Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 793: The Great Elder Xiaoshan Market (Three-in-one monthly ticket request)
On Shahuang Mountain, under an abandoned mine on the top of the mountain, is the location of the Tianshamen teleportation array.

In the past, this was a second-level sand shadow stone mine, and also the most important mine in Tianshamen.

At the peak, the defending monks were all Purple Mansion monks, and the formation they set up was also of the fourth level.

But later, the Tiansha Sect declined, the Purple Mansion gradually disappeared, and the fourth-level formations were destroyed one by one.

Later, there were no qualified array masters, and even moving the teleportation array was a luxury. Now that the mineral veins have been exhausted, they have not been able to successfully use the teleportation array to reach the holy land of their Tianshamen.

When Xiao Congrong arrived with a Tianshamen disciple, he saw that there were two more people on the teleportation array.

"Senior, are you from Tianshamen?" Xiao Congrong asked.

"No, but I have inherited the Tianshamen heritage, so I can be considered half a Tianshamen person!" Ye Jingcheng spoke directly.

He did want to fabricate his identity at the beginning, so that the Ye family would be like the Qingyun Sea Region and support the Zimu Sect.

But it turned out that the Zimu Sect was too prone to problems and was also unstable.

The Qingyun Sea can do this because the Qingyun Sea is already very chaotic and the Ye family does not have much cost.

But if the Central Region can develop stably, it will naturally be better for the Ye family.

In this way, even if someone asks about the talisman in the future, there won't be too many problems.

Coincidentally, his spiritual sense sensed that the Tiansha Sect in front of him had actually declined into a second-tier force, and that someone had even come to attack them, which made him even more certain.

"Senior..." There was still some disappointment in Xiao Congrong's eyes. After all, the Tiansha Sect outside was facing the disaster of extinction.

"I am also half a member of Tianshamen, I will not sit idly by and watch this matter!" Without waiting for Xiao Congrong to speak, Ye Jingcheng directly flew up and flew outside.

It’s not that Ye Jingcheng has no patience, but if he were a little slower, most of the Tianshamen monks might have died.

At the same time, Ye Jingcheng waved his sleeves, and he, Xiao Congrong, and the Qi-training disciple circled into the air. In the blink of an eye, they were already a hundred feet high, overlooking everything outside.

Around them, Huang Tieyun and other members of the Tianshamen were also in the sky, making their final desperate resistance.

Seeing that the formation was about to break, Huang Tieyun's eyes turned red, as if they were about to shed tears of blood.

His face was extremely ferocious. He took out a talisman in his hand, ready to die together with those people from the Tianjian Sect.

At this moment, a golden sword flew out.

The blazing golden light was so intense that it looked like a setting sun.

It makes people unable to open their eyes.

"Jindan Zhenren, how could you Tianshamen..."

The people on the periphery are now gathering several giant swords and fighting vigorously. They are about to break the formation and obtain all kinds of treasures at their fingertips.

They knew clearly that Tianshamen was still a Nascent Soul force thousands of years ago.

Even if they have declined, there must still be a lot.

"Which idiot investigated this information!" The eldest senior brother of Tianjian Sect who was in the lead couldn't help cursing in his heart.

"Senior, misunderstanding..."

But before they could explain, wherever the Jinli Sword passed, the sword light was extremely violent, and all the spiritual shields and magical weapons were transformed into phantoms of spiritual light and dissipated with the wind.

A few "puff" sounds were heard breaking through the air!
The golden light soon dissipated, and the Jinli Sword flew back into the sky and fell into Ye Jingcheng's hand, turning into an ordinary golden sword the size of a palm.

And Ye Jingcheng's figure, at this moment, looked like a god, tall and mighty!

As for the void where those Tianjian Sect monks were before, there were only thirty or so corpses left, and more than forty storage bags slowly falling from the sky.

Ye Jingcheng naturally would not explain to these people, and he also heard their voices and knew that the Tianjian Sect was a subordinate force of the Xuantian Demon Sect, one of the two major demon sects.

There is no need to explain it.

"Ancestor, this..." Huang Tieyun was also stunned at this moment.

Of course, there were tears streaming down my face for a while.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, their Tianshamen still had a Jindan ancestor who saved Tianshamen from danger. How could they not be excited?

After all, he had already made up his mind to perish together with his foe.

"Senior Brother Huang, this senior has only inherited the legacy of our Tianshamen..." Xiao Congyun added from the side.

