Spirit Vein Advancement; the Bai Family's Spirit-Calling Talisman?

Inside the night market, the Dark Cloud in the sky seemed to dissipate somewhat with the passage of time, and the moonlight became a little brighter.

The sunlight shone on Ye Jingcheng, giving him a touch of coolness.

Ye Jingcheng was still a little unaccustomed to this semi-open-air night market, but he had to admit that the setup made him feel much more at ease, even subconsciously.

It's as if you can escape anywhere here.

This is also why night markets are becoming increasingly popular.

But in fact, Ye Jingcheng shouldn't have been so careless.

The corpse of the Martial Peak cultivator was still being auctioned off, and to Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the cultivator who had left soon returned.

Her face was not yet visible due to the veil separating her from the spirits, but her eyes had calmed down.

And he participated in the auction again, and in the end, he spent 138,000 Spirit Stone, clearly buying back the corpse from an Evil Cultivator from the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

The cultivator whose body was stolen was also clicking his tongue incessantly.

It seemed as if they were looking down on the Taiyi Sect.

It was as if it were cursing that the materials for refining corpses had been stolen.

The Martial Peak cultivator remained silent, continuing to participate in the trade fair in quiet contemplation.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Ye Jingcheng knew that the cultivator had gone out to send a telepathic message to the higher-ups of the Taiyi Sect, but it was clear that the higher-ups' reply was that he should not act rashly and should buy the corpse.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng felt that the waters of this group of Nascent Soul forces were very deep, and the policies of the Green River Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Sect had to be said to have been successful.

After this incident, there will inevitably be some discord between the Taiyi Sect and Medicine King Valley.

Meanwhile, Medicine King Valley seems to be reminding Taiyi Sect be mindful of their status, since it was Medicine King Valley that saved Taiyi Sect this time.

The Taiyi Sect had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill.

Most cultivators would think that what they were seeing was just minor squabbles among sect disciples, as if they were simply following the rules.

But there's a lot more to following the rules than meets the eye.

Ye Jingcheng pondered this for a moment, only to feel a bit of a headache. These major sects, as expected of powerful forces with Nascent Soul, were truly ruthless when it came to devising schemes.

While Ye Jingcheng was pondering, Manager Qing above did not stop, but clapped his hands and continued the auction of the treasures.

The following treasures are all extremely precious and rare, including mysterious meteorite Spirit Material and mysterious Spirit Beast eggs.

Powerful, rare, and precious are the common characteristics of the items in this auction.

Especially the Spirit Beast egg, this is a Cloud Roc egg, which can advance three times. Although Ye Jingcheng doesn't need it, it's still extremely good for the Lineage cultivators.

Keep in mind that this spirit egg has already reached the late stage of the first tier even before it has hatched, and it is very likely that it will be able to reach the peak of the first tier upon birth.

But after much deliberation, Ye Jingcheng decided to give up.

First, Cloud Roc's prices are too high.

Secondly, as Qing Guanzhu implied, this spirit roc egg was laid by the Fourth Stage Azure Cloud Roc Demon King of the Beast Spirit Sect.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng became somewhat suspicious.

After all, whenever the Azure Spirit Commerce Association encounters something a little rare, they say it was consigned by someone else for auction. Is it really true that many people consign items for auction?

Ye Jingcheng even felt that the Azure Spirit Night Market was actually where Zhao Kingdom's Medicine King Valley disposed of stolen goods.

When it came to the thirteenth treasure, a third-tier Kun fish Essence Blood appeared.

This is perfect for refining a third-tier Roc Fish Pill.

This time, Ye Jingcheng naturally made an offer.

After all, at the Purple Mansion Trade Fair, he talked about high-grade Peachwood wood, peach heart, Seven-Leaf Flower, and other precious materials, but he didn't mention the Essence Blood needed by the Roc Fish.

It took 160,000 Spirit Stone to acquire this Essence Blood.

A full twelve drops, which was the most Ye Jingcheng had ever bought.

