Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Golden sunlight bathed the earth, and wisps of smoke rose from the mountains, also illuminated with a golden glow.

In the clouds, a spirit boat flew swiftly along the golden morning light,

Leaving behind a long trail of rosy clouds.

On the spirit boat were Ye Jingcheng, Huang Tieyun, and Xiao Congrong.

Huang Tieyun and Xiao Congrong were in front of the spirit boat, repeatedly trying to control the boat's platform.

Unfortunately, this spirit boat was a fourth-tier one, and they couldn't control it at all.

They could only look around, as if trying to see the difference between a fourth-tier and a second-tier spirit boat.

Ye Jingcheng was still at the boat's platform, but his divine sense had drifted far away, watching the mountains, rivers, and towns.

Unlike the mountain ranges on the Eastern Region border, where towns were rarely seen and most of the area was wilderness,

Xiao Mountain Prefecture was full of life. The bustling morning market was already incredibly noisy, and the streets were full of busy mortals.

Besides the mortals, there were also many spirit mountains with spiritual veins in the various mountain ranges.

Some were insignificant spirit mountains, not occupied by any immortal cultivation forces, where two or three rogue cultivators would set up a concealment or illusion array, turning it into an unknown, mysterious immortal mountain.

There were even some simple spirit fields next to the spirit mountains.

Some spirit fields were cultivated day and night by cultivators, while others were still being planted by mortals.

Ye Jingcheng sometimes wanted to see larger spirit mountains, but most of these mountains were covered by more complex arrays. Even the third-tier spirit mountains of the Zifu families were difficult for Ye Jingcheng to see anything without being noticed.

For a moment, he felt a sense of admiration.

"It is indeed much more prosperous than the Eastern Region, and there are many more spiritual veins. No wonder the cultivation world here is so much stronger!"

More mortals created a larger base for cultivators, and more spiritual veins and mountains laid the foundation for cultivators' practice.

Moreover, unlike the Eastern Region, there were clearly more spirit fields and spirit medicine gardens here.

In the two days since he flew from Sand Yellow Mountain, he had seen at least fifty or sixty kinds of spirit rice.

Most of them were first-tier low-grade spirit rice, some inferior to the Ye family's Green Ripple Spirit Rice and Blood Jade Spirit Rice, but some were clearly superior. Most importantly, some could be cultivated by mortals.

And the yield was frighteningly high.

He had even seen one kind of second-tier spirit rice.

Ye Jingcheng was very interested in this kind of spirit rice.

After all, spirit rice, which ripens once a year, had a shorter growth cycle than many spirit medicines. Even if the yield was not high and cultivation was cumbersome, it still had considerable advantages.

The Ye family was now focusing on increasing the number of clansmen while also nurturing more spirit beasts, so it was indeed necessary to enrich the variety of spirit rice in the family.

"Elder Qianchen, ahead is the main city of Xiao Mountain Prefecture!" Just as Ye Jingcheng was thinking, Huang Tieyun and Xiao Congrong began to remind him.

Ye Jingcheng also looked intently and saw a huge city sitting on a wide mountain ridge in the distance. The city stood tall and majestic, facing south, emitting a dark light, like a giant beast glaring at the Southern Border.

The mountain on which the city was located was naturally Xiao Mountain, and there was also a large stretch of continuous peaks near Xiao Mountain.

These peaks were extremely steep, making it almost impossible for mortals to climb them.

The spiritual veins on them were not much worse.

It was just that they did not look as grand and imposing as Xiao Mountain on the surface.

"Elder Qianchen, the mountain where Xiao Mountain Prefecture City is located is Xiao Mountain, and the ones next to it are Puppet Mountain and Profound Mountain, which are controlled by the Profound Puppet Sect. Most of the market here is managed by the Profound Puppet Sect and the Immortal Envoys!"

"At the same time, there are two people that the Elder should pay attention to. One is Xiao Wankun, the Lord of Xiao Prefecture. This person is also the most likely True Person Lord of Xiao Mountain Prefecture to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years. He is ranked among the top in the eleven Prefecture Lords of the Southern Wasteland, and is said to have already reached the late stage of the Golden Core."

