Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1622 The Deal (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)
The formation was a set of array plates that the Ye family had taken from the Mu family. It wasn't very powerful, but it was indeed the best formation that Ye Jingcheng had set up.

The rest of the formations have already been set up by the family.

Of course, he set up this formation just in case; he didn't expect it to be very effective.

Ye Jingcheng didn't have to wait long before he saw a dark, oppressive cloud surging in from afar.

By the time they surged close, half of the world had already fallen into the dark clouds, making it look exceptionally oppressive.

"I have long admired Fellow Daoist Qianchen. Meeting you today, I can confirm that you are indeed a dragon among men!" A voice rang out.

Three figures descended from the dark clouds.

Of the three figures, one had eight faint wings on its back, one had many evil markings on its face, and the last one had purple python patterns all over its body.

"You three are too kind!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand.

The Golden Roc Demon Saint had already whispered the identities of the three demon saints in his ear.

They are the Eight-Winged Demon Saint, the Night Cloud Demon Saint, and the Purple-Patterned Demon Saint.

The three entities are the Eight-Winged Frost Centipede, the Nine-Heaven Night Hawk, and the Purple Yuan Extreme Python.

All three Demon Saints possessed considerable talent, but they were certainly not as famous as the Sky-Splitting Demon Saint.

At this moment, a pavilion ten zhang in size has been set up on Mount Ling, with a round stone table three zhang in diameter in the middle, and some stone benches placed next to the stone table.

Ye Jingcheng invited the demon saints to sit down, and then took out some spiritual tea.

However, this spiritual tea is not the tea of ​​saints, but ordinary fifth-grade spiritual tea.

“Fellow Daoist Qianchen, to be honest, we were threatened by the Sky-Splitting Mantis before, and forced to go to the Great Yu Realm.” The Eight-Winged Demon Saint spoke first.

"But the three of us are not competitive by nature. We only dream of one day attaining enlightenment and ascending to the Spirit Realm, so we joined forces to refuse!"

“Even the Xuan Niu Demon Saint, after returning from the Great Yu Realm, we didn’t have much interaction with him, and then he went to the Mortal Realm…” The Eight-Winged Demon Saint recounted the events one by one.

"Therefore, after discussion, we unanimously agree that the Rift Continent where the Rift Clan of the Heavenly Insect Realm resides, the Black Ox Continent where the Black Ox Clan resides, the Yuan Thunder Continent where the Yuan Thunder Clan resides, and the Ape Spirit Continent where the Three-Headed Spirit Bird and the Sea-Suppressing Demon Ape reside should all belong to the Ye family. We are also willing to offer some of the sixth-order treasures that are abundant in them!" After the Eight-Winged Demon Saint finished speaking, he took out two sixth-order spiritual herbs and one sixth-order magic weapon.

After looking at them, Ye Jingcheng simply let the three treasures fall onto the stone table.

He did not go forward to take it.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, these are indeed all the treasures we obtained. Of course, we didn't take any fifth-tier treasures..." The Eight-Winged Demon Saint thought Ye Jingcheng was dissatisfied, and his face showed some anger.

They believed they were sincere enough.

"Fellow Daoists, you've misunderstood," Ye Jingcheng said, waving his hand.

"These clans brought this upon themselves. Those demon beast clans have also been sent to my Ye family by the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance. The Ten Thousand Demon Alliance even sent congratulatory gifts. This matter is only the fault of these demon saints and the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance. I, Ye, will naturally not blame you!" Ye Jingcheng had already found out that these demon saints and the Rift Sky Demon Saint were indeed at odds.

Even when the righteous sects, Ziyang Sect, entered the Heavenly Insect Realm, they did not have these demon saints.

Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't blame him, nor would he take the opportunity to make exorbitant demands.

This immediately relieved the three demon saints.

What they fear most is Ye Jingcheng blaming them.

After all, there are far too many precedents and examples of such things among humans, and they have heard countless examples and legends of human greed.

