The Chu Family's Turmoil

Chen Xuanzhou also felt an urge to curse Chu Xiyu.

He knew that Chu Xiyu did not consider the Chen Family to be the Lineage that attacked their Chu Family's Spirit Land.

After all, the Chu Family's Foundation Establishment strength increased significantly after their daughter, a prodigy of the Xi generation, married into the Taiyi Sect. Even with some manpower allocated, the Chu Family's strength was still unmatched by the Chen Family.

The only ones capable of taking action are the Xu Family and Mo Family!

Without evidence, the Chu Family can't retaliate; otherwise, the Xu Family and Mo Family wouldn't explain themselves but would instead make them pay for the defamation.

And he really didn't dare say that.

As for the Ye Family, the Chen Family really did it, and he could only swallow his pride and accept it.

"I admit I was caught red-handed. I went to the Ye Family's place, but only because there was a traitor in the Ye Family from my Chen Family. We were apprehending the traitor, and I'm willing to bear the loss of 10,000 Spirit Stone. As for the Chu Family's place, my Chen Family didn't go, but I suspect that the Chu Family sold the Spirit Stone and their spoils, and are now crying 'stop thief'!"

"After all, some people want to buy the Purple Palace Jade Liquid!"

"Furthermore, I've heard that Old Master Chu has already left Idle Cloud Peak!"

These words caused an immediate sensation, and everyone looked at Chu Xiyu.

There's only one possibility for Old Master Chu leaving Idle Cloud Peak: he's going to consume the Purple Palace Jade Liquid.

After all, it's impossible to bring it back; the risk is too great.

Instead, they went to the market to rent cave abode for a breakthrough.

Given Chu Tianfen's relationship with his daughter, renting a third-tier Spirit Vein cave abode in Taichang Market wouldn't be a problem.

"Stop slandering me! My Uncle Chu Family is just going to the sect to see my Sister Xiyu!" Chu Xiyu quickly explained.

His explanation was simply too weak and unconvincing!

The Xu Family and Mo Family, in particular, immediately took their leave.

They also disregarded the mess that the Chen Family and Ye Family were dealing with.

The other Lineage also looked surprised.

They never expected that the Chu Family would actually buy the Purple Palace Jade Liquid!

The starting bid for this treasure is 200,000 Spirit Stone. To buy it, you'd need at least 400,000 to 500,000 Spirit Stone, and if there are many competitors, the price could go up even further.

"Hmph, I'll go back and check that robe first!" Chu Xiyu didn't explain further and hurriedly left.

The matter concerning the Chen Family will not be pursued further.

Compared to becoming Purple Mansion Lineage, a small Jade Separation Valley is something they can naturally settle slowly.

Moreover, only the Xu Family and Mo Family possess the strength to have two Foundation Establishment within Jade Separation Valley, along with its Array.

After all, each family in Taihang Marketplace has two Foundation Establishment cultivators!

"Fellow Daoist Chen, even if it's to apprehend a traitor, the loss is still significant. Ten thousand Spirit Stone are too little, and my Ye Family has lost quite a few cultivators this time!"

"I will submit the list to the sect in three days!"

"Ten thousand Spirit Stone, plus a First-Tier Superior-Grade Jade Purity Peach Tree!" Chen Xuanzhou said through gritted teeth.

They also hurled insults at the Xu Family and Mo Family.

Today, the Ye Family has neither evidence nor the power to coerce them.

However, the Chu Family was present, and if the Jade Separation Valley were to be compensated to the Chu Family, its value would be enormous.

Moreover, Chu Xiyu is truly a bad person; he clearly knows that the Chen Family doesn't have the power to do what they're looking for.

They even forced it on him!

"Fellow Daoist Chen, let's draw up a written agreement. If it weren't for this, neither of our families would have gained any Foundation Establishment Purple Palace Jade Liquid. I will definitely make this deal with your Chen Family!" Ye Xingliu said coldly, his eyes filled with anger.

