An antique-style tavern, with light blue sandalwood incense slowly burning.
Inside the room, smoke filled the air as two cultivators dressed in Li family attire slowly entered.
Inside, a middle-aged cultivator with a stern face looked at the two.
"Xiang Yu, Xiang Fei, have you inquired about everything?"
"Reporting, Seventh Uncle, we have questioned all the rogue cultivators who run the business of guiding people in the market. None of them match the Ye family's description. Moreover, I have investigated even the suspicious fake rogue cultivators!" The taller Li Xiangyu reported with his head lowered.
"Keep investigating. The Ye family will definitely come!" Li Yufu continued.
"Seventh Uncle, isn't the Ye family short-handed? Their arrangement in the Taihang market seems somewhat lacking!" Li Xiangfei asked, puzzled.
"Short-handed? Hmph! The number of family cultivators reported to the sect as deceased by the Ye family every year is the highest!"
"Their Ye family controls spirit beasts. Do you think they're doing worse than us in the Taihang Mountains?" Li Yufu said unhappily.
"Last time, your eldest uncle went to Lingyun Peak. Ye Haicheng has a high chance of breaking through. This time, the major families are not worried about the Ye family buying Foundation Establishment Pills, but about the Ye family buying Violet Mansion Jade Liquid!"
"Ye Haicheng is a body cultivator!" Li Yufu said worriedly.
"If he breaks through, the little world of Taihang Market will change!"
Li Xiangyu and Li Xiangfei suddenly became alert, feeling a little fearful.
"Also, pay more attention to the Chu family. The Chu family's old patriarch, Chu Tianfen, had a good daughter who managed to marry Superior Mingyuan of the Taiyi Sect!"
"The third Violet Mansion family in Taihang Market must be our Li family. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Seventh Uncle!" Li Xiangyu and Li Xiangfei both nodded.
"Both of you are almost at the ninth level of Qi training. If you do well, the Foundation Establishment Pills that the family buys this time will be yours!"
The two were overjoyed at Li Yufu's words.
In recent years, the Li family has lost two Foundation Establishment cultivators in a row, making their current Foundation Establishment combat power somewhat insufficient.
This is also the reason why they, the Li family, are here.
They must ensure that two of the Foundation Establishment Pills issued by the Taiyi Sect this time fall into the hands of the Li family.
Only then can the Li family restore its former glory.
......
Taihang Market, with the upcoming auction, has also seen an increase in rogue cultivators and cultivators.
The market managers of the Xu family and Mo family also began to summon the heads of the four major families to appear together at Mo's Tavern.
Inside the luxurious hall, spirit fruits and spirit tea were placed in front of all Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The spirit fruits were first-grade top-quality spirit fruits, and the spirit tea was even first-grade top-quality Red Fragrance Tea.
Various spirit dishes were also placed on the table.
Jiang Jinghe, as the market master, sat at the top, followed by the heads of the six major families.
"Everyone, the sect has distributed six Foundation Establishment Pills. This time, for the auction, the other treasures still need to be collected by each family. This auction must be grand!" Market Master Jiang said with a resounding voice.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the six family heads, including Ye Xingliu, changed.
You must know that according to previous news, there was a budget of eight Foundation Establishment Pills this time.
Now, suddenly changing to six means that the six major families can only get one on average, but two are Violet Mansion families and four are Foundation Establishment families, so how is it possible to divide them equally?
However, although everyone was dissatisfied, they were also helpless. This Jiang Jinghe was the market master appointed by the Taiyi Sect.
He was also a Taiyi Sect cultivator. Deductions had occurred in the past, but this was the first time that two pills had been deducted at once.
"Market Master Jiang, is there anything unusual about this auction?" Li Muhe, the head of the Li family, couldn't help but ask.
This matter had a great impact on the Li family.
After all, the Li family urgently needed new Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"No abnormalities. Does Fellow Daoist Li have any abnormalities to report?" Jiang Jinghe asked.
"In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the Foundation Establishment Pills, this time, I will have to trouble each of you to send two Foundation Establishment cultivators to stay in the market!"
"The Ye family can replace them with second-tier spirit beasts!" Seeing the change in Ye Xingliu's face, Jiang Jinghe also spoke.
"The Ye family has no objection to this matter. In addition, here are the treasures that the Ye family needs to auction. Last time, the Ye family auctioned a problematic Blood Heart Pill. This time, I hope everyone will let my Ye family auction a little more to earn more spirit stones, otherwise, a thorough investigation will not be good for anyone!" Ye Xingliu first agreed to Jiang Jinghe's words, and then changed the subject.
The market hands over 30% of its income to the sect, and the six major families occupy the remaining 70%!
If the Ye family auctions a little more, it will naturally encroach on the quotas of other families.
This time, the other three Foundation Establishment families did not refute!
Including the Xu family and the Mo family, they only handed over jade slips, with a lot of contemplation in their eyes, but rarely spoke.
"Then it's decided. The safety of the market in the coming days will depend on everyone!" Jiang Jinghe said.
......
In a deserted valley, swarms of black wood ants were marching towards the front.
The black wood ants also carried a lot of wild beast meat on their backs.
When the black wood ants drilled into a cave, an underground hall suddenly appeared.
There were many cultivators in the hall at the moment, with Ye Xingyu in the very center, and Ye Jingyong and Ye Jingli beside him.
"Seventh Brother, how is it?" Ye Xingyu asked Ye Xingqun.
"Nothing happened. The Chu family's defenses have been relaxed a lot, probably because of the auction!"
"Moreover, I found that the Chu family also raises Fire-Patterned Rabbits in Jade Departure Valley. These rabbits are very beautiful, and their meat is delicious!"
