Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1474 - 1055: Potential Targets, Trade Fair

Therefore, for the first two segments, they had an easy time, spending very little time on them. Some even felt they might not need a third of the allotted time. But upon reaching the third segment, both of their faces flushed extremely red. Blood Qi began to permeate from their bodies, evidently activating their Body Forging Techniques. Their paces gradually slowed down, and the strides they took began to shorten.

"If the two senior brothers from Qinghong Peak are struggling like this, it seems this Body Refining Array is truly extraordinary," a cultivator from the Taiyi Martial Peak remarked. Naturally, he recognized the two Purple Mansion cultivators from Blood King Valley. He also revealed a look of surprise.

"Ye Daoist, your Array is truly impressive." He looked toward Ye Qingwen, who was in charge nearby. The Purple Mansion Cultivator in charge of the Body Refining Array this time was indeed Ye Qingwen.

"It’s just taking a shortcut with the help of the Array. It can’t compare to the profundity of the Martial Peak," Ye Qingwen replied modestly.

Of course, anyone could tell that Ye Qingwen was full of pride at this moment. In his view, the speed of climbing the stairs represented the strength of a Body Cultivator. He had calculated it himself; the Body Cultivators of the Martial Peak and Blood King Valley were all inferior to him. Naturally, he felt a bit proud.

Following the famous Body Cultivators, ordinary Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation cultivators also began to climb the stairs.

"Everyone, climbing the stairs is not about forcing yourself, nor is it about time. It is about how much insight and experience you can gain between the step beneath your feet and the next Tier," Ye Qingwen spoke up again, seeing many people eager for quick success.

Upon hearing this, many people’s faces instantly turned red. They realized that their previous competitiveness had indeed made them lose their cool. They rarely had the opportunity to climb such a Dao ladder on ordinary days, so naturally, they needed to gain as much insight as possible, rather than acting out of momentary bravado and climbing recklessly.

"It is truly quite spectacular!" Once the people from the Martial Peak also started climbing, Ye Qingwen landed in front of the stairs, his gaze fervent and resolute.

Once upon a time, the Ye Family was merely a Purple Mansion Clan. Now, even Purple Mansion Cultivators had to bow and salute sincerely before a staircase built by the Ye Family to show their state of mind. At this moment, there were simply too many people who shared Ye Qingwen’s feelings.

The Nascent Soul ceremony was not only a ceremony for Ye Jingcheng but also one for everyone in the Ye Family. Especially the clansmen of Lingyun Peak; they had endured far more hardships compared to the clansmen of the Desert Sea. They had once endured silently deep in the mountains, and had even been forced to fake their deaths. They had even waited anxiously within the Spirit Mountain for the next moment, not knowing what exactly was coming.

But now, they could tell themselves with absolute certainty that what they had waited for was Chen Xi, hope, and the unparalleled glory of the Ye Family.

In front of a three-story pavilion, two Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Ye Family stood bolt upright. Although they had been reduced to mere gatekeepers, their faces were filled with proud expressions. In the past, the Ye Family could only attend other people’s Purple Mansion trade fairs. However, this trade fair was hosted by the four of them: Ye Jingfeng, Ye Jingli, Ye Qingyan, and Ye Xingqun.

All Purple Mansion Cultivators had to present an invitation for the two of them to inspect. Unlike in the past, when they could only bow and scrape before Purple Mansion experts, this time, even Purple Mansion Cultivators were extremely polite to them.

"It’s over a hundred people, right?" the slightly thin Ye Yunrang asked.

"One hundred and three people, and that doesn’t even count the Purple Mansion members of our Ye Family," the person beside him answered with certainty, then added with a hint of regret, "It’s a pity we can’t guard the doors of the Golden Core trade fair."

In the front courtyard, as the surrounding seats filled up, Ye Jingli cleared his throat.

"Fellow Daoists, comrades, thank you all for attending the Purple Mansion trade fair hosted by the Ye Family. I am Ye Jingli of the Jing Generation. Today’s trade fair will primarily be based on bartering. If anyone wishes to exchange for Spirit Stones, that is also an option. The Ye Family will not collect any commission!

"Now, allow me to get the ball rolling," Ye Jingli finished speaking, his heart still a bit thrilled.

He could guarantee that this was probably his most formal occasion yet. Although he had intended for Ye Jingfeng to speak first—after all, Ye Jingfeng’s Cultivation was slightly higher than his—when it came to reputation, his own was naturally much higher. The status of an Artifact Refiner was nothing to joke about.

He proceeded to take out three Magical Treasures he had refined.

"What I’ve brought out this time is only the Four-Colored Bone Fire Bead, but of course, it is of Top Grade quality," Ye Jingli stated.

