Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The Treasure Pavilion of the Tian Dao Sect is, in itself, a Tier Four Top-Grade Spiritual Tower, with strong defense and monitoring capabilities.

It’s difficult to steal treasures from it, not just from outside intrusion, but even with insiders cooperating from within the tower.

The guardian of the Treasure Pavilion is at the Golden Core level, though he is a Fake Pill Cultivator.

Once knowing he had no hope of reaching the Golden Core naturally, he ingested a Tier Four Demon King’s Inner Core to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

Though he does not have the lifespan of a true Golden Core, his combat power surpasses that of an ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator by far.

He appears quite aged, yet still bowed respectfully upon seeing Master Mo Dao approaching.

He repeatedly clasped his hands:

"Brother Mo Dao, Elder Ye."

"This is Elder Mo Yu of our Treasure Pavilion," Master Mo Dao introduced.

"Mo Yu pays respects to Elder Ye."

"Elder Mo, there’s no need for such politeness. We are both Golden Core cultivators; such formality makes me feel undeserving!"

The two exchanged simple greetings, with Mo Yu adopting a very humble demeanor.

Ye Jingyu naturally did not act overbearingly, knowing that the Tian Dao Sect never held significant grudges against the Ye Family.

One could even say that the Tian Dao Sect had assisted the Ye Family in its early days.

Upon hearing Ye Jingyu’s response, Mo Yu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

As he did not understand much about the Ye Family, now that the Tian Dao Sect was aligning with them, he naturally feared being used through his role in the Treasure Pavilion to acquire treasures.

If such a scheme were exposed, he would end up taking the blame.

He was undoubtedly familiar with such tactics.

However, seeing that the Ye Family cultivators were not aggressive or condescending towards the Fake Pills of the Tian Dao Sect.

Mo Yu invited the two into the Treasure Pavilion, where Ye Jingyu was greeted with the sight of an expansive treasure house.

Rows upon rows of wooden shelves, encased in layers of Spirit Shields, displayed categorized Spirit Pills, Spirit Medicines, Spirit Materials, Spirit Talismans, and more...

A dazzling display that left one in awe.

Mo Yu did not stop with Ye Jingyu on the first floor but led him directly to the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

The entire first floor of the Treasure Building held treasures and spiritual materials needed by Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment disciples.

The second floor contained cultivation techniques and some secret techniques of the Tian Dao Sect needed by Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The third floor housed Tier Three Treasures and Tier Three Jade Talismans.

The fourth and fifth floors corresponded to Tier Four and Tier Five Treasures, respectively.

The Tian Dao Sect is a Nascent Soul Sect; thus, the Treasure Building spans five floors. If not for the Ye Family’s takeover, the Tian Dao Sect’s Treasure Tower would have lost a level.

After all, the Tian Dao Sect currently only has Golden Core cultivators and no Nascent Soul cultivators.

To continue with five floors would be considered disrespectful to the Nascent Soul within the Cultivation Realm.

Upon reaching the fifth floor, the room seemed narrower.

Moreover, there were numerous arrays; even Mo Yu had to utilize several Array Banners to part the arrays, revealing several wooden swords.

He led Ye Jingyu to a table and took out Spirit Tea to entertain Ye Jingyu.

This Spirit Tea came from a Tier Four Profound Gang Tea Tree belonging to the Tian Dao Sect.

The tea tree was extremely old, yet the Spirit Tea it produced was extraordinary, thickening the cultivator’s True Essence, making it more domineering and aggressive.

Especially for swordsmen and sword cultivators, drinking this tea would significantly enhance the power of their sword techniques and styles.

The tea had a bold, enduring richness, yet without losing its fine texture.

As Ye Jingyu drank the Spirit Tea, Mo Yu turned off the Spirit Shields of the Treasure Pavilion, revealing all the treasures, and simultaneously produced a Jade Record.

"Elder Ye, this Jade Record contains all treasures below the fifth floor. As for the treasures above the fifth floor, we await your selection!" Mo Yu stated cautiously.

