Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Chapter 256: The Spirit Herb Crisis (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Inside the Chu Ye Pavilion, in the west wing's main room, Ye Xingyi, Ye Jingyun, and Ye Jingyu were all present in the hall.

The expressions on their faces were somewhat grim, and Ye Xingyi was pacing anxiously. After a while, Ye Jinghao also entered from outside, bringing with him the chilling sound of the wind.

"Thirty-fifth Uncle, we still haven't found a supplier for spirit herbs. They all say that spirit herbs are currently quite scarce," Ye Jinghao said.

As soon as he spoke, the others knew that trouble had arisen.

Because the Ye family was unfamiliar with the Taichang Market, even the purchase of spirit herbs was proving difficult to supply.

In recent days, the Spirit Feeding Pills and Spirit Nurturing Pills had been selling well, and the Red Ganoderma Pills and Qi Replenishing Pills were also selling well.

The consequence of this was that most of the spirit herbs they had brought from Lingyun Peak were gone, and they had to either send a voice transmission to the family or look for spirit herb sellers in the market.

However, because the distance was too far, ordinary voice transmission talismans couldn't reach that far.

And the family's agreement was to send them once every two months.

Unless they arranged for a cultivator to return to the Ye family in advance, they could only choose the latter option.

"Someone is targeting our Ye family," Ye Xingyi couldn't help but clench his fists.

Although he was an alchemist, he couldn't help but feel somewhat powerless at this moment, as he was only a Qi Refining cultivator after all.

This was currently the most important juncture for him to earn spirit stones.

If they bought fewer herbs for a few days, the Ye family wouldn't even be able to do business.

Unless the Ye family went to stalls or other shops to buy spirit herbs, but unlike cooperation, this kind of open transaction would be extremely unfavorable to the Ye family, and the price difference would be enormous.

"Let's wait for Jingcheng to come out of seclusion!" Ye Xingyi pondered for a long time, but still couldn't find a solution and had to speak.

In Taihang Market, perhaps a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator could still have some influence, but in Taichang Market, ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators were everywhere.

Even if he had connections, he would need someone to value them.

However, the next moment, a look of joy appeared on his face.

A figure appeared in the distance, it was Ye Jingcheng, who had changed into a clean Daoist robe, and stepped into the hall.

"Ninth Brother, here's the alchemy furnace back to you!" Ye Jingcheng took out an alchemy furnace and returned it to Ye Jingyun.

His face was full of smiles. After another two days of seclusion, the Crimson Flame Fox had already consumed the second-tier Crimson Flame Pill and was beginning to advance.

Ye Jingcheng was also quite looking forward to the Crimson Flame Fox's next advancement, perhaps it would turn into a three-tailed one.

Moreover, not only the Crimson Flame Fox, but also the Wood Demon in the courtyard had begun to advance.

Now that he contacted the latter through the Soul Pact, there was no response, as if it had entered a critical breakthrough period.

Moreover, the Three-Colored Cloud Deer's breakthrough time was not far off.

Once the three of them broke through, Ye Jingcheng estimated that his breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment would be a certainty.

A forty-five-year-old mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would probably be a rare existence even in the Taiyi Sect.

"Thirty-fifth Uncle, is the family currently having problems with spirit herbs?" Ye Jingcheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked with doubt.

"Indeed," Ye Xingyi nodded.

"It's okay, I'll take care of this matter. Eldest Brother introduced us to the Jin family's Jinyu Hall. Seventh Sister, come with me then," Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.

He had long anticipated that someone would try to make things difficult in secret.

After all, their Ye family and the Xu family were completely opposed, and the Mo family would probably also scheme against their Ye family in secret. Now that they had been open for business for so long, it would be unusual if there was no movement at all.

As for the spirit herb channel, after Ye Jingteng left last time, he entrusted someone to send over a jade slip, which contained the introduction to the Jin family's Jinyu Hall.

As a Jindan family, the Jin family naturally also had a large-scale spirit herb garden.

Moreover, many of Ye Jingcheng's spirit herbs were purchased from the Jin family.

And the backer of this Jin family in the Taiyi Sect was also Taiyi Illusion Peak, so their relationship could be even closer.

For Ye Jingcheng, this was the best news, after all, perhaps he could also obtain the spirit herbs for his second-tier Jade Kirin Pill and second-tier Golden Scale Beast through the latter.

"Jingcheng, do we still need to investigate who is doing mischief in secret?" Ye Xingyi also asked at this moment.

He was not good at these things in the family, and in these days, he had long regarded Ye Jingcheng as the head of the family.

"No need to investigate, it's either the Xu family or the Mo family. Since the two families have taken the initiative, then don't blame us!" Ye Jingcheng said.

"Seventh Sister, Ninth Brother, continue to issue the Xu Prohibition Order, and at the same time, lower the price of the best-selling spirit pills of the Xu family!"

"Secondly, regarding the Mo family, arrange for Chen Ya and the others to return a few more array disks!" Ye Jingcheng said.

As soon as these words came out, their eyes lit up.

Indeed, in Taichang Market, the Ye family had no enemies except for the Xu and Mo families.

They didn't need to look for any evidence.

And the Xu Prohibition Order was something that the Ye family had wanted to issue many years ago, but at that time, the Ye family was not a Zifu family.

Moreover, in Taihang Market, the Xu family's territory was too large and involved too many aspects.

The Ye family would naturally be at a disadvantage, but now that they had arrived in Taichang Market, they had fallen to the same level, both being Zifu families.

They each had their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of pills.

The Ye family was more proficient in spirit beast pills, while the Chu family was more proficient in the breadth of pill formulas than the Xu family.

But as long as they handled it properly, it was not necessarily impossible to shake them.

After all, for loose cultivators, they only needed to not buy the spirit pills of one family, and then make a Heavenly Dao oath, and they could save five to ten spirit stones, which was really too cost-effective.

After all, the Xu family was not a Jindan family. It could act arbitrarily in Taihang County, but in Taichang County, it was just a slightly famous Zifu family, and might not even be as intimidating as the Chu family.

Moreover, even if it didn't have a big impact, it could still disgust the Xu family.

As for the Mo family, it was even more so.

Half of the goals he carried on his back were related to Mo Hongyuan.

If he didn't make things difficult for the Mo family in Taichang Market, Mo Hongyuan would probably suspect him.

After all, the latter had not left the Mo family's shop for almost a year now.

After discussing some details with Ye Xingyi, Ye Jingcheng also used the token given by Ye Jingteng to send a message to the Jin family's shop, and arranged for Jin Yutang to meet at the Zhong family's restaurant.

In Taichang Market, besides the Taiyi Sect, there were four families that were most worthy of attention.

The Taiqiu Kong family and the Hetian Jin family, which operated spirit herbs and pills, the Yuhe Zhong family, which monopolized the tavern business in Taiqing County, and the Yong'an Zhang family, which operated magic weapons.

On the other hand, there was not a single Jindan family that operated arrays, spirit beasts, or specialized in sword cultivators.

Ye Jingcheng could actually roughly understand this.

The sect focused more on cultivating more high-level cultivators, who needed spirit meals, pills, and magic weapons, so it outsourced them to these Jindan families.

At the same time, the most core arrays, as well as various powerful and dynamic methods, and treasures such as Foundation Establishment Pills, Zifu Jade Liquid, and Ningjin Pills, were firmly held in the hands of the sect.

Ye Jingcheng also knew that the reason why the family kept a low profile was not only because it was easy to make other families jealous, but also because it was easy to make the Taiyi Sect jealous.

Moreover, there were also unknown enemies.
