Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

As the auction concluded, countless cultivators, still filled with excitement, poured into the crowd.

A fifth-tier auction was a rare event in the Eastern Region, after all, the combined number of Core Formation cultivators from all sects wasn't that high, and that was before accounting for those in seclusion or focused on cultivation, making the number even smaller.

For example, at this trade fair, even with the Medicine King Valley and the Western Region's Core Formation cultivators combined, there were only about twenty people.

Moreover, that was considered a large number; usually, a formal small trade fair for Core Formation cultivators would only have five or six people.

The same was true for auctions; the last fifth-tier auction in the Eastern Region could be traced back to the Skyhorse Pass resisting the beast tide and Sikong Ziming's breakthrough to Core Formation, which was enough to show how rare fifth-tier auctions were.

Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingli, and the others also withdrew from the side.

As a Core Formation cultivator and a Core Formation power family, the Ye family naturally didn't need to squeeze out through the main entrance with everyone else; they had a special side entrance.

However, to Ye Jingcheng's surprise, True Monarch Qingchen was waiting for him.

The latter, dressed in a long robe, was waiting at the entrance of his temporary palace.

"Fellow Daoist Qingchen, this is…" Ye Jingcheng was naturally somewhat puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I've come this time to tell you good news," True Monarch Qingchen said with a smile.

Then, after looking around, Ye Jingcheng immediately understood and led True Monarch Qingchen towards the palace.

Ye Jingli and the rest of the Ye family members waited at the palace entrance.

Once inside the palace, after setting up the formation and lighting a faint incense in a censer, Ye Jingcheng also brewed spiritual tea.

True Monarch Qingchen then spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this is a great occasion. True Monk Jinling has decided to support us with some spiritual herbs and treasures. Fellow Daoist Ye can submit a list, and you can purchase them at normal prices. At the same time, you can arrange for family members to enter the Western Region. These family members can join Western Region sects. Of course, all of this needs to be done in secret," True Monarch Qingchen said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng revealed considerable interest.

Firstly, regarding the spiritual herbs, with the help of the Golden Light Temple, it would be easier for him to obtain the materials for advanced pills.

Secondly, arranging for family members to enter the Western Region was also important. The Ye family had been considering this since the Golden Light Temple began preaching.

For the Ye family, the strength of the Golden Light Temple wasn't the most important thing; what mattered most was its location.

According to some ancient records, the Golden Light Temple in the Western Region was mostly surrounded by deserts.

What the Ye family feared was that the Golden Light Temple's desert was connected to the Sand Sea. If that were the case, the Ye family would be constantly worried.

The divine sense of a Deity Transformation cultivator must be extremely terrifying, and if the Sand Sea was discovered, it would be difficult for the Ye family to protect the Earth Immortal Stage of the Illusion Sand Forbidden Land.

"Fellow Daoist Qingchen, I wonder if there are any taboos regarding this matter?" Ye Jingcheng then asked.

Regarding the family members sent to the Western Region, the Ye family naturally planned to use those without blood ties or those who hadn't communicated with beasts.

This way, the Ye family's secrets wouldn't be exposed.

Even family members who had been to the Sand Sea couldn't join.

Only family members who had always stayed on Lingyun Peak were suitable.

"There are no taboos, but the Western Region is more skilled in body refinement and values temperament," True Monarch Qingchen said.

After thinking for a while, he added:

"However, the number of people shouldn't be too many, three to four would be best. Also, it's best to prepare a sect entry gift for each of them."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded.

For such a large sect, offering some gifts would make it easier for their family members to act within the sect, so they wouldn't be completely without resources.

Moreover, the Ye family might be able to take this opportunity to set up a teleportation array and establish trade with the Western Region.

Of course, even if a teleportation array was set up, the Ye family wouldn't be able to use it in the short term, and it wouldn't be good to directly infiltrate the Western Region privately. It could only be said that they could simply judge whether the Western Region was connected to the Sand Sea.

In the following time, Ye Jingcheng indeed submitted a list.

On this list were some spiritual herbs he needed, as well as some mixed-in spiritual herbs.

As an alchemist, Ye Jingcheng knew how to conceal things to protect his pill formulas.

After the list was received, True Monarch Qingchen said a few words and then took his leave.

The Medicine King Valley had many things to deal with now, and they also had to guard against anyone causing trouble after participating in the auction.

Ye Jingcheng didn't have the intention to stay any longer and went straight to the teleportation array.

As the teleportation array activated, the white light shone brightly, and Ye Jingcheng and the Ye family members had already returned to Lingyun Peak.

Once at Lingyun Peak, Ye Jingcheng went straight to the council hall.

The selection of people for the Western Region was extremely crucial, the sooner the better. Moreover, this time, it would be best to have a high-level member of the Ye family go to the Western Region to better judge whether it was adjacent to the Sand Sea.

Inside the council hall, Ye Jingyu, Ye Jingfeng, and Ye Jingyun were already there.

The three were discussing the deployment of the Heavenly Saber Gate.

Now that the Heavenly Saber Gate was considered a sect under the Ye family, the Ye family had some decision-making power over the sect's security and the mining of spiritual veins.

Although it was safe now, caution was never excessive.

"Jingcheng, your arrival is just in time. A secret realm has been discovered in Yanhuai County, possibly a secret realm controlled by the Eight Desolate Sect in the past. We are now discussing whether to venture into it," Ye Jingyu said upon seeing Ye Jingcheng's arrival.

Qinghe Sect's four counties were the largest four counties in Yan Country, and their secret realms and treasures were also numerous.

This time, the secret realm was within Yanhuai County. Speaking of which, the Ye family's first high-grade spirit stone mine was within Yanhuai County, and it was there that they obtained part of Dan Huang's inheritance.

But precisely because it was within Yanhuai County, the Ye family needed to worry whether this was a trap set by the Qinghe Sect.
