Heavenly Wood Puppet, Blood King Pill
On the street, it wasn't just Ye Jingcheng and his Ye Family members present at that moment.
The other cultivators were also astonished by the sheer size of the auction and the abundance of treasures.
Moreover, this is different from previous auctions, where only the grand finale treasures would attract competition among cultivators. Now, even ordinary treasures are enough to tempt many Purple Mansion cultivators.
Among the final treasures, there are likely to be so many Purple Mansion cultivators that they won't even have a chance to bid.
After all, the starting price for these final treasures could be several hundred thousand Spirit Stone.
"This..." Ye Jingli shocked, then felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
He discovered that, apart from Foundation Establishment, there were almost no other treasures he could buy.
Basically, the lowest quality items are all second-tier or above.
Moreover, even second-tier treasures are extremely rare, and first-tier treasures are practically unheard of.
"Sixth Brother, there will be another low-level auction tomorrow. For most Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, this auction is just to broaden their horizons!" Ye Jingcheng added with a smile.
As they walked and talked, the group quickly arrived at the auction hall.
The enormous hall was even more magnificent and grand than before, especially the plaque, which seemed to have been replaced, possessing a unique and indescribable charm.
Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but take a few more glances, but the charm seemed rather shallow. After watching for a while without gaining anything, Ye Jingcheng turned his head away.
Of course, Ye Jingcheng also saw many familiar faces along the way, including Zhang Yuhuai Zhang Yujing from the Zhang Family, Jin Zhantang from the Jin Family, the Kong Family, the Jia Family who had recently cooperated with the Ye Family, the Azure Cloud Nunnery with whom he had a marriage alliance, and other powerful figures.
Ye Jingcheng didn't see the Wan Family and Cheng Family from Taiqing Commandery. Normally, people would participate in such auctions, and even the Cloud Lake Wei Family was participating at this time.
Having ceded Idle Cloud Mountain, the Wei Family seems to be living even more comfortably these days. Although they only have one Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator, their relationship with the Ye Family has improved, and they have even gained the support of the Taiyi Sect.
At this moment, there is a trend of their fortunes soaring.
Ye Jingcheng also greeted the familiar cultivators one by one. Although he didn't say much, it was all a gesture of goodwill.
He was especially polite to the Jia Family, the Zhang Family, Ye Jingcheng.
The former is a partner of the Ye Family Future Chamber of Commerce, while the latter represents an opportunity for the Ye Family's future development.
In the corner, Ye Jingcheng also saw the Xun Family of Returning Goose Commandery. The Xun Family sent a Foundation Establishment named Xun Taishou, but no Purple Mansion cultivators came.
However, Xun Taishou had a simple expression, sometimes laughing loudly, sometimes angry.
He seems extremely naive.
Upon seeing Ye Jingcheng glance at him, and even occasionally returning Ye Jingcheng smile, Ye Jingcheng coldly stared at the Xun Family cultivator.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, the Taiyi Sect was watching from above. The Xun Family cultivator was looking at the Ye Family in such an ambiguous way, not to show goodwill to the Ye Family, but to smear the Ye Family.
This made the Taiyi Sect suspicious of the Ye Family.
After all, the Ye Family and the Wan Family had a complicated relationship before, and now they have an unclear relationship with the Xun Family. Putting everything else aside, Xuandao True Person will definitely be furious.
If Ye Jingcheng hadn't already received the message from Ye Haicheng through the Lineage Token...
He even suspected that this was a warning from the Xun Family.
But he knew that this was because the affiliated Lineage of the inland sects were not easy to control, and Ye Haicheng did not have many helpers.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also felt that the matter of the Pill Wasteland Secret Realm might need to be expedited, otherwise, if it dragged on, the Xun Family would definitely run into trouble.
While Ye Jingcheng was pondering, the group entered the enormous auction venue, where a sense of grandeur, brilliance, and opulence immediately enveloped them.
The venue for this auction was clearly meticulously arranged, with a much higher level of sophistication and class.
The seats at the auction were also more densely packed, likely accommodating 20,000 cultivators.
The crowd of cultivators was densely packed, making it more bustling than any previous auction.
It even had a grand, sermon-like feel to it.
After all, in previous auctions, there were usually many cultivators on the first and second floors, but today there are quite a few cultivators on the third and fourth floors.
The Ye Family is now Purple Mansion Lineage, so they can naturally have a private room on the second floor. However, because there are too many Purple Mansion cultivators, this private room is obviously much smaller, as it has clearly been divided into multiple private rooms by the Taiyi Sect.
This will allow more cultivators of the Purple Mansion to be settled.
However, there were still some spiritual teas and fruits in the private room. Although they weren't the best teas or fruits, they would still cost a few Spirit Stone if you wanted to buy them.
Ye Jingli was the first to pick up a spirit fruit and start eating it.
Since he was just watching a show anyway, he might as well enjoy it while eating and drinking. If Ye Jingcheng hadn't had other things to do and had to maintain his image, he would have taken out some wine and started drinking with Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng glanced at it but didn't say much. He then looked at Ye Jingyun beside him, who was explaining auction techniques to Ye Qingyan and some younger colleagues.
