Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The crimson glow in the sky was still somewhat dazzling, falling upon the buildings of the market, covering them with a layer of faint red light.

Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xingliu, and the others had also left the auction house at this moment, looking at the crimson glow in the sky, their expressions inexplicably deep.

They did not choose to leave the auction hall immediately, as the most cultivators would be present right after the auction ended, and chaos could easily arise.

Although Taichang Market was an absolutely safe place, having purchased Cloud Silver Iron Crystals and Foundation Establishment Pills, the group still waited for half an hour, avoiding the most crowded period.

The Chu family was also waiting with them, having purchased two sets of Foundation Establishment Pills, yielding even greater profits in terms of spiritual pills than the Ye family.

This also revealed the Chu family's ambition.

After all, they had only recently become a Violet Palace family and were still constantly increasing the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators within their clan.

The Wan family, on the other hand, seemed to have left early after purchasing Violet Palace Jade Liquid.

The group walked into the alleys of the North City district, only to find that the torrent of cultivators was still present.

Most of these were Qi Refining cultivators who had neither bought Foundation Establishment Pills nor had enough spirit stones to bid on any treasures.

Of course, these Qi Refining cultivators couldn't be blamed entirely; this auction was much larger than previous ones, and most of the auctioned spiritual objects were Tier 2.

However, influenced by the atmosphere of the auction, these cultivators were now wandering through the shops in the North City district, seemingly preparing for a major shopping spree.

Among them, young cultivators were the majority, which Ye Jingcheng estimated were preparing for the Grand Competition two months later.

The Taiyi Sect's Ascension Conference was held every three years, and it had indeed been three years since the last one, but it had clashed with the auction, so the Ascension Conference was postponed.

Ye Jingcheng's divine sense lingered at the entrance of the auction hall for a long time, but ultimately he didn't see that figure, so he withdrew his gaze.

They quickly passed through the North City and arrived at the South City, which was much quieter than the North City, but still more lively compared to ordinary days.

In the streets and alleys, and in the taverns and inns, cultivators could still be seen walking and chatting, and at this time, almost all the discussions revolved around the auction.

Most of these discussions were praise and promotion, all favorable to the Taiyi Sect, and the group paid little attention to them.

They walked in extreme silence the entire way.

Ye Jingli, on the other hand, was exceptionally excited at this moment due to having successfully bid on the Earth Core Spiritual Fruit and the Foundation Establishment Pill, constantly talking about the grand scene just now.

Ye Xingyi and Ye Jingyong were also smiling broadly, echoing his sentiments.

After all, they had both successfully bid on Foundation Establishment Pills and had the opportunity to break through to Foundation Establishment without having to worry about risking their lives.

It should be known that in some immortal cultivation families, if a clansman does not have a Foundation Establishment Pill and wants to break through to Foundation Establishment, they are not allowed to desperately attempt it.

Family cultivators are different from rogue cultivators; you can break through as you please, and even if you fall, you will have only died on the path of seeking the Dao, dying willingly.

But for family cultivators, due to the family's investment and support, if all Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators risked their lives to try, although one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators might emerge,

it is very likely that all the family's Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators would be wiped out.

Leading to a collapse of the middle and upper levels.

The group quickly returned to the Chu Ye Pavilion, but Ye Jingcheng didn't see the figure he expected, so he sighed and entered the courtyard.

"Jingcheng, we will return in half a month. The shop has passed its prosperous period. The market will enter a period of procurement downturn for a while. We won't open the shop temporarily until Jingyong or Xingyi break through, then we'll come back!" Ye Xingliu arranged.

According to the clan's arrangements, the family clan meeting would be held in two months, at which time the election of the family head would also take place.

And since the market had earned this wave of spirit stones, there was indeed no need to rush so much. The clansmen here could all go home to participate in the grand event.

Of course, this was also telling Ye Jingcheng to stabilize his strength more in these days and not to be obsessed with alchemy anymore.

"Third Uncle, does the family still have cultivators who need to break through? I want to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill," Ye Jingcheng asked after hesitating for a while.

No matter what, he was able to gain so much in the secret realm, and Xu Xiuqing's help to him was considerable. He still wanted to sell a Foundation Establishment Pill to the latter.

"The family doesn't need it for now. There are no cultivators breaking through openly, and I'm not responsible for those breaking through secretly!" Ye Xingliu directly took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and handed it to Ye Jingcheng.

Extremely straightforward, and of course, Ye Jingcheng was worth it.

The family currently had three people who needed to break through: Ye Jingli, who had just broken through to Qi Refining Level 9 not long ago, and then Ye Xingyi and Ye Jingyong.

Ye Jingyong need not be said, he had been polishing at Qi Refining Level 9 for five or six years.

And Ye Xingyi had also broken through for two years.

The remaining Ye family Level 9 cultivators were all over sixty years old.

"In addition, normally, the families in Taihang Market can also bid for at least one Foundation Establishment Pill," Ye Xingliu then added with a smile.

Every ten years, Foundation Establishment Pills would also be sold in Taihang Market and Taiqing Market.

Taihang Market's quota should be around five Foundation Establishment Pills.

Now, Taihang County only had the Xu, Ye, Chu, and Chen families. The Chen family need not be said, the only Foundation Establishment family had no say at all. It was already very good if they weren't targeted to death by the Chu family.

Of the remaining three families, even if they jointly squeezed out the Ye family, they could still buy a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng directly accepted the Foundation Establishment Pill and also took out his token, letting Ye Xingliu deduct the contribution points.

"Be careful during this period. The sect may become reckless," Ye Xingliu returned the token to Ye Jingcheng after deducting the contribution points, while also reminding Ye Jingcheng.

