Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Inside the auction hall, cultivators surged, and the entire venue was packed to capacity.

Unlike other auctions that required spirit stones for entry, this auction didn’t require spirit stones for admission. Participants who spent over fifty spirit stones in the market were granted free access to the auction hall.

This expenditure counted regardless of whether it was in a shop or in the Independent Cultivator Square.

Therefore, the originally ten-thousand-capacity auction hall added many more seats on the first floor, making the atmosphere even more fervent.

At present, the enormous auction stage was also somewhat different from ordinary auctions.

On it was a delicately crafted Spirit Disc, astonishingly large, spanning several meters in diameter.

On the Spirit Disc, numbers were displayed, along with detailed introductions of each treasure carved onto it.

For cultivators with little experience in treasures, this auction was not only a chance to bid but also an opportunity for immense learning.

”Eighteen thousand spirit stones!”

”Eighteen thousand three hundred spirit stones!” With each bid, the price on the Spirit Disc began to change.

Moreover, with the passage of time, the colors began to redden, and at the final decision, it would start flashing, adding to the excitement.

Coupled with Ye Xingliu’s voice, it continuously stimulated the cultivators in the auction hall.

At this moment, the item being auctioned was Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, refined by Ye Jingcheng himself, rich in pill fragrance and spiritual light.

Consequently, Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators were increasingly fervent.

...

”Twenty-one thousand spirit stones!”

”Twenty-two thousand spirit stones!”

The Purple Mansion Jade Liquid exceeded expectations, going over twenty thousand spirit stones, prompting waves of cheers.

Ultimately, it was purchased for twenty-five thousand spirit stones by a Spirit-Blocking Robe cultivator with a hidden identity.

”Next are the three main treasures from Mo Yunzi of Demon Jade Mountain in Jiayuan Prefecture. Known globally, the Rakshasa Sword is unpredictable, but few know it truly comprises three swords: one to taint all magical treasures, one embodying eternal Celestial Fire with immense power, and the last one provides defense. Had it not been for Master Qianchen’s break through the late stage of the Golden Core in the Earth Immortal Realm, and being the first Temporary Market, these would never have been brought forth...” Ye Xingliu brought out three Rakshasa Sword treasures, their appearance causing the participants’ eyes to widen.

Demon cultivators’ magical treasures come in two types: one requiring demon cultivation techniques and blood sacrifice, unusable by righteous cultivators; the other like the Rakshasa Sword, identical in material to righteous magical treasures but wielded by demon cultivators.

Righteous cultivators don’t achieve the same power as demon cultivators with these treasures.

Such treasures are favored at auctions or trade fairs.

Exhibited now, they naturally drew eager gazes from many Golden Core cultivators.

Especially Duan Chuanyun of the Duan Family, whose existing Tier Four treasures couldn’t compare to these.

His eyes were instantly fixated.

Moreover, purchasing such treasures also helped him build relations with Master Qianchen of Celestial Sand Sect – a dual benefit.

”The three items are auctioned together; starting bid is sixty thousand spirit stones, with each increase not less than one thousand!”

”Seventy thousand spirit stones!” Virtually as soon as Ye Xingliu announced the starting bid, Duan Chuanyun placed his bid.

At the same time, Master Zifu smiled and glanced at Duan Chuanyun, clearly unwilling to concede.

He also offered seventy-five thousand spirit stones.

...

The auction was incredibly lively; both the Spirit Screen and auction items demonstrated exceptional effectiveness. Even treasures from various families rarely went unsold.

Ye Jingcheng’s Tier Four Rakshasa Sword fetched prices significantly over the norm, a total of one hundred sixty-three thousand spirit stones for the three swords, far surpassing typical prices for Tier Four lower-grade defensive treasures.

Including the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid Foundation Establishment Pill and other treasures, within ten days, the Ye Family amassed over seven million spirit stones in profits, averaging seventy thousand spirit stones daily — a substantial sum.

Even accounting for contributions to Xiaoshan Prefecture and Wangqing Prefecture, this Temporary Market by the Ye Family was exceedingly successful.

The most crucial point is that the Night Market hasn’t started yet.

With its advent, during the trade fair, the Ye Family’s gains would reach their maximum.

However, Ye Jingcheng, from the fourth floor, remained far from pleased.

The auction had run for ten days, yet those demon cultivators hadn’t made any moves.

This calm is not what Ye Jingcheng desired. With more Spirit-Blocking Robes in the Night Market, nearly everyone hides their identity, creating chaos.

Even Ye Jingcheng struggled to oversee it, as did Xu Huai True Monarch at the Nascent Soul level.

Maintaining the Temporary Market’s reputation requires more than merely eliminating trespassers; it also demands protecting cultivators attending the Night Market.

If too many participants died, even if the Ye Family killed the Nascent Soul, dirtying the Temporary Market’s reputation would prevent future events.

The auction finally concluded. Naturally, the last two main treasures weren’t provided by the Ye Family, but by a Golden Core Sect from Profound Puppet Sect and Wangqing Prefecture.

The Ye Family merely earned commission.

Yet even the commission brought tens of thousands in spirit stones; absent subsequent issues, the Ye Family had indeed achieved extraordinary success with this Temporary Market.

”The Night Market needs adjustments.” As cultivators filed out, returning to various market areas, Ye Jingcheng transmitted to Ye Haiyan and Ye Xingliu in the back hall.

”Continuing as before will certainly result in problems.” When Ye Haiyan and Ye Xingliu arrived, Ye Jingcheng informed them of potential risks.

Both fell into deep silence; after all, this Temporary Market’s smoothness brought them fear.
