Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1350 - 953: Black-and-White Bounties, Desert Sea’s Tragic Sentiment

Sha Huang Mountain, the ruins on the mountain have been rebuilt, and palatial buildings have once again appeared atop the peaks.

The damaged spirit fields have also been completely replanted with new spirit rice.

The newly sprouted seedlings still appear somewhat fragile, swaying continuously in the wind, yet they exude a delightful green hue.

On the mountain, since it is late spring, the fragrance of peach and apricot pervades the entire peak.

At this moment, the entire Sha Huang Mountain array is fully activated, evidently, the scene from a year ago still keeps Celestial Sand Sect extremely vigilant.

At this moment in the assembly hall, Ye Haiyan and several other Ye Clan members are gathered here, and their expressions are somewhat grim.

What they didn’t expect was that because the Ye Clan and Celestial Sand Sect chose a defensive strategy, constantly guarding Sha Huang Mountain and Profound Distant Peak,

it led to nearby tier one and tier two spirit mountains being harassed.

Not only was there a significant loss of spiritual objects and wealth, but many people also doubted if the Ye Clan’s temporary market could proceed smoothly.

After all, if they couldn’t even handle an evil cultivation sect, if the temporary market were to open and cultivators came to cause trouble, they would doubt the Ye Clan and Celestial Sand Sect’s ability to maintain order.

No one would want to trade at a market that could be ransacked at any moment.

After all, a temporary market can’t call upon all the mansion masters of Righteous Sect, naturally, it can’t ensure absolute safety.

"Uncle Haiyan, we’ve lost communication with Desert Sea, and we’re short on cultivators, with Jing Hu guarding Profound Distant Peak..." Ye Jinghe of the Jing Generation also spoke.

His face was also full of worry.

"The Earth Immortal Realm is ending soon, Jingcheng and the family patriarchs should all return, so there’s no need to be too hasty, we just need to keep guarding, and let the temporary market wait if it must." Ye Haiyan could only nod in agreement.

As Ye Haiyan spoke, he also glanced at the distant spiritual light.

He immediately laughed heartily, the worry vanishing from his face.

"Come, let’s greet the Supreme Elder." Ye Haiyan said with a smile.

The others also sensed with their divine sense, and immediately they were overjoyed, everyone flew out.

In no time, they saw Ye Jingcheng arriving on the Profound Light Ship.

On the spiritual ship, there were also Ye Jingnan and a select few core clan members sent out by the Ye Clan, each holding storage bags and dressed in tidy robes.

Especially Ye Jingnan, who was covering his storage bag, which contained the Ye Clan’s teleportation array.

Now that Ye Jingcheng has returned, naturally, there’s no need to place the teleportation array at Xiaoshan South Market, now the Ye Clan doesn’t need to defend, but can instead expand greatly.

"Uncle Haiyan, have your injuries healed?" Ye Jingcheng asked as he disembarked from the spiritual ship, observing significant changes in the mountain’s architecture, allowing him to surmise the dangers of the past.

"Minor injuries, nothing serious." Ye Haiyan shook his head.

Of course, he said it lightly, but had it not been for Master Zifu and Duan Chuanyun from the Duan Family arriving in time, he wouldn’t have just lost an arm then, and it wouldn’t be possible for him now to have a limb regenerated using secret techniques.

Ye Jingcheng took out several spirit pills and handed them to Ye Haiyan.

"Jingcheng, I don’t need these spirit pills, give them to the others in the family!" Ye Haiyan looked at them, and seeing that these spirit pills were for advancing Purple Mansion cultivation, he repeatedly declined.

His age already poses a disadvantage for breaking through to the Golden Core, and the family’s Gold Condensing Pills are quite rare. Having now reached the middle stage of Purple Mansion, he considers himself almost at his limit, planning to focus more on studying array techniques.

"Uncle Haiyan, the family has made significant gains this time, there’s a shortage of more than ten Golden Core cultivators." Ye Jingcheng communicated via transmission.

Ye Haiyan was stunned upon hearing this but soon joy appeared on his face.

He naturally understood the implication of these words, a shortage of more than ten means the Ye Clan will ultimately be able to refine more than ten Gold Condensing Pills.

