ye Jingcheng arrived in front of Ye Jing Hu’s residence, where Ye Jing Hu was still making his breakthrough, moving from the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment to the Middle Stage, though not a major tier, it wasn’t something that could be achieved in just a few days.

Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, still taking out Spirit Stones, and set up a Spirit Gathering Array at the entrance of the courtyard.

In recent days, due to the oversaturation of cultivators at Taichang Market.

The originally sufficient Spiritual Energy now seemed inadequate.

After all, in the past, the entire Taichang Market wouldn’t have more than five resident Golden Core cultivators, and no more than twenty Purple Mansion cultivators, now those numbers had likely quadrupled or quintupled.

Even the three-tier tavern of the Ye Family hosted several Purple Mansion cultivators.

It wasn’t because of the fame of the Ye Family Tavern but because all the taverns at Taichang Market were full.

Consequently, the Spiritual Energy was somewhat lacking.

Normally, a lack of Spiritual Energy would be tolerable, but now, during a breakthrough, Ye Jingcheng was naturally concerned about Ye Jing Hu facing mishaps.

After all, the Foundation Establishment phase for Ye Jing Hu wasn’t long ago.

And in the future, his retirement was inevitable, and Ye Jing Hu was currently the most suitable successor, also the one with the greatest hope for a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion after him.

After setting up the Array, he felt the Spiritual Energy gathering more in that direction, so he nodded, returning to his room.

He began taking out the Unyielding Treasure Armor and started refining it.

This Spirit Armor was crafted with exquisite precision, not only was its defense extraordinarily robust, but it could also transform into a massive turtle shadow, concealing Ye Jingcheng within.

This way, even if a Mid-Stage Purple Mansion cultivator continuously attacked Ye Jingcheng, it would likely take quite some time.

This Unyielding Treasure Armor was an incredible item, even for Ye Jingcheng at the Mid-Stage of Purple Mansion.

Ye Jingcheng spent half a day refining the Treasure Armor.

As time passed, the distant Chixiao Curtain reappeared.

The red clouds were constantly turning, signaling not something else, but the start of the auction.

A large number of cultivators surged onto the streets again, much like the day they went to the Taichang Mountain Range.

All squeezed towards the North District.

Ye Jingcheng, bringing the Ye Family members, left the shop, merging into the crowd, his gaze turning to Chixiao Heaven.

According to the usual procedures, the Chixiao Spirit Screen would reveal fifty percent of the treasures in advance.

Ye Jingcheng had just seen many Spirit Medicines beneficial to him.

He also saw a few extremely powerful Spirit Beast cubs.

In addition, rare Tier Four Talisman Treasures and Tier Four Spiritual Treasures.

He also saw Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, Gold Condensing Pill, and even Tier Four Top-Grade Spiritual Pills, capable of helping Golden Core cultivators break through a small tier!
