Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1648 Another Invitation, Across Spirit Stones

"A mid-grade sixth-tier spirit pill, a Three Jade Divine Essence Pill, in exchange for a spirit treasure that can be smuggled or a spirit treasure that can conceal one's aura!" At that moment, a voice transmission rang in everyone's minds.

At the same time, the spiritual image in the pavilion transformed into the shape of a Three Jade Divine Essence Pill.

Ye Jingcheng was familiar with this elixir, and he knew that it must have been taken out by either Yaozhen Divine Lord or Guming Divine Lord.

In the entire cultivation world, there are only four sixth-level alchemists, and only these four sixth-level alchemists can freely take out sixth-level spiritual pills to exchange.

Among sixth-order alchemists, those who have reached the middle grade of sixth-order are currently only him, Yaozhen Divine Lord, and Guming Divine Lord.

Of course, the most likely candidate is Yaozhen Shenjun.

However, it was impossible for Ye Jingcheng to make the change himself, and it was also rare for other forces to do so.

This scene is almost a microcosm of all Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Cloud Sand God and the Spirit Forging God almost always take out their life's treasures to exchange for spiritual treasures, ancient treasures, and special treasures that can be smuggled or have their aura concealed.

This made Ye Jingcheng seem somewhat different.

However, because Ye Jingcheng had hinted to others beforehand that he was not in a hurry to smuggle himself out, it actually made his previous statement more convincing.

The transaction proceeded smoothly, but unfortunately, none of the treasures offered were what Ye Jingcheng needed.

But this time, he had actually obtained quite a few spiritual herbs and materials, and even collected enough Stone Spirit Advancement Pills.

The most difficult-to-obtain stone in the Maha Ancient Seal has also been acquired this time.

Ye Jingcheng was naturally quite satisfied.

After the trade conference ended, Ye Jingcheng felt fairly satisfied.

Having learned more information and acquired many treasures, the next step is to refine the obtained elixirs and wait for Ye Qingfeng to break through before preparing to smuggle himself across the border.

Since Ye Qingnian stayed behind, he naturally wanted to bring his daughter and wife with him on this smuggling trip.

Besides Ye Qingfeng, he also plans to include Ye Yunsheng and Ye Tengming among his descendants.

Since Ye Yunsheng can't be the head of the family, he can be a manager in the Spirit Realm. Besides, the Spirit Realm might need Ye Yunsheng to expand its influence.

As for the other descendants, there were too many of them, and none of them were particularly outstanding, so he left it to Ye Qingnian to arrange, trusting that the latter could do a good job.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen..." Just as Ye Jingcheng was about to step out of the pavilion, three figures emerged from within, without being teleported.

These three were none other than Yaozhen Shenjun and the others whom they had met once before.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, is there any room for negotiation regarding your words from that day...?"

"I'm truly sorry, but I have no intention of illegally crossing the border in the short term," Ye Jingcheng refused again.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, do you really think that those soul slips that weren't broken are all safe?" Divine Lord Yaozhen asked again.

These words surprised Ye Jingcheng somewhat.

"how do I say this?"

When Yaozhen Shenjun saw Ye Jingcheng's surprised expression, a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"Literally speaking, this smuggling is not that simple!" After saying this, Yaozhen Divine Lord also cupped his hands, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

Ye Jingcheng hadn't expected that Yaozhen Shenjun knew quite a lot; it was just that the other party was keeping him in suspense, but he had chosen the wrong person.

If Ye Jingcheng didn't want to expose the Ye family's affairs, why would he have acted with the other party?

"Fellow Daoist Yaozhen..." Ye Jingcheng spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, once you've made up your mind, you can come find me." Yaozhen Divine Lord interrupted Ye Jingcheng's words and landed in a nearby pavilion, teleporting away.

They actually left right away.

Also departing were the Ancient God Lord Ming and the Great God Lord Taiqian.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen, it's not that all smuggling can go undetected," Taiqian Divine Lord reminded Ye Jingcheng, feigning goodwill.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the remaining teleportation light and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Of course, at this moment he did not have the confidence he had before.

He knew about the spatial node left by the Ye family back then, so smuggling across the border would definitely not be a problem.

But as Taiqian Divine Lord said, it's uncertain whether the Jade Soul Clan will be able to detect this smuggled spatial node when it arrives in the Spirit Realm.

Of course, he was confident that if the Ye family hadn't chosen the right spatial node back then, then the Medicine Master and his companions would have been even less able to do it.

However, the soul tablet of the Divine Lord Zhengyuan could not truly give him enough confidence.

Ye Jingcheng thought of the purple jade aura he had left behind. He could use the Simulated Yuan Pill to simulate the latter's aura.

But this aura carries a great risk.

