Ambitions for the Violet Palace, Profound Cloud Giant Rhino
Inside the spirit-separating array, Ye Jingcheng looked at Wan Hongchang, and Wan Hongchang also looked at Ye Jingcheng.
At this moment, there is no difference between the Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment.
Only two monks from two different Lineage, each focused on their own Lineage, are trying to foresee the future of their respective Lineage.
Clearly, Ye Jingcheng was more composed, perhaps because of the situation, or perhaps because he had no other choice.
Wan Hongchang spoke again:
"Our Wan Family knows the location of the Teleportation Array and the strength of the Zhang Family's cultivators, but the premise is that once the Ye Family does it, they must include the Wan Family and preserve some of the Wan Family's seeds. Of course, these seeds of the Wan Family will also become affiliated Lineage of the Ye Family!" Wan Hongchang said, especially the last sentence, which was quite heavy.
For a Lineage to constantly change vassals is to be despised.
Especially the Wan Family, and this vassal state is no ordinary one; it's the Ye Family protecting the Wan Family.
Therefore, the Wan Family's inheritance will definitely be passed on to the Ye Family, and the Wan Family will inevitably take the initiative in the development of the Desert Sea.
"Whether you admit it or not, in the eyes of the Wan Family, the Ye Family's Spirit Beast are extraordinary. If you weren't from the Beast Wasteland, the Wan Family would accept it!"
"This inheritance will be given to you, and you will only be able to protect ten members of the Wan Family. The Wan Family's original backup plan was the Zhao Kingdom, but the Medicine King Valley and Taiyi Sect of the Zhao Kingdom have already formed a marriage alliance. Our Wan Family has no way out!" Wan Hongchang added again when he saw that Ye Jingcheng was about to speak.
After saying that, his eyes were filled with disappointment.
He has already lost this negotiation; he hasn't gotten any leverage from Ye Jingcheng.
Throughout the entire process, Ye Jingcheng was never given a definite answer.
Before coming to Taichang Commandery, he had confidently told the Wan Family patriarch that he would at least see the Ye Family's financial situation clearly, or at least get the Ye Family to make another promise to the Wan Family.
But now, he sees no hope in Ye Jingcheng's eyes.
Even after he had completely extricated himself, Ye Jingcheng remained calm, as if watching an insignificant play.
He had no idea just how cunning this young cultivator was.
All he knew was that he had no other choice.
After a brief pause, Wan Hongchang took out another jade talisman.
Inside this jade talisman is an address.
"If you've thought it through, then come here!" Wan Hongchang said, picking up a Purple Spirit Pill from the shop.
Another spirit medicine herb, the heartwood, was placed down.
Although it's not the main ingredient in a Tier 3 wood formula, it's still an extremely important auxiliary ingredient.
Ye Jingcheng put away the jade talisman, activated the spirit-isolation array, and the other party left immediately.
His eyes were filled with the will to die, and Ye Jingcheng guessed that the other party would be like Ye Xingyi, bravely facing death in the market.
He could no longer leave the market town.
Rather than let people know that he secretly came to the market, it's better for everything to die quietly.
It was as if he had never been there.
This way, the Ye Family won't be exposed.
At the same time, it preserved a glimmer of hope for the Wan Family. If Ye Jingcheng was not mistaken, this address not only contained news, but also the ten members of the Wan Family who had left beforehand.
Moreover, these ten people were likely already in Taichang Commandery when the Green River Sect underwent its great upheaval.
Therefore, within the Wan Family, there must not be many people who know about this transaction.
Of course, Ye Jingcheng also left some Divine Sense on Wan Hongchang.
This wasn't due to distrust, but rather because Ye Jingcheng was backed by the Ye Family, and he had to consider the entire Ye Family. If Wan Hongchang were exposed, Ye Jingcheng had to prepare in advance.
Moreover, for the Ye Family, Wan Hongchang's death was the best outcome.
He knows too much.
The location was also too dangerous.
Ye Jingcheng quietly set up his stall in the market, his Divine Sense still sensing the surroundings.
Inside a restaurant, Wan Hongchang set up the Array, changed into a clean robe, adjusted his attire, and finally took out a jade bottle.
This jade bottle was taken from Ye Jingcheng.
He looked at the third-tier spirit pill.
A glimmer of light emerged from that lingering will to die.
A slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, but it quickly faded away.
Once upon a time, he was the hope and pride of the Wan Family.
He had hoped that one day he could break through to the Purple Mansion, but now that opportunity was naturally gone.
Everything about the Wan Family flashed through his mind, and then he resolutely put the third-tier spirit pill into his mouth.
He had never been selfish before, but now he wanted to be selfish just this once.
Feeling the immense True Essence of the third-tier elixir surging wildly within his body, breaking through his meridians, he felt a strange sense of schadenfreude despite the immense pain.