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Tieyun suddenly felt embarrassed.

He glared at Xiao Congrong fiercely.

Now at this time, the person who comes from the Tianshamen Holy Land must be the ancestor, otherwise, as the cultivators of the Tianjianmen said, they will not be able to defend the sacred mountain of Shahuang Mountain.

Don't underestimate the Zhengdao Sect, which prevents the various forces in Nanhuangzhou from fighting each other.

But Nanhuang Province is close to Nanman Province controlled by Xuantian Demon Sect. There are countless forces here, and they are colluding with the other side. If the forces over there keep coming to take advantage of them, they, Tiansha Sect, will have to leave as well.

Once they left Shahuang Mountain, with their strength in foundation building, the Tiansha Sect would naturally disappear into thin air.

It was impossible for them to find a suitable sacred mountain elsewhere.

"Do you have a sect, senior?" However, since Xiao Congrong said so, Huang Tieyun couldn't continue to call him ancestor.

After all, he is now the nominal grand elder of Tianshamen, and he cannot be too cheap.

"I don't have a sect. I also inherited the Tiansha Sect and have practiced till now. There are too limited spiritual objects in the sand sea. I have read some secret books. This place belongs to the holy land of Dayu's immortal cultivation world..." Ye Jingcheng said simply.

He also took out Tianshamon's token.

See Ye Jingcheng take out the token.

Huang Tieyun was overjoyed at this moment. He could tell at a glance that Ye Jingcheng was not very old, but a complete genius.

He even imagined in his mind the grand scene in the future where Ye Jingcheng would break through the Nascent Soul stage, Tianshamen would return to its peak, and control several prefectures.

This is the greatest fortune that Tianshamen has had in thousands of years!

“Senior, since you have the elder order of our Tianshamen, no matter you join or not, you are the lifelong supreme elder of our Tianshamen. You can use the spiritual land of Tianshamen at will, and you can exchange the treasure house of Tianshamen at will. All disciples of Tianshamen must respectfully call you elder…” Huang Tieyun said one by one.

After saying so many advantages, if Ye Jingcheng was a rookie, he would be easily fooled by Tianshamen.

After all, the many benefits Huang Tieyun mentioned did not include any requirement on whether Ye Jingcheng should stay in Tianshamen.

But in fact, the Tiansha Sect has now declined. There are only a few sacred mountains left, and there are only more than 300 monks in the sect. Although this number of monks is not a small number.

But this is a sect, not a family. It is normal for an ordinary foundation-building family to have several hundred people.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng still likes the identity of Tianshamen very much.

Instead of using countless lies to fabricate a reasonable identity, it is better to join Tianshamen.

The Ye family can control Tianshamen at will. The most important thing is that once the Ye family members infiltrate one by one, Tianshamen can become the second controlled sect of the Ye family.

Moreover, Tianshamen’s philosophy, revival, and its once grand background can completely pave the way for the rise of the Ye family.

After all, it is normal for a Nascent Soul sect to take less time to rise again after it has declined.

Of course, in the eyes of the cultivators of Tianshamen, the Ye family is still fellow disciples of the holy land, which makes sense.

"I really have nowhere to go. Tianshamen has been kind to me, and Elder Huang is so enthusiastic. If I don't agree, it would be a bit inhumane of me!" Ye Jingcheng bowed repeatedly.

Hearing this, Huang Tieyun became extremely excited.

"May I ask your respectful name, Senior?"

"My Taoist name is Qianchen." Ye Jingcheng did not deliberately conceal his identity this time.

After all, this is the territory controlled by the righteous sect. Without the cultivators from the Penglai Demon Sect, there is naturally no chance of anything being exposed.

On the contrary, if he kept choosing the wrong names, he would be worried about being investigated by the monks of the righteous sect.

As for his appearance, he also changed slightly.

Even if it was a cultivator from the Eastern Region, unless they were particularly familiar with him, they probably wouldn't be able to recognize him if he stood in front of him.

"From today on, Elder Qianchen will be our Supreme Elder!"

"Grand Elder, let's hold your inauguration ceremony ten years later. This way, we at Tianshamen will have time to invite fellow practitioners. By then, maybe we can even have people from the Immortal Sect come to comment and congratulate us!"

After hearing this, Huang Tieyun felt a little uneasy.

Ten years is definitely not a long time, but it is not short either.

There is actually some selfish motive hidden in this.

