Spirit Herb Crisis
In the west main room of the Chu-Ye Pavilion, Ye Xingyi, and Ye Jingyun Ye Jingyu all landed in the hall.
All three looked rather pale, with Ye Xingyi pacing back and forth. After a while, Ye Jinghao also walked in from outside, accompanied by the sound of a cold wind.
"Uncle Thirty-Five, we still haven't found a supplier of spirit medicine. They all say that spirit medicine are quite scarce right now," Ye Jinghao said.
But the moment he opened his mouth, everyone else knew they were in trouble.
Because the Ye Family is unfamiliar with the area and people in Taichang Market, they are currently struggling to even purchase spirit medicine.
The Spirit Feeding Pill and Spirit Nurturing Pill have been selling well these past few days, as have the Red Ganoderma Pill and Qi Replenishing Pill.
As a result, most of the spirit medicine they brought from Soaring Cloud Peak were gone. They either had to send a message to their Lineage or search for spirit medicine sellers in the market.
However, because the distance is too far, ordinary sound transmission talismans simply cannot travel that far.
The Lineage's agreement was to deliver it once every two months.
Unless the cultivators are arranged to return to the Ye Family ahead of time, the latter option is the only choice.
"Someone is targeting our Ye Family." Ye Xingyi his fists involuntarily.
Although he was Alchemist, he couldn't help but feel powerless at this moment, after all, he was just a Qi Refining cultivator.
This is currently the most crucial juncture for it to earn Spirit Stone.
If they buy less medicine, the Ye Family won't even be able to do business.
Unless the Ye Family goes to street stalls or other shops to buy spirit medicine, but unlike cooperation, such open transactions are extremely disadvantageous to the Ye Family, as the price difference is also significant.
"Let's wait for Jingcheng to come out of seclusion!" Ye Xingyi pondered for a long time but still couldn't find a solution, so he had no choice but to speak up.
In Taihang Marketplace, you might be able to talk to someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but in Taichang Market, there are people at the ninth level of Qi Refining everywhere.
Even if he has connections, someone still needs to be interested in him.
But a look of joy appeared on his face the next moment.
A figure appeared in the distance; it was Ye Jingcheng, who had changed into a clean Daoist robe, as he stepped into the hall.
"Ninth Brother, here's your Pill Furnace back!" Ye Jingcheng took out a Pill Furnace and handed it back to Ye Jingyun.
His face was beaming with smiles. After two more days of seclusion, the Crimson Flame Fox had now consumed a second-tier Crimson Flame Pill and begun its advancement.
Ye Jingcheng was also quite looking forward to the Crimson Flame Fox advancing again, perhaps it could become a three-tailed fox.
Moreover, not only the Crimson Flame Fox, but also the Wood Demon in the courtyard has begun to advance in rank.
He has been trying to contact the latter through Soul Pact, but there has been no response. It seems that he has entered a critical period of breakthrough.
Moreover, the Three-Color Cloud Deer's breakthrough time is not long.
Once these three breakthroughs are achieved, Ye Jingcheng estimates that his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage is a certainty.
A 45-year-old in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage would be a rare find even within the Taiyi Sect.
"Thirty-fifth Uncle, is there a problem with the Lineage's spirit medicine?" Ye Jingcheng asked, suppressing his excitement and doubt.
"Exactly." Ye Xingyi nodded.
"It's alright, I can handle this. My elder brother introduced us to the Golden Jade Hall of the Jin Family. Seventh Sister, just come with me then," Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.
He had long anticipated that someone would sabotage him in secret.
After all, the Ye Family and the Xu Family are complete adversaries, and the Mo Family is probably plotting against the Ye Family in secret. It would be unusual if they hadn't made any moves after the business had been open for so long.
As for the source of the spirit medicine, ever since Ye Jingteng left last time, someone has sent over Jade Slip, which contains an introduction to the Jin Family's Golden Jade Hall.
As a Golden Core Lineage, the Jin Family naturally has a large Spirit Herb Garden within its ranks.
