Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Pecans
Under the plan of Steward Tang from the Taiyi Sect, several bases were selected in the jungle to prepare for the development of residences and courtyards.
This include the site selections for other clans as well, as uniformly required by the Taiyi Sect.
The Ye Family is pleased with this arrangement. Perhaps due to guilt, the place assigned to the Ye Family this time is significantly larger, subtly ranking first among the Four Great Foundation Establishment Clans, whereas they were usually last.
After all, the mountain peak of the Taiyi Sect that the Ye Family has a good relationship with is the Taiyi Illusion Peak.
Besides selecting locations for the courtyards, the Taiyi Sect has also developed two Spirit Medicine Gardens by the Spiritual Energy rich poolside.
In the future, these two Spirit Medicine Gardens might become the most important places for the Taiyi Sect.
After all, while the Jade Profound Iron Spiritual Ore is only a Tier One Top-Grade Spiritual Ore, the Spirit Medicine Gardens nourished by a Tier Three Spirit Vein can cultivate Tier Three Spiritual Medicine for cultivation by Purple Mansion Cultivators.
On the surface, it seems like each clan is protecting the Cyan Iron Spirit Ore together, but in reality, they are jointly protecting these two Spirit Medicine Gardens.
Moreover, since all Red Spirit Fish must be completely cleared out, Ye Jingcheng suspects that the Taiyi Sect may be raising higher-grade Spirit Fish.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have so casually given all the Red Spirit Fish to the Two Great Purple Mansion Clans and the Ye Family.
After all the announcements were made, the cultivators gradually began to disperse, with many loose cultivators either signing up as miners or simply leaving.
The majority of those signing up as miners are Mid-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators.
Most of the Late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators quietly left.
Though large sects are usually open and transparent, providing miners good treatment, it offers little future prospects for Late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators.
Cultivators, including those from the Ye Family, also began arranging shifts for the ore vein, with the Two Great Purple Mansion Clans and the Four Great Foundation Establishment Clans, requiring each family to leave at least five Late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators and ten Mid-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators.
At least two families must also provide a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who also rotates every five years, with the Li Family and the Chu Family being the first in line.
The Ye Family and the Mo Family are, however, placed at the end of the line.
After the Taiyi Sect cultivators left, Mo Family cultivators came directly towards the Ye Family, led by the Mo Family Patriarch, Mo Hongyuan.
"Ye Daoist, here is a Tier Two Heart Healing Pill. Although it’s not particularly effective, it might have some use for your Spirit Beast!" Mo Hongyuan produced a pill bottle and handed it to the Ye Family.
"Brother Mo, my Spirit Beast is used to being tough, and it’s nothing but a few years of rest for these injuries, no need to waste a Tier Two Pill!" Ye Xingliu shook his head.
Mo Hongyuan was a bit surprised, but then saw Ye Xingliu speak again:
"Brother Mo has been kind, but I’m not sure if Brother Mo could help handle this batch of Red Section Fish?" Ye Xingliu asked with a hint of difficulty.
At these words, Mo Hongyuan instantly chuckled.
"I thought Ye Daoist was troubled over something serious. This small matter is naturally nothing!"
"This batch of Red Section Fish will be purchased from you at three Spirit Stones per tail, and if you want to exchange them for treasures, you can do so!" Mo Hongyuan waved his hand in a carefree manner.
He originally came to the Ye Family intending to buy the Red Section Fish.
Such spiritual objects that could disrupt Mo’s Tavern, he naturally would not allow to leak out.
What he hadn’t expected was how cooperative the Ye Family would be.
Notably, the other Purple Mansion Clan, the Xu Family, simply claimed the fish for clan cultivator consumption, and raised the price by a full Spirit Stone.
The Ye Family’s willingness to sell naturally also placed pricing power in Mo Family’s hands.
Add to that, unlike the Xu Family whose Spirit Fish required the Mo Family to catch, the Ye Family arranged a dozen or so cultivators to help catch the Spirit Fish.
However, fewer cultivators sought after forest spiritual objects.
Elder Brother Ye Jingyong, Fourth Brother Ye Jingyu, Sixth Brother Ye Jingli, including Ye Jingcheng himself, were among them.
Ye Jingyong’s expression wasn’t great, given that the Red Section Fish directly belong to the Mo Family, they didn’t gain Spirit Stone profits.
It wouldn’t hurt to explore the forest.
"Second Brother, given our Ye Family’s skills, there aren’t many spiritual medicines left in the forest!" Ye Jingyu explained to Ye Jingyong with a hint of helplessness.
"Moreover, the clan promised to give us a fifth of the Spirit Stones, and during the trade with the Mo Family this time, we can also choose some spiritual medicines or Array Disc Magical Artifacts from them. For any additional Spirit Stones, we just cover ourselves!" Ye Jingyu continued.
"Fourth Brother, can any kind of spiritual medicine be attempted?" At this moment, Ye Jingcheng suddenly thought of the hundred-year Pecans.
The Advancement Spirit Medicine for the Golden Scale Beast, it was just missing one Pecan.
If it could be exchanged from the Mo Family, Ye Jingcheng would be willing to pay three hundred Spirit Stones.
The main issue is that there are too few of this kind of Spirit Fruit on the market.
"It’s worth a try, but it’s not certain!" Ye Jingyu left room for uncertainty.
In the subsequent time, the dozen or so people also began catching Red Section Fish at Jade Dragon Pool.
There were still about eighteen hundred Red Section Fish left, a considerable number.
The Ye Family divided it into two portions, or approximately three hundred sixty, converting them to Spirit Stones as well, which would be over a thousand Spirit Stones.
However, the Spirit Stones reaching each person’s hands amounted to just thirty.
The catching of Spirit Fish continued until sunset, as a fiery red sunset gradually dipped and vanished among the forest treetops.
Only then did the dozen or so leave satisfied, bidding farewell to the Mo Family cultivators.
The Ye Family offered the Mo Family a Spirit Beast Bag filled with Red Section Fish and a Jade Talisman.
In exchange, the Mo Family provided the Ye Family with a substantial amount of Spirit Stones.
Upon leaving Jade Dragon Pool, rows of wooden huts and pavilions could already be seen in the distance.
The speed of the cultivators was exceptionally fast, especially since the Taiyi Sect had long planned and brought many specialized cultivators.
With the forest’s abundant supply of giant trees, this efficiency was improved by another ten percent.
Moreover, stalls had begun to appear on the square next to the pavilions.
Among them were loose cultivators as well as clan cultivators, clearly indicating that some people aimed to sell their harvests right there at Jade Dragon Valley.
Thus, a sizable temporary marketplace was formed.
The noise and clamoring suddenly made the place seem like a bustling mortal market.
Surprisingly, the Taiyi Sect didn’t impose any control.
"Second Brother, Fourth Brother, Jingcheng, let’s have a look as well!" Ye Jingli’s interest was piqued. Many of the refining materials from Demon Beasts were the source of his inspiration.
"Alright!" Ye Jingyu also nodded, showing a keen interest in the market.
As for Ye Jingcheng, the more Advancement Elixirs for the Golden Scale Beast, the better, since he had no confidence in succeeding on the first try.
Upon entering the market, Ye Jingyu and the others also spotted many Ye Family members, now setting up stalls.
The treasures on these stalls varied and were not limited to what Jade Dragon Valley had, though the items sourced from Jade Dragon Valley were a bit cheaper, while those brought from elsewhere were slightly more expensive.
What delighted Ye Jingcheng was that among the stalls, he actually spotted a Pecan...