That's why he was uneasy.

He was a little afraid that Ye Jingcheng would go out and travel. After all, many cultivators who became supreme elders liked to travel.

The Central Region is so big. If Ye Jingcheng doesn’t come back after traveling, the Tianshamen will have no place to cry, and they can’t do anything about it.

On the contrary, if Ye Jingcheng could stay in Tianshamen for ten years, other forces would know that Tianshamen has such a Jindan Zhenren. At that time, even if Ye Jingcheng left, those hostile forces would have to think twice before doing anything bad to Tianshamen.

Of course, it’s not that he tends to think too much, but he really can’t imagine that a Jindan Zhenren, after learning about the situation of Tianshamen, would actually pay some attention to Tianshamen.

"Okay!" Ye Jingcheng nodded and agreed.

It just made him feel a little weird. He didn't hold the Golden Core Ceremony in the East Region or the Sand Sea, but it seemed like the Shamen held it on this day...

"Junior Brother Xiao, why don't you take the Grand Elder to choose a cave? Also, let the Grand Elder review the sect rules to see if there are any areas that need improvement. Our sect rules are too old and must have many rotten parts!" Huang Tieyun spoke again and again.

After saying that, he bowed to Ye Jingcheng.

The clear meaning was to allow Ye Jingcheng to modify the sect rules at will.

But Ye Jingcheng knew in his heart that this was just a polite remark.

It allows him to revise it and also lets him know about it.

Of course, he really likes this way of expression.

"Who is this elder?" After giving the order, Huang Tieyun looked at Ye Haiyan again.

Ye Jingcheng asked Ye Haisheng to stay this time. After all, Ye Haisheng was a formation master. If there was any problem with the formation here, he could rest and repair it.

They hadn't noticed it just now, but now they knew clearly that Ye Haiyan also had the cultivation level of Purple Mansion.

"This is my grandfather!" Ye Jingcheng spoke directly.

"His name is Ye Yan!" Ye Jingcheng introduced him without mentioning his generation name.

"Then from today on, Ye Yan will be the second supreme elder of our Tianshamen!" Huang Tieyun also spoke directly.

At this moment, he was really happy.

Because Tianshamen no longer had any treasures left, he was not afraid of being coveted by others.

Now the higher the combat power, the better, so that you can obtain more resources and retain more people.

"Junior Brother Xiao, you must also make arrangements for the Second Supreme Elder. Don't be negligent!" Huang Tieyun spoke repeatedly.

Xiao Congrong was still a little dizzy at the moment. To be honest, the situation changed too quickly.

But when he calmed down, he found that this brought too many benefits to Tianshamen.

He then took Ye Jingcheng and the other person with him and headed towards the top of Shahuang Mountain.

That is where the spiritual veins are most concentrated.

"Senior Brother Huang!" The remaining Huangsha Sect's foundation-building elders also asked at this moment.

"From today on, all of us who are foundation-building cultivators are acting elders. After all, there is no way that the elders of the Jindan forces are foundation-building cultivators!" Huang Tieyun explained repeatedly.

Seeing that they still didn't understand, Huang Tieyun also shouted: "You all should behave better. Whoever can worship the Grand Elder as his master will be the next leader of Tianshamen!"

The other foundation-building elders finally understood some of Huang Tieyun’s intentions.

Obviously, he also knew that a cultivator like Ye Jingcheng might not be able to stay in Tianshamen for too long, so he had to take advantage of the fact that he still had some gratitude towards Tianshamen and develop him as much as possible.

"Brother Huang, these corpses..."

"Brother Huang Fei, you take the storage bags to the Grand Elder. No, I'll take these storage bags!"

"Take these heads and their identities to the Zhengdao Sect and make a record. Although there are not many contribution points, if the Supreme Elder needs them, you can exchange them for some treasures!" Huang Tieyun ordered repeatedly.

"By the way, ask Junior Brother Cheng to raise the training ground for core disciples, and double the daily training tasks for the sect's core disciples!" Huang Tieyun hesitated for a moment and added!

Each of these foundation-building monks is quite old, and the possibility of them being accepted as disciples is very small. Young monks and their followers are the ones that the senior masters like most to accept as disciples.

……

Shahuang Mountain was not always pointed. At the top, it looked as if someone had cut it with a sword, leaving a large flat top.

There are several attics in the center of the flat roof.

These attics usually contain talismans, and are apparently used as places for monks to retreat and break through.