After all, those three members of the Purple Jade Soul Clan either came to the mortal realm or had already perished.

If discovered by the core members of the Jade Soul Clan, their secret would be exposed instantly.

It would be safest to capture a sixth-tier Jade Soul Clan member, simulate their aura, and then break out of the Tianxuan Spirit Realm and even the Spirit Realm Dust Continent.

……

In the streets and alleys of Sanyuan City, three figures dressed in spirit-sealing robes walked side by side.

"Senior Brother Yaozhen, Ye Jingcheng's lifespan is indeed too long. I estimate he won't consider smuggling himself out anytime soon..." It was Gu Ming Shenjun who spoke.

They could all see that although Ye Jingcheng was curious, he didn't chase after them at this moment, which was enough to make it clear that Ye Jingcheng really didn't have much interest in smuggling himself out.

"Whether we come or not, we've already done our best. The three of us can sneak into the Spirit Realm and establish a sect without much trouble." Yaozhen Divine Lord knew in his heart that Ye Jingcheng truly had no interest in sneaking in.

For a mid-grade sixth-level alchemist, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm is not difficult.

After all, the mortal realm has the immortal realm. Although sixth-grade spiritual herbs are hard to find, they can still be found with some time. And the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ye family are not weak.

"Before we smuggle ourselves out, let's pass that message on to the Ye family. It'll be a good deed. If the Ye family really becomes the Fengtian Sect in the mortal realm in the future, they might treat our descendants well out of respect for this good deed." After saying this, Yaozhen Divine Lord left Sanyuan City.

Although the Transformation Ceremony only begins today.

In fact, the Nascent Soul cultivators already had their own small circles and had participated in many small trading meetings.

This largest trade fair served as a conclusion, but they weren't very interested in the sixth-tier auction.

That auction was just a gimmick; it could only attract some top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators and some newly awakened Divine Transformation cultivators who hadn't accumulated much experience.

Upon hearing this, Taiqian Divine Lord and Guming Divine Lord nodded and said nothing more.

……

With the conclusion of the Nascent Soul cultivators' trade fair, the sixth-tier auction officially began.

Ye Qingnian, looking at Ye Xingliu in the center of the stage in the auction hall, felt much more at ease.

Auctioneers at small, low-level auctions often select beautiful female cultivators with good figures, but at high-level auctions, appearance is not the way to attract cultivators; professionalism and maturity are the key factors.

Ye Xingliu is Ye Jingyu's father and was once the head of the family, so he can easily take on the role.

And just as he had predicted, the auction was incredibly popular.

This made Ye Qingnian and Ye Qingfu, who was standing next to him, breathe a sigh of relief.

Furthermore, they discovered that there were quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the sixth-floor private rooms of the auction.

Lords such as Lingduan, Yunsha, and Ziyang have already arrived.

This undoubtedly made the auction even more popular.

"Sooner or later we will be able to do it too, even without relying on our father, we can get so many Nascent Soul cultivators to participate in our auction!" Ye Qingnian knew very well that these people came because of his father, so he made up his mind.

Ye Qingfu, standing to the side, was equally spirited.

None of the Ye family members who truly become the core pillars are short-sighted. Although Ye Jingcheng stands like a mountain in front of everyone in the Ye family, sheltering them from the wind and rain, he also overshadows much of the brilliance of the rest of the Ye family.

But no one will be discouraged or disheartened because of this!

"Has the family list been released yet?" At that moment, Ye Jingcheng walked in from the side.

"Father, because most of the clansmen plan to support the Ye family after you leave, my list is still not full..." Ye Qingnian was somewhat surprised to see Ye Jingcheng come in, but after hearing what Ye Jingcheng said, he answered repeatedly.

At that moment, he didn't know whether to feel gratified or helpless.

After all, most of the core members of the Ye family did not have the idea of ​​going to the spirit world to enjoy themselves, but planned to stay in the mortal world to make up for the days when Ye Jingcheng was not around.

To solidify the Ye family's current position in the cultivation world.

However, this must be taken into account that the Ye family also needs to develop in the spirit world.

With fewer people going, cultivators like Ye Jingcheng who have reached the Nascent Soul stage will waste a lot of time searching for spiritual herbs, and the development of their families will stagnate for a long time.

However, the mortal realm cannot provide enough cultivation resources for so many top-tier cultivators!

"Father, in my opinion, we should send Ye family meritors who are struggling to break through in the mortal realm, such as Ancestor Cang, Aunt Jingyu, and Uncle Jingli, to the Spirit Realm. Secondly, we should bring along enough geniuses and ensure that each lineage has someone to guide them..."

"You can make the arrangements. If there's anything I need to discuss, just let me know." Ye Jingcheng knew that although Ye Qingnian had been the head of the family for so many years, some of the elders might not listen to him when he spoke to them.

