Upon hearing the auctioneer speak, Ye Jingcheng immediately perked up.

He became interested in the Wood Demon.

He already has Peachwood Demon, which can produce spirit peaches, and judging by the time, the spirit peaches are almost ripe.

Moreover, the current second-tier spirit peach can extend one's lifespan by ten years, which is enough for some Ye Family who are over sixty years old to attempt to Foundation Establishment.

Anyone under seventy has a chance.

The only drawback is that they only get married once every five years, but the Ye Family is small.

As Ye Jingcheng's eyes burned with fervor, Liu Yun on the stage had already taken out a jade box.

To deal with the Wood Demon, the only way to conceal it is by using a jade box.

The same thing happened when the Ye Family was catching Peachwood.

After all, the Wood Demon's wood escape technique is extremely powerful, and it can even escape from certain specific magic arrays.

The jade box wasn't large, suggesting that it might contain a young Wood Demon.

This kind of Wood Demon is even more likely to arouse the desire of cultivators to buy it.

After all, most spiritual contracts in the Cultivation World are ineffective against Wood Demon. For example, the Peachwood Demon of the Ye Family cannot be controlled by ordinary Blood Pact.

In other words, Ye Jingcheng possesses Treasure Book that allows for Soul Pact.

However, it is still quite possible for a young Wood Demon to become a tree spirit if it is properly tamed.

Of course, the Ye Family has now developed a new Woodheart Blood Contract based on the Corpse Control Contract.

I haven't tried it yet.

After all, the Ye Family doesn't have any new Wood Demon.

"I'm sure everyone is looking forward to it!" Liu Yun smiled with a slight frown, and then her slender hands began to lift the jade box.

As the jade light was unveiled, the first thing that caught the eye was a dazzling burst of magical light from the Treasure Talisman.

Clearly, Spirit Talisman was affixed to prevent the Wood Demon from escaping.

But what appeared was an extremely fat, fleshy Flesh Ganoderma.

Everyone who saw it was stunned.

Because this Flesh Ganoderma looked so ordinary.

In the Cultivation World, Flesh Ganoderma are not uncommon, with the highest grade being only First-Tier Superior-Grade spirit medicine.

The Flesh Ganoderma before them looked rather ordinary; even though it was Wood Demon, it was just an ordinary Wood Demon.

"Don't underestimate this Flesh Ganoderma, everyone. Its growth ability is truly rare. Its only drawback is that Flesh Ganoderma consumes a great deal of Spiritual Qi!" Seeing that everyone's interest had waned considerably, Liu Yun quickly tore off a corner of the Spirit Talisman.

He then condensed Golden Sword Art in his hand and cut off a small portion of the Flesh Ganoderma.

However, to everyone's astonishment, the Flesh Ganoderma began to regrow in the blink of an eye.

However, the Spiritual Qi in the air was pulled towards this Flesh Ganoderma.

"This Flesh Ganoderma is sealed in a secret realm, obtained from the same place as the treasure map. As you've all seen, Flesh Ganoderma function is to provide an endless supply of Spirit Beast meat!"

"This would be excellent for fellow Daoists to open a butcher shop or raise Spirit Beast," Liu Yun said.

The Spirit Talisman was then reattached.

They were clearly afraid that the Ganoderma lucidum would absorb Spiritual Qi and grow even larger.

"Everyone, let's have a spiritual chef take a look!" Liu Yun spoke again.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was also looking at Flesh Ganoderma, and his expression became extraordinary.

As a novice spiritual chef, he could naturally sense that the meat of this Flesh Ganoderma was indeed similar to that of Spirit Beast, and also contained the spiritual power of the Spirit Beast's meat.

It has great benefits for both cultivators and Spirit Beast.

However, this Flesh Ganoderma seems to have evolved from an ordinary Flesh Ganoderma, and its growth potential may not be high.

However, just when Ye Jingcheng thought it was not a high level, the Flesh Ganoderma appeared on the Treasure Book, and it had advanced quite a few times.

This scene also made Ye Jingcheng's heart pound.

Based on the functions of this Flesh Ganoderma, it would be of great use to him and even the entire Ye Family.

