Spirit Mine as Bait; The Situation in Taiqing
Taichang Market, Ye Family Shop, the crimson sunset hangs eternally in the sky.
The reflection cast a reddish hue on all the buildings, even on the newly planted Spring Welcoming Tea in the courtyard.
The combination of green and red made the Ye Family members feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Ye Jingcheng's face was rosy, and he found the Spring Welcoming Tea to have a unique beauty.
Having left Taichang Market, he not only received Secret Method as a reward from Tianfu True Person, but also made connections with Liu Huan.
It will be easier for him to exchange for some precious spirit medicine in the future.
Naturally, everything I see seems to resonate with me.
He strode into the courtyard and found that Ye Xingyi and the others had prepared a large feast of spiritual food.
It was already closing time at the shop, Ye Xingyi was acting as the head chef, while Ye Jingyu, Ye Jingyu Ye Jinghao, and the others were busy assisting him.
These spiritual delicacies meant little to Ye Jingcheng, but they were extremely tempting to Ye Jinghu and Ye Jingting.
Their cultivation level is currently low, but eating a good spiritual meal can significantly increase their cultivation level.
"Patriarch, it's been a long time since we've done a summary of the Ye Family's Taichang Market. Compared to last year, our Ye Family's market revenue has doubled. It's good that you're here; you can give everyone a boost," Ye Xingyi said.
Ye Jingcheng nodded. He naturally understood the signal that Uncle Xingyi was giving him; it seemed that Ye Jinghe had already made some progress.
Moreover, the profits from the market have indeed increased significantly over the past year.
Not to mention that with the auction now in full swing, there are even more cultivators in the market, and they can sell half a day's worth or even a month's worth of goods every day.
This is partly due to the Ye Family's rising reputation, and also because Ye Xingyi is now able to refine Jade Soul Pill and Bloodrage Pill using the Ye Family's unique Six-Part Alchemy Method and Spirit-Enhancing Secret Art.
In this way, the impact of Ye Jingcheng's departure was greatly reduced.
These two Secret Method were given to Ye Jingcheng Ye Xingyi by Ye Jingcheng after he consulted Ye Xuefu last year.
Of course, the most crucial factor was the contraction of the Kong Family's power that year, which freed up a large market area.
The Ye Family is also a beneficiary of this.
After the spiritual dishes were displayed to everyone, Ye Xingyi took out a lot of spiritual wine.
These spirit wines were all served in jade pots, which shimmered like rippling blue water and were extremely beautiful.
The spirit wine was still Blue Wave Wine. This was not because the Ye Family was stingy, but because the Ye Family had bought too much Blue Wave Wine before and it was difficult to sell. Therefore, the Ye Family Lineage been consuming it internally.
"Patriarch, let me offer you a toast first!" After everyone was seated at the long table, Ye Xingyi immediately offered a toast to Ye Jingcheng.
For the Ye Family, Ye Jingcheng is indeed Ye Family hope at this moment.
The Ye Family's ability to maintain its current growth is largely due to the close relationship between Tianfu True Person Taihao Master, as well as Ye Family Ye Jingcheng's talent, which has led many Lineage to give the Ye Family preferential treatment.
As Ye Xingyi a toast, the other members of the Ye Family also toasted Ye Jingcheng.
After drinking a certain amount of alcohol, Ye Jingcheng's face turned slightly red, and his eyes narrowed slightly, as if the alcohol had taken full effect.
Ye Xingyi then abruptly asked:
"Patriarch, our target this time should be the Purple Palace Jade Liquid!"
Ye Xingyi's words startled everyone present.
After all, the Purple Palace Jade Liquid is of great importance, and generally, those who want to buy it are already at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, or even the peak Foundation Establishment stage.
Therefore, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Ye Jingcheng.
"Yes, that's true. However, the price of Purple Palace Jade Liquid is very high, Lineage must start mining spirit mines as soon as possible." Ye Jingcheng nodded.
They didn't say much.
But these words, when they reached the eyes of the crowd, immediately stirred them to great excitement.
This suggests that the Ye Family will likely soon regain its status as Purple Mansion Lineage.
Of course, everyone was also puzzled as to when the Lineage acquired a mysterious Spirit Vein.
Even now, it's being compared to Ye Haicheng's breakthrough in the Ye Family.
After all, the Lineage's financial records have always been accurate, and they certainly didn't support the purchase of the Purple Palace Jade Liquid to help Ye Haicheng break through.
But Ye Haicheng's success indicates that the Ye Family did indeed have hidden benefits.
However, the question of where this profit came from prompted these members of the Ye Family to begin speculating.
Ye Jinghe listened most attentively.
Unfortunately, Ye Jingcheng didn't continue speaking, and Ye Xingyi didn't ask any further questions.
This piqued his curiosity, making him want to ask, but he knew he didn't know where to begin.
"Patriarch, I've noticed a significant increase in Foundation Establishment cultivators in the market recently, and many of them exude a heavy Sha Qi." This time, it was Ye Jinghu who spoke.
With his Thunder Spirit Root, he was very sensitive to strong Sha Qi, and naturally, the Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle was also sensitive to it.
Ye Jingcheng was not surprised by this, after all, the Purple Palace Jade Liquid and Foundation Establishment were about to be auctioned here.
Of course, in Ye Jingcheng's view, there might be some hidden reasons behind this.
"Many Rogue Cultivator must have come here because of its reputation. This time, the Purple Palace Jade Liquid will probably be cheaper than last time, even without the competition from the Jin Family Kong Family Zhang Family." Ye Jingcheng sighed.
He then added, "Be careful these next few days, especially with requests for treasure maps and treasure hunts. Be smart about it."
