Jia Tiange, the Mysterious Cultivator

Under the Red Sun, the sky was filled with rosy clouds.

Several dragon shadows rose into the sky, soaring over the mountains, and then, with a radiant glow, they stretched down in a continuous line.

All the cultivators took their seats.

In front of the main hall of the Taiyi Sect, White Medicine True Lord sat in the high hall, along with the Spirit Diagram of Purple Extremity True Lord and Great Roc True Lord.

True Lord Ziming and Spirit Rainbow Fairy walked into the courtyard together.

"The auspicious time has arrived, the ceremony is complete!" a loud shout rang out.

The two then began their wedding ceremony, exchanging vows and toasts.

To observe the rites in accordance with the time of day.

It was accompanied by a series of extraordinary phenomena, including the Four Symbols and Five Spirits, which rose into the sky together, creating a magnificent sight.

The ceremony concluded quickly, and True Lord Ziming flew into the sky.

His gaze swept across the entire Taichang Mountain Range, then he cupped his hands and spoke:

"I, the sect leader, would like to thank all of you for coming. Now that the ceremony is complete, let us begin the banquet. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality!" With this, countless female cultivators began to ascend the mountain with spiritual food and wine.

Many of these female cultivators were Foundation Establishment cultivators, each one incredibly beautiful, dressed in light gauze, like fairies descended from the heavens.

The jade plate in his hand held fine wine and delicacies.

Ye Jingcheng was sitting in the pavilion at this moment. Inside the pavilion was the famous Purple Mansion Lineage from the various countries of the Eastern Region.

The Jia Family of the Zhao Kingdom, the Chen Family of the Qi Kingdom, and the Min Family of the Lu Kingdom.

At this moment, the cultivators from the Purple Mansion entered the pavilion and exchanged pleasantries, while the family members and clansmen of the Lineage took their seats at the secondary table in front of the pavilion. Ye Jingcheng was also extremely polite at this moment.

After all, the Purple Mansion cultivators around him were all established Purple Mansion cultivators, while he had only just entered the Purple Mansion on the surface, so he naturally couldn't be too high-profile.

Given that the Ye Family is seeking development, it's natural to try to build good relations with them if possible, and even if they can't, they must maintain a harmonious atmosphere in this situation.

After all, Ye Jingcheng still represents the Taiyi Sect, and he is, after all, a disciple of Tianfu True Person, even though Tianfu True Person has passed away.

Among them, the one that Ye Jingcheng was most concerned about was the Jia Family of the Zhao Kingdom. Zhao Kingdom and Chu Kingdom bordered Yan Kingdom. Chu Kingdom was home to the Heavenly Corpse Sect, and its affiliated forces were almost all Evil Cultivator, so there was no opportunity for cooperation or friendship.

As for the Aristocratic Clan of the Qi Kingdom and Lu Kingdom, Ye Jingcheng actually wanted to negotiate with them, but unfortunately, the distance was too great, and the Chen Family and Min Family did not respond much to Ye Jingcheng's overtures.

At this moment, the spirit food finally arrived at the pavilion.

As one of the main dishes, the third-tier spirit fish dish, along with second-tier top-grade spirit wine and second-tier top-grade spirit tea, were laid out to the brim.

The spirit fish is a third-tier Golden Jade Fish raised in Jade Dragon Valley. Its spiritual flesh is extremely delicate and silky, and rich in Spiritual Qi. Ye Jingcheng took a bite and his mouth was filled with spiritual light. He even felt that his cultivation had made considerable progress.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh, explaining why sect cultivators could break through so quickly and why there were so many high-level cultivators.

People are raising level three spirit fish now.

Looking around Spirit Mountain, Ye Jingcheng discovered that there were quite a few third-tier spirit fish dishes.

Ye Jingcheng even suspected that Jade Dragon Valley was using the meat of Spirit Beast to raise spirit fish.

After all, Jade Dragon Valley only had strategic significance before, but last time, the plot to frame the Three-Eyed Demon Roc Clan turned Jade Dragon Valley into a blood lake.

Otherwise, Ye Jingcheng wouldn't know where so many third-tier spirit fish could come from.

The spiritual food on the side table was also second-tier spiritual food, and Ye Jinghu was eating it with gusto.

After all, he was already close to breaking through. If he could break through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage through the fortuitous opportunity by the Taiyi Sect, it would naturally be a cause for celebration.

"Brother Jia, I've long heard that Zhao Kingdom's market is the premier market in the Eastern Region. If I have the time, I must go and see it for myself!" Ye Jingcheng raised his cup to Jia Tiange.