This number is something that even some Nascent Soul sects might not be able to produce instantaneously.

And with so many Gold Condensing Pills, he naturally would have another chance to strive for it.

After all, ahead of him in Ye Clan’s Purple Mansion cultivation are only Ye Jingyu, who is breaking through to the Purple Mansion Peak, and Ye Haige, who is already at the Purple Mansion Peak. Among the other Purple Mansion race people, most are at the early stage, with a few at the middle stage.

Currently, those closest to the late stage of Purple Mansion are Ye Haifei and Ye Xuefu.

Therefore, if there are more than ten Gold Condensing Pills, he too has a substantial chance to obtain one.

The Ye Clan prioritizes the supply of top talents with the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, and then exchanges it based on contribution points.

The top talents of the Ye Clan, and those with Golden Core potential, currently include Ye Jing Hu, who recently broke through to the middle stage of Purple Mansion, and Ye Yunxi with a Water Spirit Root at the early stage of Purple Mansion.

As well as Ye Qingfeng, who is at the Foundation Establishment Peak, and Ye Yunxuan and Ye Qingnian at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Thinking of this, Ye Haiyan finally didn’t hesitate anymore and accepted the spirit pills.

"Let’s return to the mountain peak!" With Ye Haiyan putting away the spirit pills, Ye Jingcheng also headed into Spirit Mountain.

It’s not that he didn’t want to give others spirit pills, but he didn’t refine tier one or tier two spirit pills while in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Many previous treasures were brought back by Ye Xuecang and others.

Upon returning to Sha Huang Mountain, Ye Jingcheng first understood the current state of the sect and then immediately had Ye Haiyan repair the teleportation array.

He then used the newly purchased array disc to enhance and upgrade the Mountain Protection Array.

Afterward, he personally led the clan members to patrol the surrounding areas.

However, when Ye Jingcheng went to patrol, all those marauding tribulation cultivators had disappeared, leaving behind only empty spirit mountains.

Evidently, those marauding cultivators were also acutely aware of the Earth Immortal Realm’s conclusion.

And they were also the first to find out about Ye Jingcheng’s return from the Earth Immortal Realm.

Such underhanded actions are easy to identify.

In Ye Jingcheng’s mind, several faces surfaced involuntarily, ending with the visage of Master Qian He.

The Ye Family in Xiaoshan Prefecture had almost never offended anyone.

The most was the Xu Family before, but the Xu Family brought it upon themselves, and currently lacks a Golden Core Cultivator. Even if they had ten times the courage, they would never dare to strike at the Ye Family.

Only Master Qian He of the Hundred Beasts Sect harbored hatred toward the Ye Family due to the matters involving Spirit Beasts and Long Xunxian.

"Since you seek your own death, don’t blame us!" Ye Jingcheng took out a Token, not an ordinary one, but the Black and White Order hidden in Sha Huang Mountain, and issued a bounty within it.

The Black and White Order had bounties divided into black and white sides. Ye Jingcheng’s belonged to the Bai Ling, capable of issuing bounties on the Righteous Sect side, while also viewing Demon Sect bounties on the Profound Celestial side.

Among them, Gui Xuan Sect and Blood Spear Sect indeed had bounties listed.

The Blood Spear Sect’s bounty was to kill all Golden Core cultivators, offering two million Spirit Stones, while the Gui Xuan Sect had a larger bounty, offering fifteen million Spirit Stones paid in upper-grade Spirit Stones.

However, Ye Jingcheng could not fulfill the Gui Xuan Sect’s bounty yet, as the latter still had a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

After the bounties were issued, Ye Jingcheng nodded in acknowledgment, not issuing many bounties himself, as he was just creating a facade for Mansion Master Wang’s benefit. The real action came from other elders of the Ye Family.

Just right, the Ye Family could also investigate how numerous the Spirit Beasts of the Hundred Beasts Sect truly were.

After patrolling a round, Ye Jingcheng returned to Sha Huang Mountain.

At this moment, the mountain gate appeared slightly deserted, with the cultivators of the Celestial Sand Sect suffering considerable losses in the turmoil, leaving more than half less within the sect.

Now that disciples were dispatched to reorganize Spirit Mountain, the Spirit Medicine Garden, and certain Secret Realms, the cultivators seemed even fewer.

