Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Chapter 416 Qingyang Spirit Fire, Purple Mansion Jade Liquid Frenzy (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Second Update)

At the auction, the price of the Foundation Establishment Pills, in sets of three, did not soar as high as the individually sold pills.

Instead, it stabilized at a price of just over sixty thousand spirit stones.

This even led some well-known Qi Refining cultivators to consider joining together in groups of three to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pills.

After all, a single pill sold for nearly thirty thousand spirit stones, while a set of three only cost a little over twenty thousand each.

Although there were differences in the quality and grade of the Foundation Establishment Pills, it was easy to negotiate, with those contributing more spirit stones naturally getting the better quality pills.

Therefore, after the first five sets, the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill sets gradually reached just over seventy thousand spirit stones.

Inside the Wan family's private room on the second floor, Wan Chengyi looked at Wan Hongchang, who had also bid on a set of Foundation Establishment Pills, with a puzzled expression.

"Fifth Uncle, why bid on the Foundation Establishment Pills? This could very likely lead to insufficient spirit stones when the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid comes up!"

"It's definitely not enough, no need to look. There are already many families buying the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid. Now that the pressure on the Foundation Establishment Pills is so low, everyone is harboring the same idea. But they forget that even though the Jin and Kong families haven't entered, they can find rogue cultivators to buy them and wear spirit isolation talismans. Even the Taiyi Sect can't say anything about it."

"In addition, the other families in Taiqing Prefecture are also prepared, and the Ye family is also a formidable enemy!" Wan Hongchang's eyes revealed a trace of helplessness.

Being targeted by the Taiyi Sect had already exhausted him, and the family had even offered up a high-quality spirit herb garden and some sword stone mines.

Now, Taiqing Prefecture was also experiencing problems, and it was highly likely to become the second outlet after Taihang Prefecture.

The Wan family naturally had to strengthen its power.

But sometimes, financial constraints were unavoidable.

Most importantly, it was their Wan family that had bid on the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid last time.

"Fifth Uncle, the Ye family contacted us before. Should we invite them to the Taiqing Foundation Establishment Trade Fair in three days?" Wan Chengyi asked again.

"Invite them. Now that the Zhong family in Taiqing Prefecture has fallen, there are many more benefits. Whoever comes, we welcome them!" Wan Hongchang nodded, his eyes shooting out a flash of bright light.

…

With the successful auction of all the Foundation Establishment Pills, Qiu Xianyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the price of the Foundation Establishment Pills was a little lower than expected, it was still within their acceptable range, and he wouldn't be held accountable.

He waved his hand, and a huge cage appeared in the distance.

"Next is the auction of the highlight treasures!"

"There are a total of six highlight treasures this time, and this is the first one!" Qiu Xianyun deliberately created suspense, drawing out the introduction of the first item.

He pulled the cage closer, but didn't immediately lift the red cloth.

This red cloth clearly had the effect of isolating spiritual sense.

Although everyone guessed that this was a spirit beast, they were even more curious about what kind of spirit beast it was.

At this moment, someone suddenly sensed that the surrounding air temperature seemed to rise abruptly.

They couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"This is a fire-attribute demon beast!"

Hearing many people in the venue speak, Qiu Xianyun finally smiled.

"Everyone guessed correctly!"

He walked forward, pulled off the red cloth, paused, and spoke again.

"This is indeed a spirit beast!"

"But it's more than just a spirit beast. This is a Qingyang Bird that has produced a source spirit fire!"

At this moment, Ye Jincheng's interest also greatly increased.

Inside the cage was a Qingyang Bird about ten feet tall, about the same size as his Golden Falcon. However, there were more or less many scars on its claws and sharp beak. On its thighs, the dense cyan down feathers had also begun to become sparse and dull, indicating that it was an old spirit bird.

Its potential was not high, but the most important thing was that a ball of flame was burning on the Qingyang Bird's head.

This cyan flame was truly magical, constantly flowing and rising, and constantly drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy.

Everyone even felt that the Qingyang Bird was using this Qingyang Flame to absorb a lot of its life essence, as if it was being used as lamp oil.

"Fire cultivators and alchemists can focus on this. This is a source spirit fire, but it is also a mutated source spirit fire, comparable to a second-order Heaven and Earth spirit fire!" Qiu Xianyun shouted loudly.

Ye Jincheng also discovered that this cyan flame had an extremely high temperature and was terrifyingly frightening. It also seemed to be able to draw on soul power, using spiritual sense as fuel.

This meant that the value and potential of this Qingyang Fire were higher than the Qingyang Bird itself.

The biggest characteristic of spirit fire was that it had no limitations.

Of course, Ye Jincheng also quickly hesitated, after all, this Qingyang Flame was the Qingyang Bird's source spirit fire.

If the Qingyang Bird died, it was hard to say whether the spirit fire would be extinguished.

The gamble was huge!

After all, the Qingyang Bird's lifespan seemed to be running out.

