Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 814: Chapter 585: Time to Enjoy, Xun Family’s Suspicion (Triple Combo Chapter)

At this moment, there were seven people in the hall, all Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Xun family.

Not including the clan members who went to guard the spirit vein and market.

The rest naturally nodded in agreement.

Regarding the Tier Three Secret Realm, only about ten Foundation Establishment cultivators were aware of it now, and this matter was also related to the highest secrets of the Xun family.

The two Purple Mansion ancestors of the Xun family, not long ago, made them swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to modify the soul book of the Soul Ban. If disclosed, they would die on the spot.

So this matter naturally wouldn’t be leaked.

Even the Qi Cultivation cultivators of the Xun family are absolutely unaware.

“Tai Ming, continue to arrange for Tai Xuan and Taihe and a few others to visit the Ye family. Even if the Ye family does not bring people, the key must be brought back. As for the conditions, as long as they do not involve the Heavenly Dao Oath of the family and do not involve the Purple Mansion ancestors, they can be agreed to for now!” Xun Changqing continued to instruct.

“Changsheng, the family’s Foundation Establishment Battle Array and the battle array spirit talisman for Qi Cultivation cultivators also need to be prepared in advance. Although it’s a Tier Three Secret Realm, Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation entering can still play a role!” Xun Changqing continued.

The Xun family has been planning for this Tier Three Secret Realm for a long time.

They will not allow any mistakes to occur.

“I have naturally made preparations for these matters, but why are Third Uncle and Eighth Uncle usually so cautious, yet this time handing everything to us?” Xun Changsheng couldn’t help but add.

His previous worries were not only because he disliked Xun Changqing as the Patriarch, but also because recently, the two Purple Mansions of the Xun family indeed went into seclusion far more often than before.

This made him somewhat suspicious.

Moreover, a few years ago, the ancestors of the Xun family even jointly pursued a Five-Colored Butterfly, but didn’t hear anything about the Five-Colored Butterfly afterward.

“You think the Wood Demons inside the Tier Three Secret Realm are worthless?”

“Do you know how many years it has been since the peak period of the Eight Desolates Sect?” Xun Changqing couldn’t help but rebuke.

Xun Changsheng stopped talking upon hearing this and instead expressed that he would continue to gather family finances.

The entire conference quickly came to an end.

The looks in the eyes of several people varied, and some even secretly exchanged divine sense communications.

However, after the exchange, no conclusions were drawn, and they still wanted to discuss it when the ancestors of the Xun family emerged from seclusion.

…

The Xuanqing Mountain Market was a small market, where many cultivators gathered, and it was one of the five major markets of Yanhui Commandery.

Different from the Taiyi Sect’s territory, where the main cultivation resources came from the Taihang Mountain Range.

For the Cyan River Sect’s Yanhui Commandery, in addition to the demon beasts and resource yields supported by the Cyan River Sect’s Xunyan Mountain, many segments of the Cyan River allowed cultivators to harvest resources.

This enabled the strength of the Qinghe Four Commanderies to far surpass the Taiyi Three Commanderies.

Yanhui Commandery alone had five major markets.

The Profound Cyan Gang controlled one such market.

The entire Profound Cyan Gang was composed of three families: Ji, Xiao, and Xing. These families were affiliated with the Xi Wang Valley of the Cyan River Sect, and despite their limited populous, they were considered rising stars.

Among the three families, two had Purple Mansion cultivators, and one had a Tier Three clan guardian spirit beast.

Thus, the strength of the Profound Cyan Gang was definitely not weak among the affiliated forces of the Cyan River Sect.

Moreover, with no fights ever occurring in the market, the Profound Cyan Market gradually accumulated a considerable amount of popularity.

It attracted more and more loose cultivators to join the gang.

If it weren’t for the Hua Yu Sect being exposed, the Profound Cyan Gang would have been recognized as a trusted force of the Cyan River Sect.

At this moment, a cultivator wearing a Spirit-Blocking Robe entered the market. He wore brocade clothes, had a protruding belly, was rotund, and donned gold ornaments on his head.

His face was full of joviality.

