Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The auction at Taihang Market has been newly refurbished, with the entire layout divided into a main hall, rear compartments, and private rooms on the second and third floors.

Unlike the main hall, there are no additional spiritual objects, and even the chairs are ordinary stone tables.

In the compartments, redwood chairs are used, with velvet cloth draped, and in front of the seats, there is an Eight Immortals Table with spirit fruits and spirit tea on top.

Although the spirit tea is just regular Spring Tea, and the spirit fruits are merely ordinary Spiritual Apricot Fruits.

It still kept those clan cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators entertained, after all, their entrance spirit stones were no different from other cultivators.

Yet they enjoyed an extra touch of favor.

Naturally, it also satisfied the superiority they felt from years of cultivation.

And at this moment, in one of the rear compartments.

Five or six cultivators were present, wearing the special talisman robes of the Wei Family, exuding a sense of authority.

“Uncle Zhong, do we really need to do this?” A middle-aged cultivator from the Wei Family turned around, holding a jade talisman, questioning Wei Dazhong.

“Yes, the Ye Family is now a rising dragon clan, whether it’s that Taiyi Sect supporting them, or the Ye Family having great fortune, just the current stature of the Ye Family alone is worth our Wei Family’s investment!”

“You’ve attended several auctions, but which Tier Three auction can match today!”

“I, Wei Dazhong, don’t claim to have any great skills, so I can only ride the wind and seize the moment, remember that, don’t fantasize about growing in one step, how about those clan elders before? They took centuries of family resources, only to be blocked and killed? Even causing our Wei Family to lose the Clan Mountain, that’s the real humiliation!”

“So listen carefully now, if the Ye Family’s treasures fail, our Wei Family will bid, even act as stooges for the major treasures and some relatively valuable treasures to drive up the price!” Wei Dazhong kept transmitting.

Before the beast tide, he considered the Ye Family an ordinary Purple Mansion Clan.

But after that beast tide, the entire Taihang Commandery fell into the hands of the Ye Family, leaving him with only one thought.

Either the Ye Family has extraordinary means, or the Ye Family’s background is extraordinary.

But regardless, the Ye Family’s future is boundless.

And now that the Ye Family is in a growth phase, if they can rely on this great tree, their Wei Family might even become a Purple Mansion Clan or higher.

“Uncle Zhong, what if other clans think we’re stooges and anger the Ye Family, what then?” One Wei Family member suggested.

“Being recognized as stooges is good, it binds us to the Ye Family’s goodwill, possibly redeeming Tai Cang Mountain, as for others’ opinions, what does it matter to our Wei Family?”

“Uncle Zhong, but what if after our increased bid, no one else bids?” Another Wei Family member transmitted.

“Buy it outright, but be careful, after a certain point, stop raising!” Wei Dazhong gritted his teeth and spoke.

He had a premonition that the Ye Family was the opportunity for their Wei Family.

…

At this moment, in other compartments, there were other small Foundation Establishment clans sharing the same thoughts as the Wei Family.

However, they secretly prepared to prevent the treasures from failing, and as for driving up the prices, they dared not.

Even in the private rooms on the second floor, Xiao Shao’an instructed his clan members similarly.

“Next, you must ensure that Ye Family’s auction items, ordinary items with a 30% markup, precious items with a 50% markup!”

Xiao Shao’an held an artifact in his hand.

This artifact made him recognize Yong’an Zhang Family’s techniques.

This suggests that the inheritance of Yong’an Zhang Family might have fallen into the hands of the Ye Family.

And bear in mind, they had already cooperated with the Ye Family previously, selling a batch of artifacts to the Xiao Family, partly for their use, and partly to transfer to the Tian Dao Sect.

Now the Ye Family’s artifact quality seems better than expected, they naturally didn’t mind lending a hand in the auction, ensuring the Ye Family’s prospects are bright.

Besides cooperating with the Ye Family, Master Mo Dao of the Tian Dao Sect had instructed him to forge good ties with the Ye Family.

…

“Esteemed guests and seniors from afar, I am Ye Jingyun, the auctioneer for this event!” As discussions continued, the time for the auction’s commencement arrived.

Ye Jingyun walked onto the central round platform, accompanied by several Ye Family members carrying wooden trays covered with jade cloth.

“The rules for this auction are similar to others, the highest bidder wins, if you lack the spirit stones, equivalent treasures may be used for deduction at 95% market price…”

Ye Jingyun casually explained the auction rules and began the auction.

He unveiled the first wooden tray, revealing a magical artifact containing twenty pieces of Tier Two Sunflower Spirit Wood Demon’s Spirit Sunflowers.

“This treasure is Tier Two High-grade Fire Spirit Sunflower, producing fruits every twenty years, yielding only twenty pieces, and its body being a refined Wood Demon. Consuming this Spirit Sunflower not only enhances cultivation but might also grant insight into the special Sunflower Spirit Fire!” Ye Jingyun slightly embellished and emphasized his words.

He picked up one Spirit Sunflower, casually formed a spirit technique, instantly igniting a golden flame.

Exciting the entire auction’s alchemy masters and artifact refiners.

For alchemy masters and artifact refiners, spiritual fire is extremely important, and the ability for cultivators to master special spiritual fire, enhancing the Spirit Platform’s fire might, is naturally an invaluable treasure.

“The starting price for Fire Spirit Sunflower is eight thousand spirit stones, each increase must be no less than one hundred!” Ye Jingyun announced, setting a fairly low price.
