Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1373 - 970: People’s Reactions, Celestial Corpse Poison Scheme
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
As the breeze blew, peach blossom petals flew all over the sky.
In front of the Guest Welcoming Tower, it was naturally even more so.
These petals fell on the red tiles, on the blue bricks, and even on the redwood.
They seemed like beautiful butterflies resting, adding a touch of artistic sense to the pavilion.
The Guest Welcoming Tower was built very grandly, like the city walls of a wide city, stretching beyond sight.
The Cyan Cloud Nunnery was also in this tower, yet as a Purple Mansion Influence, the Cyan Cloud Nunnery was only allocated three rooms.
The Nunnery Master Suxin stood in front of the pavilion, watching her disciples, who hadn’t yet organized the array or visited the surrounding cultivators, already looking at the peach blossoms and discussing the events before Medicine King Mountain.
She furrowed her brows and reprimanded the disciples from her sect.
A few disciples immediately nodded repeatedly, admitting their mistakes, and began to busy themselves.
Seeing this, she exhaled a breath of relief.
She wasn’t intentionally angry, because she too was once a part of these cultivators.
She was just a bit sentimental; if her Master Jingxin were still here, her master would probably be the one reminding and urging them now.
And she might also be among those admiring the peach blossoms.
The meaning of cultivation, probably, is from ignorance to maturity, from low cultivation to high cultivation, from only pleasing oneself to being responsible for the sect.
The wind howled, and a few sound transmission talismans fell, yet Ascendant Su Xin could not help but furrow her brow.
Because the arriving party was, surprisingly, from the various influences of the Taiyi Sect in Yan Kingdom.
Among them, the Golden Core influences included the Jiang Family and Li Family from Taichang Commandery, the Purple Mansion influences included the Wei Family from Taihang Commandery, as well as patriarchs from some small Foundation Establishment Families.
Ascendant Su Xin was naturally somewhat taken aback, not knowing the reason for these cultivators’ visit.
However, she nodded in acknowledgment and chose a hall in the pavilion to receive these cultivators.
Not long after, more than twenty cultivators entered, and it was indeed all the affiliated forces from within the Taiyi Sect’s territory, all present now.
Leading them were the Xuanyuan Master of the Jiang Family and the Master Wu Yuan of the Li Family.
Of course, at present, the ones who seemed to be in the spotlight were the two True Masters, but subtly in the main seat was Wei Dazhong of the Wei Family, accompanied by the newly advanced Purple Mansion cultivator Wei Yuanyu.
Each carried a gift.
Approaching her.
"Daoist Su Xin, we came hurriedly and couldn’t visit you at the first opportunity, we hope for your understanding." The first to speak was Wei Dazhong.
The other cultivators spoke almost in the same tone.
This made Ascendant Su Xin even more puzzled.
After all, their Cyan Cloud Nunnery’s reputation wasn’t significant in the Taihang Commandery, let alone considering the entire Yan Kingdom’s cultivation realm.
"Elder Xuanyuan, Elder Wu Yuan, and Daoist Zhong, what is the meaning of this?" Ascendant Su Xin asked in confusion.
"Daoist Su Xin, your sect has allied with the Ye Family, and there’s a female cultivator who married into the Ye Family’s Jing generation. Don’t you know the strength of the Ye Family?" This time it was Master Xuanyuan speaking.
He was referring precisely to Chu Yanqing marrying Ye Jingcheng.
At the time of the grand wedding, Chu Yanqing was using the name of the Cyan Cloud Nunnery.
At this moment, Master Xuanyuan’s face was full of bitterness, not because he’d done anything himself, but because his incompetent juniors had gone to compete with the Ye Family in Taichang Market. Not only did they compete, but they also constantly engaged in some improper acts. Although it didn’t cause the Ye Family any significant loss, back when problems arose with the Kong Family and Zhang Family, the Jiang Family and neighboring Li Family were the ones who benefited.
"The strength of the Ye Family?" Ascendant Su Xin was even more puzzled.
"The Ye Family this time isn’t in the Guest Welcoming Tower but has a separate Guest Welcoming Palace deep within the Peach Blossom Forest. That palace requires at least Nascent Soul power to reside." This time Wei Dazhong spoke.
To say who was the happiest, naturally he was the happiest.