Places like this are where the spiritual energy is the richest.

And at this moment, naturally, Xiao Congrong also brought the two here.

"Two elders, this is the place with the best spiritual energy in Shahuang Mountain!"

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haiyan had no change in expression, Xiao Congrong added:

"In fact, the spiritual vein of Tianshamen used to be a full fifth-level spiritual mountain. But unfortunately, something changed. The top of the mountain was cut off by the enemy, and most of the spiritual veins were also cut off. Only this third-level spiritual mountain is left!"

"This spiritual vein is quite good!" Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.

Naturally, he wouldn't dislike it. After all, it was the place with the richest spiritual energy in Shahuang Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao..."

"If the Supreme Elder calls me, I will go calmly. Otherwise, I will be terrified!" Xiao Congrong bowed his head repeatedly.

"Congrong, I need some jade slips to understand the immortal cultivation world here, such as the nearby markets, the layout and division of the immortal gates in the Central Region, and some taboos!" Ye Jingcheng also spoke directly.

To be honest, he wanted to go to Tianshamen's treasure house.

"Don't worry, Elder. I'll have someone send it over!" Xiao Congrong also nodded repeatedly.

Ye Jingcheng nodded when he heard this. He estimated that the jade slips and other things in the treasure house had all been taken away because of the enemy invasion.

So I just wait here.

After a while, a monk came over.

After Ye Jingcheng read it, he and Ye Haiyan looked at each other.

"Uncle, we made the right decision this time!" Ye Jingcheng also gave the jade slip to Ye Haiyan.

According to Tianshamen’s information, the entire Central Region is divided into fifty states and hundreds of mansions.

Take the Nanhuang Province where they are located, for example, there are eleven mansions.

The mansion here is equivalent to several counties in the Eastern Region.

This is enough to show how vast this Central Region is.

No wonder there are nine super powers at the level of God Transformation.

The demon sects in the Central Region are the Penglai Demon Sect and the Xuantian Demon Sect.

One of the two families occupies the Eastern Region, and the other occupies the Southern Region, but the only difference between the Eastern Region and the Central Region is that they are separated by countless mountains and the Tianyao Mountains.

The Southern Region and the Central Region are not far apart.

Therefore, Xuantian Sect gradually controlled the three states in the southern part of the Central Region.

They are also called Nanxuanzhou, Nantianzhou, and Nanmanzhou respectively.

Among them, Nanman Province borders Nanhuang Province and Nanyu Province controlled by Zhengdao Sect.

There are often attacks and invasions between subordinate forces.

Of course, there were not many battles between Xuantian Sect and Zhengdao Sect. Apparently, when it came to the power of Huashen, everyone was more restrained.

Among the three major immortal sects, in addition to the Zhengdao Sect, there are also the Ziyang Immortal Sect and the Baiqiao Valley.

The three major immortal families are the Wang family, the Ouyang family, and the Zhao family.

The last Buddhist temple is the Jinguang Temple.

But for the Ye family, there is really no need to care so much.

After all, the Xiaoshan Prefecture here is equivalent to half the size of the Yan State, and there are eleven such prefectures in Nanhuangzhou.

In the entire Southern Wilderness Province, there are four Nascent Soul forces and more than a dozen Golden Core forces.

This is the holy land for cultivating immortals.

The most crucial thing is that the Zhengdao Sect prohibits its subordinate forces from attacking each other.

The biggest struggle among the immortal cultivation forces in Southern Wilderness Province is against the forces of the Xuantian Demon Sect.

The besieging force this time was none other than the Tianjian Sect of Shanqing Prefecture in Nanman Province.

Apart from fighting, Ye Jingcheng was more concerned about the market and trade fair.

He is now in the early stage of Jindan, so naturally he wants to participate in the Jindan trade fair and at least the fourth-level auction.

After becoming familiar with the people, you will eventually open a shop in the market.

In this way, the Ye family’s treasures can also be sold in the future.

After checking several jade slips, Ye Jingcheng also learned that the largest market in Xiaoshan Prefecture was Xiaoshan Market.

This is a market town controlled by the Xuan Kui Sect, a Nascent Soul force. There is a fourth-level trade fair every ten years, and every hundred years, there is even a fifth-level auction and a Nascent Soul trade fair.

Naturally, Ye Jingcheng was also interested in Xiaoshan Market.

As for the entire Southern Wilderness Province and even the larger auctions in the Central Region, Tianshamen didn’t know much about them.

