Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1290 - 904: Nascent Soul Pill, Celestial Capital Prefecture
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
After Ye Jingcheng and the others had left the mansion of Prince Wang, Mansion Master Xiao stayed behind alone.
He looked at Prince Wang, and both of them seemed visibly more at ease.
Initially, both were somewhat concerned about whether Ye Jingcheng could establish himself in the Earth Immortal Realm.
But now, in less than thirty years, Ye Jingcheng had broken through again, reaching the Late Stage of Golden Core, and his actual strength might not be far behind theirs.
This increased their confidence in Breaking Array, ensuring a higher chance of success for their journey.
"Senior Brother Wang, does this Nascent Soul Pill truly exist?" Xiao Wankun hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"It does exist, which is why I agreed with Senior Brother Chen of the Sect to exchange my Nascent Soul Pill quota," Wang Ke Wei said, taking out a Jade Talisman.
Inside the Jade Talisman, a miniature chestnut-red horse fleetingly appeared in the air, galloping joyfully.
Its eyes were lively, sparkling like two bright brown stars beneath its red mane.
This instantly sparked excitement in Mansion Master Xiao’s eyes.
This Nascent Soul Pill is not a real Spirit Horse, but rather the Spirit Shadow of the Transformation Spirit Medicine, Horse Infant Ganoderma.
This Horse Infant Ganoderma is extremely precious and rare in the Cultivation Realm, requiring hundreds of years in a place rich in Yin Attribute Spiritual Energy to grow into a Ganoderma and another thousand years to transform.
Different from the Nascent Soul Pill, it also requires three major Spirit Medicines, including the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng, to refine into a Nascent Soul Pill for a breakthrough.
Simply consuming the Horse Infant Ganoderma can increase the chance of achieving the Nascent Soul by twenty percent.
Of course, don’t think that the breakthrough chance with the Horse Infant Ganoderma is inferior to the Nascent Soul Pill refined from Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng.
To refine a Nascent Soul Pill, not only do you need the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng, but you also need to gather the Thousand-Year-Old Jade Fruit and the Thousand-Year Cold Marrow Heart, refining them into a Spirit Pill.
In terms of rarity, the Horse Infant Ganoderma is definitely more valuable than the combination of these three main ingredients.
A twenty percent increase is not insignificant for Golden Core Peak Cultivators like them.
"Rest assured, Junior Brother Xiao, this Horse Infant Ganoderma is extraordinarily remarkable. Even if its body, Ganoderma, can’t be used by two people, it can still be used as one and a half portions of breakthrough spirit medicine. Once I succeed, I will certainly ensure your next breakthrough, or guarantee you the next century’s Nascent Soul Pill quota!" Wang Ke Wei assured.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Xiao Wankun replied, cupping his hands in gratitude.
The two did not say much more, agreeing on the time to head to the Central Emperor Province before parting ways.
...
Another half-month quietly passed, and in the restaurant where Ye Jingcheng was staying, he opened his eyes, looking somewhat regretful as he held an empty Jade Bottle.
Inside was Earth Yin Qi.
But now, it had been completely used up.
In exchange, his Divine Sense had significantly grown.
Now, he estimated that his Divine Sense had expanded to a range of at least five hundred zhang.
One step closer to ten thousand zhang.
He put away the Dream-Devouring Worm and glanced at the Grotto Heaven, nodding in satisfaction when he saw that the Purple Flame Blood Lotus had vanished entirely.
However, before he could delay much longer, a Spirit Talisman floated into the room from outside.
Finally landing in Ye Jingcheng’s hand.
There was only one line on it.
"Departure!" This Spirit Talisman was sent from Prince Wang.
Numerous Golden Cores would directly teleport from Wangqing Prefecture to Junhe Mansion.
That’s where the State Governor of the Southern Wilderness Province was located, and according to Prince Wang, the State Governor had already gone ahead to the Daoist Mountain Range in the Central Emperor Province.
They only needed to teleport directly from Junhe Mansion to the Celestial Capital Prefecture in the Central Emperor Province.
Ye Jingcheng put away the Array in the room and donned a Spirit-Blocking Robe to conceal his aura.
When he reached the Teleportation Square, more than forty people had already gathered there.
Among them were several Mansion Masters leading the group.
Because of the Profound Puppet Conference, almost all Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators had come to Wangqing Prefecture, and now everyone was preparing to head to Junhe Mansion.
Many others, like Ye Jingcheng, were also wearing Spirit-Blocking Robes.
