Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1587 The Secret Technique of Summoning Spirits in the Three-Element Holy City (Two Chapters Combined, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Eastern Region, Sanyuan City.

As the first rays of sunlight streamed down the horizon, the entire city became even more bustling.

The streets were bustling with monks.

The shops were packed with people, making it exceptionally noisy.

Penglai Island suffered considerable damage, and many of the surrounding islands also sank.

The cultivators who participated in the ceremony on Penglai Island naturally couldn't stay in the secret realm forever, and almost all of them went to Sanyuan City.

A new spiritual vein has been opened up on the outskirts of Sanyuan City.

Within the spiritual vein, numerous temporary cave dwellings have been set up for independent cultivators and low-level forces to rent at low prices, thus alleviating the concerns of those who do not have a spiritual vein to cultivate in.

Meanwhile, due to the ceremony, the Ye family has waived the teleportation array fee from Penglai Island to Sanyuan City.

It allows cultivators to freely teleport between two locations three times in a short period of time, and even teleporting to the East Sea to hunt monsters can be done without paying one teleportation fee.

However, the ceremony was only postponed for half a year. Except for some cultivators who were really short of spirit stones, most of them did not go to the East Sea, but stayed in the more convenient and lively Sanyuan City.

On the day of the ceremony, Sanyuan City was also damaged, and the Ye family took the opportunity to expand several times, and also improved the array and spiritual veins.

Even after several expansions, the place still felt extremely crowded with the large number of cultivators.

Of course, the shops in Sanyuan City also profited greatly.

During this period, the Ye family also raised their prices and lowered them by 10%.

But don't feel like you've lost out.

Now, not only are the Ye family's shops in short supply, but even third- and fourth-tier shops are in high demand.

At this moment, inside the Wei family's shop, Wei Yuanyu and his clansmen were all smiles.

The Wei family was skilled in the art of talismans, and during their previous period of recuperation, they accumulated a considerable number of talismans.

This time, however, 80% of the units were sold in Sanyuan City.

They earned a huge amount of spirit stones.

In the past, it might not have been possible to sell this many units even in ten years.

Moreover, compared to the immediate benefits, Wei Yuanyu was thinking about the benefits to come.

The Ye family has now displayed more than five Nascent Soul stage cultivators, including those from the Ziyang Sect and the Righteous Path Sect.

In the future, it's uncertain whether the Central Region or the Eastern Region will become the core of the Great Yu Realm.

At that time, it might not have been the Ye family that went to the Central Region to occupy territory, but rather the Righteous Path Sect and the Purple Sun Sect that opened branch sects in the Eastern Region.

As affiliated forces of the Ye family, they will also rise in status in the future.

However, Wei Yuanyu also became somewhat worried.

Because the Ye family established ten states in the Eastern Region, just like the previous cultivation kingdoms, but the Nascent Soul forces were few, and the Golden Core and Purple Mansion forces were also very few.

Even with so many years of policies implemented by the Ye family, they haven't been able to gather much influence.

This is not just because the spiritual energy in the Eastern Region is relatively weaker.

Furthermore, the Central Region comprises fifty or sixty large states, which are incredibly prosperous and dotted with various teleportation arrays.

Under the previous leadership of the Penglai Demonic Sect, countless Dao-seizing techniques have been leaked in the Eastern Region, making many people unwilling to come there.

But now that this has happened, it's likely that many Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators will come to the Eastern Region to submit to the Ye family.

When choosing a vassal, a subordinate power considers more than just spiritual energy and resources; it also considers the other party's strength.

Just like the Ouyang family before, there was no news of any Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, and the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect was not at its peak.

Those Nascent Soul cultivators dared not submit to them, as they would likely be oppressed if they did.

Any power will worry that its subordinate forces will become too powerful and surpass it.

But in the Ye family, there was no such worry at all.

With so many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Ye family, how many other forces could surpass them?

Even Medicine King Valley breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Because Ye Jingcheng had previously given Yaowang Valley a Qingshen Pill, there is still hope that Yaowang Valley will produce a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future.

However, they were also worried that the Ye family might, like the previous Penglai, secretly attack Medicine King Valley to prevent the emergence of Nascent Soul cultivators among its vassals.

This is also why they insisted on giving the majority of the profits from the Medicine King Valley's medicinal herb garden to the Ye family back then, no matter what.

But now, there's no need to worry so much.

With so many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Ye family, why would they worry about Nascent Soul cultivators emerging from their subordinates?

From this, one can imagine how many Nascent Soul forces and even more Golden Core forces there will be in a single state.

"You all need to work hard. This time I will bid for a Condensed Gold Pill, and I will also do my best to bid for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid!" Wei Yuanyu said with great seriousness.

Although the ceremony was postponed, auctions will still be held in Sanyuan City. There will be a fourth-tier auction every five days and a fifth-tier auction every month until the ceremony is completed.

