Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The room of the restaurant was made from Golden Osmanthus Wood, which carried a fragrant aroma. Although its strength wasn’t as robust as other Spirit Woods, its comfort level was superior.

Ye Jingcheng pushed open the door to find four cultivators dressed in Spirit-Blocking Robes entering.

All four looked like Demon Cultivators, only allowing their eyes to be visible, which were somewhat misty and obscured their true features.

They entered, and Ye Jingcheng closed the door, then activated the Array.

Afterward, he respectfully raised his hands and looked at the four.

”Mansion Master Wang, Mansion Master Xiao.” These four were the two Mansion Masters who had transmitted messages to Ye Jingcheng.

Just when Ye Jingcheng assumed it was only these two, all four revealed their faces.

Among them were Mansion Master Wang and Mansion Master Xiao, but the remaining two startled Ye Jingcheng, for they were none other than Xu Huai True Monarch and Liu Zhou State Governor.

The presence of two Nascent Souls here surprised Ye Jingcheng greatly.

Internally, he felt slightly anxious because this Temporary Market bordered on infringing upon the Righteous Sect, siphoning their profits.

As Master Qianchen, he carried significant secrets...

”Elder Xu Huai, State Governor Liu!” Ye Jingcheng repeatedly bowed with respect.

”We received information this time that might bring some unexpected gains, don’t concern yourself with us four.” Xu Huai True Monarch spoke, pointing southward, clearly suggesting that they had received intel about the Demon Sect’s potential troublemaking.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t overly surprised.

He had prepared for trouble from the Celestial Demon Sect or the Blood Spear Sect.

Perhaps, by utilizing the Dream-Devouring Soul-Searching, he could discern the layouts of the Blood Spear Sect or even the Celestial Demon Sect, aiding Ye Family’s next strategic moves.

But now, with two Nascent Souls present, the incoming threat might also be a Nascent Soul; even the chance of a Nascent Soul from the Celestial Demon Sect could be higher.

Previously in the Earth Immortal Realm, Nascent Souls from the Celestial Demon Sect had collaborated with Nascent Souls from the Profound Celestial Demon Sect against the Righteous Sect and even annexed the Blood Spear Sect, which increased the suspicion.

”Many thanks for your care, Elder Xu Huai and State Governor Liu!” Ye Jingcheng bowed repeatedly.

”It’s sect affairs, not a matter of care. You’ve done well in the Earth Immortal Realm. You should visit the Celestial Capital Prefecture in Central Emperor Province when you have time; our sect has many cultivators eager to meet you.” Xu Huai True Monarch brushed his beard, speaking with a hint of exaggeration.

This immediately lightened the room’s atmosphere significantly.

Ye Jingcheng quickly took out the Mingxin Tea; with Longevity Tea having little impact on Nascent Soul cultivators due to their two thousand-year lifespan, the Mingxin Tea, an Enlightenment Spirit Tea, was still favored by Nascent Soul cultivators.

Once the Spirit Tea was brewed, the four couldn’t help but praise it, and Xu Huai True Monarch further commented:

”Young friend Qianchen, this Spirit Tea must be a special opportunity from the Wood Demon; is it available for sale?”

”Elder Xu Huai is indeed discerning; this is the Tier Four enlightenment of the Wood Demon. However, the Wood Demon itself perished under the Thunder Tribulation. Fortunately, the dead tree blossomed anew, granting us this Spirit Tea.” Ye Jingcheng nodded.

”However, the production of this Spirit Tea is limited; just a little bit every decade and it’s not for sale.”

Saying so, Ye Jingcheng took out two Jade Boxes and handed them to the two Nascent Soul Monarchs.

”Although they’re not for sale, the junior has prepared two portions. I hope the two seniors won’t mind the small quantity.” Ye Jingcheng added with a smile.

Previously, he’d gifted the Mansion Master Wang and Mansion Master Xiao, and now, with these two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, he had no reason not to offer as well.

While the Ye Family wasn’t considered sufficient, this Tier Four Spirit Tea was primarily suitable only for Golden Core cultivators, and Ye Family had few Golden Cores. If it’s insufficient, he could use Blood Spring to catalyze more.

