Li Family Makes Trouble (Please Follow Up!!!)

Li Family Makes Trouble (Please Follow Up!!!) Inside the hall, quite a few cultivators practicing Fire Attribute cultivation techniques immediately began calling out bids.

"One hundred ninety!"

"Two hundred!"

"Two hundred fifty!" Ye Jingcheng directly called out a high price. This price had already exceeded that of the Red Leaf Fruit from the previous auction round! In terms of value, the Red Leaf Fruit was naturally comparable to the Red Dragon Fruit! Thus, Ye Jingcheng named this price only to suppress everyone else.

Yet at that moment, an ill-timed voice rang out:

"Two hundred sixty!"

Ye Jingcheng looked to the side. It was the young Li Family cultivator, Li Xiangcai.

He stood up, brimming with swagger, and even provoked Ye Jingcheng from across the room.

"Two hundred seventy!" Ye Jingcheng suppressed his anger and continued bidding. "Two hundred eighty!" Li Xiangcai spoke again! At this moment, he seemed convinced that Ye Jingcheng was determined to buy it.

"Jingcheng, I still have a hundred Spirit Stones. If you need them, I'll give them all to you!" Ye Jingli spoke from beside him. He, too, could not stand the ugly faces of the Li Family cultivators.

This gave Ye Jingcheng some confidence!

He directly bid three hundred Spirit Stones!

"Three hundred ten Spirit Stones!" Li Xiangcai spoke provocatively again.

Seeing this, how could Ye Jingcheng not realize that Li Xiangcai was deliberately causing trouble!

At this rate, let alone the fact that he only had three hundred seventy Spirit Stones—even if he had a thousand, he might not be able to win it!

Just then, Ye Xinghe's voice sounded in his mind.

"Stop bidding. The clan will bid for you!"

"Understood, Uncle!"

Ye Jingcheng was startled upon hearing this, but quickly transmitted his agreement.

Of course, on the surface, he still appeared extremely anxious. He even took out his Storage Bag and kept checking it, as though counting how many Spirit Stones he had.

Seeing this, Li Xiangcai's face grew even more arrogant and smug.

He looked at Ye Jingcheng with mocking eyes, as though laughing at him for being some country bumpkin.

"Three hundred ten Spirit Stones. Is there anyone else?" Fallen Fragrance Fairy continued in a seductive voice.

Her voice was so soft and luscious that the cultivators could not help wanting to bid several more times! "Three hundred twenty Spirit Stones! We can't let Fallen Fragrance Fairy be left hanging!" A Rogue Cultivator suddenly said with a laugh! Li Xiangcai, meanwhile, did not bid. He merely gave Ye Jingcheng a provocative glance before calmly sitting back down!

The Red Dragon Fruit was sold to a Rogue Cultivator for the high price of three hundred twenty Spirit Stones.

This naturally filled Ye Jingcheng with resentment. Li Xiangcai's target had clearly been him.

Although Ye Xinghe had helped him secure it, those extra Spirit Stones were a real expense.

The auction continued, and more Dharma Artifacts were brought out.

The bidding at the auction grew increasingly feverish.

All kinds of Dharma Artifacts and heavenly treasures left Ye Jingcheng deeply envious!

As an Alchemist, he was naturally familiar with many precious spirit materials.

Just then, Auctioneer Luo Xiang took out a string of beads.

The jade beads were entirely fashioned from various emerald spirit stones. Not only were they exquisitely beautiful, but the Spirit Patterns engraved upon them were also quite profound.

"These are Falling Law Pearls. There are six beads in total, capable of storing six First-Order Grade-High spells, equivalent to six Spirit Talismans that will never be used up. Fellow cultivators who frequently enter Mount Taihang may begin buying!" Fallen Fragrance Fairy stroked the surface of the jade beads, causing spiritual light to drift about. Combined with her graceful figure and the sudden glimpse of spring, it stirred the cultivators below into a commotion! "This Dharma Artifact starts at three hundred Spirit Stones. Each raise must be no less than ten Spirit Stones!"

"Three hundred fifty!"

"Four hundred!"

Almost the instant bidding began, numerous cultivators impatiently began shouting out bids.

Each bid was higher than the last!

Li Xiangcai was among them! He called out the high price of eight hundred! In an instant, the auction pavilion fell silent! Clearly, this price had reached the limit of the Falling Law Pearls.

"Eight hundred ten!" Just then, a lazy voice rang out! The speaker was none other than Ye Jingcheng.