In addition, various trade fairs are held, spearheaded by the talented cultivators of the Ye family.

……

At this moment, Xiao Shaoan of the Xiao family was also mobilizing the Xiao family cultivators.

When Sanyuan City was first built, the Ye family donated many shops.

The original members of the Ye family were all allocated shops at low prices.

The Xiao family was one of them.
The prosperity of Sanyuan City this time also made the Xiao family a fortune.

At this moment, they even felt that the obstruction of the Ye family's ceremony was actually a good thing.

However, the pressure is the same as that of the Wei family. After all, in the entire Yanzhou, there is now a Nascent Soul power, the Heavenly Blade Sect, as well as many Golden Core powers such as the Wei family and the Gu family.

If the Xiao family cannot develop better, there will be more Nascent Soul and Golden Core forces in the future, and then it will not be a question of whether they can keep up with the Ye family.

It's probably a question of whether the Ye family will even notice the Xiao family's problems by then.

In the past, the Xiao family had some affection for the Ye family, but with the rise of the younger generation of the Ye family, this affection will become less and less.

Only by striving to keep pace with the Ye family can they continue to prosper.

"We're not in a rush for the Nascent Soul Pill, but our Xiao family must acquire one of these Golden Condensation Pills to prepare for the Earthly Immortal Realm a hundred years from now," Xiao Shaoan said.

Unlike Penglai, the Ye family did not try to hide the affairs of the Immortal Realm.

Of course, it's impossible to hide it even if you want to.

Therefore, the Ye family's policies are somewhat similar to those of the righteous sects.

Many Golden Core cultivators have already begun preparations for the Earthly Immortal Realm.

"You younger generation also need to perform well. Putting aside everything else, don't let those Wei family members who only got ahead by currying favor be outdone by you!" Xiao Shaoan gave his final instructions.

Although the Ye family's affiliated forces don't fight each other too fiercely, there's always been a competition among them in the upbringing of their descendants.

The major powers are happy to do so.

……

At this moment, in Sanyuan City, in addition to the excitement among the cultivators, the various affiliated forces also began to prepare for battle.

In particular, almost all of the Ye family's faction in the Eastern Region felt a sense of crisis.

At this moment, they didn't even plan to keep the spare spirit stones that their family had reserved.

At these auctions, acquire more treasures, then go to the Immortal Realm to obtain more treasures.

Only in this way can they maintain their position. Otherwise, they suspect that the Eastern Region will become even more powerful than the Central Region in the future.

Even Nascent Soul affiliated forces like Medicine King Valley, Xuan Kui Sect, Jiang Family, and Star Gate became tense at this moment.

They discovered that too many shops in Sanyuan City were being asked whether they wanted to transfer ownership.

Even at the stalls run by independent cultivators, many rare treasures have begun to appear.

This indicates that the cultural heritage of Sanyuan City is constantly being enhanced.

If they can't produce enough and good enough treasures, their shops will probably become a laughing stock.

At that time, the Ye family will definitely arrange for other Nascent Soul forces to move in, in order to ensure that the major shops in Sanyuan City will still maintain their authority.

……

On the fifth floor of Taiyuan Restaurant, Ye Yunsheng and a group of Ye family cultivators were also present.

Compared to their subordinate forces, they all began to secretly compete with each other.

For these members of the Ye family, the pressure is also considerable.

The Ye family is now the strongest Nascent Soul family in the Great Yu Realm.

If the performance is unsatisfactory, it will directly affect other people's perception of the family.

At the same time, the family has taken out a large number of treasures to fill the market in Sanyuan City.

It's not just about earning spirit stones and spiritual items.

Furthermore, it is necessary to establish the reputation of Sanyuan City as a market town, laying the foundation for it to become the most prosperous cultivation city in the Great Yu Realm in the future.

"Grandpa." At that moment, a figure walked in, and Ye Yunsheng called out repeatedly.

The person who came was Ye Jingcheng.

He came to see Ouyang Jin and took the opportunity to check on his family's situation.

"Grandpa, Ouyang Jin has been arranged to stay in the Earth-level secret room." The Ye family has now completely perfected the spatial method of the restaurant and has launched four secret rooms: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, as well as ten ordinary secret rooms.

They have a great reputation in the world of ten-yuan coins.

Nowadays, only top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators can enter these secret rooms; ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators will choose regular rooms.

After briefly learning about the situation in Sanyuan City, Ye Jingcheng didn't delay and went straight to the Earth-level secret room.

Once inside, you'll find yourself in a vast lake, its surface teeming with shimmering star-patterned fish, while in the center, countless jade lotuses bloom.

These jade lotuses, like emeralds, grow exceptionally beautifully.

Only amidst the lotus leaves is there a small palace.

At the entrance of the hall, Ouyang Jin stood there with a woman, seemingly having waited for quite some time.

