Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The Tian Shu Prefecture, while relatively remote in its western district, was bustling with people.

Among the several prefectures in the Southern Wilderness, the Tian Shu Prefecture was not the strongest, but it was definitely the most unignorable and had the highest number of active cultivators.

The reason for this was the extensive network of teleportation arrays in the Tian Shu Prefecture.

Activating a teleportation array to travel to the next destination wasn't something that could be done immediately upon arrival; most people didn't have that kind of influence.

Even Golden Core cultivators sometimes had to wait for at least ten people before the teleportation array would activate.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment and Violet Palace cultivators had to wait for fifty people to gather before a teleportation could be initiated.

At this moment, in the western district, a shop named 'Ye Talisman Shop' was equally lively.

The talisman shop had three floors. The first floor displayed various Tier 1 talismans, as well as animal hides, animal blood, and some special talisman papers.

The second and third floors were for high-quality talismans and custom-made talismans.

This talisman shop was founded by Ye Jingting, and over the years, it had earned a considerable amount of spirit stones for the family. Furthermore, the Ye Talisman Sect had gained some fame in the Tian Shu Prefecture.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that the Ye family had sent over twenty more talisman masters during this period.

These talisman masters gathered in the Tian Shu Prefecture, refining talismans while also gathering useful information for the family.

After all, the Central Domain was much larger than the Eastern Domain.

Even with teleportation arrays, it would take a normal, ordinary cultivator without any background several months to travel smoothly from the Southern Wilderness in the southernmost part of the orthodox sects to the Ingenuity Heaven Prefecture of the Hundred Crafts Valley in the northernmost part.

This was enough to illustrate its size.

Therefore, it was even more necessary for the Ye family to gather information in advance.

"Who is your most skilled talisman master here?" Just then, a white-bearded cultivator wearing a blue robe walked in.

As soon as this person entered, his voice, like thunder, drew everyone's attention.

"It's Superior Immortal Lei Yuan," someone in the crowd recognized him.

It was Lei Yuan, a famous rogue cultivator with the Lightning Spiritual Root in the Tian Shu Prefecture.

Lei Yuan had a family in his early years, but his family was persecuted by another force, and Lei Yuan was the only survivor.

In less than sixty years, he went from the eighth level of Qi Training to the middle stage of the Violet Palace realm, and eventually avenged his family, slaughtering the entire enemy clan.

Since then, he had never joined a sect or established another family.

"I am," Ye Jingting walked down from the upper floor.

Unlike before, when Ye Jingting had to carefully consider everything, she had received news a few days ago that the family's Nascent Soul ceremony had been held and that they were preparing to focus on developing and exploring the Central Domain.

From this day on, thousands of Ye family members would enter the Central Domain, including Ye Jinghu and Ye Yunxi in the Golden Core realm. Naturally, she didn't need to be as cautious and hesitant as before.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist. What can I do for you?"

Ye Jingting looked at Superior Immortal Lei Yuan.

"I want to customize talismans. You have it written here that you can refine Tier 3 talismans, and you boast greatly. I want to buy a Tier 3 high-quality Golden Lightning Talisman. Can you customize it here?"

"Yes, as long as the Fellow Daoist provides sufficient compensation, anything is possible," Ye Jingting nodded.

"That's good, but I not only want this talisman, but also a Tier 3 top-grade Lightning Restriction Talisman."

"Yes, Fellow Daoist, just bring the compensation," Ye Jingting replied again.

This answer caused Superior Immortal Lei Yuan to frown slightly.

He had inquired beforehand, and Ye Jingting had always said she couldn't. Why was she so surprisingly willing to do everything today?

He had prepared some of the talisman materials, but not all of them.

"Fellow Daoist wouldn't be here to amuse us because you can't provide the spirit stones and materials, would you?" Ye Jingting added at the right time.

After being the sect leader of the Ye Talisman Sect for so many years and venturing into the Central Domain for so long, Ye Jingting was naturally not someone without scheming and tactics.

She could see at a glance that the person in front of her was here to cause trouble.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come in and immediately looked for the most skilled talisman master, and asked her in front of everyone if she could refine the most difficult lightning attribute talismans.

Ye Jingting also guessed that the person in front of her was most likely sent by the Xiao family, which made Ye Jingting even more annoyed.

Therefore, she didn't plan to save any face for him.

"Naturally, I have everything prepared, but I'm just seeing if you have the ability. In addition to these two talismans, I also need a Tier 3 Formation Breaking Talisman, a Tier 3 Overlord Body Profound Talisman..." Superior Immortal Lei Yuan began to list them, rattling off a dozen names.

These talismans were generally not things that non-talisman masters could name. This Superior Immortal Lei Yuan was not a talisman master at all. It was obvious who was behind him.

"We can refine them all!" Before Ye Jingting could speak, a cultivator who looked like a handsome young master strode in.

"Just leave the compensation, and since you're refining so many talismans, I can give you a 10% discount on the spirit stones," the cultivator said with a smile as he approached Superior Immortal Lei Yuan.

"Young Master Xiao..."

"Don't call me that anymore. From today onwards, I'm no longer Young Master Xiao. You can call me Fellow Daoist Xiao, or Fellow Daoist of the Ye Talisman Sect."

"If you must, you can call me Xiao, but don't call me Young Master Xiao." The newcomer was none other than Xiao Shaochen.

"Young Master Xiao must be joking. Who doesn't know that Xiao Yuanquan, the Xiao family's ancestor, has broken through to the Golden Core realm, and the Xiao family has become a Golden Core family in one fell swoop," Superior Immortal Lei Yuan quickly said.

