Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Big Order

“Jingcheng, here is the magical artifact I promised you last time. After much thought, I believe a Pill Furnace suits you best. However, despite refining for so long, I haven’t succeeded once!” Ye Jingli handed the Three-Eared Pill Furnace to Ye Jingcheng.

He appeared a bit embarrassed, having been so confident initially.

For a Pill Furnace-type magical artifact, it must withstand Earth Fire and precisely control the furnace temperature. The Spirit Pattern Array Diagram is several times more complex than regular magical artifacts.

On the market, its price is even higher than that of Defensive Spiritual Artifacts!

“I have no shortage of Attack Spiritual Artifacts; it’s just the right time to exchange one with you!” Perhaps noticing Ye Jingcheng’s hesitation, about to shake his head,

Ye Jingli hastily added:

“Your sixth brother’s Cyan-Scaled Snake is much more useful than this broken furnace. I’ll let you take a look when there’s a chance. Besides, I want to get some Spirit Pills from you!”

Ye Jingcheng didn’t think much of it; that time, it was just a small effort, infusing some Ancient Book’s spiritual light.

But seeing Ye Jingli insist, he accepted it, thinking with the furnace and the Red Flame Fox, he would finally be able not to use the family’s Earth Fire Hall or the family’s Pill Furnace.

Visiting the market would be more convenient, even if he wanted to privately refine Spirit Pills for Spirit Foxes.

Moreover, a Tier One Middle-grade Pill Furnace is quite valuable indeed.

Taking this opportunity seems more worthwhile.

Once Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli confirmed everything, Ye Jingyun and Ye Xingyu also finished their selections.

Ye Jingyun chose standard Flying Sword Spiritual Artifacts and Golden Shield Spiritual Artifacts, while Ye Xingyu selected a Black Tower and a Small Seal.

“When entering the Cultivation Realm, never judge by appearance, remember to observe and listen more, speak less, and never meddle!” Ye Haiping, seeing the four had chosen their artifacts, reiterated his advice sternly.

After speaking, he returned behind his table, taking out a Jade Talisman and continuing his study.

“Thank you, Eighth Grandfather, for your teachings!” The three of them bowed in gratitude!

Ye Xingyu took the initiative, pulling out a palm-sized wooden Spiritual Ship and tossed it into the sky. With a flash of spiritual light, it instantly expanded to a ten-zhang size.

In the sunlight, the shadow of the Spiritual Ship stretched long, looking mighty at that moment.

The three others felt a bit envious, as these Spiritual Ships were worth at least several hundred, even more than Spirit Beast cubs.

The four descended onto it in turn, heading straight east.

Ye Xingyu’s Spiritual Ship was evidently more valuable than his fourth brother Ye Jingyu’s. The ship was even equipped with several rooms.

Ye Xingyu also didn’t need them to take turns managing the Spiritual Ship.

He alone piloted it steadily, without a single bump or the sound of wind.

Ye Jingli and Ye Jingyun went into their rooms, leaving Ye Jingcheng standing behind Ye Xingyu by the mast, observing the surroundings.

Ye Xingyu looked back at Ye Jingcheng with some surprise but said nothing, continuing to navigate the ship.

The Cultivation Realm in the Yan Kingdom was vast; the Spiritual Ship journeyed through many mountains, finding rest stops even at night.

These stops were caves the Ye Family had once used, arranged to indicate if tampered with, they would leave immediately.

If untouched, they would set up an array, rest for the night, and recover Spiritual Energy.

On the third day at dawn, the four finally glimpsed cultivators afar, mostly appearing as mortals, darting through forests. Only those in Late Stage of Qi Cultivation rode all sorts of magical artifacts in the sky.

Their direction was similar to Ye Jingcheng and his companions. As sunlight fell, two towering mountains appeared in the distance.

Where the mountains connected lay countless incredibly tall Cyan Bamboos, lush and sky-reaching.

Each bamboo section was unusually large, with some covered in white frost.

“Approaching the Taihang Market, it is home to Purple Mansion seniors and other clans. Our Ye Family is neither the best nor the worst, so get fewer shops out if possible.” Ye Xingyu, evidently familiar, gave a short introduction to prevent any reckless actions in the market.

Ye Xingyu put away the Spiritual Ship, casting a Spirit Technique, causing the Bamboo Forests to expand to either side, forming a winding bamboo path.

Walking two or three miles along it, the road opened up to reveal numerous shops.

Most were two stories high, named simply.

Li’s Shop, Chen’s Pill Shop…

The imagined names like Treasure Tower or Hundred Treasures Pavilion were rare indeed.

“To open a shop requires Foundation Establishment or Purple Mansion backing. There’s concern over Evil Cultivators or greedy Loose Cultivators, so family names are used to intimidate petty thieves!”

“Shops of Purple Mansion families have three floors, Foundation Establishment families have two, Golden Core families have four. However, here in Taihang Commandery, there’s no Golden Core family yet!”

“In Taihang Market, besides noting Taiyi Pavilion, be cautious around Xu and Mo from Purple Mansion families, as well as our peers, Buqing Li Clan and Xianyun Chu Clan, along with Shanyue Chen Clan…”

Ye Xingyu pointed to shops, introducing them to the three.

In these shops, various treasures, alchemy, artifact refining, Spirit Talismans, Spirit Patterns, and Spirit Plants were abundant!

“Of course, besides many family shops, some powerful Loose Cultivators also run stores. In the south of Taihang Market lies the Independent Cultivator Square, where many Loose Cultivators gather. Remember not to believe in things like Inheritance Cave Mansions or ancient relics…”

Along the way, Ye Xingyu talked a lot, contrasting his silence on the Spiritual Ship.

However, Ye Jingcheng perceived this was possibly the standard procedure every time the Ye Family brought cultivators in, forming a routine.

Besides, explaining inside the market left a deeper impression!

In the Ye Family, cultivators could stay on Lingyun Peak until twenty-five. After that, if they failed the family’s cultivation requirements, they must perform certain duties for the family.

Some go to the market, others join the family’s Demon Hunting Team, while some oversee mortal towns.

Ye Jingcheng and company were dispatched on urgent family errands due to their age.

Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t receive such gifting artifacts when leaving their mountains.

Ye Xingyu’s possession was also thanks to Ye Jingcheng and his companions’ presence.

“By the way, recently many family cultivators had their Soul Talismans broken, someone might target our Ye Family. If you spot any suspicious followers, alert me immediately!”

Ye Xingyu paused with an unusually serious demeanor.

Seeing the three nod, he moved forward once more.

In the distance, a two-story building appeared before them.

This was a rare shop with its own courtyard, the signboard reading ’Ye’s Shop’ in large characters.

In the courtyard, one could vaguely see many small Spirit Beasts, including a Long-eared Deer Ye Jingcheng captured a year ago.

“Xingyu, your timing is perfect; the family just received a large order!” a middle-aged figure emerged from the courtyard, speaking happily.
