Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Li Family Causing Trouble

In the hall, many cultivators practicing Fire Attribute Cultivation Techniques instantly began to place bids.

“One hundred ninety!”

“Two hundred!”

…

“Two hundred fifty!” Ye Jingcheng directly offered a high price, which had already exceeded the previous round’s auction price for the Red Leaf Fruit!

In terms of value, the Red Leaf Fruit naturally compares to the Red Dragon Fruit!

Thus, Ye Jingcheng offered this price only to suppress others.

But at that moment, an untimely voice rang out:

“Two hundred sixty!”

Ye Jingcheng looked to the side; it was the young cultivator from the Li Family, Li Xiangcai.

He stood up, looking extremely proud, and continued provoking Ye Jingcheng.

“Two hundred seventy!” Ye Jingcheng suppressed his anger and continued bidding!

“Two hundred eighty!” Li Xiangcai continued to bid!

At this moment, the other party seemed to assume Ye Jingcheng was determined to buy.

“Jingcheng, I have one hundred Spirit Stones. If you need them, I’ll give them to you!” Ye Jingli spoke up from beside him, equally displeased with the Li Family’s cultivator’s demeanor.

This gave Ye Jingcheng more confidence!

He directly bid three hundred Spirit Stones!

“Three hundred ten Spirit Stones!” Li Xiangcai provocatively bid again.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng realized Li Xiangcai was causing trouble!

If he didn’t mention, he only had three hundred seventy Spirit Stones, even if it were a thousand, he might not win!

At that moment, Ye Xinghe’s voice sounded in his mind.

“Stop bidding; the family will help you bid!”

“Alright, Uncle!”

Ye Jingcheng was stunned upon hearing this but quickly sent a transmission.

Of course, he outwardly still appeared eager and kept checking his Storage Bag, as if counting how many Spirit Stones he had.

Witnessing this, Li Xiangcai showed a brazen and arrogant face.

He even looked at Ye Jingcheng mockingly, as if ridiculing him as a country bumpkin.

“Three hundred ten Spirit Stones, anyone else?” Fairy Luoxiang also continued speaking charmingly.

Her voice was impossibly soft, causing the cultivators to involuntarily want to bid more times!

“Three hundred twenty Spirit Stones! Can’t let Fairy Luoxiang’s scene go cold!” A loose cultivator suddenly said with a smile!

At this moment, Li Xiangcai did not bid but provocatively glanced at Ye Jingcheng before sitting down calmly!

The Red Dragon Fruit was auctioned off by a loose cultivator at the high price of three hundred twenty Spirit Stones.

This naturally made Ye Jingcheng somewhat aggrieved, for Li Xiangcai’s target was him.

Although Ye Xinghe helped him win the bid, the extra Spirit Stones were indeed a substantial cost.

The auction continued, moving on to Magical Artifacts.

The atmosphere grew increasingly heated.

Ye Jingcheng admired the variety of Magical Artifacts and treasures immensely!

As an Alchemy Master, he was naturally familiar with many precious Spirit Materials.

At that moment, Auctioneer Luoxiang took out a string of beads.

This string of Jade Beads, made entirely from Jade Spirit Stones, was not only exquisite but also engraved with profound Spirit Patterns.

“This bead is the Falling Technique Bead, containing six beads; it can store six Tier One High-Grade spells, equivalent to six inexhaustible Spirit Talismans. Cultivators who often venture into the Taihang Mountain can buy them!” Fairy Luoxiang caressed the surface of the Jade Beads, causing a floating Spiritual Light, accompanied by her graceful body and a sudden reveal of spring scenery.

Causing the cultivators below to become restless!

“The starting price for this Magical Artifact is three hundred Spirit Stones; each increase must be no less than ten Spirit Stones!”

“Three hundred fifty!”

“Four hundred!”

Almost simultaneously, many cultivators couldn’t wait to shout bids.

Each bid was higher than the last!

Among them was Li Xiangcai!

He shouted a high price of eight hundred!

Instantly, the auction platform went silent!

Evidently, this price had reached the limit of the Falling Technique Bead.

“Eight hundred ten!” At that moment, a lazy voice sounded!

This was none other than Ye Jingcheng.

He stood up, provocatively glancing at Li Xiangcai!

