Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1614 The Holy City Takes Shape: The Third Refinement of the Primordial Spirit Pill (Two chapters combined as a bonus chapter for the monthly ticket event)
Eastern Region, Sanyuan City.

Within the city walls, traffic flowed busily.

The constant flow of cultivators surprised all the cultivators who were visiting the city for the first time.

The people from the Ouyang family this time were such cultivators. Because Ouyang Jiayi was on Penglai Island in the Eastern Region, and the Ouyang family had also become an annex of the Ye family, even though they had territory and cities in the Central Region, they still sent half of their people to the Eastern Region.

After arriving in the Eastern Region, they naturally wanted to find a sacred mountain and then look for some shops in the market.

Lingshan is easy to deal with. The Ye family pays tribute according to the state government's standards, so other forces are also happy to take some Lingshan to sell.

This would reduce the tribute, and since many sacred mountains are still in the hands of the Ye family, they can naturally be sold as well.

Although most of these spiritual mountains are of the third or fourth rank, they can be cultivated, but it will consume a lot of spirit stones.

“Patriarch, we thought you were wrong before, but now it seems that I was short-sighted.” The elders of the Ouyang family looked at Ouyang Jin with a sense of shame.

When Ouyang Jin proposed that plan, many of them opposed it, believing that the Eastern Region was no match for the Central Region.

But if Ouyang Jin hadn't acted quickly, they wouldn't have been able to seize any shops, let alone occupy any suitable sacred mountains.

Even though there is no immortal cultivation conference in Sanyuan City, it still seems as if there is a Nascent Soul auction or Nascent Soul ceremony.

This would be unlikely even in the Central Region.

Ouyang Jin did not offer an explanation.

As the head of the family, he naturally wouldn't comment on the Ye family here.

Even if he could transmit his voice, it was his keen insight as the head of the family.

Of course, a hint of pride still showed on his face.

Because the decision he made was right.

Moreover, many Nascent Soul forces only know that the Ye family led other Divine Transformation forces to destroy the Mu family.

However, he learned from some friends that the Ye family would hold a Nascent Soul Ceremony after the next Immortal Realm event.

This is a grand event that can attract dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, and it's being held right here in Sanyuan City.

Many Nascent Soul forces in the Central Region are now opening shops here, and even other Divine Transformation forces in the Central Region have made arrangements.

These Nascent Soul cultivators who have now submitted to the Ye family can generally not even meet the core Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ye family; they can only meet Ye Yunsheng.

"Patriarch!" Just then, Ouyang Jiayi walked over from a distance.

Ouyang Jiayi came to visit her clansmen.

The Ye family restricted Ouyang Jiayi in the Eastern Region, but there was no problem in Sanyuan City.

“You are now a disciple of the Ye family’s Divine Lord Qianchen, so there’s no need to waste so much time looking for us. We’re doing well now. After all these years, we’ve long since let go of those prideful things,” Ouyang Jin said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Beneath the tone of dissatisfaction lay a hint of joy.

“There really isn’t that much time. There are just too many powerful cultivators in the Ye family.” Ouyang Jiayi couldn’t help but think of Ye Zhijian, Ye Tengchuan, Ye Jingyu, Ye Haicheng, Ye Haihe, Ye Qingfeng, Ye Qingnian, and others.

She originally felt quite superior in the Ouyang family, but after arriving at the Ye family, she realized that there was a reason why the Ye family was able to develop so well.

In her view, even without Ye Jingcheng, the Ye family would definitely become an immortal clan in the future.

She had just encountered some bottlenecks in her cultivation technique, so she came out to relax.

While relaxing, she also sensed the changes in Sanyuan City, which clearly indicated that the spiritual veins of Sanyuan City were about to be upgraded to mid-grade sixth-order spiritual veins.

Adding the spiritual veins of Penglai Island, that makes two mid-grade sixth-order spiritual veins.

She felt that the Ye family had a sixth-order spiritual vein.

"Our shop is all set up, but we haven't figured out what to sell," Ouyang Jin said honestly at this moment.

As a family of true spirits, they are actually skilled at raising spirit beasts.

But the Ye family is also a family of spirit beast enthusiasts, plus the elixir...

"Anything is fine. Sanyuan City will probably become the center of the Ten Yuan Realm in the future." Ouyang Jiayi had received some information from the Ye family.

The Ye family initially had some reservations, but Ye Yunsheng and Ye Tengming spoke with the Ye family's higher-ups together, and Ye Qingnian finally made the decision.

There are no restrictions on Sanyuan City; it's a free-for-all where any force can freely participate.

The Ye family doesn't want to earn a certain number of spirit stones in Sanyuan City.

The Ye family truly desires a massive cultivation market.

According to the information she received, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ye family in Sanyuan City take turns serving, with three Nascent Soul cultivators in each round, for a period of ten years.

If Ouyang Jiayi hadn't gone into seclusion, she would have joined the procession, after all, she was Ye Jingcheng's disciple.

And in the future, the Nascent Soul Assembly in Sanyuan City will be held once every ten years.

