Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Inside the auction hall, Ye Jingli was constantly calling out bids.

Ye Jingcheng, on the other hand, was carefully observing the jade bottle, which contained the essence blood of the Armored Golden Ape.

This essence blood was golden-red, containing an extremely violent aura, and occasionally, the spiritual shadow of a giant ape would manifest, which greatly pleased Ye Jingcheng.

Powerful demonic beasts rely on their bloodline, and the fact that this essence blood, having been extracted for so long, could still manifest such a spiritual shadow was enough to prove that the Armored Golden Ape's bloodline was strong.

This would naturally be of great help to the advancement of the Golden-Eyed Fire Ape.

Moreover, with as many as five drops, he could attempt to refine the Fire Ape Pill even without the Crimson Flame Fox.

After Ye Jingcheng put away the essence blood, Ye Jingli, who was beside him, had also successfully bid on several treasures.

These were all valuable Rank 3 spiritual materials, and he even managed to bid on a Rank 4 rare spiritual material.

"It seems that Sixth Brother's skills have improved again; he's already starting to research Rank 4 magical treasures," Ye Jingcheng said in a good mood.

After breaking through to the Violet Palace realm, in addition to his previous spirit beast, Ye Jingli had also inherited a Three-Eyed Demonic Peng from the Ye family, which further accelerated his cultivation progress, bringing him to the mid-Violet Palace stage.

Of course, compared to his cultivation level, his skill in refining tools was more valued by the family.

He was now a top-grade Rank 3 tool refiner and had already begun researching Rank 4 magical treasures.

This would not only improve his tool refining skills but also provide some benefits when breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

"Indeed, there has been some improvement, but unfortunately, it will never keep up with your cultivation level; I can only forge magical treasures for your son," Ye Jingli replied with a smile, jokingly teasing himself.

Ye Jingcheng was now a Nascent Soul cultivator, and even if Ye Jingcheng spent a hundred years indulging in leisure without cultivating, he might still not be able to forge a Rank 5 magical treasure.

He knew his limitations.

The reason he could refine tools so quickly was partly due to his talent and partly because the Ye family had acquired too many tool refining inheritances over the years.

Whether it was the Water Forging Method of the Chu family or the tool refining inheritance of the Zhang family, they had all benefited him greatly.

After finishing his reflections, he spoke again:

"Jingcheng, remember when we first attended an auction, we were worried about the people on the stage speaking; now, we have become the people others worry about bidding against," Ye Jingli said with emotion, despite his age, upon seeing the scene at the auction.

Now, every time he bids, he only bids three or four times at most, and no one competes with him anymore.

Sometimes, because the starting price at the auction is lower than the normal market price, the treasures he buys don't even have a premium.

It should be known that items without a premium at an auction are considered failures.

Obviously, others were worried that the Ye family would retaliate in the future, so they gave up competing.

In the past, he would never have dared to think like this.

Ye Jingcheng smiled slightly and then nodded with a laugh.

He naturally experienced this change even more deeply; back then, even a descendant of the small Foundation Establishment family, the Li family, dared to raise the price and cause him trouble.

Now, almost two hundred years have passed, and he estimated that that person could have been reincarnated several times.

When he was bidding for the essence blood, he was actually prepared to be price-gouged and pay a higher price.

However, he didn't expect that there weren't many people bidding.

He was now prepared to add some more to the price when auctioning the alchemy furnace.

After all, the Ye family now has many sources of income for spirit stones, and there was no need to damage the Medicine King Valley's impression of the Ye family.

Moreover, it would be awkward for him to find someone to raise his price; it would seem contrived, so it would be better to simply raise it to a suitable price at once.

While Ye Jingcheng and the others were talking, the auction continued, and because it had been a long time since an auction of this scale, the entire auction was particularly lively.

Soon, the auction even featured Golden Core Forming Pills.

In recent years, due to the war and the trip to the Earth Immortal Realm, even Nascent Soul cultivators could not be considered safe, and naturally, the number of Golden Core True Persons who had fallen was not small.

Therefore, this time, Medicine King Valley had also brought out Golden Core Forming Pills, and there were as many as two.

In the past, these would have been considered finale treasures.

The starting price for the Golden Core Forming Pills was 700,000 spirit stones, but it quickly exceeded one million, and in the end, Ye Jingcheng spent 1.48 million spirit stones to win one.

Unlike other spiritual pills, where everyone would give some face, the moment the Golden Core Forming Pills came out, countless forces became anxious; the Ye family, which had Golden Core Forming Pills, was still worried about a shortage, let alone other families and forces.

Therefore, the price was raised extremely high.

Ye Jingcheng had plundered the wealth of various forces such as the Heavenly Water Sect, the Hundred Beast Gate, and the Blood Spear Gate; the spirit stones, excluding the family's assets, amounted to several tens of millions; it was just that the Ye family now needed some face in the Eastern Region and could not take all the Golden Core Forming Pills, otherwise, Ye Jingcheng would have bid for both without any problem.

After auctioning the Golden Core Forming Pills, it was time for the finale treasures.

"Next up for auction is one of the six finale treasures of this auction, a set of Rank 5 Mountain and Swamp Colossus Formation, a mountain protection formation that utilizes the power of mountains; the spiritual shield strength is comparable to the mid-Rank 5 stage; even ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivators would not be able to break the formation in a short time; the starting price for this formation is six million spirit stones!" As the first finale treasure was brought out.

Ye Jingcheng was immediately surprised.

Even he was tempted by this Rank 5 formation.

Although Lingyun Peak had the Rank 5 formation gifted by Fairy Linghong of the Taiyi Sect, and the Heavenly Saber Gate had its own Rank 5 formation.