He stood up as well and looked toward Li Xiangcai with an openly provocative air! Seeing this, Li Xiangcai was furious. He had only just treated Ye Jingcheng this way, yet now Ye Jingcheng was instead raising his bid! "One thousand Spirit Stones. Do you dare follow?" Li Xiangcai directly raised it by two hundred!

Ye Jingcheng did not stand up again. He had only meant to jack up the price and disgust Li Xiangcai. If he raised it again, Li Xiangcai might give up! He simply had not expected the other man to add two hundred Spirit Stones at once, like some foolish sucker.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on obtaining the Falling Law Pearls!" In the distance, Auctioneer Luo Xiang brought down the hammer.

Yet Li Xiangcai's expression was anything but pleasant. He could have bought them for eight hundred, but had spent an extra two hundred Spirit Stones!

In the following auctions, Li Xiangcai continued bidding recklessly, but Ye Jingcheng remained unmoved! Instead, Li Xiangcai ended up buying several more items.

For Ye Jingcheng, continuing to raise prices now might only end up hurting himself.

He only had a little over two hundred Spirit Stones in his Storage Bag. It might work the first time, but not the second.

Once was enough for this sort of thing.

"Alright, now it is time for the three grand finale treasures that everyone has been eagerly awaiting!"

As a stir rose through the hall, Fallen Fragrance Fairy clapped her hands. Three female cultivators veiled in light gauze carried out three trays.

Each tray was covered with spirit cloth, concealing every trace of spiritual aura.

As the spirit cloth over the first tray was lifted, a pincer-like Dharma Artifact was revealed.

"This is the Second-Order Grade-Mid Dharma Artifact, the Black Serpent Pincers. It was made from the Jiaolong Scales of a Second-Order Black Jiao, and no fewer than eighty-one array patterns have been inscribed upon it. Fellow Foundation Building seniors are in for a treat. Let me also add that this treasure is a Dharma Artifact with an artifact spirit!"

"The starting bid is two thousand three hundred Spirit Stones! Each raise must be no less than ten Spirit Stones!" Fallen Fragrance Fairy announced.

This time, very few voices rose from below!

There were not many Foundation Building Cultivators or Foundation Establishment Factions present.

The first to speak was Li Xiangcai:

"This should be the Dharma Artifact of an old friend of the Ye Family. I'll show my support with ten Spirit Stones—two thousand three hundred ten Spirit Stones!"

"Not a single stone more!" Li Mutian said maliciously.

"What do the Li Family mean by that? Are you trying to suppress this old man's bid?" At that moment, a dark-faced burly man in a nearby private room glared at the Li Family.

"So it is Blackwood Daoist. Of course not—Li was mistaken!" Li Mutian hurriedly forced a smile.

Though Blackwood Daoist was merely a Foundation Building Rogue Cultivator, what cultivator who could reach Foundation Establishment as a Rogue Cultivator was not kind-faced and black-hearted? Moreover, Rogue Cultivators had no ties or attachments and could act without restraint. Even the Li Family greatly feared such cultivators.

"Two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones!" Li Mutian revised his price again, this time to something normal—not too low, nor too high.

"Daoist Li truly has thick skin—two thousand six hundred Spirit Stones!" Ye Xinghe bid for the first time! He rolled his eyes at Li Mutian as though looking at a fool.

This scene made Li Mutian even more furious!

The price of the Black Serpent Pincers rose once more!

In the end, it was sold to Li Mutian for a full four thousand Spirit Stones! This shocked the entire auction hall.

Even Fallen Fragrance Fairy, as the auctioneer, was glowing with joy and smiling broadly.

At this moment, Ye Xinghe was making calculations in his heart. Li Mutian had been acting a little too wildly today. That Blood Heart Pill later on seemed almost as if it had been prepared specifically for the Ye Family! Where there was something abnormal, there was surely a demon at work. The Ye Family had not been targeted for merely a day or two.

"The second grand finale auction item is a Second-Order Grade-Low spirit puppet. This spirit puppet possesses strength equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. There is no need for this little lady to explain its usefulness; I trust your eyes will not be mistaken!"

"The starting bid is two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones, and each raise must be no less than ten Spirit Stones!"

After another round of bidding, this Dharma Artifact ultimately sold for four thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones.

Unlike Second Order Magic Items, which could only be used by Foundation Building Cultivators, a Second-Order spirit puppet could serve as part of a clan's foundation.

In the end, it was bought by a Chu Family cultivator from Idle Cloud Peak!

"Alright, everyone, I believe many cultivators can no longer wait. The next grand finale treasure is precisely the Blood Heart Pill!" Fallen Fragrance Fairy lifted the brocade cloth, revealing a pill bottle! Within it was a blood-red spirit pill, brimming with spiritual light.