Ye Jinghu Ye Jingting nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would pay attention. Then it was time to eat the spiritual food again.
Ye Jinghu's physical body was clearly stronger; he could eat a lot, his face turning red and his whole body radiating spiritual light before he stopped.
Ye Jingting and Ye Jinghe, on the other hand, had already started watching from their seats and were meditating in their minds.
As the banquet drew to a close, Ye Xingyi also stood up. He looked at Ye Jingcheng and took out a Jade Slip, which everyone assumed was to hand over the recent income and expenditure of the Ye Family's shops.
At the same time, Ye Xingyi also gave Ye Jingcheng a Storage Bag.
"Patriarch, we might need to arrange for a few more clansmen to be stationed at Taichang Market here," Ye Xingyi said again.
"Let's wait a few years. Our Lineage's Cloud-Spreading Valley also needs people," Ye Jingcheng replied after a moment of silence.
However, after reading the Jade Slip, Ye Jingcheng's expression improved again.
In the eyes of Ye Jinghu and others, Ye Jingcheng was looking at the Lineage's improving income and finances, but what Ye Jingcheng was actually looking at was the portrait of the Feather Transformation Sect.
Ye Jinghe was actually communicating with the Feather Transformation Sect; no wonder they were able to promise him a Foundation Establishment.
At first, the Ye Family thought that Feather Transformation Sect was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment Lineage.
But last time, it was clear from the Corpse Daoist's soul search that the Green River Sect Feather Transformation Sect might just be a pawn that the Qinghe Sect was using in the open.
He came from an ordinary Lineage, but he made enemies with other affiliated forces. Over time, the battles raged, and most of the cultivators perished. It was only natural that the Green River Sect would take their place, and no one knew the truth behind it.
After all, replacing a large sect with a small subordinate force is a pipe dream and a completely unprofitable endeavor.
After the personnel changes, they began to infiltrate the sects within the territory of the Taiyi Sect.
Ye Jingcheng actually suspected that the Jade Cloud Yuan Family might be related to the Feather Transformation Sect.
After all, it was quite obvious that the Yuan Family came to Taihang Marketplace with a purpose, and they even gave the Ye Family the Earthflame Fire Sha.
Other Lineage, faced with the Beast Tide, would not voluntarily go to Taihang Commandery.
Only the Green River Sect, which wants to continue instigating Beast Tide and escalating conflicts between the Taiyi Sect and the Demon Race, would have such a need.
As for the Wei Family, it's likely a compromise by the other peaks of the Taiyi Sect.
They were clearly much more assertive than the Yuan Family.
"Everyone should get some rest. The auction will be held in three days, and there should be quite a few items up for auction." Ye Jingcheng concluded the banquet.
They then headed towards the central left room.
This was also the room he used to live in. Because of the departure of the Chu Family, many rooms became vacant, so Ye Xingyi had been keeping it for Ye Jingcheng.
Once inside the room, the rosy complexion on Ye Jingcheng's face vanished instantly. He set up Array in the room, then took out the Stone Spirit and let it absorb it.
Inside the Grotto-Heaven, the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Wood Demon Soil-Turning Earthworm were also breaking through, and their Spiritual Qi was being consumed very quickly. Naturally, they had to make good use of this market, since the Ye Family had to spend 16,000 Spirit Stone on rent every year, which was comparable to more than half a Foundation Establishment.
He took out the Jade Slip again and glanced at it, then shook his head and looked at it again.
A moment later, Ye Xingyi also came in.
Ye Xingyi's face remained perfectly calm, as if he hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol at the banquet.
The information that was leaked earlier was nothing more than a ploy to lure the wolf into the house.
Instead of constantly guarding against Ye Jinghe, it's better to get him to reveal everything at once.
Ye Jinghe's transaction involved a Foundation Establishment and the sale of some information about the Ye Family. The Spirit Vein that could be used to purchase the Purple Palace Jade Liquid was merely the bait.
He believed that even the secretive Feather Transformation Sect and the Yuan Family would be tempted.
Their vague statements were also intended to convince Ye Jinghe.
"Patriarch, the information I've gathered in secret is that the Eight Desolations Sect's treasures have fallen into the hands of Kong Guxiang of the Kong Family. Now that Kong Guxiang is dead, all the evidence against the Eight Desolations Relic is pointing towards the Taiyi Sect!"
"So there are more blood cultivators and other Rogue Cultivator in the market," Ye Xingyi said.
"It's alright, the Lineage won't get involved. It's obvious that a major sect wants to make a move against the Taiyi Sect." Ye Jingcheng shook his head.
At this point, the Ye Family was not involved.
"In addition, it seems that the Taiyi Sect is supporting Lineage in Taiqing Commandery. As long as they go to Taiqing Commandery, they can be given a quota to purchase Purple Palace Jade Liquid without having to participate in the auction."
"In addition, the Foundation Establishment secretly flow out of Taiqing Marketplace are also the most numerous." Ye Xingyi relayed the information he had gathered.
After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, Ye Xingyi refining elixirs and started inquiring about other things.
After all, he no longer needs to constantly monitor his Qi and Blood and qi at the age of sixty, giving him much more time.
"Well, it's actually a good thing for the Lineage. Also, let's communicate with the Wan Family," Ye Jingcheng suddenly said.
If it's the future, and the Taiyi Sect really does clash with the Green River Sect, the Ye Family will definitely be summoned as well; it's unavoidable.
It's time to prepare in advance.
The Wan Family is also Lineage of Spirit Beast, and they are extremely good at Spirit Insect and swordsmanship.
Wan Hongchang and Ye Jingcheng had a fairly good relationship!