Then he took out a jade book.

This jade book is called the Supreme Purity Jade Book, and it belongs to a kind of spiritual contract between cultivators.

It was issued by the Taiyi Sect; once signed, there's no going back.

Although Chen Xuanzhou had no choice, he still signed the agreement.

He was also worried that the Ye Family might actually hand over all the information.

If the Chen Family wants to avoid severe punishment from the sect, they need to pay more Spirit Stone and pay a greater price.

Even though he knew there might be a trap, he still had no choice but to jump in.

Ye Jingcheng set up a stall in Taichang Market for three days and noticed that there were fewer cultivators in the market, especially in the shops.

He landed on the stall; at this moment, most of the elixirs were still unsold.

Even though he has revised the preferential policy in the past two days, offering Grain Avoidance Pill, it still has no effect.

He didn't seem particularly annoyed.

He knew in his heart that selling at a market stall would earn him more money, but he also had to bear the risk of not being able to sell his wares.

In contrast, Lineage are different. As long as Ye Jingcheng can refine and sell, the Lineage will buy him.

The only difference is the price.

Moreover, Rogue Cultivator who browse street stalls used to buy all the pills at first, now they almost exclusively look for rare spiritual items.

There's definitely no shortage of elixirs.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng also packed up his stall, not intending to waste any more time.

They walked towards the shop building.

In the past few days, he has thoroughly investigated the layout of the entire Taichang Market.

The entire Taichang Market is divided into four districts.

Near the north end are the auction hall and the most bustling commercial street, where shops owned by large Lineage are located.

There are several shops that are four stories high.

Xicheng District is the area where they live, consisting of street vendors and Rogue Cultivator Flat House District.

The South District is the area with shops near the entrance, while the East District is the area where cultivators rent out their cave abode dwellings and pavilions.

The Spirit Vein there are extremely abundant; it is said that the price of cave abode dwelling or pavilion there is at least ten times that of Flat House District.

Ye Jingcheng's destination today is the Jin's Treasure Tower.

The Jin Family is one of the few Golden Core Lineage under the Taiyi Sect.

They are also more skilled in elixirs and medicines. It is said that the Jin Family submits a huge amount of spirit medicine to the Taiyi Sect every year.

Ye Jingcheng came to the Jin Family mainly to check out the spirit medicine.

Although he would prefer to see Spirit Beast, the risk of seeing Spirit Beast was too great, as it could easily lead to association with the Ye Family. After all, he had appeared in the Hidden Dragon Hall, and the person in charge of the Hidden Dragon Hall this time was Foundation Establishment cultivator from Taiyi Illusion Peak.

He wasn't particularly lacking in Spirit Beast these days, so he simply gave up.

On the contrary, although he has now found the spirit medicine for the Jade-Scale Pill, he also has the Pill Formula the second-tier Crimson Flame Pill and the second-tier Golden-Scaled Beast Pill Formula.

This time, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to find them.

While we may not be able to find them all, we can at least look for some rare spirit medicine.

Especially for some rare and precious spirit medicine, it's good to plan ahead.

Ye Jingcheng entered the Jin's Treasure Tower, and the first thing he saw was a huge spirit screen, which displayed the spirit medicine that the pavilion currently possessed.

For example, the Red Dragon Fruit and the Flamefall Grass that Ye Jingcheng once considered rare seem rather commonplace here.

Even among the three main ingredients of the Jade-Scale Pill, only the Water Cloud Grass is missing; the Azure Snake Flower and Jade Beauty Fruit are both present, but they are not old enough.

Otherwise, Ye Jingcheng would have bought it directly. There is a certain possibility of failure in refining pills, so it would definitely be better to prepare several batches.

There are also several kinds of spirit medicine for the second-tier Crimson Flame Pill and the second-tier Golden Scale Pill.

However, they are all auxiliary materials for first-tier spirit medicine.

Even so, it was still a pleasant surprise for him, as these auxiliary materials were quite difficult to find in the Taihang Marketplace.