After all, this Flesh Ganoderma can provide Spirit Beast meat, which can be used to raise Star-Eating Fish, as well as Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle and a host of other Spirit Beast.

Other cultivators might worry about the excessive growth of this Flesh Ganoderma, but Ye Jingcheng was not afraid. He estimated that the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon could eat as much as it could grow.

The latter's appetite is growing larger and larger, and Ye Jingcheng buys a considerable amount of Spirit Beast meat from his Lineage every month.

This is much better than Dense Forest Pig meat, after all, Dense Forest Pig don't breed very quickly, and they don't have as much Spiritual Qi.

It's unclear how much Spiritual Qi this Flesh Ganoderma consumes, and it's also unclear whether Flesh Ganoderma poses any other harms.

At that very moment, Liu Yun had already taken out a small portion of the Flesh Ganoderma and given it to a spirit rat at the early stage of the first tier.

Because this spirit rat's cultivation is too weak, it absolutely cannot withstand the harmful effects of the Flesh Ganoderma.

But clearly, there's nothing wrong with this Flesh Ganoderma; it's just growing too fast.

"As you can see, the starting bid is eight thousand Spirit Stone!" Liu Yun announced the price.

Initially, the announcement of this price elicited a very quiet response.

"Eight thousand one hundred Spirit Stone!" Ye Jingcheng added one hundred Spirit Stone symbolically after three breaths.

But once Ye Jingcheng set the first price, the others became even more interested.

Some people even wanted to study the Flesh Ganoderma, since it was found along with the map of the Eight Desolations Sect Beast Wasteland Minor World.

"Eight thousand two hundred!"

"Eight thousand three hundred!"

"Nine thousand Spirit Stone"

Ye Jingcheng shook his head as he looked at the ever-increasing prices.

Ultimately, this situation arose because there were too many hidden cultivators on the first floor; otherwise, ordinary cultivators wouldn't buy this.

Those who would buy it are mostly cultivation Lineage or sects.

Even through this bidding process, Ye Jingcheng could roughly determine how many forces were currently involved with the Taiyi Sect.

"Twelve thousand Spirit Stone!" No matter how high the bid was, Ye Jingcheng still had to bid.

With the price of 12,000 Spirit Stone announced, fewer people bid.

"Twelve thousand five hundred Spirit Stone!" Just then, the Jin Family called out their bid.

Once the price was announced, Ye Jingcheng stopped bidding, and the room suddenly became somewhat quiet.

Inside the Jin Family's room, Golden Jade Hall also became somewhat nervous.

To be honest, they estimated that this Flesh Ganoderma could only grow to the late stage of the first tier at most.

It is completely useless, but it is a major consumer of Spiritual Qi.

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi and the growth of the Flesh Ganoderma are not proportional; it is a pure, large resentment fungus.

That's why they used the fact of the treasure map to drive up the price.

He only made his bid after seeing Ye Jingcheng bid, and now he's starting to regret it.

Twelve thousand Spirit Stone is by no means a small amount; with a few Spirit Stone more, you could buy another Foundation Establishment.

"Twelve thousand six hundred Spirit Stone." Just when Golden Jade Hall thought he was about to lose them, Ye Jingcheng spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Golden Jade Hall breathed a sigh of relief.

I will never dare to overcharge again.

"Congratulations, senior!" Liu Yun was overjoyed. She knew that the Flesh Ganoderma belonged to the Jin Family, so she was also very nervous.

Fortunately, Ye Jingcheng bought it.

"Patriarch, this Ganoderma lucidum doesn't seem to be of much use!" Ye Jingyong said with some concern.

After all, the spirit rat didn't change much after eating it.

Ye Jingcheng, however, knew that with the Treasure Book, buying this Flesh Ganoderma would definitely not be a loss.

Even if it can't advance in rank, it's still good to simply serve as food for the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

"It's alright. This Flesh Ganoderma Demon is extremely beneficial to our research on Wood Demon," Ye Jingcheng replied.

Hearing this, Ye Jingyong still wanted to speak, since even research wouldn't require so many Spirit Stones.

But after thinking about it, I stopped myself.

He felt that perhaps his own vision was lacking and he couldn't see the long term. If his fourth brother were here, he would definitely support Ye Jingcheng.

