CHAPTER 197: CHAPTER 197: SUPREME PROFOUND SPIRIT WINE RECIPE

Ye Jingcheng’s voice was not loud, in the auction hall, even the echo was very small, his tone was calm.

But these few words caused everyone to turn their heads.

They had heard that the Li Family had provoked a big figure, and now it seems, it really is the case.

The always low-key Ye Family could say such arrogant words, coupled with the recent sale of pills by the Ye Family Market, and the overwhelming popularity among loose cultivators.

It made many loose cultivators start to speculate.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xinghe glanced around, quite satisfied with the reaction at the auction.

He wanted a bit of arrogance amidst the calm, to tell all the loose cultivators that the Li Family was already at the end of its days.

Moreover, he hadn’t mentioned much before, now mentioning it with a high price brought more conviction.

This made the Li Family appear as if acting on impulse.

And the way the Li Family and Ye Family were raising prices, was indeed like this.

"Junior shouldn’t speak so full of himself, who says my Li Family can’t use it?" Li Yufu naturally would not admit it at this moment.

But his eyes looked at Ye Jingcheng with a bit of change.

He felt that Ye Jingcheng had more plans behind.

But at this moment, he felt somewhat powerless.

The Li Family was indeed undergoing an unprecedented crisis.

"Sixteen thousand Spirit Stones!" Ye Jingcheng continued bidding.

Not replying to Li Yufu.

This silence was more fatal than a reply, knowing that Li Yufu was an elder, a junior not replying to the elder, in the Cultivation Realm, only represented one thing, the Li Family was finished.

Together with Ye Jingcheng’s previous words, it was clear that he was saying the Li Family was unworthy of the Tier Two Middle-grade Pill Furnace, while he, Ye Jingcheng, was.

This made many start to suspect if the Li Family’s ancestor had passed away.

"The upcoming elixir is mine, so I can continue to bid!" Ye Jingcheng said.

And revealed a shocking news.

One of the three major treasures, one was refined by Ye Jingcheng.

Li Yufu’s face looked very ugly, but he didn’t say anything more, nor did he continue to bid.

He knew now, the Li Family’s words were useless.

Among the loose cultivators, the belief that the Li Family is an Alchemy Family would certainly and suddenly change.

Added with the Li Family’s recent lack of customers, and the Ye Family’s thriving business.

"Sixteen thousand Spirit Stones once!"

"Sixteen thousand Spirit Stones twice!"

"Sixteen thousand Spirit Stones thrice!"

"Congratulations to this fellow cultivator for acquiring the Three Qian Taihe Furnace!" Silver Moon’s voice was very melodious, like a songbird.

And this announcement also represented the commercial battle between the Ye Family and the Li Family, with the Ye Family now having the upper hand.

"The next item is the second major treasure, consisting of three Tier Two Fire Heart Pills. Of course, ordinary Fire Heart Pills naturally cannot be centerpieces, but one of these Fire Heart Pills possesses Pill Pattern, making the erysipelas inconspicuous and the pill’s effect astonishing!"

"The remaining two also have Pill Fragrance and are top grade among Spirit Pills!"

"These three Spirit Pills were all refined by a newly appointed Alchemy Master, quite rare, verified by the auction’s master and confirmed!" After introducing the Spirit Pills, Silver Moon began to introduce the Alchemy Master.

This also made many loose cultivators immediately confirm that Ye Jingcheng was the consignor of the Fire Heart Pills, otherwise Silver Moon wouldn’t speak this way.

After all, voluntarily revealing one’s identity would upset the auction.

This also meant the Ye Family truly produced a Tier Two Middle-grade Alchemist, as for whether it was Ye Jingcheng, it wasn’t that important.

Inside the auction hall, some ordinary loose cultivators were naturally watching for fun.

But many more wanted to collect fifty Ban Li Orders, hoping for the Ye Family to refine Spirit Pills for them for free.

Ye Jingcheng’s move was precisely for this.

The Ban Li Order was the ultimate weapon, the auction hall’s publicity would almost declare the Li Family’s doom, they’d find fewer and fewer customers.

Moreover, they couldn’t find the slightest reason, even if they asked loose cultivators, they’d only hear that the Ye Family was distributing Spirit Nourishing Pills.

"The starting bid for Fire Heart Pills is two thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones, with every bid not less than one hundred Spirit Stones!" Silver Moon announced the initial price.

Normally, Tier Two Lower-grade Spirit Pills fetching over a thousand Spirit Stones, those with Pill Fragrance would exceed two thousand Spirit Stones, while those with Pill Pattern could sell for over three thousand Spirit Stones.

Ye Jingcheng refined these Pill Pattern Spirit Pills, using no less than four furnaces for just one pill, showing how rare Pill Pattern Tier Two Fire Heart Pills are.

But the effect was excellent, not only striking at the Li Family, but also gaining chances to acquire numerous Pill Formulas himself in the future.

Since many loose cultivators sought him to refine pills, they’d likely be less common Spirit Pills.

The auction for Fire Heart Pills was equally intense, after all, not only could cultivators consume them, Spirit Beasts could too.

Many families might not have Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it’s possible they had Tier Two Spirit Beasts within their kin.

Xu Family and Mo Family began to bid.

Ultimately auctioning for an impressive seven thousand two hundred Spirit Stones.

Of course, this major treasure wasn’t as esteemed as the Three Qian Taihe Furnace, but following this sequence also signified the Ye Family’s influence.

The problem instead seemed larger.

"The final auction item is the Supreme Profound Spirit Wine Formula, it’s a Tier Two High-grade wine formula, consigned by a Foundation Establishment elder!"

"After verification by the auction hall elder, there’s no issue with the wine formula, even checked by Master Jiang!"

"However, the main spirit material for this wine formula is quite rare!"

"Hence, it is presented in Taihang Market rather than Taichang Market, but fellow elders need not doubt the formula’s authenticity!" Silver Moon continued the introduction.

Beside her, she waved, and another woman clad in azure sand entered holding a jade disc.

A piece of Spirit-Blocking Cloth covered the jade disc.

Silver Moon lifted the Spirit-Blocking Cloth, revealing a mirror and a jade talisman within.

She picked up the mirror, using a Spirit Skill, shining it upon the jade talisman.

This jade talisman specifically belonged as a Divine Thought Jade Talisman, necessitating contact with the center of the forehead to be viewed, preventing cultivators from remotely learning the wine formula.

The mirror revealed part of the wine formula’s description.

Seeing the wine formula, Ye Jingcheng also mused over its simplicity yet its surprising effectiveness, capable of enhancing Water Attribute cultivators’ Cultivation, and slightly increasing longevity.

The only challenging part was needing the Spirit Gall of the Supreme Profound Turtle.

"This wine formula is greatly impactful, the elder consignor also declared, the starting bid is two thousand!"

"Every bid mustn’t be less than two hundred!"

Upon these words, everyone was incredibly shocked.

Apparently unanticipated, the major treasure turned out as a Tier Two Top Grade wine formula, its value rivaling that of Tier Two Top Grade Pill Formulas.

Moreover, sometimes, since wine formulas demanded fewer Spirit Materials, they were paradoxically more cherished than Pill Formulas.

Especially as this wine formula could slightly extend lifespan!

For what do cultivators pursue cultivation? Mostly for immortality.

Now drinking wine could bring immortality, naturally elevating the wine formula’s preciousness.

Understandably, the consignor dared a starting bid of two thousand Spirit Stones.

"Twenty-three thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Twenty-four thousand Spirit Stones!"

In the blink of an eye, bids were rapidly placed.
