Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

In the side hall of Bailian Palace, aside from True Monarch Bailian, everyone else had returned here.

After a minor episode, everyone’s expressions now showed slight changes, especially True Monarch Simurgh from the Spirit Talisman Sect, and True Monarch Xueyun, whose expressions were even deeper.

Clearly, they wondered why a cultivator from the Penglai side would risk stepping into a lion’s den to come here and exchange for magical treasures.

The more they pondered, the more they sensed the peculiar and weighty nature of the situation.

The reason the two families stayed close to Medicine King Valley naturally involved some speculation, and now this speculation, in their eyes, was undeniably growing closer to reality.

Ye Jingcheng outwardly appeared similarly lost at the moment, but internally, he watched with great interest. Although he could not exchange for the Vajra Bodhi Tree, he considered that if more people knew about Penglai’s Dao Stealing Skill, the Ye Family would not stand out so much in Penglai’s eyes.

The stability of the Ye Family would indeed increase greatly, which was good news for them.

So he sat there, sipping on spirit tea, patiently waiting for the trade negotiation to resume.

After a short while, True Monarch Bailian entered, waving his hand to signal everyone to continue.

True Monarch Qingchen also began to take out treasures and trade.

However, what he took out were two magical treasures, and although both were quite powerful, including one mirror-type magical treasure, Ye Jingcheng, having ancient treasures and spirit treasures, was not particularly interested.

Whether it was due to exhausting luck or some other reason.

In the following exchanges, from nearly five or six individuals, Ye Jingcheng was unable to successfully trade for any treasures. It wasn’t that he didn’t need those treasures.

Rather, he simply could not produce the desired treasure to exchange, even if Ye Jingcheng tried using transmission with other treasures, it was equally unsuccessful.

Moreover, despite not exchanging for their desired treasures, they preferred to let them pass rather than continue selling them with spirit stones.

Having reached the Nascent Soul realm, few lacked spirit stones.

Those present mostly had families or sects gathering resources for them.

What they lacked were spiritual objects above tier five.

After waiting through seven or eight individuals, it was Ye Jingcheng’s turn.

At that moment, everyone’s gaze turned toward Ye Jingcheng, and he stood up, presenting three items.

These were the Longevity Spiritual Peach, Celestial Cold Cloud Shield, and Tier Five Yuanxi Bowl.

A group of Nascent Soul cultivators similarly showed no interest in Ye Jingcheng’s magical treasures.

After all, Ye Jingcheng’s only decent magical treasure, the Celestial Cold Cloud Shield, was damaged. Restoring its full power would require the ritual refining by an Artifact Refiner.

As for the Yuanxi Bowl, they had heard about it; its power was mediocre, more suitable for cultivators who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.

”These three treasures, I only exchange for the Cold Marrow Jade Dragon Flower and Celestial Heart Silkworm Grass.” Ye Jingcheng voiced.

These two treasures were precisely the primary ingredients for advancing the Tier Five Jade Qilin Pill and Earth Dragon Pill.

Ye Jingcheng, although not hopeful, still wanted to give it a try.

Moreover, the key was that Ye Jingcheng revealed his possession of the Longevity Spiritual Peach, which could extend life by a century — drawing interest from those nearing the end of their lifespan, who would naturally seek this treasure.

Thus, he could increase his chances of obtaining these two treasures.

Unlike before, the Ye Family could not keep the Longevity Spiritual Peach secure, but now, a small reveal posed no issue.

The only concern was if those who previously consumed the Longevity Spiritual Peach connected it with the current peach.

But in reality, those who knew he possessed the Longevity Spiritual Peach had already passed away.

This was the reason for Ye Jingcheng’s confidence.

”Ye Daoist, I don’t have these two treasures, but I have a similar herb, the Profound Nether Blue Marrow Grass, could it be exchanged for the Longevity Spiritual Peach?” At this moment, a Golden Robe Cultivator transmitted.

Ye Jingcheng naturally shook his head. Although the Profound Nether Blue Marrow Grass was good, Ye Jingcheng was not at that point where he needed to test with spirit medicine carelessly or seek substitutes.

Afterward, a few others inquired, but no one responded.

Just as Ye Jingcheng was about to feel disappointed, the Golden Robe Monk who had exchanged for his peach once before transmitted to him again.

”I have the Celestial Heart Silkworm Grass, though its age doesn’t suffice — only three hundred years.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was inwardly ecstatic.

But outwardly, he furrowed his eyebrows.

Not replying immediately, he waited for a round before responding:

”That could work, but Golden Spirit Daoist, the value might not be equal...”

”Then I’ll add a piece of Tier Five Nether Spring Profound Origin Crystal. It’s quite useful for refining your Lifebound Magical Treasure.” the Golden Robe Monk said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng naturally nodded.

He then completely offered the Longevity Spiritual Peach with both hands, inwardly rejoicing.

Although the medicine required had a year duration of three thousand years, he possessed the Blood Spring, not lacking much time.

This trade negotiation unexpectedly yielded more than he imagined.

The Western Domain indeed had quite a number of great treasures, although it’s regrettable that this spirit medicine wasn’t the primary ingredient for the Jade Qilin Pill.

After all, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was close to growing double horns, nearing a True Dragon. If successfully advanced, even at mid-stage tier five, it wouldn’t trail behind a late-stage tier five opponent.

Overall, it still greatly boosted the future strength of the Ye Family.

Currently, what he lacked was the essence blood of a Tier Five Pure-blooded Earth Flood Dragon.

This considered the most challenging, Ye Jingcheng planned to have Long Xunxian check the Celestial Demon Mountain Range upon returning to the Central Domain.

Additionally, regarding the East Sea, Ye Jingcheng intended to replace someone to inquire.

After all, the Ye Family couldn’t hunt Flood Dragons amid a beast tide, but direct resistance to the beast tide might leave behind essence blood.

Be it Flood Dragon blood from Earth Flood Dragons or essence blood from Water Flood Dragons, Ye Jingcheng could utilize both.

After this trade negotiation, Ye Jingcheng knew clearly that in Penglai, thoughts varied greatly, hardly unified.

Indeed, if the Dao Stealing Skill were truly investigated thoroughly, who wouldn’t be anxious?

Having finished exchanging treasures, Ye Jingcheng sat there; his two magical treasures hadn’t been exchanged.

The spirit medicines he sought were overly rare, while his magical treasures were ordinary.

Finally, Ye Jingcheng sold the Yuanxi Bowl for spirit stones, eventually fetching a price of nine hundred fifty thousand spirit stones — neither high nor low, meeting Ye Jingcheng’s expectations.

Following this, once the trade negotiation concluded, Ye Jingcheng hadn’t acquired a single treasure.

The negotiation swiftly ended, with everyone departing one by one, yet True Monarch Simurgh and True Monarch Xueyun remained behind.

Ye Jingcheng left without delay.

The Ye Family couldn’t linger here. Their initial revelation to Medicine King Valley concerned the Ye Family’s Demon Refining Pillar ability.

At this critical juncture, the Ye Family needed to remain discreet; too much exposure would be unwise.

For True Monarch Simurgh and True Monarch Xueyun, Ye Jingcheng’s departure was hardly surprising. In their eyes, the Ye Family had only recently revealed its full strength, making it difficult for Penglai to act, ensuring there’s nothing to worry about.
