Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1557 The Sixth-Order Nine Yin Qi and a Series of Grand Magic Treasures Appear (Two Chapters Combined, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

As the largest Tier 6 auction on Zisha Cloud Island, this event was naturally incredibly popular.

The auction hall was packed with cultivators.

The auction house has six floors and can accommodate 50,000 cultivators, most of whom are at the Foundation Establishment or Purple Mansion stage, while several thousand are at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage.

It was a truly grand event.

"Great-grandfather, I wonder when it will be the Ye family's turn to hold such a large auction?" Ye Tengming couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

Even though he had seen a lot and met many cultivators, this was still beyond his comprehension.

This auction not only features over three hundred treasures, but also provides participating cultivators with complimentary spiritual tea and fruits, as well as a record of appraising rare and precious medicinal herbs.

This led many cultivators to contribute spirit stones, even if they didn't participate in the auction, just to broaden their horizons.

"That depends on you guys." Ye Jingcheng smiled upon hearing this, his eyes filled with considerable expectation.

The Ye family's Nascent Soul stage combat power is definitely sufficient. As long as they reveal their full strength, even the Ziyang Immortal Sect and the Jinguang Temple will give up their spots in the Great Yu Realm to the Ye family.

Organizing such a large auction is not easy. First, you need to bring out enough breathtaking treasures; second, you need to prepare a large amount of spiritual tea and fruits; and third, you need to build many divine palaces.

Secondly, a large number of cultivators are needed to patrol and ensure the safety of the market and its surroundings; otherwise, it would be a joke if safety could not be guaranteed.

Finally, the Ye family must have enough outstanding talents in each of its various branches to hold small gatherings for Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators.

Otherwise, if a sect doesn't even have a slightly outstanding cultivator in a certain area, it will also be ridiculed and looked down upon.

The golden age of auctions cannot be created by a single auction.

After all, with 50,000 people and only 300 items up for auction, if there are no other tempting offers, it's still a failure.

Therefore, although the Ye family is capable of hosting the event, it is still quite difficult to host it well at present.

This is not due to the Ye family's top combat strength, but rather to the Ye family's high-level and mid-level combat strength.

"Even the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid is considered a common treasure, and it even carries a medicinal fragrance." One auction item after another was announced from afar.

This naturally moved Ye Tengming and Ye Qingnian.

In the end, Ye Tengming even bought a copy himself.

Of course, he didn't buy this himself. Over the years, his father took another concubine who gave birth to a younger brother for him.

During this period, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Qingnian also bought several medicinal herbs, but they did not sell any treasures, elixirs, or talismans.

"Fellow Daoists, next up is the auction of the grand finale treasure. The auction will be conducted using only high-grade spirit stones, and will not accept mid-grade or low-grade spirit stones. In addition, one top-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred and thirty high-grade spirit stones!" The auctioneer was an old man from the Purple Sand Sect. He was wearing a purple robe and had a purple beard, and he seemed particularly excited at this moment.

This auction was definitely the craziest one he had ever hosted.

There were no unsold items, and each item was sold at least 30% above its original price, with some even selling for double the original price.

Even though some of the treasures selected by them for the sixth-tier auction are only third to fifth-tier treasures.

However, these treasures were all ones they had investigated beforehand and had always needed.

At this moment, because the next trip to the Earthly Immortal Realm is only a little over a hundred years away, many cultivators have already begun to collect treasures to prepare for the Earthly Immortal Realm.

"The first and most important treasure is a cultivation technique obtained from the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Northern Yuan Profound Star Spiritual Scripture. This technique is a body cultivation method, which can be cultivated to the late stage of Void Refinement. The starting price is one thousand high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least one hundred high-grade spirit stones. Of course, as a Void Refinement technique, the bidder must swear an oath of primordial spirit to ensure that this technique will not be publicized!" The old man then took out a jade slip.

Even Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised, because he was also tempted by this technique.

The beasts that the Ye family uses can both increase cultivation speed and enhance the physical constitution of cultivators.

To allow the body cultivation techniques to exert extraordinary power.

Although the Ye family has many cultivation techniques, there is truly no better body-refining technique than this one.

“This technique must have limitations.” But Ye Jingcheng quickly calmed down.

Although the starting price was not high, countless people quickly raised it to eight thousand high-grade spirit stones.

Ye Jingcheng still felt that this technique might have some flaws.

After all, if it were a perfect body cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the late stage of Void Refinement, even the Ye family would not be able to produce it.

Seeing that the Nascent Soul Sect had not made a move, the old man made a stroke on the jade slip, revealing part of its contents to everyone.

Ye Jingcheng finally realized where the flaws in this technique lay.

This technique is very difficult to cultivate and requires the assistance of Heavenly Star Primordial Elixir.

