Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 1235 - 855: Family Finances and Setting Rewards

This is all prepared by the family for him.Chu Yanqing has already returned to the Desert Sea. After all, three Golden Cores and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor are now at Lingyun Peak, so some high-tier combat power is needed back at the Desert Sea. Besides, Chu Yanqing has avenged his great nemesis, thus improving his state of mind considerably.

He is currently preparing to go into seclusion, intending to break through his cultivation to the Purple Mansion Peak in one go.

Ye Jingcheng quickly walked out of the courtyard and headed to the Assembly Hall, discovering that the heads of the various Ye Family chambers of commerce and shop owners were summarizing reports for the family.

"Jingcheng, you came too. Just in time to take a look at the situation in the Eastern Domain these past few years and give us some feedback. See if our Lingyun Peak has been falling behind," said Ye Jingyun, who is now in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, striving for the Foundation Establishment Peak.

In front of him were listeners including Ye Jingyu and a crowd of Ye Family members giving reports.

Ye Jingcheng was familiar with few of these family members, but he had seen all of them several times.

Ye Yunsheng, however, was someone he met for the first time, and he knew of him through a suggestion given by Ye Qingyan last time.

It was said that Ye Yunsheng had an extremely high talent for alchemy.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng appearing here, these reporting family members couldn’t help but feel excited.

They even showed changes in their expressions as they started speaking.

Ye Jingcheng saw this and couldn’t help but feel somewhat speechless inside.

It was clear these family members viewed him as a model, much like how he once viewed Ye Haicheng during his Qi Cultivation days, considering him the most respected person in the Ye Family.

This feeling indeed made one sigh with emotion.

"To Fourth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, Eleventh Uncle, the family now earns eighteen thousand Spirit Stones annually from the Taihang Market taverns, thirteen thousand Spirit Stones annually from the Spirit Beast Workshops, and approximately twenty-eight thousand Spirit Stones annually from the Pill Pavilion and Artifact Workshop!"

"And this is under the family restriction on Star-Feeding Fish, Tier Two Jade Soul Pill, and Tier Two Potential Demon Beast Cubs."

Ye Jingcheng heard this and couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.

Unintentionally, the Ye Family’s revenue at the Taihang Market had already reached sixty thousand Spirit Stones annually.

In other words, just from the Taihang Market alone, the Ye Family could buy three Foundation Establishment Pills annually.

It’s worth noting, this is without considering the costs.

"To Fourth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, Eleventh Uncle, the Ye Family’s Black Ganoderma Trading Association now yields approximately thirty thousand Spirit Stones annually as a result of restrictions, and the profits shared with the sect have been deducted. In fact, the chamber’s annual returns are mostly in Spirit Medicine, which, when converted to Spirit Stones, would be even higher in value!" After the Taihang Market’s report, the chamber’s family members reported.

The Ye Family’s Black Ganoderma Trading Association, apart from selling three types of Spiritual Cuisine, also sells some cultivation materials, such as spirit pills, magical artifacts, and spirit materials.

Although only yielding thirty thousand Spirit Stones, it’s important to understand that this includes profits from Illusion Peak and Sword Peak, with Taiyi Sect’s share from each Purple Mansion output.

All things considered, much is divided out.

However, the benefit is apparent: the Ye Family can use Taiyi Sect’s connections to gather many rare spirit medicines back and understand more about the cultivator forces in nearby Zhao Kingdom, Chu Kingdom, and Jin Kingdom.

However, this chamber’s expansion is not suitable for further development; too much cake is divided, which is not worthwhile for the Ye Family, who has already been frank with Taiyi Sect.

In the future, when the Ye Family’s chamber processes become more stable and get renowned, the Daye Chamber of Commerce will be established.

"To Fourth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, Eleventh Uncle, over at Celestial Arrival Market here, due to the shops just having started for a few years, the current annual revenue is about thirteen thousand Spirit Stones!"

The Celestial Arrival Market belongs to the Celestial Arrival Commandery under the Tian Dao Sect.

