Ye's Shop watched as the two cultivators from the Hua Yu Sect departed.
Ye Xinghe's eyes appeared somewhat cold!
His gaze was distant, yet his expression no longer bore the same cheerful demeanor as before.
"Jingcheng, your rewards will be exchanged by the clan for contribution points, but unfortunately, the welcome feast will have to be postponed!" Ye Xinghe said to Ye Jingcheng with a sigh.
Since there was a Blood Heart Pill, the Ye Family definitely had to purchase it!
The price of the Blood Heart Pill is even higher than that of the Foundation Establishment Pill!
The Foundation Establishment Pill signifies the leap for a cultivator from Qi cultivation to Foundation Establishment, while the Blood Heart Pill could mean an extra life for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
And at this moment, the Ye Family's clan guardian spirit beast needed a Blood Heart Pill.
In recent years, they've been searching for spirit medicine for the clan guardian spirit beast, which has put a strain on the family's finances!
Ye Jingcheng also understood, but upon hearing about the auction, he was particularly interested in the Red Dragon Fruit!
The assistant from Taiyi Pavilion mentioned the auction would have it, so it's likely true. Despite being just an assistant, they are astute and shouldn't be mistaken!
Therefore, Ye Jingcheng also needed to prepare spirit stones for the Red Dragon Fruit.
Currently, he still had nearly three to four hundred contribution points, but the family couldn't exchange them for spirit stones for him now.
The spirit stones in his storage bag were only about thirty.
In this regard, he could only find a way himself.
"Uncle, do we have any alchemy tasks recently?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.
"No!" Ye Xinghe shook his head and entered the room.
Judging by his intent, Ye Jingcheng figured he was going to communicate with the family's Foundation Establishment cultivators!
Fortunately, the Ye Family had made preparations in advance!
Otherwise, with five days, a round trip from Taihang Market to Ye Family's Lingyun Peak would be quite pressing!
At that time, getting the Blood Heart Pill would truly have no means!
"Thirteenth Aunt, may I exchange for some spirit medicine? I'm a bit short of money..." Ye Jingcheng looked to Ye Xinghong and asked!
The Red Dragon Fruit was something he must obtain.
It concerns the Red Flame Fox, and if he guessed correctly, it might enhance the Red Flame Fox's bloodline.
"Certainly!" Ye Xinghong nodded. After this batch of goods, the family's shop wouldn't have so many guests next time; after all, cultivators seldom buy spirit pills unless they're adventuring in the Taihang Mountain Range or preparing for a breakthrough.
And magical artifacts even more so, many cultivators are unwilling to leave the market for a lifetime, and an artifact might last them till old age!
"Thirteenth Aunt, I want to exchange for five portions of spirit medicine to refine the Cyan Spirit Pill, five portions for the Body Tempering Pill, and three portions for the Qi Recovery Pill!"
Ye Jingcheng took out the clan token, allowing Ye Xinghong to deduct the contribution points!
Ye Xinghong quickly nodded, calculated it behind the counter, and handed it to Ye Jingcheng.
"These total to 50 contribution points!" Ye Xinghong said, and Ye Jingcheng entered the room as well.
He did not commence alchemy immediately but cultivated for a while, enhancing his mental state to its peak before starting!
At this time, the Red Flame Fox yawned and began to slowly build up its flames!
After three days of refining spirit pills, Ye Jingcheng emerged from the room!
While he couldn't pocket the spirit stones from the family's sold spirit pills, it was different selling at the stalls.
He just needed to lower the price a bit; compared to the uneven quality of pills at the stalls, he was much more confident.
Ye Jingcheng changed out of the family's attire and borrowed a spirit barrier conical hat from Ye Jinhao.
After ensuring he was thoroughly disguised, he exited through the small path commonly used by the clan cultivators at Taihang Market, circled around, and re-entered the market.
This time, his target was the stalls at Taihang Market.
He had done his research; such a disguise wasn't uncommon at the stalls!
After all, there's always a cultivator who wouldn't miss even mosquito-sized gains; if spotted with a prized magical artifact, one might tail you out of the market!
Even though no magical combat is allowed within a thousand miles of Taihang Market, avoiding trouble is still a priority for most cultivators!
Ye Jingcheng spent a spirit stone to secure a slightly inner stall spot; stalls here cost one spirit stone for three days.
Near the street entrance, many loose cultivators had already occupied those.
"Selling spirit pills, come and see, buy more and get a free Spirit Nourishing Pill!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly shouted.
The shout attracted quite a few cultivators to look over.
Ye Jingcheng's voice seemed a bit raw!
Unlike those seasoned cultivators with their deep voices!
This is often what many cultivators prefer, young and naïve, selling valuables from their elders!
Whereas seasoned ones are immediately seen as cunning old foxes.
So soon, several cultivators approached.
Particularly since Ye Jingcheng also mentioned discounts, it made him stand out instantly among the stalls.
"How much for this Cyan Spirit Pill?" Some seasoned cultivators, noticing the quality of the Cyan Spirit Pill, already guessed that Ye Jingcheng was a child of some clan.
While those cultivators with stalls, glared viciously at Ye Jingcheng, especially those at the entrance, with some even packing up and moving to Ye Jingcheng's stall.
"Cyan Spirit Pill 8 spirit stones each, Qi Blood Pill, 6 spirit stones each, Body Tempering Pill 6 spirit stones each, Qi Recovery Pill 6 spirit stones each, Spirit Nourishing Pill is not for sale, only as a gift, buy over fifty spirit stones' worth, and get one, only five available, while supplies last!"
Ye Jingcheng announced in one breath.
This time, he refined two batches of Cyan Spirit Pills, totaling eight pills; Qi Blood Pills and Body Tempering Pills were each from a single batch, totaling seven pills each, and Qi Recovery Pills also from two batches, totaling nine pills.
"Your prices aren't cheap either!" a cultivator huffed coldly.
"It's not just about price when it comes to spirit pills, but quality. These were crafted by my grandfather himself; if I hadn't bought a good magical artifact, using up a lot of spirit stones, I wouldn't be selling these!" Ye Jingcheng made up on the spot.
At the stalls, sometimes, you can't rely solely on price; you need a story!
Ye Jingcheng clearly noticed a few people shrinking back.
"Friend, I'll buy all your pills!" At this moment, a youth in elegant attire walked into the crowd!
"Two hundred and twenty spirit stones, how about it?" The youth in elegant clothes offered directly.
"Certainly!" Ye Jingcheng nodded. His pills here could only fetch about 200 spirit stones based on his pricing; he was willing.
And as the youth took out a storage bag, many cultivators began discussing and observing the spirit pills more closely from afar.
"Friend, if you have more spirit pills, sell them to me next time, just use this jade talisman, it's much safer than selling here!" The youth in elegant attire transmitted a message, handing the storage bag to Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng nodded after looking at the jade talisman and spirit stones inside.
He didn't reply nor transmit back.
Once the transaction was complete, Ye Jingcheng left.
The youth in elegant clothes also disappeared into the crowd, and in the shadows, he held a pill, examining it closely.
And pondered:
"This indeed wasn't refined with earth fire!"
