Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The Cyan Locust Hall is easy to find, just follow the Cyan Puppet Tree, and the largest hall is the Cyan Locust Hall.

Moreover, there are not many buildings around the Cyan Locust Hall, so it can be seen at a glance.

The Cyan Locust Hall is built entirely with Cyan Light Stone, emitting a cold light, and the plaque bears inscriptions by a Great Power. Even when Ye Jingcheng glanced at it, he couldn’t help but feel startled, as if he saw a cyan-robed figure turning their back on the world in the void.

Looking a few more times, he felt as if the figure was about to turn around, causing his eyes to start hurting, and he had to turn away.

”Don’t look too much. This was written by True Monarch Qing Wang, who attained the Dao at Wangqing Prefecture,” Master Zi Fu kindly explained.

Hearing the name of True Monarch Qing Wang, even Ye Jingcheng was momentarily stunned. His name is prominent throughout the Southern Wilderness Province, and he is now a Great Cultivator, being one of the most promising cultivators of the Righteous Sect to achieve the title of Divine Monarch.

”It’s said that this plaque can withstand three attacks from a True Monarch!” Feng Daoran beside him exclaimed.

Ye Jingcheng naturally did not doubt this; just now when he tried to look back, he felt that if he didn’t turn his gaze away, he might be suppressed to death by the figure.

This feeling was not just slight but extremely intense, given that now he felt confident resisting an attack or two from a typical Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator!

A few people arrived in front of the Cyan Locust Hall, and two Foundation Establishment Guards greeted them and invited them inside without asking for tokens or checking their identities.

Ye Jingcheng naturally felt indifferent about this, but he noticed the other people’s faces were somewhat gloomy.

It was as if there might be bad news inside the Cyan Locust Hall.

”The previous conferences weren’t held in the Cyan Locust Hall, so there must be some action coming!” Seeing Ye Jingcheng’s puzzled expression, Master Zi Fu transmitted his voice again to Ye Jingcheng.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng immediately understood. The only benefit of this hall is its secrecy, preventing outside detection!

Evidently, it’s related to the actions following the conference.

Xu Qiukui, however, seemed extremely excited at this moment.

He had long wanted to act against Nanman Province, and this Golden Core Conference was exactly to his liking.

”There’s great depth within this Cyan Locust Hall!” But seeing the other people’s faces weren’t as good, Xu Qiukui also looked at Ye Jingcheng.

After all, the one who knew the least here was Ye Jingcheng, and with Ye Jingcheng’s combat power not weak, he still wanted to recruit Ye Jingcheng to act together with him.

Amidst laughter, the group with their own thoughts entered the Cyan Locust Hall.

The doors of the Cyan Locust Hall were extremely special, and Ye Jingcheng felt the sensation of crossing boundaries similar to his grotto heaven.

This Cyan Locust Hall clearly held a Secret Realm Grotto Heaven inside.

Moreover, whether it was an illusion or not, he felt a powerful Divine Sense sweeping over his body.

Upon entering the grotto heaven, he saw twenty pavilions forming a large circle.

Inside the pavilions were tables and four chairs each.

On the tables were Spirit Fruits, Spiritual Cuisine, and prepared Spirit Tea, while in the open space in the center stood a larger pavilion.

Three large characters prominently fell upon the pavilion.

”Treasure Display Pavilion!”

The pavilion was empty, but the pavilions on the outside held quite a few people.

Some occupied the pavilions alone, while others were in groups of three or four.

Some sat in meditation, others laughed and chatted, their expressions varied.

Ye Jingcheng also saw Shan Kui True Master and another green-robed elder sitting in a pavilion.

But he didn’t see True Master Qian Kui inside the pavilion.

After scanning around, he finally saw Xiao He quietly meditating in a nearby pavilion.

In Xiao He’s pavilion, surprisingly, there were also three Purple Mansion Cultivators, all evidently representing the presence of Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng swept through the scene and found forty-two Golden Core cultivators were present, along with over ten Purple Mansion cultivators.

Thus forming this Golden Core Conference.

The High-Tier cultivators were fewer than Ye Jingcheng expected.

Xiaoshan Prefecture sent five True Masters, not counting the cultivators of Profound Puppet Sect.

Southern Wilderness Province had eleven mansions, and under the Righteous Sect’s jurisdiction were six continents, adding up to hundreds of Golden Core cultivators.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng estimated that some Golden Core Cultivators who weren’t adjacent to Nanman Province might not have come.

Or perhaps Wangqing Prefecture didn’t invite that many Golden Core True Masters this time.

Of course, despite how much Ye Jingcheng pondered, he couldn’t come up with an answer, mainly due to his limited understanding of the Southern Wilderness Province’s powers, relying on information previously gathered by Celestial Sand Sect and Ye Xingliu’s investigations over the past few years.

Celestial Sand Sect itself was merely a small Purple Mansion influence before.

Ye Xingliu had also only been here for less than three years.

The group chose two adjacent pavilions, with Ye Jingcheng and Master Zi Fu engaging in He Yu Dual Cultivation in one pavilion.

Feng Daoran wanted to join Ye Jingcheng and the others, but due to limited seating, he hesitated for a moment before sitting with Xu Qiukui in the neighboring pavilion.

”Feng Daoist, you don’t know, but I have news here...” Xu Qiukui, seeing Feng Daoran with him, started transmitting his voice again.

...

Ye Jingcheng didn’t pay much attention to Xu Qiukui, instead examining the pavilion.

He found the stone table on the table wasn’t ordinary.

On it lay a special Spirit Disc, which felt somewhat resembling a Teleportation Array.

This scene left Ye Jingcheng stunned.

At the same time, he inspected the place and found that this pavilion was somewhat unusual.