Although the name suggested four colors, the bead actually contained five. However, because its aura had not reached the Tier Four level, Ye Jingli was dissatisfied and didn’t name it five-colored.

This scene instantly left the other cultivators somewhat shocked. They had long heard the name of the Four-Colored Bone Fire Bead. Now it seemed that this Top Grade consumable Fire Bead packed an even stronger punch!

"I offer a wisp of Spiritual Fire in exchange for your bead." At this moment, a Purple Mansion Cultivator from the Spirit Talisman Sect spoke up.

Saying so, he took out a Fire Furnace. Inside the Fire Furnace, there was a dancing Spiritual Fire.

"This is a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire," Ye Jingli was instantly utterly shocked.

This wasn’t the first time Ye Jingli had seen a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire; the Red Flame Fox’s Cyan Yang Flame was one such Spiritual Fire. However, the Spiritual Fire before him was naturally no match for the Cyan Yang Flame. Still, it would definitely be helpful for his Artifact Refining. Most crucially, he could also give this Spiritual Fire to his Red Flame Python for consumption and Refinement.

Three days later.

In a different room, Ye Jing Hu, Ye Xuefan, and Ye Jingyu stood in front of the stage as well. Unlike the Purple Mansion Cultivators who numbered over a hundred, there were only forty or so Golden Core Cultivators. This was even with the Tian Dao Sect sending three Golden Cores, and the Ye Family also having three Golden Cores present.

One could imagine that Golden Core Cultivators were far rarer than Purple Mansion Cultivators. Even a Nascent Soul Power definitely wouldn’t have many. After all, the Gold Condensing Pill was just as rare, and those who broke through without relying on the Gold Condensing Pill were in the minority. Even Fake Pill Cultivators who broke through using a Demon King’s Inner Core were not considered numerous.

The one kicking things off this time was Ye Jingyu. As the Ye Family gradually surfaced, more of Ye Jingyu’s deeds were naturally praised and spread. Compared to Ye Xuefan and Ye Jing Hu, Ye Jingyu’s reputation was still somewhat greater.

He also took out three Array Discs. Each was a Tier Four High Grade Array Disc, and one of them even included chess pieces.

"If arranged well, all three of these Array Discs can allow one to fight against three or even five opponents. I am only trading them for these Spirit Medicines," Ye Jingyu said, taking out a Jade Talisman.

He was not seeking treasures for himself. For him, Ye Jingcheng was already helping with the refining of Spirit Pills for his Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and Blue Jade Flood Dragon. There wasn’t much else he could do, so he could only search for more Spirit Medicines for Ye Jingcheng. In his eyes, this was something he absolutely had to do.

"I have a Tier Four Wind Heart Flower." At this moment, a cultivator still nodded.

The temptation of a Tier Four Array was quite substantial.

Next, the Ye Family’s Ye Jing Hu and Ye Xuefan also began to exchange treasures.

The day before the Nascent Soul ceremony, the entire Lingyun Market felt somewhat crowded, even though it had been expanded significantly. Even Purple Mansion and Golden Core experts were now appearing in the Restaurants and the Street Vendor Square. Naturally, this made the entire Market appear exceptionally lively.

Meanwhile, Nascent Soul Cultivators were also arriving one after another. Medicine King Valley sent two Nascent Souls: True Monarch Qingchen and Fuyun True Monarch. The Taiyi Sect sent Fairy Linghong. The Cyan Spirit Trading Association sent True Monarch Qingling, while the Spirit Talisman Sect and Blood King Valley sent True Monarch Simurgh and Xueyun Monarch, respectively.

At this moment, they all gathered at the temporary palace!

Although there weren’t many Nascent Souls, in Ye Jingcheng’s view, having fewer people actually felt more intimate. As for other Nascent Souls, Ye Jingcheng didn’t hold any expectations. After all, relations were currently tense to begin with. Coupled with the Beast Tide that Ye Jingcheng had instigated, the Four Sects of the Eastern Domain had suffered terribly.

Only the Beast Spirit Sect of the Han Kingdom Cultivation Realm and the Celestial Corpse Sect of the Chu Kingdom Cultivation Realm were still living relatively carefree.

"Jingcheng, we still can’t be careless. My premonition is not good," Ye Jingyu warned Ye Jingcheng from the side.

"Mhm, my Divine Sense has been covering the area the entire time. Also, you should point the Thousand-mile Mirror toward the interior of the mountain range. I’m worried the Penglai Sect might still go searching within the mountains!" Ye Jingcheng nodded.

Although the Ye Family had the Teleportation Array and the risks had decreased, the Penglai Sect possessed an extraordinary array of methods. The Ye Family had to be on guard.

"Alright, I’ll go right now. In addition, I will also have the clansmen arranged with the Shadow Wood Puppets keep a constant watch!"
