Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Chapter 343: Foundation Establishment Pill Competition (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

In the Ye family's private room on the second floor, Ye Jingcheng picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip.

His gloomy expression improved slightly, but the Wisdom Transformation Fruit definitely couldn't be the highlight treasure, even if it hadn't been bitten.

This was also the brilliance of the auctioneer Qiu Xianyun, deliberately mentioning it, the base price didn't change, but the number of cultivators bidding increased significantly.

"Three thousand one hundred spiritual stones!" Seeing that the price finally stopped rising, Ye Jingcheng finally made his bid.

Although top-grade second-tier spiritual fruits are rare, the Wisdom Transformation Fruit is an exceptionally scarce spiritual fruit.

However, as a spiritual fruit that only enhances intelligence, the price is still a bit high.

You should know that the price of a mid-grade second-tier Jade Soul Pill is only around one thousand spiritual stones, and ordinary top-grade second-tier spiritual herbs, one thousand with a few hundred extra spiritual stones, are considered relatively precious spiritual herbs.

Only the Wisdom Transformation Fruit, because it doesn't need to be refined into pills and can be used directly like longevity spiritual fruits, and has no pill toxins, can the price be several times higher, but two thousand plus is the limit.

Once it exceeds three thousand, it's ridiculously inflated.

The reason why Ye Jingcheng wanted to bid was indeed because he had no choice. The Ye family's Spirit Transformation Pill had a significant effect on spirit beasts, but it hadn't shown any effect on the Stone Spirit yet.

Ye Jingcheng hoped that the Stone Spirit would start cultivating the Tortoise Ancestor's Visualization Diagram as soon as possible to make the Cave Heaven Secret Realm larger, so that his spirit beasts could practice spells daily even within the Cave Heaven in the future.

"Three thousand two hundred spiritual stones!" At this time, there was still a cultivator making an offer.

Ye Jingcheng's brow couldn't help but furrow. The voice came from the Kong family.

Clearly, the Kong family also wanted it.

However, the Kong family had already offended the Ye family, so he couldn't care less at this moment.

"Three thousand five hundred spiritual stones!" Ye Jingcheng directly added three hundred spiritual stones.

This Wisdom Transformation Fruit still had a gap. If the Kong family maliciously competed for it, he wouldn't mind letting the Kong family take it.

But it had to be taken away at a high price.

However, as soon as Ye Jingcheng called out the price, the Kong family's cultivator didn't respond.

They even seemed to be laughing at Ye Jingcheng for spending so many spiritual stones to buy a Wisdom Transformation Fruit with a gap.

Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief when he bought it.

He now had hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones in his storage bag, not counting his contribution points in the Ye family.

Most of these spiritual stones were found in the storage bags of Kong family cultivators and Xu family cultivators in the secret realm.

So the Kong family is laughing at him?

They still don't know who's laughing at whom.

Ye Jingcheng snorted coldly in his heart and sat down again.

As expected, the following treasures were all second-tier treasures and second-tier spiritual materials, and some precious and rare second-tier magical artifacts also appeared.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu didn't lack magical artifacts, so naturally they didn't make any moves.

The treasures of Mu Fang and Shi Fang didn't appear, but many top-grade second-tier Thunder Cloud Grass for Thunder Rhinoceros Pills appeared. Ye Jingcheng spent six thousand three hundred spiritual stones to purchase three plants.

"Next is the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pills. A total of eighty Foundation Establishment Pills will be sold this time, twenty Foundation Establishment Pills will be sold individually, and the remaining Foundation Establishment Pills will be auctioned in groups of three!"

"Now the single pills are being auctioned, starting price is eight thousand spiritual stones, and each increase must not be less than one hundred spiritual stones." Qiu Xianyun waved her hand, and this time a Foundation Establishment female cultivator walked up, carrying a storage bag.

She quickly took out forty jade bottles, but the first twenty jade bottles only had one Foundation Establishment Pill, while the remaining twenty jade bottles had three Foundation Establishment Pills.

As the Foundation Establishment Pills appeared, Ye Jingcheng could clearly feel that the breathing in the auction hall seemed to become more rapid. At this moment, among the five or six thousand people in the entire auction hall, eighty percent of the cultivators had fiery eyes.