Ye Jingyu, finishing the Spirit Tea, felt his True Essence become more domineering.

He was still marveling at the Spirit Tea when he became astonished by the treasures on the fifth floor.

The treasures within the Jade Record were not particularly valuable to Ye Jingyu, considering the Ye Family had many Tier Four Treasures.

Only the Tier Five Treasures could make Ye Jingyu’s eyes light up.

Furthermore, the Ye Family couldn’t just take all the Tier Four Treasures; as for Tier Five Treasures, only Ye Jingcheng required them, so they should naturally be allotted to him.

At a glance, the Tier Five Treasures appeared exceedingly precious, especially a Black Saber among them.

It was sealed within a coffin.

This method of sealing and the intricate Spirit Patterns on it naturally drew Ye Jingyu’s attention.

Master Mo Dao and Mo Yu, showing understanding, removed part of the array sealing the coffin.

Instantly, a dense Bloodthirsty Blade Intent surged forth, conjuring an illusion of a sea of corpses and blood in Ye Jingyu’s mind.

This was a testament to the demonic nature of the treasure.

"This is..." Ye Jingyu couldn’t help but ask.

"This is a Tier Five Demon Treasure, the Blood Demon Saber, extremely evil. Each time it is wielded, it consumes not the cultivator’s True Essence, but their vitality and lifespan. It is the greatest trump card of our Tian Dao Sect. With this Blood Demon Saber, theoretically, it is possible to slay a Nascent Soul as long as the Golden Core cultivator has enough vitality and lifespan," Master Mo Dao explained.

"If not for Master Uncle Tian Dao’s limited lifespan, he could indeed have entered the Earth Immortal Realm with this saber!" Master Mo Dao’s expression dimmed as he spoke.

After all, the power of this Tier Five Treasure was enormous, but Tian Dao True Monarch had little lifespan remaining, and wielding this saber could risk him dying before his enemies.

Moreover, fearing this treasure would be coveted by the Penglai Sect, it wasn’t taken to the Earth Immortal Realm.

Ye Jingyu felt a sudden realization upon hearing this.

He had wondered why the cultivators of the Tian Dao Sect, renowned for their longevity sword techniques, had so few Golden Core cultivators.

This was evidently a gross exaggeration by the Tian Dao Sect to safeguard the Demon Saber.

As for why Tian Dao True Monarch had a short lifespan, it was likely also related to this Demon Saber.

Besides the Blood Demon Saber, the entire Tier Five Pavilion contained ten Tier Five Spirit Materials and one Celestial Sea Sunken Wood Heart.

This was the heart of a Tier Five Spirit Wood, naturally making Ye Jingyu overjoyed, as he knew Ye Jingcheng had been searching for a Tier Five Wood Heart.

Among the Tier Five Spiritual Medicines, there was a Fire-Quenched Crystal Jade Fruit, which was what Ye Jingcheng needed.

In addition to the spirit materials, there were also two Gold Condensing Fruits, several Jade Talismans, and a Spirit Talisman.

The Spirit Talisman was a Tier Five Great Five Elements Spirit Gathering Talisman.

It could briefly enhance Spiritual Energy.

To be honest, its usefulness was limited, as the Ye Family was not short of Spirit Veins; it could only serve as a Top-Grade Spirit Stone during breakthroughs, which was still a decent choice.

As for other Spirit Talismans, there were none.

Evidently, even if there were any, they were likely taken to the Earth Immortal Realm.

In terms of cultivation techniques, the Tian Dao Sect had five techniques that could cultivate to the Nascent Soul, which wasn’t too few or too many, but enough to reach the Golden Core Peak—eleven techniques in total, along with several Tier Five Secret Techniques.

For example, the Tian Dao Sect’s most central Celestial Blade Nine Techniques and the refining method of the Sinking Blade Bottle.

Sword cultivators have the Sword Embryo and the Sword Nurturing Bottle; similarly, the Tian Dao Sect has the core Sword and Blade Pot Technique.

