Chapter 415: Palm Lake Pearl, The Mystery of Collecting Spirit Stones (Two-in-One Subscription Request for Monthly Tickets)

Above Taichang Market, the crimson sky once again transformed into screens of spiritual energy.

Upon the screens, spiritual shadows reappeared, depicting pills, spiritual herbs, magical artifacts, and various rare spiritual medicines, constantly circulating, all items to be auctioned.

Ye Jingcheng led the Ye family clan, walking through the streets and alleys of the market, watching the bustling torrent of cultivators surging towards the north.

“That’s a Thunder Essence Fruit!” Ye Jinghu exclaimed from time to time, feeling regret upon seeing the items he desired, lamenting his lack of a craft, otherwise he wouldn’t be so short on spirit stones.

“And Purple Bell Flowers!” Ye Jingting was equally excited at this moment.

Because these treasures were usually very difficult to find, only at such auctions would they appear one after another.

Ye Jingcheng watched their actions, saying nothing, only smiling, his eyes full of admiration when they fell upon Ye Jinghe.

Compared to the two, Ye Jinghe indeed possessed a deeper shrewdness.

And only such an ambitious schemer was truly terrifying to the Ye family.

If not for this, Ye Jinghe would not have been able to complete the first test, attain the opportunity to communicate with beasts, and receive so many votes.

When Ye Jinghe felt Ye Jingcheng’s gaze, a hint of smugness couldn’t help but appear at the corner of his mouth, and it came and went quickly.

If one wasn’t constantly watching Ye Jinghe, it would be difficult to notice.

Ye Jinghe concealed this very well.

“Actually, there are many more treasures that can only be seen at the auction, and even if you don’t buy anything, you can go to the Loose Cultivator Plaza and watch the auction’s projection!” Ye Xingyi couldn’t stand it anymore and introduced.

Ye Jinghu and Ye Jingting listened very attentively.

They immediately looked at Ye Jingyu.

Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingcheng had brought them back to Lingyun Peak from Baiyun Town, and they relied on them more.

Among them, Ye Jingcheng was the family head, so the two of them liked to ask Ye Jingyu at this moment.

Soon, they finally arrived at the entrance of the auction house.

The entire auction hall was now lined with six long queues, cultivators steadily entering through several gates.

The entrance fee for the auction was still twenty spirit stones per person. After Ye Jingcheng paid one hundred and forty spirit stones, they entered the auction hall.

The auction hall was still enormous, completely capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people.

The front rows were ordinary seats, while the back rows were individual compartments, separated by several screens of spiritual energy.

The entire auction hall's decoration and interior were very grand, and the private rooms on the second and third floors were even more luxurious.

Unfortunately, the Ye family was once able to occupy a spot on the second floor, but today they could only stay in a compartment on the first floor.

For some reason, Ye Jingcheng noticed that many cultivators were staring at the fourth floor.

This action was unusual, clearly someone was trying to stir things up.

The fourth floor was reserved for Nascent Soul True Monarchs, but the Taiyi Sect only had one Nascent Soul True Monarch, and he was in seclusion year-round, so it was impossible for him to appear on the fourth floor.

Seeming to feel that the gazes of the people at the auction were not right, a terrifying divine sense suddenly emanated from the high altitude, pressing down on everyone.

This made many people feel both fear and tension, and some even knelt down at this moment.

The pressure was too great, and their physical bodies could hardly bear it.

“Recently, I heard that evil cultivators are causing chaos. This method is to check if any corpse refiners have infiltrated!” A voice came from the third floor, causing Ye Jingcheng to immediately become alert.

He was no stranger to this voice, it was True Person Miaofa.

This was a blatant warning, if there were lawless people who still wanted to continue focusing on the fourth floor, increasing everyone's attention on the True Monarch, then the consequences would be imaginable.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng suspected that even if they didn’t continue, those who started it would be purged.

He glanced at Ye Xingyi, whose eyes were also full of gravity.

This represented that the situation of the Taiyi Sect was indeed not good.

When something happened to its affiliated forces, it had to use Violet Palace Jade Liquid to boost its morale, and at its own auction, someone openly provoked it.

These were just using the lives of some ordinary loose cultivators to test whether the True Monarch existed.

Ye Jingcheng didn't know how long the Taiyi Sect could hide.

All he could do at this time was pray that the Taiyi Sect could hold on a little longer, otherwise the Ye family would also be involved.

At that time, they might really have to flee to the Azure Cloud Sea as a clan.

“Almost everyone has arrived, the auction is about to begin, everyone, please be patient!” An old man with white hair walked onto the high platform again, his white temples seeming to have not changed at all from fifteen years ago.

“I am Qiu Xianyun, the auctioneer for this auction. Here, I would like to thank all fellow Daoists and seniors for coming.”

Qiu Xianyun cupped his hands slightly, then took out a jade plate covered with brocade from the side.

“Alright, without further ado, let’s get straight to the treasures!” Qiu Xianyun uncovered the brocade, revealing a transparent sea pearl the size of an adult's fist.

