Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1547 Divine Medicine Sect (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Don't worry, there are many types, but the fire and wood attributes are more common," the green-robed cultivator continued telepathically.

He also took out a jade slip, which contained records of the blood essence of five or six extremely rare fifth-order spirit beasts, such as the fifth-order Rock Armored Fierce Bear and the fifth-order Dragon Horned Spirit Earthworm.

Ye Qingnian also recognized the cultivator's identity.

He came from Liuyun Valley in the Mortal Realm, named Xiao Liuchuan. He was known for not taking a Daoist title until he reached the Nascent Soul stage. His strength was indeed quite good; he was less than a thousand years old and had already reached the late Nascent Soul stage, close to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

The Flowing Cloud Valley behind it ranks third among the immortal sects in the Mortal Realm, roughly the same as the Righteous Path Sect in the Great Yu Realm.

However, what's special about the mortal realm is that the demon saints there don't each occupy their own territory and become kings, but instead form a myriad demon alliance.

The alliance has three demon saints and several human Nascent Soul forces, and they have been constantly at odds because the leading demon saint is a mid-stage sixth-order Primordial Heavenly Ape who has lived for four thousand years. Even if the Nascent Soul forces join forces, they cannot suppress the Myriad Demon Alliance.

On the contrary, those demon saints and demon emperors often stir up beast tides, with small beast tides once every hundred years and large beast tides once every three hundred years. They are well-known in the Ten Realms.

Many cultivators from immortal sects also like to go to the mortal realm for training because they can obtain a lot of high-level demon beast blood essence and spiritual materials there.

"How about it? I guarantee that Patriarch Ye will not suffer any losses."

"That was in the past. My father was refining a kind of elixir. Now the elixir is finished. Although it still requires essence blood, it's far from that point. As for the dragon cubs, even the Ye family hasn't been able to raise many over the years. Their reproduction rate is really too low." Ye Qingnian's refusal was quite obvious.

The Ye family had naturally studied the Mortal Realm and its Myriad Demon Alliance.

However, the main fifth-tier demon emperors in the Myriad Demon Alliance are still some relatively common demon emperors, but the essence blood in front of us is not so common.

This gave Ye Qingnian a sense of something unusual.

Although he didn't know what Xiao Liuchuan was up to, Ye Qingnian still decided to politely decline.

It wasn't that he was being overly cautious, but rather that at this point, the Ye family's enemy in the mortal realm had become the Mu family.

The Mu family also has many spirit beasts, so it would be too easy for them to extract some precious spirit beast blood essence.

“But if we were to exchange them for fifth-tier Netherfire Apes, White-browed Green Wolves, and Golden Lizard descendants, those three groups would be more numerous,” Ye Qingnian then inquired.

"Then it's not necessary." Xiao Liuchuan refused directly upon hearing this.

Moreover, his gaze was looking elsewhere, as if he was contacting someone else.

This surprised Ye Qingnian, and he even began to wonder if he was being petty and judging others by his own standards.

However, he quickly shook his head. The Ye family now needs sixth-tier spirit beast blood, and fifth-tier blood is no longer as necessary.

Therefore, even though these spiritual blood could be kept to refine advanced pills in the future, he didn't say anything more.

"Alright, let's begin the trade fair. I'll start by offering my initial thoughts." Just as Ye Qingnian was pondering, Yun Qianhe began to speak.

Before the trade fair, participants will be given the opportunity to ask questions individually.

But his real intention was to find a possible breakthrough, so this process naturally wouldn't take long.

As he spoke, he also took out a fifth-grade top-quality Glazed Golden Armor magic weapon.

A fifth-tier top-grade defensive magic weapon still attracts the attention of many cultivators.

Even Ye Qingnian was somewhat tempted.

"I'll only exchange this treasure for a sixth-tier breakthrough-grade spiritual herb, one that's over two thousand years old." Upon hearing this, Ye Qingnian immediately gave up, abandoning the idea altogether.

Most breakthrough-level sixth-tier spiritual herbs require at least two thousand years to be used in medicine, and some even require five or six thousand years.

It requires two thousand years, almost enough time for a sixth-tier precious medicine to mature.

These are invaluable treasures to all the Nascent Soul cultivators present.

While the fifth-tier top-grade magic weapon, the spirit armor, is also very precious, it is still less attractive than breaking through.

After all, as the core Nascent Soul cultivators of the immortal sects, their safety doesn't need to be a major concern.

Therefore, many cultivators stopped looking at Yun Qianhe. No one changed their gaze until the very end.

Yun Qianhe seemed to have expected this as well.

He put away the spirit armor and took out a fifth-grade high-quality defensive magic weapon.

This time, he didn't exchange it for a sixth-grade precious medicine, but rather a high-grade method for condensing true essence and strengthening the soul.

This time, the result was quick; it was exchanged by a bearded monk.

The trade fair proceeded quietly, and at that moment, True Monarch Xingyuan suddenly looked at Ye Qingnian.

"Qingnian, Fellow Daoist Xiao has some fifth-tier essence blood..."

“Uncle Xingyuan, if we were to exchange these fifth-tier essence blood for a dragon, there would be no need to discuss it further,” Ye Qingnian continued.

He wanted to see whether Xiao Liuchuan wanted to exchange his essence blood or really wanted the dragon cub.

Even as the trade fair drew to a close, Xiao Liuchuan never contacted Ye Qingnian again, nor did he contact Xingyuan Zhenjun or Xuhuai Zhenjun.

In the end, Ye Qingnian exchanged a fifth-grade high-level demonic attack magic weapon for a fifth-grade mid-level soul-guarding ancient jade.

The entire trade fair will then conclude, followed by a discussion session.

One person shared some insights on spiritual cultivation.

However, when he saw that they were all holding back and explaining things in a very superficial way, Ye Qingnian lost much interest.

Only Yun Qianhe showed great interest, seemingly wanting to find a breakthrough to the Divine Transformation realm from these simple discussions, which even impressed Ye Qingnian.

Besides exchanging treasures and discussing Dao, Ye Qingnian also made contact with Elder Bai of the Divine Medicine Sect in the Tianhuan Realm.

The Divine Medicine Sect is exceptionally skilled in cultivating spiritual herbs.

Moreover, it is an old and established sect, and has cultivated many rare spiritual herbs within its ranks.

Even before the Ye family became a Nascent Soul family, he wanted to establish some connections with the Divine Medicine Sect and conduct some spiritual medicine transactions in the future.

And the result was as expected, as the Divine Medicine Sect needed some spirit beast demon cores for its medicine.

The Ye family possesses the East Sea and the Starry Sea, and is also located east of the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, making them ideal for providing the inner cores of these demonic beasts.

"I hope it's just my imagination." Ye Qingnian murmured to himself as he watched the Nascent Soul Gathering come to a complete end and Xiao Liuchuan disappear into the horizon.

……

Inside a sacred palace, Xiao Liuchuan walked into the palace.

An old man inside had been waiting for a long time.

"how?"

"Ye Qingnian is extremely cautious, and seems to have seen through our intentions."

“The Ye family father and son are indeed quite something. In this way, we can no longer use their essence blood to locate them and threaten them.” The old man sat back down and closed his eyes slightly as he spoke.

"You haven't been exposed, have you?" After hesitating for a moment, the old man asked again.

“Nothing has been exposed.” Xiao Liuchuan shook his head.

"That's good. In the next couple of days, continue to spread the word at the trade fair about finding the dragon cub!"

"Ye Qingnian's move is better if it's made, but it won't have a big impact if it's not!" the old man added, then waved for Xiao Liuchuan to leave.