After the group discussed the matter, Ouyang Jin's expression became more expectant, and he immediately arranged for his clansmen to begin preparing for the establishment of a shop.

……

At this moment, in another restaurant in Sanyuan City, True Monarch Qingxia sat at a table and slowly put a piece of green jade grape into his mouth.

Ahead of her, there were many beautiful young women standing to the side.

“Palace Master, there are too many Nascent Soul cultivators who want to meet with the Ye family head right now. I may not have time for the next half month…” The young woman was also full of helplessness.

“That’s natural. Although the Ye family is not as powerful as the Fengtian Sect was back then, it already has the spirit of the Fengtian Sect. After all, many Nascent Soul cultivators can no longer contact the Upper Realm.” Fairy Qingxia was not surprised.

In her opinion, it would be abnormal if no one came to Sanyuan City to see Ye Qingnian.

"How's the shop I asked you to find out going?"

"It's very expensive, the rent is very high!" the woman said repeatedly.

This was the first time she had ever seen a shop with a rent of 200,000 spirit stones.

Two hundred thousand spirit stones is not for a year, but for three months, or one quarter.

This means that the Ye family can earn two portions of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid in three months without doing anything.

This is still a shop.

"Then let's go get one. It looks expensive now, but it won't be expensive in a few years." Fairy Qingxia saw things clearly.

Because Sanyuan City is currently the only one that doesn't care about other Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation forces opening shops.

Such spirit is not something that ordinary immortal sects can possess.

This means that the future Sanyuan City in the eastern region of the Great Yu Realm will not be the Sanyuan City of the Great Yu Realm, but the Great Yu City shared by the Ten Yuan Realms and the Eleven Xuan Realms.

In her opinion, if the Ye family does well, it might even become the permanent venue for the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

She didn't see the battle in Taiyuan Realm, but the Divine Medicine Lord and the Spirit Forging Lord went.

She had spoken with a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Divine Medicine Sect, who was also planning to open a shop in Sanyuan City.

She might earn 200,000 a quarter now, and she even suspects that it will be 100,000 a month in the future.

She also heard that the Ye family had permanently registered on three major lists in Sanyuan City: the Foundation Establishment List, the Purple Mansion List, and the Golden Core List, and that there would be rewards every time the list changed.

This kind of courage is something that no other force in the entire cultivation world possesses.

"By the way, the Ye family's Golden Core and Purple Mansion realms hold trade fairs from time to time, and you can participate in them more often," True Monarch Qingxia added.

The women nodded in agreement.

They knew what Qingxia Zhenjun meant.

The Qingxia Palace is composed entirely of female cultivators. Although it doesn't primarily focus on female cultivators arranging marriages, it does employ some marriage-related tactics. This is part of the reason why the Qingxia Palace has become the most likely candidate to become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the last hundred years.

Because Qingxia Palace has quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators on good terms with it.

……

Ye Yuan Palace in Sanyuan City. Because there were too many cultivators seeking an audience recently, Ye Qingnian simply came to Sanyuan City.

After all, the Ye family has made significant reforms to the Sanyuan City plan this time.

The Three Origins Holy City is a name that the Ye family will promote in the future.

This ceremony must be held before Ye Jingcheng enters the spirit world.

In this way, the continuous rental income provides the Ye family with spirit stones, and the numerous Nascent Soul cultivators make it easier for the Ye family to purchase spiritual herbs and various treasures.

Of course, this is also a challenge.

After all, with so many forces coming, there will be competition.

For example, whether the Ye family's spirit beast cubs have the highest potential, whether the Ye family's elixirs are of the highest quality, and the spirit talismans, pills, and spirit puppets.

If the Ye family fails to do their best in all these aspects, they risk losing their original market share.

Fortunately, all branches of the Ye family were full of confidence.

Ye Qingnian naturally had to work hard as well.

In recent days, forty or fifty Nascent Soul cultivators have come to see him.

Of course, most of those who came were Nascent Soul cultivators. As for Deity Transformation cultivators, some came to Sanyuan City, but none of them could find Ye Jingcheng, so they had to give up.

They also knew that Ye Jingcheng would definitely need to go into seclusion after experiencing the Mu family war.

Therefore, no one had any objections.

Almost all the Nascent Soul cultivators came with congratulatory gifts; some had attended the previous Deity Transformation Ceremony, while others had not.

Ye Qingnian's principle for receiving guests was not based on the strength of their forces, but on whether they had participated in the siege of the Mu family or the previous ceremony. If they had not participated in either, they would be received last.

Even so, they received quite a few congratulatory gifts.

There are also many forces that want to cooperate with the Ye family.

Fortunately, he called Ye Jingfu.

The latter brought many members of the merchant clan, plus Ye Yunsheng and Ye Tengming on the side, so he was able to handle it.

At the same time, advanced pills, medicinal herbs, and spiritual materials that were originally extremely difficult to find are now readily available.

In just a few days, he has even gathered a considerable amount of materials for advancing fifth-tier spirit beasts into advanced pills.

Meanwhile, most of the Ye family's shops have been sold, and he is now wondering if the Ye family set the prices too low.

