Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book - Chapter 1104 - 778: Jin Kong’s Scheme, The Auction Begins (Triple Combo)

“This was suggested by Yun Hao. Jingcheng, you might not know, Yun Hao is just a mid-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator, but his business acumen has even earned praise from Brother Jiu!” Ye Jingli couldn’t help but introduce.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng became interested in Yun Hao of the Yun Generation.

Currently, the Ye family doesn’t lack geniuses among its members, but those who excel in business and management are somewhat scarce.

Just like cultivation for cultivators, business and management require talent, in Ye Jingcheng’s view.

Previously, there was Ye Xinghe, Jing Generation’s Ye Jingfu, and while no promising figures have appeared from the Qing Generation, Yun Generation has produced an exceptionally talented individual.

Moreover, Yun Generation is young, and if their talent permits, the Ye family could even nurture them to the Purple Mansion stage.

The Ye family now has the financial capacity for this.

After watching for a while, Ye Jingcheng headed towards the Ye Family Tavern.

Currently, the Market Master of Taihang Market is an outer disciple at Illusion Peak Foundation Establishment, not as esteemed as Jiang Jinghe during his Foundation Establishment days, so Ye Jingcheng naturally didn’t need to pay a special visit.

After all, he is now a Golden Core cultivator, and even in the wider world, he is regarded at least as middle-stage Purple Mansion.

The Ye family’s tavern, Pill Pavilion, Artifact Pavilion, and Spirit Beast Workshop are all situated on the northern side of the market, adjacent to the auction house and the sect’s Treasure Tower.

Naturally, it is also the busiest street in terms of business.

As soon as they arrived, they saw the characters for Ye Family Tavern, not much less prominent than the auction house.

Currently in front of the tavern, there was Spring Tea and performances involving the Mountain-devouring Rat and Jade Ring Rat.

The Jade Ring Rat looked quite similar to Ye Jingcheng’s pet Jade Ring Rat when it was young.

Both had large ears and slightly round bodies, though their pupils were not as bright as those of Ye Jingcheng’s Jade Ring Rat.

Next to the Jade Ring Rat were two family members of the Ye family.

The two appeared to be just over twenty, responsible for serving Spring Tea to cultivators entering the premise.

Business at the Ye Family Tavern was excellent; looking through the door, there was a continuous stream of cultivators coming and going.

Of course, some cultivators came out after sipping the Spirit Tea without buying anything.

“These Spring Tea cups have more diluted tea and water, so both the tea aroma and spiritual energy are weaker. Entering cultivators can drink a cup without spending Spirit Stone. According to Brother Jiu and Yun Hao, this increases the shop’s popularity!” Ye Jingli explained also via transmission from the side.

Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly, and the two walked into the tavern. Before leaving, Ye Jingcheng bowed and took out a regular Spirit Feeding Pill to feed the Jade Ring Rat once.

The Jade Ring Rat was not as intelligent as imagined, it squeaked twice and showed a hint of timidity.

Ye Jingcheng did not linger and strode into the tavern. To him, he sometimes wondered whether asking the Jade Ring Rat to persist in Breathing Technique and cultivation was meaningful.

But at this moment, the meaning is unquestionable.

Unwilling to remain ordinary, one must fight with the heavens, and with people, naturally enduring hardships.

Otherwise, how can one truly be free in this world of cultivation, and how can one be content?

If he truly let the Jade Ring Rat free, it would eventually end up like the Jade Ring Rats here, doing ordinary things and dying unsatisfied.

In fact, isn’t it the same for cultivators? Qi Cultivation enjoys a lifespan of 120 years, Foundation Establishment 250 years, and Golden Core is merely a thousand years.

Only in legend, ascending to the Spirit Realm can one’s lifespan match that of heaven.

But there are few divinity transformations even in the Eastern Domain, and if one doesn’t strive due to lack of talent, then even if life is fulfilling for a hundred years, how can one be content?

In the end, they would regret a lifetime, and face death with lifelong regrets.

Ye Jingcheng inevitably felt some remorse, perhaps he should allocate more resources to the Jade Ring Rat.

After all, the Jade Ring Rat’s heart towards the Dao may not necessarily be inferior to his.

He should also give the Jade Ring Rat more opportunities, as ordinary resources are indeed abundant for him now!

While Ye Jingcheng was pondering, the two reached the third floor.

The Ye Family Tavern still only has three floors, which is the Taiyi Sect’s rule, and the Ye family naturally could not surpass it.

Within the room on the third floor, Ye Jingyun, Ye Jinghu, and Ye Jingyu were already waiting here, with Ye Jingyu wearing a Spirit-Blocking Robe.

Besides the three, Ye Jingyong was also present.

“Second brother, fourth brother, sixth brother, brother Jiu!” Ye Jingcheng called out as he entered.

Especially Ye Jingyong, whom he gave a strong hug.

Second brother Ye Jingyong remained robust, with his cultivation reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment, and a step further would be breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

“Jingcheng, with you and fourth brother here, I’m at ease!” Ye Jingyong said with a laugh.

He had completely shed his youthful and naive demeanor. Years of managing the market had left him with a trace of Ye Xinghe’s shadow.

“Sixth brother, Brother Jiu, have the cultivators from Illusion Peak and Purple Peak been invited?” Ye Jingcheng also asked.

“The promised Purple Mansion cultivators include Liu Huan, elder brother and Chen Yunzi from Purple Peak, quite a few Foundation Establishments have come too, all disciples of elder brother, besides, there’s Qingshuang!” Ye Jingyun nodded.

“Jingcheng, however, Master Tianzhen and Master Ziyue suddenly had matters, and True Master San Yuan from Sword Peak, Master Miaofa from Purple Peak, and Master Mingxuan from Dharma Peak are all on tasks!” Ye Jingyun looked worried.

The Ye family’s auction of Celestial Spirit Qi this time is not much less valuable than Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

It is extremely attractive to those loose cultivators of Foundation Establishment, or clans of Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment.
