Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 783: The wealthy Ye family takes action (three-in-one monthly ticket request)
The auction house in Taihangfang City was also rebuilt. The layout of the entire auction house is divided into a hall, a compartment at the back, and private rooms on the second and third floors.

Unlike in the hall, there were no extra spiritual objects, and even the chairs were ordinary stone tables.

In the compartment, there were mahogany nanmu chairs covered with brocade. In front of the seats, there was an eight-immortal table with spiritual fruits and spiritual tea on it.

Although the spiritual tea is just ordinary winter jasmine tea, the spiritual fruit is just ordinary spiritual apricot fruit.

But it still made those family cultivators and foundation-building cultivators talk about it with relish. After all, the admission spirit stones they gave were the same as those given by other cultivators.

But he enjoyed an extra benefit.

Naturally, this also satisfies the sense of superiority they have cultivated for so many years.

And at this moment, in a back compartment.

Five or six cultivators fell among them. They were wearing special robes of the Wei family and looked quite majestic at this moment.

"Uncle Zhong, do we really want to do this?" A middle-aged cultivator from the Zhong family turned around and asked Wei Dazhong while holding up a jade slip.

"Yes, the current Ye family is a dragon-rising clan. Whether it is the Taiyi Sect supporting them or the Ye family having that kind of luck, just based on the current situation of the Ye family, it is worth our Wei family's investment!"

"You have participated in many auctions, but which third-level auction can be as good as today's!"

"I, Wei Dazhong, don't think I have any great abilities, so I can only take advantage of the situation. You should also remember one thing, don't dream of developing into anything in one step. What happened to those elders before? They took the resources stored by the family for hundreds of years, but they were still blocked at the door and killed? They even caused our Wei family to lose the mountain. This is a great shame!"

“So next, listen to me carefully. Once the Ye family’s treasures fail to sell, we, the Wei family, will bid for them. We will even act as agents to drive up the prices of the finale treasures and some of the more precious treasures!” Wei Dazhong transmitted the message repeatedly.

If before the beast tide, he felt that the Ye family was just an ordinary Purple Mansion family.

But after that beast tide, the entire Taihang County fell into the hands of the Ye family, and he had only one thought in his mind.

Either the Ye family has powerful means or the Ye family has powerful background.

But no matter what, the Ye family's future is limitless.

At the moment, the Ye family is also in a period of development. As long as they can rely on this big tree, their Wei family may not be able to become a Purple Mansion family or even higher.

"Uncle Zhong, what should we do if other families think we are agents and anger the Ye family?" Someone from the Wei family suggested.

"It's better to admit that you are my helper. This way, we can be bound by the Ye family's affection and have a chance to redeem Taicang Mountain. As for what other people think, it has nothing to do with my Wei family."

"Uncle Zhong, what if no one bids after we do?" Someone from the Wei family sent a message.

"Buy it with all your might, but be careful, after reaching a certain level, don't add any more!" Wei Dazhong said, gritting his teeth.

He had a hunch that the Ye family was their Wei family's opportunity.

……

At this moment, in many compartments, there were also several other small foundation-building families who had the same idea as the Wei family.

However, they were making preparations secretly and would not let the treasures flow into auction. As for raising the prices, they still did not dare to do so.

Even in the private room on the second floor, Xiao Shaoan gave the same instructions to his clansmen.

"Next, you must ensure that the Ye family's auction items have a 30% premium for ordinary items and a 50% premium for precious items!"

Xiao Shaoan still has a magic weapon in his hand at this moment.

This magic weapon allowed him to see the skills of the Zhang family of Yong'an.

This means that the inheritance of the Yong'an Zhang family may have fallen into the hands of the Ye family.

You have to know that they had reached a cooperation with the Ye family before, whereby the Ye family sold a batch of magic weapons to the Xiao family. On the one hand, the Xiao family kept them for themselves, and on the other hand, they transferred them to the Tiandao Sect.

Now the quality of the Ye family’s magic weapons seems to be better than expected, so they naturally don’t mind contributing at the auction to help the Ye family develop better in the future.

Of course, in addition to cooperating with the Ye family, Mo Dao Zhenren of the Tiandao Sect also instructed him to make friends with the Ye family.

……

"Dear fellow Taoists and seniors who have come from afar, my name is Ye Jingyun, and I am also the auctioneer of this auction!" Just as everyone was discussing different opinions, it was time for the auction to begin.

Ye Jingyun walked into the circular platform in the middle. Behind him, there were several members of the Ye family, holding wooden plates covered with jade cloth.

"The rules of this auction are similar to other auctions. The highest bidder wins. If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can use treasures of equivalent value to offset the price. The price of the treasures is 95% of the market price..."

