Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1226 The transaction begins

Five days passed quietly, and with the first rays of morning light, Ye Jinghu's vitality spread throughout his body and the blue lightning arc gradually disappeared.

Zi Lan, who was sitting opposite him, also opened her eyes. They smiled at each other. Although they didn't say anything, they were already attracted to each other.

"Today is the day of the trade fair. Please wait for me in this restaurant." Ye Jinghu stood up, tidied himself up a little, and walked out of the room. But when he was leaving, he turned around and asked:

"Lan'er, if you need any spiritual objects, if I come across them, I can exchange them for you."

"Husband, the spiritual objects I have now are enough to cultivate to the peak of Purple Mansion. Why do I need any more spiritual objects?" Zi Lan smiled slightly, and then watched Ye Jinghu leave.

At the stairs, a beautiful maid was already waiting.

Looking closely, it was the maid who brought him up that day.

"Senior Lei, please come this way." The maid bowed slightly towards Ye Jinghu. The look in her eyes towards Ye Jinghu was not as full of respect as before. After all, she used to think that Ye Jinghu was an ascetic monk with great concentration, but he had not left the restaurant for five days.

Ye Jinghu didn't pay attention to the maid's expression. His target was on the several cultivators who walked out together. Without exception, the cultivation base of these cultivators was Golden Core.

It’s just that the clothes are different.

As Ye Jinghu looked over, these people also looked at Ye Jinghu. Although they didn't speak, they nodded to each other, which was a lukewarm greeting.

This means that the Xiangyun Restaurant has invited quite a few Jindan monks.

After crossing several streets, they arrived at a magnificent courtyard. Two handsome late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators were guarding the door, checking the trade fair tokens.

"Senior Lei, this Gaopeng Mansion is our destination this time. I will not be able to lead you in the front."

There were quite a few cultivators in front of the mansion, and several people who came out of Xiangyun Restaurant with Ye Jinghu also came to the side.

"You can leave now." Ye Jinghu nodded and signaled the female cultivator to leave.

After checking the token and entering the mansion, they arrived in front of a magnificent palace.

The main hall is carved with various auspicious beasts, and there are two two-headed stone lions at the door. When you enter, you will see a huge hall.

There are nearly two hundred seats in the hall, and half of them are already occupied.

Ye Jinghu found a seat at the back and sat down.

As Ye Jinghu sat down, a fat-faced monk who came out of the restaurant with him also came into the hall. He looked around with his shrewd little eyes and then sat down next to him.

"You look unfamiliar, fellow Daoist. Are you from the south?"

"Indeed, I am from the south. I have long heard of the great name of Tianyaozhou. Seeing you today has really broadened my horizons." Ye Jinghu was not very good at this kind of chatting up, but he had heard from the elders in the family that it was always a good idea to praise more.

Moreover, the other person was in a restaurant, sitting next to him, and wearing a Taoist robe, which was also a special spirit-isolating robe, revealing only his face.

It made him feel a little bit unusual.

"The six righteous states in the south or the seven Ziyang states?" the monk continued to ask.

"I'm Xiao Yuan, from the Xiao family of Qingyao Mansion in Tianyaozhou." As if sensing something was wrong, he introduced himself again. "My Taoist name is Lei Yuan, and I come from the Six Orthodox Provinces. I don't know much about Tianyaozhou, so I wonder if you can introduce me a little bit?" Ye Jinghu also spoke up.

"Of course. Although there are only five prefectures in Tianyao Province and the prefecture is smaller than other prefectures, the number of forces is much higher. There are four Yuanying forces in Tianyao Prefecture alone in Tianyao Province, and there are eleven Yuanying forces in the entire Tianyao Province."

"Of course, the most famous ones are Xuanwang Pavilion, Tianji Sect, Mingshui Jia Family and Fengxue Family Zhu Family..." Xiao Yuan then began to introduce them.

"Of course, in addition to these four forces, the most mysterious one is the Beast Source Sect. This force seldom recruits disciples from outside, but each of them is wealthy, and they don't deal in any elixirs, weapons, formations or talismans." Xiao Yuan continued.

Ye Jinghu also listened very carefully, especially to learn more about the Beast Source Sect.

But when Ye Jinghu was still trying to figure out what was going on, the hall was already mostly full.

The monk in the middle walked onto the platform and spoke loudly:
"Everyone, it's almost time, let's start the trade fair. I see many fellow Taoists from other places, let me introduce myself, Xun Yuanqing, currently the guest elder of Tianxiang Restaurant, and the initiator of this trade fair..." This cultivator has an immortal appearance and a natural aura. He looks like a little old man in his fifties or sixties, but his eyes are unusually bright.

After the brief introduction, he continued:

"This trade fair is divided into two parts. The first part is an auction where the highest bidder wins, and the second part is barter..."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and two beautiful female cultivators wearing thin gauze that revealed large areas of skin came up holding spirit plates.

"The first auction item is a pair of blue light purple bracelets, which are most suitable for cultivators with younger generations or Taoist companions. This bracelet can contain the spiritual power of the Jindan cultivator, and the other purple bracelet can be activated, allowing the purple mansion cultivator to have the power of a Jindan cultivator's attack and can be used multiple times!"

"The starting price of this treasure is eighty high-grade spirit stones, and each bid cannot be less than one high-grade spirit stone."

For Purple Mansion Golden Core cultivators, since spiritual energy requires purity, there is almost no demand for low-grade and medium-grade spiritual stones. Naturally, the auction also uses high-grade spiritual stones.

Ye Jinghu was naturally interested in this treasure, but after thinking about it, he still did not make a bid.

After all, the Ye family has many spiritual beasts. If they really want to protect their descendants, giving a spiritual beast to protect them is much better than this magic weapon.

But Ye Jinghu did not make an offer, but many others made offers.

Soon it reached one million spirit stones, almost catching up with the price of a golden elixir.

The final auction price reached one hundred and ten top-grade spirit stones.

"The second treasure is the inner elixir of a fourth-order Tianyuan Horned Python, and the starting price is fifty high-quality spirit stones!" The second auction item soon began.

Ye Jinghu still had no interest.

And then, there were six treasures, all of which were the inner elixirs and blood essences of monsters. Ye Jinghu actually bought three drops of the blood essence of the Qingyuan Ape.

"Next is the inner elixir of the Green Lightning Cloud Leopard. This monster is in the late fourth stage, with rich thunder-attribute true essence. The monster elixir is also very well preserved. The starting price is sixty-five high-quality spirit stones!" As another treasure was called out.

Ye Jinghu finally became interested.

This pill has a great effect on his Thunder Tiger. If he swallows it, it will most likely break through to the middle fourth stage, and can even improve a lot in the middle fourth stage, which can save his Thunder Tiger a lot of training time. If the Ye family prepares more advanced pills, his Thunder Tiger will have a chance to break through to the late fourth stage within fifty years, and if the spirit beast breaks through, it can give back to him.

"Eighty-five top-grade spirit stones!" Ye Jinghu directly added twenty top-grade spirit stones, showing his determination to win.
