Recipe for Supreme Mystery Spirit Wine
Ye Jingcheng's voice was not loud; it barely echoed in the auction hall, and his tone was very calm.
But these few words made everyone turn their heads.
They had heard that the Li Family had offended some powerful figures, and now it seemed that this was indeed the case.
The Ye Family, which has always maintained a low profile, can utter such arrogant words, coupled with the recent sale of pills in the Ye Family Marketplace and its once-prosperous status among Rogue Cultivator.
This prompted many Rogue Cultivators to start speculating.
Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xinghe glanced around and were quite satisfied with the reaction at the auction.
He wanted to be calm yet arrogant, to tell the Rogue Cultivator that the Li Family was already on its last legs.
Moreover, he didn't mention it before so that it would be more convincing to say it at a higher price.
This makes it seem like the Li Family is acting out of spite.
And that was indeed the case with the way the Li Family and Ye Family raised their prices.
"Young man, don't speak so confidently. Who says my Li Family isn't suitable?" Li Yufu naturally wouldn't admit it at this moment.
But the way he looked at Ye Jingcheng changed.
He sensed that Ye Jingcheng had other plans in store.
But at this moment, he felt somewhat powerless.
The Li Family is indeed experiencing an unprecedented crisis.
"Sixteen thousand Spirit Stone!" Ye Jingcheng continued bidding.
He didn't reply to Li Yufu either.
Not replying is even more fatal than replying. You must know that Li Yufu is a senior in the traditional sense. For a junior to not reply to a senior is a sign that the Li Family is doomed in the Cultivation World.
Coupled with what Ye Jingcheng just said, it was clear that the Li Family was not worthy of a mid-grade second-tier Pill Furnace, while Ye Jingcheng was.
This has led many to suspect that the Li Family patriarch may have passed away.
"The pills that will be available later are mine, so I can continue bidding!" Ye Jingcheng said.
A shocking piece of news also broke.
One of the three most important treasures was crafted by Ye Jingcheng.
Li Yufu looked very uncomfortable, and he didn't say anything more, not even offering a price.
He knew that nothing the Li Family said would make a difference now.
The belief among the Rogue Cultivator that the Li Family was Aristocratic Clan of alchemists would inevitably be drastically changed.
This, coupled with the Li Family's recent dwindling customer base and the Ye Family's booming success, further exacerbated the situation.
"Sixteen thousand Spirit Stone per attempt!"
"Sixteen thousand Spirit Stone twice!"
"Sixteen thousand Spirit Stone three times!"
"Congratulations to this fellow Daoist on winning the Three Thousand Harmony Furnace!" Silver Moon's voice was very pleasant, like a lark.
This opening also signifies that the Ye Family has gained the upper hand in the business battle between the Ye and Li Family.
"Next up is the second grand prize: three second-tier Fire Heart Pill. Of course, ordinary Fire Heart Pill wouldn't be the grand prize, but one of these Fire Heart Pill a special pattern. When taken, the toxicity is negligible, and the pill's effects are astonishing!"
"The remaining two both possess Pill Fragrance and are also top-grade elixirs!"
"These three elixirs were all made by a newly promoted alchemy master, which is extremely rare. They have also been appraised by the auction house masters and confirmed to be genuine!" After introducing the elixirs, Silver Moon began to introduce the Alchemist.
This immediately confirmed to many Rogue Cultivators that Ye Jingcheng was the one who consigned the Fire Heart Pill; otherwise, Silver Moon wouldn't have said that.
After all, proactively revealing one's identity would displease the auction house.
This also means that the Ye Family has indeed produced a mid-grade second-tier Alchemist. As for whether it is Ye Jingcheng, it is actually not very important.
Inside the auction hall, some ordinary Rogue Cultivator simply watched the spectacle.
But there were also many cultivators who wanted to raise fifty Ban Li Order, hoping the Ye Family would refine elixirs for them for free.
