Chapter 1425 - 1021: Mysterious Cultivator
The palace in front of Medicine King Mountain is nestled among peach trees, yet the bloom period of Cyan Moon Peaches has not yet arrived.Only red spots hang on the trees, emitting a glow of mingling green and red.
Though it doesn’t have the stunning beauty of a grove full of peach blossoms, nor the joyous abundance when Cyan Moon covers the trees, there’s still a sense of anticipation in it, worth the expectation of everyone.
In front of the palace, Ye Jingcheng escorted True Monarch Simurgh out, watching him depart.
True Monarch Simurgh wasn’t the first to arrive after True Monarch Qingchen.
The first to come was Fairy Linghong, followed by True Monarch Qingling.
True Monarch Simurgh even came after True Monarch Xueyun.
Although none brought gifts, merely sipped Spirit Tea and exchanged a few words.
But it clearly showcased the status of the Ye Family at this moment.
The Penglai Sect might still think the Ye Family destroyed True Monarch Qingxi and buried Celestial Water Sect by the hands of many sects and Nascent Souls.
But only those from the Medicine King Valley truly comprehend that it was the Ye Family alone that shattered the scheme single-handedly.
The Ye Family’s strength, now in their eyes, is no lesser than the established Nascent Soul sects, and the Ye Family has even greater potential.
The fact that the Ye Family doesn’t have a High Tier Pill Furnace and Medicine King Valley hosted a special auction for it speaks volumes.
Therefore, they visit Ye Jingcheng.
Moreover, if Ye Jingcheng possesses this Tier Five Pill Furnace and becomes a Tier Five Alchemist, there will be another place for them to seek medicines in the future.
Why has Medicine King Valley had such a good reputation before, maintaining favorable relations with other forces, letting the Cyan Spirit Trading Association flourish across the Eastern Domain?
It’s precisely because of this, True Monarch Bai Yao is secretly called the foremost Tier Five Alchemist by many.
Of course, after sending off a few guests, Ye Jingcheng also went to visit True Monarch Bailian’s palace, though he just had some Spirit Tea, it still expressed an attitude.
Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t truly believe that the Ye Family fears none.
Celestial Water Sect can unveil a Corpse Emperor, it’s quite normal for other sects to have some heritage, after all, these are sects with millennia of history, truly having nothing would be peculiar.
Besides, they specifically sold him a Tier Five Pill Furnace, which already counts as somewhat of a favor.
Afterwards, Ye Jingcheng visited Divine Medicine Market.
Divine Medicine Market is a newly established market, located beside Medicine King Mountain on Fuling Mountain.
Don’t underestimate this small peak, it holds two Tier Four Spirit Medicine Gardens, and is an extremely significant Spirit Medicine Garden for Medicine King Valley.
Because of Penglai’s targeted actions earlier, Medicine King Valley opened the market here to offer cultivators a place to exchange and find treasures.
Unfortunately, despite Medicine King Valley’s full support, it’s no longer as thriving as before, with fewer visitors.
Fortunately, there are indeed plenty of spirit medicines, and Ye Jingcheng managed to find many Advancement Pill Auxiliary Medicines he needed.
He even found the main material for Vermilion Disdain Pill again.
Now he only needs suitable Vermilion Ape Essence Blood to have Vermilion Ape advance once again.
Clearly, that’s a joyous matter.
Meanwhile, around the market, Ye Jingcheng found several Tier Four Spirit-Attracting Stones.
The Ye Family currently has a sizable territory and many Spirit Veins, but the Spirit Veins in large regions like Yuanling Oasis haven’t improved much; although some can refine Tier Four Spirit Gathering Arrays, Spirit-Attracting Stones need to be purchased.
As the Ye Family’s Golden Cores increase, the demand for Tier Four Spiritual Medicines and Elixirs also grows, naturally, the fundamental Tier Four Spiritual Veins mustn’t be lacking.
After making some purchases, Ye Jingcheng returned to his palace.
He started pondering which treasures to take out for exchange at the upcoming conference.
Ye Jingcheng has many precious treasures, along with several Tier Five Treasures, even a single Corpse Emperor, but among the Tier Five Treasures, only those obtained from True Monarch Qingxi and True Monarch Beixuan of Celestial Water Sect can be exchanged.
