Chapter 1189 - 813: Profound Light Ship and Essence Blood News
Other treasures, Ye Jingcheng could ignore, but this Tier Four High-Grade Spiritual Ship Treasure, he intended to acquire.He had tested it, and the Spiritual Ships in the Central Domain seemed to have more comprehensive arrays carved into them.
Not to mention the Dragon Envoy Flying Ship, but even ordinary Flying Ships, when compared at the same tier, were significantly faster than those in the Eastern Domain.
Even this Tier Four High-Grade Spiritual Ship might not fall short of a Tier Four Top-Grade Spiritual Ship from the Eastern Domain in short-term bursts.
Such a Spiritual Ship could be used not just in Nanman Province.
However, he anticipated that the competition would be fierce.
He could only hope that the other True Masters, due to the presence of the Dragon Envoy Flying Ship, would aim at the other two defense peak magical treasures.
Ye Jingcheng caressed the Jade Talisman once more, glanced at the treasure list again, and took a sip of Spirit Tea.
This complimentary Spirit Tea, though not reaching Tier Three, was only at the Tier Two Middle level in terms of quality, but its taste was exquisite, making Ye Jingcheng marvel endlessly.
It could absolutely be considered a high-tier version of Spring Tea.
"What is this Spirit Tea called?" Ye Jingcheng was somewhat curious.
"Elder, this is Cloud Spring Tea, available at the Zhengyang Treasure Tower in Wangqing Prefecture," Huang Tiyun replied.
He then added:
"If Elder Qianchen likes it, after this auction, I’ll go buy some."
Ye Jingcheng nodded at this, saying no more.
The auction soon began.
The auction was presided over by an elder with Big White Mountain Goat Whiskers, cultivated to the Late Stage of Purple Mansion, who was well embraced at the auction venue.
Ye Jingcheng watched for a while and then closed his eyes slightly, allowing Ye Xingliu and Huang Tiyun to bid.
During this period, Ye Xingliu acquired five treasures, including a Tier Three Magical Treasure, and Spirit Medicine and Spirit Materials, two of which were auxiliary materials Ye Jingcheng needed.
Since these were Tier Three auxiliary materials, Ye Jingcheng simply let Ye Xingliu handle the bidding.
Meanwhile, Huang Tiyun was focused on bidding for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.
After over forty auction items, it finally came to the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.
"The starting price for the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid is 100,000 Spirit Stones, with each bid increment no less than 1,000 Spirit Stones," the elder announced.
The entire auction hall saw many people start to place their bids.
"110,000 Spirit Stones!"
"130,000 Spirit Stones."
...
"200,000 Spirit Stones." Huang Tiyun cleared his throat and joined the bidding.
After reaching 200,000, the number of bidders decreased, and the prices no longer jumped by tens of thousands but occasionally only by a few thousand, with several instances only increasing by 1,000.
"As expected." At this moment, Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes.
Even though the Central Domain is vast with abundant resources, the prices for special Spirit Medicines like Purple Mansion Jade Liquid were also significantly higher.
The final price settled at 230,000 Spirit Stones.
This time there were three shares of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, the second of which was acquired by a Golden Core Influence, priced at 240,000 Spirit Stones.
The third share, due to competition among Purple Mansion Influences, exceeded 300,000 Spirit Stones.
Compared to the auction prices in the Eastern Domain, it was over thirty percent more.
"Elder Qianchen, there are only two treasures left for the peak magical treasure auction." At this moment, a Female Cultivator came over with new Spirit Tea and Spirit Fruit.
"Hmm, place them here!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, casually placing ten Middle Grade Spirit Stones on the platter the Female Cultivator held.
For the first serving of Spirit Tea and Spirit Fruit, he did not pay, but this time, having received a second serving, not giving anything would make him, a Golden Core, appear stingy.
Besides, he genuinely liked this Cloud Spring Tea.
"Thank you, Senior!" The Female Cultivator expressed her gratitude.