These words were also hinting to Ye Jingcheng that the sect's actions had been particularly frequent recently. Whether it was the Zhong family's incident or the Zhang family still having no news, it showed that peaceful days might not last long.

Of course, the most important thing was that he was afraid that Ye Jingcheng would go to find the Corpse Daoist because of Chen Ya's matter.

At this time, no matter how much strength the Corpse Daoist had left, the other party was in the dark, and it was not something that the two Foundation Establishment Intermediate Stage cultivators could confront.

Moreover, their secret realm trip could be considered watertight. Even if the cultivators of other families were soul-searched by the Corpse Daoist, they would not be able to find any problems.

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng understood, Ye Xingliu didn't say much, and drank the spiritual tea in his cup in one gulp.

Then he returned to his room.

Ye Jingcheng nodded and also drank the Yingchun tea in one gulp.

He poured the remaining tea dregs towards the Black Cloud Flower.

Just as he was preparing to return to his room to use the Wisdom Transformation Fruit on the Stone Spirit, he felt a figure in his divine sense, walking slowly towards the shop.

The figure was walking very slowly, seemingly still hesitant in their heart.

A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Jingcheng's mouth, and he tidied up his clothes before walking towards the shop, standing at the entrance.

Ye Jingyu and Ye Jinghao were both somewhat strange at this moment.

However, very quickly, Xu Xiuqing's figure also appeared at the shop entrance.

The latter was wearing a sky-blue dress, her bright snow-white eyes and delicate features still as beautiful and moving as they were twenty years ago.

Standing at the shop entrance, even without doing anything, she was a beautiful sight.

Ye Jinghao opened his mouth wide at this moment. He wanted to speak because he had seen Xu Xiuqing.

However, Ye Jingcheng was still in front, so he didn't say anything.

Ye Jingyu's interest also increased greatly at this moment. Ye Jingcheng's major events concerned many members of the Ye family.

However, she also didn't dare to ask. Ye Jingcheng was, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator and would soon be the family head.

"Let's go, come in and have some tea. Although it's not as good as the tavern's, it's better because it was planted by my own hands!" Ye Jingcheng said.

Xu Xiuqing nodded. She didn't make any disguise today. On the contrary, she carefully applied rouge powder.

Making herself look as she did twenty years ago.

The two entered the backyard, and Ye Jingcheng set up the formation, pouring out the tea in the teapot and filling it with Yingchun tea again.

The tea liquid fell into the porcelain cup, and the green tea liquid also reflected Xu Xiuqing's delicate face.

"Was the Foundation Establishment Pill successful?" Ye Jingcheng asked knowingly.

He also handed over the spiritual tea.

Xu Xiuqing held the spiritual tea without drinking it, but shook her head, her eyes also showing some apprehension.

"I heard you're going to be the family head!" Xu Xiuqing asked.

She spoke very carefully, and her voice was far less confident than before.

"Yes, it's the family's decision," Ye Jingcheng nodded and directly took out a jade bottle.

"Let's say it's 15,000 spirit stones, which is also to repay your kindness for giving me the talisman treasure last time!"

Ye Jingcheng's words were not against his will. If there really wasn't the Seven-Layer Mysterious Azure Pagoda talisman treasure, he wouldn't necessarily be able to subdue the Golden Falcon, and then, killing the Corpse Daoist might also have been an accident.

In addition, the other party gave him the treasures of the Stone Square, allowing his Stone Spirit Cave Heaven to be successfully opened.

"This was what we agreed upon last time. Fairy Xu wouldn't go back on her word, would she!" Ye Jingcheng added.

He said when he accepted Xu Xiuqing's talisman treasure that if Xu Xiuqing didn't buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, she could come to him.

This time, it couldn't even be said that Xu Xiuqing took the initiative to find him.

"Okay!" Xu Xiuqing finally nodded upon hearing this, but she also took out a storage bag.

"But all my spirit stones have been used up, so I'll exchange these two items for it!" Inside Xu Xiuqing's storage bag were the remaining magic weapon Azure Rainbow Sword and the Heavenly Yuan Fruit from that year.

Xu Xiuqing had taken out these two items last time.

The Heavenly Yuan Fruit was one of the three major spiritual materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill. It was beyond Ye Jingcheng's expectations that it hadn't been sold, but thinking about a Qi Refining cultivator, selling these might not be easy.

"Don't refuse either. Just take it as another gift from me as the family head. When I break through to Foundation Establishment, I'll come to Lingyun Peak to congratulate you!" Xu Xiuqing directly blocked the possibility of Ye Jingcheng's refusal.

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng didn't move, she also put down the Foundation Establishment Pill and then looked at Ye Jingcheng.

Only after Ye Jingcheng accepted it did she accept the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Senior Ye, can I see Little Gold?" Xu Xiuqing hesitated for a while and still asked.

The Golden Scale Beast was brought out of the Taihang Mountains by her grandfather.

She hadn't seen it for twenty years.

"The Golden Scale Beast is in closed-door cultivation. It's about to break through," Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment and still spoke.

"Then I'll go to Lingyun Peak after I break through to Foundation Establishment. It'll be one year at the earliest and two years at the latest!" Xu Xiuqing finally said, and then, without waiting for Ye Jingcheng to persuade her to stay, she bid farewell and left.

"Then it's a two-year agreement!" Seeing that Xu Xiuqing was still so anxious, Ye Jingcheng didn't persuade her to stay, but the previous few times, he didn't have time to send her off. This time, he sent her to the door and watched her disappear into the crowd and the street corner.