……

Within the Stone Spirit Cave, Ye Jingcheng was naturally unaware of the changes in the Three Yuan City, the Great Yu Realm, and even the entire Ten Yuan Realm and the Eleven Xuan Realms.

He was currently in the pavilion of the cave, sitting on the Xuanlian Lingfu, studying a jade slip.

Beside him was the Crimson Flame Fox.

The Crimson Flame Fox lay quietly beside Ye Jingcheng, like a lazy kitten in the sunlight.

"That's about it!" Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment before finally putting away the jade slip.

The Crimson Flame Fox immediately stood up as well.

It opened its eyes, and the flames in its eyes kept flickering.

This time, it also swallowed a sixth-order primordial spirit. Although it was not enough to break through the closed-door cultivation, it still needed some time to digest it.

As the Crimson Flame Fox rose, the surrounding divine domain of flames suddenly intensified, the earthen palace formed by the Golden Scale Beast in the distance collapsed, and the Zhu Yan was also ignited, thrashing about in the fire.

Although Zhu Yan possesses the supernatural power of being immune to all laws, this power is clearly limited, as the Crimson Flame Fox is a realm higher than it.

Even the golden falcons and seven-colored cloud deer on the periphery couldn't help but retreat.

"Lili!" the Crimson Flame Fox called out softly, as if haughtily apologizing.

Even though it's now at the sixth rank, it basically doesn't take on human form and doesn't talk much, but all the demon beasts understand it.

Neither Zhu Yan nor the Seven-Colored Cloud Deer reacted.

But the golden-scaled beast raised its head:
"Roar, Red-skinned Monster, burn me to death!" The Golden-scaled Beast's arrogance grew even stronger. It thought of the Demon Saint's Primordial Spirit and the elixir that its master had prepared for it, and it was full of energy.

Even when burned and battered beyond recognition, it remained utterly unyielding.

It certainly didn't want to end up like the Jade Ring Rat, with only one descendant left in this cave.

"It's refining pills!" Ye Jingcheng shared a bit of the precious light, then looked at the Crimson Flame Fox.

This time, I'm refining a Primordial Spirit Pill. Although it's a low-grade sixth-order spiritual pill, it's actually not much easier to refine than a mid-grade sixth-order spiritual pill.

Fortunately, he was able to refine mid-grade sixth-order spirit pills, and with so much preparation and research over this period, he was extremely confident.

The challenge lies in refining at least four Yuan Shen Pills from three portions of spiritual materials.

The Crimson Flame Fox exhaled spiritual fire, and Ye Jingcheng also released the Great Sun Golden Smoke Furnace. As the furnace began to condense, the Great Sun Golden Smoke appeared, and Ye Jingcheng began to put in one batch of spiritual materials after another.

The spiritual fire changed continuously over time, and the elixir inside the furnace was filled with radiant light.

After ten days.

The spiritual energy of the entire cave was drawn in.

The spirit beasts in the distance also looked over.

Even peach wood and stone spirits were focused on this furnace.

As a matter of instinct for spirit beasts and living beings, this Yuan Shen Pill is obviously extremely tempting.

It was only within Ye Jingcheng's cave that this happened; otherwise, if word got out, it could have caused a beast tide.

"One is not bad!" Ye Jingcheng looked inside the alchemy furnace; one pill was formed, while another eventually turned into dregs.

I was just a little short of successfully forming two Nascent Soul Pills.

"Master, it was my fault for not controlling it properly!" Crimson Flame Fox said apologetically from the side.

"It has nothing to do with you. We'll summarize for half a month, and then continue refining." Ye Jingcheng wasn't in a hurry and continued to give the spirit beasts and spirit plants precious light.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the spirit vine, which had been doing nothing, had actually grown an inch.

Although this change was minor and consumed some of the Blood Spring, it signified that the combination of one's precious light and the Blood Spring was effective.

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, Tao Mu was staring at the spirit vine, seemingly lost in thought.

"Master, I don't know why, it's like this spirit vine has some kind of special power," the peach wood spirit explained when it saw Ye Jingcheng looking at it.

"Then let's continue looking." Ye Jingcheng looked at the Xuanke Jinwen and found that he couldn't understand it and was even getting dizzy from looking at it. The fact that he could understand the peach wood meant that it was a blessing.

He stopped paying attention to it.

Two months have passed quietly.

As the Great Sun Golden Smoke Furnace was unveiled, two gleaming golden pills appeared, and finally, under the guidance of the spiritual incantation, they fell into the pill bottle.

"Two more!" Ye Jingcheng's face was full of joy.

This is already the third batch of Yuan Shen Pills; he had already refined two batches before.

The second batch also yielded two pieces, making a total of five pieces in total.

Of course, one of them is to be given to Lord Potian.

At this moment, he was looking at one of the remaining four. The faint red patterns were like exquisite designs, carrying a trace of spirituality. They fell into his eyes, making Ye Jingcheng particularly fond of them.

This is the second batch of spirit pills, and it's the only one out of the five that has spirit patterns.