"The other person is the Fourth Elder of the Profound Puppet Sect, Jiang Xuanhe, known as the Thousand Puppet True Person…" Huang Tieyun continued to introduce.

Although they had it in the jade slip they gave to Ye Jingcheng, this was after all the first time they had come to such a large-scale event like the Xiao Mountain Market.

Even though there were no Nascent Soul cultivators present, there were many Golden Core cultivators here, and in his opinion, they were not to be easily offended, so he naturally had to remind him carefully.

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng did not look displeased and was listening very carefully, Huang Tieyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Sometimes, for cultivators like Huang Tieyun, the most feared thing was not that the younger generation did not listen, because they could be reprimanded, but if the elders did not listen, there was really nothing they could do.

The three of them talked and quickly flew to the outside of the Prefecture City Market.

There were already many cultivators lining up to register to enter.

"Fellow Daoists and Seniors, Xiao Mountain Prefecture has been infiltrated by many evil cultivators and evil sects, so registration is required to enter the city. Please don't be offended!"

The guards at the city gate made Ye Jingcheng take a few more glances.

Half of these figures were Foundation Establishment and Qi Training cultivators, and half were actually spirit puppets, but these spirit puppets were lifelike, and it was impossible to tell unless you looked closely.

Especially one of the third-tier spirit puppets.

This person was wearing a cold coat, and his eyes were slightly red, as if he could also use some kind of spirit eye to see through illusions.

He was also watching the cultivators entering and exiting.

"It's really amazing!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh.

As expected of a market controlled by the Nascent Soul Sect, the Profound Puppet Sect, spirit puppets had even been used everywhere.

"Elder Qianchen, these spirit puppets can all be sold!" Huang Tieyun explained from the side.

After speaking, he went to the side and took out a token.

The guard looked at Ye Jingcheng, and then bent down repeatedly:

"Senior Qianchen, please come in. Ancestor Qiankui and Lord Xiao have both instructed that you can go straight in when you come."

"It was just that this junior was blind and didn't recognize Mount Tai!" The cultivator spoke extremely smoothly.

"It's okay, it's just that Fellow Daoist Qiankui and Lord Xiao are too kind to me." Ye Jingcheng naturally knew at this moment that there were no instructions at all, but just a few kind words from the other party, and also afraid that Ye Jingcheng would blame him.

Before long, Ye Jingcheng brought Huang Tieyun and Xiao Congrong into the city.

"This is the first time I don't have to pay spirit stones to enter the city!" Xiao Congrong couldn't help but sigh as soon as he entered the Prefecture City.

After all, before, entering the Prefecture City Market required five spirit stones per person. Although it was not much, he was always a little unhappy in his heart. Now, the feeling of being superior made him very addicted.

After entering the Prefecture City, it was the outer city. The outer city was full of courtyards where cultivators lived, and there were also many pavilions for ordinary cultivators. Seeing Ye Jingcheng's confusion,

Huang Tieyun continued to explain.

"Elder Qianchen, these courtyards are all rented out as places for immortal cultivation. Generally, cultivators who don't have enough spirit stones but want to cultivate steadily will rent such courtyards. In addition, some alchemists and artifact refiners will also rent them. After all, entering and exiting requires spirit stones, and many cultivators share the spirit stones together and live in these courtyards with the intensity of third-tier spiritual veins."

"Moreover, in addition to the courtyards here, many of the peaks around Xiao Mountain can be rented, but renting a peak is more expensive than renting a courtyard, but it is more free and the space is large enough!"

"Moreover, whether it is the courtyard in the market or the peak outside, they are all covered by the Righteous Profound Immortal Sect. It can be said that it is safer than the Profound Puppet Mountain Range where the Profound Puppet Sect is located. The last time a fight occurred around the Xiao Mountain Market was two thousand years ago!"

Hearing Huang Tieyun's introduction, Ye Jingcheng nodded slightly. He was a little envious of the Righteous Sect and the Profound Puppet Sect's methods of making money.

