In front of the vendor's stall, Ye Jingcheng was pointing directly at the only crimson spirit egg.

The spirit egg wasn't large, approximately the size of an adult's palm.

However, it was covered with red patterns that intertwined into shapes resembling spirit snakes.

It looked like a giant gemstone encrusted with red lines.

"Senior, I don't recognize this bird's spirit egg either, so I can't really set a price!"

"But this was obtained by me and a close friend while exploring a secret realm, and he sacrificed his life for it. I've entrusted the spirit egg to his child." The vendor seemed emotionally touched by the sight of the egg, his eyes appearing somewhat red.

He was soon overwhelmed with sadness.

"This spirit egg's aura is just Tier One, the shop area would probably offer you no more than six hundred for it!" Ye Jingcheng spoke directly, interrupting the vendor's sorrow.

He wasn't swayed by stories used to inflate prices.

"I can't offer six hundred either, five hundred and fifty spirit stones, take it or leave it, I'm giving it to a junior, if not, I'll be leaving!" Ye Jingcheng didn't have time to waste with the vendor.

His main focus at the moment was displaying his cultivation prowess, whether he could buy it or not was unrelated.

According to his Treasure Book, this spirit egg could potentially advance twice, and had the potential to become a Purple Mansion Great Demon Fire-Devouring Sparrow.

Moreover, he had Tier One Red Flame Pill and Tier Two Red Flame Pill, slightly adjusting the Pill Formula could be useful for this spirit beast.

Of course, he wasn't preparing this spirit beast for himself, but as he had just mentioned, to gift it to Jing Yun.

The latter had always wanted a spirit beast capable of releasing flames, especially since Ye Xingyi already had one, leaving only Jing Yun to rely on a specialized Earth Fire Room.

Additionally, this spirit egg had the potential to advance twice, not considered too low.

It was a fortunate find, since typically offspring of Tier Three Great Demons or spirit eggs required at least four to five thousand spirit stones.

However, others wouldn't really be able to benefit from this find.

Giving it to Jing Yun would also allow him to refine more spirit pills, sparing him from the occasional need to refine some Tier One spirit pills.

"Alright, Senior." The vendor was embarrassed and awkward after Ye Jingcheng exposed his tactic with one statement, and felt a bit fearful.

Nonetheless, in the stall business, storytelling was for raising prices, similar to shops focusing on profits.

Every vendor had dozens of stories, some even sold them in Jade Talismans, deceiving family disciples into paying premiums.

After paying the spirit stones, Ye Jingcheng intended to leave directly, yet noticed Meng Xuan hadn't left his side.

"May I ask Senior's name?"

"Just helping in passing, not worth mentioning." Ye Jingcheng shook his head.

He noticed the doubt in Meng Xuan's eyes, seemingly feeling a bit familiar.

He was reminded of the time he impersonated Tang Haobo, though for Ye Jingcheng, it didn't matter if such matters were revealed.

Ye Haicheng had already broken through to Purple Mansion, representing that the Ye Family had probably been here ten years ago and bought the Purple Mansion treasure, which matched with Ye Haicheng's breakthrough timing.

But for Ye Jingcheng, avoiding exposure was preferable.

Thus, ignoring Meng Xuan's further inquiry, he left swiftly.

Consider it as ending a meeting from that day with Meng Xuan today.

Ye Jingcheng departed from the crowd, a shadow flashed in his eyes.

Then he shook his head, Meng Xuan remaining at the Flat Area didn't mean that person was still there, asking held little significance, Ye Jingcheng believed more in fate.

He directly turned his gaze towards the remaining Spirit Beast Clan.

Soon, he entered the alleys of East City, where the shops were plentiful and cultivators were still present along the street.

Eventually, he stood near a large "Wan" character.

This was another Beast Taming Clan within the Taiyi Sect, but unlike the Ye Family, this Wan Family was rather unrefined.

When the family had more Sword Cultivators, they claimed to be a Sword Cultivation Clan, and when they had more spirit beasts, they claimed to be a Spirit Beast Clan.

This family also hailed from Taiqing Commandery, located near Yuqing River, boasting a good number of Water Attribute Spirit Beasts and Spirit Insects.

Even his Seventh Uncle Ye Xingqun often held their Spirit Insect Binding in high regard.

Ye Jingcheng arrived at the store, where two Giant Rhinoceros Insects stood at the entrance, their huge rhino horns seemingly larger than the insects themselves.

It appeared quite amusing.

However, one shouldn't underestimate these Giant Rhinoceros Insects, their sharp rhino horns could pierce through even a Tier One Middle-grade Defensive Spiritual Artifact.

The only pity was that these Giant Rhinoceros Insects weren't numerous, only a few could be born at a time.

Ye Jingcheng knew a few elders of the Ye Family had them.

Yet he found the Wan Family interesting, their display of insects seemed to mirror his releasing the Mountain-devouring Rat.

"Senior, please come inside?" The female cultivator stationed at the entrance waited for Ye Jingcheng to finish observing the Giant Rhinoceros Insects, feeling somewhat proud as these insects were hers.

Ye Jingcheng didn't bother with her thoughts, he was interested in the spirit beast eggs inside.

But upon entering, he felt helplessly amused.

The spirit beast eggs and spirit beast cubs were sparse, occupying only a small wooden shelf, with some jars containing spirit insect eggs.

Yet more prominent were the various swords.

From the Three-foot Short Sword to Seven-foot Broadsword, from Cyan Soft Sword to Thousand-Pound Broadsword, there was an abundance.

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but fall silent for a moment, no wonder the Wan Family was also known as a Sword Cultivation Clan.

"Do you have more spirit beasts? Any tier cub will do!" Ye Jingcheng asked, having scanned around, and his Treasure Book had scanned as well, only a few could advance once.

This didn't pique Ye Jingcheng's interest much.

With only one advancement, the cultivation speed was destined to be unimpressive.

However, he quickly realized the Wan Family probably didn't have any notable spirit beasts, as good ones would be retained internally or sold at auctions, with their expertise in Beast Taming ensuring none would slip through the cracks.

Similarly, the Ye Family's shop in Taihang Market didn't have any particularly good spirit beast cubs either.

"Still, Senior, if you're interested in spirit beasts, you must enter the Wan Family's courtyard!" That female cultivator nodded.

Then the entrance opened, revealing a long corridor.

Ye Jingcheng passed through the corridor and discovered a small Spirit Pond.

He was surprised, given the shop's small size, to find it had a Spirit Pond.

Above the Spirit Pond stood a pavilion, where a white-haired elder tossed bait into the pond.

But upon closer inspection, Ye Jingcheng felt slightly uneasy.

Within the pond weren't spirit fish, but various Five Poisons.

Water Centipedes, Flower Snakes, Black Toads, Green Water Scorpions, Silver-faced Tigers...

"Friend, are you selecting a pet here?" The white-haired elder put away the bait and glanced at Ye Jingcheng.

Truthfully, Ye Jingcheng wasn't very interested, but still drove his Treasure Book to observe a bit more, and soon he saw a large rock at the pond's edge that shocked him internally, as the rock was captured in his Treasure Book!