This is also the head of the Jia Family, who is also at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

"I may not be number one, but it's true that Zhao Kingdom has many merchant guilds. If Fellow Daoist Ye wants to come, he can certainly. Moreover, under the organization of Medicine King Valley and many affiliated forces, Zhao Kingdom's markets hold a grand auction every three years, which is more frequent than Yan Kingdom's auctions, and naturally there are more treasures!" Jia Tiange nodded in agreement.

He responded with a smile to Ye Jingcheng's overtures.

As Lineage of merchants, he held the Ye Family in high regard.

Ye Jingcheng is young, still a spirit, and a disciple of the Taiyi Sect Tianfu True Person, though some of those titles are now just empty honors.

However, sometimes, a false reputation, if used well, can be a powerful tool.

At least for now, the Taiyi Sect's Illusion Peak is indeed treating the Ye Family extremely well.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Ye, our Jia Family has also opened a restaurant in recent years. I heard that the Ye Family is backed by the Taihang Mountain Range. If you have any extra Cloud-Horn Deer Spirit Food, we can trade some!" Jia Tiange said directly.

Unlike other spiritual foods, Cloud-Horn Deer food can be quite appealing to certain cultivators.

At Ye Family Restaurant, the Cloud-Horn Deer also sells extremely well.

"Of course!" Ye Jingcheng nodded directly, and the two left a way to communicate telepathically.

The details of the transaction will naturally need to be discussed later, and there's no need for Ye Jingcheng and Jia Tiange to handle that; the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lineage will take care of it themselves.

Meanwhile, high in the sky, another competition took place.

These competitions were between disciples of the Taiyi Sect and other Nascent Soul sects.

It includes everything from Qi Refining to the Purple Mansion, serving as a festive addition to the wedding.

However, such a competition was naturally irrelevant to Ye Jingcheng and other Lineage cultivators.

Even those affiliated forces of the Golden Core stage could only watch from the sidelines.

Even the grand competition for Qi Refining cultivators broadened Ye Jingcheng's horizons.

The competition among the Purple Mansion cultivators was even more unexpected, with Fairy Liu Huan among them participating.

As a third-tier Array cultivator, the coordination of Array with a mere wave of his hand can cause his opponents considerable trouble.

By the time the competition was over, it was already dusk; the setting sun cast its golden rays.

At this time, the group retreated from the Taichang Mountain Range and returned to Taichang Market. The sermon began the following day.

Upon returning to the market, Ye Jinghu immediately went into seclusion.

On Purple Peak, it was clear that the other members of the Ye Family intended to give some spiritual food to Ye Jinghu.

At that moment, Ye Jinghu also swallowed two pills.

He couldn't even spare a thought for the sermon he was scheduled to give the next day.

Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage is the most important thing right now.

"Master, a cultivator wearing Spirit-Isolating Robe has approached our guide, saying he wants to invite us to the market area for a transaction."

Ye Jingyun was in charge of coordinating with the Rogue Cultivator and guides within the market area.

At this moment, he also spoke to Ye Jingcheng.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was also taken aback, and he remembered the mysterious cultivator surnamed Jun.

The other party made an appointment with him to capture the Mountain Spirit, and even sent him a message during the auction.

Of course, it's also possible that the cultivator from the Azure Spirit Commerce Association came knocking on our door.

After all, the Purple Spirit Pill and Purple Soul Pill originated from him.

Moreover, it also managed to shake off the other party in the street vendor area.

Ye Jingcheng pondered for a moment, then decided to take a look.

Ye Jingcheng put on the Spirit-Isolating Robe and a veil, but did not completely cover his face.

He then found a secluded alley, went to the West City Square, rented a spot at random, and started selling elixirs.

The material used was changed; it became the Essence Blood of a third-tier Roc Fish.

All Ye Jingcheng can do right now is to help Roc Fish break through to the third tier.

Perhaps he can even break through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion by taking advantage of the water element.

After all, he is now cultivating the Five Spirit True Canon, which does not have the concept of five-element balance. In addition, his Divine Soul has long since broken through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion, and his State of Mind is also sufficient.

"Senior, I have some ideas about your pills. How about we discuss it inside the Spirit Separation Array?" At this moment, a cultivator in Spirit-Isolating Robe approached.

Ye Jingcheng immediately set up a spirit-isolation array.

However, Ye Jingcheng's expression was not good at the moment.

