Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The location where the Righteous Sect gathers is not far from where Ye Jingcheng was conveyed, nor is it far from the Cyan Elephant Mountain Secret Realm.

This is obviously to ensure that all the cultivators of the Righteous Sect know this place, chosen as the location where everyone is transmitted.

For Ye Jingcheng, he was also more pleased to see this, in a familiar place, he can feel a bit more at ease.

Along the way, Ye Jingcheng deliberately made a detour so that for Ye Xuecang, Ye Xuefan, and others, it would be much safer. After all, even the Righteous Sect isn’t completely trustworthy.

What puzzled him was that there are already very few cultivators moving around in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Moreover, Nascent Souls and groups of Golden Cores have begun to appear, seeking out solitary cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng nearly encountered them several times, but fortunately, they started to argue and were in the midst of magical combat, and the Jade Ring Rat forewarned him, so he concealed his form and breath, narrowly avoiding trouble.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng secretly transmitted a message to Ye Xuecang and others using the clan token.

Although the Cyan Elephant Mountain Secret Realm is close to the outskirts, encountering these searching cultivators may still lead to discovery.

Thus, even though the Ye Family already has ten arrays, it’s better to arrange a few more to be more secure.

Originally, Ye Jingcheng intended to take several rounds, but after sensing the tense situation in the Earth Immortal Realm, he gave up, ultimately circling only half a round before arriving at the Secret Realm of the Righteous Sect.

This is a massive Cyan Jade Lake, with the surface water as gentle and delicate as cyan jade, reflecting the Cyan Mountains on both sides, appearing like emerald stone shadows swaying within.

And the Secret Realm entrance is within one of the Cyan Mountain shadows on the lake surface.

When Ye Jingcheng appeared on the lake surface, took out the jade talisman mirror for transmission, ripples began to emerge steadily across the lake.

Two Daoist-robed cultivators emerged from the void, one wearing a golden crown and a jade belt, unmistakably Prince Wang, while Ye Jingcheng could not name the other, though he had seen him at the Righteous Sect.

Also a disciple of the Righteous Sect.

”Prince Wang!” Ye Jingcheng bowed repeatedly.

”Qianchen Daoist, Junior Brother Xiao still told me that your crisis was not small this time. Yet, I believe the Daoist can turn danger into safety. Now that I see, the Daoist indeed has remarkable divine techniques!” Prince Wang couldn’t help but speak, initially being somewhat serious but finally relaxing after examining around.

Judging by his expression, it seems that the Righteous Sect suffered not a small loss at that time.

”Fortunately escaped a life, these nearly five months have been devoted to healing.” Ye Jingcheng spoke, a bit of fear showing on his face as well.

”Qianchen Daoist came just in time. Inside the Secret Realm, quite a few cultivators are trading. With the Daoist’s alchemy talent, who knows, you might earn a significant amount!” Prince Wang smiled.

This remark left Ye Jingcheng somewhat puzzled.

But Prince Wang did not continue talking; instead, he led Ye Jingcheng towards the Secret Realm. Of course, when entering the Secret Realm, there was also a mirror that reflected onto Ye Jingcheng, and after confirming nothing was unusual, both entered the Secret Realm.

Different from what Ye Jingcheng imagined.

At this moment, the Secret Realm has already become a small market.

There are shops, stalls, and buildings available for seclusion and cultivation.

Most of the Golden Cores have gathered here; Ye Jingcheng feels as if he has entered a market.

”The sect does not prevent cultivators from trading in advance. Regardless of profit, as long as sufficient tax is paid at the end, it is alright!”

”Even if a Pill Master like Qianchen Daoist refines spirit medicine into a spirit pill and swallows it, the sect will not interfere,” Prince Wang did not conceal.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng’s eyes lit up involuntarily.

Not because of the spirit pill matter, but because of trading.

After all, in the Earth Immortal Realm, the abundance and rarity of good spirit medicine are immense. Even though the Ye Family has gained substantially this time, there are still some spirit medicines not found.

If transactions can be done here, it would indeed be an exciting affair.

The Righteous Sect only takes four-tenths of spiritual herbs and treasures, demanding special terms for Tier Five Spiritual Medicine, while Tier Four Spiritual Medicine, unless it is extremely rare, allows the cultivator to choose what to submit voluntarily.

For instance, the Supreme Wood Spirit Object Deer Origin Leaf that Ye Jingcheng previously retained, he can freely choose to keep it, using other spiritual objects to offset the portion.

”This is the small building arranged for you, equipped with a pill room, and the spiritual energy is still decent!” Seeing it at the end of the street, Prince Wang pointed to a courtyard.

This courtyard is merely two stories, constructed simply without extravagance, but just the fame that the Righteous Sect builds a building for him is already a high honor for Ye Jingcheng.

This is a heavenly face advantage.

Furthermore, presently the two are not using the Concealment Array, allowing other Golden Cores to discover it.

”Prince Wang, this leaves me somewhat flattered.” Ye Jingcheng waved his hand.

He looked around; on the street outside, many Golden Cores casually built wooden houses, arranged arrays, and managed to get by.

”Compared to your reminder, no kindness is excessive!” Prince Wang shook his head.

Clearly, it was because of Ye Jingcheng’s disciples’ gathering a few months ago, and his warning of ambushed cultivators.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng also became more certain about the cultivator carrying the secret treasure at the time.