"Is this the power of the Purple Mansion?" Wan Hongchang murmured, the smile on his lips mixed with blood, contrasting sharply with the pain in his brows, making him appear so sinister.
He then took out a black poison pill.
After swallowing it, his whole body began to soften and soon turned into poisonous liquid that flowed throughout the room.
Only an empty Storage Bag remained.
It quietly recounts the life of a monk...
Inside the market stalls, Wan Hongchang seemed utterly lifeless, clearly having committed suicide in a restaurant.
Ye Jingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He started packing up his stall and left.
Although the two people he saw were not the ones he had previously guessed, he still planned to go back and sort out his thoughts.
While the news from the Wan Family is startling, it may not be true, since Tianfu True Person knows the Zhang Family's secrets.
Then other members of the Taiyi Sect might also know.
Once the Taiyi Sect is involved, the Ye Family is doomed. Even if the Earth Dragon Demon King intervenes, the outcome will not change.
Moreover, having heard Xu Wuyou of Purple Peak preach, it is possible that the Purple Mansion of the Taiyi Sect also possesses divination abilities.
This makes it even more necessary to guard against.
Of course, the Zhang Family's Purple Mansion might also be lying on purpose, displaying the minerals of the Western Sands Cultivation World, perhaps to sow discord between him and Zhang.
After all, the Zhang Family might have guessed that Tianfu True Person knew everything.
But the Ye Family cannot gamble.
The Ye Family is different from the Wan Family; they are not yet at their wits' end.
There's no need to take such a risk.
Even the Ye Family could take in ten members of the Wan Family first.
As for whether or not to attack the Zhang Family's Teleportation Array, that requires careful consideration.
Ye Jingcheng returned to the Ye Family Restaurant, took out the Purple Jade Cold Bed and some spiritual tea, and began to drink and ponder.
Even as dawn broke, there was still no definite answer.
Ye Jingcheng took out the Lineage Token and sent it to Ye Xuecang and Ye Haicheng, informing them of their current situation.
If you can't figure it out yourself, then have more people think about it.
In the distance, a purple-gold rosy dawn appeared on the horizon.
All the cultivators in Taichang Market once again headed towards the mountain gate of the Taichang Mountain Range.
This time, there was no need to climb the mountain; a huge plaza had already been set up right in front of the Devotion Path Ladder.
This square could easily hold 100,000 people.
All the cultivators, including those from the Taiyi Sect cultivators.
Finally, with all the Foundation Establishment Purple Mansion cultivators entering, there were more than 50,000 cultivators in total.
This number is enormous in the entire Yan Kingdom, especially considering the large number of the Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment within it.
Of course, even this number is still due to the many limitations of the Taiyi Sect, and the fact that the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment in many places simply cannot keep up with the demand; otherwise, there would be even more cultivators.
The Nascent Soul Ancestor's sermon was a momentous event that could drive several cultivation kingdoms into a frenzy.
Ye Jingcheng and his Ye Family arrived at the square early, and because of Ye Jingcheng's strength and status, they were barely among the front of the line.
However, there were no chairs, so they could only sit cross-legged.
Only Golden Core cultivators had seats available.
This time, almost all members of the Ye Family, except for Ye Jinghu, came.
Every member of the tribe was extremely excited.
After all, in the Eastern Region where even Spirit Transformation cultivators rarely appear, Nascent Soul True Lord lives for two thousand years is practically the strongest cultivator one can encounter.
With several loud dragon roars, True Lord Ziming rode the dragon and landed on the ten-zhang-high platform.
"Thank you all for coming as invited. The Dao Path is not easy, so cherish every step. Today, I, the sect leader, am following the Heavenly Dao to share some of my insights with you all, and I hope that more cultivators like us will emerge!"
Today, Sikong Ziming was dressed in a purple robe, resembling a celestial master from Purple Peak, much like the former Purple Extreme Patriarch.
His words at this moment were as gentle as a spring breeze.
It was nowhere near as dire as it had been when it was squeezed out by the Green River Sect.
Clearly, there were some schemes and plans among the Nascent Soul True Lord yesterday that were unknown to ordinary people.
After he finished speaking, True Lord Ziming took out a sky-purple futon and sat cross-legged on it.
Then, starting with Qi cultivation, he slowly began to expound the Dao.
As the leader of a major sect, Sikong Ziming's knowledge was naturally unparalleled. Coupled with the insight and cultivation of Nascent Soul Cultivator, his explanations were detailed yet grand and systematic.
The explanation of Qi cultivation alone was so wonderful that even Ye Jingcheng felt the trip was worthwhile.
Of course, he was also aware that if he explained Qi cultivation in detail, it would mean that he might explain the Purple Mansion Core in a less detailed way, since the time allotted for explanation was limited.
But as a free opportunity to gain insights, Ye Jingcheng wouldn't let it pass by.
"Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother, as Foundation Establishment cultivators, listen carefully. When we return to the Lineage, we will share this with Lineage cultivators!" Ye Jingcheng said again.
