Ye Family Shop. They watched the two Huayu Sect cultivators depart.

Ye Xinghe's gaze turned somewhat cold. He was looking far into the distance, but his expression no longer carried its previous broad smile.

"Jingcheng, the family will give you your rewards in Contribution Points. As for the welcoming banquet, we'll have to postpone it!" Ye Xinghe said helplessly to Ye Jingcheng. Since there was a Blood Heart Pill, the Ye Family would certainly have to buy it. A Blood Heart Pill was no cheaper than a Foundation Establishment Pill! A Foundation Establishment Pill was a cultivator's leap from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, while a Blood Heart Pill determined whether a Foundation Building Cultivator could gain another life.

At this moment, the Ye Family's Clan Protecting Spirit Beast needed a Blood Heart Pill.

In recent years, they had constantly been searching for Spirit Herbs for the Clan Protecting Spirit Beast, leaving the family finances in poor shape as well. Ye Jingcheng understood, but upon hearing about the auction, his attention turned to the Red Dragon Fruit!

That clerk at Taiyi Pavilion had said there would be some at the auction too, so it was almost certain. Though he was merely a clerk, he had seemed sharp-witted; there should not be any problem!

Then Ye Jingcheng needed to prepare Spirit Stones for the Red Dragon Fruit.

Although he still had nearly three or four hundred Contribution Points, the family could not currently exchange them for Spirit Stones.

He only had around thirty Spirit Stones in his Storage Bag.

For that, he could only think of a solution himself.

"Eldest Uncle, do we have any alchemy assignments lately?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.

"No." Ye Xinghe shook his head and entered the room.

Judging by his purpose, Ye Jingcheng felt that he had gone to communicate with the Ye Family's Foundation Building Cultivator! Fortunately, the Ye Family had prepared an extra measure in advance. Otherwise, a round trip from Taihang Market to the Ye Family's Lingyun Peak in five days would have been difficult enough!

At that point, there truly would have been no way to obtain a Blood Heart Pill!

"Thirteenth Aunt, can I exchange for some Spirit Herbs? My purse is a little light right now..." Ye Jingcheng looked at Ye Xinghong and asked. He was determined to obtain the Red Dragon Fruit.

This concerned the Crimson Flame Fox. If his guess was correct, it might be able to improve the Crimson Flame Fox's bloodline.

"Of course." Ye Xinghong nodded. Now that this batch of the family's goods was finished, there would not be so many main customers next time. After all, cultivators rarely bought spirit pills unless they were venturing into the Mount Taihang Mountain Range or preparing for a breakthrough.

Dharma Artifacts were even more so. Many cultivators were unwilling to leave the market for their entire lives, and a single Dharma Artifact might last them until they were bent with age!

"Thirteenth Aunt, I want five sets of Spirit Herbs for refining Azure Spirit Pills, five sets for Body Tempering Pills, and three sets for Qi Return Pills!"

Ye Jingcheng took out his Family Token and had Ye Xinghong deduct the Contribution Points.

Ye Xinghong quickly nodded. After entering behind the counter and calculating for a while, she handed the items to Ye Jingcheng.

"These cost you fifty Contribution Points in total!" After Ye Xinghong spoke, Ye Jingcheng entered the room as well.

He did not immediately begin refining pills. Instead, he cultivated for a while and brought his mental state to its peak before beginning. At this time, the Crimson Flame Fox also yawned and slowly began gathering flames. After refining spirit pills for three days, Ye Jingcheng left his room! Naturally, he could not pocket the Spirit Stones from pills sold by the family, but it was different if he sold them at a street stall.

He only needed to lower the price slightly. Compared to the mixed bag of pills sold at street stalls, he was far more confident in his own.

Ye Jingcheng changed out of the Ye Family's clothes and borrowed a spirit-blocking bamboo hat from Ye Jinghao.

After making sure he was wrapped up tightly from head to toe, he left through the side path commonly used by the Ye Family cultivators of Taihang Market. Only after circling around did he reenter the market.