His daughter married Ye Jingyun and has already given birth to two sons.
One son named Qingxing, the other Qingquan.
Both broke through to Foundation Establishment eight years ago.
Although Ye Jingyun is not strong enough within the Ye Family, he is considered a core member.
Therefore, if the Ye Family truly is a Nascent Soul Clan, just relying on this relationship, who in Yan Kingdom would dare to disregard the Wei Family.
Upon hearing this, Ascendant Su Xin did realize that it seemed she hadn’t seen the Ye Family at the pavilion. However, other Golden Core families, whether from Yan Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, or Jin Kingdom’s cultivation realm’s Golden Core influences, were only inside the Guest Welcoming Tower.
Even the Tian Dao Sect and Cyan River Sect were only inside the Guest Welcoming Tower.
"Could Fairy Su Xin, perhaps, contact someone from the Ye Family? We have brought some gifts, hoping to express our apologies." Master Xuanyuan hurriedly spoke.
But Ascendant Su Xin shook her head:
"Two senior elders may be overestimating me; my contact with the Ye Family isn’t frequent."
"No need for frequent contact, as long as Senior Su Xin can put in a good word or two, I will be overjoyed!" Master Xuanyuan handed a storage bag to Ascendant Su Xin.
Causing Ascendant Su Xin’s divine sense to probe into it.
Beyond the various spirit medicines inside, there was also a portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.
For a Purple Mansion influence, a portion of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid represents the continuation of that power.
Even for ordinary Golden Core influences, Purple Mansion Jade Liquid is certainly not abundant.
And this was merely a gift to speak well of them.
"Daoist Su Xin, I understand your difficulties; you don’t need to trouble yourself too much with it, just a kind word when you see them will do." Master Xuanyuan continued to supplement.
Beside him, Master Wu Yuan of the Li Family was similarly affected.
This made Ascendant Su Xin somewhat unaccustomed.
Usually, she showed utmost respect towards the Golden Core True Masters, but today it was the Golden Core True Masters who showed such enthusiasm towards her.
Although both True Masters were Fake Pill True Masters, the gap between Golden Core and Purple Mansion was similarly significant.
"We’ve found some Spirit Medicines that the Ye Family needs, but haven’t had the chance to give them before. May Fairy Su Xin please assist in introducing us at the time!" Wei Dazhong also spoke up eagerly.
Although he himself had a marital relationship with the Ye Family, that kind of relationship was one that the Wei Family had proactively offered. He naturally wouldn’t use it readily, nor was he willing to use it now.
Moreover, Ye Jingyun was still at Foundation Establishment and hadn’t yet broken through to Purple Mansion, so he naturally preferred to offer more Treasure Medicines to gain the favor of the Ye Family.
At this moment, he was already pondering which talented individuals of the Ye Family didn’t have Dao companions yet.
The Wei Family might not have other specialties, but their Female Cultivators were all exceedingly beautiful!
...
Similar to the loft in Cyan Cloud Nunnery, at this moment, on the other side, cultivators also gathered in the loft in front of the Tian Dao Sect.
However, this gathering was not of the Taiyi Three Commanderies, but of the various forces from the Celestial Blade Four Commanderies.
Among these forces were the Xiao Family and Gu Family, who had good relations with the Ye Family, as well as some forces that had been inquiring about the background of Purple Moon Mountain.
After all, back when Ye Feng from Purple Moon Mountain became the Prefect of Celestial Protection Commandery, many cultivators had criticisms.
"Brother Mo Dao, did the Ye Family really settle deep within the Peach Blossom Forest?" The Golden Core from the Gu Family couldn’t help but speak.
Of course, when speaking, they still showed a hint of joy.
After all, the Gu Family and Xiao Family had helped the Ye Family to some extent in the past.
Moreover, the Ye Family sold Spiritual Objects in Celestial Arrival Commandery, and the Gu Family offered the fairest prices.
"Yes, Purple Moon Mountain is also a branch of the Ye Family, so there’s no need to worry about the Qinghe Sect. With the Ye Family and Fairy Linghong, the Tian Dao Sect will not be obliterated!" Master Mo Dao stated.
He, too, was delighted at this moment.
