Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Above Xiaoshan Prefecture, a Dragon Envoy Flying Ship moved slowly.

It swept over vast expanses.

As the Dragon Ship flew by, cultivators from various Spirit Mountains would emerge, either cupping their hands in salute or watching intently.

On the Spiritual Ship, Xiao He was quite accustomed to this sight. With the reputation of the Righteous Sect, not only in the Six Righteous Provinces but even in areas of other Immortal Sect influences, they could receive extraordinary respect.

Xiao He glanced around, placed a few Upper-grade Spirit Stones for the Spiritual Ship to operate on its own, instructed others to keep watch, and then, after a transmission inquiry, entered the ship.

This Dragon Envoy Flying Ship was not the Orange Dragon Flying Ship but the lowest-tier Yellow Dragon Flying Ship.

Yet surprisingly, Xiao Wankun was also there inside the Spiritual Ship.

”Uncle Xiao, there’s no need for you to come personally this time since you’re still not fully recovered from your injuries.” After a moment of hesitation, Xiao He asked.

Currently, the entire Xiaoshan Prefecture was not particularly peaceful, and Xiao Wankun hadn’t returned to full strength.

Coming here with a Secret Treasure also increased the chance of being targeted.

”These items for exchange are sufficient by themselves!” Xiao Wankun pointed to a Storage Bag.

Inside were the specified items for exchange by Master Qianchen of the Celestial Sand Sect.

”Haven’t you observed what spiritual medicines Master Qianchen searches for daily, and what Essence Blood he exchanges for?” Xiao Wankun retorted.

”Uncle Xiao, what’s the significance in this?” Xiao He, not skilled in Alchemy, couldn’t help but ask hesitantly at this moment.

”Among these spiritual medicines, some I’ve never heard of as suitable for making Elixirs. Master Qianchen might have high-tier Alchemy knowledge.”

”Moreover, with a dual cultivation in body and spirit, having this Cyan Locust Juice could provide a breakthrough to Body Cultivation Golden Core, which would surpass even an ordinary Late Stage Golden Core cultivator, do you still see a problem with me coming?” Upon hearing this, Xiao He finally nodded in enlightenment.

”Xiao He, you need to understand why I chose to become the Mansion Master of this Xiaoshan Prefecture. The Six Righteous Provinces have nearly seventy-six prefectures and seventy-six Mansion Masters, among whom are over a dozen in the Late Stage of Golden Core. And each century, there is only one Nascent Soul Pill quota.”

”This century, it’s likely to be for Wang Daoist!” Xiao Wankun said.

His words implied his goal for the next century.

”Thank you, Uncle Xiao, for clarifying. I understand now,” Xiao He repeatedly nodded.

He finally understood why to secure Profound Distant Peak.

Xiaoshan Prefecture doesn’t fear being much stronger, only being insufficiently strong.

Although the Golden Core influence of Wangqing Prefecture is comparable to Xiaoshan Prefecture, the number and strength of Golden Core cultivators are much higher than that of Xiaoshan Prefecture.

This is also the reason why Prince Wang felt confident launching this action.

For Xiaoshan Prefecture to have big moves in the future, the strength of all sects within its territory must be substantial.

Letting the Xu Family continue to occupy the Tier Four Spirit Mountain is a complete waste.

Giving it to Ye Jingcheng might help him break through and enhance combat power.

With that, Xiao He exited the Spiritual Ship, and Xiao Wankun continued to take out a Jade Talisman, pondering it deeply.

...

After a few more days at Sha Huang Mountain, the Spirit Fields were now filled with abundant Spirit Grain, with some cultivators organizing martial artists and low-tier cultivators to start harvesting.

The Fire Maple Trees on the mountain were all now vividly red, and everyone was joyful, filled with the delight of harvest.

The Spiritual Radiance in the sky twisted and turned, forming what seemed like a character for joy.

At this moment, Ye Haiyan was guarding the main hall of Sha Huang Mountain, listening to reports from the cultivators below.

Besides cultivating Spirit Medicine and Spirit Rice, the Celestial Sand Sect had also begun mining Spiritual Ore.

In the past, these Spiritual Ores belonged to nearby forces, but now, many handed them over voluntarily to the Celestial Sand Sect.

This wasn’t because the Celestial Sand Sect seized them, but because those forces worried and offered them up proactively.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Haiyan also gradually let the Foundation Establishment race people of the Ye Family take over some resources and affairs.

