Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1539 Taking on a Disciple (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Central Region, Central Imperial State, Zheng Huangshan.

As the location of the righteous sect's headquarters, the surrounding area within tens of thousands of miles is heavily fortified with arrays, and there are as many as five dragon-man flying boats patrolling day and night.

At that moment, a spirit boat was seen flying straight over the mountains of the Righteous Path Sect and finally landing in front of Zhenghuang Mountain.

Right next to it was a white dragon envoy flying boat belonging to the Yellow faction.

"Grandmaster Gao, who is this person? How can he fly so fast?" A disciple who had just entered the Patrol Hall couldn't help but ask.

After all, at this time of day, they would usually stop the flying boat and thoroughly investigate it, no matter who it was.

These are extraordinary times; True Monarch Yuntian is breaking through...

"That's Senior Brother Ye's flying boat. If you don't understand something in the future, you can ask your senior brothers and uncles." The old man, who was called Grandmaster Gao, immediately looked displeased.

Although Lord Qianchen of the Ye family is known for being easy to talk to, he is now a Nascent Soul Lord. If these words are heard, even if Lord Qianchen does not punish him, the higher-ups of the righteous sects will likely have to distance themselves from him.

"Now everyone, follow me off the spirit boat and we'll proceed on foot to Zhenghuang Mountain," the Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Gao said again, and everyone immediately disembarked from the spirit boat.

The opponent is a Nascent Soul cultivator; it would be too risky for them to use a spirit boat to pursue him.

But if you walk there and show your welcome, there is no problem.

……

At this moment, right in front of Mount Huangshan, True Lord Xingyuan, True Lord Xuhuai, and several other Nascent Soul cultivators from various factions have arrived.

Everyone waited in front of Mount Ling. This was Ye Jingcheng's first time in the Central Region since breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Welcome, Divine Lord Qianchen."

"My fellow disciples, you flatter me. Just continue to call me by my original name." Ye Jingcheng bowed repeatedly.

This time, Ye Jingcheng was accompanied by Ye Tengming, Ye Qingyan, and Ye Qingnian.

This Tier 6 trading event will naturally not only feature Tier 6 treasures, but also many other treasures that can be exchanged.

Ye Qingyan, as an alchemist whom Ye Jingcheng was focusing on training, was naturally brought along as well.

Ye Qingnian, on the other hand, wanted to use this sixth-tier trade fair to at least leave a good impression on other immortal sects, if not to build good relationships.

This way, if there are large transactions or affairs in the future, there won't be any need to investigate or cover up the wrongdoing.

Ye Tengming, on the other hand, came with Ye Qingnian.

“That won’t do. In the cultivation world, strength is the standard.” True Monarch Xingyuan shook his head. He could do that at other times, but not now.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators from righteous sects might think that Ye Jingcheng of the Ye family was able to break through to the Divine Transformation stage because he benefited greatly from the righteous sects.

However, the higher-ups, including Xingyuan Zhenjun, knew that Ye Jingcheng's breakthrough was entirely due to the Ye family and his own efforts.

He wanted all the Nascent Soul cultivators of the righteous sects to respect Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng knew what Xingyuan Zhenjun meant, so he added:
"This is in the true Huangshan Mountain. Today, I am merely my master's junior disciple!"

"Haha, the best thing I ever did was to take you as my disciple. Now, even Old Ghost Wang, Old Ghost Zhao, and Old Man Ziyang are asking me for the secret to judging disciples." With a hearty laugh, Zheng Yuan Shenjun descended from the mountain peak.

He still stroked his long beard with a smile on his face, still possessing that otherworldly air.

"Master!" Ye Jingcheng cupped his hands and performed a disciple's salute.

He held Zheng Yuan Shenjun in the highest esteem.

"Let's go up the mountain and talk. The Righteous Path Sect recently acquired a fifth-tier Evergreen Bearded Carp Demon King and brewed a large pot of Azure Dragon Wine!" Lord Zhengyuan invited Ye Jingcheng with a smile.

