Chapter 1428 - 1024: The Reason for Changing Medicine

In the grand hall, the ones who remained were Golden Spirit True Monk and True Monarch Bailian.

The two of them looked at True Monarch Simurgh and Xueyun Monarch.

When they saw the two still hesitating, not knowing how to open their mouths, it was still True Monarch Bailian who broke the silence first.

"Activate the Tier Five Array and hide within the Mountain Protection Array to make your breakthrough, then nothing will happen. Don’t imagine every Secret Technique under heaven to be too weak, but don’t imagine it to be too strong either." True Monarch Bailian spoke.

Then he took out a Jade Talisman.

On it were likewise the faces of three Cultivators.

These three Cultivators were all Golden Core Geniuses from Medicine King Valley back then, who had vanished from sight for a long time. Now it seemed they had been hidden away by Medicine King Valley.

And so far there had never been any problem, naturally, that allowed the two of them to feel at ease.

They knew that at this moment, they actually shouldn’t know too much.

Because they were also worried that if they knew too much, Penglai Sect might strike regardless of the cost.

One had to know, even Medicine King Valley was extremely wary of Penglai Sect acting regardless of cost; otherwise, if this matter were made public, Penglai Sect wouldn’t say be crippled, but at least it would lose its former ability to rally others, and more than half the powers would use the Teleportation Array to flee to other regions.

Yet even with such an effect, Medicine King Valley had not done so, which was enough to show how deep their fear was.

"Many thanks for informing us, Daoist Bailian." True Monarch Simurgh, hearing this, combined it with his own conjectures, then nodded.

The two also left quickly.

Once the two had left, True Monarch Bailian looked toward Golden Spirit True Monk, and a look of puzzlement suddenly surfaced in his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, the Celestial Heart Silkworm Grass Golden Spirit True Monk had traded out was also a Spirit Medicine he himself needed.

And he had not searched for it for a short time.

"This Celestial Heart Silkworm Grass is a Spirit Medicine that stimulates bloodlines. The reason I wanted it was also to stimulate the bloodline of my Taiyun Cyan Ox, but the medicinal potency of this herb is too low and useless to me. Since he asked for it, perhaps he can give us a surprise." Golden Spirit True Monk replied.

After saying this, he added:

"At the same time, it counts as forming a good karmic tie. A two-hundred-year-old Nascent Soul—truly something I haven’t seen for a very long time." Golden Spirit True Monk couldn’t help but say.

True Monarch Bailian heard this and also nodded.

Medicine King Valley was doing the same kinds of things.

"If this Ye Family is short of some Spirit Medicine, they can go search in the Western Domain." Golden Spirit True Monk spoke again.

At this remark, even True Monarch Bailian couldn’t help but be stunned.

But he suddenly thought of how, these past years, the Ye Family’s Spirit Beast nurturing had been exceptionally good: several of Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Beasts, the two Flood Dragons of Ye Jingyu, and even the sudden breakthrough and bloodline advancement of the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

These seemed to be somewhat connected.

This meant the Ye Family very likely possessed an extraordinary Beast Taming inheritance capable of elevating Demon Beast bloodlines.

While True Monarch Bailian was inwardly amazed, he also connected it to some other matters.

In this world of Immortal Sects, there is no one who doesn’t touch profit.

But he quickly cast aside these thoughts; he hoped what he imagined was wrong.

On the surface, he likewise remained calm as he spoke:

"Then here, on behalf of the Ye Family, I thank Daoist Jinling."

The two chatted for a while longer, and Golden Spirit True Monk also took his leave.

True Monarch Bailian watched the other’s departing back, and his gaze grew ever deeper.

At this moment, the sun was just setting; dusky red sunlight shone, so crimson.

...

One day passed quickly, and Ye Jingcheng also arrived at the Divine Medicine Market.

The entire Market was not small, and with the reputation of a Tier Five Auction, the Market had once again revived with not a little Vitality.

