Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 878: Chapter 616: Establishing the Guild and Distributing Elixirs

On the table, both Ye Jingteng and Ye Qingshuang were a bit shocked at the moment.

They hadn’t expected that Ye Jingcheng would discuss organizing a business association here with Master Tianzhen and Master Ziyue.

At that moment, Ye Jingcheng took out a Black Zhiyu.

This Black Zhiyu was about two feet long, with a larger mouth and unusually small fins, and the black mushroom patterns on its body were particularly bright.

“To judge the age of the fish, you can look at the scales. The light circles on the scales indicate the age of the fish scales,” Ye Jingcheng said.

Upon closer inspection, everyone could indeed see that there were only two small circles on the fish scales.

This indicated that the Black Zhiyu was less than three years old.

However, from its aura, they could determine it was at the peak of Tier One.

“This fish indeed has the potential to break through to Tier Two!” Master Tianzhen nodded in agreement.

The value of a late-stage Tier One Black Zhiyu could reach three to four hundred Spirit Stones, the peak of Tier One could be about four to five hundred Spirit Stones, and a Tier Two Black Zhiyu could at least reach eight to nine hundred Spirit Stones.

Normally, it was likely to be over a thousand Spirit Stones per fish.

And if it had an Inner Core, it would be valued even higher.

Furthermore, due to the rarity of the Black Zhiyu, the Ye Family could have absolute pricing power over the spiritual fish.

“How difficult is it to cultivate this Black Zhiyu? Is there a significant chance of it breaking through to Tier Two?” Master Tianzhen inquired.

The benefit of the spiritual fish wasn’t just in its price; cultivation was key.

For instance, the Star-Feeding Fish required Spiritual Flesh for feeding, making it costly.

Even if priced high, the profits weren’t significant, and the Star-Feeding Fish was difficult to cultivate and had low reproduction rates.

“Black Zhiyu can be fed with Cyan Rice Spirit Rice; it doesn’t require much. What’s important is whether the bloodline of the spiritual fish is pure, and the reproductive rates are quite decent!” Ye Jingcheng replied.

“Very well!” Without much thought, Master Tianzhen immediately made a decision.

However, after deciding, he exchanged a glance with Master Ziyue before speaking:

“Junior Brother Ye, a seventy percent share might not work; the sect requires eighty percent, and this time Sword Peak will also participate. But rest assured, the cost of spiritual fish can be calculated at the maximum!” Master Tianzhen stated.

“Additionally, each merchant convoy can have the sect’s Purple Mansion lead the team!” Master Tianzhen added.

The merchant convoy for selling Tier Two Black Zhiyu naturally required a Purple Mansion Cultivator, given that the Ye Family seemingly lacked excess Purple Mansion Cultivators.

After a moment’s hesitation, Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement.

Even though it seemed like only a twenty percent share, the Ye Family would gain access to Taiyi Sect’s resources and connections.

Moreover, a Purple Mansion Cultivator from Taiyi Sect helping with the convoy ensures no security concerns.

The most crucial part was that Illusion Peak had involved Sword Peak.

This meant that the Ye Family’s backing became even stronger.

This time, the Jin Family’s issue was naturally resolved.

The only issue was that the Ye Family needed to expand the output of the Spirit Field while Ye Jingcheng had to individually contract a Black Zhiyu to obtain the pill formula for a Tier One Black Zhiyu.

To make the Black Zhiyu break through to Tier Two as quickly and as steadily as possible.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Cheng. Besides the Black Zhiyu, the Ye Family only needs twenty percent of other items!” Ye Jingcheng continued.

The association would not solely sell Black Zhiyu; items like the horn and whip of a Cloud Deer were also worth Spirit Stones, not to mention the Red Fox’s fur and the Golden Scale Beast’s scale armor — none of these were difficult for the Ye Family to acquire.

In fact, if they weren’t worried about exposure, the Ye Family could even sell large amounts of Water Spirit Beads, turtle shells, and Python Hide.

“That’s not a problem. At that time, the sect will provide some treasures for your Ye Family to sell!”

Master Tianzhen then spoke some more, reaching a preliminary cooperation agreement.

After dining for a while longer, Ye Jingcheng escorted Master Tianzhen and Master Ziyue back to their rooms.

Only Ye Qingshuang and Ye Jingteng were left behind.

“Brother, Qingshuang, you’ve both been through a lot lately!” Ye Jingcheng spoke, adopting the tone of the Patriarch.

This caused Ye Jingteng to hesitate a bit, whereas Ye Qingshuang naturally replied:

“The Patriarch is the one who works hard. Qingshuang merely enjoys the benefits of the family; otherwise, I wouldn’t be where I am today!”

Ye Qingshuang’s words were as sensible as always, her character unchanged even in Taiyi Sect.