At the same time, he also knew that if it was a truly complete and detached spirit fire, the Taiyi Sect wouldn't have put it up for auction.

"Alright, without further ado, the starting price for this treasure is fifty thousand spirit stones, with a minimum increment of five hundred each time!" Qiu Xianyun shouted loudly.

The appearance of this treasure also made the cultivators who were looking forward to the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid hesitate.

After all, this Qingyang Fire was also extremely tempting.

For them, there were actually two options: find an extremely powerful magic weapon furnace to transfer the fire to, or find a similar fire-attribute demon beast to transfer the fire to.

As for cultivators refining it, this kind of demon beast fire was extremely violent and would seriously affect the cultivator's spiritual sense. To refine it, unless they had special cultivation techniques.

And for cultivators, they valued their own foundation more and were afraid that the Qingyang Fire would use them as fuel.

Despite such concerns, some cultivators still began to bid.

The Wan family was the first to bid.

"Fifty-three thousand spirit stones!"

"Fifty-five thousand spirit stones." Ye Jincheng also bid. He was also interested in this spirit fire.

Especially since he also had the Treasure Book, but he didn't know if it was because the distance was too far or because the Qingyang Fire itself belonged to the Qingyang Bird, which caused the Treasure Book to have no reaction.

But the Ye family had many choices for transplanting spirit fire. First was his Crimson Flame Fox, second was Ye Jingli's Crimson Flame Scale Python, and Ye Jingyun's Purple Fire Azure Ox.

"Fifty-seven thousand!"

This time, a voice also rang out from the private room on the third floor. This was a cultivator from the Zhang family.

The Zhang family was a family of weapon refiners. Although the Taiyi Sect's investigation had caused them to lose a lot of prestige.

But without exaggeration, the Zhang family was currently the strongest among the Taiyi Sect's affiliated families.

The Kong family's ancestor and the Zhong family's ancestor had both fallen, and the Jin family's ancestor was seriously injured and had little lifespan left.

Only the Zhang family's ancestor had not had any bad news.

Their bidding now naturally made many people wary.

After all, the Zhang family was not allowed to participate in the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, and they were definitely extremely wealthy in terms of spirit stones.

"Sixty-nine thousand."

"Seventy-two thousand!" Ye Jincheng was not afraid at all. He was equally interested in this spirit fire. Perhaps this spirit fire could even accelerate the Crimson Flame Fox's breakthrough to the third rank.

Just now, he had slightly loosened the connection with the spirit beast pouch to let the Crimson Flame Fox sense it, and the latter showed great desire for this Qingyang Fire.

This further strengthened Ye Jincheng's idea.

In the end, the price of the Qingyang Bird was bought by Ye Jincheng for eighty-eight thousand spirit stones.

…

In the Zhang family's private room on the third floor, Zhang Daoran looked at the scene in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

“Third Uncle, the legacy left by the Ye family is truly rich. It seems they plundered quite a bit in the Taihang Mountains.” Behind Zhang Daoran was Zhang Changyong, also a relatively outstanding member of the Zhang family.

During their conversation, they didn't mention any regret about not auctioning it off.

Because this Qingyang Bird was originally sold by them.

They tentatively tried to transplant the spirit fire, but undoubtedly, they all failed.

The spirit fire quickly disappeared, which is why this Qingyang Fire is only a foot tall.

Moreover, it also rapidly depleted the lifespan of the Qingyang Bird.

Even if they transplanted it into other fire-attribute demonic beasts, it would only last for a short time. It's too difficult to nurture this kind of origin spirit fire.

Of course, if they could absorb this spirit fire, it would possess terrifying power.

“Regardless of whether it's a legacy or not, it's wise for the Ye family. They can't buy Zifu Jade Liquid, and even if they could, they wouldn't be able to protect it.” Zhang Daoran couldn't help but nod in praise.

They naturally welcomed anything that could make them a fortune.

The auction continued, and this time, Qiu Xianyun brought out the second treasure, a palm-sized jade bottle.

Inside the jade bottle, it was already filled with purple spiritual liquid.

This didn't even need Qiu Xianyun to introduce it.

At this moment, the aura of the Miaofa True Person arrived again, causing the cultivators who harbored thoughts to stop abruptly.

The entire situation didn't become cold because of the True Person's aura; on the contrary, it became even hotter.

Everyone's faces were attracted to it, and this was before any introduction.

Of course, there was no need for an introduction. Zifu Jade Liquid—its name was its greatest advertisement.

Last time, a decade's worth of Zifu Jade Liquid was auctioned off for a high price of 130,000 spirit stones.

This time, it would only be higher, not lower.

“The Zifu Jade Liquid is a punishment item from the Jin and Kong families, so the starting price is 50,000, with each bid increasing by no less than 500 spirit stones!” This time, Qiu Xianyun didn't waste any words or introductions.

He directly stated the origin and starting price of this Zifu Jade Liquid.