”The Dragon Envoy Flying Ship has arrived.” Ye Haiyan suddenly spoke.

He began transmitting, and soon, the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators on Sha Huang Mountain started to gather.

Most of these cultivators were Foundation Establishment from the Ye Family.

While the original Foundation Establishment of the Celestial Sand Sect, Xiao Congrong, was still overseeing Xiaoshan Market, and Huang Tiyun and others were in seclusion.

The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn’t compare to the dozen or so from the Ye Family.

Everyone rose into the air to welcome Xiao He.

At that moment, Xiao He did not step straight down but moved to the side, and soon, Xiao Wankun emerged dressed in a Cyan Python Brocade Robe.

”I am Ye Yan, greeting Mansion Master Xiao.”

...

Everyone was instantly surprised and began to cup their hands in salute.

Shortly afterward, Ye Jingcheng also walked out with a pale complexion.

”Mansion Master Xiao, your arrival caught us unprepared, please forgive the lack of a proper welcome!”

”It’s fine, I came mainly to deliver some treasures and observe the boundary issues.”

”Seeing your injuries are not too severe, I can rest assured,” Xiao Wankun waved his hand.

A few people, at Ye Jingcheng’s invitation, boarded the Spiritual Boat Hall.

This time, Ye Jingcheng directly took out Longevity Tea to entertain them.

When he visited Xiao Wankun, the latter also served good tea, and the Longevity Tea Tree at Cyan Spring Sect wasn’t a secret, even less so now that it was in the hands of the Celestial Sand Sect.

Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn’t be stingy on these details.

With the appearance of Longevity Tea, even Xiao He’s eyes lit up.

It was Tier Four Spirit Tea with life-extending properties.

He couldn’t help recalling Xiao Wankun’s words, and instantly felt that Ye Jingcheng was truly extraordinary.

Of course, this extraordinariness wasn’t in cultivation or alchemy, but in handling matters and magnanimity.

No wonder Xiao Wankun held Ye Jingcheng in such high regard, granting him a Tier Four Spirit Mountain and preemptively helping the Celestial Sand Sect secure Golden Condensing Pill and Cyan Locust Juice.

”Dragon Envoy Xiao, please have a taste; it’s only a pity that this Longevity Tea doesn’t have great yield.” Ye Jingcheng didn’t feign mystery as he introduced the Spirit Tea. It wasn’t a secret, merely expressing that even though his Spirit Tea wasn’t plentiful, it could be offered and sold, but not excessively.

Ye Jingcheng poured for Xiao Wankun, Xiao He, and Ye Haiyan.

After finishing a cup of Spirit Tea, everyone’s expressions were filled with ease, as if a spring breeze had brushed across their faces.

Xiao Wankun handed a Storage Bag to Ye Jingcheng.

”Daoist Qianchen, see if anything is missing or inappropriate?”

After hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded and glanced inside, then put it away with reassurance.

”Thank you, Mansion Master Xiao.” After giving thanks, Ye Jingcheng raised his cup in respect.

Although it was tea, the ritual of offering Tier Four Spirit Tea carried more respect than regular wine.

”Daoist Qianchen, you still have injuries, so I won’t disturb you further. This visit was also to deliver the Key of the Mountain Protection Array of Profound Distant Peak, along with the Land Title of the Spirit Mountain.”

”I also hope Daoist Qianchen, having acquired the Tier Four Spirit Mountain, can continue to strive for the development of Xiaoshan Prefecture in the future!” Xiao Wankun produced a Land Title and a Key.

Of course, these two items weren’t all that important to Ye Jingcheng honestly, considering the Grand Array could be easily broken and the Land Title didn’t hold much binding power. The only advantage was bringing legitimacy.

Yet, these words made Ye Jingcheng ponder.

After a while, Xiao Wankun and Xiao He also departed, as they said before, flying towards the border.

Ye Jingcheng glanced over and pondered for a while but still had no clues.

Finally, he guessed that maybe Xiaoshan Prefecture would have actions in the future.

Ye Jingcheng thought, taking out a Gold Condensing Pill, thinking that now he had four Gold Condensing Pills.

”These two items, send them to Grandfather!” Ye Jingcheng took out Cyan Locust Juice and a Gold Condensing Pill, handing them over to Ye Haiyan.