”By the way, my uncle wants to see you, Qianchen Daoist should seize the opportunity,” Prince Wang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but feel puzzled inside, starting to recall these recent actions.

Though nowadays he has killed quite a few Nascent Souls.

But he remains cautious when facing Nascent Souls, not daring to be careless.

”Junior Uncle hasn’t emerged from seclusion yet. I’ll contact you once he does!” Mansion Master Wang said, then bid farewell and left, not even having the time to drink spiritual tea.

Inside the secret realm, apart from where Nascent Soul cultivators reside on Spirit Mountain, there are no restrictions on the movements of cultivators elsewhere.

Ye Jingcheng was free to roam.

Ye Jingcheng first returned to his building and set up several arrays, then settled the Jade Ring Rat inside.

In the Earth Immortal Realm, the Jade Ring Rat’s role was growing ever significant, and Ye Jingcheng habitually let the Jade Ring Rat stay nearby.

After all, many in the cultivation realm have deep defenses against divine sense, yet their defenses against auditory and rhythmic sensing are not as flawless.

Once everything was arranged, Ye Jingcheng finally freed his divine sense to observe the entire secret realm streets.

There were approximately seventy to eighty Golden Core cultivators inside the secret realm.

Considering those hiding in other secret realms, Ye Jingcheng estimated that only a little over a hundred righteous sect cultivators might survive this trip to the Earth Immortal Realm.

And to know, this time, the cultivators entering the Earth Immortal Realm, including Nascent Soul cultivators, numbered nearly three hundred.

The loss of cultivators exceeded fifty percent, even sixty percent.

And remember, this wasn’t Foundation Establishment Purple Mansion cultivators but Golden Core cultivators, which in any place could establish a sect and become its patriarch.

Ye Jingcheng preferred to think this was the reason many hadn’t come.

As Ye Jingcheng was observing, a spirit talisman drifted in, landing in front of his pavilion.

He exited the building, and there stood Feng Daoran.

When they first met, Feng Daoran was spirited, riding a three-headed lion, exuding great might.

Now he appeared so different; his hair was disheveled, and he seemed aged, his face full of dismay.

”Qianchen Daoist,” Feng Daoran greeted with a bow.

”Feng Daoist, please come in,” Ye Jingcheng replied, bowing in return.

Feng Daoran glanced at Ye Jingcheng’s building and watched as Ye Jingcheng casually poured spirit tea, feeling more nostalgic.

”Qianchen Daoist, Lady He and her junior brother are gone.” Feng Daoran finally spoke.

At these words, the image of Lady He flashed in Ye Jingcheng’s mind, though he knew clearly.

Lady He probably had slim chances to escape, as she was indecisive, still attempting to save people in the secret realm.

”My spirit beast also died, and the spirit medicine was inspected by Nascent Soul cultivators from other sects,” Feng Daoran said, his eyes seemingly devoid of light.

Ye Jingcheng did not speak but quietly listened.

The Earth Immortal Realm is inherently ruthless. Had he been weaker, he might have died upon entering, not to mention being pursued by Zhang Zhiqiu, intercepted by True Monarch Gui Xuan, and targeted by True Monarch Chi Xue and Sikong Ziming.

But the gains from the Earth Immortal Realm made many lose their minds.

”Zifu Daoist was wise not to come,” Feng Daoran remarked, now sipping the spirit tea Ye Jingcheng offered.

This tea was Mingxin Tea, soothing Feng Daoran’s mood a bit.

Shame flickered across his face.

”Feng Daoist, as long as we’re alive, there is always hope.”

”The Earth Immortal Realm occurs every three hundred years. Daoist, you may have a chance to return then, perhaps encountering old acquaintances,” Ye Jingcheng said.

Feng Daoran nodded, finally showing determination.

Anyone who survives near-certain death and returns from the Earth Immortal Realm, with all treasures seized, would question themselves.

Even returning to Southern Wilderness Province would be a jest.

Without offering spirit medicine, not to mention returning to the sect, there wouldn’t be fame gained, and the Righteous Sect might even be displeased.

”Qianchen Daoist, are you considering exploring further?” Feng Daoran asked.

”My gains were satisfactory this time; I don’t plan to risk it further,” Ye Jingcheng shook his head and declined.

Feng Daoran chatted a bit more and then left.

To Ye Jingcheng’s surprise, after Feng Daoran left, he widely touted Ye Jingcheng’s alchemy skill within the secret realm, leading several Golden Core Cultivators to seek Ye Jingcheng for alchemy.

This saved Ye Jingcheng the effort of advertising himself.

Most of the spirit pills were meant to enhance cultivation, and these cultivators indeed were not lacking spirit medicines.

One of them entrusted Ye Jingcheng with refining three furnaces and provided six Tier Four spiritual medicines as payment, urging Ye Jingcheng to refine them swiftly.

Among the six Tier Four spiritual medicines, four were auxiliary medicines for Tier Five Advancement Pills.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but show his delight.

He hadn’t expected that in the Earth Immortal Realm, he could still profit from his alchemy skill.

And on the seventh day, just after refining a batch of spirit pills, a spirit talisman flew into his pavilion.

Turns out Xu Huai True Monarch had emerged from seclusion and wished to meet him.