Because the cultivator before them was not Purple Mansion cultivator, but Foundation Establishment cultivator.

And it was none other than Wan Hongchang from the Wan Family.

He didn't know when Wan Hongchang arrived, nor why Wan Hongchang wanted to see him, but he knew that Wan Hongchang's visit was not a good thing.

Seeing that the Array was set up, Wan Hongchang removed the protective veil, revealing his face.

After Ye Jingcheng finished reading, he covered his eyes again, leaving only his eyes showing.

However, his shrewd eyes clearly showed some delight, because Ye Jingcheng's gaze was too calm.

If Ye Jingcheng is flustered, then it proves that his plan has failed.

"Fellow Daoist Wan, you didn't come here today to buy pills, did you?" Ye Jingcheng asked, his tone somewhat cold.

Although Wan Hongchang was an old acquaintance who had even given him Stone Spirit, Ye Jingcheng had long since repaid that favor.

Moreover, it's a business deal, so Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't give up anything at this moment.

At this moment, the Wan Family is not a coveted prize, but rather a red-hot lump of iron that might burn your skin and tear your flesh.

"It's definitely not about buying pills, but about a business deal we want to discuss!" Wan Hongchang didn't deny it. Seeing Ye Jingcheng's growing impatience, Wan Hongchang continued:

"Our Wan Family is indeed of the Sword Wasteland lineage. May I ask if the Ye Family is of the Beast Desolation Lineage?"

Wan Hongchang was using Secret Method to transmit his voice, which resonated deeply and even shook Ye Jingcheng's mind.

However, that only lasted a moment; Ye Jingcheng calmed down extremely quickly.

He shook his head.

"Of course not. If our Ye Family were from the Beast Desolation Lineage, would we have survived to this day?" Ye Jingcheng sneered.

And they even wanted to sit down right in front of the stall.

It was clear that Ye Jingcheng was about to see his guests off.

He was very displeased with what Wan Hongchang said today.

"Senior Ye, I know this is a bit presumptuous, but may I ask if the Ye Family has any other special assets?"

"Or rather, it's a method used to suppress the clan!" Wan Hongchang said repeatedly.

He also took out a jade talisman at that moment.

Before Ye Jingcheng could refuse, he spoke again via telepathy:

"The Zhang Family is in Artifact Wasteland, and they control the Teleportation Array in the Boundless Sand Sea. That place would be an excellent place for development, for my Wan Family, and for your Ye Family as well!"

Upon hearing Wan Hongchang's words, Ye Jingcheng finally hesitated.

He looked into Wan Hongchang's eyes; clearly, he knew something about the Zhang Family.

They also know the Boundless Sand Sea.

They even knew where the Teleportation Array was.

"Don't try to search souls. Since my Wan Family is a branch of the Sword Wasteland, we naturally have the Soul Sword Array. If soul searching were possible, the Green River Sect and Taiyi Sect would have done it long ago, instead of slowly forcing the Wan Family to hand over the Sword Manual and the Sword Dao inheritance. In fact, the Wan Family's inheritance is not even as much as the Sword Peak's. What an irony!" Wan Hongchang said angrily.

"The Zhang Family should have stood with our Wan Family and the Beast Wasteland, but now they've managed to hold their ground and evade the Taiyi Sect's pursuit!"

"Moreover, that Teleportation Array is not located within Taichang Commandery!" Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng finally showed some emotion.

He did indeed have the intention to possess souls just now; he possesses the Soul-Snaring Banner and the means to do so.

But as Wan Hongchang said, he couldn't gamble that the Wan Family didn't have it.

The Ye Family actually needs to know two things: first, whether the Zhang Family has cooperated with the Taiyi Sect.

Secondly, where is the Zhang Family's Teleportation Array?

If these two points are clear, the Ye Family can make their plans.

Ye Jingcheng finally began to read the Jade Slip.

The Jade Slip is not a fleeting image of a soul, but rather a scene from hundreds of years ago.

The scene shows that the Sword Wasteland lineage of the Eight Desolations Sect has discovered the Boundless Sand Sea. Although the exact location is unknown, there is Ancient Teleportation Array leading to it.

However, Sword Wasteland was not skilled in weapon crafting, and all the swords were crafted by Artifact Wasteland, so this Teleportation Array was also given to Artifact Wasteland.

However, the Artifact Wasteland requires a large number of spirit swords to the Sword Wasteland.

There was no follow-up, which was what angered the Wan Family the most.

They had contacted the Zhang Family, but the Zhang Family ignored them.