“This treasure is the Palm Lake Pearl, as the name suggests, holding a lake in your palm!” Qiu Xianyun introduced, then cast a spiritual incantation. Instantly, the pearl shone brightly, and countless lake water dispersed, transforming into various water beast spiritual shadows.

And as the palm opened, instantly, the sky was filled with water mist.

“This treasure contains a drop of Thousand Yuan Heavy Water, and also contains a Void Lake, which can be used to suppress people with gravity, or flood the sky with lake water, which is beneficial for water escape techniques. For water attribute cultivators, it is considered a treasure that integrates offense, defense, and escape!”

“This treasure is a second-tier high-grade magic tool, with a starting price of five thousand spirit stones, and each increment must not be less than one hundred spirit stones!” As Qiu Xianyun spoke.

This made the Foundation Establishment cultivators hold their breath, their eyes inevitably becoming eager.

Even Ye Jingcheng was extremely interested in this Palm Lake Pearl.

After all, the Palm Lake Pearl paired well with water escape, but this treasure was not for the Jade Kirin Flood Dragon, but for himself.

The Jade Kirin Flood Dragon could already summon clouds and mist, and did not lack water mist, but he himself lacked rain-gathering methods.

He also knew the Mist Escape Technique. If he used the Jade Kirin Flood Dragon's spiritual power to cast it, the speed would be equally astonishing.

Paired with the Palm Lake Pearl, it would be an extra means of escape.

Moreover, if more Thousand Yuan Heavy Water was refined into the Palm Lake Pearl, this treasure could very likely be promoted to a magic treasure.

“Six thousand spirit stones!” Ye Jingcheng unhesitatingly opened the price.

“Seven thousand spirit stones!”

“Seven thousand five hundred spirit stones.”

… …

The price didn’t change quickly, but there were always a few people bidding.

Ye Jingcheng was delighted with the Palm Lake Pearl's escape methods and potential, and other cultivators could naturally see it as well.

Fortunately, when Ye Jingcheng bid eleven thousand eight hundred spirit stones, he finally won the Lake Gathering Pearl.

As soon as this price came out, many cultivators at the auction revealed madness in their eyes, and became even more expectant of the remaining treasures.

The first treasure was a second-tier high-grade special magic tool, which had never appeared in previous auctions.

But now the specifications are higher each time.

Ye Jingcheng was somewhat puzzled, the Taiyi Sect's actions were very much like collecting spirit stones.

And so many spirit stones were collected, and the previous reasons given were all to prepare for the Jade Dragon Lake beast tide.

But now it seems that it is possible that they are gathering the beast tide, refining a large spirit gathering array, upgrading the spirit veins, and even using the tide of the spirit veins' upgrade to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop.

When Ye Jingcheng thought of this, he finally felt relieved.

Such a spirit gathering array must be very large. No wonder the Taiyi Sect mobilized all the weapon refiners, formation masters, and spirit talisman masters in the sect.

I'm afraid they were all there preparing at that moment.

Moreover, there is also a problem with the Zhang family. After all, nothing went wrong with the Zhang family's镇荒秘境, and even the people from the Zhang family didn't come out of it.

The Zhang family has been silent for so long, only to end up being investigated, while the Zhong family of Yuhe was exterminated.

It has a kind of warning or even buying people's hearts.

"Next is the second treasure, a second-tier low-grade spiritual material, Fire-纹沉铁. This spiritual material weighs ten pounds and is refined fine iron. In addition, there are natural fire patterns on it. If it is used to refine magical artifacts, it will definitely be a rare treasure. This auction item starts at 1,500 spirit stones!"

Soon, Qiu Xianyun started the next auction item.

Even the second item was extremely precious.

Ye Jingcheng also completely confirmed that the Taiyi Sect was collecting spirit stones.

Otherwise, they would not all be high-quality spiritual materials.

Moreover, they are using the Violet Palace Jade Liquid as a gimmick to attract cultivators, and then use other treasures to harvest spirit stones.

As for the first-tier Qi training cultivators, the Taiyi Sect probably wants to use Foundation Establishment Pills. I'm afraid this time, there will be more Foundation Establishment Pills than ever before.

After Ye Jingcheng finished thinking in his heart, he sat on the seat and closed his eyes to rest.

He came to auction the Violet Palace Jade Liquid. It's okay to sell one or two items, but selling too many times would make it seem fake.

On the contrary, Ye Jingli and Ye Xingyi frequently made bids.

Both of them had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage. If they didn't have so few spirit stones in their hands, they would probably buy several items.

Ye Jinghu was much more balanced. Anyway, he couldn't afford it, so he didn't need to buy it.

After six or seven second-tier treasures and materials were sold, first-tier top-grade treasures began to appear now.

Such as Thunder Origin Fruit, Purple Bell Flower.

Ye Jingcheng also made another bid, spending 790 spirit stones to bid for the Thunder Origin Fruit.

With this spiritual fruit, Ye Jinghu's cultivation can quickly break through to the sixth level of Qi training.

When the beast communication is completed, it is even possible to break through to the seventh level of Qi training.