"Fellow Daoists, please take back these three treasures. As for the territory of the Heavenly Insect Realm, I do intend to take it. I will take the Rift Sky Continent, the Profound Ox Continent, and the Yuan Thunder Continent. As for the remaining Spirit Continent, although it is not small in area, it is still too far away for my human race," Ye Jingcheng continued.

However, after saying that, amidst the joyful expressions of the others, Ye Jingcheng added:

"However, fellow Daoists, I do indeed have an important matter to ask of you!"

As he spoke, Ye Jingcheng took out a jade slip and handed it to the three of them to examine.

The jade slip contained the main ingredients for the Dream-Swallowing Pill, the Sky-Splitting Pill, and the Vajra Flying Ant Pill.

"If you have these spiritual materials or the blood of sixth-order flying ants, soul insects, or earthworms, I can exchange them for elixirs. I can also refine elixirs for you. I am a sixth-order mid-grade elixir master," Ye Jingcheng continued.

As he spoke, he took out two Thousand Moon Spirit Condensation Pills.

"I do indeed possess a sixth-tier Blood Essence Pure Lotus..."

“I have Void Moss…”

“I have ten drops of the essence blood of the Soul-Nether Worm, and this Soul-Nether Worm is exactly at the sixth rank…”

……

To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, one of the three demon saints had the same thing.

Among them, the Purple-Veined Demon Saint even possessed the essence blood of the Soul-Nether Worm.

This made Ye Jingcheng instantly feel that he had made the right decision to come this time.

Although cultivators participate in the Nascent Soul Transformation Assembly, many Nascent Soul Transformation Demon Saints do not participate in it.

The demon saints of the Celestial Insect Realm basically do not participate.

In addition, since it is a place where spirit insects are abundant, it is natural that the spirit insect demon saint has more blood.

"However, gentlemen, one spiritual material cannot be exchanged for one spiritual pill; at least two are required," Ye Jingcheng added, suppressing his joy.

"I'm giving you this Blood Essence Pure Lotus. There's only half left. Consider it a bargain I found when I retrieved a sixth-grade spiritual material." The Eight-Winged Demon Saint handed a jade box directly to Ye Jingcheng.

Of the three sixth-tier spiritual materials he had previously retrieved, two were taken by it. It was closer to Rift Sky Continent and took the sixth-tier spiritual materials from the Rift Sky Clan first.

Those two spiritual objects turned out to be quite useful to it.

However, after hearing about the Ye family's strength, it dared not devour it.

"I'll give you mine too!" Night Cloud Demon Saint nodded as well. The sixth-tier magic weapon it received was a sixth-tier magic weapon from Yuanlei Continent, which was given to its descendant by Yuanlei Demon Saint.

This sixth-tier magic weapon is exceptionally special; not only can demonic beasts use it, but even peak fifth-tier cultivators can use it.

“I still have a sixth-tier Purple Fiend Soul Essence Flower, but it’s not mature yet!” said the Purple-Patterned Demon Saint.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng's face lit up with even greater joy. Both the Blood Essence Pure Lotus and the Purple Fiend Soul Essence Flower were key ingredients for the Dream Devouring Pill.

With these spiritual materials and spiritual blood, the sixth-order Dream Devouring Pill will be ready soon.

Entering the spirit realm this way, even if one devours a considerable number of demon saints' souls, there's no need to worry about not being able to digest them.

This is crucial for the Ye family's future entry into the spirit world.

He already knew from Mu Mingqing that the restrictions on soul searching would only be greater for the Jade Book of the Spirit Realm families and sects.

Especially the Jade Soul Clan, whose Soul Jade has never been searched by any cultivator from the Spirit Realm.

"It's alright, even immature ones are fine!" Ye Jingcheng first took out a Thousand Moon Spirit Condensation Pill and handed it to the Purple Pattern Demon Saint, then took out some spiritual treasures.

In the end, he actually managed to exchange a low-grade spiritual treasure for the spiritual materials of a Sky-Splitting Pill and the main ingredient of a Flying Ant Pill.

The three demon saints also told Ye Jingcheng that they would continue to search for these spiritual materials and blood, and then exchange them with Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng naturally nodded in agreement.