Although there will inevitably be omissions in recounting the True Lord's teachings.
Moreover, it would lack that charm.
But for Ye Jingcheng, it would still benefit the rest of the Lineage to some extent.
Moreover, he also kept records of it himself using jade talismans.
Taiyi Sect didn't make them swear an oath, he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass him by.
This is not a Golden Core cultivator preaching the Dao, but a Nascent Soul cultivator preaching the Nascent Soul.
Even for the Yan Kingdom, this was the only time in over a hundred years.
Therefore, Ye Jingcheng listened very attentively.
Time passed quickly.
The first half of the day was dedicated to Qi cultivation, and the second half to Foundation Establishment. The second day began with the study of the Purple Mansion.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng also forced himself to study the teachings of True Lord Ziming as if he were studying a magic pill.
Three Jade Slip slips appeared in front of him. He recorded his observations in one Jade Slip, deduced the results in another, and finally summarized the deductions in a third Jade Slip.
Even now, he couldn't care less about the other members of the Ye Family.
After all, the other cultivators in the Ye Family were only at the Qi Refining Foundation Establishment, and they had to leave the next day. It sounded Taixuan and divine, and their soul power was also somewhat insufficient.
It's better to leave now.
Ye Jingcheng didn't care about any of that at the moment.
He didn't feel particularly outstanding, because at most he had one or two more Jade Slip than the others.
The other cultivators at the Purple Mansion, like Ye Jingcheng, were completely absorbed in their own world, and none of them would spare any time to observe others.
Needless to say, those Golden Core cultivators are even more eager for the Great Dao. At this moment, the only ones who have time to observe are probably the Nascent Soul Cultivator and top sect disciples.
After another half day, Sikong Ziming finished explaining the Purple Mansion and began to explain the Golden Elixir.
At this point, Ye Jingcheng was also completely confused.
After all, he had never reached that level.
But he still tried his best to memorize it using the Jade Slip.
Even if the memory isn't entirely accurate at the moment, at least it provides a direction for future deduction.
He could even study it with Ye Xuecang.
At this moment, there were quite a few Purple Mansion cultivators who were just as reckless as him.
At this moment, no one would look down on anyone else.
Everyone offers their treasures, all for this moment to hear the Word.
Finally, as dusk fell, Sikong Ziming rose, and his sermon came to an end.
Everyone dispersed.
Sikong Ziming was also visibly exhausted and went straight back to Purple Peak.
Only Xu Wuyou and Zitian True Person shouted out the specific time of the auction.
The auction will be held in three days!
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators paused once again.
Ye Jingcheng also discovered that the Azure Spirit Commerce Association of Commerce token in his Storage Bag had begun to glow, and several words appeared on it, indicating that the Azure Spirit Commerce Association's night market would begin at dusk the following day.
The auction is said to be of the Fifth Stage standard, and Azure Spirit Market is expected to be no less impressive this time, with the possibility of even Golden Core or Nascent Soul appearing among them.
After all, even Nascent Soul Cultivator need to dispose of stolen goods, so the reputation of such night markets is extremely strong.
However, Ye Jingcheng also had to be wary of the mysterious cultivator from the Azure Spirit Commerce Association; he had to be careful not to be recognized.
Ye Jingcheng led his clansmen toward their own market town.
Ye Jingyun also looked at Ye Jingcheng:
"Patriarch, the business deal with the Jia Family is finalized, and the Jia Family even gave me an Azure Spirit Token!" Ye Jingyun put the details of the transaction into a Jade Slip for Ye Jingcheng to review.
They also gave me a Spirit Beast pouch.
"This is a gift from the Jia Family to our Ye Family —a pair of well-trained Mystic Cloud Giant Rhinoceros!" Ye Jingyun said again.
Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised to see this. This Mystic Cloud Giant Rhinoceros was not cheap. Although it was only a second-tier Spirit Beast, when it grew up, it was as large as a Yunshan and could carry heavy objects.
Extremely suitable for mountain driving and transportation.
In the Cultivation World, valuable treasures are usually stored in Storage Bag and Spirit Beast bags.
However, Storage Bag and Spirit Beast bags also have space limitations, so when transporting large amounts of Spirit Beast meat, spirit rice, or spirit soil, it is more suitable to use a giant rhinoceros to carry them.
This way, they can save more Spirit Stone, something the Ye Family hadn't paid attention to before.
But the Chamber of Commerce probably felt that profits were more important, so they specially gifted the Mystic Cloud Giant Rhinoceros.
"Can we return the treasure?" Ye Jingcheng asked.
He had a good impression of Jia Tiange, and the Jia Family was indeed a good trading partner for the Ye Family.
"They gave me a second-tier superior-grade Cloud-Horn Deer, and also a second-tier top-grade Cloud-Horn Deer Treasure!"