After all, they are now just a foundation-building force.

Although there are many foundation-building cultivators, there are still too few who can be found out.

What surprised Ye Jingcheng was that although Tianshamen was not a big force, there were indeed many rare treasures in its treasury.

The monks among the ascetics these days are also very wise.

As soon as Ye Jingcheng came, he was given one million contribution points and was allowed to choose any of these spiritual objects.

Of course, it does not mean that the Supreme Elder receives an annual salary of one million, but rather an annual salary of thirty thousand.

This million was advanced for thirty-three years.

At the same time, according to the sect rules sent by Huang Tieyun, once Tianshamen’s income increases, the salary of the supreme elder will be increased.

Ye Jingcheng also knew that this was also a hint that Ye Jingcheng should help Tianshamen gain more territory and voice.

"Huang Tieyun really has a good vision!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but admire at this moment.

Putting himself in their shoes, he found that he really couldn't do it so perfectly.

After reading it, Ye Haiyan also agreed strongly.

"Jingcheng, the next goal of the family is to help Tianshamen acquire a shop in Xiaoshan Market!"

The Central Region is different from the Qingyun Sea Region. There is no need for the Ye family to take risks. On the contrary, expanding the business here is what the Ye family wants to see most.

Since forces cannot attack each other, it means that the Ye family’s business is much less likely to be maliciously suppressed.

What is being competed in this way is the four arts of cultivation of each force.

At the same time, due to the geographical location of Nanhuangzhou and Nanmanzhou, the shortage of magical weapons and elixirs in the market must be extremely high, so the future of the Ye family is still promising.

Ye Jingcheng nodded when he heard this, but he picked up a new jade slip:

“There are many small worlds and secret realms leading to this Central Region!”

"Moreover, it can actually lead to other great worlds of immortal cultivation!"

"Each state capital has a teleportation array leading to other state capitals..."

Most of the things described in this jade slip are not available in the Eastern Region. For example, a teleportation array with extremely high circulation is impossible to see in the Eastern Region. All of them are placed in the sect’s territory as treasures.

Moreover, there are many famous forbidden adventure worlds and some famous open secret realms in the Central Region.

There are even space passages leading to other immortal cultivation worlds, but it is said that they are guarded by the three major immortal sects and the three major immortal families.

"It requires spirit stones to enter, which is actually a good idea!" Ye Jingcheng saw that several secret realms advertised that one thousand spirit stones were required for one entry and exit.

I couldn't help but feel a little envious.

These secret realms that boast high prices probably contain the same tests as those of the immortal sects.

And the treasures inside will ensure that a few will make huge profits, a medium number will suffer small losses, and a few will suffer huge losses.

This is just like the inheritance cave in the world of immortal cultivation. Many people know it is a scam, but they still can't help themselves.

"For our Ye family, the only bad thing is that Nanhuang Province is far away from Tianyao Mountains and Beihan Desert of Beihan Province!" Ye Haiyan couldn't help but speak up.

The Central Region is not like the Eastern Region, where there are many mountains with monsters. But there are only a few places in the Central Region. Because many cultivators go in for adventure, they don’t worry about the monsters starving.

And because the cultivators have killed many monsters, there is no need to worry about too many monsters and a beast tide.

According to the records on the jade slip, there are also demon saints in the Tianyao Mountains, and there seem to be quite a few of them.

Ye Jingcheng took a look and found that there was no Fox Saint. He also became uncertain as to whether the Tianyao Mountains and Taihang Mountains were connected.

"Uncle, after some time, you may need to rearrange the formation here!" Ye Jingcheng spoke after reading the jade slip.

After all, this is where the two of them will stay in the future.

A third-order, inferior-grade mountain protection formation is too insecure.

Naturally, Ye Haiyan set up a higher mountain protection formation.

At the same time, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haiyan also had to control the teleportation array.

"Of course no problem!" Ye Haiyan nodded.

The reason why he hasn't made any arrangements now is that he has been here for too short a time.

If we arrange it now, it will seem deliberate.

After some time, when we are more familiar with the place, we can arrange it better.

"Jingcheng, I think it would be safer for you to accept one or two more disciples after some time!" Ye Haiyan spoke again.

When Ye Jingcheng heard this, he also nodded.

It is very normal to accept disciples. After all, it is a sect, and Ye Jingcheng just happens to use the inheritance of Tianshamen to teach!