This time, his destination was precisely the street-stall area of Taihang Market.

He had looked into it. His sort of attire was not uncommon in the street-stall area!

There were always cultivators who would not even let a scrap of mosquito flesh slip away. If someone took a fancy to their Dharma Artifact or treasure, they might follow them when they left the market! Though cultivators were forbidden from fighting within a thousand li of Taihang Market, everyone still preferred avoiding trouble where they could!

Ye Jingcheng spent one Spirit Stone to take a stall slightly farther inside. A stall here cost one Spirit Stone for three days.

The spots near the street entrance had already been claimed by quite a few Rogue Cultivators.

"Selling spirit pills! Come take a look, come have a look! Buy more and get a Spirit Feeding Pill free!" Ye Jingcheng abruptly shouted.

That shout drew the attention of quite a few cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng's voice sounded somewhat immature!

Unlike those experienced cultivators with their deep, resonant voices! Quite a few cultivators liked that. Young ones did not understand the ways of the world; they took their elders' treasures out to sell at stalls! Those experienced ones were obviously old foxes.

Thus, several cultivators quickly approached.

Especially since Ye Jingcheng was calling out and offering a deal, he instantly stood out among the street stalls.

"How much are you selling these Azure Spirit Pills for?" Some experienced cultivators had already guessed that Ye Jingcheng was from some cultivation family after seeing the quality of the Azure Spirit Pills.

The cultivators manning nearby stalls glared viciously at Ye Jingcheng. Some near the street entrance even packed up their stalls and came over to Ye Jingcheng's stall.

"Azure Spirit Pills are eight Spirit Stones each. Qi Blood Pills, six Spirit Stones each. Body Tempering Pills, six Spirit Stones each. Qi Return Pills, six Spirit Stones each. Spirit Feeding Pills are not for sale, only given away. Spend over fifty Spirit Stones and you get one free. There are only five in total, and once they're gone, that's it!"

Ye Jingcheng finished in one breath.

This time, he had refined two batches of Azure Spirit Pills, for a total of eight pills. He had refined only one batch each of Qi Blood Pills and Body Tempering Pills, seven of each in total. He had also refined two batches of Qi Return Pills, for a total of nine pills.

"Your prices aren't cheap either!" A cultivator immediately snorted coldly.

"When it comes to spirit pills, how can you only look at the price and not the quality? My grandfather refined these personally. If I hadn't bought a good Dharma Artifact and spent quite a few Spirit Stones, why would I bring them out to sell?" Ye Jingcheng casually made up a story.

That was how street stalls worked. Sometimes, price alone was not enough; one also needed a story!

Ye Jingcheng clearly noticed several people shrink their necks back.

"Fellow Daoist, I'll buy all your pills!" At that moment, a Brocade Youth stepped into the crowd. "Two hundred and twenty Spirit Stones. How about it?" the Brocade Youth said directly.

"Certainly." Ye Jingcheng nodded. At his listed prices, the pills here would only sell for around two hundred Spirit Stones. Naturally, he was willing.

As the youth took out a Storage Bag, quite a few cultivators began discussing among themselves and carefully examined the spirit pills from afar.

"Fellow Daoist, if you have more spirit pills in the future, keep selling them to me. Just use this jade talisman. It's much safer than selling them here!" The Brocade Youth sent him a voice transmission and handed the Storage Bag to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng looked at the jade talisman and Spirit Stones inside, then nodded.

He did not reply or send a voice transmission.

Once the money and goods had changed hands, Ye Jingcheng left.

The youth in splendid robes also vanished into the crowd. Once he reached a hidden place, he pinched a pill between his fingers and examined it closely.

Then, with a thoughtful look, he said, "As expected, these weren't refined with Earth Fire!"

Everyone, please make sure to read tomorrow's chapter to the end. Thank you all—it concerns the recommendation.