Even after Ye Jingcheng broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he still held me in such high esteem, which naturally made Zheng Yuan Divine Lord find me more and more pleasing to the eye.

However, Ye Jingcheng was, after all, a family cultivator, and could not fully commit himself to the righteous sect. In fact, to avoid suspicion, he focused the entire Ye family's attention on the Eastern Region.

He knew that the Ye family wanted to keep a low profile, and also to prevent the cultivators of the righteous sects from being alarmed.

After all, Ye Jingcheng is so young. If he develops in the righteous sect, the entire righteous sect will probably only have one family faction and one sect faction in the future.

Moreover, that sect or faction must be one of the original five factions of the righteous sect.

Upon entering the spirit hall, Zheng Yuan Shenjun took out a spirit pot.

This spirit pot is clearly not an ordinary spirit pot, but a spatial artifact.

It contained a lot of Qinglong wine.

Normally, Lord Zhengyuan would serve Ye Jingcheng spiritual tea, but today he was using this fifth-grade Azure Dragon Brew, obviously to give some to Ye Jingcheng. After all, in about forty years, the Ye family would be holding a Nascent Soul Ceremony.

Ye Jingcheng didn't stand on ceremony. He took a sip and immediately felt his true energy surging throughout his body.

If he, a Nascent Soul cultivator, could achieve such an effect, then the Evergreen Bearded Carp was probably not even at the early stage of the fifth rank.

"Master, this is the battle formation technique that our Ye family obtained from the Immortal Realm last time. Because I faked my death last time, I didn't have time to give it to you. Consider it an apology for not visiting you for the past hundred years." Ye Jingcheng also smoothly took out a jade slip.

The jade slip contained the battle formation method of the Heavenly Origin Vajra Formation.

Xingyuan Zhenjun had come to the Ye family to plead before, but Ye Qingnian couldn't make the decision at that time.

As for Ye Jingcheng, although he cherished these battle formations, the kindness he received from the Righteous Path Sect and the Righteous Origin Divine Lord was also immense.

Moreover, even if there were a leak, for the Ye family now, it's as common as having too many lice to worry about.

The Ye family's immortal scriptures, spiritual treasures, secrets of the spirit world, and numerous other treasures and cultivation techniques—which of them wouldn't be coveted by other Nascent Soul cultivators?

Moreover, he believed that the Divine Lord Zhengyuan would not easily allow these things to be leaked.

Therefore, this forms a trump card, which will be better for supporting the Ye family in the future.

However, Ye Jingcheng believed that a defensive battle formation was sufficient.

Even if we give it to him again, regardless of whether it's appropriate or not, Zheng Yuan Shenjun might not accept it.

"There's no need for that..." Zheng Yuan Divine Lord was also extremely surprised.

But he soon learned that it was probably Xingyuan Zhenjun and others from the Righteous Path Sect who had made the suggestion before.

“Master, this jade slip is useless to the Ye family. If the Ye family is in trouble in the future, with the help of the righteous sects, we may be able to overcome the difficulties,” Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.

At this moment, Zheng Yuan Shenjun did not refuse.

He was simply drinking with Ye Jingcheng.

Qinglong Brew isn't considered a strong alcohol, but any alcohol, if consumed in excess, becomes potent.

“Jingcheng, under normal circumstances, I would not accept your jade slip, but…” After a few drinks, Zheng Yuan Divine Lord showed a hint of worry.

Without him saying a word, Ye Jingcheng knew that True Monarch Yuntian had probably failed to break through.

Many Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators from the righteous sects are not showing their true colors, which is obviously because they are hiding them. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he can easily see that the one absorbing spiritual energy in the mountain is not True Monarch Yuntian, but someone else.

It should be noted that Zheng Yuan Shenjun intended to sneak into the Spirit Realm in another one or two hundred years.

These few hundred years are not a long time for Nascent Soul cultivators, nor for Core Formation cultivators.

This means that the righteous sects may not have any Nascent Soul cultivators to oversee them in the future.

"Jingcheng, do you take on apprentices?"