In reality, the relationship between the Righteous Path Sect and the Profound Puppet Sect is similar to the relationship between the Taiyi Sect and the Ye family in the Taihang Bazaar today.

It's just that the loose cultivators and small families in Taihang Bazaar are not a threat, and the Taiyi Sect and the Ye family also find it difficult to be as deterrent as the Righteous Path Sect and the Profound Puppet Sect.

That's why the Ye family can't do this kind of business of renting mountain peaks and courtyards at all.

After walking a few long alleys, they finally arrived in the inner city. Unlike the hurried cultivators in the outer city, the inner city was much more leisurely, and there were many cultivators coming and going.

Ye Jincheng felt that even Taichang Bazaar might not be as lively as this place.

There were also more shops on both sides. Like in the Eastern Region, the names of the bazaar shops here are named after the sect or the family's surname.

For example, the shop opened by Xuanhu Island is named Xuanhu Treasure Pavilion.

The weapon refining pavilion of the Xuan family in Luoyun is named Xuan Family Weapon Pavilion.

Moreover, the number of floors of the shops also represents the power of the sect.

One floor is the Qi Refining force, two floors are the Foundation Establishment force, three floors are the Purple Mansion force, and four floors are the Golden Core force.

Looking from a distance, there are mostly two floors, slightly fewer three floors, and only three or four four floors, while the five-story pavilions are only the Righteous Path Treasure Pavilion and the Xuan Puppet Treasure Building in the very center!

"Elder Huang, does our Heavenly Sand Gate have a shop?" Ye Jincheng couldn't help but ask after seeing this.

"Yes, but it hasn't been open for many years!" Huang Tieyun said with a slight embarrassment.

The Heavenly Sand Gate's pavilion is a three-story pavilion. Because there are no Purple Mansion cultivators to guard it, and the Heavenly Sand Gate is originally in a state of decline, and is also facing the invasion of evil cultivators, it simply closed the shop in recent years.

Otherwise, changing the three-story shop to a two-story one would easily expose the sect's strength, but the three-story pavilion needs the highest combat power to pay rent every ten years.

And the Heavenly Sand Gate also had a Purple Mansion cultivator before, but unfortunately, he never came out again in an exploration of a third-order secret realm.

The Heavenly Sand Gate has not had a Purple Mansion to pay rent for twenty years. It can be concealed once or twice, but it will be difficult three or four times.

If Ye Jincheng hadn't appeared, the Heavenly Sand Gate would have come here in the past few years to take the initiative to change the shop.

"Let's go to our own shop to take a look first." Ye Jincheng also said.

Huang Tieyun nodded, and the two walked towards a small street.

This small street looked like the quality of the shops was even worse. Ye Jincheng suspected that some of the shops were opened by loose cultivators.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no benefits. After all, it is better to be a tall person among short people, and the rent should be cheaper.

However, when they arrived at their destination and saw a three-story shop building, Huang Tieyun was a little angry.

The Shayun Treasure Building above had been renamed and changed to Tianyuan Treasure Pavilion.

Of course, this Tianyuan Treasure Pavilion has not yet opened, but the plaque has already been changed.

"It's Tianyuan Sect again. Huangsha Shangren of our Heavenly Sand Gate and Yuanhe Shangren of Tianyuan Sect went to explore the secret realm. They are now forcibly seizing our bazaar shop. It's too much!" Huang Tieyun said like this.

Ye Jincheng was also stunned.

He also didn't expect that the Heavenly Sand Gate's shop would have its name changed in advance.

Although the Heavenly Sand Gate no longer has a Purple Mansion, theoretically, if the Heavenly Sand Gate has paid the rent, this treasure building is still the Heavenly Sand Gate's.

Even if it is registered, without a Purple Mansion cultivator, the three-story building can be changed to a two-story building.

"Let's go visit Mansion Master Xiao and True Person Qian Kui first!" Ye Jincheng then directly suggested.

Hearing this, Huang Tieyun also nodded.

It is absolutely forbidden to fight in the bazaar.

At this moment, the best way to solve this matter is to find Mansion Master Xiao!

Moreover, Ye Jincheng also plans to focus on development in Xiaoshan Bazaar in the future, and he also needs to visit in advance to establish a good relationship with the two.

