Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also let out a long breath.

Before advancement, one drop of Blood Spring can enhance the Spirit Medicine by half a year’s worth of potency; after advancement, it compares to a year’s worth. In Ye Jingcheng’s view, this is indeed remarkable.

After all, unlike Peach Wood, which needs a long period to produce one Spiritual Peach.

This Blood Spring can condense a drop in a bit over a month.

Once the Blood Spring enters advancement, Ye Jingcheng then withdrew from the Grotto Heaven. The advancement of Tier Two Spirit Pills, though it didn’t take long, would still require about a month. During this time, he naturally couldn’t just wait by the Blood Spring.

He exited the Grotto Heaven, holding a Jade Talisman in his hand, and his lips curled into a playful smile.

This Jade Talisman was left by the person who secretly arranged to meet Ye Jingcheng.

As long as Ye Jingcheng went, he would be given an auxiliary medicine for a Tier Four Earth Dragon Pill, and even a stock of the primary medicine for a Tier Four Earth Dragon—

Thousand-Year Yellow Beard Fruit.

”This Duan Family Tavern is indeed a wonderful place!” The person who arranged the meeting was from the Duan Family.

The Duan Family Tavern had quite a reputation in Xiaoshan Market.

It’s one of the favorite places for cultivators whose will is not firm.

Ye Jingcheng later walked out of the Treasure Tower and made his way to the tavern.

The Duan Family Tavern is centrally located in the market; the location is even better than the Celestial Sand Sect’s.

Not long after, Ye Jingcheng arrived in front of the tavern, where on either side stood colorfully dressed female cultivators, each exuding a unique charm.

”Senior, are you here to listen to music or to seek pleasure today?” Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng approach, a female cultivator came up to him, and the rich scent of rouge greeted Ye Jingcheng’s nose.

”Listen to music!” Ye Jingcheng considered for a while before replying.

Of course, don’t think that listening to music and seeking pleasure at Duan Family Tavern is simple.

The Duan Family Tavern is not only famous for its Spiritual Cuisine; the music and pleasure-seeking here are also unparalleled.

This music acts as a Secret Technique, performed by female cultivators, and can either clear one’s mind or assist cultivators who are persistent and facing bottlenecks to break through.

As for seeking pleasure, it is straightforward; the tavern has some women practicing special Furnace Cauldron Techniques.

This Furnace Cauldron Technique doesn’t excessively drain a cultivator, considered normal cultivation, but it demands high standards, requiring at least a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Ye Jingcheng, being a Golden Core cultivator, naturally meets the requirements.

But he understands well that this is merely a seed borrowing method of the Duan Family.

Thus, the other party didn’t emphasize Dual Cultivation but focused on seeking pleasure.

”Elder Qianchen, the young lady is already waiting at the Lakeside Human World on the third floor for you!” Upon entering, Ye Jingcheng discovered a beautiful female cultivator from the Purple Mansion sect wearing a light veil. She emerged with slightly anxious eyes, evidently not expecting his sudden visit, and urgently directed him.

The most famous rooms of the Duan Family Tavern are the Celestial Pavilion of the Human World, Carefree Realm, and Lakeside Human World.

Ye Jingcheng felt a bit curious at this point.

After all, before this, in his knowledge, apart from Spiritual Cuisine and drinking, taverns didn’t offer anything particularly special.

When he reached the third floor, he pushed open one of the pavilion doors.

He saw countless enigmatic smoke gently unfold, revealing a large mist-entwined Lotus Pond.

Countless lotus leaves stood gracefully around, with several pale red lotuses looking breathtakingly beautiful, almost otherworldly. A small path led to the pavilion.

In the pavilion, a woman stood holding a zither.

The woman’s beauty was unparalleled, surprising even Ye Jingcheng slightly.

”This Secret Realm Spiritual Artifact is quite interesting!” After observing for a moment, Ye Jingcheng realized that these three pavilions were not ordinary rooms; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so spacious. Clearly, they were artifacts crafted from Small Secret Realms.

Such artifacts cannot be stored in a Storage Bag, nor can they be expanded; the Ye Family once obtained one in an abandoned town.

