Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 1246 - 866: The Mansion Master’s Invitation and Promise

The aroma of the Hundred Fragrance Tea reaches its peak as you approach.

If you close your eyes and savor it carefully, it feels like a garden blooming with a hundred flowers slowly unfolding before you.

The artistic conception is particularly marvelous.

Ye Jingcheng did not stand on ceremony. After experiencing it for a while, he accepted the Spirit Tea and took a delicate sip.

Just from that one sip, Ye Jingcheng felt the water attribute True Essence within him begin to churn, causing his cultivation technique to activate involuntarily.

"Qianchen Daoist, you shouldn’t drink so much of this Hundred Fragrance Tea in one breath," Prince Wang seemingly forgot himself, quickly reminding him.

However, by then, Ye Jingcheng had already drunk it all in one sip.

After all, it was just a thumb-sized teacup.

"Prince Wang, this Spirit Tea must be Tier Four Top-Grade Spirit Tea!" Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but inquire.

"I’ve only just acquired it not long ago," Prince Wang admitted, implicitly confirming the quality of the tea.

After speaking, he took Ye Jingcheng’s teacup and poured him another, with both of them seated in the master’s chairs across the Eight Immortals Table, watching each other.

As they sipped the Spirit Tea, there emerged a sense of newfound friendship, seemingly lamenting not having met sooner.

Of course, they were both reluctant to speak first and thus focused their attention on the tea instead.

Prince Wang assumed that Ye Jingcheng, being such a young genius, might be inexperienced in worldly affairs, but it appeared the opposite was true.

Ye Jingcheng was too shrewd, shrewd enough to make Prince Wang feel as if Xiao Wankun were sitting beside him.

The feeling of leaving no room for error left Prince Wang at a loss.

However, after they finished two cups of Spirit Tea, both appeared somewhat refreshed and radiant.

Prince Wang finally spoke:

"Qianchen Daoist, may I boldly ask how long it took you to break the Demon Jade Mountain’s Array? If it’s convenient, I might be able to offer you a grand opportunity!"

Ye Jingcheng did not respond immediately upon hearing this.

At the trade fair, Prince Wang had wanted an Array-Breaking Talisman.

Now, asking about the timing of breaking the Array, it seemed likely related to a Tier Five Secret Realm or Inheritance Cave Mansion.

He relied on peach wood to break the Array.

Naturally, he couldn’t lend it, but if he wanted to go himself, he’d need to ponder it carefully.

Yet, if he refused, the other could guess that he did indeed break the Demon Jade Mountain’s Mountain Protection Array in just an instant.

After some deliberation, Ye Jingcheng nodded.

"I can break Tier Four Arrays, but I’m not sure about anything higher!" Ye Jingcheng added.

"Moreover, I’m not an Array Master."

"Qianchen Daoist, don’t be quick to refuse. Do you know why, seven years ago, we dared to venture deep into the Profound Celestial Demon Sect’s Nanman Province?"

When Ye Jingcheng heard this, he instinctively had an answer.

However, outwardly, he still shook his head.

"I don’t know."

"Have you heard of the Earth Immortal Realm, Qianchen Daoist?" Prince Wang asked again.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head again.

Though he knew something, it was all hearsay, and he wasn’t sure of its accuracy, so pretending ignorance seemed the best approach.

"There’s talk of three thousand large worlds, three thousand medium worlds, and three thousand small worlds. Are you aware of this, Qianchen Daoist?"

"Of course, the number three thousand isn’t precise; it’s a generalization. No one truly knows the exact number of realms. For instance, linked with the Great Yu Realm are the Mortal Dust World, Taiyuan Realm, and countless mini worlds!"

"But these details aren’t crucial. For cultivators, the most important goals remain ascension to the Spirit Realm and Immortal Realm, and ultimately seeking eternal life," Prince Wang continued.

"The Earth Immortal Realm is reputedly the closest place to the Spirit Realm. There are even rumors of cultivators entering the Earth Immortal Realm from the Spirit Realm, and vice versa!"

"Of course, these claims are distant and unproven, but the spiritual objects found in the Earth Immortal Realm are exceedingly rare, enough to tempt even the Nine Great Immortal Sects!"

"It’s said that the Righteous Seal, a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, and the True Spirit Blood from two Immortal Families were acquired in the Earth Immortal Realm, highlighting its allure!"

"Besides these legendary treasures, the realm contains numerous Spirit Realm inheritances. Treasures crucial for breaking into the Nascent Soul Stage are less rare in comparison!"