However, Ye Jingcheng believes he still has some persuasive power.

At the same time, he also told Ye Qingnian about his idea of ​​bringing Ye Yunsheng and Ye Tengming up with him.

“Father, they are also on my list, and I have already persuaded them.” Ye Qingnian nodded repeatedly.

Ye Jingcheng smiled knowingly upon seeing this.

The group watched the auction outside together.

The rising and falling bids, like ocean waves, gradually pushed the atmosphere of Sanyuan City to its peak.

The final, most coveted item fetched an astronomical price.

Even after the event ended, it was still talked about with great interest.

Ye Jingcheng also saw off each of the Nascent Soul cultivators.

Only after the crimson sunset had completely disappeared did Ye Jingcheng finally have some free time.

He landed on the top floor of Ye Yuan Restaurant, feeling the mountain breeze and the distant lights twinkling in the distance, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

This is a grand and bustling occasion belonging to the Ye family.

It is also the result of the Ye family's efforts over thousands of years.

The stars in the distance began to appear, some very bright, some slightly dim.

This made Ye Jingcheng's eyes deepen as well.

"Father, there's an unusual phenomenon at Uncle Haicheng's place!" At that moment, Ye Qingnian's joyful words rang out, revealing that Ye Haicheng was about to break through.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng's resolve hardened.

The worry in his eyes vanished instantly.

After all, the Tianxuan Ye family had considered the inheritance of the eight Heavenly Generals, but did not hide the matter of the spatial node in the inheritance of the Heavenly Generals, which shows that the matter of the spatial node is not a big problem.

Otherwise, there would be no point in Mu Huayuan, the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor, descending to the mortal realm.

Moreover, at this moment, besides the ancestors of the Xinye family, can he find any new spatial nodes?

the answer is negative.

As Ye Jingcheng spoke, he also headed towards the teleportation array.

……

Sanyuan City, at the city gate.

A teleportation array in the distance lit up, and the next moment, several cultivators appeared within it.

One of them was wearing the Taoist robe from the Ye family's Lingyun Peak days, and his face showed some excitement.

All they could see were cultivators heading out of the distant city.

"Did I miss it again?" This person was none other than Ye Jingli, who had traveled before.

Knowing that he would have difficulty breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, he began to travel to other realms.

His travels lasted for hundreds of years.

Over the years, his cultivation has improved considerably, and he is now at the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Of course, there is still a considerable distance to go before reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, his lifespan is not much longer; he is already nearly eight hundred years old, while the lifespan of a Golden Core cultivator is one thousand years.

He had consumed spirit peaches in his early years, but they didn't increase his strength much, so he had resigned himself to his fate.

He had obtained a treasure during his trip back to Ye Family Sanyuan City, and was rushing back in time.

"Sixth Brother!" At that moment, a cultivator suddenly appeared in the distance.

It was Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingli wasn't frightened by Ye Jingcheng's appearance, but many other cultivators were.

This is a regular teleportation array, and there happen to be quite a few Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators here.

But to them, a Golden Core cultivator was already a senior, let alone Ye Jingcheng, who was a legendary figure in the entire cultivation world.

"Greetings, Senior Qianchen!"

"Greetings, Senior Qianchen!"

……

Amidst the rising and falling greetings, Ye Jingcheng simply cupped his hands in greeting.

He was also quite surprised by Ye Jingli's return, after all, he had just discussed this matter with Ye Qingnian not long ago.

Ye Jingli is definitely a great contributor to the Ye family.

Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is difficult in the mortal realm, but entering the spirit realm is definitely not a problem.

This time, the Ye family didn't have many slots to enter the Spirit Realm, but it was impossible to send all the geniuses there.

Therefore, there are still quite a few spots available.

"Sixth Brother, let's go back to the Sand Sea first!" Ye Jingcheng could tell that Ye Jingli had something to say, so he took the latter to another teleportation array.

This is the Ye family's private teleportation array.

"Jingcheng, I've found the Spirit Transcending Stone!" Ye Jingli exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was also extremely surprised.

This spirit stone is a top-grade fifth-order spirit ore, and it is exceptionally special, serving as the core material for refining the spirit bell.

This Cross-Spirit Bell is a treasure that the Sky-Splitting Earthworm found within a spatial node, enabling cross-dimensional communication.

For the Ye family, this could very well be a treasure that allows them to connect the spirit world with the mortal world.

Previously, we had not been able to find this spiritual material, but we did not expect Ye Jingli to find it.

"I found this in a legacy cave. The sect that cultivator belonged to was once a Nascent Soul sect, but it declined. It's a pity that all they have left are these spirit stones!"
