Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

In the secluded night sky, a faint silver moon hung.

Its light illuminated the compasses in the hands of the two tower guards, causing them to emit a faint spiritual glow.

When the spiritual glow shone on Ye Jingcheng, a golden pattern appeared on his body, resembling a soaring dragon.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist!" the two cultivators said, gesturing for him to enter.

Ye Jingcheng nodded in acknowledgment. This dragon spirit shadow wasn't unique to him; all Purple Mansion cultivators possessed it, though the color varied depending on their cultivation methods.

The intensity also differed based on their cultivation level.

However, Ye Jingcheng hadn't expected that the lightning power of the Lightning Rhinoceros Beetle would manifest as a golden dragon shadow.

After Ye Jingcheng completed the inspection, he paused and glanced back at the two behind him, only to find that they seemed as nervous as he was.

Although the spirit-isolating robes concealed most of their facial expressions,

their pace and breathing patterns betrayed their unease.

Moreover, entering last was inherently suspicious.

Ye Jingcheng found it normal for the cultivator seeking defensive treasures to be nervous, considering he was a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator who had concealed much of his cultivation.

However, the female cultivator's nervousness surprised him, as he had expected her to be affiliated with the Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce.

Nevertheless, he didn't linger and departed directly.

He passed through several ancient corridors and two secluded front courtyards before finally reaching the most mysterious Night Market Hall of the entire Azure Spirit Night Market.

However, what greeted him wasn't the usual square hall,

but a massive circular hall, somewhat resembling a yurt on the grasslands, only more peculiar due to its immense size.

The circular hall had a total of nine large doors.

Each door was wide open, making the hall feel exceptionally spacious.

Many cultivators were seated in a circle inside.

Eight avenues extended from the eight doors, leading directly to the central circular platform.

Ye Jingcheng chose the nearest door and the last available seat, as he was among the last to arrive, leaving few vacant spots.

Upon entering, he discovered that the dome was transparent.

He could see the deep sky and dark clouds.

This was different from what he had seen outside.

In his opinion, this arrangement minimized the wariness of cultivators, encouraging them to bring out more stolen goods without worry.

This would enhance the popularity of the Azure Spirit Night Market.

However, the moonlight was slightly dim that day, like an old oil lamp about to burn out.

Ye Jingcheng shifted his gaze to the other cultivators and noticed that almost everyone in the hall was wearing spirit-isolating robes.

At that moment, a cultivator in the robes of the Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce walked onto the platform.

"Everyone, it seems we're almost all here. The black market is now open. I am the person in charge of this Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce event. You may call me Steward Qing. I believe many of you are familiar with our Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce's rules, which can be summarized in sixteen words!"

"Transaction on the spot, inspection on the spot, money and goods exchange, no refunds!"

"Of course, if the goods involve your relatives or friends, I hope you will remain calm. After all, the Chamber of Commerce doesn't want to see any incidents. Business is all about making money!" Steward Qing's words, like those of all Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce cultivators, sounded as if they came from a clan school.

His tone wasn't harsh, but the underlying threat was palpable.

It was worth noting that there were even Golden Core cultivators present, not to mention the minimum requirement of Purple Mansion cultivation.

This demonstrated the Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce's confidence.

Moreover, Steward Qing exuded a vigorous aura with a terrifying majesty. If Ye Jingcheng wasn't mistaken, Steward Qing was at least a Golden Core True Person!

"As per the usual rules, the Chamber of Commerce will first auction off twenty treasures. The following treasures will be auctioned or exchanged by you fellow Daoists on stage. Once a deal is successful, the Chamber of Commerce will extract a half-percent fee, capped at five hundred spirit stones!"

Steward Qing spoke again.

Then, he clapped his hands, and several female cultivators emerged from behind him, carrying three jade plates.

Steward Qing unveiled each of the three jade plates.

As the brocade cloths were lifted, three treasures resembling crystal ants were revealed, causing a stir among the crowd.

"These are Crimson Ant Crystals!" It wasn't Steward Qing who spoke, but a cultivator below.

These Crimson Ant Crystals weren't ordinary items, but among the most durable spiritual materials. Even adding some Crimson Ant Crystals to a third-grade high-quality magic weapon could increase its hardness to at least the third-grade peak level.

It could even elevate the magic weapon to a third-grade peak-quality overall.

This material was even more precious than ordinary third-grade finished magic weapons.

Especially for sword cultivators. What's more, there were three large pieces of ant crystal.

Enough to simultaneously enhance several flying swords.

"Now that everyone recognizes them, I won't introduce them further. The starting bid for this treasure is one hundred thousand, with a minimum increment of five hundred each time. Of course, the origin of these insect crystals won't be elaborated upon. Even if there are individual sects involved, I hope you will suppress your anger. The cultivation world is never about fighting and killing, but about harmony and wealth!" Steward Qing's words clearly had a target in mind.

These words extinguished the burning passions in many cultivators' hearts.

