Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 813: Chapter 85: The Rightful First, The Xun Family’s Suspicions (Triple-Length Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Then he waved his hand repeatedly, letting Ye Jingfu and Ye Jingyong go and help as well.

After the two went out, Ye Xinghe took out the Clan Token, placed it on the octagonal table in a formal manner, and also took out some offerings, Spirit Beast Meat, and Spirit Wine.

He began to pray, muttering under his breath.

Even though he was unwilling to admit it, he knew his end was near. What he could do for the Ye Family now was nothing more than praying.

To be able to witness the Ye Family auction with his own eyes before he died was enough to satisfy him.

That was what he had once imagined as his greatest achievement!

…

In the auction hall, Ye Jingcheng was sitting opposite Jiang Jinghe.

The Spirit Cuisine on the table was a complete recreation of the old days, even more sumptuous, with several additional grand Spirit Dishes.

Such as the famous “Farewell My Concubine” Spirit Cuisine and Iron Tree Flowering, among others.

These were all cooked using Spirit Turtles and Spiritual Eggplants, rich in Spiritual Energy.

They were generously displayed on the table, exuding an aromatic fragrance.

“Master Jiang, mission accomplished!” Ye Jingcheng took out a Jade Bottle and placed it in front of Jiang Jinghe.

The jade bottle was emitting a radiant purple light, with a stream of Spiritual Radiance surging within.

Jiang Jinghe’s eyes were filled with utmost excitement, even after being a Market Master for seventy to eighty years, he could barely contain his excitement at the moment.

After all, this was related to his breakthrough to the Purple Mansion.

“Although luck was not on our side, and the quantity refined was a bit less, it was a success nonetheless!” Ye Jingcheng said.

This was also to inform Jiang Jinghe that the quantity was slightly less.

But to Jiang Jinghe, having someone refine for him, a little less Purple Mansion Jade Liquid was completely normal.

For a normal Pill Master, managing to provide eighty percent yield of the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid would be good, Ye Jingcheng had at least ninety percent here.

Some others might even dilute it with Spirit Water.

He didn’t think Ye Jingcheng deliberately gave less.

After all, Ye Jingcheng had just broken through to the Purple Mansion not long ago, so having a bit less Purple Mansion Jade Liquid was quite normal.

Ye Jingcheng giving this much already showed the Ye Family’s sincerity from his perspective!

Then Jiang Jinghe spoke again:

“Elder Ye, this is not little, it’s actually more; Elder Ye indeed lives up to being a genius Alchemy Master valued by Master Tianfu. Among young Alchemy Masters in the Yan Kingdom, he is surely in the top three!” Jiang Jinghe, being shrewd, didn’t hold back on his compliments.

Previously it was mainly for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

Now, he genuinely wanted to establish connections with Ye Jingcheng.

He wanted to foster good relations with the Ye Family.

The potential and diplomatic ability shown by Ye Jingcheng were enough to surpass many Patriarchs of Golden Core Clans.

This kind of cultivator would only become more formidable over time.

“Master Jiang, you overpraise me, but I hope Master Jiang can have a successful breakthrough soon enough. Then we can drink and chat again, having another round!” Ye Jingcheng replied with a smile.

Jiang Jinghe didn’t immediately drink but took out a Storage Bag instead.

Before Ye Jingcheng could refuse, Jiang Jinghe said:

“Patriarch Ye, this is a Foundation Establishment Pill. An auction without a Foundation Establishment Pill wouldn’t do; consider it my congratulatory gift for Ye Family’s successful auction!”

The Foundation Establishment Pill was certainly not enough for the reward of refining the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, but since Jiang Jinghe had already given the Insect Egg of the Dream-Devouring Worm and several other materials for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid before.

So this Foundation Establishment Pill was truly a free gift.

And Ye Jingcheng naturally accepted it with justification.

“Master Jiang, I also hope Master Jiang can attend the auction; should anything go amiss, I hope you can provide guidance!” Ye Jingcheng continued to speak.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinghe repeatedly agreed.

He knew what Ye Jingcheng meant; after all, without his recognition as a Market Master, many Loose Cultivators or cultivators might have reservations.

But at this moment, not to mention attending the Ye Family auction, he would even fully support the allocation conference if the Ye Family opened a market.

After another round of lively toasts, it was a long while before Ye Jingcheng left.

Jiang Jinghe took out the Jade Bottle, his fingers pried open the stopper—it was, after all, the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, he had to verify it carefully.

However, as the fragrance of the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid hit him, Jiang Jinghe was utterly astonished at that moment.

He couldn’t help but inhale sharply and took a long time to recover.

“This deserves more than the top three, it should be first!” Jiang Jinghe felt like slapping himself then.

He had thought he was flattering well, but now it seemed it was just a misguided attempt!

“Someone, send the treasure to…”

“Never mind, I’ll go myself!” Jiang Jinghe almost immediately after Ye Jingcheng left, changed his outfit and headed towards the Ye Family’s restaurant.

…

In Yanhui Commandery, on Purple Swan Mountain, within a secluded courtyard.

Xun Changsheng ominously looked at the people in the courtyard, finally letting his gaze fall on the head of the Xun Family, Xun Changqing.

“Patriarch, what did Third Uncle say, do we really have to share the Pill Desolate Secret Realm with the Ye Family this time?” Xun Changsheng was still somewhat displeased.

To find the Key to the Secret Realm, he even refined his wife into an Essence Blood Spirit Disc, thus locating the Ye Family.

Only to find that the Ye Family happened to have the Key.

Now he had to cooperate with the Ye Family.

“This was a decision made by Third Uncle; if you have objections, go speak to Third Uncle!” Xun Changqing swept a cold look at Xun Changsheng, his face full of displeasure.

This Xun Changsheng had always disregarded him as the Patriarch, solely by relying on the favor of the Xun Family’s Purple Mansion Senior, Eighth Uncle Xun Tianhui.

To the point where he questioned him.

“Furthermore, regarding matters of the Ye Family, Third Uncle and Eighth Uncle have their analysis. With less than a month until the summer solstice, if anyone leaks information or exposes the Secret Realm during this period, we will deal with them with the utmost family law, crushing their soul and grinding their bones, with no mercy!” Xun Changqing said sternly.
