Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

On Sha Huang Mountain, it was already midday.

The sunlight had grown especially dazzling, and the Five-Colored Spiritual Radiance in the sky became ever denser, making the entire ceremony appear all the more grand and magnificent.

As more and more people arrived, it was estimated that there were already five to six thousand Cultivators on Sha Huang Mountain.

Don’t think five or six thousand is few; after all, most Clan Cultivators coming here sent only a few people as representatives, it was impossible for the whole clan to come.

And besides those who came up the mountain to offer their congratulations, there were quite a few Cultivators standing around the vicinity of Sha Huang Mountain.

These Cultivators couldn’t bring out suitable gifts, but still wished to try their luck for some opportunity; today was a joyful day for the Celestial Sand Sect, so naturally they would not drive people away.

As phenomena kept appearing, at some unknown time Ye Xingliu had already landed beside Ye Qinghe.

Now that it was Golden Core Cultivators taking the stage, it would no longer do for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to be the ones cheering.

As Duan Chuanyun walked over holding a Jade Box, Ye Xingliu hurried forward to invite him in.

"Duan Family’s True Master Chuanyun congratulates True Master Qianchen on his Golden Core Grand Ceremony, and specially presents one Tier Three High-Grade Cyan Jade Lotus Tea Tree and one Tier Four Cloud Mist Grass."

As the cheers fell, a patch of five-colored cloud flew over in the sky, at times turning into a Phoenix Shadow, at times into the image of a crane.

Sometimes leaping, sometimes crying out high above, like a Spirit Beast performance, in the end it turned into a Spiritual Rain that fell down to nourish all around.

The Spiritual Rain drifted onto the Duan Family’s Cultivators, and also onto the nearby Cultivators, eliciting waves of exclamations and sighs.

One must know, although this Spiritual Rain seemed easy enough to pour down, it actually required Spiritual Spring Water to operate; just this one cloud of mist cost at least several thousand Spirit Stones.

As the Spiritual Rain drifted past, in the distance Ye Jingcheng also walked down, personally inviting Duan Chuanyun up Sha Huang Mountain.

"Congratulations, Duan Daoist!" Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands. He had long noticed that Duan Chuanyun was waiting in the pavilion, but since today was the day of the ceremony, it would not have been appropriate for him to go down the mountain in advance to invite him.

Only now that the other party had presented his gift, could he properly go down the mountain to receive him and invite him up.

Their Gold Condensing Pill had been refined by him, so he naturally knew the details; moreover, since the Duan Family had provided three Gold Condensing Fruits when they commissioned him, he still had three Gold Condensing Pills left over. Counting it up, the Ye Family’s gains were far greater than the Duan Family’s.

That the other party succeeded in one try, he was sincerely happy for them.

Furthermore, with the other party standing in the pavilion like this, others might very well associate Duan Chuanyun’s Gold Condensing Pill with the Ye Family’s refining; perhaps in the future there would be more Cultivators coming with Gold Condensing Fruits to ask him to refine Gold Condensing Pills!

"It is I, Duan, who should be thanking Daoist Qianchen for the grace of achieving the Dao. It is just that the Duan Family has only just entered Golden Core, our treasures and finances have yet to recover, and we can only present some rather shallow things!" Duan Chuanyun said with a smile.

He did not conceal his words, nor did he use Transmission, so at once many people came to understand that Ye Jingcheng was not only a Tier Four Alchemist, but could also refine Gold Condensing Pills.

And at Duan Chuanyun’s words, Ye Jingcheng’s impression of him improved quite a bit.

After all, the other party’s clan likely had a Gold Condensing Fruit Tree, and to speak so openly now did entail a certain risk.

Still, given that the other party was already at Golden Core, and with the rules on this side, there was no need to worry too much.

But this favor, Ye Jingcheng still had to accept.

"These treasures of Duan Daoist are anything but shallow; each and every one could stand as a rare treasure of the Celestial Sand Sect. When the Duan Family holds its own Golden Core Ceremony, I will have to think at length about what treasures to present in return!" Ye Jingcheng pondered for a moment, then replied with a smile.

He then invited Duan Chuanyun and Duan Qingtan into the Guest Welcoming Palace before the Assembly Hall of the Celestial Sand Sect.

"Master Zifu of the Zifu Sect congratulates True Master Qianchen on his Golden Core Grand Ceremony, and specially presents three pieces of Tier Four Cyan Cloud Profound Sandalwood!"