It's just that it might be a little too hasty.

As one auction item after another was auctioned off, Ye Jingcheng estimated that the Taiyi Sect had already collected five or six hundred thousand spirit stones.

At this time, Qiu Xianyun also took out the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"The number of Foundation Establishment Pills sold this time is fifty. The first twenty will be sold individually, and the remaining thirty will be sold in groups of three!"

"Now selling single Foundation Establishment Pills, the starting price is 8,000, and each increase in price must not be less than 100."

He randomly took out a jade bottle from the jade bottles in front of him, and then opened the jade bottle. Suddenly, a terrifying spiritual energy filled the entire auction hall.

This made those Qi training cultivators almost instantly red-eyed.

Everyone thought that other treasures would become more and better, and Foundation Establishment Pills would also become more, but at this moment, the Taiyi Sect reduced the quantity compared to the last auction.

This means that the competition this time is more intense.

Ye Jingcheng was not surprised by this. After all, the time interval this time was less than six years. Selling too much would cause the Taiyi Sect's price control to collapse, and instead earn less.

The most important thing is that this can also hide the feeling that the Taiyi Sect is collecting spirit stones.

After all, the best way to earn spirit stones is with Foundation Establishment Pills and Violet Palace Jade Liquid.

Ye Jingcheng estimated that there might be at most two portions of Violet Palace Jade Liquid.

Ye Jingcheng did not compete for the initial Foundation Establishment Pills. Instead, Ye Jingyu looked at the Foundation Establishment Pills with envy.

She came to Taichang Fang City for the Foundation Establishment Pill. At this moment, the Foundation Establishment Pill was right in front of her, so she was naturally extremely enthusiastic.

However, her current cultivation is still at the eighth level of Qi training. She is now fifty-five years old, and there are still five years left. For her, earning spirit stones is not a problem, but whether she can break through to the ninth level of Qi training within five years and consolidate her cultivation is the most important thing.

"The Wan family bought a lot of Foundation Establishment Pills." Ye Jingcheng looked at the private room on the second floor. He also paid close attention to the families in Taixing County and Taichang County.

This time, people from the Yuan family and the Wei family have come, but they are also in the compartments, and the two families are also very low-key.

On the Foundation Establishment Pill side, the Wei family also showed enthusiasm, but the Yuan family's performance was mediocre.

As if they didn't care at all.

Ye Jingcheng also had an answer in his heart.

In fact, the situation in the entire Taiyi Three Counties is very clear and very urgent.

The price of each Foundation Establishment Pill has also reached between 25,000 and 30,000 spirit stones.

Seeing this, Ye Jinghu, Ye Jingting, and Ye Jingyu's faces changed. After all, they all have to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. If this is the price in the future, it will be even more difficult for them.

Gathering 30,000 spirit stones is not difficult for a cultivator's life, but how to break through to the ninth level of Qi training before the age of sixty also requires a lot of spirit stones.

This is the biggest hurdle that restricts many cultivators from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, even if there is a Foundation Establishment Pill, it may not be 100% successful in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

There are more than 100 Foundation Establishment Pills every ten years, but only thirty or forty people can truly break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. This is because the cultivators who are qualified to buy Foundation Establishment Pills are inherently gifted.

On the contrary, some excitement appeared in Ye Jinghe's eyes.

As if he felt that he had already won and earned 5,000 more spirit stones.

"Next is the Foundation Establishment Pill sold in groups, with a starting price of 23,000 spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 200!" Qiu Xianyun spoke again.

This time, opening the bid, you can also see that the three Foundation Establishment Pills in this group basically have one with a higher than average quality, plus one with a lower than average quality.

It is considered an excellent marketing strategy.

"60,000 spirit stones!" This time, Ye Jingcheng directly shouted 60,000 spirit stones.

"Patriarch, we are not suitable to open this price!" Ye Xingyi next to him spoke instantly.

Seeing this, Ye Jingli also nodded. They didn't want to buy the single ones just now.

It's not that they don't have spirit stones, nor that they don't care about the family, but that they want to keep all the spirit stones for Ye Jingcheng to buy Violet Palace Jade Liquid.

So at this moment, in their opinion, buying Foundation Establishment Pills is an extremely irrational decision.

"The family needs Foundation Establishment Pills. Whether or not the Violet Palace Jade Liquid can be obtained depends on this storage bag, but it also depends on the people who are competing with us!" Ye Jingcheng took out the storage bag and shook his head.

His eyes also looked at the Wan family, the Cheng family, and the Jiang family, those were the families of Taiqing County.

He looked even more at the loose cultivators on the first floor.

He estimated that in this situation, the price of Violet Palace Jade Liquid might reach an unprecedented price.

And the Ye family, even if they keep these spirit stones, they will not be able to bid for it.

As expected, Ye Jingcheng's 60,000 spirit stones instantly won three Foundation Establishment Pills.

It's not that the temptation of the Foundation Establishment Pill is not great, but that everyone is doing their best to wait for the Violet Palace Jade Liquid!
