Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1161 - 793: Alchemy Commission and Demonic Manifestation
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
After all, it was only a few days ago, his reputation hadn’t spread out yet.
Having the Wind Bone Pill and Jade Bone Pill, Ye Jingcheng estimated it was due to his Golden Core status, coupled with his identity as a Mid-stage Fourth-tier Alchemist, that attracted the other party.
Regarding these Spirit Pills, he was somewhat concerned about Huang Tiyun’s behavior.
Over the next few days, he observed Huang Tiyun in the room.
Finding nothing amiss, he withdrew his Divine Sense, closed the door, activated the Array, and began refining pills.
On his table, four commissioned Spirit Medicines were already collected.
Ye Jingcheng released the Red Flame Fox.
He then took out the Pill Furnace and began refining.
"Squeak!" The Red Flame Fox showed great cheer at Ye Jingcheng’s alchemy efforts, as it had been a long time since he’d last practiced alchemy.
The consequence of this was that their food, Spirit Pills, regressed from Tier Four to Tier Three.
...
Two months went by quietly.
In the market, the bustling discussions about Celestial Sand Sect were expected, yet surprisingly, the opening of Celestial Sand Treasure Tower went without a hitch.
It was just a bright morning; like usual, they opened the doors for business.
No banquets, no fireworks, and no performances.
However, the straightforward opening attracted a Dragon Envoy from the Righteous Sect to purchase Spirit Pills, and disciples from the Profound Puppet Sect also came to buy.
Many people were astounded.
At the same time, Master Qianchen didn’t emerge from seclusion, leading many to finally understand that Master Qianchen was refining Spirit Pills for some Purple Mansion Cultivators.
Among them, two Spirit Pills were based on new Pill Formulas unknown to Master Qianchen!
As this news spread, people increasingly believed Ye Jingcheng’s reputation as a Tier Four Middle-grade Alchemist.
After all, Alchemy Masters are unlike ordinary people; they immerse themselves in alchemy and could spend ages researching new Pill Formulas.
And only such Alchemy Masters can be considered reliable in their skills.
If Ye Jingcheng accepted commissions and frequently appeared at the Celestial Sand Treasure Tower,
people would doubt whether Ye Jingcheng possesses the capabilities of a Tier Four Alchemist!
In a room at the Duan Family Tavern in Xiaoshan Market, a beautiful woman in green and a middle-aged cultivator sat facing each other.
The middle-aged cultivator remained silent, while the green-clad woman’s urgency was apparent.
Soon, the door creaked open, and a woman in cyan armor entered.
"Miss, Patriarch, it’s still not ready!"
Upon saying this, she showed a hint of guilt.
"Qingtan, remember not to test with two Pill Formulas next time. Many True Masters, though considered Tier Four Alchemists, achieved their status by consistently refining Spirit Pills with similar attributes. Such Alchemists become helpless when faced with new Pill Formulas!" the middle-aged man finally spoke.
And the beautiful woman in green sighed.
"Understood, Father!" The green-clad woman, named Duan Qingtan, was the eldest daughter of the Duan Family from Wangchuan Valley.
"Then shall we wait for Elder Quan An from the Profound Puppet Sect?"
"Yes, let’s wait. If necessary, we can only approach Mansion Master Xiao, but for Mansion Master Xiao, we’d need at least three Gold Condensing Fruits and possibly owe a favor as well!"
The Duan Family, a longstanding Purple Mansion Clan, is currently thriving with seven Purple Mansion cultivators in the clan.
In past explorations of the Secret Realm, they acquired a Gold Condensing Fruit Tree.
Now, three Gold Condensing Fruits have ripened.
Giving the Duan Family the hope for a Golden Core.
But precisely because they have only the Gold Condensing Fruits and no Golden Core Cultivators, the Duan Family must be more cautious.
Elder Quan An from the Profound Puppet Sect is the safest choice, also a Tier Four Middle-grade Alchemist, who ascended to this tier two hundred years ago.
It is said that the Gold Condensing Pills of the Profound Puppet Sect are refined by Master Quan An.
Moreover, the Profound Puppet Sect being a Nascent Soul Sect, receiving two, at most three, Gold Condensing Fruits would be sufficient for one batch of pills.
After all, Master Quan An does accept commissions.
However, regrettably, he has been in seclusion continuously.
And Mansion Master Xiao does not accept commissions either. Given that Gold Condensing Pills aren’t much use to him, seeking him out would cost at least three Gold Condensing Fruits and entail a favor.
If there were other options, they would rather not turn to Mansion Master Xiao.
...
At Celestial Sand Treasure Tower, Huang Tiyun presided over the second floor, his face full of joy.
Over these two months, Celestial Sand Sect sold numerous Spirit Pills.
And this was solely due to the gained reputation from Master Qianchen.
Even though Ye Jingcheng provided some Tier Three Spirit Pills, the Tier One and Tier Two Spirit Pills were still produced by Celestial Sand Sect itself.
Thus, these profits also belong to Celestial Sand Sect.
He watched the cultivators coming and going each day and their admiration for the words Celestial Sand Treasure Tower, feeling an indescribable joy within.