Ye Jingyun briefly explained the auction rules and then started the auction.

He opened the first wooden plate, and the magic weapon inside the wooden plate was twenty spiritual sunflowers from the second-level sunflower wood monster.

"This treasure is a second-grade top-grade fire spirit sunflower. It bears fruit once every twenty years, and only twenty fruits at a time. Its true form is a wood demon that has become a spirit. Taking this spirit sunflower can not only improve your cultivation, but you may even be able to comprehend the special sunflower spirit fire!" Ye Jingyun said with a little embellishment and exaggeration.

He picked up one of the spiritual sunflowers and casually cast a spiritual spell. In an instant, golden flames shone.

It also excited all the alchemists and weapon refiners in the entire auction hall.

Spiritual fire is extremely important to alchemists and weapon refiners. A treasure that can allow cultivators to master special spiritual fire and enhance the fire power of the spiritual platform is naturally a rare treasure.

"The starting price of Fire Spirit Sunflower is eight thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred!" Ye Jingyun also spoke and set a price that was not high.

You know, a second-grade top-quality spiritual object, even an ordinary one, would cost around 10,000 spirit stones.

Not to mention that this spiritual creature may be able to control the Golden Sunflower Spirit Fire.

"Nine thousand spirit stones!"

"Ten thousand spirit stones!"

……

"Fifteen thousand spirit stones!" In a short while, the price of spiritual objects had nearly doubled.

The most important thing is that there are still many people bidding at this price.

This also stunned those who had originally planned to drive up the price.

Because of the speed at which the price is rising, they are a little scared.

"Nineteen thousand spirit stones!" The one who spoke at this moment was the cultivator in the private room on the third floor.

Some people also recognized him by his voice. It was Ling Yunshui from the Ling family in Xin'an County of Zhao State.

He is a third-rank alchemist in the early Purple Mansion stage.

Of course, compared to himself, what is more shocking is the Ling family behind him.

Although it is highly likely that there are no Jindan cultivators coming from the Ling family, they are a Jindan family after all.

Naturally, this made many cultivators respect the Ye family even more.

"Twenty thousand spirit stones!" After Ling Yunshui made the offer, another voice sounded.

Also from the private room on the third floor.

But this time, no one could tell who it was.

The monk who made the offer seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally concealed the characteristics of his voice.

Of course, some foundation-building families and foundation-building cultivators knew clearly at this moment that this was clearly the favored daughter of the Gu family, Gu Shenglan, who dressed as a man all day long.

"Look, the Gu family and the Ling family are both on good terms with the Ye family. The Ye family is truly amazing!" At this moment, inside the compartment, Wei Dazhong slapped his thigh, his expression becoming even more delighted.

In his opinion, the price of the spiritual sunflower seeds is not as good as that of the foundation-building pills.

But now, the competition between the two families would probably require at least 20,000 spirit stones.

It is only a matter of time before the price exceeds that of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

And in the end, the Lingkuizi really ended up with 25,000 spirit stones and was photographed by Gu Shenglan.

The people off the field had the same expression as Wei Dazhong at this moment.

They were shocked by the rare treasures that the Ye family brought out, and also by the fact that the Gu and Ling families gave face to the Ye family.

For a moment, I became more and more looking forward to the Ye family's treasures.

You should know that half of the treasures that the Ye family is auctioning this time have been announced, but the other half is still secret. For example, the finale treasure, now only the Tiangang Qi, the third-level talisman, and a third-level low-grade Danwen Wushui Pill have been leaked.

The Ye family announced six treasures as the finale this time.

While everyone was shocked, Ye Jingyun clapped his hands, and the second wooden plate came up.

Under the brocade cloth, it appeared slightly round, and some monks guessed that it was a spiritual egg.

After all, the Ye family is a family of spiritual beasts.

As Ye Jingyun uncovered the cloth, a scarlet beast egg appeared before everyone.

"The second auction item is the Fire Cloud Bird Beast Egg!"

"If you don't know what the Fire Cloud Bird is, you can go west to Yulong Valley in the Taihang Mountains. There is Chixia Mountain. Apart from the Three-Eyed Monster Peng clan, the most powerful ones in Chixia Mountain are the Fire Swallowing Sparrow and the Fire Cloud Bird!"

"And this spiritual egg is the egg of the Fire Cloud Bird, and it was secretly obtained by the Ye family by chance!"

"When this bird is born, there is a high probability that it will be in the late first stage. If it is trained well, it is very likely to reach the third stage!" Ye Jingyun introduced.

At this moment, all the monks suddenly felt dry mouth and tongue.

