Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1092 - 770: The Deal

The trade fair proceeded as was customary, though Master Mo Dao appeared dejected, receiving no offers from the other attendees.

It seemed his intention to trade for an elixir had once again failed.

He sank back into his seat, defeated and silent.

The countenances of those present remained impassive, as if this outcome had been anticipated. After all, longevity elixirs are exceedingly rare treasures across the lands.

Indeed, many cultivators, upon acquiring such a prized item, would promptly use it themselves, for who would ever object to extended life?

With Master Mo Dao reseated, the trade fair recommenced.

Next, Master Tianzhen presented a Tier Four Array Disc. The Ye Family expressed interest, but unfortunately, Master Tianzhen sought Tier Four Taiqian Flame Marrow.

This particular kind of treasure was something neither the Ye Family nor any others present could procure.

After a fruitless search, Master Tianzhen was compelled to yield. To preserve his dignity, he offered a Tier Three Magical Treasure instead.

This he exchanged for a Tier Three Celestial Sand Crystal.

Such a gathering indeed made it somewhat challenging for Golden Core True Masters to acquire their desired items.

Observing this, Master Ziyue opted not to reveal any particularly scarce materials. Instead, he traded a Tier Three High-Grade Magical Treasure with Xiao Shao’an for a Cyan Yang Jade.

This action served as a subtle endorsement of the Ye Family.

The trade fair soon drew to its close.

Naturally, apart from the private arrangement made with Master Mo Dao, Ye Jingyu and Ye Jing Hu both managed to secure acquisitions.

Ye Jingyu exchanged a Tier Three Blood Flame Crystal from the Gu Family’s Purple Mansion for a Jade Emperor Lotus.

This Jade Emperor Lotus was not the treasure for Ye Jingcheng’s Advancement Pill, but rather a superior water-attribute spiritual material. He had an intuition that his Blue Jade Flood Dragon was nearing its hatching.

With the addition of this Jade Emperor Lotus, its hatching process would undoubtedly be expedited, potentially even allowing it to break through to the Third Rank's Early Stage upon emergence.

Meanwhile, Ye Jing Hu acquired a piece of Tier Three Purple Thunder Leopard Hide. This hide could function as the primary component for Tier Three Defensive Inner Armor or even for the refinement of a Tier Three Thunder Robe.

Furthermore, the offcuts from this hide are excellent materials for crafting Thunder Attribute Spirit Talismans.

Ye Jing Hu intended to re-engage with his spirit talisman skills in the coming days, aiming to create a number of Tier Three Thunder Attribute Spirit Talismans.

This endeavor would not only bolster his supply of Spirit Stones but also enhance his proficiency with Thunder Skills.

Previously, he had considered his Thunder Skills to be quite competent, if not entirely peerless within his cultivation tier.

However, his recent duel with Kong Yurong had revealed a significant need for improvement. Had it not been for Master Tianzhen's discreet intervention, he might have faced considerable embarrassment.

Moreover, the availability of Tier Three Thunder Attribute Spirit Talismans would considerably bolster the safety of the younger Ye Family members during their expeditions.

"My sincere gratitude to all honored elders and fellow Daoists!" As the trade fair concluded, Ye Jing Hu offered his thanks once more and escorted a contingent of Purple Mansion Golden Cores out of the grand hall.

Three True Masters promptly departed towards the mountain's outskirts as the trade fair wound down.

The majority of the Purple Mansions departed thereafter, leaving only a select few who had recently attained the Purple Mansion realm, eager to attend Ye Jing Hu’s forthcoming lecture.

Ye Jingyu and Ye Jing Hu exchanged a knowing glance and finally exhaled a collective sigh of relief.

This ceremony was fundamentally intended to signal to the Eastern Domain's Yan Kingdom that the Ye Family remained a formidable presence. Fortunately, the Golden Cores who attended were closely allied with the Ye Family.

Ye Jingyu even sensed that a few had perceived the underlying truth of the situation.

Master Tianzhen, in particular, had risked his own reputation to provide covert assistance to Ye Jing Hu.

Had this not occurred, the Kong Family and the Jin Family might have escalated their scrutiny.

"Maintain vigilance over the Kong Family and the Jin Family. Sooner or later, our Ye Family shall reclaim its rightful position," Ye Jingyu declared with a cold intensity as he ascended towards the rear of the mountain.

Shortly, he alighted outside Lingyun Peak, upon a desolate mountaintop.

It became apparent that an Array had long since enveloped the mountain, and as Ye Jingyu stepped within, the surroundings transformed into an entirely different panorama.

A jade-green pavilion had been awaiting his arrival for some time.

Master Mo Dao was already present, stationed within the pavilion.

"Youngster, you are quite punctual!" Master Mo Dao commented.

"Elder Mo Dao, you are too kind. My prompt arrival is partly to ensure the secrecy of the Ye Family's longevity elixir, thus avoiding the attraction of unwanted attention!" Ye Jingyu responded.

Master Mo Dao offered no further preamble, directly producing a Jade Bottle.

Within this bottle resided a single drop of Bone Flame Demon Fox Essence Blood.

The Essence Blood appeared to contain the furious howls of a Demon Fox Demon King, imbued with a substantial concentration of Demon Essence and Blood Qi.

"This is the Demon Fox Essence Blood I mentioned," Master Mo Dao explained.

He also gestured for Ye Jingyu to inspect the Essence Blood.

Only after Ye Jingyu examined it carefully did he nod in approval.

Although it was said to be just a drop of Essence Blood, its density of Blood Qi was akin to two drops.

"Elder Mo Dao, the longevity elixir will mature in three months. I hope you can wait until then," Ye Jingyu said, handing the Essence Blood back.

"Naturally, no problem. May I ask if there are multiple pills of the longevity elixir?" Master Mo Dao queried again.

"Indeed, there are two," Ye Jingyu hesitated before responding.

He quickly added:

"Elder Mo Dao, that extra one, I intend to use myself!"

As Ye Jingyu spoke, Master Mo Dao understood that it wasn’t for personal use but rather to add conditions.

"Young friend, state your conditions freely. Furthermore, I owe your Ye Family a personal favor!" Master Mo Dao said sincerely.

Hearing this, Ye Jingyu feigned embarrassment.

After a pause, he said:

"Senior, as is the case, our Ye Family might compromise, but our development in the Taihang Mountain Range is currently limited. We previously obtained a Teleportation Array leading to the East Sea, but it was destroyed by a Beast Tide..." Ye Jingyu explained slowly.

He then brought out a Jade Talisman, containing information on Ye Jing Hu’s spatial node.

"Refining a Spatial Jade?" Master Mo Dao was momentarily stunned.

But he then nodded in agreement.

"I can promise this on behalf of the True Monarch!" Master Mo Dao agreed.

Although only Nascent Soul cultivators could refine the Spatial Jade, it wasn’t particularly scarce, given there were quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the Yan Kingdom.

Even True Monarch Zi Ming could do the refining.

However, if they let True Monarch Zi Ming refine it, the longevity treasure wouldn’t end up in their Tian Dao Sect’s possession!

"I must trouble you then, senior!" Ye Jingyu cupped his hands and handed over the Jade Talisman with the spatial node information.

After they both swore a Heavenly Dao Oath, they each went their separate ways!
