Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

In the hall, even though the Dan Discussion was nearing its end, the group of Alchemy Masters still felt somewhat unwilling to part.

This type of exchange in alchemy methods was far superior to their own painstaking research by countless measures.

Some even closed their eyes on the spot, seemingly digesting everything they’d just absorbed.

Meanwhile, Master Qianque had taken out the three treasures previously agreed upon.

Jingcheng and the others were then invited to step forward one by one to claim their Dan Discussion rewards.

The elder of the Talisman Pill was naturally at the forefront, with Jingcheng second, followed by a lean, dark-faced man.

The elder chose the Gold Condensing Pill, and Jingcheng naturally selected the pill formula for the Three Elements Cyan Condensing Pill.

This counted as preparing another hand for his future breakthrough into the Nascent Soul.

Although the Five Spirits True Manual already had a very strong effect on the condensation of Spiritual Energy, and his True Essence was far stronger than that of an average person, breaking through to the Nascent Soul was considered the watershed of the Cultivation Realm, stopping countless talented geniuses at its doorstep.

Having more preparations always seemed more prudent.

”Alright, fellow cultivators, the Dan Discussion has ended, and next we have a small trading session. I hope you all examine the treasures carefully. Our sect does not charge any fees, naturally we shall not bear responsibility for the treasures’ authenticity, hence this prior notification,” Master Qianque announced.

He then presented two jade bottles and a pill furnace.

In each jade bottle, there was only one Spirit Pill; one shone with a golden glow, resembling a Golden Core, while the other exhibited multicolored hues, beautifully radiant.

”These two Spirit Pills are the Little Golden Returning Pill and the Spiritual Supplement Pill, respectively. The former offers a certain chance to cultivators with Lower and Middle Grade Golden Cores to reforge their core to Middle or Upper Grade levels, and the latter enhances a cultivator’s Spiritual Root Affinity. Of course, each of these elixirs can be taken only once!” announced Master Qianque.

Upon this revelation, Jingcheng was astounded by the marvelous effects of these two Spirit Pills, to be honest, he was somewhat tempted.

His Spiritual Root wasn’t particularly great, and the Spiritual Supplement Pill could certainly improve some of his talents.

As for the Little Golden Returning Pill, though he did not require it, within the family, there would always be someone in need.

In time, as more members of the Ye Family form Golden Cores, those forming above Middle Grade will remain a minority.

”This furnace is called the Cyan Smoke Furnace, a Tier Four High Grade treasure. All three treasures are to be exchanged exclusively for Tier Four Dragon Saliva Grass and Tier Five Jade Essence Lotus.”

Upon hearing the exchange conditions, Jingcheng’s interest in the three items vanished entirely.

The former, Dragon Saliva Grass, was an auxiliary medicine for crafting Tier Five Jade Qilin Pills, and Tier Five Jade Essence Lotus was even rarer than the Heartless Phoenix Wood and Profound Rain Bronze Seed that Jingcheng sought to collect.

Predictably, Master Qianque could not manage to make any exchanges.

Ultimately, he regretfully took out the Cyan Smoke Furnace, opting to trade for some ordinary Tier Four Spiritual Medicines, which this time succeeded.

Since Jingcheng owned a Five Phase Furnace, which was no less than the Cyan Smoke Furnace, he made no offer.

The subsequent trading session left Jingcheng somewhat disappointed as well, with no luck in gathering the two medicines related to Peach Wood. The sole gain was acquiring a Tier Three Spirit Material in the form of a Tier Four Stone Block.

One might say it was as if for nothing.

As Jingcheng exited the courtyard, Master Qianque also transmitted a message towards him.

The latter hinted at an interest in the Five Elements Spirit Fire, which Jingcheng hesitated over briefly before refusing.

Even when offered the Spiritual Supplement Pill and the Little Golden Returning Pill in exchange.

His Five Elements Spirit Fire was critical to the power of the Red Flame Fox, understanding its properties made a world of difference.

During alchemy, others might not see what was happening, but it didn’t mean someone wouldn’t figure it out when given the chance to study it.

Jingcheng then exited the palace and headed towards the outer perimeter of Tianshu Market.

Like Xiaoshan Market and Wangqing Market, the Teleportation Arrays were located outside the markets.

The Teleportation Array of Tianshu Market was situated by the Tianshu Lake behind Tianshu Mountain.

With no need for directions at this point, one could see a number of cultivators flying in from the direction of the Teleportation Array, adding much vitality and bustle to the Tianshu Market.

Jingcheng flew to the side of Tianshu Lake, where a small city had been constructed, encircling numerous Teleportation Arrays within.

With all Arrays active, one could see the Teleportation Arrays continually lighting up, with cultivators constantly appearing on them.

Jingcheng counted roughly twenty or so Teleportation Arrays in the distance, which could certainly be considered a major hub on the border.

Having inquired about it, he learned that the Teleportation Array could transport twenty to fifty people at a time, making even one transmission highly lucrative.

After a quick inspection, Jingcheng flew back to the portable palace.

Upon returning to the palace, Jingcheng took out a Jade Talisman and began studying his routes.

The Jade Talisman given by Mansion Master Xiao contained over twenty trade fairs and auctions. Given the widespread availability of Teleportation Arrays in the Central Domain, he could visit some more popular markets for opportunities. There were many points to note, and ways to improve efficiency therein.