”Elder, at the pavilion, my humble self offers you a song!” The woman placed her hands on her left waist, slightly bending in a bow.

Then, she moved forward, guiding Ye Jingcheng into the pavilion, where there were a Tier Three Dragon Pattern Wooden Chair and a brightly colored long table, laden with Spirit Fruits and delicacies, everything in abundance.

”Senior, these are our three major signatures from the Duan Family Tavern—Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Wine Drinking Dragon Spring, Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Cuisine Hundred Feet Soaring Dragon Cuisine, Tier Three Lower Grade Spirit Tea Cyan Water Lotus.”

With the introduction, Ye Jingcheng was taken aback more and more.

Tier Three Spirit Wine, Tier Three Spirit Tea, and the Spirit Cuisine was evidently Half-Flood Dragon Cuisine, none of which were ordinary.

Seeing the other party still bending their body, Ye Jingcheng sat down.

The other person then respectfully sat ahead at the table, took the xylophone, and started playing.

Watching lotuses, with beauty beside and melodious tunes occasionally, no wonder so many cultivators have an unwavering mind here!

Ye Jingcheng already understood in his heart why the Duan Family has become so renowned; it’s something the Ye Family can’t compare with.

Ye Jingcheng did not interrupt; since the other party invited him for alchemy, he was also eager to see what exactly was going on.

Especially regarding the song, his curiosity was immense.

”Zheng!”

As the zither sound began, it felt as if it was plucking at the heartstrings, coupled with the vast summer lotus scenery, Ye Jingcheng’s state of mind involuntarily shifted.

Joyful, intense, the sensation had already turned wondrous.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but drink Spirit Tea, eat Spirit Cuisine, and occasionally raised the wine jug for a long sip.

After a while, when the tune ended, Ye Jingcheng remained somewhat immersed, and indeed this melody provides enhancement to cultivators.

Though for someone like him, a Golden Core cultivator, the benefit was minimal.

However, as a relaxing tune, it indeed was enjoyable and carefree.

”What’s the name of this melody?” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but ask.

”This melody is called Jade Lotus,” the woman replied.

”Thank you, Fairy Duan, for personally playing the zither and clarifying it as well,” Ye Jingcheng subsequently added.

As Ye Jingcheng spoke, Duan Qingtan also smiled gracefully.

”It seems nothing can hide from Elder Qianchen. I heard that your strength can rank among the top five even in Xiaoshan Prefecture,” Duan Qingtan continued.

”It’s just hearsay from outsiders, hardly credible, but I am more intrigued by Earth King Grass and Yellow Beard Fruit!” Ye Jingcheng directly stated.

Evidently, he didn’t wish to talk too much further.

Though Duan Qingtan was highly famous in Xiaoshan Prefecture, being one of the top three Fairies, she was only an early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator after all.

Moreover, his partner Chu Yanqing, in terms of beauty, was even superior and has a Spirit Body, so Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn’t think too much.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng not beating around the bush, Duan Qingtan asked once more, and upon Ye Jingcheng’s nod of agreement, began setting up an array.

After the array was completed, Duan Qingtan asked:

”Elder Qianchen, if I may be bold, what’s the highest tier elixir you’ve refined?”

”Tier Four High-Grade Spirit Pill.” Ye Jingcheng observed Duan Qingtan’s current lack of calm.

He had already somewhat guessed the kind of pill the other party wished to refine.

For a Purple Mansion influence, only such Spirit Pills would be treated with such seriousness.

Sure enough, Duan Qingtan further asked:

”Dare I ask if you’ve ever refined Gold Condensing Pill?”

”Never!” Ye Jingcheng replied directly.

Indeed, he hadn’t refined it; the Gold Condensing Pill he advanced through was prepared by Master Tianfu, and Ye Xuefan’s Gold Condensing Pill was obtained from the Zhang Family.

Of course, the Ye Family now has a Gold Condensing Fruit about to mature.

But Ye Jingcheng indeed hasn’t refined Gold Condensing Pill.

Upon hearing his direct answer, the other party also paused.

”However, Gold Condensing Pill isn’t considered a difficult pill to refine!”