Ye Jingcheng stepped into the Market, heading from the streets toward the auction hall.

Beside him were five or six Ye Family Members.

Among them was also Jing Li; speaking of which, he too had a Tier Three Magical Treasure among the lots in this auction.

As for the remaining clan members, they were the younger generation of the Ye Family.

Don’t look at how the Ye Family had no shortage of High-Tier Cultivators—there were likewise quite a few places the Ye Family needed Guardians for.

Ye Xuecang was in Seclusion seeking a breakthrough; Ye Xuefan and Chu Yanqing were Guardians in the Desert Sea; Ye Yunxi was likewise in Seclusion cultivating Secret Techniques; Ye Jing Hu, having just broken through, still needed to consolidate; Ye Haige, Ye Jingyu, and Ye Haicheng were respectively Guardians of Cyan and Vermilion Mountain, Celestial Blade Peak, and Lingyun Peak.

Of course, as they passed by, Ye Jingcheng also took a few people to casually have a look at the Spirit Beast Pavilion that sold Spirit Beasts.

Although these Spirit Beasts were not particularly good, there were, after all, some decent ones. While he himself had no use for them, they were extremely suitable for the clan’s younger juniors or other clan members.

He even thought that if he picked up something good, it could serve as a future reward in the clan’s grand competition.

In the end, Ye Jingcheng bought two young beasts, and Jing Li also bought one. Of course, Ye Jingcheng made the purchase for other members of the clan, whereas Jing Li bought his for his son.

As for his son, Jing Li still held him in particular regard.

Once they had finished looking over the Spirit Beasts, the time was about right, and the few of them calmly entered the auction hall through the rear door.

The auction hall was exceptionally grand. Speaking of which, up to now, it was still Ye Jingcheng’s first time attending a Tier Five Auction.

Moreover, this time, he would be seated on the fifth floor of the auction hall. Not only was the treatment lavish, the interior arrangements were also especially imposing; Spirit Fruits, Spirit Tea, and Spiritual Cuisine were all laid out on the tables.

As usual, the auction proceeded as it always did, and the Auctioneer was precisely the Golden Core Cultivator who had received Ye Jingcheng that day.

Very soon, the auction began.

As for the Tier Two and Tier Three Treasures up front, Ye Jingcheng kept his eyes closed and paid them no mind, leaving Jing Li and another junior of the Ye Family to bid freely.

The treasures being auctioned—some were items they personally needed, and some were tasks for the clan.

Before the auction began, the Ye Family had actually already received part of the auction’s lot list.

And all the way up until the Tier Four Magical Treasures, Ye Jingcheng did not speak.

At that moment, they saw the Auctioneer take out a Jade Bottle and speak in a loud voice:

"The next lot is Essence Blood of a Tier Four Peak Long-armed Golden Ape. There are five drops in total. The starting bid is seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but open his eyes.

This Essence Blood of the Long-armed Golden Ape was exactly suitable, albeit barely, for the Golden-eyed Vermilion Bird.

To Ye Jingcheng, this was very good news.

The Golden-eyed Vermilion Bird possessed Invulnerability Divine Techniques, and in the future it would certainly be one of his major sources of Combat Power. That it could advance as soon as possible was naturally good news.

"For this item, each bid increment must not be lower than one thousand Spirit Stones."

"Two million Spirit Stones!" Before the Auctioneer could finish, Ye Jingcheng directly bid two million Spirit Stones.

One should know, two million Spirit Stones was already more expensive than a Gold Condensing Pill.

Ye Jingcheng offering such a price was naturally considered high.

Yet Ye Jingcheng himself did not feel that he was overbidding.

This Essence Blood was clearly something Medicine King Valley had added on temporarily, precisely for the sake of the Ye Family.

It already counted as somewhat of a favor. Ye Jingcheng merely added some more Spirit Stones, which was really nothing at all. After all, to a Nascent Soul Cultivator, two million Spirit Stones truly was not much.