Seeing this, Li Xiangcai was furious, not expecting Ye Jingcheng to challenge his price!

“One thousand Spirit Stones, do you dare bid?” Li Xiangcai directly increased by two hundred!

However, Ye Jingcheng did not stand up again; he was merely bidding to displease Li Xiangcai; if he continued, Li Xiangcai might give up!

Ye Jingcheng did not expect the other party to raise by two hundred Spirit Stones suddenly, acting like a fool.

“Congratulations to this Daoist friend for obtaining the Falling Technique Bead!” Auctioneer Luoxiang made the final decision from a distance.

Only now did Li Xiangcai’s face look ugly, as he ended up spending an extra two hundred when he could have bought it for eight hundred!

In the subsequent bidding, Li Xiangcai continued to make reckless bids, while Ye Jingcheng remained indifferent!

Ultimately, Li Xiangcai ended up buying a few items.

For Ye Jingcheng, continuing to challenge bids at this point might backfire.

His Storage Bag contained only about two hundred Spirit Stones; the first time worked, the second might not be as effective.

Once was sufficient.

“Alright, now for the long-awaited final three treasures!”

With a sound, Fairy Luoxiang clapped her hands, revealing three trays held by three female cultivators shrouded in light veils.

Each tray was covered with Spirit Cloth, revealing no Spiritual Energy.

When the Spirit Cloth on the first tray was unveiled, it revealed a clamp-like Magical Artifact.

“This is a Tier Two Middle-grade Spiritual Artifact, the Black Flood Dragon Clamp, made from the Flood Dragon Scale of a Tier Two Black Flood Dragon. The Array Diagram on it is engraved with eighty-one formations. Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, rejoice! Additionally, this treasure is an artifact possessing an Artifact Spirit!”

“Starting price two thousand three hundred Spirit Stones! Each increase must be no less than ten Spirit Stones!” Luoxiang spoke.

This time, the voices below were scarce!

There were few Foundation Establishment cultivators and powers present.

The first to speak was Li Xiangcai:

“This should be the Ye Family’s old friend’s artifact, a support bid of ten, two thousand three hundred ten Spirit Stones!”

“No more!” Li Mutian spoke maliciously.

“What does the Li Family mean by this? Are they trying to suppress my bid?” At this time, a black-faced man in a nearby compartment glared at the Li Family.

“Oh, it’s Black Wood Daoist. Certainly not, it’s a misunderstanding by Li!” Li Mutian had to laugh apologetically.

Although Black Wood Daoist was a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator, those who reached Foundation Establishment status independently were often shrewd!

Moreover, Loose Cultivators had no attachments, acting uninhibitedly. Such cultivators were feared even by the Li Family.

“Two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones!” Li Mutian revised his bid normally, neither too low nor high.

“Li Daoist truly has a thick skin, two thousand six hundred Spirit Stones!” Ye Xinghe called out a bid for the first time!

He glanced at Li Mutian as if looking at a fool.

This scene made Li Mutian even angrier!

Meanwhile, the price of the Black Flood Dragon Clamp surged!

Ultimately, it was auctioned off for a whopping four thousand Spirit Stones, won by Li Mutian!

Witnessing this shook the entire auction hall.

Even Fairy Luoxiang as the Auctioneer was all smiles.

Ye Xinghe mentally accounted. Li Mutian had been chaotic today, as if the following Blood Heart Pill was meant for Ye Family!

When abnormal events occur, one’s suspicions are aroused. Targeting the Ye Family was not just recent.

“The second finale auction item, Tier Two Lower Grade Spirit Puppet, effectively equivalent to Foundation Establishment Early Stage ability; no need for this lady to explain. Trust your keen judgment!”

“Starting price two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones, each increase must be no less than ten Spirit Stones!”

As the bidding continued, this artifact was eventually auctioned off for four thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones.

Unlike Tier Two Artifacts, usable only by Foundation Establishment cultivators, Tier Two Spirit Puppets could serve as family assets.

Finally won by a cultivator of the Chu Family from Xianyun Peak!

“Alright, everyone, you must be impatient for the next treasure, the Blood Heart Pill!” Fairy Luoxiang uncovered the Brocade Cloth, revealing a Pill Bottle!

Inside the Pill Bottle, a blood-red Spirit Pill radiated Spiritual Light.