Of course they knew the name of the Fire Cloud Bird.

But they didn't expect that the Ye family would also sell the eggs of the Fire Cloud Bird.

Even the immortal cultivation families were excited.

After all, the lifespan of spiritual beasts is longer than that of cultivators. If this Fire Cloud Bird can be cultivated to the third level, it may be able to protect the family for hundreds of years.

This is a treasure that no family can refuse.

Even though the possibility of this Fire Cloud Bird advancing to the third level is not high, for many monsters, being able to advance to the third level already means that they have a very high talent.

"The starting price for the Fire Cloud Bird Beast Egg is 4,000 Spiritual Stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 100 Spiritual Stones!"

"Four thousand one hundred spirit stones."

"Four thousand two hundred spirit stones."

……

This time, it was the monks in the compartments who were the most lively.

Both the independent foundation-building cultivators and the Zifu family, a foundation-building family, are extremely interested.

After a while, the price of the beast eggs reached eight thousand spirit stones and was approaching ten thousand.

"Eleven thousand spirit stones!" It was Wei Dazhong who spoke at this moment.

For the first auction item, the Gu family and the Ling family performed well, and Wei Dazhong now wanted to be the second one.

So I just added three thousand spirit stones.

This also completely overshadowed everything.

While shocking many cultivators, even the other cultivators of the Wei family were shocked at this moment. After all, adding three thousand spirit stones at one time was not a small amount for the Wei family.

The Wei family's annual financial income is only about 10,000 spirit stones. After deducting the clan members' salaries, there is not much left.

At this moment, even Ye Jingyun couldn't help but look at Wei Dazhong again.

After all, Wei Dazhong has indeed shown enough goodwill towards the Ye family over the years.

"Eleven thousand five hundred spirit stones!" However, before Wei Dazhong could be happy, Xiao Shaoan's voice was heard in the private room on the second floor.

After hearing this, Wei Dazhong had no choice but to sit down on his chair, although he still wanted to show himself.

But the other party is the Xiao family after all.

"Do you think three thousand spirit stones are a lot?" Wei Dazhong turned around and looked at the other members of the Wei family.

He took a bitter sip of the spiritual tea and kept his head down without bidding any more.

……

The following auction items are also very valuable.

There are first-level rare spiritual materials, first-level top-grade magical weapons, and first-level top-grade spiritual pills.

Among them, most of the first-grade top-grade magical weapons were made by Ye Jingli, and they were extremely popular.

After a round of ten treasures fell, everyone looked unsatisfied.

The taking out of the eleventh treasure brought the auction to a climax again.

"Everyone, the next treasures are from Taiyi Sect and other families. The first treasure is the Earthly Evil Qi!"

"This thing is the energy of the mysterious Yin Earth Demon. For fellow Taoists who practice water-attributed or wood-attributed techniques, this thing is the best choice for breaking through the foundation!"

"As for the many functions of this item, I will not introduce them in detail. The starting price is five thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred spirit stones!" Ye Jingyun said.

As the evil spirit of the earth began to gather momentum, the auction became even more heated.

For many Qigong practitioners, what they are waiting for is the treasure that can help them break through the foundation. Once they start talking, they can't stop.

After a while, the amount reached 13,000 spirit stones.

The normal price of Earthly Evil Energy is also at this level, and at this moment Wei Dazhong also started bidding hard again.

He had also planned to drive up the price.

But he didn't expect that the Ye family's auction didn't require any bidding. With so many treasures, he had very few opportunities to bid.

Now he is not interested in the Foundation Building Pills. There are only five Foundation Building Pills and two Earthly Evil Auras. He is going to take the first Earthly Evil Aura.

Of course, he also wanted to buy it at a premium.

Finally, the dust settled on the evil spirit of the earth, and the transaction price was 17,000 spirit stones.

This is definitely higher than the price of Earthly Evil Energy at many auctions.

After all, if the Earthly Evil Energy breaks through, there is a risk of failure in the breakthrough.

It is much worse than the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The second portion of Earthly Evil Energy was also sold for the price of 16,000 spirit stones.

Five foundation-building pills were sold for an average of twenty-five thousand spirit stones each.

Even after a round of foundation-building pills were taken, many cultivators in the hall had ruddy complexions, as if they had yelled too loudly before and their blood circulation was not flowing smoothly.

After the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill was over, the Ye family also started auctioning some ordinary treasures again.

Such as second-level ordinary magic weapons, second-level elixirs, and second-level elixirs.

There are even some slightly rare second-level pill recipes.

At this moment, not to mention those Qi-cultivating cultivators, even those family cultivators had the illusion of participating in a sect-level auction in Taichang Market.

