Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1430 - 1026: Deliberation on the Western Domain
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
As the auction concluded, countless Cultivators, still wanting more, merged back into the bustling crowds.
Tier Five auctions were extremely rare in the Eastern Domain. After all, the total number of Nascent Soul Cultivators across all the Sects wasn’t that large to begin with. Factoring out those in Seclusion or focused on their Cultivation, the number was even smaller.
For instance, at this trading conference, even with the Nascent Soul Cultivators from Medicine King Valley and the Western Domain combined, there were only a little over twenty people.
And that was considered a large turnout. A typical Nascent Soul trading conference with just five or six attendees would be considered a formal gathering.
Auctions were even rarer. The last Tier Five auction in the Eastern Domain had been held back when Celestial Horse Pass was defending against the Beast Tide and Sikong Ziming broke through to the Nascent Soul realm. This alone showed how uncommon such an event was.
Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingli, and the others also exited from a side entrance.
As Nascent Soul Cultivators from a family with the backing of a Nascent Soul Power, the Ye Family naturally didn’t have to squeeze through the main entrance with everyone else. They had a special side exit.
However, to Ye Jingcheng’s surprise, True Monarch Qingchen was waiting for him.
The latter, dressed in a long robe, stood at the entrance of his temporary residence.
"Qingchen Daoist, what is this...?" Ye Jingcheng was naturally a bit puzzled.
"Ye Daoist, I’ve come this time to tell you some good news," True Monarch Qingchen said with a smile.
He then glanced around, and Ye Jingcheng immediately understood. He led True Monarch Qingchen inside the residence.
Meanwhile, Ye Jingli and the other Ye Family Members waited at the entrance.
Once inside the residence, Ye Jingcheng set up an Array and lit an Incense Burner that filled the air with a faint smoke. He also prepared some Spirit Tea.
Only then did True Monarch Qingchen speak.
"Ye Daoist, this is a joyous occasion. Jinling True Monk has decided to provide some Spirit Medicines and Treasures in support. Ye Daoist, you can submit a list and purchase them at a normal price. At the same time, you can also arrange for your clan members to enter the Western Domain. These members can join Sects there. Of course, all of this must be done in secret," True Monarch Qingchen explained.
Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng’s interest was piqued.
’First, regarding the Spirit Medicines,’ he thought, ’if I have Jinguang Temple’s help, it’ll be much easier to obtain the Advancement Pill Spirit Materials.’
’Second is arranging for clan members to enter the Western Domain.’
This was also quite important. The Ye Family had been considering this ever since Jinguang Temple began its sermons.
For the Ye Family, Jinguang Temple’s strength wasn’t the most important factor. The most important thing was its location.
According to some ancient texts, the Western Domain where Jinguang Temple was located was mostly desert.
What the Ye Family feared was that Jinguang Temple’s Desert Domain was connected to the Desert Sea. If that were the case, the Ye Family would have to be on constant alert.
The Divine Sense of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator was undoubtedly terrifying. If the Desert Sea were discovered, it would be very difficult for the Ye Family to hold on to the Earth Immortal Platform in the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land.
"Qingchen Daoist, are there any restrictions regarding this matter?" Ye Jingcheng asked.
For the clan members sent to the Western Domain, the Ye Family naturally planned to use those without the family’s core bloodline or those without the Communication Beast ability.
This way, they wouldn’t expose any of the Ye Family’s secrets.
Even clan members who had been to the Desert Sea would be excluded.
Only clan members who had always stayed on Lingyun Peak would be suitable candidates.
"There are no major restrictions, but the Western Domain places more emphasis on Body Refining and also values one’s temperament," True Monarch Qingchen said.
After a moment of thought, he added,
"But don’t send too many people. Three to four would be best. Also, it would be wise to prepare an entrance gift for each of them to present to their new Sect."
Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded.
’For a Major Sect like that, if we send some gifts, our clan members will have an easier time inside. They won’t be starting with absolutely no foundation.’
’And perhaps the Ye Family can even use this opportunity to set up a Teleportation Array and establish a connection with the Western Domain.’
Of course, even if they set up a Teleportation Array, the Ye Family couldn’t use it freely in the short term, let alone directly and secretly infiltrate the Western Domain. At most, it would only allow them to make a simple judgment as to whether the Western Domain was truly connected to the Desert Sea.
In the time that followed, Ye Jingcheng did indeed submit a list.
On the list were some of the Spirit Medicines he needed, mixed in with others to obscure his true intentions.
As an Alchemy Master, Ye Jingcheng knew how to hide his true needs to protect his Pill Formulas.
After receiving the list and exchanging a few more words, True Monarch Qingchen also took his leave.
Medicine King Valley was quite busy at the moment, and they also had to be on guard against troublemakers among those who had attended the auction.
Ye Jingcheng had no intention of lingering either and headed straight for the Teleportation Array.
The Teleportation Array activated, and in a world-illuminating flash of white light, Ye Jingcheng and the Ye Family Members were back on Lingyun Peak.
As soon as he arrived on Lingyun Peak, Ye Jingcheng made his way to the Assembly Hall.
The choice of who to send to the Western Domain was crucial, and the sooner they were selected, the better. Moreover, it would be best if a high-ranking member of the Ye Family was among them, as they would be better able to determine if the region bordered the Desert Sea.
Inside the Assembly Hall, Ye Jingyu, Ye Jingfeng, and Ye Jingyun were already present.
The three of them were discussing arrangements concerning the Tian Dao Sect.
The Tian Dao Sect was now considered one of the Ye Family’s subordinate Sects. The Ye Family had some say in matters like the Sect’s security and the mining of its Spirit Veins.
Although things were safe for now, one could never be too careful.
"Jingcheng, your timing is perfect," Ye Jingyu said immediately upon seeing him arrive. "A Secret Realm has been discovered in Yanhui Commandery. It might be one that was once controlled by the Eight Desolates Sect. We’re currently discussing whether we should go and explore it."
The Qinghe Sect’s four commanderies were the largest in the Yan Kingdom, and they contained numerous Secret Realms and Treasures.
This particular Secret Realm was in Yanhui Commandery. Coincidentally, the Ye Family’s first Upper-Grade Spirit Stone Vein was also located in Yanhui Commandery. It was there that they had obtained a portion of the Pill Desolate’s legacy.
But precisely because it was in Yanhui Commandery, the Ye Family had to worry whether it was a trap set by the Qinghe Sect.
