Ye Jingcheng and Huang Tiyun visit Mansion Master Xiao at Wankun Palace to discuss future business plans for the Celestial Sand Sect. Palace Master Xiao welcomes Ye Jingcheng, and they discuss the valuable Cyan Xiao Tea while Ye Jingcheng presents a rare red ginseng as a gift. Ye Jingcheng reveals his intention to reopen the Celestial Sand Sect's shop and engage in the pill trade within Xiaoshan Market.

Inside the grand hall, Ye Jingcheng slowly sipped the Cyan Xiao Tea, his gaze shrouded by the faint blue tea mist.

The fragrance in his throat and the spiritual energy in his abdomen made Ye Jing feel that this Cyan Xiao Tea was not ordinary.

After a while, Xiao Wankun re-entered the grand hall and spoke:

"Qianchen Daoist, this matter has been clarified. It was the Celestial Treasure Pavilion that bribed Junior Wu, who was in charge of the shops. I have dismissed him, and in addition, the Celestial Sand Treasure Tower returns to its original owner. Apart from that, the Celestial Sand Sect can occupy a shop in the market for fifty years rent-free!"

Saying this, Xiao Wankun took out a jade talisman, which recorded the currently vacant shops in Xiaoshan Market for Ye Jingcheng to choose from.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Mansion Master Xiao, for upholding justice!" Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands.

"This one will do!"

The gift from Xiao Wankun was not small. Ye Jingcheng had long seen that Xiao Wankun actually knew what his subordinates had done, after all, they initially thought the Celestial Sand Sect was beyond saving.

Regardless, the forces below were eradicated, and the Spirit Mountain and market shops were to be reclaimed.

It was naturally impossible to leave them vacant forever.

Such investigations were merely to save face for everyone involved.

Moreover, the shops offered by Mansion Master Xiao were quite good. Just the annual rent itself for the Celestial Sand Treasure Tower required seven thousand Spirit Stones, and more critically, disputes were prohibited in Xiaoshan Market. If one wanted to buy a shop from others, it required an extra payment of Spirit Stones.

Fifty years of rent exemption meant a significant amount of Spirit Stones saved.

In fact, counting it now, it was instead the Celestial Sand Sect who owed Mansion Master Xiao a favor.

Of course, when Ye Jingcheng chose among the shops, he did not select the best ones on the main street; instead, he chose a shop on the same street as the Celestial Sand Treasure Tower.

The reason was that choosing too well would make him appear unappreciative, and choosing too poorly would not benefit Ye Jingcheng either. The street of the Celestial Sand Sect was just right.

Moreover, he didn’t plan to let the Celestial Sand Sect run this shop; instead, he intended to lease it out.

As for the lessees, of course, they would be Ye Family members.

The Celestial Sand Sect wasn’t particularly reliable for the Ye Family. The most crucial point was that a sudden rise was unrealistic. Instead, it was better to have multiple powers and shops to first elevate the Ye family’s commerce.

That would be more stable for the Ye Family.

Originally, he planned to wait another six months before fully familiarizing himself with it, then arrange for the family members to come over. But now, perhaps he could accelerate their arrival.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t going to give up on the Celestial Sand Sect. Only by bearing the title of the Celestial Sand Sect would his breakthroughs to the Middle Stage of Golden Core, even Nascent Soul, not seem abrupt.

After all, the Celestial Sand Sect was a Nascent Soul Power thousands of years ago. Even if it had declined, the legacy remained.

At the same time, the Celestial Sand Sect could justifiably collect Purple Mansion Jade Liquid and Foundation Establishment Pills.

Many Ye Family members could also be placed into the Celestial Sand Sect, then break through to Foundation Establishment, even reach the Purple Mansion.

"Good, I’ll arrange people to handle this right away." Mansion Master Xiao nodded.

He was very satisfied with Ye Jingcheng’s measured choices, and in the end, he took out another jade talisman.

"Qianchen Daoist, I see you recently broke through to the Golden Core stage. Three years from now, there’s a small Golden Core trading gathering in Wangqing Prefecture, and also a Tier Four auction. If you’re available, you might want to attend."

"Thank you, Mansion Master Xiao!" Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands once again, very much interested in such Golden Core trading gatherings.

In the Eastern Domain, due to his rapid breakthroughs, he never had the chance to attend any Golden Core trading gatherings.

He hadn’t even been able to attend any Tier Four auctions.

To him, although he had many treasures, he was also in dire need of spirit materials.

Materials like the Advancement Pills for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, Golden Falcon, Five-Colored Cloud Deer, and Spring Spirit had not been fully collected.

Even for the five Lifebound Magical Treasures described in the Five Spirits True Manual, he hadn’t found time to gather the materials.

Now with these trading gatherings, he certainly didn’t want to miss any.

"By the way, Mansion Master Xiao, may I ask what the background of the Celestial Essence Sect is?" Ye Jingcheng asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Their background isn’t much. I suggest you visit the Profound Puppet Sect and consult True Master Qian Kui!" Mansion Master Xiao hinted.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded and then took his leave.

Both were aware that Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t just let it slide.

And the Celestial Essence Sect wasn’t just a simple Purple Mansion Influence.

Being backed by the Profound Puppet Sect made much more sense.

After Ye Jingcheng left, Xiao Wankun sipped his Spirit Tea alone. Before long, the previous Xiao He entered the grand hall.

"Uncle Xiao, I’ve investigated. The Celestial Sand Sect did indeed once control a Great Secret Realm. Later, when the Demon Sect powers resurged, the Celestial Sand True Monarch beheaded an Inner Sect Disciple of the Profound Celestial Demon Sect. The Demon Sect, in shame and anger, destroyed their mountain gate, and the cultivators perished. From that day, the Immortal Sects stipulated that Inner Sect Disciples could not attack!"

"And the current cultivators of the Celestial Sand Sect are actually from branches that returned to the Main Mountain!"

"At that time, the Celestial Sand Sect still had many Purple Mansion relics, but afterward, it gradually declined further!" Xiao He said.

Xiao Wanjun only then nodded.

"That explains it; this Master Qianchen is very strategic, appearing young yet profoundly shrewd. The most crucial point is that my spirit beast, the Thousand King Crane, seems to be quite wary of Ye Jingcheng. His strength might not be inferior to that of an ordinary Middle Stage Golden Core!" Xiao Wanjun nodded.