"What does that have to do with me, Xiao Shaochen?"

Xiao Shaochen replied coldly.

"Take out your compensation. I can refine everything for you in half a year, or even three months."

After speaking, Xiao Shaochen took out a jade slip and threw it to Ye Jingting.

"I have withdrawn from the Xiao family. From now on, I am a member of the Ye Talisman Sect." Xiao Shaochen smiled slightly at Ye Jingting.

"Did your father agree to you withdrawing from the family?"

"Why do I need his permission? Don't I, as a Violet Palace cultivator, have this much freedom?" Xiao Shaochen said indifferently.

"You don't count. Only a member of the Ye Talisman Sect can count," Superior Immortal Lei Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

He had heard about Xiao Shaochen's talent in talismans.

If Xiao Shaochen was really responsible for refining these talismans, then it was really possible to refine them.

At this moment, more and more cultivators gathered to watch, and soon, several people from the Xiao family arrived.

The one leading them was Xiao Shaochen's father, Xiao Yuanhong.

His face was full of anger. He had just rejected Xiao Shaochen's request, but he didn't expect the other party to leave on the pretext of cultivating in seclusion.

Yet, in less than an incense stick's worth of time, he had run to the Ye Talisman Shop.

Besides him, there was also a Violet Palace cultivator from the Xiao family, and two Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators from the Xiao family.

"Shaochen, what nonsense are you doing?" Xiao Yuanhong said angrily.

Superior Immortal Lei Yuan was someone they had hired from the Xiao family, in order to ruin the reputation of the Ye Talisman Sect.

Then, in the Tian Shu Prefecture's talisman lineage, their Xiao family would continue to dominate, monopolize the benefits, and even use the breakthrough to the Golden Core realm and marriage to reach even greater heights.

But he never expected his son to come out and cause trouble at this moment.

"Is the Ye Talisman Sect an appendage of the Xiao family? If that's the case, then refine them. I didn't prepare that many materials, but I have prepared all the spirit stones. Just help me refine them," Superior Immortal Lei Yuan also spoke up from the side.

Since Xiao Yuanhong had come, then he had a reason to ask the Xiao family to pay for the spirit stones he spent.

If Xiao Shaochen intervened, then even if the task failed, it would be Xiao Shaochen's problem.

Of course, he deliberately emphasized the word 'appendage'.

This way, Ye Jingting of the Ye Talisman Sect would be in a dilemma.

Either she would admit that they were an appendage, or she wouldn't let Xiao Shaochen intervene.

"Chen Jinyuan, the Ye Talisman Sect is the Ye Talisman Sect, and the Xiao family is the Xiao family. Be careful when you speak. Have you forgotten the survival rules of rogue cultivators after being a dog for so long?" Ye Jingting directly shouted angrily.

As soon as these words came out, an angry look appeared on Superior Immortal Lei Yuan's face.

"If you can refine them, then accept the order. If you can't refine them, then say you can't accept it. What's the use of saying other words!"

"Of course I can accept it, but the price of spirit stones will increase by 50%, and they will be refined in three months. If they can't be refined, my Ye Talisman Shop will publicly admit that its talisman skills are not good, and compensate you with three times the spirit stones. How about that?" Ye Jingting said.

"Is it three times the increased price?"

"Naturally," Ye Jingting replied.

"The Xiao family won't intervene?"

"They won't intervene."

"Fellow Daoist Ye." Xiao Shaochen on the side was quite anxious. He knew that Ye Jingting's current talisman skills were not good enough. She could refine at most five or six of these ten-odd talismans.

Even he thought that it would take him four or five months to give himself some leeway.

But he didn't expect Ye Jingting to agree impulsively.

"I'm not a member of the Xiao family. I just paid the sect entry fee. I'm now a member of the Ye Talisman Sect," Xiao Shaochen then quickly stated.

However, his statement didn't make Superior Immortal Lei Yuan's face turn ugly, but it made Xiao Yuanhong's face extremely ugly.

"If you withdraw from the Xiao family, then you should disperse all your cultivation and re-cultivate the Ye Talisman Sect's cultivation technique. Then I will pretend that I don't have a rebellious son like you." Xiao Yuanhong was also extremely angry.

He directly asked Xiao Shaochen to disperse his cultivation and start over, a scene that made Xiao Shaochen's face turn pale.

He didn't expect his father to say such words.

This made his heart cold.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao doesn't need to do that," Ye Jingting also said.

"Since I can say these words, I'm naturally prepared. You don't need to intervene. My Ye Talisman Sect's actions are not subject to anyone's will."

As Ye Jingting spoke, Xiao Shaochen's face was also full of doubt.

He thought he knew the Ye Talisman Sect very well, and had visited the Ye Talisman Sect many times.

But when he met the latter's eyes, he understood.

Ye Jingting was not joking, but was extremely serious.

"Could it be that Jingting has broken through again?" At this moment, Xiao Shaochen couldn't help but think in his heart.

While Xiao Shaochen was guessing in his heart, Ye Jingting had already stepped forward and taken away a storage bag from Superior Immortal Lei Yuan.

This storage bag contained 100,000 spirit stones as a deposit for the talismans.

When he handed it over, Superior Immortal Lei Yuan was still a little flustered, but at this moment, there was no room for regret.

"Also, Fellow Daoist Xiao, and the rest of the fellow Daoists present, this time, half a year later, the Ye Talisman Sect will hold a Talisman Gathering. I hope that everyone will come and support us at that time. The location of the exchange meeting will be announced by my Ye Talisman Sect in the future," Ye Jingting then looked at everyone.
