Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 546: Chapter 445: Earth Cloud Ganoderma and Swallowing Skill (2-in-1)

The name of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion is grand, and the decorations inside are equally impressive. The first floor is a large exhibition stage, with several beautiful female cultivators standing in front, smiling and welcoming guests.

The female cultivators wear light veils over their faces, half-concealing themselves, adding a touch of mysterious beauty.

Moreover, their cultivation is at the Late Stage of the First Tier.

In the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, most male cultivators appear very dark, while the female cultivators each have skin as white as creamy jade.

Behind the exhibition stage, there are four sections, all using sandalwood-scented purple wood to display magical artifacts and medicine talismans.

These are the pill and artifact section, miscellaneous section, talisman array section, and spirit medicine section.

Among these four sections, the spirit medicine section has the fewest items, giving Ye Jingcheng the feeling that this trip might be in vain.

After all, the Cold-Storage Grass and Tier Three Earth Cloud Ganoderma and Golden Root Fruit he sought were not ordinary items.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been unable to find them at the Taiyi Sect.

“Fellow Daoist, the first floor only has treasures below Tier Two Middle-grade. The second floor has treasures from Tier Two High-grade to Tier Three Lower-grade. The third floor has treasures above Tier Three Middle-grade,” the Chief Steward said with a squinting smile, not letting those charming female cultivators approach.

In this line of work, the ability to read people’s expressions is most needed.

The direction of Ye Jingcheng’s gaze and the way his eyes moved were matters for study.

In the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, it has always been the alchemy masters who value spirit medicines highly.

These alchemy masters are undoubtedly their major clients.

Ye Jingcheng nodded, not saying much and no longer looking around.

Instead, he followed the Chief Steward up to the second floor.

Their classification was quite reasonable.

After all, some cultivators, with many spirit stones, buy treasures for the next realm or even higher levels at the late stage.

They aren’t stuck on the Qi Cultivation First Layer, Foundation Establishment First Layer, or Purple Mansion First Layer.

When Ye Jingcheng arrived on the second floor, it became four exhibition stages, with the spirit medicine stage at the furthest back.

Each exhibition stage had a female cultivator sitting, and above the female cultivator’s head was a giant piece of spirit jade, which reflected the shadows of many treasures.

As for the real treasures, they weren’t fully displayed, all covered by arrays.

For high-tier treasures, looking at some for just a few glances might lose some spiritual energy. Seeing fewer is hardly noticeable, but more is different.

So many high-tier treasures use spirit screens for protection.

Ye Jingcheng quickly identified what treasures the pavilion had.

And to Ye Jingcheng’s surprise, there happened to be a Tier Three Earth Cloud Ganoderma and a Tier Three Golden Root Fruit inside.

It seemed as if fate intended for the Golden Scale Beast to achieve its first bloodline advancement.

After all, the only known sources of spirit beast blood now were the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and the Golden Scale Beast.

However, Ye Jingcheng did not immediately ask to have the two spirit medicines brought out for viewing.

“Not satisfied?” the Chief Steward gently asked after Ye Jingcheng had looked around for a second time.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t respond, but once more scanned the area. In truth, the spirit jade and spirit screen displays were quite beautiful.

Looking for so long without seeing anything indicates there’s nothing particularly captivating, though there are some that are begrudgingly suitable.

“A little,” Ye Jingcheng replied after a pause.

“I am an Earth Attribute Cultivator. You don’t have spirit medicines for refining Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, nor any particularly powerful augmentation medicines,” Ye Jingcheng continued.

“Fellow Daoist, you’ve been in seclusion for a long time, haven’t you? Such spirit medicines will be at the auction; there’s one in ten days. You can wait, and perhaps there will be some. Moreover, in a dozen days, it’s the Dragon Gate Festival. Many influences will be recruiting disciples, and perhaps one will provide Purple Mansion spirit medicines for you!” Chief Steward Pang suavely suggested, not angered by Ye Jingcheng’s request for such spirit medicines, but rather offering him an alternative.

“In the meantime, you can choose some spirit medicines to advance your cultivation and give it one more push in the coming days,” Chief Steward Pang finished without introducing further, allowing Ye Jingcheng to continue browsing.

At the same time, his gaze drifted towards the nearby spirit pills, making his intent quite clear.

“Then I’ll take the Earth Cloud Ganoderma and the Golden Root Fruit, but these won’t be very expensive, will they…” Ye Jingcheng frowned.

“Fellow Daoist can first check their quality,” the Chief Steward said with a squinting eye, recognizing Ye Jingcheng’s attempt to haggle like those loose cultivators.

He didn’t say much more, nor did he name a price.

In his view, these loose cultivators often won’t act without assurance.

It’s quite possible they might even go to other shops because of the price.

Even though the Yun Family is the only Golden Core Clan on the Celestial Cloud Islands, there are other Golden Core influences with branch pavilions here, and Purple Mansion influences also conduct spirit medicine business.

He was well-versed in these matters, hence the suggestion for Ye Jingcheng to wait a few days, attend the auction, and participate in the sect assembly on Celestial Cloud Islands.

However, in truth, it’s rare for a sect to offer Purple Mansion treasures for outsiders to breakthrough.

Even when recruiting sons-in-law, it’s uncommon.

The Golden Root Fruit and Earth Cloud Ganoderma were soon presented, each contained in a slightly transparent white jade box.

The surface of the jade boxes was engraved with arrays, and inside was white Cold Silkworm Cloth to preserve the medicinal properties of the spirit medicines.

“If fellow Daoist purchases these two items, I can recommend a trade fair to you, which is mostly attended by renowned cultivators from the Outer Sea, and there aren’t a few treasures, plus plenty of Purple Mansion Cultivators.” Chief Steward Pang added again when he noticed Ye Jingcheng was about to open them for inspection.

Ye Jingcheng did not respond, continuing to open and inspect them.

In the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, looking at spirit medicines above Tier Three, without purchasing, even a peek requires some spirit stones.

This was also why the Chief Steward added this when Ye Jingcheng spoke.