After two days of research, Jingcheng sensed the arrival of a Sound Transmission Talisman and flew out of the palace, finally landing on a small hill outside the market, handing a Jade Talisman to Xue Fan, who at that moment was disguised as a Celestial Sand Sect Cultivator.

”Thank you, Fourth Great Uncle!” Jingcheng transmitted his message before flying back to the palace.

Xue Fan then flew to a secluded area, changed his identity, and entered the Teleportation Array.

...

Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, Cyan Cloud Sect, Back Mountain.

With a wave of unsettling aura emitting, Ye Haige couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”Finally, I have broken through to the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion!” Ye Haige stretched, his whole body crackling.

Ye Haige first took out his few Wind Wolf species and carefully nurtured them for a while.

Subsequently, stepping out of the room, Ye Haige saw the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman left behind, which prominently listed some spirit medicines needed by Ye Jingcheng.

”After being in seclusion for so long, it’s just right to attend some sea region auctions and trade fairs to relieve my boredom!” murmured Ye Haige.

Now, several decades have passed since the chaos of the Heavenly Horse, and the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain has returned to stability. Ye Haige no longer needed to be as apprehensive as before when traveling.

Soon, he reached the main hall of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

There, An Yuhuai was handling sect affairs.

”Elder Ye.” Although An Yuhuai was quite proud when facing members of the Cyan Cloud Sect, he was very humble and compliant with the Ye Clan members.

This was firstly because the Ye Clan had placed a forbidden array on him, and secondly, because the Ye Clan promised that if his sect contribution points reached five hundred thousand, they would reward him with a portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

For An Yuhuai, this was a boon worth risking his life for.

”How many spirit stones does the sect have left?” Ye Haige asked.

”Currently, there are seven hundred thousand spirit stones available for use.”

”I will take five hundred thousand spirit stones, and I also want to take any spirit medicines of tier three and above!” Ye Haige stated.

”Elder Ye, this requires the second elder’s approval as all treasures are under his custody,” An Yuhuai said anxiously.

Just as Ye Haige was about to leave, Ye Xuefu walked in.

”They’re all here.” Ye Xuefu naturally knew long ago that Ye Haige intended to exchange for spiritual objects and had already made preparations.

...

Eastern Domain, Yan Kingdom.

At the Tian Dao Sect, Tian Dao True Monarch also gathered all the Nine Peaks Golden Core cultivators, assembling them in the grand hall of the First Peak.

At this moment, all the Golden Core cultivators were somewhat puzzled.

They didn’t know what Tian Dao True Monarch’s actions signified.

Some of the uninformed Golden Core cultivators even felt a bit sorrowful, thinking that Tian Dao True Monarch’s lifespan was nearly over and he was preparing to fight a bloody battle with the Qinghe Sect.

However, Master Mo Dao knew a bit but naturally kept silent at this moment.

”I’ve found an alternative medicinal recipe and need your efforts to find these two spirit medicines for me!” Tian Dao True Monarch spoke.

He then took out a jade talisman, upon which were the images of two spirit medicines.

They were precisely the Heartless Phoenix Wood and the Profound Rain Cyan Phoenix Wood.

”Willing to serve you, respected uncle!” Upon hearing that it was only about finding spirit medicines, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In their view at the moment, as long as it wasn’t a battle, it was acceptable.

Otherwise, if they were to truly confront the Qinghe Sect, their chances of victory seemed slim.

”Besides searching in the Eastern Domain, instruct the disciples to pay close attention as well!” Tian Dao True Monarch added.

Previously, he had worried about the difficulty of obtaining tier four Earth Flood Dragon Blood, but now switching to these two spirit medicines, although still rare, he felt confident that as a Nascent Soul Sect, even if they couldn’t obtain both, at least acquiring one was possible.

”Uncle, aside from the task of seeking medicine, is there anything else?”

”No, everyone should strive on your own!” Tian Dao True Monarch said.

He then waved his hand, and the meeting, which was ordered a month in advance, ended so lightly that many True Masters were momentarily stunned.

...

Qinghe Sect, Yanhui Commandery.

True Monarch Beihai also withdrew all cultivators.

”Tian Dao Sect has withdrawn all Golden Core True Masters this time. Tian Dao True Monarch is likely nearing the end of his lifespan. At this time, we should make some concessions and by no means engage in a bloody battle with the other party!” True Monarch Beihai said.

The Golden Core cultivators of the Qinghe Sect also nodded.

At this moment, they were extremely apprehensive, fearing that the lunatics of the Tian Dao Sect would recklessly use the Life-Burning Blade Technique.

They considered temporary retreat to be a wise move.

They were also concerned that True Monarch Beihai might order them to stand on the front lines.

Master Xi Wang’s mysterious and unclear death back then made them cherish their lives even more now.

...

Taiyi Sect, Taichang Mountain Range, inside the Purple Extreme Hall.

Zitian True Monarch and Zi Ming True Monarch also gathered here.

”What is going on with the Tian Dao Sect?” Zi Ming True Monarch’s face was full of confusion.

After all, in his expectations, Tian Dao True Monarch should be able to endure this period of time, at least until the Earth Immortal Realm opened, to try his luck inside.

But now that the Tian Dao Sect has gathered so many Golden Core cultivators, it clearly indicated their end was imminent.

”Send someone to the Celestial Blade Four Commanderies to investigate thoroughly. If the Qinghe Sect launches a major offensive, we must aid them at the first opportunity!”

”Additionally, relay the order to the Ye Clan, having them also make the necessary preparations.”
