Ye Jingcheng successfully retrieved the Celestial Sand Treasure Tower and plans to focus on refining Spirit Pills, potentially revealing himself as a Tier Four Alchemist. He aims to gather rare spirit medicine to advance his beasts and improve his own cultivation. Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng visits True Master Qian Kui, the Golden Core True Master of the Profound Puppet Sect, preparing to offer a gift and engage in conversation.

Even if they had a Spirit Separation Talisman, he still wasn’t afraid.

After all, every sentence he said could stand up to scrutiny.

Moreover, compared with communicating with the Eastern Domain and those Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, these Golden Core Cultivators of Xiaoshan Prefecture felt to him simply like a downgrade.

Dealing with them was extremely easy.

They couldn’t put any pressure on him at all.

"In the past, the Celestial Sand Sect was exactly the target my Profound Puppet Sect was chasing after. For it to once again display its edge in Fellow Daoist’s hands today is truly the good fortune of my Xiaoshan Prefecture!" True Master Qian Kui replied with a trace of emotion.

"Brother Qian Kui, you overpraise us. Our Celestial Sand Sect is merely a small sect on par with the Celestial Essence Sect. How could we be worthy of being called the good fortune of the prefecture!" Facing this kind of excessive flattery, Jingcheng naturally kept a clear head and, at the right moment, asked something with a hint of deeper meaning.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng bring up the Celestial Essence Sect, True Master Qian Kui immediately understood what Ye Jingcheng meant.

"The Celestial Essence Sect is nothing more than a Purple Mansion Sect. How could it be compared to the Celestial Sand Sect where Fellow Daoist resides? However, this old man has heard that this Celestial Essence Sect has already secretly colluded with the Righteous Sect’s manor officials, and that is something that still needs to be warned against!" True Master Qian Kui spoke up at an appropriate moment.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng at once understood the other party’s implication.

This Celestial Essence Sect should be under the umbrella of the Profound Puppet Sect.

It was just that the other party couldn’t possibly wipe the Celestial Essence Sect’s ass for them, so they were drawing a line at this point.

Of course, the other party was also hinting that Ye Jingcheng shouldn’t go too far.

A proper warning would be enough.

"I also happen to intend to give them a warning." Ye Jingcheng followed the words and nodded.

Then he began to take his leave.

True Master Qian Kui did politely try to keep him a bit longer, and Ye Jingcheng took the opportunity to modestly ask what industries were suitable for the Xiaoshan Market.

True Master Qian Kui only tactfully indicated that the Profound Puppet Sect was merely proficient in Artifact Refining and Puppet Making, and could not offer any particularly good insights.

Of course, in Ye Jingcheng’s view, that was already the best possible guidance.

Those two industries were exactly the ones Ye Jingcheng would definitely avoid.

Even though the Ye Family also possessed the Desolate Inheritance of Kuihuang and the Desolate Inheritance of Artifact Desolate.

And for the current Ye Family, aside from the Spirit Pill business, they could also engage in business related to Spirit Materials, as well as Arrays and Array Discs.

Of course, the Ye Family could also do Spirit Beast business, but once that business grew large, it would easily cause no small amount of trouble.

After all, over here in Southern Wilderness Province, the Celestial Demon Mountain Range was truly too far away. One would have to take quite a few Teleportation Arrays to get there quickly. Once they started a Spirit Beast business, it would not only be abrupt, but would also arouse the vigilance of the Demon Sects. Ye Jingcheng still feared that the Profound Celestial Demon Sect and the Penglai Demon Sect might be communicating in secret.

While Ye Jingcheng was thinking, he also walked out of Qian Kui Palace; Huang Tieyun and Xiao Congrong also exited at the same time.

"Elder Huang, Congrong, I’m going to take a look at some shops next."

"We’ll go and renovate the Treasure Tower." Huang Tieyun instantly understood that Ye Jingcheng wanted to wander around on his own.

Now that they had finished visiting the two great powers, the Celestial Sand Sect’s shop was already a foregone conclusion.

They should also start getting busy with the shop.

As for Ye Jingcheng, he needed to get a sense of which Spirit Pills were hot-selling in the Xiaoshan Market, and which Pill Formulas were relatively common.

He even wouldn’t mind buying Spirit Medicine here to do Alchemy, if some Spirit Medicine and Spirit Stone prices were relatively low.

"If people from the Celestial Essence Sect come, don’t agree to anything and don’t pay them any heed at all." Ye Jingcheng then added.

Hearing this, Huang Tieyun laughed, laughing very happily, revealing a row of teeth.

At this moment he was already imagining what kind of begging scene the Celestial Essence Sect would put on.

Because within Xiaoshan Prefecture, open attacks were forbidden, but if someone made a move in the dark, no one would be notified.

They just couldn’t wipe out witnesses or seize a Spirit Mountain.

At other times, if the Celestial Essence Sect lost a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, or even a few Purple Mansion cultivators, Xiaoshan Prefecture and the Profound Puppet Sect simply wouldn’t be able to trace it.

After parting ways with Huang Tieyun and the others, the first places Ye Jingcheng went to were the Righteous Treasure Pavilion and the Profound Puppet Treasure Tower.

These were the two largest shops. Once he’d looked through both, Ye Jingcheng would be able to roughly gauge the differences in Treasures between Southern Wilderness Province and the Eastern Domain.

The Righteous Treasure Pavilion and the Profound Puppet Treasure Tower were also the easiest to find; they were the two tallest Treasure Towers, one six stories high, the other five.

They were also right in the very center of the Market.

"Welcome, Senior!" The Righteous Treasure Pavilion was built with great grandeur, and once inside, it truly felt like entering a Treasure Vault. Countless items were on display, filling more than thirty shelves. There were even some Treasures that wouldn’t fit and had been stored within several Jade Records, which cultivators needed to inspect with their Divine Sense.

The Treasures were further subdivided into six major categories: Spirit Medicine, Spirit Pill, Arrays, Magical Artifacts, Spirit Materials, and Spirit Talismans.

Upon entering the main doors, several beautiful cultivators hurried forward to greet him.

However, after glancing at a few of them, Ye Jingcheng discovered that two of them were in fact still Spirit Puppets.

"I’ll just browse on my own. No need to follow."

Ye Jingcheng swept a look around and discovered that this first floor was all Tier One Treasures and some slightly inferior Tier Two Treasures.

In terms of price, they were actually a bit cheaper than in the Eastern Domain.

It seemed that Spirit Materials and Spiritual Artifacts were indeed more abundant here in the Central Domain.

And one had to know that in a Treasure Pavilion belonging to a Divinity Transformation Sect, the prices of Spiritual Objects were generally somewhat higher than in other shops.

That made it even easier to gauge the market price of Spiritual Objects.

Before long, Ye Jingcheng’s gaze fell upon the Spirit Rice.

The Righteous Sect also sold Spirit Rice, and with quite a variety—no fewer than a dozen kinds.

After looking them over, Ye Jingcheng found that none of these dozen-odd kinds were inferior to the Ye Family’s Blood Jade Spirit Rice, and each had its own advantages.

For example, Fire Element Spirit Rice that enhanced Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy, and Water Jade Spirit Rice that boosted Water Attribute Spiritual Energy...

Of course, Ye Jingcheng ultimately didn’t buy any. As a Golden Core Cultivator, it would be a bit unbecoming to be buying Spirit Rice.