Then he returned to his seclusion.

As for Profound Distant Peak, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t in a hurry to move in, planning to arrange some family members to investigate first.

It’s estimated that the Xu Family will move everything from the Spirit Mountain, leaving only an empty Tier Four Spirit Mountain.

...

Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, Jade Cloud Islands, Elephant Stone Island.

This place served as the Spirit Island of the newly emerging Cyan Cloud Sect, and in the Jade Cloud Islands, it already held a considerable reputation.

There were many cultivators within the sect, and its Sect Leader, who also had a Blue Water Whale Great Demon, was quite famous across the Jade Cloud Islands.

Currently, at the center of Elephant Stone Island, there was a surrounding Island Lake.

A Blue Jade Flood Dragon was continuously swimming, and beside the Blue Jade Flood Dragon was a Thunder Python, enveloped in thunderlight, appearing slightly painful.

After a while, Spiritual Light swirled, and a Spirit Egg descended.

In an instant, Thunderlight flashed, even the Blue Jade Flood Dragon shivered.

Ye Haifei at the lakeside took the blue-colored Thunder Egg in turn.

”Its aura isn’t too strong, but its talent is definitely great!” Ye Haifei glanced, then spoke.

The Thunder Python before them was a successful breed, and after more than three years it finally birthed a Spirit Egg.

Of course, incubation still required some time.

And the aura of this Thunder Flood Dragon Egg was currently at the Late Stage of Tier Two, which was equivalent to the aura of Ye Haifei’s Blue Jade Flood Dragon Spirit Egg.

This was why Ye Haifei concluded it had great talent.

”Unfortunately, over the past three years, only one Spirit Python succeeded in breeding!” Beside him, Ye Xuefu sighed.

In these three years, four of Ye Family’s Tier Three Great Demon-class pythons died, which wasn’t a small number.

While the two were still conversing, the Teleportation Array at the lake bottom lit up, and they quickly activated the Array to cover the fluctuations.

Soon, Ye Haige walked out.

”Where is Second Uncle now?” Ye Haige returned from the Eastern Domain, holding a Storage Bag, which was none other than the treasure returned from the Central Domain.

Among them were Tier Four Longevity Tea, and Tier Three Spirit Pills prepared by Ye Jingcheng, as well as Tier Four Spirit Pills prepared for Ye Xuecang, and several Secret Techniques newly mastered by Ye Family.

”Second Uncle went to Chenjing Sea.” Ye Haifei replied.

”Did Jingcheng have a triumphant return from there?”

”Yes, it went extremely smoothly, with substantial gains, effectively eliminating two Golden Core Sects and one Purple Mansion Sect!” Ye Haige spoke with pride and envy.

”This Soul Guardian Blood Escape and Blood-Tracking Spirit Seal Secret Techniques are really remarkable.”

Saying this, he laid the Jade Talisman treasures out for the few to view.

After a while of viewing, they all took deep breaths, and their faces lit up with joy.

”This Thunder Flood Dragon Egg has great talent, Haige, next time, take it back to Desert Sea!” Ye Xuefu picked the treasures, actively deducted Contribution Points, and then spoke to Ye Haige.

Upon hearing this, Ye Haige nodded.

Indeed, one could say joyful events kept coming endlessly now.

Yet shortly afterward, another Spiritual Shadow appeared.

This figure was none other than Ye Xuecang.

His face revealed some frustration.

”The defenses of Chenjing Sea are too tight, seemingly suppressed by the Flood Dragon Race, exploration might have to wait until Haisheng’s Chenjing matures!”

”Haisheng’s Chenjing has already entered seclusion, and upon emerging, it should reach Tier Three Purple Mansion!” Ye Haige responded.

Then he took out Tier Four Longevity Tea.

They dared not share it prematurely, though they were eager to taste it.

”Second Uncle, this is the Tier Four Spirit Tea, Longevity Tea sent by Jingcheng!”

There wasn’t much tea, only two liang.

Ye Xuecang gave it a look, knowing the three’s desires, and brewed it on the spot.

He also began inquiring about the details of events in the Central Domain.

Though they couldn’t assist Ye Jingcheng with combat power, at least they had some more experience.

In handling certain matters, it is crucial to be more meticulous.

”The handling was indeed impressive, but regarding the situation with Spirit Treasures, we must remind Jingcheng to exercise greater caution!”
