Lecturing on Dao and Observing Qi
As the wedding day approached, the crimson clouds in the sky transformed into the Chinese character for "double happiness."
Countless mandarin ducks, transformed from the Chi Xiao, soared through the sky.
Ye Jingcheng pushed open the courtyard door, and the entire Taichang Market was filled with bright red celebratory lanterns.
Even the clothes worn by the cultivators were almost all festive attire, with very few wearing white robes, and only a handful wearing Black Spirit-Isolating Robes.
Most cultivators, even those wearing Spirit-Isolating Robes, would also drape a crimson silk over their robes.
Some of the taller buildings were also covered with red "double happiness" characters.
Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh at this moment. He originally thought that his joyous occasion was already quite grand.
It now seems that he is still a long way off.
Keep in mind that this is still just a market town; the truly luxurious places should be in the Taichang Mountain Range, on the Peak Master, in Purple Peak.
Ye Jingcheng could already imagine how festive the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate must be.
Moreover, the Taiyi Sect's Devotion Path Ladder and auspicious dragon and phoenix gifts will definitely leave a deep impression on all cultivators.
This is the true style of a major sect.
The Ye Family is far from achieving that goal.
Ye Jingcheng walked out of the shop and joined the surging crowd on the street.
As the wedding date approached, the number of cultivators increased, and the Ye Family's shops and restaurants were almost overflowing with people.
Ye Jingcheng's purpose this time was to enter the northern urban area.
Besides the grand auction, there are also many pavilions and courtyards there.
These courtyards belong to the True Person of the Taiyi Sect, although True Person generally do not live here.
However, a private residence is indispensable.
The courtyard we visited this time was Taiyi Purple Peak, the residence of Zitian True Person, also known as Zitian Estate.
As the second elder of Purple Peak, Zitian True Person held a high position and great power. His residence was one of the top in Taichang Market, second only to Ancestor Ziming.
And only cultivators at the Purple Mansion level or higher can participate in this trading event!
Before Ye Jingcheng arrived at Zitian Estate, he only felt that the palace buildings were magnificent and grand, and there were cultivators guarding the entrance, but both of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators.
It's quite unbelievable that Purple Mansion didn't appear to guard the gate, since Purple Mansion is considered an outer sect elder in the Taiyi Sect.
Moreover, no tokens were checked upon entry; it seemed that simply demonstrating Purple Mansion cultivation level was sufficient.
This time, Ye Jingcheng wore a Spirit-Isolating Robe and a spirit-blocking veil, concealing his appearance and aura, even changing his appearance.
After all, if it were a barter system, he would have to conceal his identity to take out many of his Law Treasures and Demon Beast Cores.
When Ye Jingcheng arrived, he also activated the Beast-Link Mark and infused it with the Wood Attribute spiritual power of the Five-Colored Cloud Deer.
That way, even if someone tracks him down, or Taiyi Sect checks his identity, they will never be able to find him.
Since it was held at the Purple Heaven Palace, it's highly likely that the organizer was the Purple Mansion of the Taiyi Sect.
However, the cultivators who participated came from various countries in the Eastern Region, and it was quite normal for some to be reclusive cultivators with their Purple Mansions.
"What is your Daoist title, senior?" the two Foundation Establishment cultivators asked.
"My Daoist name is Seven Wounds," Ye Jingcheng casually uttered a title.
The two men quickly gestured for them to proceed.
Led by one of them, Ye Jingcheng walked towards the inner hall, but not the main hall, but a side hall. They passed through two courtyards before arriving at the side hall.
What filled Ye Jingcheng with envy was that the Spiritual Qi energy here had reached the highest level of the third rank, and there was a third-rank Evergreen Tree in both courtyards.
This third-tier evergreen wood is not only an excellent material for high-grade Wood Attribute magic swords, but it can also gather Spiritual Qi, and many high-level Spirit Herb Gardens cultivate it.
However, this was the first time Ye Jingcheng had ever seen such a plant grown in an uninhabited mansion.
