Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The mountain peaks, towering like clouds, are faintly visible in the misty morning, resembling a sleeping giant from afar.

As the first rays of sunlight at chen shi pierce through the towering mountains, they fall upon Sha Huang Mountain, revealing countless splendid halls.

Cultivators wearing Celestial Sand Sect robes land on the plaza, where a furnace cauldron as tall as three men has already been placed with giant sandalwood inside.

As the Supreme Elder of Celestial Sand Sect, it is naturally Ye Jingcheng who is responsible for lighting the sandalwood.

As the smoke dragon flies into the sky, it is akin to Celestial Sand Sect’s fate, rising like the dragon vine and transforming into a dragon shadow, lingering across the sky, as the dragon roams the four directions!

Cultivators like Huang Tiyun and Xiao Congrong are also solemn at this moment, as this is a ceremony of Celestial Sand Sect, and with this incense, they have no regrets even if they are to die now.

Ye Jingcheng also waved his hand.

”Dong!”

Suddenly, an ancient bell with a long history rang leisurely on the mountain peak, echoing through the clouds, spreading to the nearby area, prompting countless cultivators from the nearby mountain peaks to rise.

Today is the day of Celestial Sand Sect’s ceremony.

Xia Yun also began to rise from Sha Huang Mountain, transforming into splendid five-colored clouds, standing in the void.

At the foot of Sha Huang Mountain, at the entrance of the mountain gate, thousands of people have already gathered here.

”So many people, no wonder it’s Master Qianchen’s ceremony!”

”It’s not just many, there are also quite a few alchemists here. Normally, where could you see so many alchemists? I just wonder if Master Qianchen, as a tier-four middle-grade alchemist, might share some alchemy experiences and techniques during his lecture.”

”Master Qianchen has an extraordinary demeanor, is kind and friendly, and will certainly share his insights, whether much or little. You know, Master Qianchen would not relax even when refining spirit pills for Purple Mansion cultivators, even if they were spirit pills he had never refined before. They will at least have spirit fragrance. Despite Xu Family’s treatment of Master Qianchen, he merely asked for a tier-four spirit mountain!”

...

At this moment, everyone was discussing spiritedly, and some even evaluated Ye Jingcheng’s Celestial Sand Sect as the top Golden Core influence in Xiaoshan Prefecture.

In the cultivation world, the combat power evaluation of a family or sect is mostly based on its pinnacle combat power.

Ye Jingcheng not only retreated safely from Jiayuan Prefecture, but also destroyed Demon Jade Mountain, killed Ghost Rage Zhenren of Gui Xuan Sect, along with previous achievements, there are many rumors that Ye Jingcheng can already compare to the late stage of Golden Core.

Some even believe Ye Jingcheng is a future Nascent Soul seed, given his high talent and status as a tier-four middle-grade alchemist, which naturally merits this honor.

”So many Purple Mansion influences’ Purple Mansion cultivators have already arrived early to wait!”

Besides ordinary cultivators waiting at the mountain gate, there are also some pavilions.

Inside the pavilions, there are some Purple Mansion cultivators waiting.

Normally, Purple Mansion cultivators could come later, without waiting, but Master Qianchen’s status and potential make them anxious to flatter him, no matter their own status.

At the front of the pavilion, those Purple Mansion cultivators were also extremely shocked at this moment.

Some even dared not sit inside the pavilion, because at the very front of the pavilion stood a Golden Core cultivator.

If the Golden Core cultivator hadn’t sat down while waiting here, how could they dare to sit?

This Golden Core cultivator was none other than Duan Chuanyun and Duan Qingtan from the Duan Family.

”Father, aren’t we being too high-profile?” Duan Qingtan couldn’t help but transmit this message.

Duan Chuanyun had broken through not long before, and now less than two months later, having just solidified his breakthrough and cleared his family affairs, he has arrived here.

Many influences in Xiaoshan Prefecture were actually unaware of Duan Chuanyun’s breakthrough.

”Facing Master Qianchen, it’s appropriate to be so, Qingtan. If not for the mystical Gold Condensing Pill from Master at a critical moment, I might have failed!” Duan Chuanyun replied.

With fear still lingering in his eyes, given that the Golden Core realm indeed blocks ninety-nine percent of cultivators.

”Although this Gold Condensing Pill is small in size, it is of excellent quality. I estimate a few were refined, and Master Qianchen even gave our Duan Family a better one. Just waiting here, how can it be considered high-profile? Moreover, now that I am Golden Core, who can judge me in Xiaoshan Prefecture?” Duan Chuanyun exclaimed with great spirit.

He was already planning to hold a Golden Core ceremony for the Duan Family in ten years.

”I just wonder if this tier-three high-grade Cyan Jade Lotus Tea Tree has a slightly low value!” Duan Chuanyun mused with some hesitation.

...

As time passed, the light from the sky became more radiant, as the purple morning sun shone through the white mist.

Revealing the entire Sha Huang Mountain before everyone.