While Ye Jingcheng was inviting Duan Chuanyun up the mountain, Master Zifu over there also presented his treasures; as the cheers fell, there likewise drifted out a Ling Yun, which after putting on a brief display likewise turned into Spiritual Rain that fell down to nourish the land.

Ye Jingcheng also went forward to receive him.

"Zifu Daoist, it has been many days; Daoist’s bearing is even more impressive, and your Cultivation has greatly advanced as well!"

"You make Daoist Qianchen laugh; this little progress of mine is nothing compared to Daoist Qianchen’s Breaking Realm in ten years. Daoist truly deserves to be counted among the most talented Cultivators in our Xiaoshan Prefecture." Master Zifu could not help being slightly taken aback when he first saw Ye Jingcheng, for he suddenly sensed that Ye Jingcheng’s aura was already at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, then he smiled and offered his congratulations.

He had indeed extended his Lifespan considerably after taking the Longevity Spiritual Peach, and because he had narrowly escaped death in Jiayuan Prefecture, he had actually turned misfortune into blessing and improved his Cultivation quite a bit.

But even so, compared to Ye Jingcheng, the difference was far too great.

Not to mention, the other party had previously been a Tier Four Middle-grade Alchemist; now that he had broken through to the Middle Stage of Golden Core, it was likely that before long he would become a Tier Four High-grade Alchemist.

Such terrifying talent he had only seen before in the Mansion Master of Xiaoshan Prefecture, and that man was already one of the Golden Core Cultivators in the entire Southern Wilderness Province most likely to break through to Nascent Soul in recent years.

"It was nothing but good fortune!" Ye Jingcheng invited Master Zifu as well into the Guest Welcoming Palace.

"Lady He of the Hehuan Sect congratulates True Master Qianchen on his Golden Core Grand Ceremony, and specially presents one portion of Cloud Profound Willow Wood Demon Wood Heart of Tier Four!" At this moment, Lady He of the Hegu Sect also appeared.

Compared to their first meeting, Lady He was clearly more downcast and joyless.

Previously she had been plump and curvaceous, every frown and every smile enchanting and soul-stealing.

Now, however, she had become a bit wooden and reserved.

Obviously, because she could not yet accept Master Yu Yun’s passing to the Immortal Realm all at once.

Such things were far too common in the Cultivation Realm.

Unlike Mortals, whose spouses could accompany each other for at most just over eighty years.

A Cultivator’s lifespan was several times that of Mortals; He Yu Dual Cultivation, for example, had already become Daoist partners back when they were at Foundation Establishment, and had been in mutual longing and companionship for over five hundred years.

Such a blow was naturally immense.

Of course, aside from Lady He’s condition, what delighted Ye Jingcheng the most was this Cloud Profound Willow Wood Heart of Tier Four.

This could serve as the most crucial Wood Heart within a Tier Four Peach Wood Block.

It might even allow Peach Wood to break through.

Judging from the advancement effect of the Peach Wood, in this advancement, the Spiritual Peaches borne by the Peach Wood Demon might extend Spiritual Lifespan by at least a hundred years, which naturally moved Ye Jingcheng.

"Many thanks, Lady He!" Since the other party had given such a generous gift, Ye Jingcheng was all the more courteous as he invited her into the mountain.

Once Lady He finished presenting her gift,

it was Feng Daoran and the Shan Kui True Master of the Profound Puppet Sect.

The former sent a Tier Four Talisman Treasure, while the latter gifted a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Puppet.

Both were incomparably precious treasures.

As the Spiritual Rain fell, Ye Jingcheng also invited the two into the Guest Welcoming Palace.

"Master Qian He of Hundred Beasts Sect under Wangqing Prefecture, congratulates Master Qianchen on his Golden Core Ceremony, and specially presents two drops of Tier Four Thunder Profound Tiger Essence Blood!"

Once the Golden Core Cultivators from Xiaoshan Prefecture finished arriving, it was clearly Wangqing Prefecture’s Golden Core Cultivators’ turn.

Master Qian He, who had once participated in an auction together with Ye Jingcheng, was even the first to arrive.

He also sent up Essence Blood of a Tier Four Thunder Profound Tiger.

Although this Essence Blood was useless to Ye Jingcheng himself, in the future he could give it to Ye Jing Hu, who just happened to have a Thunder Attribute Spirit Tiger Spirit Beast.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng also had to consider whether there was any other meaning behind the other party’s offering of Essence Blood.