Ye Jingcheng's actions this time were precisely for this purpose.
The Ban Li Order is the real killer. This time, the publicity in the auction hall will almost certainly spell the death knell for the Li Family. They will find that the Li Family's customers are becoming fewer and fewer.
Moreover, they couldn't find any reason for it. Even if they sent Rogue Cultivator over, they would only learn that the Ye Family had sent Spirit Feeding Pill.
"The starting bid for the Fire Heart Pill is 2,800 Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least 100 Spirit Stone higher!" Silver Moon announced the starting price.
A normal second-grade low-level spirit pill costs a little over a thousand Spirit Stone. A spirit pill with Pill Fragrance will cost a little over two thousand Spirit Stone, while a spirit pill with pill patterns can sell for a little over three thousand Spirit Stone.
Ye Jingcheng refined this pill with pill patterns in four batches before producing just one, demonstrating how rare it is to find a second-tier Fire Heart Pill with pill patterns.
But the effect is also excellent. Not only can it strike a blow against the Li Family, but he himself will also have many opportunities to obtain Pill Formula in the future.
After all, many Rogue Cultivator seek him out to refine pills, which must be for those rare spiritual pills.
The auction for the Fire Heart Pill was equally heated, since not only cultivators could consume it, but Spirit Beast could as well.
Many Lineage may not have Foundation Establishment cultivators, but they might still have second-tier Spirit Beast within their ranks.
The Xu Family and Mo Family families both began bidding.
In the end, it fetched a high price of 7,200 Spirit Stone.
Of course, this grand finale is not as impressive as the Three Thousand Harmony Furnace, but the order itself indicates that the Ye Family has a connection.
The problem is actually bigger.
"The last item up for auction is the recipe for Supreme Mystery Spirit Wine. This is a second-tier, high-grade spirit wine recipe, and it was consigned by a Foundation Establishment senior!"
"After examination by the elders of the auction hall, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this wine recipe. Even Ward Master Jiang has seen it!"
"However, the main ingredient in this wine recipe is quite rare, which is problematic!"
"That's why it appeared in Taihang Marketplace instead of Taichang Market, but seniors need not doubt the authenticity of its recipe!" Silver Moon continued to explain.
She beckoned to the side, and another woman dressed in blue entered, carrying a jade plate.
A cloth was placed over the jade plate to protect it from the spirit.
Silver Moon lifted the barrier, revealing a mirror and a Jade Slip inside.
She picked up the mirror and used her spiritual magic to shine it onto the Jade Slip.
This type of Jade Slip is a special kind of divine sense Jade Slip, which can only be viewed by placing it between the eyebrows. This is also to prevent cultivators from learning the wine recipe remotely.
The mirror revealed part of the recipe's instructions.
Upon seeing the recipe for the wine, Ye Jingcheng remarked that while the recipe was relatively simple, its medicinal effects were astonishing. It could even enhance the cultivation level of Water Attribute cultivators and slightly increase their lifespan.
The only difficulty lies in obtaining a spiritual gallbladder called the Supreme Mystery Turtle.
"This wine recipe involves a great deal of information, and the senior auctioneer has stated that the starting bid must be 20,000!"
"Each price increase must be no less than two hundred!"
Everyone was utterly shocked by these words.
Clearly, no one expected that the grand finale would be a second-tier superior-grade wine recipe, which is just as valuable as a second-tier superior-grade Pill Formula.
Furthermore, sometimes, because wine recipes require fewer Spirit Material, they are actually more valuable than Pill Formula.
Moreover, this wine recipe can even slightly extend lifespan!
What do cultivators cultivate for? Most of them do so for the sake of immortality.
Since drinking alcohol can grant immortality, it naturally makes alcohol seem precious.
No wonder the other party dared to start the bidding at 20,000 Spirit Stone.
"Twenty-three thousand Spirit Stone!"
"Twenty-four thousand Spirit Stone!"
In the blink of an eye, bids began to pour in.
