Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book - Chapter 1066 - 746: Auction, Immortal Foundation
Jade Cloud Islands, within a mini world.
Here lies an endless grassland, countless cattle and sheep grazing in herds, while herdsmen ride tall red horses to drive the massive herds of cattle and sheep.
Several children are riding cows, playing joyfully, completely ignoring the calls of the adults behind them.
Of course, their gaze extends to the distant end of the peaks.
It’s said that at the end of the peaks, there reside omnipotent cultivators.
Naturally, they yearn with their heart and spirit, but the mountains can only be seen and imagined.
Yet cannot be touched, cannot be heard!
And at this moment, unbeknownst to them, a figure at the top of the peak is gazing at the grasslands, watching the joyful play of the cattle and sheep, lost in thought.
This figure is Ye Jingyu, whose gaze is somewhat dazed at this moment.
In his eyes, the daily toil under the sun, resting with sunset.
Merely focusing on meals, paradoxically brings a unique feeling.
“A mortal realm without war, without intrusion, is indeed exceptionally beautiful!”
Suddenly, the voice of Ye Haige is heard behind him.
This mini world isn’t large, only the size of a few islands.
Yet, it sustains over a hundred thousand mortals.
Just because there are very few spirit veins here, scarcely any, it becomes a place where the Yu Family provides population.
Such a place, Ye Haige even suspects the Yu Family might forget.
After all, lacking spirit veins also means the likelihood of producing cultivators with spirit roots is much lower!
But undeniably, it is safe, without spiritual energy, no demon beasts will invade this mini world.
“Uncle Hai He!” Seeing Ye Haige arrive, Ye Jingyu promptly bows in greeting.
“Beauty must be defended with strength. If you become a Nascent Soul cultivator, you can decide the fate of mortals in a cultivation kingdom. If you become a Divinity Transformation cultivator, you can decide the fate of mortals across the Eastern Domain!” Ye Haige naturally understands the reason for Ye Jingyu’s dazed state.
Ye Xingliu had more than one child. Before Ye Jingyu, there was another, who treated Ye Jingyu extremely well, but lacked spirit roots and branched out in the mortal world.
Meanwhile, the mortals of the Ye Family have been continually in turmoil over the years.
Frankly speaking, they truly live no better than these mortals on the grassland who sunbathe and herd sheep.
“Indeed!” Ye Jingyu nods.
“There’s news from Celestial Horse Pass, the Flood Dragon race has retreated!” Upon seeing Ye Jingyu come back to his senses, Ye Haige speaks.
“Second uncle said, Penglai Immortal Sect’s Divinity Transformation cultivators might have arrived, advising us not to go out for now!”
“This might indeed be possible, but whether the next steps will be war or peace is hard to predict!” Ye Jingyu thinks for a moment and also speaks.
The Celestial Flood Dragon Sea is undoubtedly incredibly powerful.
Their retreat might be due to the covert presence of Divinity Transformation aura at Celestial Horse Pass, while the Demon Saint of Celestial Flood Dragon Sea might be reluctant to act lightly outside Celestial Flood Dragon Sea now.
Whether to fully engage in war against Celestial Flood Dragon Sea next, Ye Jingyu remains uncertain.
If Celestial Horse Pass does not proceed with much battle, it’s likely the Flood Dragons of Celestial Flood Dragon Sea might compromise.
Offering a few treasures in exchange for a secure breakthrough is quite normal, and for Penglai Immortal Sect, whether it is war or peace, they are winners.
Even if conflicts escalate with the Eastern Sea Demon Race in the future, the ones to bear the consequences wouldn’t be the Immortal Sect but the two countries of Qi and Lu.
“Let’s observe the situation further. Currently, various sects have begun subduing the entire Cyan Cloud Sea Domain!” Ye Haige also speaks.
After speaking, Ye Haige leaves the peak, while Ye Jingyu continues to gaze at the grassland, until the sunset, and the cattle vanish completely.
Only then does he turn around, at this moment his heart and spirit feel an unprecedented longing for strength.
He returns to his simple grotto heaven in the mountains.
Inside the grotto heaven, a Flood Dragon Egg is soaking in Spirit Liquid. With no spiritual energy here, naturally, Ye Jingyu needs to arrange a Spirit Array to nourish this Flood Dragon Egg.
He keeps one egg for himself, the other he gave to Ye Haifei.
After all, Ye Haifei currently lacks a useful Spirit Beast.
While he has a Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, he now also possesses a young Blue Jade Flood Dragon.
If nurtured properly, the Blue Jade Flood Dragon might be born as a Tier Three Great Demon.
After all, this is not some mixed-blood Half-Flood Dragon.
But at this moment, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon has a bit of temper.
After all, it was the one who found this Flood Dragon Egg, yet now it seems it will be of equal standing…
And so, several days pass.
Ye Jingyu wakes from cultivation, feeling the Flood Dragon Egg move slightly, upon closer inspection, the Spirit Liquid has dried up.
He then replaces it with Spirit Liquid.
The Blue Jade Flood Dragon emits a satisfied Divine Soul fluctuation, having made a Blood Contract, it is now extremely dependent on Ye Jingyu.
Ye Jingyu comforts it slightly, before putting it into the Spirit Beast Bag.
Heading towards the center of the mountain.
Shortly after, he arrives at a modest grand hall.
Along with him come other members of the Ye Family Purple Mansion, including Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators Ye Xingliu and Ye Xingmu.
“The reason for summoning you today is due to a change in circumstances!” Ye Xuecang begins to speak.
His gaze was full of solemnity.
Then, he set up two arrays again.
“Currently, we must split into two groups again!” Once the arrays were arranged, Ye Xuecang spoke reluctantly.