"The Chu family is really a good hand!" Ye Xingqun exclaimed, also revealing a smile!
"Seventh Brother, I still need to trouble you to explore again. Although Taihang Market involves two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Taichang Market is estimated to also have Foundation Establishment cultivators leaving, but the Chu family's development has not been weak in recent years, so we must investigate clearly!" Ye Xingyu said.
Ye Xingqun also nodded, and once again let a few black wood ants crawl out.
Several cultivators also went to various stone rooms to sit and recover.
At this time, Ye Xingyu respectfully looked at a cultivator wearing a spirit-isolating robe behind him.
The other party nodded, and Ye Xingyu was immediately relieved.
......
Taichang Market, Ye Jingcheng went to the stalls almost every day, and on the third day, he also set up a stall.
The stall was propped open with a piece of spirit cloth, and several jade bottles were placed inside.
These were the elixirs refined by Ye Jingcheng. This time, he mainly sold Qingling Pills, Qi-Returning Pills, and Ice Cleansing Pills.
The auxiliary sales were mixed, including Qi-Nourishing Pills for improving cultivation at the first-tier low-grade, Qi-Blood Pills for recovering injuries at the first-tier mid-grade, and the most common Valley Avoiding Pills.
The huge traffic of the market, coupled with the honest prices sold by Ye Jingcheng, made them sell very well.
"How are these Qingling Pills sold?" A clear female voice sounded.
Ye Jingcheng looked up, but only saw Xu Xiuqing wearing a green dress, squatting down.
Under the reflection of the red glow in the sky, Xu Xiuqing's eyes were brighter than ever.
But that brightness turned into doubt in an instant.
"Ten spirit stones each, buy five and get a discount of two spirit stones!" Ye Jingcheng said.
"Give me ten!" Xu Xiuqing said, and then handed over a bag containing ninety-six spirit stones.
Ye Jingcheng handed two pill bottles to the other party, but the other party swiped on Ye Jingcheng's palm.
Ye Jingcheng's eyes turned cold.
A hint of disappointment appeared in Xu Xiuqing's suspicious eyes.
Ye Jingcheng took out the powder from the storage bag and wiped it in his hand, as if afraid that Xu Xiuqing would poison him.
Xu Xiuqing was even more disappointed.
"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Tang, this concubine has taken the liberty. This concubine remembered an old friend, and this concubine apologizes to Fellow Daoist here."
"Does your old friend also have incompatible spiritual roots?" Ye Jingcheng asked suspiciously.
Xu Xiuqing shook her head, and then looked at a sign next to Ye Jingcheng.
"This concubine has some poisonous flower seeds here. If Fellow Daoist wants them, you can sell them to you!" Xu Xiuqing said, and then she spread out her palm.
A small jade box appeared, and the jade box was now completely black.
Through the black jade, you can still vaguely see more than thirty black seeds inside.
"Fellow Daoist Tang, this seed is called Black Cloud Flower. After it matures, it will condense Black Cloud Miasma, which is not a small hazard. It is very good as the first line of defense for large mountain and river formations!"
"It will be given to Fellow Daoist Tang as a gift, as the life-saving grace of Fellow Daoist and Duke Ling last time!"
"There was no saving!" Ye Jingcheng took the black jade box and threw the cloth bag he had just taken out back to Xu Xiuqing.
This Black Cloud Flower is actually one level higher than the Violet Illusion Flower, belonging to the first-tier top-grade poisonous flower, but although this Black Cloud Flower produces a lot of miasma, it only blooms once every three years.
Otherwise, the value would be even higher.
In fact, Ye Jingcheng would have given about sixty spirit stones.
It was only at this moment that Xu Xiuqing wanted to leave again that he threw all ninety-six over.
Xu Xiuqing didn't want to accept it, but she only saw Ye Jingcheng's jade box also ready to be handed out.
Xu Xiuqing collected the bag she had taken out earlier and disappeared at the end of the stall market.
Ye Jingcheng shook his head, but he felt a little helpless in his heart. A woman's intuition is indeed accurate.
When the other party touched his hand, he felt that the other party had already seen it.
Because her action of touching Ye Jingcheng's hand was very similar to when Ye Jingcheng used to touch the head of the Goldscale Beast.
Furthermore, mentioning an old friend was already a very obvious test.
Now, he can only hope that this Xu Xiuqing can understand that they don't want to be recognized.
Then Ye Jingcheng set up the stall for another hour. After packing up the stall as usual, he strolled around the stalls again. Now the square was even more crowded.
The effect was also very good.
Allowing him to find all the advanced spirit herbs for the Five Poison Bees!
If it weren't for being in Taichang Market, Ye Jingcheng would have wanted to go back and quickly start the furnace.
His mood also improved a bit.
When he returned to the small bungalow and found that Xu Xiuqing was not there, Ye Jingcheng walked in, and Ye Haiyi also looked over.
"Haobo, in three days, there will be a Alchemist Exchange Meeting. You should participate at that time. Also, don't set up a stall these two days. Take good care of yourself!" Ye Haiyi said.
This made Ye Jingcheng's heart a little nervous again. He thought it was because of Xu Xiuqing's matter, but the next moment, Ye Jingcheng saw Ye Haiyi opening the formation again. This time, the formation was opened more thoroughly!
His eyes became even more serious.
"Open the tattoo!" Ye Haiyi flipped his hand, and the Spirit Beast Tattoo flashed slightly. Ye Jingcheng also nodded, releasing the Spirit Beast Tattoo for a moment!
Ye Haiyi was also much relieved, and took out a storage bag and a spirit beast bag to Ye Jingcheng!