The Kun fish is similar to the Roc Fish; both are large-sized spirit fish and contain a trace of Kunpeng bloodline. Naturally, they have a lot of spiritual blood, which can be used to refine third-tier Roc Fish Pill.

Of course, for most cultivators, such Essence Blood is either used to enhance the strength of Spirit Beast or used by Body Cultivator to nourish their bodies.

Therefore, for Ye Jingcheng, this level of competitiveness is not strong enough.

However, after these few auction items, the number of Spirit Stone in Ye Jingcheng's Storage Bag had still shrunk significantly.

The next treasures included Purple Palace Jade Liquid and a high-grade Xuan-level cultivation Cultivation Method that could be cultivated to the Late Golden Core.

It's fair to say that each one is more popular than the last.

Despite the initial hype, Ye Jingcheng didn't make any further moves.

He displayed a cultivation level of early Purple Mansion, and his excessive spending would easily arouse suspicion. Moreover, such treasures are more suitable to be acquired at an auction.

Once the twenty auctioned items are sold, free trading will commence.

One by one, the cultivators began exchanging treasures or auctioning them off.

Most of these treasures were acquired through barter, but there were also those, like Ye Jingcheng, who auctioned off the Law Treasure they had looted.

Ye Jingcheng also managed to acquire quite a few spirit medicine through free trade.

These spirit medicine are all ordinary third-tier spirit medicine, which can be used to refine elixirs that enhance cultivation.

Ye Jingcheng also took the opportunity to take out his unused Law Treasure, exchanged them all for Spirit Stone, and returned with over 100,000 Spirit Stone.

After a short while, Ye Jingcheng saw someone take out Fourth Stage Peachwood wood heart again. This Peachwood wood heart was called Thunder Peachwood Heart, which was a mutated Peachwood after being struck by lightning.

It is said that it can be used to forge Law Treasure that can withstand Lightning Tribulation.

Ye Jingcheng naturally shook his head at this.

He hadn't expected that the person in the shadows was still trying to seduce him.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Jingcheng left first.

Although many people had not yet retrieved their treasures, Ye Jingcheng was not greedy.

This time, he obtained the Essence Blood of a third-tier Kun fish, as well as a third-tier Spirit Eye Spring and a considerable amount of spirit medicine and pills, making his harvest quite impressive.

Moreover, not many people are leaving now. Once more people leave, it won't be so easy to leave later.

However, what Ye Jingcheng found strange was that the two Purple Mansion cultivators who had won the auction for his Seven-Leaf Flower and the Xuanhu Peachwood Wood Heart had also left before him.

Furthermore, it was divided into two directions.

Ye Jingcheng didn't follow. If the auction itself might be a trap, then the winning bid might also be a trap.

So he changed direction and flew over a hundred miles away from Taichang Market, landing in a deserted mountain stream. Seeing that no one was following him, he jumped into the water.

Emerging from the other side of the mountain stream, he slowly changed into a Spirit-Isolating Robe and headed towards Taichang Market.

Ye Jingcheng didn't spend much time on the way.

This time, he was Spirit Control Golden Falcon.

The enhanced Metal Release technique made him extremely fast.

After Ye Jingcheng returned to the market, Ye Jingcheng also took out a pill bottle and placed it on the third floor of the Ye Family's One Leaf Pavilion.

It was indeed a third-tier Purple Spirit Pill.

This proves that he was refining elixirs during this period.

Whether others believe him or not is not important, but it is enough that most of the Ye Family members know that he is refining pills.

After placing the elixir, Ye Jingcheng returned to his room, activated the Array, entered the Grotto-Heaven, and began taking out the jade box, heading towards the original Spirit Eye Spring.

Seemingly sensing the spiritual Spiritual Qi of the Spirit Eye Spring, the Wood Demon in the distance was the first to awaken.

After breaking through to the late stage of the second tier, the Peachwood's crown becomes larger, and it has already begun to flower. It is only five years away from bearing fruit.