Qi Refining cultivators must prepare a Foundation Establishment Pill to advance to Foundation Establishment, otherwise, failure to break through means death.

Foundation Establishment cultivators and Violet Palace cultivators, needless to say, they also need a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills to ensure a continuous stream of Foundation Establishment cultivators in their families.

Currently, throughout the Yan Kingdom's Taiyi Three Prefectures, at least on the surface, no other family forces can refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Ten thousand spiritual stones!"

"Eleven thousand spiritual stones!"

… …

As soon as the Foundation Establishment Pills came out, even though the sect emphasized that family cultivators could not participate in the competition for the first ten pills, the price skyrocketed.

Although there were more Foundation Establishment Pills this time, everyone knew that many family cultivators were mixed in among the loose cultivators.

Just like the last decade, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haiyi disguised themselves as ordinary loose cultivators.

It is definitely several times more difficult for true loose cultivators to buy Foundation Establishment Pills than for family cultivators.

And the price of the first pill eventually stopped at twenty-one thousand spiritual stones.

This made Ye Jingyong and Ye Xingyi next to him feel a little uncertain.

Although they had a lot of spiritual stones, this was still the first pill, and family cultivators had not participated in the competition.

They could all imagine how the Kong, Xu, and Wan families, who had lost a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators, would do everything possible to buy Foundation Establishment Pills.

Speaking of which, opening the secret realm before the auction was definitely a strategy for the Taiyi Sect to raise prices.

Ye Jingcheng also saw Xu Xiuqing with a face full of disappointment, obviously failing to bid.

Her bid stopped at eighteen thousand eight hundred spiritual stones.

Ye Jingcheng had no doubt that if it were possible to bid one spiritual stone at a time, there might be even smaller fractions.

But in fact, this price was not low.

In the last decade, it would have been enough to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The first pill was auctioned off, and the second pill was quickly auctioned off as well.

And the price of ten consecutive pills was auctioned off for twenty-two to twenty-three thousand spiritual stones.

Xu Xiuqing also failed without suspense. At this time, Xu Xiuqing's body could be seen trembling as she stared at the high platform for a long time.

Missing the first ten Foundation Establishment Pills, the subsequent Foundation Establishment Pills would be even more difficult to auction.

Xu Xiuqing clenched her fists, still seemingly hoping to snag a Foundation Establishment Pill at a bargain.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh at this.

This was the reality for cultivators at the bottom, facing the auction of Foundation Establishment Pills with only helplessness.

The spiritual stones they had scraped together were all for naught. Many cultivators wouldn't have another ten-year opportunity to wait for the next auction. They could only desperately try before the age of sixty, attempting to break through and survive against the odds.

But that was ultimately relying on the will of heaven, with only a slim chance of survival.

Therefore, after the auction ended, many of these low-level cultivators would take risks, even knowing they might become stepping stones and money-giving boys for other cultivators.

“The eleventh Foundation Establishment Pill, still starting at eight thousand, with a minimum increment of one hundred spiritual stones per bid!” Qiu Xianyun said with particular excitement at this moment. The higher the price of the Foundation Establishment Pills, the more spiritual stones he could get.

“Eleven thousand!”

“Twelve thousand!”

“Twenty thousand spiritual stones!” This time, it was Ye Xingyi who spoke, having been excited for a long time and unable to hold back.

But this price was quickly drowned out.

Especially from the Xu family's private room, which directly offered a price of twenty-four thousand eight hundred, also breaking the record for the entire Foundation Establishment Pill auction.

For Foundation Establishment families, a Foundation Establishment cultivator meant uniqueness. For Violet Mansion families, they were absolutely indispensable backbones.

Therefore, with such a large area under the Xu family's control, they had to produce more Foundation Establishment cultivators to maintain it.

For example, the current Ye family lacked Foundation Establishment cultivators to guard Taihang and Taichang markets, and even the Buqingshan Medicine Garden.

It was only because the Ye family had more second-order demon beasts; otherwise, a larger territory wouldn't necessarily be a good thing.

