Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

”Elder Qianchen has not yet come out of seclusion, but all the arrangements for the ceremony are ready, and the invitations have been sent out on schedule!” In the hall, Ye Jingnan replied one by one.

He also showed the number of invitations sent and the list of invited cultivator families to Huang Tiyun.

Huang Tiyun glanced at it and found that all the forces, big and small, in Xiaoshan Prefecture were invited, even the major families and mansion masters from neighboring Wangqing Prefecture and Red Maple Mansion were invited.

It was done even better than he had imagined.

He nodded and completely relaxed.

Although the cultivators in the sect hall were all brought by Ye Jingcheng, making him feel a bit uneasy, it was all for the sake of the sect, and besides the broader list,

the arrangement of the invitations was also perfectly executed.

All invitations were distinguished by rank and status, with Golden Core Cultivators and Golden Core Sects using jade border invitations, Purple Mansion forces and Purple Mansion Cultivators using gold border invitations, and Foundation Establishment and ordinary forces using silver border invitations.

”Elder Huang, just in time, several palaces built for Golden Core True Masters to rest have been completed. At that time, I hope Elder Huang can check them over.” Ye Jingnan continued.

He then handed over the development situation of the Celestial Sand Sect over the past few years to Huang Tiyun.

Huang Tiyun reviewed it and found that the Celestial Sand Sect had not only added a Tier Three Spirit Mountain, three Tier Two Spirit Mountains, but even a Tier Four Spirit Mountain, which was the Xu Family’s former Clan Mountain, Profound Distant Peak.

He was instantly stunned.

After all, when he entered seclusion, Mansion Master Xiao from the Righteous Sect had not yet delivered the rewards.

He naturally didn’t know about this matter.

”There’s no need to show it to me; if Elder Ye Yan has confirmed it, then it’s fine.” Huang Tiyun thought for a moment before waving his hands repeatedly.

”Besides, I’m getting old, and my thoughts are muddled. Now it’s the world of you young cultivators; after this ceremony concludes, I will enter seclusion to break through to the Purple Mansion, and the sect affairs, I leave to you all to handle diligently!” Huang Tiyun couldn’t help but say.

These words had a deeper implication.

Listening to this, Ye Jingnan appeared visibly regretful.

It’s not that Ye Jingnan didn’t understand the meaning behind it, but that now the Ye Family indeed didn’t need Huang Tiyun to give much guidance.

Huang Tiyun only needed to cultivate peacefully, and in the Celestial Sand Sect, his position was assured.

So Ye Jingnan could only express regret with a nod.

”Rest assured, Elder Huang, we will surely do our utmost for the sect’s development!” Ye Jingnan finally bowed.

”I wonder how Junior Brother Xiao from the sect is doing lately?” Huang Tiyun saw Ye Jingnan’s gesture and understood, pausing for a moment before adding.

”Senior Brother Xiao is quite successful now, having multiplied the sect’s profits several times at Xiaoshan Market, and even some Purple Mansion Cultivators have to give Senior Brother Xiao respect.” Ye Jingnan understood Huang Tiyun’s intention, clearly showing that Huang Tiyun wanted to retain an elder belonging to the sect cultivators to hold some power.

He worried that others might have too many ideas, not understand balance, and be calculated by the Ye Family, ultimately leading to a bad outcome.

But Xiao Congrong was simple-minded and somewhat arrogant, probably exactly what the Ye Family needed.

Thus he smoothly assisted the situation.

Just at this moment, they saw a Spirit Talisman flying from a distance.

It suddenly landed on the Spirit Mountain of Sha Huang Mountain.

Before everyone could grab the Spirit Talisman, it suddenly began to burn.

Finally, it transformed into a line of text.

”Elder Qianchen, Elder Ye Yan, demons have appeared, urgently seeking help!”

This scene left Ye Jingnan shocked, and moments later, Ye Haiyan appeared.

He flew into the high sky and dismantled the array.

Then, they saw a middle-aged cultivator bringing a young cultivator, his face full of grief, hurriedly landing, even directly kneeling in front of them.

”Daoist Zhu, what has happened?” Ye Haiyan asked.

