At Chu Ye Pavilion, in the west main room, at this mont Ye Xingyi, Ye Jingyun, and Ye Jingyu were all gathered in the hall.
Their expressions were sowhat gloomy, and Ye Xingyi was pacing about. After a while, Ye Jinhao also entered from outside, bringing with him a cold gust of wind.
"Uncle Thirty-Five, still no luck finding a supplier for the spirit dicine. They all say it’s quite scarce right now," Ye Jinhao spoke up.
As soon as he said this, the others knew trouble was brewing.
Because the Ye Family was unfamiliar with Taichang Market, and now even the purchase of spirit dicine was becoming a problem.
The Spirit Nourishing Pill and Spirit Cultivation Pill had been selling well these past few days, and the Red Ganoderma Pill and Qi Replenishing Pill were also doing great.
As a result, most of the spirit dicine they brought from Lingyun Peak was gone. They either had to use the Sound Transmission Talisman to contact the family or find spirit dicine sellers in the market.
However, due to the long distance, ordinary Sound Transmission Talismans couldn’t reach that far.
And the family agreent was for deliveries every two months.
Unless they arranged for a cultivator to return to the Ye Family early, the only option was the latter choice.
"Soone is definitely targeting our Ye Family," Ye Xingyi couldn’t help clenching his fists.
Even though he was an Alchemy Master, he felt powerless at this mont, as he was rely a Qi Cultivation Cultivator.
This was a crucial point for him to earn Spirit Stones.
Missing a few days’ worth of dicine would an the Ye Family could not continue their business.
Unless the Ye Family turned to street vendors or other shops to buy spirit dicine, which, unlike cooperative deals, would be highly disadvantageous for the Ye Family, with significant price differences.
"Let’s wait for Jincheng to co out of seclusion!" Ye Xingyi pondered for a long ti and still couldn’t find a solution, so he had to speak up.
In Taihang Market, soone at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer might still have influence, but in Taichang Market, Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer cultivators were everywhere.
Even if he had connections, they would have to be significant ones.
Yet in the next mont, a look of joy appeared on his face.
From afar, a figure appeared, it was Ye Jingcheng, now wearing a clean Daoist robe, entering the hall.
"Brother Jiu, here’s your Pill Furnace back!" Ye Jingcheng took out a Pill Furnace and returned it to Ye Jingyun.
His face was full of smiles, and after two more days of seclusion, the Red Fla Fox had already consud the Tier Two Red Fla Pill and started its advancent.
Ye Jingcheng was quite looking forward to the Red Fla Fox advancing again, hoping it might beco three-tailed.
Moreover, not just the Red Fla Fox, even the Wood Demon in the courtyard has begun its advancent.
Now, after connecting through the Soul Contract, there were no responses, as if it had entered a critical breakthrough period.
And the Three-Colored Cloud Deer wasn’t far from its breakthrough either.
Once all three broke through, Ye Jingcheng estimated that his breakthrough to the middle stage of Foundation Establishnt was assured.
Achieving the middle stage at forty-five years old, even in the Taiyi Sect, was considered a rarity.
"Uncle Thirty-Five, is the family having issues with spirit dicine supply?" Ye Jingcheng suppressed the excitent and spoke with doubt.
"Exactly," Ye Xingyi nodded.
"No worries, I can handle this. Eldest Brother introduced us to the Jin’s Jin Yutang, Seventh Sister, co with when the ti cos," Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.
He was already expecting that soone in the shadows might plot against them.
After all, the Ye Family was in direct opposition to the Xu Family, and the Mo Family was likely scheming against them too. Given this long after opening, a lack of any disturbances would be unusual.
Regarding the channels for spirit dicine, after Ye Jingteng left last ti, he entrusted soone to send a Jade Talisman, which included recomndations for the Jin’s Jin Yutang.
The Jin Clan, being a Golden Core Clan, naturally had a large spirit dicine garden.
Moreover, many of Ye Jingcheng’s spirit dicines were purchased from the Jin Clan.
And this Jin Clan was coincidentally backed by the Taiyi Sect’s Taiyi Illusion Peak, making their relationship potentially closer.
To Ye Jingcheng, this was the best news; after all, his Tier Two Jade Qilin Pill and Tier Two Golden Scale Beast dicines might also be sourced from there.
"Jingcheng, do we need to find out who is causing trouble in secret?" Ye Xingyi inquired at this mont.
He wasn’t skilled in these matters within the family, and for so ti now, he regarded Ye Jingcheng almost as the Patriarch.
"No need for investigation. It’s either the Xu Family or the Mo Family. Since they’ve acted, they can’t bla us!" Ye Jingcheng spoke up.
"Seventh Sister, Brother Jiu, continue to enforce the Prohibition Order, and for Xu Family’s best-selling elixirs, sell at a lower price!"
"Additionally, for the Mo Family, arrange for Chen Ya and others to return several Array Discs!" Ye Jingcheng instructed.
Upon hearing this, their eyes brightened.
Indeed, the Ye Family in Taichang Market had no enemies other than the Xu and Mo families.
There was no need to gather evidence.
The Prohibition Order was sothing the Ye Family wanted to issue years ago, but back then, they weren’t a Purple Mansion Clan.
Moreover, in Taihang Market, the Xu Family’s territory was vast and widely impactful.
The Ye Family would naturally be at a disadvantage, but now in Taichang Market, they were on an equal footing, both being Purple Mansion Clans.
In terms of elixirs, each had its strengths and weaknesses.
The Ye Family specialized in spirit beast elixirs, while the Chu Family excelled in the breadth of pill formulas, surpassing the Xu Family.
But if handled properly, they might unsettle them.
After all, for loose cultivators, choosing not to buy one family’s elixirs, then taking a Heavenly Dao Oath to get a discount of five to ten Spirit Stones, was very tempting.
Since the Xu Family wasn’t a Golden Core Clan, they could act domineeringly in Taihang Commandery, but in Taichang Commandery, they were simply a well-known Purple Mansion Clan, perhaps not even as intimidating as the Chu Family.
Additionally, even if the impact wasn’t substantial, it would still annoy the Xu Family.
As for the Mo Family, it was even more so.
The target he bore was partly Mo Hongyuan.
If they didn’t cause so troubles for the Mo Family in Taichang Market, perhaps Mo Hongyuan would get suspicious.
After all, the latter hadn’t left the Mo Family’s shop in nearly a year.
After discussing so details with Ye Xingyi, Ye Jingcheng used the token from Ye Jingteng, went to Jin’s Shop, and sent a ssage to arrange a eting with Jin Yutang at Zhong’s Tavern.
In Taichang Market, apart from the Taiyi Sect, four families were notably significant.
The Taiqiu Kong Family and He Tian Jin Family specialized in spirit dicine and elixirs, the Yuhe Zhong Family had a monopoly on the restaurant business in Taiqing Commandery, and finally, the Yong’an Zhang Family, which dealt with magical artifacts.
However, families dealing in arrays or specializing in spirit beasts or sword cultivation didn’t include any Golden Core clans.
Ye Jingcheng could more or less understand this.
The Sect focused on cultivating higher-level cultivators, needing Spiritual Cuisine, elixirs, and magical artifacts, so they outsourced these to Golden Core Clans, sharing the profits with them.
anwhile, the core arrays, various mighty techniques, Foundation Establishnt Pills, Purple Mansion Jade Liquid Golden Pill and other essential treasures remained tightly in the Sect’s control.
Ye Jingcheng understood that the family’s low profile was not just to avoid drawing envy from other families, but also to avoid scrutiny from the Taiyi Sect.
Additionally, there were unknown enemies to consider.
