Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

The auction hall of Celestial Sand Sect is currently extremely lively.

Now being auctioned are Foundation Establishment Pills, sold in groups of two, which are equally popular in the Central Domain.

The starting bid of twenty thousand has already reached forty-three thousand spirit stones.

And the price keeps rising.

Although the Central Domain is vast and resourceful, it remains that the presence of demon beasts here is scarce, resulting in Foundation Establishment Pills mostly refined using Celestial Essence Fruit. This outcome makes the pills quite precious in the Southern Wilderness Province.

The Ye Family has already auctioned one group, fetching a high price of fifty-three thousand spirit stones.

For this batch, Ye Xingliu estimates it won’t differ much.

”It seems necessary to control the ratio between self-raised spirit beast materials and wild spirit beast materials in the future!” Ye Xingliu muses to himself.

The Ye Family and Celestial Sand Sect have spirit beast materials, which is not a big issue, but if there are a lot of high-tier spirit beast materials and wild demon beast materials, it might make others envious.

This envy would not only be from the Righteous Sect side but potentially from the Demon Sect side as well.

However, materials from domestic beasts like the Forest Pig, Sand Ginseng Scorpion, Blood Jade Eel, and Black Mushroom Fish pose smaller issues.

”Fifty-four thousand spirit stones!” Finally, the second group of Foundation Establishment Pills sells for an even higher price.

Of course, this high price was partly inflated by the Zhu Family, but it also proves that Foundation Establishment Pills are highly coveted in the Central Domain market.

”Next is the auction of Tier Three Spiritual Object, Profound Yuan Heavy Water; this treasure carries traces of Flood Dragon essence—likely refined by a Water Flood Dragon. For friends who primarily cultivate Water Attribute Techniques, this treasure can be purchased to refine it into a Water Seal Treasure!” Ye Xingliu takes out a jade bottle.

Inside the bottle, three drops of Profound Yuan Heavy Water are suspended.

It was refined by Ye Jingyu’s Blue Jade Flood Dragon.

This treasure draws attention, even from Wang Shiyun.

This kind of heavy water is usually born from extremely cold and high terrain lakes, supplemented by special spirit veins or demon beasts.

It is rare in the Central Domain.

”The starting bid for this treasure is thirty thousand spirit stones, with each increment no less than one thousand spirit stones!”

As Ye Xingliu speaks, many Purple Mansion cultivators begin bidding.

”Thirty-five thousand spirit stones!”

”Forty thousand spirit stones!”

...

”Eighty thousand spirit stones!” At this moment, it is Wang Shiyun who bids.

She raises the bid by nearly thirty thousand spirit stones, leaving the auction hall completely silent.

Ye Xingliu is somewhat surprised seeing this, considering if Wang Shiyun had bid sixty thousand, there would probably be little competition.

The price he anticipated was around seventy-eight thousand spirit stones.

This heavy water is only tier three lower grade, with only three drops.

He takes another look at her room.

He soon announces that the Profound Yuan Heavy Water is Wang Shiyun’s.

After the first tier-three treasure.

The auction continues with Tier Three Star Pear Fruit, Tier Three Sunflower Spirit Seed, and Tier Three Cyan Jade Lotus—all relatively rare spirit medicines.

Potentially appearing again in the Ye Family Tavern in the future.

Each treasure sells for quite a good price.

Also, it moves many Purple Mansion cultivators who originally only came to observe.

Star Pear Fruit enhances eye power, aiding the cultivation of Star Illusion Eyes; Sunflower Spirit Seed assists alchemy masters in cultivation...

”The Celestial Sand Sect’s foundation is beyond what we imagined!” Xiao He observes tens of treasures auctioned, with the prices cumulatively reaching over two million spirit stones.

And the prime treasures are yet to appear.

Once the sole tier-three lower-grade defensive treasure is auctioned, Ye Xingliu takes out a jade box.

”Alright, everyone, next we present our Celestial Sand Sect’s three main treasures!”

Inside the jade box is a golden liquid, exuding a shimmering golden light.

”This item is the tier three high-grade hundred-year Gold Refining Spiritual Milk, greatly beneficial to body refining cultivators above the middle stage of the Purple Mansion, potentially helping in a small tier breakthrough!”

This item is yielded from Ye Jingcheng’s Golden Glowing Malachite’s stone milk.