Upon entering the hall, Ye Jingcheng found a large number of cultivators seated inside. At a glance, there were more than a hundred people, and the seats were not even full. If all the seats were filled, Ye Jingcheng estimated that there would be more than two hundred people.
All of this was because of the grand wedding of the Taiyi Sect's Patriarch Ziming.
Ye Jingcheng casually found a spot towards the back, and he noticed that there were quite a few cultivators wearing Spirit-Isolating Robes, so he didn't dare to release too much of his Divine Sense.
I only dared to take a quick glance.
The one at the top was none other Xu Wuyou, the eldest disciple of Zitian True Person. He was also a peak Purple Mansion Master Tianzhen. Even Master Xu Wuyou had to call him Senior Brother.
His Daoist name is also his given name: Wuyou (无忧).
Ye Jingcheng continued looking and found that Taihao Master and Liu Huan Xianzi were there. It seemed that there were quite a few Taiyi Sect masters among them.
"Wait a moment, everyone can have some spiritual tea first!" Xu Wuyou clapped his hands, and several cultivators came out and served spiritual tea to each Purple Mansion cultivator.
And the Spirit Tea is precisely the second-tier, top-grade Purple Poria Tea.
After waiting for another half hour, almost all the cultivators had arrived. Ye Jingcheng glanced over and saw exactly two hundred and three Purple Mansions.
"Alright, time's up. We won't wait for those who haven't arrived yet. I, Wuyou, am also the initiator of this Purple Mansion Trading Conference. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming, and also thank you for attending Ziming Uncle Ziming's wedding."
"This cup of spiritual tea is offered to everyone, and to all nations and sects!" Xu Wuyou drank it all in one gulp, and the other Purple Mansions also cupped their hands in response, and then drank tea together.
"The path to immortality is arduous, and few walk alongside us. We cultivators should uphold righteousness and walk hand in hand, so that we can go further on the Great Dao. Today's exchange is not only for each of us to obtain the treasures we need, but also for the exchange of cultivation techniques."
"Today, five slots are granted on a special basis. If anyone gives a sermon, they will receive five specially crafted Law Treasures from the Taiyi Sect's Dharma Peak!" Venerable Wuyou also announced.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was taken aback.
This was the first time he had ever heard of a preacher.
Moreover, the Taiyi Sect even offered Law Treasures as rewards, which explains why so many Purple Mansions came. Just listening to others' experiences is an extremely rewarding experience.
If Ye Jingcheng's guess is correct, if no one preaches, the Taiyi Five Peaks will each preach.
This is like a benefit that a host provides to all the monks who have traveled from afar.
Of course, Ye Jingcheng also felt that this was an attempt to win over some rogue cultivators from the Purple Mansion Rogue Cultivator.
Although there aren't many Rogue Cultivator the Purple Mansion in the Yan Kingdom, there are definitely quite a few among the other kingdoms.
"Since no one is volunteering, I'll take the lead and set an example!" Xu Wuyou said, being the first to speak since no one else was willing to.
He was talking about the art of observing qi, about the fortune, fortuitous opportunities, and misfortunes of each cultivator, all of which were based on evidence.
The story was told in a very mysterious and profound way, and Ye Jingcheng was both intrigued and somewhat fearful after listening to it.
If one could see both fortune and misfortune, that would be far too powerful.
This means that the Ye Family's secrets were also useless.
But Ye Jingcheng quickly dismissed the claim, thinking that Xu Wuyou must have exaggerated, or perhaps a special Law Treasure could conceal one's luck.
Such as the Beast-Link Tower of the Ye Family, or the Treasure Book within his body.
Otherwise, the Ye Family would have suffered a terrible fate long ago.
Even so, Ye Jingcheng became even more wary of the True Person and True Lord of Purple Peak.
After Xu Wuyou finished speaking, the entire hall was completely absorbed, and even many Rogue Cultivators were tempted.
After all, if they could obtain this Secret Method, they could explore secret realms everywhere in the future, thereby avoiding disaster and welcoming good fortune.