"Master, this is..." The shadowy figures of the Stone Spirit and the Flesh Ganoderma followed habitually behind the Wood Demon.

The Stone Spirit is now quite intelligent, comparable to an adult cultivator, while the Flesh Ganoderma's intelligence remains that of a child.

Moreover, even the Flesh Ganoderma no longer needs to be trapped by Array; it has been clearly told how much Spiritual Qi to consume each day and how much spiritual flesh to produce.

"With this Spirit Eye Spring, it should be good for both of you beasts!" Ye Jingcheng replied with a smile.

This Spirit Eye Spring can enhance the strength of the Spirit Vein, so it can naturally be considered as nourishing the Grotto-Heaven.

Ye Jingcheng unveiled the Array on the jade box, and immediately felt a surge of rich Spiritual Qi, which made Ye Jingcheng, who had changed his Cultivation Method, feel very comfortable.

The spiritual spring within the Spirit Jade was relocated exceptionally well, even better than the spiritual spring Ye Jingcheng had previously relocated within the Desolation-Suppressing Secret Realm.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng did not spend much effort to place this spiritual spring next to the original spiritual spring, and then used the Secret Method of the Ye Family's previous relocation to connect the two springs.

As the last spiritual incantation was cast, a rainbow light appeared between the two spiritual springs and they began to connect.

Immediately, spiritual water gathered, forming a faint layer of spiritual mist that lingered above the spring for a long time.

This immediately delighted Ye Jingcheng.

This kind of spiritual mist can only gather in areas with extremely rich Spiritual Qi.

This also signifies the extreme success of the Lingquan relocation.

Boom!

The Jade-Scale Flood Dragon in the distance also broke out of the water, its body even larger, and its bright dragon eyes showed great interest in the Spirit Eye Spring.

After all, the Spiritual Qi here is extremely concentrated.

Also leaping up was the Roc Fish, which had just advanced to the peak of the second tier.

Of course, with the commotion, all the other Spirit Beast turned to look at Ye Jingcheng.

The Golden-Scaled Beast roared, and the Five-Colored Cloud Deer and Crimson Flame Fox leaped over as well.

Even the hundreds of Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle in the insect chamber all took flight and circled over.

"You must not attack the Spirit Spring before it is stabilized and advances to the middle grade of the third rank!" Ye Jingcheng warned in a low voice.

These spiritual waters aren't just useful for Water Attribute Spirit Beast, so he naturally couldn't let all the Spirit Beast consume them prematurely.

The two beasts to be most wary of are the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Roc Fish.

Therefore, his gaze lingered mostly on the two beasts.

After setting up the spirit spring, Ye Jingcheng didn't stop there. He took out the Spirit Gathering Formation and the spirit guiding Spirit Stone and began to set them up as well.

Then he placed down a full ten high-grade Spirit Stone.

As the Spirit Stone began to reflect each other's light, the Array was activated.

The torrent of Spiritual Qi instantly stirred up a dazzling golden light, and in an instant, all the surrounding Spiritual Qi converged towards the spiritual spring.

The Spirit Vein energy within the Grotto-Heaven had also reached the third-tier strength.

However, it contains significantly more water-based Spiritual Qi.

Ye Jingcheng quickly set up several more Array to stabilize and isolate the Spirit Eye Spring, preventing any Spirit Insect from accidentally entering it.

"Master, I feel like I'm cultivating even faster!" The Peachwood Demon was also extremely excited.

Its roots are closest to the Spirit Eye Spring, even though it hasn't been able to absorb any spiritual water.

However, the Spiritual Qi it gathers also places it in the area where Spiritual Qi is most concentrated.

This is greatly beneficial to both its physical growth and cultivation.

Ye Jingcheng possessed the Wood Demon's Beast Communion, and could sense it at this moment.

"You need to work harder. The other five beasts have all broken through to the third rank. Even if you are Wood Demon, it won't look good if your cultivation level is too low!" Ye Jingcheng said.

