Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

“To start a business! Tell me the rules of this Taihang Market, explain what’s frowned upon, mention a few places to conveniently and affordably buy treasures, and, additionally, where the loose cultivator stall area is?” Ye Jingcheng asked directly.

He had been to the market before and was indeed very familiar with these, but firstly, he didn’t want to reveal that he had been before, and secondly, having them explain would be more comprehensive, as seven years had passed, and he’d like to know if anything new had appeared.

For Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingyun, it was time for urgency.

For now, they needed to memorize the rules, and in a few days when the store settled, they would have to remember the cultivators, which family’s chief steward was who in the market, who they couldn’t offend, and even which Purple Mansion or Golden Core cultivator resided permanently—all of these they must remember.

The female cultivator soon started speaking eloquently, and Ye Jingcheng also passed by the Chu Family Market but didn’t enter immediately, allowing the female guide to explain while they gathered more information about the market’s layout, scouting for locations.

After all, guides here cost at least three spirit stones for two days, while this female guide cost five spirit stones for two days.

Naturally, Ye Jingcheng wanted to learn more from her.

After most of the explanation, they arrived at the Independent Cultivator Square.

“Senior, this is the Independent Cultivator Square, where pitching a stall does not require rent, except for the gazebo at the very center which does!” the guide continued introducing.

“Which storefront is better here? Also, I’ve heard both the Chu Family and the Mo Family have shops here—how are their shops performing right now?” Ye Jingcheng asked again.

This question made the female cultivator pause slightly.

“Senior, those are Purple Mansion Clans…”

“What, can’t discuss matters in the open?” Ye Jingcheng’s tone turned heavy.

“Of course, we can!” The female cultivator nodded repeatedly.

“Senior, the Chu Family hails from Taihang Commandery, a newly elevated Purple Mansion Clan who started by refining artifacts. Currently, their shops consistently sell Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts, and they can also facilitate custom orders for such artifacts. Apart from that, the family’s Profound Iron is rumored to be excellent and seems to control one Profound Iron Ore, while their family’s connections in the Taiyi Sect are quite good.”

“Moreover, the shop is currently managed by an extremely charming fairy, who is well-known within the market…” The female cultivator stopped here, without further elaboration.

After all, Chu Xiyu from the Chu Family had attached herself to Ming Yuan Ascendant.

Arranging for a beautiful cultivator in this was suggestive of certain implications, which was better left unsaid.

“As for the Mo Family, they are also a Purple Mansion Clan from Taihang Commandery, an old-established Purple Mansion Clan, selling and renting restaurants and array discs in Taihang Market. However, their restaurants were openly marked for sale a year ago and have since been sold, and they currently trade in array discs, though reportedly there have been frequent issues with their recent array discs, with the most feedback on issues coming from the young lord of the Taichang Li Family…”

The female cultivator spoke with much detail, but she glossed over some hidden messages.

The biggest taboo in guiding is to invite disaster upon oneself.

This female cultivator’s explanations were actually quite comprehensive.

“That’s enough, the guiding stops here!” Ye Jingcheng took out five spirit stones and handed them over directly.

“Senior, there’s still over a day left…”

“No need, by the way, how is spirit stone collected in guiding cultivators here?”

“This…”

“Don’t worry, I’m here to do business too. I understand these tricks; I’m also an Alchemy Master, having others bring business rather than ourselves. You can even bring associates! Like, if you bring someone and make a deal with us, I’ll give you three spirit stones. If you get other guides to bring a person to us, I’ll additionally reward you with one spirit stone! Of course, I hope this remains confidential!” Ye Jingcheng transmitted privately. His words made the female pause only for a moment before nodding vigorously.