Its body forging effectiveness has been tested by Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng. If not for the fact that Ye Family’s Ye Qingwen and Ye Jingyong hadn’t reached Purple Mansion, and Ye Haige already breaking through to late stage Purple Mansion.

The Ye Family wouldn’t have taken it out for auction.

As Ye Xingliu speaks, the arriving Purple Mansion forces and Golden Core forces’ cultivators almost all stand up—this Gold Refining Spiritual Milk was previously unheard of.

If the effects align with Ye Xingliu’s words, the value is huge, deserving of being the true tier three prime treasure.

”To allay any concerns, may I invite Fairy Shi Yun and Dragon Envoy Xiao to assist in confirming this?” Ye Xingliu then sends the jade bottle into the air.

Landing before Wang Shiyun and Xiao He.

Both look surprised but nod.

”No problem!” After inspecting the jade bottle, both nod.

”This item starts at sixty thousand spirit stones, with each increment no less than one thousand spirit stones!” Ye Xingliu finally starts quoting.

Simultaneously, he instructs gifts to be sent to two cultivators.

Though appearing as gifts, they are essentially compensation.

And this compensation indirectly serves as a present to two mansion masters.

Within these storage bags, aside from spirit stones and common treasures, there are even one or two tier-four Mingxin Tea leaves.

Ye Jingcheng specifically instructed this.

With so many Golden Core cultivators at the trade meeting, Ye Jingcheng could not send presents to just two mansion masters, and sending tons seemed excessive. Having drunk a lot, now gifting these two was most fitting.

”Seventy thousand spirit stones!”

”Eighty thousand spirit stones!”

...

Finally, this drop of Gold Refining Spiritual Milk sold for a price of eleven thousand spirit stones.

”The second prime treasure is Tier Three Top-grade Heavenly Luo Umbrella!”

After auctioning the first item, Ye Xingliu contentedly takes out the second prime treasure.

This time, not spiritual liquids or medicines, but the Tier Three Top-grade Heavenly Luo Umbrella.

Being a top-grade special type treasure, it sold at a high price, eventually fetching forty-eight thousand spirit stones.

This umbrella was obtained by the Ye Family on Demon Jade Mountain, suitable for both righteous and evil cultivators.

The final treasure was three Tier Three Top-grade Water Essence Pills refined by Ye Jingcheng.

These three spirit pills benefitted Purple Mansion Peak cultivators greatly, with all three featuring pill patterns.

Even Xiao He was immensely surprised.

Three Water Essence Pills, all with pill patterns—if refined in one batch, the alchemy skill might even surpass Xiao Wankun.

This suggests they may have underestimated Master Qianchen.

”This Master Qianchen’s alchemy skill is certainly more than tier four middle-grade, now qualifying as a tier-four top-grade alchemist!” Xiao He decisively states.

In the end, the Water Essence Pills sold for forty thousand spirit stones to Wang Shiyun.

With the auction concluded, all the Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment individuals were quite unsettled.

Especially those considering asking Ye Jingcheng for alchemy, thinking they might even offer a bounty for Ye Jingcheng’s refinement of spirit pills with pill patterns.

Even Wang Shiyun, Xiao He, and the Purple Mansion of Profound Puppet Sect were stirred up.

Because when retrieving the pills, they found all three Water Essence Pills had extremely similar aura, strongly suggesting a single batch refinement!

...

A day quietly passed; atop the peak, within the center of Qianchen Palace, Ye Jingcheng awakes.

He steps out of the great hall, witnessing Sha Huang Mountain awakening to the dawn.

Everywhere glows a resplendent golden, exceedingly pleasing to behold.

For him, not just the scenery—his gains last night were most satisfying.

He spent the night consolidating and contemplating his cultivation insights.

Now, he feels his understanding of Fire Techniques and Alchemy Skill has grown.

Alongside other areas he hadn’t explored, these were recorded on jade talismans, and can later be placed in the family vault, aiding other clan members undoubtedly.

Especially Mansion Master Wang’s Artifact Refining insights—they can be shared with Chu Yanqing.

Amidst his delight, he also begins instructing clan members to invite Golden Core True Masters.

These true masters are resting in their respective mansions, and it’s now time for the trade meeting to commence.

With the exchanges and auction as the groundwork, he is especially looking forward to the trade meeting now!