But for the Ye Family, most cultivators in that market have trusted the Gu Family and Xiao Family, and even with some superior spiritual objects and spirit pills, the Ye Family’s outcomes aren’t particularly ideal.

Especially since the Gu Family and Xiao Family have good relations with the Ye Family, it’s difficult for the Ye Family to promote aggressively.

They’ve suffered quite a bit.

"However, the profits from the sect’s magical artifacts and Spirit Rice each year exceed sixty thousand Spirit Stones!" The cultivator spoke again.

This transaction was possible with the Ye Family’s assimilation of the Zhang Family’s artifact refining technique blended with the Chu Family’s Water Forging Technique, along with the ore vein resources from the Desert Sea.

Encounters with current special times also contributed to such revenue results.

Otherwise, they would never achieve such yielding effectively.

Anyway, even so, it’s extremely remarkable.

It also genuinely delighted Ye Jingcheng about the Ye Family’s finances.

Finances are crucial for either a family or a sect.

Because cultivators require Spirit Stones for cultivation and resources purchases. Without enough Spirit Stones, not to mention various strategies, even the cohesion of the family can crumble significantly.

That is why, even though the Ye Family holds the Desert Sea and Cloud Sea, they are unwilling to relinquish the Eastern Domain Yan Kingdom.

"To Fourth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, Eleventh Uncle, at Taichang Market, the Ye Family Tavern yields thirty-one thousand Spirit Stones annually, whereas the One Leaf Pavilion yields thirty-eight thousand Spirit Stones annually, and barring unforeseen circumstances, both are expected to surpass forty thousand Spirit Stones in revenue next year!" Ye Yunsheng spoke as well, clearly indicating this upsurge was due to the withdrawal of the Jin Family and Kong Family.

"Meanwhile, in terms of spirit pills, Qing Yan Uncle has researched a pill formula for the Tier Three Vein Protection Pill and wishes for advice from Eleventh Uncle!" Ye Yunsheng initially talked about the family’s commercial shop statuses and then produced a Jade Talisman.

This Jade Talisman was precisely what Ye Qingyan researched.

Ye Jingcheng was surprised for a moment and subsequently received the Jade Talisman.

After a glance, he nodded.

"Indeed feasible!" As a Tier Four Alchemist, Ye Jingcheng recognized a few minor issues but acknowledged the real possibility of successfully concocting the Tier Three Vein Protection Pill.

This also led Ye Jingcheng to appreciate Ye Qingyan even more.

Ye Qingyan had showcased excellent alchemy talent back at Lingyun Peak and now not only fully researched the Tier Two Vein Protection Pill but also deduced a pill formula for the Tier Three Vein Protection Pill.

"This time returning to Taichang Market, inform Qingyan, the family rewards ten thousand contribution points, deducted from my clan token, as a reward for the family cultivator developing a new pill formula, especially breakthrough spirit pill formulas!"

"Of course, this reward applies to others as well. The Ye Family welcomes all talented family members to research pill formulas, and if successful, with proven value, the family supports the upfront trial expenses for Spirit Stones and spirit materials," Ye Jingcheng began by speaking to Ye Yunsheng, then addressed everyone.

He doesn’t lack contribution points but lacks time. On regular days, he simply hasn’t time to research additional pill formulas, but sometimes, revisions and innovations in conventional formulas are greatly needed.

Hence, providing rewards is the best option.

He doesn’t have decision power over artifact refining talismans but believes nobody in the Ye Family can surpass him in assessing spirit pills.

"Thank you, Eleventh Uncle!" Ye Yunsheng is also a pill master, naturally understanding the extent of this strategy’s impact.

He already secretly set sights on the reward.

For ambitious cultivators, offspring rewards are elusive; what can compare to rewards earned by talent and effort?

"No need to thank me. If successful, thank yourself!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, uttering softly.

Then, he waved them to continue arranging the family’s commerce.

As the store introductions concluded, it fell to Ye Jingyun to arrange the Ye Family’s various commercial shop strategies for the future.
