Clan Cultivation: The Ye Clan

Fairy Butterfly said, "The asking price for VIP room number 3 on the third floor is 3000 spirit stones. Are there any other fellow cultivators who would like to bid?"

Looking at Ye Zhenzhen, who shook her head slightly, he knew she had given up and said, "3000 spirit stones for the first time, 3000 spirit stones for the second time, 3000 spirit stones for the third time. Congratulations to room number 3 on the third floor for obtaining the second-tier spirit herb, Windmill Grass. The next item is..."

Ye Zhenzhen raised the price whenever Shen Leling called for a bid, but after several attempts, Ye Anbo stopped her.

Ye Amber said, "Alright, stop playing around. It wouldn't be good if she secretly raised the price when we bid later."

Little did she know that Shen Leling was suspecting that someone was deliberately raising the price.

However, when she bid later, no one raised the price, so she put aside her doubts.

At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen heard Fairy Cai Die's voice, "...The next item to be auctioned is a brewing recipe. It has been appraised by the Wanbaolou appraiser and is confirmed to be usable. I hope all fellow Daoists will not miss it. The starting price is 500 spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 50 spirit stones. Bidding starts now."

"550 spirit stones."

"600 spirit stones."

"700 spirit stones."

"..."

Ye Zhenzhen picked up the number plate on the table and called out, "1000 spirit stones."

The bidding gradually subsided, but two voices still followed.

"1200 spirit stones."

"1300 spirit stones."

"..."

In the end, Ye Zhenzhen won the winemaking recipe for 1800 spirit stones.

Next up was the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk. Although spirit milk is rare, the spiritual energy contained in the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk is only effective for people in the Qi Refining stage and the early Foundation Establishment stage. People of other cultivation levels are not very interested in it. Therefore, Ye Zhenzhen acquired the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk for 4500 spirit stones.

The next few items didn't interest Ye Zhenzhen, so she sat quietly, patiently waiting for the next item she would like.

Soon, it was time for the auction of the pill formula. Fairy Butterfly said, "This pill formula has been appraised by the master appraiser of Wanbaolou. It may be a fourth-grade pill formula. However, the formula is incomplete. Therefore, the starting price is 1000 spirit stones. Each bid must be at least 100 spirit stones. The bidding starts now."

Upon hearing that it was a fourth-tier pill formula, Ye Zhenzhen abandoned her intention to bid on it. Fourth-tier pill formulas were completely useless to the family now. Her fifth grandfather's alchemy skills hadn't even reached the second tier. A fourth-tier pill formula was pointless.

Next up for auction is a token. Fairy Butterfly said, "This is a token with the words 'Dragon Abyss Token' written on it. After being appraised by the Master of Wanbao Tower, this token is very likely to be used to open some unknown secret realm. Therefore, the starting price is 5000 spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 100 spirit stones. Bidding starts now."

Upon hearing that the token could open the secret realm, the people in the hall became restless and eager to try it out.

Secret realms are like opportunities, and are extremely important to independent cultivators.

In the Western Continent, most of the secret realms are controlled by major sects and aristocratic families, and very few independent cultivators can enter. Therefore, every secret realm that allows independent cultivators to enter is fiercely contested by them.

When Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Anbo saw the token, they couldn't help but think of the one they had taken from the Li family.

The two exchanged a glance, neither showing any intention of bidding.

Ye Zhenzhen thought of the token in her bracelet. After everyone had returned home after all the items had been transferred that day, Ye Zhenzhen found the token on her bed. She thought everyone had forgotten about it, so she put it in the token. Over time, she had forgotten about it herself, but now she remembered it.

Ye Zhenzhen came to her senses, and by then the price of the token had already reached spirit stones.

The ones bidding now are all from sects and families on the third floor who have Golden Core cultivators. It seems that some of them know the purpose of this token.

Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, it seems I should find more opportunities to learn about this knowledge in the future. Why didn't I take the opportunity to visit the Li family's library last time? It was my first time there, so I had no experience. But I'll have more experience next time.

As Ye Zhenzhen was thinking this, the token was auctioned off with spirit stones by the No. 1 VIP room on the third floor.

Wow, I saved some spirit stones, that's great! Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself as she looked at the next item up for auction, which was that stone.

Ye Zhenzhen felt the Life Bead in her body move slightly. It seemed that the Life Bead needed it. She decided to see if she could take the picture.

The fairy on the stage began to describe the stone: "This stone cannot be cut with a knife or melted by fire. Its original owner said that it was taken from a mysterious secret realm. The original owner said that if anyone knew what this stone was, they could tell him directly, and he would give the stone to them."

"Fellow Daoists, if anyone knows what this is, please send me a message and I will relay it to the original owner."

After the Fairy Butterfly finished speaking, she waited on the stage, presumably through telepathy. After a short while, the Fairy Butterfly said, "Since no one can tell what the stone is, let's start the auction. The starting price is 500 spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 50 spirit stones. Let's start the auction now."

A moment of silence fell over the room; no one placed a bid.

An awkward moment ensued. Fairy Butterfly glanced at the person in charge behind her and prepared to let the item go unsold.

Ye Zhenzhen held up the number plate and said, "250 spirit stones."

Fairy Butterfly looked at Ye Zhenzhen and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, are you planning to cause trouble?"

Ye Zhenzhen replied with a smile, "I'm sorry, I saw that the item failed to sell, so I bid a price that I thought was appropriate."

"Um, if that's not possible, then just pretend I didn't call. Sorry for being rude."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Butterfly glanced at the person in charge behind her. The person in charge nodded, and Fairy Butterfly smiled and said, "Then congratulations to this fellow Daoist for winning this stone with 250 spirit stones."

The next few items weren't of interest to Ye Zhenzhen, so she sat and waited for the Foundation Establishment Pill to be auctioned.

Finally, the grand finale of the auction has arrived: the Foundation Building Pill.

Fairy Butterfly said, "Next up are the final items of this auction. I believe many of you have come here for them. Without further ado, let's present the first final item, which is the Foundation Establishment Pill, an essential elixir for advancing from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage."

As she spoke, she took out a small jade bottle from her storage bag, uncorked it, and a fragrant aroma of medicinal pills wafted out.

She poured out the pills, held them in her hand, showed them to everyone, and then put them back into the bottle.

He continued, "There are a total of 10 Foundation Establishment Pills at this auction, so fellow cultivators, please don't miss out!"

"Starting bid: spirit stones. Each bid must be at least 1000 spirit stones. Bidding begins now."

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Ye Anbo, who remained calm and unhurried. It seemed that her uncle was not planning to rush for the first one.

"Spirit Stone."

"Spirit Stone."