Just like Ye Jingcheng's Nine Yin Profound Soul Spirit Scripture, which requires the Nine Yin Qi to assist in cultivation.

"However, anything under 13,000 high-grade spirit stones is acceptable. Qingnian, you make the bid!" Ye Jingcheng finally spoke up.

Although this technique may have some flaws, if the only missing element is suitable spiritual liquid, the Ye family can collect it from the Spirit Realm.

However, even after demonstrating the flaws in the technique, there were still too many cultivators eager to attend the auction.

In particular, this kind of body cultivation technique, which can be cultivated to the late stage of Void Refinement, has made countless immortal sects extremely eager for it.

Although the Ye family has a lot of high-grade spirit stones, it is important to know that the Ye family has upgraded two sixth-order spirit veins.

There are also plans to purchase sixth-order spirit gathering arrays and sixth-order spirit attracting stones to enhance the spiritual veins in the future.

At the same time, some spirit stones should be prepared in the cave to store spiritual energy in preparation for the upcoming battle with the Mu family.

In the end, the price successfully exceeded 16,000 high-grade spirit stones, causing the Ye family members to shake their heads.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng even considered taking out some of the cultivation techniques to sell.

But soon he shook his head and dismissed the unrealistic idea.

Cultivation techniques that can be sold are bound to have flaws; they will expose the weaknesses of the techniques. Unless the Ye family is really short of spirit stones, they will not pass on their core cultivation techniques.

This could determine the very survival of the Ye family cultivators.

"The second-tier final treasure, the sixth-tier Xuan Bone Nine Yin Qi, was extracted from a sixth-tier Fiend Corpse Lord. It's a good opportunity for many cultivators who practice demonic cultivation techniques, or those who want to refine their physical body or soul!"

"The starting bid for this item is one thousand high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be lower than one hundred!"

"Two thousand high-quality spirit stones!"

"Three thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

……

"Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!" Ye Jingcheng spoke up just as everyone was making their bids.

He was determined to obtain this Yin energy.

The Nine Yin Profound Soul Spiritual Scripture he cultivates requires high-level Nine Yin Qi.

With this high-level Nine Yin Qi, plus the Dream Devouring Insect and the refinement of several batches of sixth-order Soul Forging Pills, he was confident that he could raise his divine sense to the mid-sixth order within fifty years.

After all, his divine sense was already superior to that of ordinary cultivators. Even though the advantage was not as great after he reached the Nascent Soul stage, he still had a considerable advantage. With the addition of spiritual pills, spiritual insects, and the Nine Yin Qi, he was still confident in breaking through his divine sense.

Moreover, this breakthrough will allow him to unleash even more powerful spiritual treasures and Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures in one go, resulting in a tremendous increase in combat strength. Therefore, he doesn't feel it's a waste to spend any amount of spirit stones.

At worst, the Ye family could over-exploit the mining of top-grade spirit stones or sell large quantities of high-level spirit pills.

But he could not possibly give up this Yin energy.

"Eleven thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

"Thirteen thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

When others raised their bids, Ye Jingcheng immediately added back two thousand high-grade spirit stones.

At that moment, he did not hesitate at all, and showed everyone his determination.

However, the audience for this Nine Yin Qi is relatively small.

This allowed Ye Jingcheng to obtain the Nine Yin Qi for 13,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Although he lost a large amount of spirit stones, leaving his storage bag empty, he was extremely satisfied. Even if he gained nothing from the rest, his trip would still have been worthwhile.

Unlike ordinary treasures, these can be obtained later.

In less than ten breaths, someone arrived at Ye Jingcheng's door with this sixth-tier final magic treasure. While counting Ye Jingcheng's spirit stones, they also gave him a special talisman.

This talisman is somewhat similar to the bronze plaques from the trade fair; it is clearly a talisman that can teleport randomly over short distances.

Of course, the distance is not far.

After obtaining the Nine Yin Qi, Ye Jingcheng also conducted a special examination.

Upon examining the area with his divine sense, his entire soul felt as if it were being roasted in a furnace, experiencing excruciating pain. His hair stood on end, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He also felt that many hallucinations were starting to appear in his mind, which seemed particularly eerie!

Ye Jingcheng repeatedly collected the Nine Yin Qi, carefully sealed it in a jade box, and placed it in the cave before it completely disappeared.

"Next up is the third and final treasure, the Heaven-Sealing Diagram. You should all know about the Heaven-Sealing Sect, right? Even if you don't, you should know about it today!"

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the nearby Ten Yuan Realm and Eleven Xuan Realm were both the territory of the Fengtian Sect. At its peak, the Fengtian Sect had more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators. And this Fengtian Map leads to the Fengtian Sect's inheritance site..." The old man spoke vividly.