Ten Middle Grade Spirit Stones, equating to 1,000 Spirit Stones, while Tier Two Spirit Tea was very precious, the tea used for two pots is likely less than an ounce in weight.
Moreover, in the restaurant, half of these Spirit Stones would end up with them.
Ye Xingliu also had a smile on his face at this moment.
Previously, when did their Ye Family ever enjoy such a treatment with constant updates of Spirit Tea and Spirit Fruit, not to mention reminders about the auction progress?
Of course, the measures of an auction like this could also be used for their auctions in the Desert Sea and Eastern Domain in the future.
Enhancing the experience for High-Tier Cultivators.
And after two Tier Three Magical Treasures were auctioned, it finally arrived at the peak treasure auction.
The first peak treasure was a Defense Magical Treasure.
The Auctioneer Elder produced a square seal.
After lifting it, it emitted waves of Spiritual Light, visible to more Cultivators.
"This treasure is the Tier Four Middle Grade Profound Seal, capable of transforming into a Mountain Seal for defense, or into a giant mountain for suppression. If any senior here has exceptional control, they could use this treasure to catch the opponent off guard..."
The elder vividly introduced the item.
Then he called out the price.
"Starting bid for this treasure is two million Spirit Stones, with each increment no less than ten thousand Spirit Stones!"
"2,100,000 Spirit Stones!"
"2,300,000 Spirit Stones."
...
Unlike ordinary items, there were fewer bids for a Tier Four Spiritual Treasure, but each increment almost always started from ten thousand Spirit Stones.
Among them, several familiar faces to Ye Jingcheng were placing bids.
Those calling out 3,000,000 Spirit Stones and 3,200,000 Spirit Stones were Master Zifu and He Yu Dual Cultivation.
Both clearly aimed to acquire a Defense Magical Treasure to increase their assurance for their advancement south this time.
But unfortunately, their prices aren’t considered high among all the Golden Core items, and the final auction price reached three million eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
Both had to give up.
With the successful auction of the Profound Seal, the second headline Magical Treasure was the Tier Four High-Grade Flying Ship that Ye Jingcheng was auctioning.
"Tier Four High-Grade Flying Ship Treasure, the Profound Light Ship, refined personally by the mansion master, starting price at two million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones. If Spirit Stones aren’t enough, other Spiritual Objects can be used for collateral!" As the elder finished speaking, a voice almost instantly came from the room on the fourth floor.
It is well known that the mansion master of Xiaoshan Prefecture is an Alchemy Master, while the mansion master of Wangqing Prefecture is an Artifact Refiner.
Both are top-tier existences at the Golden Core level.
Their refined Spiritual Ships come with guaranteed quality, naturally making many people’s hearts flutter.
"Three million Spirit Stones!"
"Three million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones!" Ye Jingcheng looked a bit grim as the price started so high, which wasn’t good news for him.
"Four million Spirit Stones."
"Four million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones." Ye Jingcheng continued to bid.
And with both of them bidding like this, it surprised many, leaving no one else daring to bid.
Mysteriously, at this moment, Master Zifu sent a transmission:
"Qianchen Daoist, bidding alongside you is Master Profound Bone of the Central Mansion; he is part of another team attacking Jiayuan Prefecture this time."
Master Zifu evidently went to gather some intel again.
This reminder also made Ye Jingcheng slightly astonished.
But not to mention the Central Mansion, even if the Profound Puppet Sect came, he wanted to compete this time.
"Four million eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones." Master Profound Bone spoke again.
"Five million Spirit Stones." Ye Jingcheng would not back down either.
After Ye Jingcheng bid five million Spirit Stones, no one else placed a bid.
"Congratulations to this senior."
Ye Jingcheng didn’t feel much about the congratulations. He had anticipated buying it for around four million Spirit Stones, but now it was five million. He didn’t consider it joyous news.
Although he wasn’t short on Spirit Stones, they didn’t just come to him by a strong wind.