The Peachwood Demon nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. Peachwood will diligently cultivate day and night, bringing blessings to the Grotto-Heaven, and will surely bear even more and larger peaches for you..."

"Stop! Practice more and talk less!" Ye Jingcheng repeatedly shouted at Peachwood, waving his hand to make it return to its original form.

Ye Jingcheng also distributed some spirit pills to the group of Spirit Beast, especially the Roc Fish. This time, he gave it even more spirit pills, which made the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon somewhat Qi Ingestion. It roared repeatedly, as if it wanted to compete with the Roc Fish.

Ye Jingcheng gave Jade-Scale Flood Dragon some more Spirit Beast meat, which made Jade-Scale Flood Dragon beam with joy and repeatedly call out "Master".

In fact, the elixir consumed by the Roc Fish is far more valuable than the meat of these Spirit Beasts.

After all, he had already gathered all the materials for the third-tier Roc Fish Pill, and he was just waiting for the Roc Fish to break through to the third tier before he could consume it.

Although he is not lacking in combat power at the third rank of the Purple Mansion, Ye Jingcheng still has high expectations for Roc Fish's Five-Colored Spirit Bubble Art.

After feeding the Spirit Beast, Ye Jingcheng didn't refine any pills. Instead, he left the Grotto-Heaven. The auction was in one day, and he needed to make some preparations.

Just then, Ye Jingcheng suddenly noticed that there were cultivators waiting on the third floor of the Ye Family Pill Pavilion, and a sound transmission Spirit Talisman flew to Ye Jingcheng's front.

"It was him!" Ye Jingcheng held the communication talisman, changed into the robes he wore when refining pills, and then took out a furnace, released Spirit Flame, and warmed up a few refined pills.

He then put the elixir back into the bottle and headed towards the Ye Family's Pill Pavilion.

Before long, he arrived at the third floor, where Ye Jingli was entertaining two middle-aged cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng naturally recognized one of them; it was Zhang Yuhuai from the Zhang Family, who had previously helped Ye Jingcheng refine Law Treasure.

The other person was someone Ye Jingcheng had never met before.

But he was wearing a blue Daoist robe embroidered with blue and white flowers.

Ye Jingcheng, however, had a rough idea of where the person came from.

"I was in such a hurry to refine the pills that I kept Brother Zhang waiting!" Ye Jingcheng calmly placed a bottle of spirit pills on the shelf next to him and set up a spirit shield.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this is Fellow Daoist Bai from Medicine King Valley, and also a member of the Heavenly Stem Bai Family of the Zhao Kingdom!" Zhang Yuhuai introduced.

"Bai Yuanqing from the Heavenly Stem Bai Family!" Bai Yuanqing introduced himself.

"Brother Bai, Ye Jingcheng of the Soaring Cloud Ye Family. I have long admired you!" Ye Jingcheng also cupped his hands in greeting, and then looked at Ye Jingyun.

"How could you take ordinary second-grade Floating Cloud Tea!" Ye Jingcheng said reproachfully.

Then, without making a sound, he took out the Purple Poria Tea and poured spiritual tea for both of them again.

This scene caused both of them to freeze in shock.

Obviously, Ye Jingcheng didn't expect that Tianfu True Person died, he still had so much Purple Poria Tea.

This shows that the Ye Family and Illusion Peak are no ordinary people!

"Fellow Daoist Ye is a disciple of Tianfu True Person, and you've already reached the Purple Mansion before the age of eighty. Please don't blame me for being presumptuous!"

"Not at all, not at all!" Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, but soon his brows furrowed.

"However, Fellow Daoist Bai, what kind of ancient Spirit Talisman that on your chest? It's so miraculous!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly asked.

These words startled Zhang Yuhuai, who then looked at Bai Yuanqing.

This isn't some ancient Spirit Talisman; it's clearly Spirit-Inquiring Talisman.
