Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Taihang Commandery, Lingyun Peak, Assembly Hall, wisps of tea mist and steamy fog, currently bustling with activity.

Amid the haze, shadows of people were intertwined, laughter and conversation filled the air, yet Ye Xuecang, the old ancestor, seemed a bit restrained.

”Ye Daoist, I once practiced the Qi Observation Skill. In the Ye Family, purple qi rises like the silhouette of a dragon soaring skyward; the future of your noble family is boundless!”

At this moment, the speaker is True Monarch Simurgh from the Spirit Talisman Sect. Ye Xuecang humbly shook his head and continually said courteous words.

In front of him, not just one Nascent Soul, but there were five Nascent Souls.

Blood King Valley’s True Monarch Xueyun, Cyan Spirit Trading Association’s True Monarch Qingling, Taiyi Sect’s Fairy Linghong, Medicine King Valley’s True Monarch Qingchen, and Spirit Talisman Sect’s True Monarch Simurgh.

Ye Jingcheng pretended to be injured and went into seclusion, leaving the burden on this old ancestor.

Ye Haicheng, after all, did not have enough cultivation level, nor the age or seniority, so only he could receive them.

Moreover, they came bringing gifts, and Ye Xuecang couldn’t dismiss them casually.

Among them, Medicine King Valley rewarded him with a Tier Five Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit-Attracting Stone.

Fairy Linghong gifted a Tier Five Flying Sword Treasure. Spirit Talisman Sect sent a Tier Five Great Sun Golden Dragon Talisman. Blood King Valley offered a Tier Five Jade Spirit Snow Ginseng King. True Monarch Qingling brought a ginseng whisker successfully cultivated from the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng.

These five treasures are not only sufficient as Nascent Soul gifts, but could also be considered extraordinary even for a Divinity Transformation ceremony.

What’s more, although the Ye Family is merely a Nascent Soul Clan, this is not a Nascent Soul ceremony.

Looking at these cultivators, all older than him, Ye Xuecang felt somewhat out of place.

Accustomed to being an ancestor, suddenly becoming a junior, he felt a bit uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this discomfort was fleeting, and soon Ye Xuecang was chatting leisurely with them.

Since their visit indicated protection for the Ye Family, Ye Xuecang could not let the five go into seclusion at this moment.

He delegated the setup of another secret teleportation array while he chatted with the five Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

After chatting for a while, the five Nascent Souls started discussing cultivation techniques.

Although it appeared to be a mystical discourse, it was indeed sharing knowledge about Nascent Soul cultivation with Ye Xuecang, avoiding any embarrassment for him.

Moreover, everyone was drinking Mingxin Tea, making the explanation of techniques genuinely beneficial to Ye Xuecang.

Thus, five days passed pleasantly for Ye Xuecang, with the five True Monarchs engaging in enlightening discussions and relaxation.

On the sixth day, early in the morning, Ye Jingcheng entered the hall.

”Elder Qingchen, Elder Linghong...” Ye Jingcheng bowed, speaking with feigned humility, concealing all sharpness.

”Ye Daoist, you’ve already broken through to Nascent Soul; you’re one of us. Calling us elder is really flattering us.” True Monarch Qingchen waved his hands repeatedly.

The others shared the same sentiment.

Actually, due to Ye Jingcheng’s accomplishments, the five had some concern that Ye Jingcheng might be arrogant, given his youth, strength, and complete justification for pride.

But now, seeing him, Ye Jingcheng was clearly intelligent and tactful.

”Then I will boldly address you. My apologies, dear Daoists, for having been in seclusion due to some injuries.” Ye Jingcheng touched his right chest as if indicating that’s where he was hurt.

Seeing this, True Monarch Qingchen took out a jade bottle again.

”Ye Daoist, this Healing Pill is excellent for Nascent Soul cultivators’ injury recovery. You made such a significant contribution for this alliance, please don’t refuse.”

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a bit but thanked repeatedly and accepted it.

He also took out Tier Four Mingxin Tea and offered it to the five repeatedly.

Ye Xuecang beside him took the opportunity to find an excuse and left.

Leaving the several Nascent Souls to converse.

Ye Jingcheng then started participating in the discourse. The several Nascent Soul cultivators had broken through long ago and helped clarify Ye Jingcheng’s doubts.

At the same time, True Monarch Qingling explained some secrets of refining spatial jade to Ye Jingcheng.

To say that the Ye Family and True Monarch Qingling had some past conflict, where True Monarch Qingling had pressured Ye Jingyun and the Ye Family back then.

However, initially, it was indeed the Ye Family who schemed against the Cyan Spirit Trading Association, later utilizing it during a beast tide.

This time, True Monarch Qingling offered a young ginseng transformed from a curved root of Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng, actually fearing Ye Family’s pursuit of issues.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t consider himself a gentleman, yet didn’t stubbornly cling to the past here.

After all, that time True Monarch Qingling didn’t truly kill Ye Family members, besides, True Monarch Qingling had connections with Medicine King Valley.

And the young ginseng from Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng wasn’t ordinary.

Back in the day, the Ye Family got one Curved Root, while the other eight ultimately ended up in the hands of the Cyan Spirit Trading Association.

However, those that survived were absolutely no more than three, indicating their preciousness.