”This is a special Teleportation Pavilion. With this pavilion, cultivators can be teleported out. The Spirit Disc in the middle can transmit treasures to the central Treasure Display Pavilion, and similarly, the central Treasure Display Pavilion can send treasures to any pavilion. This is to prevent disputes between Golden Core cultivators. If a cultivator wishes to remain anonymous, there is a Spirit Shield on the pavilion to conceal information within, so that when the treasures are successfully exchanged, no one knows whose treasures were exchanged.” True Master Zi Fu, seeing Ye Jingcheng still examining, explained.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng didn’t expect the Golden Core Conference in this Central Domain to be so intriguing.

This Teleportation Pavilion further broadened Ye Jingcheng’s horizons.

”Moreover, if Purple Mansion cultivators exchanged treasures, they could also teleport out using the Teleportation Array. Of course, you need to insert five upper-grade Spirit Stones here!” True Master Zi Fu pointed to a groove on the table.

”This Teleportation Pavilion can randomly teleport up to dozens of miles away; however, this time, within the Secret Realm, it probably won’t work!”

”Thank you for clarifying, Zi Fu Daoist!” Ye Jingcheng repeatedly bowed his thanks.

”Qianchen Daoist, no need to be so formal. Now, Xiaoshan Prefecture is weak, and our sects should support each other. Unfortunately, this old man just has a few more years of wisdom, not much else.” True Master Zi Fu spoke self-mockingly, revealing a mutual support intention.

”Indeed!” Master Yu Yun and Lady He both nodded continuously.

”Why not form an alliance this time, not only to tackle this matter, but even if there’s future retaliation, there’s no worry?”

Everyone’s gaze turned to Ye Jingcheng.

After all, a Tier Four Middle-grade Alchemist is naturally worth befriending.

They also saw that now was the starting time for the Celestial Sand Sect. Befriending Ye Jingcheng now could lead to immeasurable future benefits.

”Naturally, I’m also worried this time!” Ye Jingcheng thought for a while and agreed.

Although hastily arranged, the alliance had no downside for the Celestial Sand Sect and the Ye Family.

The value Ye Jingcheng exhibited now as an Alchemist could earn him quite a bit if the sects commissioned him for alchemy.

Even venturing into Nanman Province, having some seasoned Golden Cores with Ye Jingcheng meant much safer travels.

After all, he didn’t want to expose the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor too early.

Considering just the development of strength, several families fared better than the Celestial Sand Sect and could help it significantly.

Even in the future, there might be opportunities for cooperative ventures.

After simply confirming the alliance information, True Master Zi Fu happily continued to introduce Ye Jingcheng.

”That is Master Shuide of Tianshu Mansion, a Water Spirit Root genius less than two hundred years old and in the Late Stage of the Golden Core!”

”In the distance is Xuanyuanzi of Profound Heart Mansion, also a recently risen talent. Originally a loose cultivator, he founded the Profound Origin Sect in recent years. Thirty years ago, it was said he was not far off in battling a Late Stage Golden Core!”

...

True Master Zi Fu’s introduction was very detailed, allowing Ye Jingcheng to learn many secretive insights.

These pieces of information were inaccessible to the Celestial Sand Sect.

the Celestial Sand Sect’s information was limited to Xiaoshan Prefecture’s Wangqing Prefecture and Central Mansion.

But in the Southern Wilderness Province, there are as many as eleven prefectures.

”Fellow cultivators, I am Wang Ke Wei, also the initiator of this Golden Core Conference!” At this moment, an elder appeared in the middle pavilion amid a burst of white light.

It was the Mansion Master Wang whom Ye Jingcheng visited days ago.

As he appeared, a Spirit Shield began to form around the pavilion, protecting all the cultivators present.

Moreover, a large part of the pavilions became enveloped in Spiritual Light, completely obscuring their interiors.

”Unfortunately, many fellow cultivators are in seclusion this year, so there are fewer cultivators at today’s conference.” The words now came from the Spirit Disc on the table, transmitted from outside the pavilion.

”However, the rules remain the same: barter exchanges, with a commission of either five thousand Spirit Stones or five percent of the treasure’s value upon trading completion!”

”Of course, this time, I won’t be the first to present treasures but will be the last to contribute, sharing mysterious treasures with everyone!” Wang Ke Wei spoke with a smile.

Then he shimmered for a moment before vanishing from the central Treasure Display Pavilion.

As Wang Ke Wei disappeared from the center pavilion, the Spirit Disc in the middle first displayed three treasures.

A voice also emitted from the Spirit Disc.

”What I’ve brought are the Elemental Realm Stone, Three-Star Fruit, and Tier Four Hundred-Forged Geng Gold!”

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t discern whose treasures these were, and some other pavilions were visibly shielded by Spirit Shields, while none visibly exchanged, leaving no trace of who was trading.

Even the voice had changed.

However, just hearing these three treasures made Ye Jingcheng feel the trip wasn’t in vain.

The Elemental Realm Stone is nothing else but one of the Stone Square main materials of the Tier Four Grotto Heaven Stone Spirit.

It also relates to space and can be used in refining Secret Realm type Magical Artifacts and Treasures.

And both the Three-Star Fruit and Hundred-Forged Geng Gold are rare treasures.

The former is the main material for the Golden Core cultivation spirit medicine, the Three-Star Pill, while the Hundred-Forged Geng Gold can serve as a Tier Four Lifebound Magical Treasure Flying Sword.

Ordinary Flying Swords with mere increments could cut through iron like mud, making the Body Cultivators particularly wary of Flying Swords refined from such spirit materials.

”I only exchange my treasures for Defense Type Magical Treasures or Escape Type Tier Four Spirit Talismans!” The elder’s voice continued to resonate.

Clearly, he was also preparing for future actions!