”Elder Ye Yan, may I ask if Elder Qianchen is here? My Zhu Family’s younger daughter, Zhu Wenjing, has been targeted by Mo Huan Valley!” The middle-aged cultivator looked helpless and resentful.

This Mo Huan Valley is not a force of Jiayuan Prefecture but of Demon Pass Mansion, and they mainly practice dual cultivation techniques within their sect.

However, those dual cultivation techniques are not normal gradual practices but rampant plundering.

Especially concerning some loose cultivators and small family cultivators, Mo Huan Valley is notorious, one of the most hatred-inducing forces among the Profound Celestial Demon Sect’s affiliated forces.

Moreover, Mo Huan Valley doesn’t only have Demon Gatherers but also demonesses.

It’s said these demonesses are even more formidable than Demon Gatherers, often catching people off guard.

Some loose cultivators heading to the border of Demon Pass Mansion for treasure hunts, if feeling attractive, will often change their appearance, fearing inadvertently being targeted.

”However, please rest assured, we have Elder Zhu Quanxian, who tested once, and there are only two Purple Mansion Cultivators, which for Celestial Sand Sect is a minor task. But to our Zhu Family, it’s a grace that saves our clan. If the elders agree, our Zhu Family is willing to secretly ally with Celestial Sand Sect, even if it means Zhu Wenjing, should Celestial Sand Sect find no issue in marrying into them, she can even be a concubine!”

Zhu Quanchen spoke helplessly, with a sorrowful face.

To say such words represented that the Zhu Family had indeed reached a dead end.

The name Zhu Wenjing was known not only to Huang Tiyun but even Ye Haiyan had heard of her.

Her beauty was exceptional, ranked among the top ten in Xiaoshan Prefecture.

She was skilled in music.

And possessed enchanting eyes, exceedingly captivating, it was no wonder Mo Huan Valley had targeted her.

”Hmm, I understand!” Ye Haiyan nodded.

Yet he didn’t immediately agree, even as Huang Tiyun was already somewhat tempted, naturally not by Zhu Wenjing’s beauty, but by the prospect of Celestial Sand Sect possibly having a Purple Mansion affiliate in the future.

However, while Huang Tiyun might think this way, Ye Haiyan wouldn’t; for the Ye Family, neither the Zhu Family nor even if something happened to Celestial Sand Sect, the Ye Family would consider it further, let alone an unacquainted Zhu Family.

Moreover, the incident with Zhu Family was somewhat suspicious.

With two opponents at Purple Mansion tier, even if they couldn’t break the array, they would certainly not let any cultivator escape, seeking help from Celestial Sand Sect.

Additionally, knowing Celestial Sand Sect had Ye Jingcheng, to still dare to cause chaos around Sha Huang Mountain.

This becomes even more intriguing.

No one who can cultivate to the Purple Mansion is foolish.

”Master Qianchen is still in seclusion, I’ll go inquire, and also suggest that we first send a message to Xiaoshan Prefecture,” Ye remarked.

”News has already been sent to Xiaoshan Prefecture, but it might be too late!” Zhu Quanchen knew his counterpart was weighing the pros and cons, and it wasn’t quite the moment to speak.

But right now, the Zhu Family really couldn’t wait any longer; the only Golden Core influence nearby was Celestial Sand Sect of Sha Huang Mountain.

If Celestial Sand Sect doesn’t intervene, the support from the cultivators in Xiaoshan Prefecture might arrive too late, and the Zhu Family could have already been destroyed.

”Hmm!” Ye Haiyan responded coldly and headed towards the top of Sha Huang Mountain.

”Elder Ye Yan, the Zhu Family has given gifts to the sect before.” Huang Tiyun sent a transmission message to Ye Haiyan beside him but said no more.

He knew his own weight was light, and his strength was weak.

But he still had to mention this fact.

This concerned the reputation of Celestial Sand Sect, but as for the ultimate decision, he couldn’t and wouldn’t get involved.

...

Within the grotto heaven, on the pavilion, the place was already filled with red radiance, and the Stone Spirit looked anxiously at the sky from afar.

For it, it was quite a strain as gathering Spiritual Radiance was not particularly easy.

Let alone trying to gather around three.