However, the Ye family's Sand Sea still lacked a Rank 5 mountain protection formation.

Whether it was the Heavenly Phoenix Formation or the Earthly Yellow Dragon Formation, they could only barely be considered top-grade Rank 4 formations, which were naturally enough for the Ye family in the past.

But now, it was a good time to bid for one.

"Seven million spirit stones."

"Eight million spirit stones."

… …

At this moment, there were quite a few people bidding, including True Monarch Luanfu and True Monarch Blood Cloud, whom Ye Jingcheng was familiar with.

Both sects actually had Rank 5 mountain protection formations.

However, there would definitely be more crises in the future, so it would be better to have an extra set.

Moreover, at the Nascent Soul level, they had to protect not just one spiritual mountain; for example, the Spirit Talisman Sect had two Rank 5 spiritual mountains that Ye Jingcheng knew of.

"Ten million spirit stones!" Ye Jingcheng also bid.

This was not the time to be humble; the Ye family had destroyed the Heavenly Water Sect and stirred up the beast tide, so naturally, they were not short of spirit stones, and there was no need for him to hide anything.

"Eleven million spirit stones."

"Twelve million spirit stones."

At this moment, True Monarch Luanfu and True Monarch Blood Cloud would not easily give in either.

The foundations of the two sects were also not weak.

"Sixteen million spirit stones!" As Ye Jingcheng spoke again.

Finally, no one competed anymore.

The value of a normal Rank 5 formation disc was around ten million spirit stones; sixteen million was already considered very high; it was just that Ye Jingcheng had plundered the spirit stones, so he didn't have that much of a burden, and the Ye family could also earn spirit stones from the Central Region, so there wasn't that much pressure.

The Spirit Talisman Sect and Blood King Valley had more pressure.

After the treasure was finalized, it was time for the second finale treasure.

This treasure was a bronze bell.

The bronze bell was a Rank 5 low-grade magical treasure, covered in rust, but its spiritual power was particularly impressive, and it had a soul-capturing divine power, which was definitely very rare among magical treasures.

In the end, it was bought by True Monarch Luanfu for 9.93 million spirit stones.

The third treasure was Profound Heaven Divine Mud, which was used for body tempering and was of great benefit to even Rank 5 Nascent Soul body cultivators; in the end, it was also auctioned off for a price of 7.3 million, but it was bought by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Western Region.

In the Eastern Region, although these forces also had body cultivators, they were only auxiliary cultivators and had not reached the Nascent Soul stage, so they naturally couldn't use it.

Ye Jingcheng's current body cultivation strength was only at the late Golden Core stage and had not reached the peak Golden Core stage, so he naturally couldn't use it either.

This already showed that Medicine King Valley had made a significant investment in this auction.

The fourth finale treasure was the Rank 5 alchemy furnace magical treasure that Ye Jingcheng needed, the Celestial Vast Radiance Furnace.

This alchemy furnace had three legs and was sky-blue, like the celestial radiance from beyond the sky, cyan and cold; according to the information Ye Jingcheng had obtained, it was cast from Celestial Vast Iron and supplemented with thirty-six kinds of fire control spiritual materials and seventy-two kinds of fire formations.

It was definitely a top-grade existence among Rank 5 alchemy furnaces.

"Celestial Vast Radiance Furnace, Rank 5 low-grade alchemy furnace, starting price is six million spirit stones," the auctioneer did not introduce it too much.

A Rank 5 alchemy furnace was enough to explain everything, and since it was cast by True Monarch Hundred Refinements, its quality was naturally trustworthy.

The reason why it was introduced so little was also because Medicine King Valley originally intended to give it to Ye Jingcheng.

Even if Ye Jingcheng only offered a starting price of six million, no one would compete with the Ye family.

"Seventeen million spirit stones!" Ye Jingcheng said directly.

The value of a normal Rank 5 low-grade magical treasure was between six million and thirteen million spirit stones; among them, offensive and ordinary magical treasures were at most eight or nine million spirit stones.

The price of defensive and special magical treasures was between eight million and twelve million; only the top-grade or special magical treasures among Rank 5 low-grade could reach around thirteen million.

The value of this alchemy furnace was naturally also in this range.

Ye Jingcheng had added four million spirit stones, which was already considered a lot.

In the end, without any surprises, Ye Jingcheng successfully bid for this Rank 5 alchemy furnace.

With this auctioned treasure in hand, Ye Jingcheng discovered that his wallet had begun to flatten; after all, he had spent more than 30 million spirit stones at this auction, and including the spending at the trade fair, even though he had taken all the wealth of the Heavenly Water Sect, he was now somewhat strained.

Of course, the Ye family's spirit stone reserves were still considerable, and the Ye family had also obtained the Heavenly Saber Gate's high-grade spirit stone mine, which, if fully exploited, would also be a considerable source of spirit stones.

In addition, Ye Jingcheng could also buy treasures in the name of the Heavenly Saber Gate; after all, he was still the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Saber Gate, and True Person Mo Dao was now his nominal disciple.

It was too normal to buy Rank 5 treasures with some spirit stones.

After auctioning the treasures, Ye Jingcheng continued to watch the auction.

The last two finale treasures were a Rank 5 Azure Essence Treasure Robe and a Rank 5 mid-grade Dragon Essence Pill.

Of course, this Dragon Essence Pill was not a spiritual pill for enhancing the bloodline of Flood Dragons, but a spiritual pill to help Nascent Soul cultivators break through bottlenecks, so it was also popular.

Ye Jingcheng also bid once, but he couldn't compete with True Monarch Blood Cloud, who had bid less before, and was obviously preparing for this Dragon Essence Pill.