……

Just as Ye Jingcheng saw off the three demon saints and was about to leave, he noticed that a jade token in his hand lit up.

He picked up the jade token, and a jade toad appeared on it.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile.

The Jade Toad Demon Saint has also arrived.

When the other party left Sanyuan City, they left him a jade token to facilitate future communication.

Now that Ye Jingcheng has appeared in the Heavenly Insect Realm, and the other party is still lit up, it is likely that he has been chased from Sanyuan City to the Heavenly Insect Realm.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't in a hurry. After sending his location information to the other party, he waited quietly.

There's no need to put away the sixth-order formation yet.

The Jade Toad Demon Saint didn't have to wait long. When the other party arrived at the pavilion, he had a fawning smile on his face.

“Fellow Daoist Qianchen, my alliance leader has news. He says there’s something you’ll definitely like!” said Jade Toad Demon Saint.

However, his gaze was fixed on the Golden Roc Demon Saint and Ye Yunsheng.

They clearly wanted others to move to another location.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng did not hesitate. Since the other party was only a demon saint, he was naturally not afraid.

Therefore, he directly took out an ordinary cave and entered it together with the Jade Toad Demon Saint.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, have you ever seen this Heavenly Map?" Jade Toad Demon Saint took out a map.

It was the Heaven-Sealing Diagram.

Ye Jingcheng has two of these pictures, one from the Mu family and the other from Tianjue Valley.

Unexpectedly, the other party produced a Heaven-Sealing Diagram.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng was surprised inside, but on the surface he remained very calm.

"I've seen it before. It was available at the last Nascent Soul Cultivation Conference. But there are five copies of this Heavenly Map, so it's useless to my Ye family!" Ye Jingcheng didn't pretend not to recognize it. After all, he had participated in the Nascent Soul Cultivation Conference and witnessed it at the sixth-tier auction.

But even though he'd seen it, he certainly wouldn't admit that the treasure map was good.

Ultimately, the Xuan Niu Demon Saint and the Five-Colored Demon Saint were taken in by the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance, and were eventually released.

This is far more serious than the situation of those demon saints in the Celestial Insect Realm.

As soon as Ye Jingcheng said this, the joy on the Jade Toad Demon Saint's face vanished.

"Lord Qianchen, this is a treasure map of the Fengtian Sect, related to the Fengtian Secret Treasury!"

"I am not some newly trained disciple." Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

"However, with the treasures of the Fengtian Sect, the Qilin horn of the sixth-tier Lion-Lin Beast, and the clan beasts of several races, I can agree!" Ye Jingcheng then added.

"But I still want to make a deal with the Myriad Demon Alliance!"

Ye Jingcheng then mentioned the remaining sixth-tier spiritual materials and sixth-tier essence blood needed.

“My Ten Thousand Demons Alliance may not have this, but I will take it back and show it to our Alliance Leader!” said Jade Toad Demon Saint.

"Okay, sure!" Ye Jingcheng said, taking out a Thousand Moon Spirit Condensation Pill.

"If you have any, you can trade them with me for these spirit pills. There are three types of sixth-grade spirit pills: Heavenly Palace Pill, Spirit Condensation Pill, and Profound Clarity Armor Pill!"

Ye Jingcheng continued.

Of course, in fact, he only has one Thousand Moon Spirit Condensation Pill at the moment.

But he had all three kinds of elixirs and ingredients, and he was confident in that.

"Yes!" Jade Toad Demon Saint was overjoyed.

If there were any reservations before, it was that it had some reservations.

But after seeing these elixirs, it itself wanted to search for some spiritual herbs and blood.

It has already sensed the effects of this elixir, which has greatly benefited its cultivation.

After all, this isn't a fifth-tier item; although rare, it's still possible to find one.

There are only four people in the entire Ten Yuan Realm and Eleven Xuan Realm who know how to refine this sixth-tier spirit pill.

"Our alliance leader might have the essence blood of these sixth-tier flying ants, but we can't guarantee anything else!"
