But if Ye Jingcheng were to openly ask about it, it would reveal that he is not a cultivator from here.
He naturally wouldn't make such a mistake.
As soon as the jade box was opened, a wave of cold air hit him, and each piece of the Earth Cloud Ganoderma's flesh seemed to be glowing with spiritual light, extremely full and lush.
From the roots to the top of the mushroom umbrella, it was kept extremely intact. Earth Cloud Ganoderma, this type of Reishi, is best used with a bit of its roots when making medicine, and fortunately, this one had it, about a thousand years old in age.
More importantly, the protection by the Cold Silkworm Cloth was also quite adequate. Speaking of which, the Ye Family also possesses some Cold Silkworms, though it's not yet the time for them to produce silk.
The quality of the Earth Cloud Ganoderma was good, and the Golden Root Fruit was also similar.
After inspecting them, Ye Jingcheng looked toward the Chief Steward Pang.
"Both of these treasures are thousand-year elixirs. One four thousand spirit stones, the Earth Cloud Ganoderma a bit more, six thousand spirit stones. Friend, ten thousand spirit stones will suffice!"
Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment upon hearing the price and did not immediately agree.
In the Yan Kingdom, this price would naturally be two or three tenths more expensive.
But in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain, this price for spiritual medicine materials was indeed so.
After all, apart from water attribute spiritual medicines, other types of spiritual medicines were scarce in the sea region. Land area wasn't much, mostly located in the outer sea or in mini-worlds.
Planting and cultivating were also difficult; periodic beast tides easily caused losses.
Therefore, many spiritual medicines were often imported from the Celestial Horse Sea Domain and sold in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.
This price isn't considered high.
But Ye Jingcheng wasn't going to agree so generously.
Even though he knew the other party was aware he was bargaining, he still had to bargain.
"Too expensive." Ye Jingcheng shook his head.
"Add a Tier Two Earth Attribute Demon Beast Inner Core for me!"
"Alright, let's make a friend," Chief Steward Pang hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
"Brother Dao, the auction token itself is worth fifty spirit stones, and someone needs to guarantee the trading meeting token as well. But since you are so young and already nearing the Purple Mansion, I'll represent the Yun Family in making a friend," Chief Steward Pang continued to express his difficulties despite having said this.
But in Ye Jingcheng's heart, he didn't feel grateful. For such auction trade meetings, this fat man was likely to profit off his spirit stones the least.
Of course, though he thought so, outwardly he expressed immense gratitude.
With Chief Steward Pang, he even identified himself with the surname Tang.
After exchanging perfunctory small talk, Ye Jingcheng took the spiritual medicine and treasures and left.
And Chief Steward Pang retreated to a side, holding a jade talisman in his hand.
"Record this: New late-stage Foundation Establishment loose cultivator, possesses Purple Mansion talent, is a Tier Two high-grade alchemy master, worth recruiting!" Chief Steward Pang whispered as he passed the jade talisman to the latter.
After a moment's silence, Chief Steward Pang spoke again.
"Also, keep an eye on whether he will later join the Purple Wood Sect!"
...
After exiting the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, Ye Jingcheng continued his tour of the subsequent Spirit Medicine Pill Pavilion.
These Spirit Medicine Pill Pavilion shops were just as different from those in the Yan Kingdom, perhaps due to the sea region, where beast tides and tribulation cultivators easily disregard reputations. Instead, the grander the name, the better the sales.
Nevertheless, Ye Jingcheng saw no sign of the Cold-Storage Grass.
And of the four Lifebound Magical Treasure materials, neither the remaining Blazing Flame Fan nor Celestial River Bead materials were found.
Even if they were, Ye Haicheng had already helped him gather them.
However, he found quite a few materials for the Celestial Sand Seal and Profound Wood Disc.
After making a round around the market, Ye Jingcheng found an inn and settled in.
He wasn't concerned about his identity being revealed.
The intention was to establish an identity of his own in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.
Every bit of his conduct and conversation over these days were all intentional information leaks.
At the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, he told Chief Steward Pang he was about to breakthrough to Purple Mansion, that he was buying spiritual medicine, and that his surname was Tang.
In other ways, he hinted that he came from a small fishing village, unexpectedly inheriting a legacy.
Then he explained some history prepared by the Ye Family. And it's important to know that this identity wasn't entirely fabricated; he had experienced life in the fishing village, and the former Tang Cheng was a real person, just deceased.
This way, anyone with the means to investigate would be able to find all his information.
He wouldn't appear as a cultivator who emerged out of nowhere.
Ye Jingcheng then took out the two tokens given by Chief Steward Pang. One had the words Celestial Cloud, and the other read Cloud Heaven.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but smile.