At this moment, an extremely beautiful female cultivator walked over.

"Young master, what kind of spirit medicine do you need? We have one of the most complete selections of spirit medicine and pills in Taichang Market."

"May I ask, Fairy, do you have all the second-tier spirit medicine? Can Qi Refining cultivators purchase them? I'm looking for a gift for my master's birthday, and I'm thinking of gritting my teeth and buying one!" Ye Jingcheng asked rather embarrassedly.

The female cultivator nodded upon hearing this.

She had seen many cultivators like this.

"Of course you can, but second-tier spirit medicine require going up to the second floor, and Qi Refining cultivators need to have their credentials verified; it takes at least a thousand Spirit Stone to go up!" the female cultivator explained patiently.

Without hesitation, Ye Jingcheng took out an ordinary Storage Bag and counted out a thousand Spirit Stone.

After showing the female cultivator a look, she led Ye Jingcheng upstairs.

The second floor is more elegantly decorated, with rows of bookshelves and an octagonal table with a cup of fine tea on it.

Inside these bookshelves were individual spirit shields, containing numerous spirit medicine.

"Young master, are you looking for pills? I have all the second-tier pills here except for the Foundation Establishment!"

"Senior, I wish to purchase a Fire Attribute spirit medicine to present to my master!" Ye Jingcheng said.

"The rarer the better!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Upon hearing this, the person in charge's expression became somewhat indifferent, after all, spirit medicine were not as valuable as elixirs.

But he also stepped forward, offered Ye Jingcheng a cup of tea, and took out five jade boxes.

These jade boxes are all transparent.

They were all clearly second-tier, low-grade Fire Attribute spirit medicine.

"Would you mind taking a look at these five treasures, young master?"

Ye Jingcheng also examined them carefully. The five spirit medicine were Red Fish Grass, Fireheart Flower, Fox Red Grass, Crimson Feather Ganoderma, and Craneheart Red.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

He appeared somewhat disappointed, but inside he was actually quite excited.

This Fox Red Grass is one of the five main ingredients for the second-tier Crimson Flame Pill.

He made the right choice by trying it here!

"Would the young master like to see a mid-grade second-tier spirit medicine?" the steward asked again.

"I won't look anymore, I don't have enough Spirit Stone. I'll just take this Fox Red Grass. I wonder how much it costs?"

"Nine hundred and ninety-three Spirit Stone. We'll just forget the three Spirit Stones and give you nine hundred and ninety Spirit Stone, fellow Daoist!"

"Thank you so much, senior! Yes, senior. I am an Alchemist and I have my eye on some of the spirit medicine below, but I am a little short of funds. Could you please save a spirit medicine for me so I can come back in a few days to buy them?"

"Of course, I can make the decision for you!" The person in charge nodded, quite satisfied with the deal.

Ye Jingcheng also took out Spirit Stone to exchange for spirit medicine, but he didn't exchange for the first-tier ones.

As for returning to exchange it later, it's just to show that he's relatively poor, so that the store won't have any designs on him. Even if he wants to buy it later, he'll only Meng Xuan to do it for him.

Instead of spending lavishly on purchases themselves.

Otherwise, if he went out like that, who knows how many people he might have taken with him.

In the days to come, he planned to visit other treasure pavilions, but unfortunately, he only had a little over two thousand Spirit Stone.

At most, you can buy one more second-tier Crimson Flame Pill spirit medicine.

The two-tailed Crimson Flame Fox was already so powerful; he was already looking forward to the three-tailed Crimson Flame Fox.

After circling the market and confirming that no cultivators were following him, Ye Jingcheng returned to the group of bungalows.

"Jingcheng, we have to leave early. The Chu Family has bought the Purple Palace Jade Liquid!" Ye Haiyi said, his face full of surprise and some worry.

After all, many people at the Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment will come from Taihang Marketplace at that time.

If they are discovered, it will also affect the Ye Family's grand plan!