These insect crystals clearly weren't obtained through normal means, but were stolen goods.

However, since they had already fallen into the Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce's hands, even the original owners from the material's sect could only grit their teeth and accept the loss.

Many cultivators still made bids.

Ye Jingcheng was one of them.

However, the price quickly reached three hundred thousand spirit stones, causing Ye Jingcheng to shake his head.

The standards of this night market were indeed very high; he was the one who didn't qualify.

In the end, the three insect crystals sold for three hundred and ten thousand spirit stones, not inferior to ordinary peak-quality magic weapons.

After all, the greatest effect of these insect crystals was direct enhancement, and most cultivators would only choose to enhance their natal magic weapons.

This was more useful to cultivators than ordinary peak-quality magic weapons.

After all, natal magic weapons had unlimited potential.

Ye Jingcheng wanted them to enhance his own Heaven River Pearl and Heaven Sand Seal natal magic weapons.

"The second auction item is still a cauldron, but this cauldron isn't ordinary. It's a cauldron that has cultivated the Six Desires Demonic Canon, with a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivation level. It's useful even for Purple Mansion cultivators. If any Daoist friends are full of energy, it's no less than taking pills year-round, truly a wonderful thing in life!"

"However, this time is different from other auction items. You also need to help this female cultivator take revenge. As for which family or sect to avenge, we won't say it publicly, but it won't exceed the power of Purple Mansion!" Steward Qing then brought up a female cultivator.

Even though it was the second time seeing this scene, Ye Jingcheng still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

However, this female cultivator was indeed beautiful and possessed innate charm. Every frown and smile could captivate people's hearts.

The starting price also reached fifty thousand spirit stones, and the final price was auctioned off for one hundred and twenty thousand.

It was comparable to the transaction price of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.

Ye Jingcheng could only say that he had broadened his horizons again, and continued to squint, waiting for the next treasure.

When the third treasure came out, Ye Jingcheng felt even more unusual. It was actually a spiritual herb, one of the third-grade wood essences that he needed.

The wood core of a third-grade Profound Lake Peach Tree.

It was still a two-thousand-year-old Profound Lake Peach Tree, which could be said to be a superior spiritual material. Whether for medicine or refining, wood treasures were extremely good.

However, Ye Jingcheng didn't dare to bid, only symbolically called out a price once, and then gave up.

This treasure was also extremely popular.

Ye Jingcheng also remembered the cultivator who finally auctioned it off. It was a thin cultivator wearing a spirit-isolating robe.

The reason Ye Jingcheng remembered this cultivator was because he was also buying defensive magic treasures, but his cultivation was only at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

Ye Jingcheng suspected that this might be another partner found by the cultivator surnamed Jun.

The fourth treasure quickly appeared, and this time it was a third-tier millennium Seven-Leaf Flower.

It was also one of the third-tier wood-type spiritual medicines, but Ye Jingcheng was already more indifferent.

He only bid twice for this spiritual flower and then gave up.

This ensured that he would not be noticed by anyone.

And this treasure was also bought by a cultivator in the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

It could be said to be extremely clever, but behind the cleverness was a strong sense of trap.

Ye Jingcheng calmly watched all of this, and even his eyes no longer showed much fluctuation.

For him, it would be good if the wood妖 could break through to the third tier.

If it couldn't break through, it didn't matter. After all, the wood妖 only had the effect of prolonging life, and even if it didn't advance, it would bear fruit again in a few years.

There was no need to take risks for short-term benefits. His display of the Azure Sky Shadow magic treasure was already a risky matter, and he couldn't afford to take another wrong step.

Just then, Steward Qing clapped his hands, and the fifth treasure quickly appeared.

And this treasure made Ye Jingcheng's eyes light up. It was a huge mysterious jade box.

Inside the jade box, there were clearly Sumeru array patterns, and a pool of golden spiritual liquid was flowing inside.

It was the Spiritual Eye Spring that Ye Jingcheng had in his cave heaven.

This Spiritual Eye Spring was not even second-tier, but third-tier.

If he had this Spiritual Eye Spring, even without so much wood core, the Peach Wood's advancement speed would be accelerated, and at the same time, Ye Jingcheng could better cultivate the Moon Spirit Shell.

His cave heaven's spiritual energy could break through to the third tier in one fell swoop.

At that time, even if he hadn't connected with the outside world for several years, the spiritual energy in the cave heaven would not be too lacking.

He could even use the third-tier spiritual water to cultivate himself, but he could foresee that this Spiritual Eye Spring would also create enemies.

After all, this Spiritual Eye Spring was clearly not the kind that was wild, but was well-cared for and obtained by brute force.

"This treasure is a third-tier low-grade Spiritual Eye Spring, which can produce a drop of third-tier spiritual water every three months. A drop of spiritual water can be worth thousands of spiritual stones, and there is no market for it. Moreover, the spring is vigorous, and it may not be possible to advance to the third-tier middle-grade in the future!"

