Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Inside the enormous auction pavilion, the aura of the Violet Palace pressed down.

Boom!

A series of heavy chimes began to resonate throughout the entire auction hall.

Ye Haicheng ascended into the air, riding a massive Earth Lizard Great Demon, its ferocious jaws and thick scales all displaying terrifying combat power.

Ye Haicheng's figure also became even more imposing.

The pressure of the dual Violet Palaces caused everyone to subconsciously lower their heads.

Ye Haicheng scanned the venue before slowly speaking:

"Fellow cultivators, I am Ye Haicheng of the Ye family, and I am honored to preside over the opening of the Yuanling Market auction today!"

"Regarding the Ye family, many of you have questions, but let me clearly state that our Ye family will lead the development of the cultivation world and restore a powerful Sand Sea for everyone!"

"The cultivation world should allow a hundred schools of thought to contend!"

"The oases auctioned this time all come with a hundred years of autonomous rights, and within those hundred years, the Ye family will protect your oases from any problems, so please bid freely. Even if you fellow Daoists unfortunately pass away within a hundred years, the oasis will be inherited by your descendants!"

"Therefore, please feel free to develop the Sand Sea oases!"

"At the same time, those who open up new oases can also enjoy these rights!"

Ye Haicheng's words, in just a few sentences, immediately excited everyone.

A hundred years of autonomous rights, coupled with a hundred years of protection, naturally maximized the value of the oases.

The cultivators who were originally hesitant instantly made up their minds.

At the same time, they couldn't help but recall some of the Ye family's recent actions: lowering the prices of Welcoming Spring Tea and spirit fish delicacies, as well as the rumors that the Ye family originally belonged to the Sand Sea centuries ago.

Between the truth and the lies, they had long since determined that the Ye family was the new master of the Sand Sea.

"Of course, along with the rights, I also hope that everyone fulfills the following points: First, the final interpretation of the oasis arrangements rests with the Ye family. At the same time, any mineral veins that appear must be handed over, but the Ye family will retain 20% of the profits!"

"Second, everyone must fulfill their duty to kill the Zhang and Jia family cultivators hidden within their respective oases, and swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao not to reveal anything that happens today!"

"Third, steadily increase the number of mortals. After a hundred years, the number of mortals must increase at least fivefold!"

"Fourth, pay tribute annually based on the number and cultivation level of the family's cultivators. If the tribute is spirit herbs, it can be calculated at a 10% premium!"

"Fifth, prove that you have sufficient strength to protect the oasis by killing a certain number of first-order Sand Worms each year and offering them to the Ye family!"

… …

Ye Haicheng listed several points in a row, but for the rogue cultivators, the advantages definitely outweighed the disadvantages.

Previously, they had lived the life of rogue cultivators, having to cross the Tianli Grassland to explore for spirit herbs in the mountains, and kill Sand Worms in the desert.

Now, with an oasis, they could plant their own spirit herb gardens, establish their own cultivation families, and not have to worry about the oasis being contested. All they had to pay was a few spirit herbs and some Sand Worm corpses each year.

Protect some mortals, kill off the remaining members of the Zhang and Jia families, and make an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

In fact, having obtained the oasis, even if the Ye family didn't say so, they would have wiped out the remnants of the Zhang and Jia families!

After all, they were all enjoying the rights granted by the Ye family.

"In addition to the above points, here, I would also like to solicit your knowledge to see where the remnants of the Zhang and Jia families might be hiding, and what you believe are the most likely small worlds and secret realms where the two families might be hiding. Of course, we will also use the Soul-Searching Array today!"

"I think everyone here is not harboring the Zhang and Jia families, right!" The first half of Ye Haicheng's words made the faces of the cultivators instantly turn gloomy, but the latter sentence made them pause involuntarily.

At this moment, Ye Haicheng waved his hand, and countless Soul-Searching Talismans flew into the air.

Around the hall, they connected to form a huge Soul-Searching Array.

The Ye family cultivators also directly began to search souls one by one, asking about the possible locations, secret realms, small worlds, or grotto-heavens where the Zhang and Jia families might appear.

At first, the faces of the rogue cultivators naturally changed drastically. They naturally couldn't leave the auction hall, and now that their souls were being searched, they were worried that their secrets would be exposed, or that the Ye family had other plans.

However, after seeing more than a dozen Ye family members flying out in the sky, only asking about the possible locations of secret realms and small worlds, they relaxed one by one.

Previously, they naturally didn't have the qualifications to enter these secret realms and small worlds, so even if they knew, they didn't have any chance to profit.

Now, there might be many Zhang and Jia family cultivators hiding inside, and they naturally didn't dare to enter.

Now that the Ye family was asking, they also revealed everything.

After the Ye family's questioning, they learned of three second-order secret realms and five first-order secret realms. These were different from the Sand Sea, and the environments were mostly extremely suitable, with abundant spirit herb and demon beast resources.

If the Ye family carefully cultivated them in the future, they might be able to increase resource yields.

No small worlds were discovered.

Of course, Ye Haicheng was also clear that this was only what these rogue cultivators happened to know. There were definitely many more that they didn't know.

After all, the Sand Sea was both easy and difficult to hide in.

It was easy to hide because one could hide under the sand, but it was difficult to hide because there was only sand, and no strange terrain.

This time, it could be considered that the Ye family had learned about several secret realms without any cost.

Among them, it even included the locations of several larger desert demon beast groups.

Such as the Sand Cloud Poison Scorpion and Red Crystal Sand Ant groups. In the future, these could all be spirit insects raised by the Ye family.

At the same time, the Ye family also knew which famous rogue cultivators hadn't come, which naturally made it easier to follow the clues and continue tracking down the Zhang and Jia families in the future.

The only pity was that no cultivators arranged by the Zhang and Jia families had entered the auction, and the Ye family's idea of achieving something through the auction had failed.

Obviously, the other party also knew that the Ye family might use soul-searching in the auction hall to force confessions.

Just like that, after an hour passed, the auction returned to normal, and Ye Jingfu walked onto the high platform.

"Fellow Daoists, I am Ye Jingfu of the Ye family, responsible for this auction. In this auction, the highest bidder wins, and those who do not have enough spirit stones can use spirit materials as collateral!"

"The first auction item is a portion of Earthly Fiend Qi. This is Absolute Yin Earthly Fiend Qi, suitable for Water and Wood attribute cultivators to use for Foundation Establishment. The starting price is five thousand spirit stones, and each increment must not be less than one hundred spirit stones!"

As the first portion of Earthly Fiend Qi appeared, the entire auction instantly began to boil.

There were many cultivators in the Sand Sea, but not many who could establish a foundation. In addition, many Foundation Establishment cultivators needed to purchase oases, so those Qi Refining cultivators were even more likely to compete.

But in the end, it was auctioned for a price of eight thousand nine hundred spirit stones.

In the Sand Sea, the prices of Earthly Fiend Qi and Heavenly Astral Qi were lower than in the Yan Kingdom of the Eastern Region, and they were far less rare.

Moreover, for the Ye family, this Earthly Fiend Qi was actually seized from the Zhang and Jia families, and the Ye family had even better Foundation Establishment Pills, so they naturally didn't need to care about this Earthly Fiend Qi.

This sale, whether it sold a lot or a little, was just for the sake of a lively atmosphere.