It looked like the starting price was a real benefit, but everyone knew it was just for show.

After all, the name and value of Zifu Jade Liquid were there. The starting price had no meaning at all.

“80,000 spirit stones!” Ye Jingcheng was the first to bid, raising the price to 80,000.

It was as if he also wanted to buy it.

Beside him, Ye Jinghe's eyes flashed with a strange light when he heard Ye Jingcheng's frequent bids.

In his opinion, the Ye family's hidden large spirit stone mine must be real.

“90,000 spirit stones!”

“95,000 spirit stones!”

… …

The price was instantly submerged, and it soon broke through the 100,000 mark, even faster than before.

It was unknown whether the demand was greater or whether the absence of Jindan family competition made them more confident.

Ye Jingcheng also bid three times in a row, quickly exceeding 130,000.

The previous price of Zifu Jade Liquid was 130,000.

This time, it was still at a premium.

Ye Jingcheng sat back down after bidding 140,000 for the last time.

He didn't have enough spirit stones.

“Patriarch, I still have 10,000 spirit stones here!” Ye Jingli was the first to speak.

“I also have 13,000.” Ye Xingyi also spoke.

“I have 9,000!”

“I have 2,000!”

“I have 800!”

“I have 3,000!” Ye Jingyu, Ye Jingting, Ye Jinghu, and Ye Jinghe also spoke up.

Everyone was extremely supportive of Ye Jingcheng.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng stood up again and called out another price.

“150,000 spirit stones.” The price called out by Ye Jingcheng completely ignited the atmosphere in the venue.

On the contrary, the bidding hadn't stopped.

“150,200.”

“150,800.” Unexpectedly, these two bids came from the cultivators on the first floor.

They were all Foundation Establishment cultivators buying from the private rooms, wearing spirit-isolating robes and veils, making it impossible to see their faces and figures clearly.

The key was that their tone was still very calm, as if they could still bid.

Ye Jingcheng became annoyed again and didn't bid, but his eyes still showed some joy.

Although the Ye family also needed this Zifu Jade Liquid, Ye Jingcheng himself and Ye Xingliu both had it. They could even mix one Ziyu Fruit into two portions of Zifu Jade Liquid if they mixed it well.

So the Ye family didn't need it in the short term.

As for the future, the Ye family could continue to compete when the situation stabilized and the price came down.

After all, spending too many spirit stones could make other aspects of the family very poor.

Moreover, if the spirit stone reserves for the mountain protection spirit array were low, they wouldn't even have the means to resist when faced with a clan extermination crisis.

Zifu Jade Liquid also couldn't guarantee that a cultivator would definitely break through.

A 30% chance was indeed not small, but there was still a 70% chance of failure!

In the end, the price reached 160,700.

For the entire Taichang Town, except for the large-scale auctions that happened every hundred years, this was definitely a record-breaking moment.

Moreover, the person who got it was a mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivator on the first floor.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng felt somewhat gratified.

Qiu Xianyun had a face full of smiles and was extremely satisfied with this auction. After it ended, he would also receive a considerable amount of spirit stones.

Then, he took out another jade bottle of the same kind.

It was also Zifu Jade Liquid.

Afterward, the previous situation was almost replicated, and the price quickly reached 150,000.

At this point, it slowed down, but the bidding cultivators became the remaining Taiqing Prefecture families.

Among them were the Jiang family and the Cheng family. The former was an old Foundation Establishment family, and the latter was a Zifu family. They were fully prepared, all for the sake of this Zifu Jade Liquid.

In the end, the Cheng family bought it for 170,000 spirit stones.

The price set a new record again.

Of course, it could also be seen from here that the situation in Taiqing Prefecture might indeed be imminent.

Otherwise, the families wouldn't be so desperate.

For the Taiyi Sect, this was also supporting the families of Taiqing Prefecture.

And also earning spirit stones.

The only ones who were the most miserable were still the families of Taihang Prefecture. Originally, it was to compensate for the losses of Taihang Prefecture, but now the beneficiary became the Cheng family of Taiqing Prefecture.

Fortunately, Ye Jingcheng wasn't determined to take down this Zifu Jade Liquid.

“Alright, this fourth treasure is a set of Rank 3 middle-grade array plate and array flags, which can also deploy a Rank 3 middle-grade mountain protection array!”

“I believe everyone is familiar with this array, the Lesser Five Elements Vajra Array!”

“The most famous defensive mountain protection array in the cultivation world, even three Zifu late-stage cultivators would not be able to break the array in a short time!”

Hearing this name, Ye Jingcheng instantly understood that this array was prepared for Taiqing Prefecture.

To allow them to hold out a little longer when facing the Qinghe Sect.

To buy time for the sect, otherwise, this kind of array wouldn't necessarily be taken out at ordinary times.

“The starting price for the Vajra Array is 90,000 spirit stones, with each bid increasing by no less than 1,000 spirit stones!”

Friends' quality books, everyone can support them.