Other than the Spiritual Radiance, all the Spiritual Energy from around was rushing madly towards the pavilion.

Ye Jingcheng sat in the pavilion, eyes tightly shut, but his entire body started to change colors constantly.

The yellow Spiritual Light representing the earth attribute was the most intense, occupying almost half, naturally connected with the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

And at this moment, Ye Jingcheng held a freshly formed Spirit Pill in his mouth.

He was clearly at the critical moment of a breakthrough.

The next instant, as another Grand Circulation of the Five Spirits True Manual was completed, that suction force of Spiritual Energy became even more terrifying, sweeping away all the crimson radiance from the sky.

The Peach Wood Demon and the Red Flame Fox also took a large amount of spring water from the Spiritual Spring beside and poured it over Ye Jingcheng, and even took numerous upper-grade Spirit Stones from the storage bag, placing them within the Spirit Gathering Array.

After an indeterminate amount of time, a massive ripple of Spiritual Energy rolled out towards the surroundings.

Then an even stronger aura pervaded the entire grotto heaven.

The Divine Sense also began to expand wildly.

From a range of fifty-one thousand zhang, it extended to sixty-three thousand zhang.

”Finally broke through!” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but mutter, clenching his fists to feel the rich True Essence throughout his body, instantly filled with joy.

After reaching the Golden Core realm, each small tier gap was immensely significant.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng felt that the version of himself at the early stage of the Golden Core might not even be a match for five of himself right now.

Whether in terms of the quantity or quality of True Essence, the difference was colossal.

Furthermore, Ye Jingcheng introspected within himself, able to see the Black Tortoise Spirit Shadow and Vermilion Bird Spirit Shadow inside his Five-Colored Golden Core had also grown considerably.

This clearly indicated progress in the power of his Divine Techniques.

”Congratulations, Master!”

...

After Ye Jingcheng surveyed the area and slightly adapted, the Peach Wood Demon and the other Spirit Beast Wood Demons all began to celebrate.

Even the Spring Spirit and Golden Quenching Fruit Wood Demon, both with greatly enhanced Spiritual Wisdom, mingled in to joyfully congratulate him.

Of course, the Peach Wood was particularly extravagant in its congratulations.

Phrases of congratulations came in a set after set.

Finally, Ye Jingcheng raised his hand to stop them.

When all the beasts stopped, Ye Jingcheng began to distribute the Spirit Pills and Treasure Light.

Over these two years, he spent more time in seclusion than ever before, yet breaking to the middle stage of the Golden Core, though seemingly at a mere arm’s length, required a significant amount of time.

Even the Treasure Light Spirit Pills he distributed became less, and these Spirit Beast Wood Demons had long awaited his breakthrough and exit.

”Peach Wood, Crimson Flame, well done, you each get an extra page of Treasure Light!” Ye Jingcheng looked towards the Red Flame Fox and Peach Wood.

During his breakthrough, he never expected that because of two beasts breaking through to the fourth tier, the grotto heaven’s Spiritual Energy became somewhat insufficient, almost resulting in a shortage.

Ultimately, it was these two demons’ quick handling that ensured his successful breakthrough.

”Yip!” The Red Flame Fox squinted lazily with its eyes at the praise.

Under the Treasure Light, the fire furnace at its brow grew even hotter.

Ye Jingcheng even had a fleeting thought of using this furnace for alchemy, but soon shook his head.

This Celestial Fox Fire Furnace was extremely high in temperature, fearing that any Spirit Medicine would turn to ashes as soon as it entered.

Having tended to the Red Flame Fox, Ye Jingcheng then fed the Peach Wood.

He was surprised to find that the Peach Wood was only a few years away from producing another peach.

”Not bad, no one slacked off!” Ye Jingcheng checked the cultivation and strength of the demons briefly, then nodded.

The Peach Wood Demon and Stone Spirit, although still at the late stage of the third tier, were not far from the peak of the third tier, and the Golden Glowing Malachite Stone Spirit and Star Pear Wood had also reached the late stage of the third tier.

Even the Roc Fish and White-Browed Cyan Wolf in seclusion were crazily absorbing Spiritual Energy, and in a few months, both beasts might respectively break through to the fourth tier and becoming figures like a Demon King!