Furthermore, these extra young ginsengs could later be nurtured by Ye Jingcheng into mature Nine Curves Spirit Ginsengs. Counting the newly acquired Primordial Jade Fruit Tree, as long as the Thousand-Year Cold Marrow Heart is allocated properly, refining the Nascent Soul Pill twice is quite possible.

Even though three days had passed, the six people still hadn’t continued their discussion.

Ye Jingcheng also took out five Storage Bags.

Initially, Ye Jingcheng had only prepared one Storage Bag, which was intended for the Medicine King Valley.

However, upon entering the discussion, Ye Jingcheng secretly instructed the Peach Wood Demon in the Grotto Heaven to rearrange the treasures in the Storage Bags.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng didn’t touch the Storage Bag for the Medicine King Valley, but added four more Storage Bags, each containing some relatively rare Tier Four Spiritual Medicines and five million Spirit Stones.

After all, the five people had given gifts, so only giving to the Medicine King Valley wouldn’t be appropriate. It was a casual gesture, a return gift.

Moreover, he speculated that the other four people would likely not accept them.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng take out five Storage Bags, the remaining few people waved their hands repeatedly.

The crises of their sects had all been resolved by the Ye Family.

They naturally felt embarrassed to take treasures from the Ye Family and refused to accept anything.

However, Light Dust True Monarch from Medicine King Valley hesitated for a moment but still accepted.

The others did not accept, and would later protect the Ye Family as a form of returning the favor.

But Medicine King Valley could not refuse; not accepting would indicate a lack of genuine intent to protect the Ye Family.

After seeing the treasures in the Storage Bag, Light Dust True Monarch started to look up to Ye Jingcheng even more.

He considered that if he were in the Ye Family’s position, he would not be willing to give out so many treasures and Spirit Stones at this moment.

Yet Ye Jingcheng achieved it, which signifies that the Ye Family truly produced a True Dragon.

Afterward, the six people also held a small trade fair, where Ye Jingcheng obtained several Tier Four Auxiliary Medicines for Advancement Pills.

Additionally, he exchanged with Light Dust True Monarch for a main ingredient of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor’s Advancement Pill, the Profound Ganoderma, and with True Monarch Qingling, he traded for a set of Tier Five Cloud Mountain Qian Yuan Grand Array Disc.

He gained quite a lot.

After the trade fair was held, Ye Jingcheng arranged for five True Monarchs to reside in the five True Monarch Halls on Lingyun Peak.

And he began to lay out a Tier Five Spiritual Vein on Lingyun Peak.

While Ye Xuecang and Ye Xuefan positioned a Tier Five Cloud Mountain Qian Yuan Grand Array, greatly enhancing the security of Lingyun Peak.

Ye Xuefan and Ye Jingyu also got the chance to research the Tier Five Array Disc and Tier Five Array.

During this period, Ye Jingcheng sent people to check on the Qinghe Sect and discovered that its higher-ups had arranged for Golden Core cultivators to evacuate with treasures ahead of time.

True Monarch Qinghe was not in the Qinghe Four Commanderies either.

There was only one Golden Core Cultivator, along with several Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment Disciples.

Momentarily, the sect’s power dynamics flipped; Taiyi Sect and Tian Dao Sect members began to stand tall, whereas Qinghe Sect cultivators began to decline.

Ye Jingcheng did not take action, but the Tian Dao Sect, Gu Family, Ling Family, Jiang Family, and Li Family attacked the Qinghe Sect’s mountain gate, though their gains were minimal, gathering only some treasures from Mini Worlds and Secret Realms.

As for occupying Qinghe Sect’s territory and dividing Qinghe Sect’s Tier Five Spiritual Vein, no one dared, not even Ye Jingcheng, who would not venture there at the moment.

This Tier Five Spirit Mountain is not easy to seize; Qinghe Sect could retaliate at any time, seizing the Spirit Mountain might lead to thankless effort.

The Ye Family is still wary of the Penglai Sect; why would he undertake other endeavors?

Even Fairy Linghong of Taiyi Sect overlooks Qinghe Sect’s territory.

Currently, Medicine King Valley’s side remains the weaker force.

Nevertheless, what left Ye Jingcheng confused and anxious was that a month had passed, and the Ye Family had not yet seen anyone from the Penglai Sect.

According to reports from the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, the Celestial Horse Sea Domain has completely fallen now, and the Demon Race is on the verge of overthrowing Haoyang Daoist Temple and the Sea Covering Sect.

Evidently, this time, the Flood Dragon Race and Chenjing Race are determined to obtain Nascent Souls from the Human Race.

Even the Beast Spirit Sect of the Han Kingdom Cultivation Realm and the Celestial Corpse Sect of the Chu Kingdom have gone to support the two sects in Qi and Lu.

With calm days, Ye Jingcheng did not waste time, engaging in alchemy, cultivating secret techniques, practicing cultivation, and demon cultivation, keeping himself occupied.

And as the Spiritual Vein on Lingyun Peak successfully upgraded and the array setup was completed, six months later, True Monarch Qingling, True Monarch Simurgh, and True Monarch Xueyun also departed.

Only Fairy Linghong and Light Dust True Monarch remained on Lingyun Peak.