"Alright, everyone, the Sect has given us many warnings, so we must depart ahead of schedule. The Teleportation Array will be activated soon; those who haven’t arrived will have to make their way on their own!" Prince Wang said as he judged it was about time.
Then everyone stepped onto the Teleportation Array, and indeed Ye Jingcheng saw Lady He and Feng Daoran among them.
The two did not conceal their identities.
Ye Jingcheng, however, did not approach to greet them.
The Teleportation Array soon activated.
This time, the duration of the teleportation was not short, somewhat similar to Ye Jingcheng’s experience teleporting from the Desert Sea to the Central Domain.
However, Ye Jingcheng naturally couldn’t calculate the distance difference.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast open-air plaza.
The plaza was heavily guarded, with many cultivators and numerous Teleportation Arrays.
The Market in the distance was even more bustling, and on Celestial Monarch Mountain next to the Market, there was a Dao Field.
This Dao Field belonged to the State Governor of the Southern Wilderness Province.
The State Governor is rumored to be a Sword Cultivator, and once Sword Cultivators from all over decide to seek experience, many come to pay their respects at this Dao Field. It’s said that there is a Sword Stele on the mountain, with writings personally inscribed by the State Governor.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but take a few more looks, but due to numerous isolating Arrays, his Divine Sense couldn’t extend that far, so he had to give up.
Everyone spent half a day wandering around Junhe Market.
By the end, seventy-odd people gathered.
These were the cultivators from the Southern Wilderness Province heading to the Earth Immortal Realm.
Ye Jingcheng had inquired about the mortality rate in the Earth Immortal Realm before.
The rate for Nascent Souls was around ten percent, while for Golden Cores, it was around thirty percent.
Meaning, under normal circumstances, just from the Southern Wilderness Province, more than twenty Golden Core cultivators might fall in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Currently, the Ye Family’s Golden Core Battle Power is only about twenty, making it clear that while the Earth Immortal Realm holds many treasures, the mortality rate is indeed not low.
"This journey requires caution!" Ye Jingcheng reminded himself, touching the Xingyu he carried.
There are so many Golden Cores in the Southern Wilderness Province, and the Righteous Sect has six provinces in total, with nine Immortal Sects, not including Golden Core and Nascent Soul from other realms and the Demon Race.
The true mortality rate might be even harsher.
With another teleportation, this time not from one of the many Teleportation Platforms, but a single large Teleportation Platform.
The guards here were even more stringent, and the required Teleportation Talisman was somewhat different.
As white light shone again, the group finally teleported to the Celestial Capital Prefecture in the Central Emperor Province.
...
Celestial Capital Prefecture, Teleportation Square.
Several Teleportation Spiritual Light beams illuminated simultaneously, and Ye Jingcheng appeared among them.
He looked around and saw forty to fifty Teleportation Arrays arranged nearby.
They were even layered for organization.
There was one type of Teleportation Array for ordinary cultivators, another for the exclusive use of the Righteous Sect, and yet another for those participating in the Earth Immortal Realm expedition.
With nearly two hundred Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators gathered, Ye Jingcheng felt a certain pressure settle over him.
Looking further, the bustling Celestial Capital Market came into view.
A massive city, with towering pavilions.
Every glance revealed four or five-story pavilions.
This indicated that the forces behind them were either Nascent Soul Powers or had Nascent Soul Cultivators backing them.
Looking even further, there was the Daoist Mountain Range piercing the clouds.
This mountain range was so enormous that, even from afar, it felt as if it was right at the mountain’s base, evoking a sense of one’s own insignificance.
In the past, Ye Jingcheng only occasionally saw peaks that pierced the clouds.
With a rough count of the peaks in this Daoist Mountain Range, Ye Jingcheng estimated there were no fewer than fifty peaks compared to the Five Peaks of Taiyi Sect.
Additionally, each Spirit Mountain exuded a unique Spiritual Might, making Ye Jingcheng feel that there seemed to be a Great Spirit residing atop each Spirit Mountain.
After gazing for a while, an inexplicable sense of panic arose in his heart.
Finally, Ye Jingcheng’s gaze settled on the central peak.
This mountain was known as Zhengyuan Mountain, where it is said that Divine Monarch Zheng Yuan, the Divinity Transformation Ancestor, regularly practiced in seclusion.
"Everyone, you may move freely in the Celestial Capital Market for the time being, but all must gather in ten days!" announced a red-faced Mansion Master, whose rank seemed noticeably higher than Prince Wang.