"If fortunate within the realm, one might find Tier Six Spiritual Medicines. Capturing any of these medicines allows you to trade them with the Righteous Sect for a Nascent Soul Pill, accompanied by a Heavenly Dao Oath ensuring protection during your breakthrough without personal restrictions. Nascent Soul cultivators attaining Tier Six medicines can become direct disciples of their Sect’s Divinity Transformation elders and even core members of Immortal Sects!"

"That’s why, every three hundred years, Nascent Souls and Golden Cores, like moths to a flame, rush into the Earth Immortal Realm!"

"The Profound Celestial Demon Sect is also biding its time, despite significant losses, refraining from igniting full-scale war between the two provinces. Everyone is holding their breath, ready to make their mark in the Earth Immortal Realm. Of course, after the Earth Immortal Realm, the Gui Xuan Sect might not remain so peaceful!" Prince Wang clearly had extensive knowledge about the Earth Immortal Realm.

Evidently, the Righteous Sect had not enforced strict secrecy on the matter.

While disclosing all these facts, Prince Wang also warned Ye Jingcheng.

The Gui Xuan Sect might retaliate against the Ye Family and Celestial Sand Sect following the Earth Immortal Realm expedition.

After all, Ye Jingcheng, merely a Golden Core cultivator, had destroyed the Demon Jade Mountain in front of the Gui Xuan Sect and snatched the Cyan Spring Sect’s legacy.

"What I need your help with is also within the Earth Immortal Realm. I made a deal with a Sect Cultivator. They have a location suspected to be a Tier Five inheritance, where luck may lead to the discovery of the Nine Curves Spirit Ginseng. Even without such luck, substantial Tier Five spiritual objects can be exchanged with the Sect for a Nascent Soul Pill, which is extremely valuable for me!"

"Indeed, this venture offers you great benefits as well. As a cultivator of the Righteous Sect, I have the freedom to extract Tier Four and Tier Five Spiritual Medicines, needing to submit only thirty percent. In contrast, you’d need to submit forty percent, that’s one advantage!"

"Secondly, after breaking the Array, besides Tier Five High-Grade Spiritual Medicines and treasures, you would receive fifteen percent of the proceeds. But don’t think that’s little; during the Earth Immortal Realm trip, I won’t act alone. Apart from you, there are three others. With your Middle Stage Golden Core, albeit possessing Golden Core Peak combat power, your share would remain at fifteen percent."

"Thirdly, you could copy all the cultivation techniques from this inheritance!"

"Fourthly, you’d gain friendship with both Xiao Wankun and me. Although the short-term impact might be minimal, Xiao Wankun and I have influence and positions within the Righteous Sect. If the Celestial Sand Sect is strong enough, the Profound Puppet Sect can’t move against you, nor can the Gui Xuan Sect!"

Prince Wang outlined several conditions that Ye Jingcheng found hard to refuse.

His greatest advantage lay with the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

As long as he avoided unnecessary risks and had Nascent Soul reserves, he would remain unbeatable.

"Prince Wang, this is a huge undertaking for me. May I consider it for two days?"

"Before the end of the lecture, I’ll provide a response. Naturally, regarding the inheritance matter, I’ll swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to keep it secret!" Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment before responding.

Despite feeling reasonably confident, the significance of the Earth Immortal Realm and involvement with the Righteous Sect warranted utmost caution.

Of course, even if he chose to accept, he must tread carefully.

On the surface, he was merely a Middle Stage Golden Core cultivator. Showing too much eagerness could prompt suspicion from Prince Wang.

"This matter should indeed be pondered carefully, so let’s proceed as you suggest. But Qianchen Daoist, during these two days, I hope you won’t mind my company!" Prince Wang said with a smile.

Following this, he raised his teacup, inviting Ye Jingcheng for more Spirit Tea. Even when Ye Jingcheng finished and prepared to leave, Prince Wang brought out a jade box, handing it to him.

Inside it was half an ounce of Hundred Fragrance Tea.

One shouldn’t compare the difference between gifting two ounces versus half an ounce.

The quality disparity between the two was quite vast.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that even with Prince Wang’s status, he wouldn’t have much of it.

"Thank you, Prince Wang!" Ye Jingcheng expressed his gratitude, bowing.

He did not decline the offer.

He knew that since it was given, it was sincerely meant, rejecting it would be inappropriate.

Additionally, he genuinely enjoyed the Spirit Tea.

"By the way, you can bring out your Profound Light Ship as well, and I will repair it for you!"
