It Has to Be Suitable
As time went on, the auction became increasingly noisy, with the entire hall filled with Rogue Cultivator.
The Moonlight Stone at the top of the hall began to flicker, its blinding light suddenly softening.
This significantly reduced the noise in the hall.
A female cultivator also stepped out from the high platform in the hall.
She wore a long purple gauze dress that shimmered like stars, and her delicate, fair face was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Fellow practitioners and seniors, welcome to the auction in Taihang Marketplace. I am the auctioneer for this auction, Silver Moon!" As the auctioneer introduced herself, a loud cheer erupted from the audience.
Clearly, Silver Moon already had a considerable reputation.
Even Ye Jingcheng glanced at it a couple more times, but that was all.
He had attended the market auctions several times over the years and was no longer surprised by them.
As far as he knew, these auctioneers were all arranged by Ward Master Jiang, and were aimed at the main consumer market in Taihang Marketplace, which focused on Qi Rogue Cultivator.
Most Qi Refining cultivators are in their prime, full of Blood Qi.
This is different from Taichang Market, where there are many Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even those at the Purple Mansion level often appear.
"The first item up for auction is a top-grade Tier 1 offensive magic Law Artifact, the Heavenfire Ring!" Silver Moon didn't say much. After briefly announcing the auction rules, she raised her slender jade hand, and a jade plate appeared in her hand, beginning the auction.
"The starting bid is 1,800 Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least 100 Spirit Stone higher!"
The first item was a ring of fire covered in crimson flames, which looked quite powerful.
However, Ye Jingcheng was not interested.
Ye Jingyun, however, started bidding next to him.
The latter is now a mid-grade first-level Alchemist with a cultivation level of Qi Refining Level 7. He has a pretty good success rate in producing Verdant Grain Pill and Azure Spirit Pill, so he is not short of Spirit Stone.
"Two thousand three hundred Spirit Stone!"
"Two thousand seven hundred Spirit Stone!"
Soon the price of the Heavenfire Ring exceeded four thousand Spirit Stone, and Ye Jingyun had no choice but to give up.
The value of this Heavenfire Ring should have been at most three thousand Spirit Stone, but now it's already four thousand. It can only be said that the market's marketing has been very effective.
In the end, it was sold for 4,200 Spirit Stone.
Ye Jingcheng kept his eyes closed. He had lost interest in the things in front of him. He didn't even consider buying materials like Jade-Scale Pill, Golden Scale Pill Crimson Flame Pill. He had already shared the Crimson Flame Pill with his Lineage, so if the Lineage wanted to buy them, Lineage could.
As for the remaining types of elixirs, he plans to replicate the Pill Formula at the Ye Family's residence after some time. Of course, this will have to wait until the Lineage's observation period for the Crimson Flame Pill is over.
The Lineage has set a three-year observation period for the Crimson Flame Pill. They have already tested it on many Spirit Beasts, and many Spirit Beasts have died. However, those that died were mostly Spirit Beast with lower talent, while those with higher talent have improved significantly, and the results are gratifying.
It also matches Ye Jingcheng's Treasure Book very well.
This also put an end to Ye Jingcheng's idea of improving the Jade Ring Rat.
This elixir is a double-edged sword; it can greatly enhance one's abilities, but it is also extremely dangerous.
Ye Jingcheng can use it because he can see the potential of Spirit Beast.
"The second item for auction is a consignment from a fellow Daoist: a First-Tier Superior-Grade Pill Furnace, Cloud Iron Furnace!"
"The key to this Pill Furnace lies in its complex and intricate internal array patterns. Alchemist should take a good look at it!"
"The starting bid for this furnace is 1,200 Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least 100 Spirit Stone higher!"
While Ye Jingcheng was pondering, Silver Moon took out another Pill Furnace.
The Pill Furnace was dark gray in color and didn't look very appealing, but it still caused quite a stir when Silver Moon touted it.
After all, it is one of the more difficult Pill Furnace to refine among Law Artifact.
