Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The scorching sun blazed down; it was the height of summer.

Sha Huang Mountain had planted many Spirit Nourishing Firs to cultivate its spirit vein.

This kind of fir resembled a poplar somewhat, but it had the effect of gathering spiritual energy and exhaling and inhaling it for a second time. Thus, many Spirit Mountains nurturing promoted spirit veins had planted numerous Spirit Nourishing Firs.

Although the Celestial Sand Sect already had Profound Distant Peak, Sha Huang Mountain also possessed a Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Vein, which was equally worthy of cultivation.

Moreover, it held significant meaning for the Celestial Sand Sect.

As for the Ye Family, Profound Distant Peak was somewhat too close to Xiaoshan Market. Perhaps this was beneficial to ordinary forces, but for the Ye Family, possessing a teleportation array, it felt as if they were being watched.

It was better to develop both mountains cleverly and stably.

Ye Jingcheng’s abode was at the very center of the Sha Huang Mountain Spirit Vein, naturally surrounded by many fir trees.

And a delicate young woman, clad in the Celestial Sand Sect’s Daoist robe, was quietly meditating beneath the fir trees.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, leaving a mottled spirit shadow that fell upon the woman’s body and face.

The faint yellow Daoist robe of the Celestial Sand Sect might appear slightly rustic when worn by ordinary Celestial Sand Sect cultivators, but on this woman, it added a touch of Daoist beauty.

Moreover, the robe seemed slightly small, subtly outlining the woman’s graceful, sculpted figure.

Her eyes were gently closed, revealing long eyelashes that made her features appear more exquisite.

And the person before him was none other than Zhu Wenjing from the Zhu Family.

In the late stage of Foundation Establishment, over seventy years old, she was undoubtedly considered an extraordinary genius within the Zhu Family.

Now standing before the Celestial Sand Sect, clad in the Celestial Sand robe, even if Ye Jingcheng didn’t know the reason, he could guess somewhat.

Ye Jingcheng glanced but did not step forward to inquire.

Instead, he directly took out his Spiritual Ship and flew towards Xiaoshan Market.

After Ye Jingcheng drove the Spiritual Ship away, Zhu Wenjing finally opened her eyes, with a hint of confusion, watching the distant spirit shadow, slightly puffing out her cheeks.

But in the end, as if making a firm decision, she closed her eyes again.

This series of actions naturally fell entirely within Ye Jingcheng’s divine sense.

Yet he still didn’t care, merely a Foundation Establishment girl, unworthy of too much attention.

He directly piloted the Spiritual Ship to rapidly fly away.

After half a day had passed, he finally saw Xiaoshan Prefecture’s outline.

Perhaps it was because of the great success in capturing Jiayuan Prefecture that the number of cultivators at Xiaoshan Market increased again.

The entire market became much more lively.

As Ye Jingcheng entered the city gates, many recognized him, and they all bowed with respects to him as a senior.

Nowadays, Ye Jingcheng was quite famous in Xiaoshan Market, capable of killing Ghost Rage Zhenren of the Gui Xuan Sect, and even breaking Demon Jade Mountain. People even began to vaguely refer to him as the foremost in the Golden Core stage.

Ye Jingcheng naturally shook his head and smiled wryly at this; he had only slain a Middle Stage of Golden Core, nowhere qualified to be called the foremost in Golden Core.

A slightly stronger Late Stage Golden Core cultivator might defeat Ye Jingcheng.

Soon enough, Ye Jingcheng arrived at the Celestial Sand Array Pavilion, where Ye Xingliu was also present, researching Array Jade Talismans.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng arrive, he immediately stood up.

”Third Uncle, I plan to visit the Desert Sea and Eastern Domain this time and wanted to ask you which Tier Four Refiners are in Xiaoshan Prefecture?” Nowadays, Ye Jingcheng’s Profound Light Ship hadn’t been repaired; naturally, he needed to entrust a Tier Four Refiner to fix it.

Although Chu Yanqing and Ye Haicheng’s artifact refining skills weren’t bad, there was a difference between Tier Three and Tier Four Refiner.

”As for artifact refining, the strongest in Xiaoshan Prefecture should be True Master Qian Kui.” Ye Xingliu quickly responded.