“How is your Frost Centipede?” Ye Jingcheng asked.

“All is well; it’s now a great asset to my niece, already at the peak of Tier One!” Ye Qingshuang, now at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer with her Frost Centipede, had formidable strength.

“These Spirit Pills are useful for the Frost Centipede; you can try them!” Ye Jingcheng produced two Frost Centipede Pills, which were leftovers from his refining earlier.

His two Frost Centipedes had already broken through to Tier Two, but due to limited potential, he now raised them freely.

“Thank you, Patriarch!” Ye Qingshuang expressed her immense joy.

After glancing at Ye Jingteng and Ye Jingcheng, she took the initiative to leave the room.

Only Ye Jingteng and Ye Jingcheng remained inside.

“Thank you, Brother, for helping gather spirit materials at the sect.”

“Jingcheng, Illusion Peak isn’t doing well currently!” But just as Ye Jingcheng thought Ye Jingteng would once again seek Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, Ye Jingteng grew pessimistic.

“Purple Peak has now gained significant power, and the other four peaks can only band together for support. While things with the Taiyi Three Commanderies are manageable, Purple Peak has taken over more than fifty percent of interests in the Mini World!” Ye Jingteng expressed his concern.

Ye Jingcheng quickly realized why Master Tianzhen agreed so spontaneously!

In the Cultivation Realm of Yan Kingdom, both Taiyi Sect and Tian Dao Sect controlled several Mini Worlds, which, like the Pill Desolate Secret Realm, could be used for cultivating Spirit Medicine, nurturing mortals, and acquiring resources.

Now, Purple Peak has a Nascent Soul and is also channeling resources to support Fairy Linghong.

This naturally left the other four peaks dissatisfied.

And this dissatisfaction could deepen Purple Peak’s control over the four peaks.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng even suspected that the news about Fairy Linghong’s seclusion to break through to Nascent Soul was released by Qinghe Sect, as it seemed Purple Peak also had such motives.

“Brother, Taiyi Sect will always be Taiyi Sect; this will never change until Qinghe Sect collapses!” Ye Jingcheng reaffirmed.

These words startled Ye Jingteng, eventually enlightening him.

Indeed, with external enemies not yet vanquished, Taiyi Sect would never self-destruct. Even if internal strife began, it could be a Blinding Technique.

Thus, Ye Jingteng need not worry about Illusion Peak encountering issues.

If their family truly believed that Taiyi Sect was internally conflicting, then they were short-sighted.

“Jingcheng, I understand. I’ve been somewhat obsessed these days!” Ye Jingteng admitted.

“Brother, how’s your plan with the sect progressing?” Ye Jingcheng inquired.

Ye Jingteng’s plan was to establish a solid position and power within Taiyi Sect.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng’s task was for Ye Qingshuang to become one of the three chief disciples.

This naturally caused Ye Jingteng to blush, as the effort hadn’t been successful.

While Ye Qingshuang was a rare genius in the Ye Family, such Spirit Root Cultivators weren’t uncommon in Taiyi Sect.

Becoming one of the three chiefs was challenging, and given that Ye Qingshuang was from the Ye Family, it was a disadvantage rather than a benefit within the sect.

“Jingcheng, there hasn’t been enough progress yet!” Ye Jingteng hesitated for a moment before admitting.

His eyes dimmed slightly, as his desire for Purple Mansion Jade Liquid remained, regardless of the discussion topic.

However, at that moment, Ye Jingcheng brought out a Jade Box.

The Jade Box contained a portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

Ye Jingcheng currently had two portions of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, one acquired at an auction and another refined using Jiang Jinghe’s Spirit Medicine.

The former had a larger quantity, while the latter was less, but both were effective, as Jiang Jinghe used Purple Mansion Jade Liquid to make a breakthrough.

The portion given was even larger than that given to Jiang Jinghe.

“Brother, I was fortunate to obtain Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, but the family hasn’t prepared for Jing Hu, creating pressures, so both Qingshuang and you are vital to the family!” Ye Jingcheng stated.

At this moment, his voice took on a deeper tone.

It made a strong impression on Ye Jingteng, whose eyes filled with emotion.

The feeling of acquiring something lost is most impactful, especially since Ye Jingcheng’s plans hadn’t yet come to fruition.

“Jingcheng, rest assured, once I break through to Purple Mansion, I will establish stable backing within the sect for the Ye Family, ensuring solid information and trading channels. I swear by a Heavenly Dao Oath!” Ye Jingteng spoke, nearly brought to tears.

To him, his feelings for the family existed, but he had his own path.

Previously, he felt alone in this endeavor.

But now, Ye Jingcheng made him feel supported, proving he wasn’t alone on his journey.