The simplicity of these names was just remarkable.
Ye Jingcheng stored the two tokens in a jade box, sealing them with spirit talismans.
Then he began setting up an array in the room, checking the Spirit Beast Bracelet only after the array was complete.
Inside the Spirit Beast Bracelet, there wasn't just one Cyan Fish but six of them, each three to four feet long, extremely robust, and enriched with substantial spiritual energy.
There was also one, about a foot long, differing from the other Cyan Fish; its scales weren't very hard, but it had two exceptionally large fins.
Its mouth was enormous, resembling a big-headed Cyan Fish visually.
Blub blub!
This Cyan Fish seemed to notice Ye Jingcheng, continuously spitting bubbles, clearly different in spiritual wisdom.
Ye Jingcheng immediately tossed all the other spirit fish into the Stone Spirit Grotto Heaven.
This kind of Cyan Fish, compared to Star-Feeding Fish and Red Section Fish, was even more suitable for breeding. If introduced to the Yan Kingdom, the profit would be substantial.
Only the Ye Family, at this time, didn't have such power.
In the end, it came down to the Ye Family's lack of strength; with sufficient power, earning spirit stones with the Ye Family's methods wouldn't be difficult.
Ye Jingcheng took out some spirit grass to feed them.
This kind of Cyan Fish also loved eating spirit grass, with significant requirements for it.
Yet unexpectedly, the ancestral variant Cyan Fish disregarded him, turned away.
Its mouth opened again, spitting out another bubble.
Ye Jingcheng then took out a piece of Meat Ganoderma flesh, and the Cyan Fish swallowed it in one bite.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a bit gloomy.
It seemed he had gained another small glutton.
He dripped some essence blood, initiating a blood contract. In the Yan Kingdom, had he had this Cyan Fish, Ye Jingcheng would've likely not formed a contract, but here in the sea region, having a fish-type spirit beast was quite remarkable.
During many occasions, dangers in water could be more easily sensed by fish-type spirit beasts.
The most crucial thing was that spirit beasts, which had advanced five times, weren't easy to find.
"I'll call you Roc Fish then!" Ye Jingcheng glanced at its two massive fins.
"Hope you will transform into a roc soon!"
Ye Jingcheng looked at the Treasure Book, seeing another page appear along with a list of pill formulas.
These pill formulas differed somewhat from those for the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.
This made Ye Jingcheng realize that although similar in genus and species, the spiritual medicines and pill formulas bore some similarities.
The greater the difference, the greater the differences in the formulas.
For instance, using the spirit pill of the Red Flame Fox for the Golden-eyed Crow posed some risks, but in reality, both involved spiritual fire.
There were some commonalities.
As for the abilities of the Roc Fish, Ye Jingcheng was left speechless.
Swallowing Skill!
In short, it meant swallowing.
With excellent digestion capabilities, it could swallow anything, having an enormous suction power.
Ye Jingcheng placed the Roc Fish into the Grotto Heaven and began entering seclusion.
He quietly awaited the arrival of the trade fair, somewhat eager to find some materials at the fair, whether it was for the Cold-Storage Grass or Celestial River Bead, the Blazing Flame Fan and Celestial Sand Seal materials, he found them all appealing.
Among the treasures prepared for exchange, Ye Jingcheng also took out a few Spirit Peaches that extended life by three years.
Alongside these were some Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts.
Objects like the Tier Two Middle-grade Infinite Ruler, Black Wood Coffin, Celestial Demon Bag, Tier Two High-grade Golden Thunder Spear, Tier Two Top-Grade Golden Dragon Claw, and Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner magical artifacts were all available for trade.
After all, now that he had broken through to the Purple Mansion, those treasures were of little use to him, and if the Eternal Green Sword wasn't so recognizable, he would even consider trading it.
In addition, Ye Jingcheng also prepared Vajra Vine Seeds.
Of course, his Vajra Vine Seeds were actually mutated Vajra Vine Seeds, with quicker catalyzing effects and higher value.
Besides this, he also possessed Tier Two Spirit Soil, a highly sought-after treasure in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.
Though spiritual medicine was difficult to cultivate, it's because they were easy to wither during transplantation.
However, Tier Two Spirit Soil could prevent this withering.
Once Ye Jingcheng had readied these treasures, his mind was at ease.
With time passing, another five days elapsed, and the trade fair finally arrived.
Ye Jingcheng felt the burning heat of the Cloud Heaven Order and exited the inn, promptly heading toward the auction hall behind the Celestial One Market.
Though the trade fair wasn't held in the auction hall, it was conducted in the Cloud Heaven Pavilion behind the auction hall.