Although the arrangement by the Tian Dao True Monarch was excellent back then, and the Ye Family did indeed take charge of Celestial Protection Commandery,
he hadn’t expected that the Ye Family had no intention towards the Celestial Blade Four Commanderies, even declining his invitation to settle in the four commanderies without any expression.
He had repeatedly worried whether the Ye Family lacked Nascent Soul Power and had just put up a façade all along.
But now, he was absolutely certain.
Other forces might make mistakes, but Medicine King Valley definitely wouldn’t make a mistake.
This meant the Ye Family was truly deeply concealed, and he inevitably thought of Ye Jingcheng.
He felt it had been decades since he last saw Ye Jingcheng, and he was curious about what realm Ye Jingcheng had reached.
"What should we do?" Xiao Shao’an from the Xiao Family also spoke.
"There’s no need for deliberate actions. Under the arrangement of the Ye Family, the entire Cyan Cloud Sea Domain is targeting the Qinghe Sect. If the Qinghe Sect acts wisely at this moment, they won’t make a move. However, the fact that all cultivators of Purple Moon Mountain bear the surname Ye doesn’t need to be so tightly sealed anymore!" Master Mo Dao hesitated for a moment but still spoke.
Gift offerings naturally need not be mentioned, as he had long prepared them, but aside from gifts, he intended to unexpectedly leak information about Purple Moon Mountain.
Only in this way could he ensure the safety of the Tian Dao Sect.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators from other forces nodded one after another.
Considering the Tian Dao Sect had the Ye Family as a pillar of support, they were naturally still willing to follow it.
...
At Guest Welcoming Tower, in another loft, Ascendant Qingfeng of the Qinghe Sect landed here.
This time, the Qinghe Sect didn’t bring many cultivators.
In fact, they only arranged for a few Purple Mansion cultivators.
But what angered them was that Medicine King Valley didn’t arrange a palace for them but instead placed them in Guest Welcoming Tower.
Among all the Nascent Soul Powers in the Eastern Domain Sects, only the Qinghe Sect and Celestial Corpse Sect were not assigned palaces.
He was clearly aware this was related to the Earth Immortal Realm, but since this was an invitation for everyone’s lecture, such blatant differential treatment naturally made them dissatisfied.
"Master Qingfeng, a few True Masters from the Celestial Corpse Sect have arrived!" At this moment, a voice rang outside the loft.
"Quickly invite them in!" Ascendant Qingfeng immediately brightened with joy.
This time, the Qinghe Sect only came with Purple Mansion cultivators, so he didn’t dare seek explanations. He was even frightened wondering if he could leave Divine Medicine Valley in Divine Medicine Commandery unharmed after the lecture concluded.
But if he could join forces with the Celestial Corpse Sect, perhaps he wouldn’t only avoid danger, but also regain face and achieve merit for the Qinghe Sect.
At that time, perhaps he could even gather the resources needed for breaking through to the Golden Core.
"Elder Jiuli, Elder Fu Xue." Ascendant Qingfeng, seeing the visitors clearly, stepped forward and cupped his hands repeatedly.
The Qinghe Sect and Celestial Corpse Sect had considerable interactions over the years, so he also recognized the two True Masters from the Celestial Corpse Sect.
"Friend Qingfeng, we’ve come not for anything else, but to discuss an enormous merit with you. If you handle this well, you are sure to return to the Qinghe Sect in triumph!"
"The Ye Family previously refused to acknowledge their involvement with the Beast Desolate Wasteland or admit possessing Spirit Treasures, but now they not only entered Peach Blossom Forest, have palaces, but even stand side by side with Taiyi Sect. What does this signify? It signifies the Ye Family not only engages with the Beast Desolate Wasteland but is the instigator of the two Beast Tides in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, having Nascent Soul cultivators, and even the individuals responsible for killing Master Xi Wang of Xi Wang Valley!"
"When the lecture begins tomorrow, contact cultivators from the Bai Family, Haoyang Daoist Temple, Celestial Water Sect, and other sects to collectively exert pressure and demand justice for the Qinghe Sect’s cultivators. Don’t just aim for renown in this occasion; even upon returning to the Qinghe Sect, you could gain the favor of Ancestor Qinghe, and Golden Core may be within your reach!"
"Perhaps when Sect Leader Qingxi breaks through and becomes Supreme Elder, you might even have the chance to be the next Sect Leader of Qinghe Sect!"