Among them, he quite likes Tower of Ten Thousand Swords, leaving only the Celestial Cold Cloud Shield obtained from True Monarch Beixuan and a standard Tier Five Primordial Stream Bowl for exchange.
Besides those, there’s the Tier Five Spirit Pill, but given the presence of Medicine King Valley, Ye Jingcheng shouldn’t expect any excellent results from his Tier Five Spirit Pill.
Aside from elixirs, Ye Jingcheng depends on a few Tier Five Spirit Materials and a Cyan Moon Peach promising a century of life extension; the rest are difficult to bring out for exchange.
This leaves Ye Jingcheng feeling a bit helpless; though he has surpassed Nascent Soul, his foundation seems somewhat lacking.
Otherwise, such a Tier Five Nascent Soul Trading Conference wouldn’t be so difficult.
Not to mention, many of these Tier Five Spirit Materials are intended for crafting Tier Five Lifebound Magical Treasure.
Ye Jingcheng shook his head, finally sighing.
At this moment, even though he has overcome several Nascent Souls and raided multiple mountain gates, he still feels somewhat impoverished.
As half a day passed, by the next morning, the purple haze spread, the peach blossoms seems larger amid the mountains.
Ye Jingcheng exited the palace, heading towards Medicine King Mountain.
This conference differs from an auction, being held inside True Monarch Bailian’s palace on Spirit Mountain.
Ye Jingcheng walked for a while, spotting True Monarch Simurgh and True Monarch Xueyun.
So he went along with them, reaching True Monarch Bailian’s Bailian Palace shortly.
The few entered a side hall, where numerous tables and chairs were already arranged, resembling a trading conference atmosphere.
The tables and chairs are not many, fewer than thirty sets, but on them are precious Tier Four Spirit Fruits and Spirit Wine.
It’s worth noting that one portion of Spirit Fruit and Spirit Wine surpasses the cost of Foundation Establishment Pill for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, clearly showcasing Medicine King Valley’s generosity and abundance.
"Daoist Bailian!" Ye Jingcheng and True Monarch Simurgh cupped their hands in greeting.
Since they arrived early, there were still only a few of them.
True Monarch Bailian also chatted amicably with the few.
Only then did Nascent Soul cultivators arrive.
But Ye Jingcheng was surprised to see that there aren’t many Nascent Souls from Medicine King Valley, just nine, five of whom wore monk robes, and five wearing golden robes.
The golden robes aren’t uniform, resembling a regional style instead.
"Ye Daoist, these fellow Daoists hail from the Western Domain. You haven’t visited there. Though the place is filled with deserts, it boasts abundant ore vein resources, countless treasure crystals, and strange metals. Ye Daoist, if you wish to find Tier Five Spirit Materials to refine your Tier Five Lifebound Magical Treasure, you’ll need to present some excellent treasures!" Fairy Linghong introduced Ye Jingcheng.
Only then did Ye Jingcheng understand.
Clearly, these Nascent Souls from the Western Domain also wish to exchange for treasures and Treasure Medicine from the Eastern Domain.
To Ye Jingcheng’s surprise, after this group arrived, a cultivator wearing a Spirit-Blocking Robe appeared.
This cultivator’s arrival made Ye Jingcheng’s brow furrow.
At this moment, hiding one’s identity implies it’s likely not someone from Medicine King Valley, nor from the Western Domain.
However, Ye Jingcheng wasn’t part of Medicine King Valley, and they didn’t speak out, so he naturally wouldn’t interfere.
Of course, he was still curious who would dare take such a risk.
"Who might this Daoist be?" True Monarch Bailian didn’t get angry but patiently asked.
"Daoist Bailian, isn’t this a trading conference? There’s no need to state names, I can exchange treasures here." The cultivator’s voice was clearly purposely controlled, and the Spirit-Blocking Robe worn was not ordinary.
"Ah, a Flying Puppet, then exchange away. But since you haven’t declared your identity, I can’t guarantee your safety. If your treasures are snatched away, it has nothing to do with me." True Monarch Bailian bluntly stated.
Since future conflicts might arise, he saw no reason to be polite.