Moreover, many of Ye Jingcheng's spirit medicine were purchased from the Jin Family.
And the Jin Family happens to be a powerful backer within the Taiyi Sect, specifically at Taiyi Illusion Peak, allowing them to have an even closer relationship.
For Ye Jingcheng, this was the best news, since it was possible that his second-tier Jade-Scale Pill and the spirit medicine of the second-tier Golden-Scaled Beast could also be obtained through the latter.
"Jingcheng, should we still investigate who is behind this?" Ye Xingyi asked at this moment.
He wasn't particularly skilled in these things within the Lineage, and over the past few days, he had come to regard Ye Jingcheng as the head of the family.
"No need for investigation. It's either the Xu Family or the Mo Family. Since they've taken the initiative, they shouldn't blame us!" Ye Jingcheng said.
"Seventh Sister and Ninth Brother, continue to issue the Ban Xu Order. At the same time, lower the price of the best-selling elixirs from the Xu Family!"
"Secondly, regarding the Mo Family, arrange for Chen Ya and the others to withdraw from several formations!" Ye Jingcheng said.
Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up.
Indeed, the Ye Family had no enemies in Taichang Market, except for the Xu and Mo Families.
They don't need to look for any evidence.
The Ye Family had wanted to issue the Ban Xu Order many years ago, but at that time, the Ye Family was not Purple Mansion Lineage.
Moreover, the Xu Family's territory in Taihang Marketplace was enormous, and their influence was widespread.
The Ye Family would naturally be at a disadvantage, but now that they've arrived at Taichang Market, they're on the same level, both being Purple Mansion Lineage.
Each type of elixir has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The Ye Family is more skilled in making pills for Spirit Beast, while the Chu Family has a wider range of Pill Formula formulas than the Xu Family.
However, if handled properly, they may not be unshakeable.
After all, for Rogue Cultivator, all they need to do is avoid buying elixirs from a particular Lineage and make a Heavenly Dao Oath to save five to ten Spirit Stones, which is incredibly cost-effective.
After all, the Xu Family is not a Golden Core Lineage. He can act arrogantly in Taihang Commandery, but in Taichang Commandery, he is just a minor Purple Mansion Lineage. In fact, he may not even be as powerful as the Chu Family.
Moreover, even if it doesn't have a significant impact, it will still disgust the Xu Family.
As for the Mo Family, this was even more true.
Half of the goal he carried was Mo Hongyuan.
If this happened in Taichang Market, Mo Hongyuan would probably still be suspicious if the Mo Family wasn't tripped up a bit.
After all, the latter hasn't left the Mo Family's shop for almost a year.
After discussing some details with Ye Xingyi, Ye Jingcheng also used the token given to him by Ye Jingteng to deliver it to the Jin Family's shop and arranged to meet Golden Jade Hall at the Zhong Family Restaurant.
In Taichang Market, besides Taiyi Sect, there are four other shops that are most noteworthy.
The Taiqiu Kong Family and the Hetian Jin Family dealt in spirit medicine and pills; the Yuhe Zhong Family dominated the Taiqing Commandery restaurant business; and finally, the Yongan Zhang Family dealt in Law Artifact.
On the contrary, there are no Golden Core Lineage among the Lineage that manage Array, manage Spirit Beasts, or are skilled in Sword Cultivator.
Ye Jingcheng could actually get a general understanding of this.
The sect's main purpose is to cultivate more high-level cultivators. It needs spiritual food, pills, and Law Artifact, so it distributes the profits to these Golden Core Lineage, much like outsourcing to them.
Meanwhile, the most crucial Array, along with various powerful techniques capable of disrupting the flow of energy, and treasures such as Foundation Establishment Purple Palace Jade Liquid, and Gold Condensation Pill, were firmly held in the hands of the sect.
Ye Jingcheng also understood that the reason his Lineage kept a low profile was not only because it made other Lineage wary, but also because it made the Taiyi Sect wary.
Moreover, there are unknown enemies.