Initially, he worried about Ye Jingcheng’s backing and family connections, but now his concern shifted to Ye Jingcheng’s alchemy skills.
Four Tier Three Spirit Pills, while difficult, are not impossible.
Ye Jingcheng is a Tier Four Spirit Pill Master.
But now, a full two months have passed.
Moreover, the patron who commissioned the alchemy has already inquired.
Meanwhile, there’s only one new commission for alchemy.
Just a Tier Three Lower-grade Yang Purple Pill.
While Huang Tiyun was worried, in a room on the fourth floor of the Treasure Tower.
The Cyan-Red Furnace of the Taurus Bull was spreading its cyan-red hues, the bull’s head was raised high.
In the next moment, a barely audible hum fell, and the Pill Furnace rose.
Inside, three crimson Spirit Pills appeared.
This scene brought Ye Jingcheng immense joy.
These three crimson Spirit Pills were, of course, not among the commissioned four Spirit Pills, nor were they Spring Pills, but Tier Four Middle-grade Purple Flame Pills.
This Spirit Pill is the prime choice for amplifying the fire attribute of Golden Core cultivators or Spirit Beasts.
The main ingredient is the Inner Core of a Tier Four fire attribute Demon King.
Successfully refining three at once also indicates Ye Jingcheng’s alchemy skill has reached a Tier Four High-grade level.
Of course, this is not only due to Ye Jingcheng’s efforts, but also thanks to the contribution of the Red Flame Fox.
The Red Flame Fox’s fire control ability has greatly improved.
Should the fire level be low, it can lift its gaze to birth Purple Fire, compensating for the lacking intensity.
If the temperature is too high, it can also extract some fire heat.
This gives Ye Jingcheng the confidence to refine Red Flame Pills and Golden Scale Pills.
He took out one Spirit Pill and placed it in the mouth of the Red Flame Fox, which chirped with joy.
After enjoying some Treasure Light, Ye Jingcheng stored it within the Grotto Heaven.
Ye Jingcheng doesn’t plan to continue refining, estimating that the patrons have already run out of patience after two months.
Delaying slightly may help in boosting his reputation, but it shouldn’t be excessive.
He wiped the Pill Furnace, and behind him, a row of Jade Bottles filled with Spirit Pills was neatly arranged.
Among them were commissioned Profound Crow Pills, Golden Dawn Pills, Wind Bone Pills, and Jade Bone Pills.
Each type of Spirit Pill had at least three pieces.
The Profound Crow Pills even numbered six.
Using ten portions of Spirit Materials, Ye Jingcheng only failed one batch, and it was the Jade Bone Pill.
Aside from the commissioned Spirit Pills, the Advanced Spirit Pill for the Spring Spirit was already refined.
The Spring Spirit’s current Spirit Pill was only Tier Two, so Ye Jingcheng’s refining was naturally effortless.
He put away the excess Spirit Pills, exhaled a long breath, and left the room.
"Elder!" Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng emerge from seclusion, Huang Tiyun immediately approached.
He genuinely feared Ye Jingcheng’s failure in refining and needing to gather new Spirit Medicine.
If the delay extended, it would be impossible even to conceal it if he wanted to.
"Have there been new commissions for Spirit Pills these past days?" Ye Jingcheng handed over four bottles of Spirit Pills to Huang Tiyun.
Seeing the Spirit Pills inside the bottles, the stone in Huang Tiyun’s heart finally settled, and he nodded with joy.
"Yes!" Huang Tiyun responded eagerly.
Though there’s only one, he’s convinced there will be more commissions for alchemy ahead.
After all, the reputation of a Tier Four Alchemist precedes itself.
Unless Ye Jingcheng voluntarily declined the Tier Three Spirit Pill commissions.
"By the way, you can sell these Spirit Pills too!" Ye Jingcheng stated.
These were excess commissioned Spirit Pills.
Seeing Ye Jingcheng take out these Spirit Pills, the joy in Huang Tiyun’s eyes was uncontrollable.
"Elder, this..."
"These were all refined together. If they wish to buy, offer them at 20% off market price!" Ye Jingcheng suggested.
Upon hearing this, Huang Tiyun nodded in ecstasy.
With the release of these Spirit Pills, Ye Jingcheng’s reputation is bound to soar.
It’s worth noting that both Wind Bone Pill and Jade Bone Pill are extremely rare Spirit Pills; Ye Jingcheng hasn’t refined them before.
Sufficient proof of Ye Jingcheng’s exquisite alchemy skill.
Just as Ye Jingcheng was about to say something more, he took out a Jade Talisman from his Storage Bag.
This Jade Talisman was none other than the one given by Xiao He.
Inside the Jade Talisman was only one message.
The Evil Cultivators from Gui Xuan Sect have appeared.
And in the Xiaoshan Mansion, they’ve begun a blood sacrifice.
There is a request for Ye Jingcheng to urgently assemble to eradicate the Demon Cultivators.
Ye Jingcheng had promised earlier, so naturally, he couldn’t refuse now. After giving some instructions, he flew towards Wankun Palace in the market’s center!
