Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Chapter 291: The Assembly Begins (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Today, Chu Yanqing did not come alone; behind her were two young cultivators and a middle-aged cultivator.

Ye Jingcheng recognized all of them. The two young ones were Chu Yanxuan, a well-known genius of the Chu family, and Chu Yanhao, both quite famous in Taihang Prefecture. Besides them, the middle-aged cultivator was Chu Xicheng, who was also in charge of the Chu family in the Taihang Trading Market before.

They were also sizing up Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu at the moment.

However, the main focus was on Ye Jingcheng. After all, Ye Jingcheng was not only a spiritual body but also a Foundation Establishment中期 cultivator now. In terms of cultivation, he was already on par with Ye Xingliu, the head of the Ye family.

Moreover, barring any accidents, the next head of the Ye family would also be Ye Jingcheng.

“Fairy Chu misunderstands. I am here with my fourth brother today.” Ye Jingcheng smiled and nodded to everyone as a greeting, then looked at Chu Yanqing with a helpless smile.

Of course, he knew that Chu Yanqing had been looking for him these days, wanting to join hands with the Ye family to explore the secret realm.

But for Ye Jingcheng, he would not join hands with any family this time. In fact, it would be best if everyone forgot about the Ye family.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, would you like to go in together now?” Chu Yanqing did not dwell on it too much and took the initiative to ask.

“Of course.” Ye Jingcheng nodded. After all, the two families were related by marriage and had previously joined hands to open shops.

Ye Jingcheng would naturally not be too unfeeling.

The group of six entered the Taixiang Tower together.

Inside the building, there were female cultivators specially guiding them. These female cultivators were all well-behaved and simply dressed, seemingly all from the Zhong family, with cultivation levels ranging from the middle to late stages of Qi training.

At the entrance, they were stopped by two female cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training, who asked them to show their jade token invitations.

Everyone took out their corresponding jade token invitations.

Ye Jingcheng had inquired about these jade token invitations. In addition to requiring the identity of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, one also needed to pay three hundred spiritual stones.

However, the Ye family did not pay these spiritual stones; they were all given by his eldest brother, Jin Yutang, and even Chu Yanqing.

Upon entering the main hall, there was a mahogany corridor. These mahogany corridors were carved with many delicate murals, depicting many cultivators from the Taiyi Sect. Finally, there was a large hall.

Inside the hall, there were four rows of seats, with nearly two hundred chairs placed.

On the Eight Immortals table at the head, there was also a large incense burner. Inside the burner, clear and faint sandalwood smoke was burning, giving people a refreshing fragrance upon smelling it, and even making them feel clearer in their minds.

“What a grand gesture.” As an alchemist, Ye Jingcheng naturally recognized this sandalwood. This was the Azure Heaven Jade Sandalwood produced by Azure Heaven Valley in Taichang Prefecture.

It was a second-tier low-grade sandalwood, said to have the effect of refreshing the mind and enlightening the Dao.

Of course, the former was true, and it was useful even to second-tier alchemists, while the latter depended on chance.

At least Ye Jingcheng had rarely heard of anyone comprehending the Dao under the Azure Heaven Jade Sandalwood.

At this moment, most of the cultivators were already seated in the hall. Ye Jingcheng also walked directly towards the back. Seeing this, Chu Yanqing hesitated for a moment, but after hesitating for a while, she walked towards Ye Jingcheng and sat down next to him.

“Fellow Daoist Chu doesn’t need to accommodate us.” Ye Jingcheng said.

He glanced at the cultivator in charge this time, who was a cultivator from the Taiyi Zifeng Peak. For the Chu family, it happened to be the peak they were offering tribute to and relying on.

Not to mention that Chu Yanqing’s aunt was married to Superior Mingyuan.

“Fellow Daoist Ye is joking. In this Taichang Trading Market, how could it be our Chu family’s turn?” Chu Yanqing also said.

Ye Jingcheng did not reply, but simply nodded as a simple response.

His gaze fell on a square-faced cultivator next to him, who was staring at him at the moment.

Seeing him look over, he turned his head away.

Ye Jingcheng was surprised. It seemed that he had not yet targeted the latter, but the latter had already targeted him.

This cultivator looked somewhat similar to Mo Hongyuan, and was also the current head of the Mo family, the last Foundation Establishment cultivator, Mo Hongwen.

The latter was currently very close to the Xu family. The two of them transmitted voices and nodded from time to time, seemingly chatting quite enthusiastically.

Ye Jingcheng was not surprised that Mo Hongwen would cause trouble for him, but with the Xu family instigating, his expression became subtle.

Moreover, he found that many Foundation Establishment cultivators had come from the Xu family. As an old-fashioned Violet Palace family, it was expected that they would have many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But this time, the Xu family had sent a full seven people.

After Ye Jingcheng looked around, he also saw Jin Yutang and his eldest brother, but the latter two were seated in slightly higher positions.

Ye Jingcheng exchanged a few glances with the other party, took the initiative to smile, and sent a divine sense transmission to greet them, then closed his eyes and began to wait for the start of the assembly.

As time passed, most of the sandalwood on the Eight Immortals table had burned out, and new Azure Heaven Jade Sandalwood was replaced. By this time, the hall was already seventy percent full.

This was enough to show that there were still many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the entire Taiyi Three Prefectures.

It should be known that most of the people here were family cultivators, and there were not many sect cultivators. Counting the hidden Foundation Establishment cultivators and the sect Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were probably seven or eight hundred.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but think of the most powerful Qin Kingdom in the cultivation world. What a grand occasion that must be.

In the Eastern Region of Dayu, there were eight cultivation nations: Qin, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Qi, Yan, Han, and Jin. Each cultivation nation had an extremely vast territory. The Yan Kingdom was considered relatively small, but it also stretched for millions of miles.

Each cultivation nation was divided into prefectures and counties.

Each prefecture inside was no smaller than a small country in his previous life, especially Taichang Prefecture, which was comparable to six or seven Taihang Prefectures, while Taiching Prefecture was two or three times the size of Taihang Prefecture.

And it was said that the Yanqing Prefecture of the Qinghe Sect was as large as two Taichang Prefectures, and the entire Qinghe Sect’s territory was almost twice the size of the Taiyi Sect’s territory.

The Yan Kingdom was the most inland. There were also rumors that the Qinghe River of the Qinghe Sect could lead directly to the East Sea, but the Qinghe River was too winding and roundabout. If one wanted to go to the East Sea, it would be better to fly straight along the east side.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but think of the Qingyun Sea Area. His Uncle Xingyu had gone to the Qingyun Sea Area. According to the time, it was estimated that they had completely taken control of the Mo family’s territory there.

“Alright, everyone is almost here. I am Yu Tianhe, the seventh disciple under True Person Miaofa. I am honored by the sect’s attention, and I thank everyone for showing their faces. Today’s Foundation Establishment Assembly will be hosted by me.” At this moment, a young man in brocade clothes sitting at the head spoke.

As soon as these words came out, everyone became much more serious.

To be accepted as a disciple by a True Person meant that there was at least a ninety percent chance of breaking through to the Violet Palace stage. Such cultivators were either those with异灵根 or those with second-tier spiritual roots of extremely good quality, and they had to be relatively good at something.

Therefore, even the children of Golden Core families were unwilling to offend Yu Tianhe.

“This assembly is divided into two parts. The first part is the auction of magical artifacts from the Zhang family of Yongan, which can be considered as contributing a treasure to everyone’s upcoming exploration. The second part is everyone’s transactions. We Foundation Establishment cultivators are usually busy with cultivation and have little free time. It is not easy to gather once, so it is a good opportunity to get what each of us needs!”