He's much more reliable than his sixth brother.
Ye Jingcheng was also extremely gratified.
Every action of the Lineage is not just for gaining knowledge, but also for passing on traditions, including Daoist techniques and combat skills, as well as experience and insights.
However, he knew what kind of person his sixth brother was, and it would only make things difficult for him if he were to teach him in a rigid and formal manner.
However, Ye Jingli later got involved, occasionally adding his own comment, which could be considered a brilliant touch.
Before long, as a cultivator dressed in a crimson Pill Furnace robe stepped out from the high platform, the arena began to quiet down.
"Welcome, fellow practitioners and seniors, to this auction jointly hosted by the Taiyi Sect and Medicine King Valley. I, Jin An, will be in charge of hosting this auction. As with any other auction, the highest bidder wins. If you don't have enough Spirit Stone, you can use treasures as collateral, which will be discounted to 90% of their market value!"
"Furthermore, after this auction concludes, a grand ascension ceremony for both sects will be held in the Taichang Mountain Range to thank all fellow cultivators for their support!" Jin'an True Person is a cultivator from Dharma Peak, a renowned third-tier top-grade Alchemist, and his cultivation level is at the peak of the Purple Mansion.
Like Master Tianzhen, he is one of the most promising cultivators in the Taiyi Sect to advance to the Golden Core stage.
After his brief explanation, he clapped his hands. Behind him, several female cultivators walked up with light, graceful steps, carrying two redwood spirit plates!
"I believe everyone has seen this first treasure in the Crimson Sky Curtain. This treasure is a third-tier Heavenly Wood Puppet, a wooden puppet left behind by the Eight Desolations Sect 'Puppet Wasteland. Its strength is comparable to that of the Purple Mansion cultivator, and it will never betray you. It only requires a high-grade Spirit Stone to protect Purple Mansion Lineage's fortune. If placed on Spirit Vein, it can be nurtured regularly, and its power will not decrease but increase!" Jin'an True Person spoke with great enthusiasm, and then lifted the red cloth off the plate.
With a single spiritual incantation, a section of wide wood transformed into a wooden warrior puppet, unleashing a flurry of punches.
Accompanied by a thunderous sound of air being torn apart, a ripple of Spiritual Qi energy was stirred up and spread outwards.
Ye Jingcheng was somewhat shocked and even a little tempted when he saw the Heavenly Wood Puppet.
Of course, he wasn't interested in the Heavenly Wood Puppet's strength, but rather wanted to study the Spirit Puppet.
After all, the Ye Family already possesses the Five Elements Heavenly Armor Puppet.
We might gain more by studying this together.
In addition, it was once one of the Eight Desolations Sect of the Eight Desolations Sect, a treasure of the Puppet Wasteland.
Ye Jingcheng was even more interested.
It is said that there were once six kinds of spirit puppets in the Puppet Wasteland: wooden puppets that could be nurtured, eerie and terrifying blood puppets, savage and ferocious beast puppets, Flying Puppet that could perform magic in place of others, Gu puppets that could absorb energy and possess spirits, and magic puppets that were similar to the Heavenly Armor Corpse!
This Heavenly Wood Puppet belongs to the first type, and as long as it doesn't involve combat, it doesn't require Spirit Stone, making it more economical than the Ye Family's Heavenly Armor Puppet in some aspects.
"The starting bid for this Heavenly Wood Puppet is 100,000 Spirit Stone! Each bid must be at least 1,000 spirit stones!" Jin'an True Person announced directly after finishing his introduction.
This opening effectively blocked out most of the cultivators.
After all, at most three hundred people can enter the Purple Mansion.
There aren't many top-tier Foundation Establishment Lineage.
Not many people can come up with 100,000 Spirit Stone.
However, it was clear that Ye Jingcheng had underestimated these Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators at the first level.
Bidding continued intermittently, with small increases but numerous calls.
Firstly, there are high-level cultivators hidden among them; secondly, it is clear that there are also wealthy cultivators among those who Foundation Establishment stages.
After all, there are always cultivators who receive unexpected windfalls.
Although it's said that a child can possess gold, this is, after all, the Taichang Market, and the Heavenly Wood Puppet he bought can be activated by attaching a high-grade Spirit Stone.
It's not like buying a useless, hot commodity.
"120,000 Spirit Stone!" Ye Jingcheng also called out a price.
He hadn't understood why so many Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators had been summoned.
Now it seems that this auction is clearly trying to use these cultivators to drive up prices and create the atmosphere of a grand auction.
It also allows you to earn a considerable amount of Spirit Stone, making it a win-win situation.
However, his price was quickly overshadowed by other factors.
"121,000 Spirit Stone!"
"122,000 Spirit Stone!"
Ye Jingcheng finally managed to bid 150,000 Spirit Stone!
However, he underestimated the madness of the other Purple Mansion cultivators and those Foundation Establishment Lineage.
After all, the Purple Palace Jade Liquid may not necessarily give birth to the Purple Mansion cultivator, but Purple Mansion puppet will definitely have Purple Mansion combat power.