Ye Jingyun made another bid, and finally, he got his wish for 2,800 Spirit Stone.
The next items were rather ordinary.
Ye Jingcheng did make two bids, buying auxiliary materials for the second-tier Crimson Flame Pill, as a preparation for making the second-tier Crimson Flame Pill.
During this period, the Li Family did not place a single bid, whereas in previous auctions, the Li Family would have been the most generous.
Ye Jingcheng glanced at the Li Family's cubicle and saw that Li Yufu was also looking over, and even smiled at him.
It was as if they were unaware of the conflict between the Ye Family and Li Family.
Ye Jingcheng felt even more uneasy about this old fox. If the old fox was loud and aggressive towards him and harbored extreme resentment, he would feel a little more at ease.
A truly ferocious hunting dog will not bark when it is about to bite.
"Alright, next up are the three grand finale treasures of this auction. I hope they will satisfy all of you seniors!" Silver Moon continued with a charming smile.
Her smile, bathed in the soft moonlight of the Moonlight Stone, appeared even more endearing.
"The first treasure is the Three Thousand Harmony Furnace. This furnace is a mid-grade second-tier Pill Furnace with three legs, two handles, and three large blazing sun Spirit Patterns. It is a treasure passed down from the Taiyi Sect Taiyi Dharma Peak Sect!"
"I need not elaborate on the value of this auction item. The starting price is eight thousand Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least one hundred Spirit Stone higher!" Silver Moon said, slightly excited, her beauty radiating.
Everyone saw a jade plate appear in front of her, on which a dark red three-legged Pill Furnace was revealed.
The Pill Furnace was engraved with the Three Suns Spirit Patterns, which looked mysterious and extraordinary. Just by feeling its aura, one could tell it was an extraordinary treasure.
However, the bids were rather sparse.
There are still too few Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Ye Jingcheng was the first to make a bid.
"Eleven thousand Spirit Stone!" He added three thousand Spirit Stone as soon as he spoke.
This made two Foundation Establishment among the Rogue Cultivator, who wanted to speak, shake their heads in dismay.
Once there is competition from powerful families, these independent cultivators who have only reached the Foundation Establishment stage become weaker.
"Twelve thousand Spirit Stone!"
The person who spoke this time came from the second floor, which means it was either the Xu Family or the Mo Family.
Ye Jingcheng wasn't surprised; the Xu Family was also Aristocratic Clan alchemists, so there was no problem for them to produce this Pill Furnace.
It's even possible that this Pill Furnace originally came from the Xu Family, Xu Family deliberately claimed it belonged to the Taiyi Sect.
Ye Jingcheng knows more about these marketing tactics than others.
"Twelve thousand three hundred Spirit Stone!" Just then, Li Yufu finally joined the bidding.
It only cost an extra three hundred Spirit Stone.
They seemed quite unsure of themselves.
"Thirteen thousand Spirit Stone!" Ye Jingcheng continued bidding, without any sarcasm.
This time, his only goal was to obtain the Pill Furnace.
Many of his methods require Pill Furnace, and this Three Thousand Harmony Furnace is quite in line with his vision.
"Thirteen thousand three hundred Spirit Stone!" The Xu Family stopped bidding, but the Li Family added another three hundred.
When Ye Jingcheng looked over, Li Yufu still had a kind smile on his face.
"Thirteen thousand four hundred Spirit Stone!" Ye Jingcheng only added one hundred Spirit Stone.
Then, the auction took a strange turn: Li Yufu 300 Spirit Stone, and Ye Jingcheng added 100 Spirit Stone.
The price also reached 15,000 Spirit Stone.
This price is comparable to the normal transaction price of Foundation Establishment.
This made Li Yufu frown, especially when he saw Ye Jingcheng's disdainful look; the smile on his lips gradually froze.
"Fellow Daoist Li, the Pill Furnace isn't necessarily better the higher its level; it has to be more suitable!" Just then, Ye Jingcheng finally spoke up.