“Senior Qianchen.” Although this was the first time Ouyang Jin had met Ye Jingcheng, he had seen many portraits of Ye Jingcheng.

He then led the woman to bow to Ye Jingcheng.

"Have you been waiting long?" Ye Jingcheng said calmly, and took the lead in walking towards the palace.

Of course, it wasn't that he was deliberately putting on airs, but as a Nascent Soul cultivator, his excessive enthusiasm was probably more unbearable for Ouyang Jin.

"We just arrived, it wasn't long before we did. Sanyuan City has been really lively lately." As the head of the family, Ouyang Jin naturally wouldn't let the conversation fall flat.

From the moment the Ye family revealed their full strength, he knew that if the Ye family wanted to deceive them, the Ouyang family wouldn't be able to put up any resistance.

Therefore, he was in a particularly relaxed state of mind at this moment.

"Did you bring the essence blood?" Ye Jingcheng asked directly after entering the palace, without any hesitation.

It's not that he didn't want to negotiate and try to gain more benefits.

Rather, the conditions had already been agreed upon beforehand.

Secondly, he has too many other things to deal with and doesn't have time to waste here.

As for Ouyang Jin, he figured the latter wouldn't dare to raise the price arbitrarily.

"Here, Senior Qianchen, please examine this." Ouyang Jin carefully took out a jade box, on which was a talisman.

Once the talisman was removed, a black jade bottle was revealed inside, along with two top-grade fire-attribute spirit stones.

There were two drops of semen in the bottle.

Unlike ordinary essence blood, these two drops of essence blood resembled two flames and were constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

Within the essence of blood, a close inspection reveals a giant crimson primordial fox.

The intense sixth-order fire attribute aura emanating from it made Ye Jingcheng feel a burning sensation.

"Indeed, it is sixth-order essence blood." Ye Jingcheng nodded after examining it for a moment.

The essence blood was of even better quality than he had imagined, and it was also very well preserved.

This is clearly related to those two top-grade spirit stones.

However, the fact that the other party also took out a top-grade spirit stone to show him was rather intriguing.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng didn't reveal anything, but instead quietly took out a jade bottle.

Inside the jade bottle were two drops of the Heavenly Phoenix Saint's essence blood, which possessed fire attributes.

"She must be the one who cultivates this essence blood technique." According to the agreement, the Ye family provides essence blood in exchange, but the person from the Ouyang family who uses this essence blood must not leave the Ye family's sights.

“That’s right, Senior Qianchen. Jiayi is a spiritual cultivator of our Ouyang family in this generation. Although she doesn’t have a Heavenly Spiritual Root, she has the Taiyu Phoenix Body. If she cultivates with the essence blood of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, her cultivation speed will be greatly increased,” Ouyang Jin explained.

Ouyang Jiayi may not look very old, but her cultivation level is quite high, already at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Senior Qianchen, I have another request." Ouyang Jin hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

"This junior wishes to use these two top-grade fire-attribute spirit stones, along with the Ouyang family's spirit-summoning secret technique, to exchange for the Ye family's protection and become a subordinate force of the Ye family!" Ouyang Jin finally spoke after hesitating for a long time.

These words surprised Ye Jingcheng, even though he had some guesses.

The Ouyang family was previously a Nascent Soul family, so it was naturally unexpected that they would stoop to become a vassal of the Ye family.

Not to mention, he also took out two top-grade spirit stones and the core secret technique of the Ouyang clan.

"Oh, what are the conditions?" Ye Jingcheng was naturally still somewhat interested in the Ouyang family's secret techniques.

These families of true spirits can unleash power similar to the Ye family's spirit control by using essence and blood.

It wasn't actually of much use to the Ye family.

However, there are quite a few non-bloodline members of the Ye family in the inner hall of the Ye family.

If this secret method could be used, even non-bloodline members of the Ye family could benefit from the power of spirit beasts.

This will be more helpful for the stability of the Ye family.

At the same time, the Ye family might also gain some inspiration from this.

Enhance the power of spirits.

But he also knew that Ouyang Jin's demands went far beyond those.

“Senior Qianchen, I do have one or two requests. One is to accept Jiayi as my disciple, just like you accepted Zining. The other is, if possible, I hope that when you enter the Spirit Realm, you can also take Jiayi with you.” Ouyang Jin took a deep breath and laid out all his requests.

Whether the Ouyang family is strong or not is related to their essence and blood. He estimated that even if Ouyang Jiayi enters the Nascent Soul stage, she will not be able to enter the Spirit Realm smoothly.

The Ye family's strength is right in front of us. If the Ye family enters the Spirit Realm, they can bring Ouyang Jiayi with them.

In this way, once Ouyang Jiayi enters the spirit world, she can find the Ouyang family there, exchange their essence blood, and then bring it down to the mortal world to revitalize the Ouyang family.