"Therefore, the starting price of this treasure is 100,000 spiritual stones, and each increase must not be less than 1,000. Of course, the source of this treasure comes from a cultivator's consignment and has nothing to do with this chamber of commerce!"

For the first time, Steward Qing didn't say to be careful not to get angry, but instead began to shirk responsibility, which couldn't help but make a group of somewhat excited cultivators frown.

Obviously, this Spiritual Eye Spring probably had a big background, and even the Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce couldn't ignore it.

"110,000 spiritual stones!"

"120,000 spiritual stones!"

… …

However, even so, there were still many cultivators who began to bid.

After all, they had all come to this night market and were prepared to buy dirty goods.

As for having a few more enemies, that was only if the other party knew who bought it.

This time, the Azure Spirit Token was sold extremely fiercely, and even the Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce didn't want to know who was behind the Azure Spirit Token.

"250,000 spiritual stones!" Ye Jingcheng also bid!

However, his price was instantly covered up.

"350,000 spiritual stones!" Ye Jingcheng shouted again, and the price of this Spiritual Eye Spring directly exceeded that of the insect crystal at the beginning.

At this time, no one spoke again.

After all, most Spiritual Eye Springs would be placed in the family's ancestral mountain, and many families were still somewhat afraid.

But for Ye Jingcheng, it didn't matter. He put it into the cave heaven, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't detect it.

"Congratulations to this fellow daoist!" Steward Qing looked at Ye Jingcheng's only exposed eyes again, seemingly wanting to see Ye Jingcheng's identity.

However, Ye Jingcheng appeared extremely calm and would not be stage fright at all.

He took the spiritual stones in one hand and the jade box in the other.

And he felt that someone was looking at him, but his expression was not afraid.

He glanced around and didn't see Li Baihe, so he knew that those true core disciples of the sect would not participate in this night market.

After all, the treasures they possessed didn't need to be traded here at all, and the sect would satisfy them.

So those who came here were either immortal cultivation families, loose cultivators, or Purple Mansion cultivators who were not so powerful within the sect.

Holding the third-tier Spiritual Eye Spring in his hand, he was also extremely excited.

And that Steward Qing also took out the sixth treasure.

At this moment, a corpse coffin was carried out.

The appearance of this corpse coffin also made the situation in the arena become somewhat strange.

Even Ye Jingcheng felt that the situation might be starting to change.

Sure enough, as Steward Qing opened the coffin lid, a young corpse was revealed.

"Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce, you have great courage. This is our Martial Brother!" These words also made many cultivators in the arena start to get angry.

Because the one being auctioned was not someone else, but Tai Yi Martial Peak's Wu Quancai, who was also the chief disciple of Martial Peak decades ago, but disappeared many years ago after breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm.

Now he appeared in the Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce's black market.

Obviously, it was to arouse the public anger of the Taiyi Sect.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng looked at Steward Qing with some intriguing thoughts.

As a third-tier body cultivator, this Wu Quancai was naturally also of great value, especially to the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

Moreover, the corpse was extremely well preserved, and it was obvious that his spirit had been destroyed.

And it was very likely that the Azure River Sect killed him, deliberately sowing discord between Zhao State's Medicine King Valley and Taiyi Sect.

Although Medicine King Valley couldn't directly represent the Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce, the background of the Azure Spirit Chamber of Commerce was after all Medicine King Valley.

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient!" Steward Qing's tone instantly became dignified.

"Not to mention whether you are a cultivator of the Taiyi Sect, just talking about your bearing, it has weakened!"

"This corpse was naturally not taken by my chamber of commerce, but was consigned by someone. Is it possible that the auction at Taichang Square City doesn't accept consignments?"

"If you have feelings for the sect, then bid for the corpse. If you have no feelings, then retreat. Considering that this is your first time, I won't kill you, but next time, don't blame this steward for being ruthless!" After speaking, his Golden Core cultivation was unscrupulously suppressed, also making all the Purple Mansion cultivators feel a stuffiness in their bodies, as if they were carrying a heavy mountain.

For a time, they were all somewhat unable to breathe.

"The auction continues, starting price is 30,000 spiritual stones, and each increase must not be less than 500 spiritual stones!"

As Steward Qing's voice fell, the entire auction also continued.

And the cultivator who spoke before, at this moment directly left the venue in anger.

And did not continue to participate in the subsequent trade fair.

And Ye Jingcheng saw this scene, and also continued to close his eyes.

He had a new understanding of the eight opened doors.

And now that he had purchased the third-tier Spiritual Eye Spring, he also had the idea of leaving early.

But thinking that there were not enough spiritual stones now, he shook his head again.

After all, the family still needed to buy Purple Mansion Jade Liquid and Foundation Establishment Pills at the auction, which was after all related to the rationality of most of the Ye family's cultivators.

This matter could not be forgotten!

Moreover, if he missed this opportunity, it would become more difficult for him to deal with the unnecessary magic treasures in his hands!