Ye Jingcheng nodded, exchanged some pleasantries, and entrusted a few matters.

After all, he planned to visit the Desert Sea and Eastern Domain next.

Lastly, he went to the Celestial Sand Treasure Tower.

Currently, the most carefree person was undoubtedly Xiao Congrong.

Clad in an extremely luxurious Daoist robe, with a radiant face, even some Purple Mansion cultivators treated him with respect.

”Elder Xiao, has the market been profitable in recent years?” Ye Jingcheng frowned slightly.

Anyone who heard this would think it wasn’t a typical inquiry about market shops.

Xiao Congrong might not fully understand Ye Jingcheng’s meaning, but he grasped the tone.

He then set aside his prior leisure, continually serving tea to Ye Jingcheng, opening arrays, and taking out several storage bags, bending down to report.

”Returning to Elder Qianchen, currently income from market shops has increased significantly, up by nearly fifty percent compared to before, though the Celestial Sand Sect struggled with alchemy; otherwise, income would increase further!”

”Elder, the first storage bag contains the spirit medicines you requested; the second contains some fine treasures, which I haven’t directly handed to the sect’s treasure vault, thinking you might need them!”

”The third storage bag contains gifts received over the years from cultivators wanting priority in alchemy requests!”

”These jade talismans follow your instructions; there are ten commissions planned for the next decade, including a commission for Master Zi Fu’s Tier Four Healing Elixir!”

Don’t underestimate Xiao Congrong, who might be unreliable in some matters, yet he excels at receiving gifts.

Especially with spirit pill commissions, Xiao Congrong didn’t just collect gifts; he assessed the rarity of the Spirit Pill Formula and the commonality with Ye Jingcheng’s needed spirit medicines.

Thus, Ye Jingcheng received numerous auxiliary medicines, even acquiring two key herbs for the Tier Four Five-Colored Pill: the Six-Colored Seeking Dao Flower and Heaven Crystal Grass.

With these Seeking Dao Flowers and Heaven Crystal Grasses, the Five-Colored Pill lacked only one main herb.

Furthermore, having obtained the Essence Blood of the Xilu Demon King in the past.

The research into the Five-Colored Pill’s formula obviously needed to be prioritized.

”Mm, well done. However, you must pay careful attention to your cultivation!” Ye Jingcheng nodded, also taking out a bottle of Jade Soul Pills as a reward for Xiao Congrong.

If Xiao Congrong hadn’t performed so well this time, his reprimand would naturally be more stern.

Yet Xiao Congrong truly showed progression, and he seemingly lacked such strong allegiance to the Celestial Sand Sect, unlike Huang Tiyun.

Therefore, weaknesses in his disposition were not regarded as shortcomings.

Naturally, he earned Ye Jingcheng’s encouragement.

After acquiring some spirit medicines and placing some Tier Three Spirit Pills up for sale, Ye Jingcheng left the Celestial Sand Treasure Tower and headed towards Qian Kui Palace.

To his surprise, True Master Qian Kui was already in seclusion.

Although Ye Jingcheng was disappointed, he didn’t linger in Xiaoshan Market. After purchasing a round of treasures, he returned to Sha Huang Mountain.

To his surprise, Zhu Wenjing was still meditating there.

It seemed she truly viewed herself as a disciple of the Celestial Sand Sect.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng continued to ignore this and returned to his abode, hanging up the sign of seclusion. Shortly afterward, he concealed his presence and headed towards the location of the teleportation array.

As the teleportation array lit up, Ye Jingcheng disappeared from the Desert Sea and appeared in the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls.

Over nearly ten years, the Soul-Devouring Insects there had regained numbers, reaching sixty or seventy thousand, forming swarms hovering in the sky.

The only deficiency was the absence of a powerful Insect King.

Even Tier Three Soul-Devouring Insect Great Demons numbered only a mere two or three.

”Jingcheng, are we going to annihilate the Jin Family and the Kong Family this time?” Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng’s arrival, Ye Haisheng couldn’t help but ask.

The Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls was fine, yet as it was all desert, Ye Haisheng had no chance to test his sword.

Over the years, Ye Haisheng had acquired the Sword Nurturing Bottle, and Chenjing had developed well, naturally eager to test his sword in the Eastern Domain.