After all, the Ye family’s treasures are so abundant.

From spiritual beasts, spiritual pills, magical instruments, formations, to spiritual medicines, everything is available.

……

The auction came to an end, and Ye Jingyun let out a long sigh of relief.

He tried hard to suppress the joy on his lips.

After all, this time, the effect of the auction was fully achieved.

This time, the reputation of the Ye family not only had a considerable influence in the three counties of Taiyi, but also spread to the four Tiandao counties under the Tiandao Sect, as well as the immortal cultivation counties such as Xin'an County and Lingfu County of Zhao State.

Ye Jingyun could already foresee the huge chamber of commerce network that the Ye family’s chamber of commerce would build in the future.

At that time, the Ye family would not only sell spirit fish, but more importantly, they could use the Ye family's magic weapons and elixirs to exchange for sufficiently precious spirit medicines and mineral materials.

This is the important treasure that will accelerate the development of the Ye family.

Moreover, the Ye family cannot do this by developing secretly.

Of course, while his thoughts were surging, Ye Jingyun also gritted his teeth and tried hard to suppress his thoughts.

Then he summoned the last treasure before the finale magic weapon.

This treasure is the size of a palm, shiny red, and has four-colored spiritual patterns.

It is the four-colored bone fire bead.

"I'm sure everyone has heard of this treasure during the beast tide!"

"This treasure is called the Four-Colored Bone Fire Pearl. Although it is a one-time pearl, it can exert an impact no less than a blow from a peak Foundation Establishment Fire Cultivator!"

"At the same time, this treasure can also be used as a magic weapon and taken into the body. It can definitely be of great use at the critical moment!"

Ye Jingyun couldn't help but introduce.

And this time, no one disbelieved it.

After all, the other cultivators had seen these four-color bone fire beads during the beast tide!
Therefore, as soon as it was brought out, it caused quite a stir.

Even Ye Jingteng in the private room on the third floor was very interested at this moment.

He had not made any bids before and was planning to be the last one to bid.

After all, he is the eldest of the Ye Jiajing generation.

As for the finale treasure of the auction, he was afraid that he did not have enough spirit stones in his pocket.

It is just the right time to auction these four-colored bone fire beads.

"The starting price of this treasure is 10,000 spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 300 spirit stones!" This time Ye Jingyun spoke, and couldn't help but look at Ye Jingli who was in the private room on the second floor.

“Old Nine, this is really…” Ye Jingli was actually a little moved when he heard this.

After all, the starting prices of the other treasures of the Ye family were lower than the market price, but the other party set a high starting price for Ye Jingli's four-color bone fire beads.

And the minimum bid must not be less than three hundred spirit stones.

This is clearly to build momentum for him.

"Eleven thousand spirit stones!"

"Twelve thousand spirit stones!"

……

"Twenty thousand spirit stones!" It was Ye Jingteng who spoke this time.

As Ye Jingteng spoke, the scene became quiet.

Twenty thousand spirit stones are almost the price of a foundation-building pill, but they only buy a disposable magic weapon, even if it is a second-grade top-grade fire bead.

It’s already very high.

The normal price of a disposable third-level thunder tribulation bead is around 30,000 to 40,000 spirit stones.

The gap between the second and third levels is enormous.

"Next is the finale treasure auction!" Ye Jingyun introduced.

At the same time, after the auction, Ye Jingcheng also walked in wearing a Taiyi Taoist robe.

Within the Taiyi Sect, all Purple Mansion cultivators will be granted the title of outer sect deacons of the Taiyi Sect.

There was naturally no problem for Ye Jingcheng to wear the Taoist robe of Taiyi Sect at the moment.

This also further demonstrates the Ye family's respect for Taiyi Sect.

"My fellow comrades and seniors, I will be the one bidding for the next auction. I hope you will continue to support the Ye family, Taihang Market, and Taiyi Sect in the future!" Of course, the Ye Jingcheng who spoke was not Ye Jingcheng himself, but Ye Jingyu in disguise.

At this moment, he slowly took out a storage bag and began to take out the first treasure.

"This first finale treasure is the talisman of the third-grade top-grade magic weapon Xuanqing Bell. It is also the first finale treasure auctioned by the sect!" Ye Jingyu took out a green talisman and introduced it:

"The starting price of this talisman is 20,000 spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 500 spirit stones!" Ye Jingyu did not introduce too much.

But the name of Taiyi Sect alone is enough to convince many people.

There were also many monks participating in the auction.

After all, even Qi-cultivating monks can activate talismans, but the speed at which they activate them is extremely slow, and they cannot exert the power of the talismans at all.