Using this Sword and Blade Pot Technique, a cultivator’s Lifebound Spiritual Saber can dramatically increase in power with its first strike.

Much like the Ye Family’s Sword Nurturing Bottle which nurtures Sword Intent, the Sinking Blade Bottle increases the Spiritual Saber’s might and strength.

Such a first strike could practically be described as splitting mountains and seas.

Seeing all this, Ye Jingyu was filled with joy—the Tian Dao Sect indeed had no shortage of treasures.

Moreover, this implied that, in the future, the Ye Family would have specialized sword cultivators in addition to their sword cultivators.

The strength of the Ye Family was surely to greatly increase in the future.

Having gone through the Tier Five Treasures, Ye Jingyu then examined the Spiritual Record.

As for Tier Four Treasures, he naturally did not go up to the Fourth Layer to check them, because he was merely taking count, not confiscating.

Just a glance made him somewhat surprised again.

Within the Pill Formulas, there was surprisingly a formula for the Little Golden Returning Pill, which could enhance the quality of a Golden Core cultivator’s Golden Core.

If successful, it could elevate a Lower Grade Golden Core to a Middle Grade, and a Middle Grade to an Upper Grade.

Although he did not need this Golden Core himself, Ye Xuefan could definitely benefit from it.

And future Golden Core cultivators of the Ye Family would surely find it useful.

The sole unfortunate thing was the existence of a spiritual medicine called the Cyan Silk Heart-Nourishing Fruit, which neither the Ye Family nor the Tian Dao Sect possessed.

In the future, they would certainly need to attend certain trade fairs and treasure hunts.

Apart from these, the Tian Dao Sect possessed two Gold Condensing Fruit Trees, fourteen Purple Jade Vines, and thirty-eight Celestial Essence Fruit Trees required for Foundation Establishment Pills.

Plenty of Tier Four Spiritual Treasures and Spirit Materials as well.

Ye Jingyu also noted down the Tier Four Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Materials that Ye Jingcheng and the Ye Family needed.

He then listed them separately and proposed acquiring them at internal prices using spirit stones.

After Ye Jingyu made this proposal, Master Mo Dao and Mo Yu both declined.

"Elder Ye, the treasures that Supreme Elder Qianchen needs, please take them as our Sect’s due respects, there’s no need for purchase or Contribution Points." Master Mo Dao naturally wouldn’t accept.

Unable to persuade them otherwise, Ye Jingyu eventually acquiesced.

Taking away the treasures Ye Jingcheng needed, he also copied all the cultivation techniques, though he also deposited the techniques the Ye Family had acquired over the years into this Tian Dao Sect Treasure Pavilion.

The majority of contributions were naturally sword cultivation techniques.

After all, these were obtained from the Celestial Sword Sect and Wan Family by the Ye Family.

The Ye Family’s core techniques, naturally, not a bit would be taken out.

Such measure preserved their dignity on both sides.

After all, the Ye Family is merely leading the Sect, not enslaving it.

Seeing Ye Jingyu’s actions, naturally, all three were very pleased.

"Elder Ye, given my age, I may no longer be suitable for the position of the Treasure Pavilion Elder of the Tian Dao Sect!" Approaching the end, Mo Yu spoke up directly.

He knew that he was no longer suited to be the Elder of the Treasure Pavilion.

This position naturally had to be given to a Ye Family Member.

Rather than be forcibly replaced by the Ye Family, it was better to preserve his dignity and withdraw voluntarily.

"Elder Mo Yu, there’s really no need for such concerns; we currently don’t have many Golden Core cultivators in the Ye Family, so it’s best for Elder Mo to remain at the Treasure Pavilion. Of course, to prevent any potential infiltrations, our Ye Family’s Jing Generation, Ye Jingfeng, particularly skilled at counter-infiltration, will join to help oversee things!" Ye Jingyu spoke very diplomatically.

In the short term, it wouldn’t be appropriate to replace Mo Yu, but eventually, they naturally would.

Master Mo Dao and Mo Yu both nodded upon hearing this.