This left those cultivators who were unaware of the Fengtian Sect with an expression of disbelief.

Those who knew were now looking at each other with particularly intense gazes.

Although there are five copies of the Heaven Sealing Map, many people believe that knowing which realm and which world the Heaven Sealing Sect's lineage resides in is enough.

The treasure map itself is not important.

Therefore, the price exceeded Ye Jingcheng's expectations.

In the end, he directly bid 14,800 high-grade spirit stones, which was even higher than his Nine Yin Qi.

"These people are angry!" Ye Jingcheng estimated that the value of this Heavenly Sealing Map would not exceed ten thousand high-grade spirit stones.

The reason it has come to this point is that the already hostile Immortal Transformation Sects have started to compete maliciously.

Prices are getting higher and higher.

"The fourth and final treasure is the sixth-grade low-level magic weapon, the Purple Heaven Thunder Spear. This treasure can be activated without the need for a thunder magic cultivator. Simply by drawing in lightning and nurturing the spirit on a regular basis, the power of this spear can be continuously increased! The starting price for this treasure is five thousand high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least one hundred high-grade spirit stones higher!" After seeing that the final magic weapon had also been overpriced, the old man auctioning the auction was all smiles, his eyes almost completely hidden in the wrinkles of his old age.

With the appearance of the fourth and final treasure, the auction became incredibly intense once again.

More than twenty immortal sects began to bid.

This also includes the Zhengdao Sect and the Ziyang Sect.

This instantly extinguished Ye Jingcheng's original intention to bid.

Don't underestimate the value of sixth-tier magic weapons. Without being able to fully utilize the Tongbao Technique, many spiritual treasures are inferior to sixth-tier magic weapons.

However, spiritual treasures can also unleash considerable power even to Nascent Soul cultivators, which is why they are so sought after.

A sixth-tier lightning-attribute magic weapon appeared before them.

They can also raise Leiwei on ordinary days, which naturally makes them popular.

In particular, many cultivators are planning to smuggle themselves across the border. With such a sixth-tier magic weapon, their chances of survival in the alien territory of the spirit realm will definitely be much higher.

The final price reached 21,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Even Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but sigh, realizing that although the Ye family had annexed Penglai, they were still not wealthy enough.

"The fifth and final treasure is the mid-grade spiritual treasure, the Cloud Piercing Cone! This treasure has the effect of traversing the void. Whether it is fighting enemies, escaping, or even finding an alternative path to the Spirit Realm, it has considerable effect. If the owner of this treasure did not need to use a large number of spirit stones to upgrade to a mid-grade sixth-order spiritual vein, he would never have put it up for sale!"

"The starting bid for this treasure is eight thousand high-grade spirit stones. Each bid must be at least one hundred high-grade spirit stones higher. For items of equal value, the more top-grade spirit stones a bidder has, the higher the chance of winning!" This was said as the auction commenced.

Those Nascent Soul cultivators started bidding like crazy again.

At this moment, only Ye Jingcheng and Zheng Yuan Shenjun seemed relatively calm.

They all have methods of smuggling themselves into the country.

After thinking for a while, Ye Jingcheng still called out the price.

He felt that these final treasures were meant to encourage Nascent Soul cultivators to sneak across, check the situation, and confirm his suspicions from the previous trade fair.

Of course, it's also possible that someone is secretly watching to see if any cultivators have no interest in such a treasure.

Ye Jingcheng didn't want to stand out, so he had no choice but to ask for a price.

However, his price was naturally lost in the bidding frenzy.

In the end, it was auctioned off for 28,000 high-grade spirit stones, far exceeding the original price of this spiritual treasure.

Even so, along with the departure of this spiritual treasure, many Nascent Soul cultivators also left the scene.

Ye Jingcheng naturally understood what the departure of these cultivators meant.

However, he himself was facing the Mu family's crisis at any time, so he naturally couldn't think of taking advantage of any bargains. Therefore, he honestly drank the spiritual tea at the auction.

The final, most important treasure is also a spiritual treasure, and it's a mid-grade defensive spiritual treasure at that.

The auction price wasn't as high as before, only reaching 24,000 high-grade spirit stones.

As the auction concluded, the monks in the auction pavilion began to disperse.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yuan Divine Lord and Zi Yang Divine Lord also transmitted their voices to Ye Jingcheng:
"Jingcheng, shall we go back to the Great Yu Realm together?"

Both seemed worried that the Ye family was being targeted by the Mu family, and thus subtly intended to protect Ye Jingcheng.

Although Ye Jingcheng did not want to trouble the two, he did not think that the Mu family and Tianjiaohai would make a move at this time, and he did not want to disappoint their good intentions.

Therefore, I agreed to go together.

Before returning to the Great Yu Realm, Ye Jingcheng even sent a message to the barrier token!