When a foundation-building cultivator activates this kind of talisman, it is much faster.

In the end, it was bought by the Ling family for 38,000 spirit stones.

Ye Jingyu continued to take out the second finale magic weapon.

This is an emerald green pill bottle. Inside the bottle, there are two elixirs with exquisite spiritual patterns, emitting a rich elixir fragrance.

It is the Wushuidan with dan patterns!
"This treasure is the Wushui Pill, which can greatly improve the cultivation of cultivators who practice water magic. These two pills are also Ye's famous works. Both have dan patterns and rays of light. If you auction them together, the starting price is 20,000 spirit stones!" Ye Jingyu continued.

As Ye Jingyu spoke, the monks in the private room on the second floor and the attic on the third floor also started to fight for the space.

The third-level Wu Shui Dan is not rare, but the third-level Wu Shui Dan with Danwen is rare.

Such elixir not only does not cause poison, but most importantly, it is extremely effective.

In the end, it was sold at the same high price of 43,000 spirit stones.

"The third and finale treasure is the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk. I obtained this treasure in the secret realm. One drop can restore all the true essence of a Purple Mansion cultivator. There are three drops in total. Not only will they be sold individually, but the starting price is also 20,000 spirit stones!" Ye Jingyu continued.

The auction of the third finale treasure also began.

As the final treasure was being auctioned, the monks in the auction hall, in addition to being shocked and envious, also discovered that the auction seemed a little weird.

The competition has gotten a lot worse.

At the same time, the tempo has also become much faster.

Of course, at this moment, most cultivators still just think that it is because there are not many Purple Mansion cultivators and Purple Mansion Jindan families.

At the same time, everyone was looking forward to the Tiangang Qi that Taiyi Sect would bring out.

The last three drops of Centennial Milk were only sold for 48,000 yuan.

The fourth treasure is the third-level star pear fruit.

"A third-grade, mid-quality Star Pear Fruit, also a spiritual fruit produced by a wood demon. There are three of them in total. If you have a good enough talent, you may even be able to comprehend the Illusion Eyes spell!"

"The starting price for this treasure is thirty thousand spirit stones!"

As the price of the star pear fruit increased, the moment once again caused a sensation.

The Ling family, the Gu family, the Xiao family, and even the Jin family and the Kong family who had remained silent all spoke up.

In the end, it was sold at a high price of 56,000 spirit stones.

This is the highest price paid for a treasure at this auction.

And now, it’s time for the last two treasures.

Ye Jingyu paused and took a deep breath.

He took out two treasures from his storage bag in one breath.

"The next two treasures were both bought by the sect. The first one is the Mysterious Jade Lock Magical Treasure, and the second one is the Heavenly Gang Qi!"

"First, bid on the Mysterious Jade Lock. This treasure is a third-level mid-grade magic weapon. It can defend against spiritual attacks and can also be used to attack and siege treasures. The starting price is 60,000 spirit stones..."

Ye Jingyu raised the Xuanyu Lock.

However, just as Ye Jingyu raised it, a terrifying golden elixir aura fell on the entire auction hall.

Pressing towards Ye Jingcheng, who was transformed by Ye Jingyu.

“My name is Ming Guan, and I’m also a weapon refiner. However, your Xuan Yu Lock and Tian Gang Qi are not real!” A cultivator walked out of the room on the second floor, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the Xuan Yu Lock and Tian Gang Qi.

It turned out to be a robbery!

In fact, because of the rampant golden elixir aura, many Qi training practitioners began to vomit blood.

This was not something the Jindan cultivator did intentionally; it was just the release of his aura.

This is enough to show the gap between Jindan and Qi training.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng, who was transformed by Ye Jingyu, also changed his expression greatly.

His body kept retreating and he began to activate the formation, but it was completely useless. The gap between Jindan and Zifu was clearly revealed at this moment!
At the same time, Liu Huan, Ye Jingteng and Chen Yunzi who were on the third floor walked out one after another.

"Be bold!"

This was Taiyi Sect's auction, so naturally, several people were furious.

This is clearly a slap in the face of Taiyi Sect!
"boom!"

At this moment, an even more powerful aura appeared and turned into another spiritual hand to block the old monster Mingguan.

Ye Jingteng and Liu Huan shouted at the right time:

"Uncle Master!"

"Master Xuan Dao is here!" At this moment all the cultivators couldn't help but feel puzzled.

But at the same time, he was once again shocked by the powerful background of the Ye family.

It was said that Master Xuan Dao was in seclusion, but now he appeared in Taihang Market, protecting the Ye family.