"The final, ultimate magic Law Treasure, the Jade Fox Needle Talisman Treasure, is a mid-grade third-tier Talisman Treasure Law Treasure. If refined properly, even a Purple Mansion cultivator might not be able to escape it!" Liu Yun took out his last treasure and began to boast wildly.

Despite her beautiful appearance, Liu Yun is just as good at boasting as those old auctioneers with white beards.

This immediately piqued the interest of many cultivators.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng was an exception. He already had quite a few Talisman Treasure, and he also needed to prepare for the Purple Mansion. He still had a lot of spirit medicine and inner cores to buy in the future, so he naturally couldn't spend his time on a mid-grade third-tier Talisman Treasure.

However, the current results are quite good, which means that the Jin Family and Kong Family' auction was indeed a success.

Of course, unlike the Xu Family and Chu Family, seeing this probably brings some sorrow to their hearts. After all, the stronger the Jin Family and Kong Family become, the greater the suppression they exert on the two families.

Only the Ye Family's Spirit Beast shop and restaurant were unaffected; in fact, they experienced a small surge of activity.

As for the Ye Family's Pill Pavilion, it had already scaled back its efforts after the Kong Family arrived.

If a cultivator wants to buy, I'll sell; if not, I won't. It's just occupying a shop.

Moreover, because the Ye Family Ban Xu Order early, many Rogue Cultivator still come to the Ye Family to buy discounted elixirs.

After the auction ended, Ye Jingcheng headed towards his own restaurant.

The matter of the treasure map wasn't a huge deal, but it wasn't insignificant either; he had to inform Ye Haicheng about it.

Ye Jingcheng returned to the restaurant and went straight to Ye Haicheng.

Upon entering Ye Haicheng's room, Ye Jingcheng activated the Array.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng's caution, Ye Haicheng also frowned.

After Ye Jingcheng mentioned the treasure map, Ye Haicheng fell silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke:

"It's possible that it's true. The Lineage never had time to control the small worlds. Apart from those occupied by the Taiyi Sect, it's normal for the small worlds of the Beast Wasteland to be exposed."

"Now that you're the head of the Lineage, let me make some things clear to you," Ye Haicheng said after a moment's hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng's expression turned solemn.

This point tells him all the information about his Lineage, which gives him a sense of being entrusted with something.

"Currently, there are no Golden Core cultivators in the Lineage, and five of us, including myself, are at the Purple Mansion level. The Earth Dragon Demon King was once our Ye Family's Spirit Beast, but it doesn't accept the Ye Family's inheritance unless Ye Family surpasses it in cultivation. At present, only our Second Ancestor has a slight hope, but it's not high!"

"But the Earth Dragon Demon King owes three favors to the Ye Family, and he's already used two of them," Ye Haicheng said slowly, his voice full of helplessness.

In this chaotic world, the Purple Mansion Lineage is nothing.

That's why the Ye Family had been so patient and restrained before.

Only after the Ye Family received definite information about the Teleportation Array did they begin to plan and demonstrate the strength of the Purple Mansion Lineage.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng also sensed the urgency of the situation.

Judging from Red Glow Ridge, he felt that there should be True Person hiding in the Lineage, but he did not expect that it was just the Earth Dragon Demon King who owed a few favors.

"Half of the Lineage's heritage comes from the Beast Wasteland. As for where the other half comes from, I don't know either. I estimate that only your second great-uncle knows. Moreover, our Ye Family Lineage the Eight Desolations Sect less than a hundred years ago, and then something happened to the Eight Desolations Sect."

"Because of this, the other descendants of the Seven Desolations also deeply hate the Beast Wasteland. Fortunately, they know that the cultivators from the past all perished in that turmoil." Ye Haicheng sighed.

Clearly, this is a bad period in the Yu Family's history. Even after so many years, the Ye Family is still only Purple Mansion Lineage.

It's clear that the Ye Family has indeed had a difficult time all these years.

Perhaps the Ye Family has accumulated quite a bit of wealth among Foundation Establishment cultivators and Purple Mansion cultivators.

But ultimately, there was no Golden True Person.

That's why the Ye Family took the risk this time in the Red Glow Ridge Secret Realm.

