Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The golden morning light illuminates the land, and occasionally a few wisps of smoke rise from the mountain range, also glowing under the golden light.

In the clouds, a Spiritual Ship glides swiftly along the golden morning light.

Leaving behind a long trail of mist.

Aboard the Spiritual Ship are Ye Jingcheng, Huang Tiyun, and Xiao Congrong.

Huang Tiyun and Xiao Congrong have landed at the front of the Spiritual Ship, both having tried multiple times to control the ship’s platform.

But unfortunately, this Spiritual Ship is a Tier Four Spiritual Ship, and neither of them can control it at all.

They can only stand beside it, constantly observing, as if wanting to discern the differences between a Tier Four Spiritual Ship and a Tier Two Spiritual Ship.

Ye Jingcheng, meanwhile, remains at the front of the Spiritual Ship’s platform, although his Divine Sense has already drifted far away, observing the mountains, rivers, and towns.

Unlike the mountain ranges on the Eastern Domain frontier, where towns are seldom seen and mostly consist of barren mountains,

here in Xiaoshan Prefecture, the presence of smoke and fire is plentiful, and the bustling morning market is already lively beyond compare, with mortals busy back and forth on the streets.

Apart from mortals, within the respective mountain ranges, there are also many Spirit Mountains containing Spirit Veins.

Some are inconspicuous Spirit Mountains not occupied by any Cultivation Forces, set up by a few Loose Cultivators who create a Concealment Array or Illusion Array, turning it into an unknown and mysterious Immortal Mountain.

Moreover, next to Spirit Mountains, there are also some simple Spirit Fields.

Some Spirit Fields are cultivated day and night by cultivators, while others are still tended by mortals.

At times, Ye Jingcheng wished to see larger Spirit Mountains, but these mountains are mostly covered by even more complex arrays, even the Tier Three Spirit Mountains of the Purple Mansion Clan are difficult for Ye Jingcheng to observe without being detected.

For a moment, his heart was filled with a sense of awe.

“Indeed, it’s much more thriving than the Eastern Domain, with many more Spirit Veins. No wonder the Cultivation Realm here is so strong!”

More mortals create a larger base for cultivators, and more Spirit Veins provide the foundation for cultivators to cultivate.

And unlike the Eastern Domain, there are noticeably more Spirit Fields and Spirit Medicine Gardens here.

From the two days he has flown from Sha Huang Mountain, he has seen at least fifty or sixty types of Spirit Rice.

Among them, Tier One Lower Grade Spirit Rice is the most prevalent; some are inferior to the Ye Family’s Cyan Rice Spirit Rice and Blood Jade Spirit Rice, but some are clearly superior, and the key is that some can even be cultivated by mortals.

Moreover, the yield is remarkably high.

Even Tier Two Spirit Rice, Ye Jingcheng has seen one variety.

Ye Jingcheng is indeed very interested in this kind of Spirit Rice.

After all, Spirit Rice ripens once a year and has a shorter maturation cycle compared to many Spirit Medicines, even if the yield is not high and cultivation is complex, they still have significant advantages.

The Ye Family now emphasizes increasing the clan’s population while nurturing more Spirit Beasts, so it certainly needs to diversify the family’s Spirit Rice types.

“Elder Qianchen, up ahead is Xiaoshan Prefecture’s prefecture city!” Just as Ye Jingcheng was contemplating, Huang Tiyun and Xiao Congrong beside him began to remind Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng also looked carefully, and saw on the wide mountain ridge in the distance, a massive city perched, towering majestically, facing south, emitting a black light, like a giant beast angrily glaring at the Southern Border.

The mountain where the prefecture city is located is naturally Xiaoshan, and near Xiaoshan, there is a vast stretch of continuous peaks.

These peaks are extraordinarily steep, making it almost impossible for mortals to climb.

The Spirit Veins above are not much worse.

But on the surface, they are not as grand and magnificent as Xiaoshan.

“Elder Qianchen, the peak where Xiaoshan Prefecture City is located is Xiaoshan, the ones next to it are Puppet Mountain and Profound Mountain, all controlled by Profound Puppet Sect, and most of the Market as well, managed by them and the Immortal Envoys!”

“Additionally, Elder, you should be aware of two individuals, one is Xiao Wankun, Mansion Master of Xiao Mansion, this person is the most likely to break through to Nascent Soul among the eleven Mansion Masters in Southern Wilderness Province within a hundred years, reportedly already at the Late Stage of Golden Core.”

“The other is the Fourth Elder of Profound Puppet Sect, known as True Master Qian Kui, Jiang Xuanhe…” Huang Tiyun continued to introduce.

Although they gave Ye Jingcheng a Jade Talisman with all this information, after all, it’s the first time they come to a grand event like Xiaoshan Market.

Even though there are no Nascent Soul Cultivators present, there are plenty of Golden Core stage cultivators here, in his opinion, not easily offended, they must be meticulously mindful.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng did not show any displeasure but listened very attentively, Huang Tiyun was relieved.

Sometimes, for cultivators like Huang Tiyun, the most feared situation is not having a disobedient junior, as they can be reprimanded, but if a senior does not listen, there’s truly nothing that can be done.

As they conversed, the three soon flew to the outskirts of the prefecture city market.

Here, many cultivators were already queuing to register for entry.

“Fellow Taoists and seniors, Xiaoshan Prefecture has been infiltrated by many Evil Cultivators and Evil Sects recently, so registering upon city entry is required, please forgive us!”

At the city gate, the guards caught Ye Jingcheng’s attention for a few more glances.

These figures are half Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation Cultivators, half are Spirit Puppets, but these Spirit Puppets are so lifelike, that you can’t distinguish them without careful observation.

Especially one of the Tier Three Spirit Puppets.

This person is wearing cold clothing, his eyes slightly red, seems able to utilize a Spiritual Eye skill that can discern illusions.

Also watching the cultivators coming and going.

“Truly impressive!” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but exclaim.

Indeed, it’s a market controlled by Profound Puppet Sect, a Nascent Soul Sect, Spirit Puppets are utilized everywhere.

“Elder Qianchen, these Spirit Puppets are available for purchase!” Huang Tiyun explained several times beside him.

After speaking, he moved to the side and took out a token.