Even if it's not publicized, it's a powerful weapon within the Lineage's clan mountain.
After bidding 180,000 Spirit Stone, Ye Jingcheng stopped bidding.
This price is too high. Firstly, it's not worth it, and secondly, the Ye Family can't be so high-profile.
Relatively speaking, it's more important to buy Purple Palace Jade Liquid and Foundation Establishment to enhance the Lineage's apparent wealth and status.
It's even more important to the Ye Family.
In the end, the Heavenly Wood Puppet was auctioned off for 188,000 Spirit Stone.
Jin'an True Person was extremely satisfied, as this price was higher than many mid-grade third-tier defensive Law Treasure.
"The next treasure is the Great Abyss Earth Fiend, jointly auctioned by the Taiyi Sect and the Medicine King Valley. This Earth Fiend can also increase the chances of Foundation Establishment and has a probability of enhancing combat power during Foundation Establishment, and even refining second-tier Secret Method. This Earth Fiend will be auctioned in sets of two, for a total of five sets!"
After the first treasure that opened the door, the Taiyi Sect obviously also brought out a lot of treasures to attract those who had reached the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment.
After all, people have paid the entrance fee; it would be inappropriate if there were no treasures to be auctioned.
"The starting bid for the first set of Earth Fiend is 10,000 Spirit Stone, with each bid increasing by at least 100 spirit stones!"
As Jin'an True Person spoke, many cultivators began to participate in the auction.
Ye Jingcheng didn't take any pictures. Later, there will be Foundation Establishment Earth Fiend, which are cheaper than Foundation Establishment.
However, in reality, the most important effect of the Foundation Establishment— protecting the meridians—is actually absent.
Without Foundation Establishment, the Ye Family would naturally be interested in this Earth Fiend, since their clansmen still need to break through to the next level.
But even if the Ye Family doesn't say they can refine it themselves, they wouldn't mind buying it from Spirit Stone.
To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, this Earth Fiend recipe was priced at 25,000 Spirit Stone.
This price isn't much less than that of Foundation Establishment.
The prices for the next four groups were also roughly the same, all around 20,000.
After filming the Earth Fiend, it was indeed the Foundation Establishment.
Each set consists of two stones, for a total of ten sets.
This has sparked considerable discussion, as ten groups are not many considering the sheer number of cultivators present.
Ye Jingcheng also guessed that this was because Taiyi Sect had auctioned off the Foundation Establishment separately.
Only twenty Foundation Establishment are auctioned at a time, which is naturally not enough.
After all, most of these Foundation Establishment will end up in the Purple Mansion Lineage and Foundation Establishment Lineage, while the Qi Refining Cultivators and Qi Refining Lineage are far less competitive.
It should be noted that at this moment, many affiliated Lineage within the territory of the Taiyi Sect had already been wiped out by the great upheaval of the Green River Sect.
With many Spirit Mountain remaining vacant, the amount of spirit medicine and Spirit Stone that the Taiyi Sect can collect in the future will be greatly reduced.
Currently, supporting Foundation Establishment Lineage is the best strategy for the Taiyi Sect's development.
This is why the Ye Family was able to develop in this favorable environment.
Although Ye Jingcheng had his suspicions, he still spent 88,000 Spirit Stone to buy two sets of Foundation Establishment.
He breathed a sigh of relief after the four Foundation Establishment were placed in his mouth.
This means that the new generation of the Ye Family no longer needs to worry about Foundation Establishment.
Members of the Qing generation, such as Ye Qingyan, Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Qingfeng, are almost at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Not to mention, many members of the Jing generation are also close to breaking through.
In the past, even though a breakthrough could be arranged if the Foundation Establishment wasn't captured, it was still somewhat illegitimate.
The Ye Family could not possibly claim that all their cultivators broke through without using Foundation Establishment.
"Next up for auction is the Blood King Pill, a mid-grade third-tier elixir provided by Medicine King Valley. This pill is effective for Body Cultivator and Spirit Beast, and has a high probability of helping early-stage Purple Mansion cultivators break through to the next level. It even has a certain probability of helping mid-stage Purple Mansion Body Cultivator or mid-stage third-tier Spirit Beast break through their bottlenecks!"
"This pill has Pill Fragrance; the starting bid is 60,000 Spirit Stone!" said Jin'an True Person.
Even Ye Jingcheng looked somewhat excited at this moment.
Ye Jingcheng possessed the Pill Formula for the Blood King Pill, but the herbs required for Blood King Pill were extremely rare, so Ye Jingcheng had no opportunity to refine it.
This is precisely why they are extremely clear about the effects of this elixir.
This pill could even allow his Jade-Scale Flood Dragon to break through to the late stage of the third rank.
This also indirectly boosts Ye Jingcheng's performance.
"Eighty thousand Spirit Stone!" Ye Jingcheng bid again this time.
However, this price is different from that of the Purple Spirit Pill, since it is a spirit pill with a chance of breaking through bottlenecks.
It also has Pill Fragrance, making it a very high-quality elixir.
If it weren't primarily for helping Body Cultivator break through their limits, the price would probably be even higher.