Upon entering the market, he headed straight for the restaurant.

This person was none other than Ye Jingcheng, who had rushed away from the Taihang Market.

He changed his appearance and sneaked in for the purpose of igniting conflict between the Profound Cyan Gang and the Purple Swan Xun family.

However, before thoroughly investigating the situation of the market and the Profound Cyan Gang, Ye Jingcheng would not act hastily.

For intelligence gathering, the best place was the first floor of the restaurant.

“Waiter, bring a pot of the signature Spirit Wine, three servings of the signature Spiritual Cuisine, and make sure it’s all meat; Young Master has plenty of Spirit Stones!” Ye Jingcheng sat down boldly, displaying his imposing presence.

He was entirely different from the previously low-profile Ye Jingcheng, now appearing like a nouveau riche.

He instantly attracted many loose cultivators and the responsible cultivators of the restaurant.

“Hehe, just finished an escort job, fellow cultivators, does anyone know of any Immortal Land?” Ye Jingcheng squinted his eyes, asking with an evil smile.

He showed no scruples whatsoever.

Escorting in the cultivation realm essentially means helping families or affiliated forces complete tasks.

In a negative sense, it’s running errands and working; positively, it’s an escort job bringing vitality.

As for Immortal Land, that’s easier understood.

“The most celestial in the Profound Cyan Market is undoubtedly the Xiaoqing Workshop, although the Spirit Stones needed there are considerable!” Perhaps because of Ye Jingcheng’s generosity, several communicated with Ye Jingcheng by transmission.

Ye Jingcheng was indifferent to these nuances, yet most loose cultivators maintain a strong sense of dignity.

Even if it’s the Immortal Path, they prefer more tactfulness.

“Then where are the treasures, especially body-forging treasures, the best!” Ye Jingcheng asked again.

Once more expressing it outright.

As for asking privately? His aura doesn’t allow for it at this moment!

“The Profound Cyan Pavilion, which is the shop of the Profound Cyan Gang—its pills, artifacts, and talismans are all exquisite!” This time, the crowd replied without transmission, responding matter-of-factly.

“Waiter, give a cup of wine to each of the cultivators who responded to me, all on me!” Ye Jingcheng hadn’t waited for the loose cultivators’ reactions before dramatically waving his hand.

As the spirit wine was drunk, conversations in the restaurant increased.

People also inadvertently began inquiring about Ye Jingcheng’s background.

Ye Jingcheng naturally acted as though new to the cultivation realm, letting them eavesdrop on it all.

And Ye Jingcheng also learned about the Profound Cyan Gang’s layout.

This Profound Cyan Market didn’t have a Purple Mansion cultivator overseeing it, and once this news came out, Ye Jingcheng exhaled deeply with relief.

After finishing the feast, Ye Jingcheng burped loudly, then proceeded towards the Profound Cyan Pavilion.

Dining on spiritual cuisine and drinking spirit wine at the restaurant were merely a prelude.

The Profound Cyan Pavilion was where Ye Jingcheng could truly exert influence.

And surprisingly, quite a few cultivators followed him, these being the ones who drank the spirit wine he provided.

They seemed to expect Ye Jingcheng to go to the Xiaoqing Workshop again, hoping to see if Ye Jingcheng would invite cultivators to walk the Immortal Path together once more.

Only, Ye Jingcheng was destined to disappoint them. When he arrived in front of the Profound Cyan Pavilion, more than half of those who followed him dispersed.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t care and directly walked towards the Profound Cyan Pavilion.

“Do you have Tier Two Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts or Tier Two Top-Grade Body Refining Elixirs?” Ye Jingcheng directly asked the Chief Steward, releasing the spiritual might of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This time, the Chief Steward seemed to have been waiting early on.

He promptly led Ye Jingcheng to the second floor.

“Yes, follow me, Daoist friend. We not only have Tier Two Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, but even Tier Two Body Refining Golden Mud is available!” the Chief Steward eagerly replied.

The Body Refining Golden Mud is an excellent treasure, especially valuable to Body Cultivators. Indeed, it can help late-stage Foundation Establishment Body Cultivators break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment.