There were already three giant smoke dragons in the sky.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng also flew into the sky, appearing before the crowd:

”The Celestial Sand Sect ceremony is complete, welcome fellow Daoists to enter the mountain for discussions and share in the ceremony.”

As Ye Jingcheng appeared, Ye Family cultivators at the mountain gate, wearing Celestial Sand Sect attire, began recording attendance.

The cultivators responsible for recording and cheerings were none other than Ye Qinghe and Ye Qingming.

Both were very excited to be responsible for recording the applause here.

They also understood that if they hadn’t arrived in the Central Domain earlier, and with Ye Qingwen, Ye Jingting, Ye Qingfeng, and others having already paved the way,

they might not have secured such a position.

Meanwhile, the Qi Cultivation Cultivators began to present their gifts one by one, crossing the mountain gate.

At Sha Huang Mountain, several plazas and pavilions had already been set up, categorizing reception based on the cultivators’ status and cultivation.

The Qi Cultivation Cultivators and Qi Cultivation Influence naturally received no cheers, merely a simple registration.

Only Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Influence would be announced by Ye Qinghe.

”Wu Xuanwen of the Wu Family from East Crow Mountain, congratulates Master Qianchen on the Golden Core Grand Ceremony with the gift of a piece of Tier Two Yellow Cloud Jade!”

”Spirit Fruit Sect of Hundred Fruit Mountain, congratulates Master Qianchen on the Golden Core Grand Ceremony with the gift of a piece of Tier Two Cyan Light Profound Iron!”

...

So many Foundation Establishment Cultivators arrived this time, numbering in the hundreds; the announcements lasted for a full hour.

Then it was time for the Purple Mansion Cultivators.

As a neighbor and vassal of the Celestial Sand Sect, the Zhu Family’s Zhu Quanxian naturally went first.

”Zhu Quanxian of the Zhu Family, congratulates Master Qianchen on the Golden Core Grand Ceremony with the special offering of one Tier Three Vermilion Cloud Treasure Wood, one Tier Three Soul Nourishing Grass, and three jugs of Tier Three Crimson Tear Spirit Wine...”

As the cheers ended, Zhu Quanxian, accompanied by Zhu Quanchen, strode towards the peak.

This scene naturally sparked endless discussion among the cultivators. After all, the Zhu Family’s gift was five to six times more than the usual offerings.

The value was enough to move many Purple Mansion Influences.

Many were curious, but after inquiring, learned that Master Qianchen of the Celestial Sand Sect had saved the Zhu Family. People once again extolled the benevolence of Master Qianchen.

As for the other Purple Mansion Cultivators, many even changed their expressions.

It’s not that they were unwilling to give gifts, but with the Zhu Family’s extravagant offering as a precedent,

they naturally wanted to present better treasures to gain Master Qianchen’s favor and possibly, opportunities for alchemy in the future.

It was as expected when a number of Purple Mansion Cultivators began presenting treasures.

”Ji Chen of the Ji Family from Yongyuan, congratulates Master Qianchen on the Golden Core Grand Ceremony with the offering of one Tier Three Xianyu Flower and one Tier Three Cyan Yuan Fruit!”

...

These initial Purple Mansion Cultivators were not from weak influences; many belonged to established Purple Mansion Influences. Their common trait was that they had all previously received alchemy opportunities from Master Qianchen.

Thus, many instantly realized that the Spirit Pills refined by Master Qianchen must be of extremely high quality.

They were deliberately trying to make an impression on Master Qianchen, hoping to receive an opportunity for alchemy once more.

Upon witnessing this, Ye Jingcheng on Sha Huang Mountain was quite surprised.

Because the gifts from the Purple Mansion Cultivators this time were quite generous, it made him wonder if all cultivators in the Central Domain were so wealthy.

Soon, he realized that many of the Spirit Medicines presented were the Auxiliary Medicines he needed.

It seemed these individuals were eager to obtain an alchemy opportunity from him.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng was also moved.

”Congrong, take note of the cultivators presenting special Spiritual Objects. If they come to post Spirit Pill tasks, they are not subject to the five-year five-task limitation,” Ye Jingcheng transmitted to Xiao Congrong.

These cultivators had sent such generous gifts.

Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn’t be stingy.

He intended to use their commissioned tasks to hone his skills while refining pills.

To see to what extent the breakthrough of the Red Flame Fox and the Five Phase Furnace could enhance his Alchemy Skill.

While Ye Jingcheng transmitted this, the atmosphere at the base of the mountain grew even livelier.

Two quarters later, once the cheers for the Purple Mansion Cultivators and Purple Mansion Influences had concluded, it was the turn of the Golden Core Influences.

Duan Chuanyun of the Duan Family didn’t hesitate to be first.

However, Duan Chuanyun coincidentally encountered Master Zifu.

Apparently, Master Zifu also wished to be the first to congratulate Ye Jingcheng, resulting in an awkward smile between the two. In the end, Master Zifu yielded and let Duan Chuanyun go first!

After all, Master Zifu was at the Middle Stage of the Golden Core, while the Duan Family was considered a newly established family.