The price of a Gold Condensing Pill usually ranged from one to two million Spirit Stones.
Moreover, he only had over four million Spirit Stones, and Ye Xingliu only had fifty thousand Spirit Stones. After purchasing previous Spirit Medicines, he even needed to use some Spirit Pills and Spirit Materials as collateral to make up the five million Spirit Stones.
Of course, successfully purchasing it was still quite nice.
The last item in the auction wasn’t anything else but a Tier Four Middle-Grade Celestial Armor Puppet.
Presumably, it was a treasure brought by the Profound Puppet Sect.
Many people hadn’t bid because they were eyeing this Spirit Puppet from the Profound Puppet Sect.
Though a Spirit Puppet’s strength was not as high as a cultivator’s and sometimes exceedingly cumbersome, its unlimited lifespan makes it a prized possession, a legacy for any influence.
Moreover, it has remarkable utility in exploring Secret Realms.
If the Ye Family didn’t have Spirit Puppets, Ye Jingcheng would probably forgo the Spiritual Ship to bid on the Spirit Puppet.
In the end, the Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Puppet was auctioned for a staggering five hundred and eighty thousand Spirit Stones.
Utterly stunning the entire auction.
Huang Tiyun and Ye Xingliu were both incredibly shocked at the moment.
However, Huang Tiyun’s eyes were filled not only with shock but also with some envy.
Ye Xingliu, on the other hand, was astonished yet joyful.
The Ye Family now owns four Tier Four Spirit Puppets.
One was obtained from killing the Zhang Family’s Purple Mansion in the Eastern Domain’s Lu Kingdom, and three were taken from Jia Zeyuan and Jia Zehai of the Jia Family.
Although these Spirit Puppets are all Tier Four Lower, even in the Central Domain, they could fetch an auction price of three million Spirit Stones each.
Adding them up, they are worth twelve million Spirit Stones.
As the auction ended, Ye Jingcheng led the two towards the outside.
They ran into Master Zifu, dressed in a purple robe, who seemed to have been waiting outside for a while. He looked at Ye Jingcheng and directly sent a transmission.
"Qianchen Daoist, are you searching for the essence blood of high-tier Demon Kings? I happen to know a loose cultivator at Golden Core level who attended this auction with lots of essence blood, intending to sell it to the Hundred Beasts Sect!"
"What kind of essence blood?" Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but feel a surge of delight!
His Five Spirits Secret Technique could be enhanced using essence blood, and if it matched his Seven Beasts, it could also be used to refine Advancement Pills.
So he was genuinely interested.
The connections of Master Zifu left Ye Jingcheng in utter surprise.
"From what I know, there are currently three types of essence blood: Tier Four Wood Flood Dragon Essence Blood, Tier Four Golden-eyed Tiger Essence Blood, and Tier Four Red Simurgh Essence Blood," Master Zifu said.
After he finished, he added:
"My friend loves collecting treasures; he must have even better essence blood. As long as we flatter him a bit, he will surely take out his cherished essence blood."
"Third Uncle, Elder Huang, first go buy some Spirit Tea, and get more Spirit Talismans," Ye Jingcheng, seeing all this, was naturally moved and repeatedly instructed Ye Xingliu and the others.
Huang Tiyun understood about Spirit Tea, but Spirit Talismans puzzled him a little.
However, with Ye Xingliu walking away first, he presumed Ye Jingcheng and Master Zifu had important matters to discuss.
As the two walked off, Ye Jingcheng followed Master Zifu out of the auction venue.
Seeing that Master Zifu was heading towards the Duan Family Tavern.
The two quickly reached the tavern, where a Purple Mansion female cultivator was already waiting.
"Elder Zifu, the elder gentleman has arrived."
"Hmm, matters with the female cultivator should wait until we finish our business!" Master Zifu nodded.
He then turned back, noticing Ye Jingcheng’s puzzlement, and explained:
"My friend adores cultivating the Dao Heart!"