After all, strictly speaking, because of Master Zifu, he had indeed cut in and snatched away Essence Blood that Hundred Beasts Sect wanted; Ye Jingcheng still kept the Token that person had left behind to this day.

"Many thanks, Qian He Daoist!" Ye Jingcheng’s expression did not change in the slightest as he stepped forward and invited the other party into the palace.

Master Qian He’s expression also did not change; he merely asked:

"I have heard that Qianchen Daoist is also versed in Spirit Beasts. If there is time, we can exchange insights more often."

"Naturally!" Ye Jingcheng was perfectly clear in his heart that the other party had probably guessed the truth, but since matters concerning Essence Blood and Spirit Beasts’ Advancement were involved, Ye Jingcheng naturally would not let much slip.

Of course, since the other party had not come to hold him accountable, Ye Jingcheng also could not say too much, so he glossed it over vaguely.

After Master Qian He finished presenting his treasure, he was invited into the Guest Welcoming Palace.

After that, two more Golden Core Cultivators from Wangqing Prefecture presented treasures. Ye Jingcheng had never met these two Golden Core Cultivators, but he had heard their names.

One was Early Stage of Golden Core, the other Middle Stage of Golden Core; Ye Jingcheng also invited them in respectfully.

"Master Xuan Jing of Tianshu Mansion, congratulates Master Qianchen on his Golden Core Ceremony, and specially presents a set of Tier Four Spirit Gathering Array Discs!"

Just as Ye Jingcheng had finished sending off the two True Masters from Wangqing Prefecture, he saw yet another Golden Core Cultivator from Tianshu Mansion come bearing a gift.

And the gift was actually a set of Tier Four Spirit Gathering Array Discs, whose value was by no means low.

Moreover, it was from a Golden Core Cultivator of Tianshu Mansion.

Ye Jingcheng also attached great importance to this.

After all, Xiaoshan Prefecture was too close to the border. Although it was easy to integrate, development also required greater caution.

If the Ye Family wanted to develop more steadily and safely, then using Tianshu Mansion’s Teleportation Array to step into other prefectures in the Central Domain would appear especially important.

Although the Ye Family had already arranged for Ye Jingtting to establish a power, it was, after all, only a Foundation Establishment Power, and its influence was negligible.

"Many thanks, Xuanji Daoist!" Ye Jingcheng likewise stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Qianchen Daoist, your great name has long been known to me. Many Golden Core Cultivators have entered Jiayuan Prefecture, but as for those who entered Jiayuan Prefecture, broke through the mountain gate alone, and retreated unscathed, I have seen only you." Master Xuan Jing cupped his hands and spoke.

The other party had clearly also participated in the operation to seize Divine Light True Monarch’s legacy and knew well how difficult Jiayuan Prefecture’s operation had been.

"It was merely good fortune; I still need to seek much advice from Daoists like you." Ye Jingcheng replied modestly.

He also did not chat too much.

After all, there were still other True Masters waiting before the mountain gate.

Sure enough, at the mountain gate, Ye Xingliu again called out in a clear voice.

This time it was also a Golden Core Cultivator from Tianshu Mansion.

"That’s the tenth Golden Core, isn’t it?"

"I’m afraid this Celestial Sand Sect will rank among the famous powers in Southern Wilderness Province in the future!"

At this moment, the Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the foot of the mountain were already somewhat numb to the Spiritual Rain.

It was not that they had never attended a Golden Core ceremony, but this was the first time they had ever seen so many Golden Core Cultivators attend in person as today.

Normally, when a prefecture produced one Golden Core, the ceremony would basically only be attended by the prefecture’s own Golden Core Cultivators.

Only when a Nascent Soul Sect like the Profound Puppet Sect, whose influence spanned several prefectures, held a ceremony would Golden Core Cultivators gather in such numbers.

And as the crowd conversed, the eleventh streak of Spiritual Rain fell.

"True Master Qian Kui of the Profound Puppet Sect, specially presents one section of Tier Four Soul-Reviving Wood, to congratulate Qianchen Daoist on his Golden Core Ceremony." With this resounding announcement, Ye Jingcheng was also extremely surprised.

After all, the Profound Puppet Sect had already sent Shan Kui True Master; normally, there was no need to send another.

Yet now True Master Qian Kui had sent another gift.

Of course, doubts were doubts; Ye Jingcheng could not very well question it, and still invited True Master Qian Kui into the Guest Welcoming Palace atop Sha Huang Mountain.