And if the shopkeepers in various markets of the Xu family, as an old Violet Mansion family, were still Qi Refining cultivators, that would be a great joke.

This pill was undoubtedly bought by the Xu family.

In the following nine pills, Ye Jingli bought one, while Ye Xingyi and Ye Jingyong ultimately had fewer spiritual stones and failed to buy any.

The two prepared to borrow spiritual stones, as they naturally couldn't give up on Foundation Establishment.

It was only when Ye Xingliu spoke, stating that the family would bid for a set of three Foundation Establishment Pills, that the two breathed a sigh of relief.

As the previous twenty individually auctioned Foundation Establishment Pills were sold, many rogue cultivators began to leave. If two Foundation Establishment Pills could have been cooperated on in the past, three Foundation Establishment Pills now undoubtedly increased the risk.

They might as well prepare in advance at the exit of Taichang Market to ambush those Qi Refining rogue cultivators who had just bought Foundation Establishment Pills.

Xu Xiuqing also stood up, her eyes somewhat resolute, as if she had made a decision.

Having persisted until this day, naturally no one would be willing to give up on Foundation Establishment.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, a small gathering at Chuye Pavilion in half a day?” A voice transmission sounded.

Xu Xiuqing was also stunned, then looked towards the private room on the second floor.

After seeing Ye Jingcheng's figure, she finally nodded and sat back down in her seat.

Using their subsequent bids, the Ye family finally managed to bid for a set of three Foundation Establishment Pills, with the price being exactly sixty-nine thousand spiritual stones, averaging the same price of twenty-three thousand spiritual stones per pill.

This greatly exceeded the previous selling price of Foundation Establishment Pills.

Even Ye Xingliu felt the pain.

Ye Jingcheng even suspected at this moment that the Taiyi Sect had specially arranged cultivators in the secret realm to kill the Foundation Establishment cultivators of small families or lone Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This caused a large-scale fall of Foundation Establishment cultivators, increasing the price of Foundation Establishment Pills at this auction, and ensuring the absolute position of the Taiyi Sect.

After all, three to four hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators entered the secret realm that time, but only over a hundred came out, a loss of more than half.

As the Foundation Establishment Pills were sold out, the atmosphere of the entire auction became full of gunpowder.

Those who bought Foundation Establishment Pills were fine, but those who didn't, whether rogue cultivators or family cultivators, all had unkind looks at this moment.

It was as if they were constantly thinking that if they couldn't bid for Foundation Establishment Pills, they would go and get free Foundation Establishment Pills.

“The next treasure is a second-order high-grade magic weapon, the Heavenly Corpse Spear. Although this treasure is not a benevolent weapon, it is indeed a high-grade magic weapon, and any familiar cultivator can use it!!”

“The starting price for this item is twenty thousand spiritual stones, with a minimum increment of one hundred spiritual stones per bid!”

As Qiu Xianyun took out a cyan corpse spear, Ye Jingcheng's eyes also flashed inadvertently.

This corpse spear was too similar to his talisman treasure corpse spear, which meant that this corpse spear was a replica magic weapon of the talisman treasure, and very likely a trophy of the Corpse Daoist.

“The sect is fishing,” Ye Jingcheng transmitted to Ye Xingliu, and also looked towards the figure like Chen Ya he had seen before.

But at this moment, where was the shadow of Chen Ya?

As a second-order high-grade magic weapon, twenty thousand spiritual stones was neither high nor low.

It was eventually auctioned for a price of thirty thousand spiritual stones.

Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't bid for this item. The cultivators who bid now could easily be labeled as members of the Demonic Sect by the sect.

Being tracked and questioned was a small matter; it was possible to have one's soul searched by someone in the dark.

Involving the Demonic Sect, no one could protect them, even the Real People of the Taiyi Sect.

“Next is the auction of the final treasure, the third-order Cloud Silver Iron Crystal!” Just as Ye Jingcheng was pondering, Qiu Xianyun spoke again in the distance.

“This item is the best spiritual material for refining third-order middle-grade defensive magic treasures or third-order special magic weapons, with a starting price of forty thousand spiritual stones!!”