The entire Spirit Mountain appeared significantly emptier.

Due to no one suggesting reopening the mountain gate to recruit disciples, it’s because the core of the Celestial Sand Sect, Huang Tiyun, and others had fallen in the last event.

The remaining disciples were all staunch cultivators.

Currently, aside from the Spirit Plant domain, everything else within the Celestial Sand Sect was entirely under the control of the Ye Family members.

Ye Jingcheng, for this reason, went to the sect’s ancestral hall to offer several sticks of incense for Huang Tiyun.

Though the other party was merely a Purple Mansion, even only a Foundation Establishment before he arrived.

Yet the other party’s bravery was commendable; not fearing death and refrained from performing repulsive deeds even after learning some matters of the Ye Family, naturally deserving Ye Jingcheng’s respect.

The Teleportation Array was finally completed by the next day, with Ye Jingcheng teleporting to the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls immediately upon its establishment.

Before the Forbidden Land, countless Soul-Devouring Insects were ravaging within, and Ye Jingchong had returned here as Guardian, alongside another Jing Generation Purple Mansion.

Among the Spirit Insects, numerous Tier Three Purple Mansion Soul-Devouring Insects thrived, indicating Ye Jingchong’s improved insect handling over the years.

At that moment, numerous Soul-Devouring Insects had woven into one Insect Array after another, exhibiting considerable power.

"Eleventh Brother." After reaching Purple Mansion, Ye Jingchong’s True Essence had thickened significantly, and his previously slender body had grown robust.

"Uncle Haisheng is gone." Ye Jingchong’s mood dipped slightly, having spent the most time with Ye Haisheng among the family members over the years.

Naturally, he felt the deepest sorrow.

Though Ye Haisheng seemed to carry the pride of the Hidden Peak, since the rise of the Desert Sea Ye Family, Ye Haisheng increasingly understood the importance of the family and occasionally taught Ye Jingchong swordsmanship.

Yet Ye Jingchong could never quite master it.

Ye Haisheng would occasionally recount tales of the Hidden Peak.

Every time he reached the end, Ye Haisheng felt slightly ashamed.

He claimed his unworthiness to be called a true Hidden Peak master, yet in Ye Jingchong’s eyes now, Ye Haisheng was no lesser than any elder of Hidden Peak.

The Ye Family’s Hidden Peak had no weak cultivators!

"Uncle Haisheng always wanted to visit the Central Domain, but it’s regrettable..." Ye Jingcheng added.

At that moment, Ye Jingcheng’s throat moved slightly, uncertain of what to say.

He hadn’t anticipated the last meeting in the Desert Sea, where the other promised to retrieve the Chenjing Jade for him, to be their final farewell.

Though he previously agreed to let Ye Haisheng visit the Central Domain, in the end, failed to make it real.

Moreover, Ye Haisheng left no descendants, leaving his line severed. Ye Jingcheng, despite his intention to make amends, found himself at a loss.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng’s sorrowful expression, Ye Jingchong and another Ye Family member fell silent.

The two dispelled the Soul-Devouring Insects, letting them freely roam within the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls.

The insect buzz was deafening, and the sands began to engulf the surroundings.

Ye Jingcheng lingered in the Desert Sea for a long while, gazing at Ye Haisheng’s abode, at the sword marks on the stones, witnessing the sunrise and sunset over the sand.

As the dusk settled over him, he soared into the sky, transforming his sorrow into a resolute determination for cultivation.

To him, the loss of those around was merely due to his insufficiency in strength.

Moreover, though Ye Haisheng left no heirs, the Ye Family was his spiritual anchor.

The Ye Family’s strength could console his spirit in the heavens.

Hence, he needed to reacquire all Spirit Medicine swiftly, refine the Spirit Pill, undertake seclusion to breakthrough Golden Core Peak, and further seclusion into Nascent Soul.

The Profound Light Ship flew at incredible speed, while Ye Jingcheng stood at the helm of the Spiritual Ship, without activating the Spirit Shield.

Letting the Gang Wind lash his face, naturally stirring waves of Spirit Pattern.

In that moment, he only wished the Gang Wind would blow fiercer!