”Then I shall not decline graciously!” Liu Zhou State Governor nodded first, having previously saved Ye Jingcheng, so accepting it felt rightful, and besides, he was a Sword Cultivator who prized enlightenment, making Mingxin Tea naturally pleasing to him.

After chatting for a while, the two directed Ye Jingcheng to use four Spirit Puppets to disguise and leave as cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng promptly made arrangements, letting the four Spirit Puppets use the Soul Splitting Skill to fly to another ordinary restaurant.

Once done, Ye Jingcheng returned to the room, pondered briefly, and then decided to ask if more rooms should be opened.

The room wasn’t large; four people seemed cramped.

However, Xu Huai True Monarch took out a Jade Bead, tossed it into the air, and the three vanished from the room.

Only Xu Huai True Monarch remained seated, revealing he indeed possessed a Grotto Heaven.

”Having tasted your Spirit Tea, let me share mine!” Xu Huai True Monarch retrieved a Spirit Tea from his Storage Bag and smiled lightly at Ye Jingcheng.

Unlike Ye Jingcheng’s Mingxin Tea, Xu Huai True Monarch’s Spirit Tea was the Tier Four Top-Grade Spirit Tea previously acquired by Mansion Master Wang.

...

Another day passed, and more cultivators gathered at the Market.

Spiritual Ships began landing in front of Gemini Peak, letting in streams of cultivators.

Since this was the first Temporary Market, Ye Family didn’t charge market entry fees.

From the fourth floor of the auction building, Ye Jingcheng overlooked the entire Market.

He observed that possibly over twenty thousand cultivators were present in the bustling Market, surpassing Ye Jingcheng’s expectations.

And this was just the first day.

Street Vendor Square couldn’t accommodate the overflow, which spilled outside the Market.

Shops thrived, even those run by Purple Mansion influence, renting for five hundred Spirit Stones, were packed, some earning over a thousand Spirit Stones in half a day.

Of course, Ye Family’s Treasure Tower business was the best.

Ye Jingnan, Ye Haiyan, and Ye Xingliu were all exceedingly pleased, seeing the Temporary Market’s immediate success as it promised a new stable industry for Ye Family’s future.

For Ye Family, aiming to break out of the Eastern Domain, this was crucial.

”Qianchen Daoist, this Temporary Market is indeed a great business opportunity!” Not only was Ye Jingcheng enthusiastic, but the Golden Cores beside him also had eyes shining with excitement.

Master Zifu and Duan Chuanyun Feng Daoran were calm, without other intentions, but the Golden Cores from Tianshu Mansion and Wangqing Prefecture seemed intrigued.

With Ye Jingcheng being a Golden Core, able to host, they as Golden Cores could also host.

Such substantial profits naturally tempted them to want more than just a small share.

”It’s indeed better than expected.” Ye Jingcheng responded indifferently.

For those planning to snatch opportunities, Ye Jingcheng showed no favorable attitude.

His calm manner aimed to persuade them to continue collaborating with Ye Family rather than splitting off.

After Ye Jingcheng’s words, several felt a chill, realizing they’d displeased him, and the atmosphere cooled.

”The auction will begin soon. If you have any treasures, add them!” Ye Jingcheng spoke after a while.

Although only a few Golden Cores attended, with the Spirit-Blocking Robes, a Demon Cultivator Golden Core might have come; as for Purple Mansion, many were visible.

The previously prepared auction items weren’t sufficient.

Ye Jingcheng knew there might be a Nascent Soul covertly, so he intended to make the auction more lively.

Seeing this, several Golden Cores nodded and instructed others to arrange accordingly.

In the present moment, Divine Sense in Ye Jingcheng’s mind fell on several individuals.

As a Late Stage Golden Core and organizer, his Divine Sense naturally covered a wide area and was relaxed.

In his perception, several suspicious, possibly threatening Spirit-Blocking Robe Cultivators stood out, likely members of the Celestial Demon Sect.

It’s uncertain when they would make their move?