“Divine Monarch Tian De is currently stationed at Celestial Horse Pass, holding an auction. I can’t go back, and True Monarch Baiyu now holds the Ancient Treasure, the Sea Mirror. Xuefu and Hai He should also stay, while everyone else who hasn’t been exposed can leave!” Ye Xuecang said.
He has a Spirit Treasure with him, and naturally cannot wander around Celestial Horse Pass.
Not to mention being sensed; even the slightest trace of aura sensed could make Divine Monarch Tian De take action.
Spirit Treasures are not ordinary magical treasures; their presence cannot be ignored.
Such a scenario would easily mark Ye Xuecang as a spy or undercover agent.
Is there anyone in the entire Eastern Domain who would oppose the Divine Monarch?
“I’ll stay too!” Ye Haifei said proactively.
He had previously exposed himself while facing off against the Qinghe Sect, so he was also unsuitable to go to Celestial Horse Pass.
Moreover, with the four of them absent, only Ye Jingyu, a Purple Mansion Cultivator, would remain, plus over a hundred other clan members.
Most of these clan members are Hidden Peak Cultivators, so there’s no fear of exposure.
Even if Ye Jingyu and Ye Xingliu were previously somewhat famous in Yan Kingdom, they only stayed within the Purple Mansion Influence.
Very few within the Nascent Soul Powers would remember either of them.
Actually, the most prudent approach is for everyone not to leave.
Once the Ye Family sends a Grotto Heaven over, at that time, there will be no risk at all.
But at this time, the Ye Family in Taihang Commandery lacks a leader who can coordinate, and the teleportation array to communicate with Desert Sea has already been severed.
The Ye Family must send a Purple Mansion back to take charge.
Additionally, these clan members remaining in the Sea Domain would only burden Ye Xuecang and the others.
It’s not a time for stable development; otherwise, keeping them here could grow the influence on this side.
“Jingyu, there will be a Tier Five auction and various Golden Core trade fairs at Celestial Horse Pass this time. You should attend these events. Here are Spirit Medicines useful for Jingcheng!” Ye Xuecang took out a Jade Talisman and handed it to Ye Jingyu.
These Spirit Medicines are ingredients for Advanced Spirit Pills.
Even if others try to investigate, they won’t find anything significant.
As for the Gold Condensing Pill and even the Nascent Soul Spirit Medicine, the Ye Family cannot compete with others, so there’s no need to consider it.
Especially the latter, it is likely to be used by the Penglai Immortal Sect to appease the Qi and Lu families’ Spiritual Objects.
Others need not attempt to bid; even shouting a price might bring resentment from the Four Sects.
“Yes, Second Uncle!” Ye Jingyu nodded.
Then Ye Xuecang took out another Jade Talisman.
“This information is provided by Jade Xuanyin of the Yu Family, but this time the Yu Family may not be able to take the Jade Cloud Islands. The Cyan Cloud Sea Domain will undergo a major reshuffle, and we can no longer rely on previous information; these are additional messages searched by the clan about four Foundation Establishment Clans. Do not rely solely on one clan, withdraw separately so that the target is smaller!” Ye Xuecang continued.
As Ye Xuecang spoke, others also handed some magical treasures and Spirit Puppets to Ye Jingyu.
As for the Ginseng Root, Ye Xuefu hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not give it to Ye Jingyu.
The Bai Family and Qing Family will undoubtedly continue to search, giving it to Ye Jingyu would only increase risk.
This time, Ye Jingyu’s withdrawal should aim to minimize the target.
Once the target in the East Sea becomes smaller, the Grotto Heaven can be brought over, at which point the Ye Family can easily return to Yan Kingdom.
“Right, have An Yuhuai and any remaining unreliable ones also stay!” Ye Xuecang thought for a moment and added.
After confirming who would be leading each group, Ye Xuecang left with a few clan members.
The reason for being in this Mini World was to wait for the Yu Family’s caravan.
This would increase the possibility of the Ye Family’s return.
Now, with the need to disperse, not everyone can stay here.
…
Celestial Horse Pass, Celestial Horse Hall.
At this moment, the vast hall contained only three people.
Even True Monarch Tai Peng was performing the disciple ceremony.
The person before them was one of the Divine Monarchs of Divinity Transformation from the Penglai Immortal Sect, Divine Monarch Tian De.
“Master, it seems the Qingqiu Fox Race’s member has grown stronger. Even using a Spirit Treasure, I was discovered!”
“The Fox Saint is indeed the most intimidating. Next time the Earth Immortal Realm opens, arrange for someone to target the Qingqiu Fox Race. They cannot be allowed to become dominant.” Divine Monarch Tian De spoke.
“As for the Eight Desolates Sect’s Spirit Treasure matter, don’t investigate it for now. Prepare for this auction; the more formidable, the better. If other Demon Races don’t act, we shouldn’t either. If we can get the Flood Dragon Race to voluntarily offer treasures, that would be best!”
“Is Uncle Nine Infants still there?” True Monarch Tai Peng asked.
“Hm, the situation there is quite complicated. It’s best for you to secure a Dragon Soul Flower this time. That way, even if you seize a Dao Foundation, there won’t be excessive risk of succumbing to demonic influence!”
“Thank you, Master!” True Monarch Tai Peng was instantly delighted.
Having been stuck at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul for many years without progress, although they secretly supported many Immortal Foundations among various sects in the Eastern Domain, without suitable demonic-resistant materials, he dared not seize an Immortal Foundation.
“Rest assured, Master, next time on the Earth Immortal Realm journey, I promise to bring back plenty of Transformation Spirit Medicine for you.”
“Okay, okay, it’s enough that you have the will. There’s nothing else, so you can leave now. I might still need to meet with the Flood Dragon Saint!”
“But remember, ensure the auction is a success, and distribute more Immortal Foundations.”