Fortunately, the outcome was good; Ye Jingcheng brought back the Gold Condensation Fruit for the Lineage.

The Second Ancestor regained hope of condensing the elixir.

If the elixir is successfully condensed, and the Soul of the Second Ancestor is gathered by the Beast-Link Tower, perhaps some glory can be restored.

Of course, before that, the most important thing right now is how the Ye Family can withstand the investigation.

"Next, the Lineage will also focus on searching for small worlds!" Ye Haicheng said when he saw that Ye Jingcheng was also silent.

For other Lineage, becoming the head of the family in their fifties might be a good opportunity to prove themselves.

But for an upright and middle-aged cultivator, being the head of the Ye Family requires a lot of forbearance and a lot of acting.

This is also why the Clan Elder of the Ye Family have high hopes for Ye Jingcheng.

He is mentally and intellectually gifted and mature enough.

Of course, as long as the Ye Family is extricated from Taihang Commandery this time, the future path for the Ye Family to produce Nascent Soul Cultivator will be smooth sailing.

"Understood, Grandpa!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, and after understanding all this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the Earth Dragon Demon King can still help once.

This busy schedule also requires careful planning.

What Ye Jingcheng needs to consider is how to maximize his profits.

The Earth Dragon Demon King only owed a favor shows that the Demon Beast in the Taihang Mountain Range are also treasures that can be obtained.

Ye Jingcheng must find a way to obtain more Beast Soul to power up the Beast-Link Tower. Only in that way can he prepare for the Ye Family to produce more cultivators with Beast-Link Mark.

If the chances of succeeding with the character "Jing" are slim, then try with the characters "Qing" or "Yun"; one day they will succeed.

Returning to his room from Ye Haicheng's place, Ye Jingcheng also cleared his mind of all distractions.

Although the situation is not good, at least he now has the Flesh Ganoderma Demon. Even if the Ye Family's territory shrinks in the future, and the Spirit Beast Valley has to relocate or suffer heavy losses, he can still ensure that he can survive.

He can also use the Flesh Ganoderma to preserve the spiritual flesh needed by some of the Ye Family's Spirit Beast.

Having considered this, Ye Jingcheng also took out the Flesh Ganoderma to examine it.

Upon opening the jade box, one could see the Flesh Ganoderma, about a foot in diameter.

On the surface of the Flesh Ganoderma, there was a face, a face filled with unbearable pain, clearly caused by the seal of the Spirit Talisman and the jade box.

Ye Jingcheng followed Liu Yun's example, uncovering a corner and then cutting off a large piece of Flesh Ganoderma.

And sure enough, the Flesh Ganoderma fungus began to absorb Spiritual Qi and recovered considerably. Moreover, he noticed that there was still some soil at the bottom of the jade box.

It seems that soil is also a necessary substance in addition to Spiritual Qi.

After Ye Jingcheng and the other Flesh Ganoderma absorbed the spiritual Spiritual Qi and recovered, they sealed the Array again.

He then closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened them again.

"Given this level of Spiritual Qi absorption, the resulting spiritual and physical transformation is somewhat unsuccessful. If the Ye Family's Spirit Vein were abundant, it would be better," Ye Jingcheng estimated.

By discovering the extent to which a cultivator can grow after absorbing so much Spiritual Qi, and comparing this growth with that of the physical and spiritual body, a conclusion can be drawn quickly.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng cut off another piece and inputted the Treasure Radiance for testing.

Soon, he beamed with joy.

As expected, the Treasure Radiance can also increase the conversion rate of Flesh Ganoderma. Although he can't keep inputting Treasure Radiance, at least when Treasure Radiance is present, the conversion rate is profitable.

I just don't know if there's a limit to how long this Flesh Ganoderma can recover in a day.

Ye Jingcheng did not intend to test this; he planned to return to his Lineage's ancestral mountain, Soaring Cloud Peak, first.

First, test the Ye Family's contract to see if it works on the Wood Demon.

If it's useful, at least when the Ye Family encounters other Wood Demon in the future, he won't be the only one who can form a contract with them.

Compared to Spirit Beast, the role of Wood Demon was, in his opinion, far superior.

Both the longevity peach and the Flesh Ganoderma are very helpful to the Ye Family.