Even, Ye Jincheng also wants to inquire about the two major forces' views on the surrounding forces.

Soon Ye Jincheng followed Huang Tieyun to the Wankun Palace.

The entire palace is located in the north of the inner city of the bazaar, built magnificently and extraordinarily impressive.

Outside the palace, there is also a wall to build a large courtyard, which belongs to the palace in the city.

Various spiritual trees stand in it, and there is even a small spiritual field.

When they arrived at the gate, there was only one real guarding cultivator, but there were three spirit puppets.

This scene made Ye Jincheng couldn't help but wonder.

After all, according to the Puppet Wasteland inheritance obtained by the Ye family, it is impossible to build so many spirit puppets, especially powerful spirit puppets.

But on second thought, this Xiaoshan Bazaar has not had any problems for thousands of years, and there is no need for any high-level spirit puppets. It is already very good to have someone to deliver messages.

"Senior, we are from the Heavenly Sand Gate, here to visit Mansion Master Xiao!" Huang Tieyun stepped forward and said.

Although that person was in the late stage of Qi Refining, he also glanced at Huang Tieyun, obviously not taking Huang Tieyun to heart.

"Mansion Master Xiao is in seclusion."

Seeing this, Ye Jincheng was about to release his cultivation when he saw the person's expression change.

"Mansion Master is out of seclusion, please come in, seniors!" The cultivator's face was extremely horrified at this moment, even full of worry.

He lowered his head and only dared to glance at Ye Jincheng.

Obviously, he didn't know why a Golden Core would come out of the Heavenly Sand Gate.

"Senior, follow me!" Ye Jincheng naturally wouldn't be angry with a Qi Refiner.

Soon they entered the courtyard and arrived at the real Wankun Palace.

A cultivator in a golden robe, with a kind face, was already waiting there.

"Mansion Master Xiao, Qianchen of the Heavenly Sand Gate has come to visit presumptuously, I hope you don't blame me!" Ye Jincheng said.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen is indeed extraordinary, it is a great fortune for my Xiaoshan Mansion to add another Golden Core!" Xiao Wankun was obviously good at socializing and didn't have the slightest airs.

He quickly invited Ye Jincheng into the main hall of the palace, while the Purple Mansion cultivator on the side invited Huang Tieyun and Xiao Congrong into the side hall.

After all, even within a sect, it is still necessary to avoid real people talking.

This is not just the case for one family, this is also half a common sense in the cultivation world.

"Sit, try Xiaoshan's Qingxiao tea, this is a third-order high-grade spiritual tea!" Xiao Wankun took out the spiritual tea, brewed it, and sent a cup to Ye Jincheng.

"Mansion Master Xiao, this is my first visit, and I don't know what the mansion master likes, so I specially brought an eight-hundred-year-old red ginseng."

Ye Jincheng first took out a jade box from his sleeve and placed it on the table next to him.

Then he took the spiritual tea.

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen is too polite!" Seeing the jade box sent by Ye Jincheng, Mansion Master Xiao smiled slightly.

"Mansion Master Xiao, this spiritual tea is a good treasure!" Ye Jincheng took a sip and only felt that the tea was full of meaning, like swimming in the spring, full of charm.

However, in addition to the tea, the spiritual energy is also incomparably abundant.

Even because the spiritual energy is pure, it may be beneficial to the Purple Mansion cultivator's breakthrough.

"Haha, this tea is the spiritual tea produced by a five-thousand-year-old tea tree in Xiaoshan Secret Realm, but unfortunately, this tea tree only produces half a catty every ten years!" Xiao Wankun also introduced.

Speaking, he took a sip of spiritual tea himself.

After drinking, he looked at Ye Jincheng:

"Fellow Daoist Qianchen is so loyal, what are your plans for the future?"

"Mansion Master Xiao, this time Qianchen came here, I originally wanted to revitalize the Heavenly Sand Gate's shop, and I plan to run some business selling pills in Xiaoshan Bazaar in the future!"

"But I didn't expect that the Tianyuan Treasure Pavilion..."
