Chapter 145: Chapter 146: Chu Family Upheaval
Chen Xuanzhou was so infuriated with Chu Xiyu that he wanted to curse him out.
He knew that Chu Xiyu didn’t truly believe that the Chen Family was responsible for attacking the Chu Family’s Spirit Land.
After all, the Chu Family’s Foundation Establishnt power had increased significantly after one of their West-generation prodigious daughters married into the Taiyi Sect. Even if they dispatched so mbers, the Chu Family’s strength was still far beyond what the Chen Family could rival.
The only possible culprits were the Xu Family and Mo Family!
But without evidence, the Chu Family couldn’t take action; otherwise, the Xu Family and Mo Family would not bother to explain, and would instead demand compensation for slander.
And he truly dared not to say it like that.
As for the Ye Family, the Chen Family indeed was responsible; he could only admit it begrudgingly.
"Since this matter has been exposed, I admit it. I did go to the Ye Family, but it was only because the Ye Family had traitors from the Chen Family. We were capturing the traitors. I’m willing to bear the loss of ten thousand Spirit Stones. Additionally, concerning the Chu Family, the Chen Family didn’t go there, but Chen suspects whether the Chu Family sold those Spirit Stones and the harvest, crying thief to catch a thief!"
"After all, so people would want to purchase the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid!"
"Moreover, Chen has heard that Elder Chu has already left Xianyun Peak!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an imdiate uproar, with everyone looking at Chu Xiyu.
For Elder Chu to leave Xianyun Peak, there was only one possibility: to use the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.
After all, taking it back was certainly impossible due to the high risk.
Instead, they might rent a cave mansion in the Market over there for breakthrough purposes.
With Chu Tianfen’s relationship with his daughter, renting a cave mansion with a Tier Three Spiritual Vein in Taichang Market would not be a problem.
"Stop slandering people, my uncle from the Chu Family rely went to the Sect to et my sister Xi Yu!" Chu Xiyu hastily explained.
But his explanation was too feeble and unconvincing!
Especially the Xu Family and Mo Family, who directly began to take their leave on the spot.
Not paying attention to the ss concerning the Chen Family and Ye Family.
The other families also displayed a look of surprise.
They hadn’t expected that the Chu Family would indeed purchase the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid!
The value of this treasure starts at two hundred thousand Spirit Stones; to buy it, one would need at least four to five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and if competition was fierce, even more wouldn’t be unexpected.
"Hmph, I’ll go back and investigate that robe!" Chu Xiyu stopped explaining and hastily left.
Not pursuing the Chen Family’s matters further.
Compared to becoming a Purple Mansion Clan, a small Jade Valley, in their view, could naturally be settled slowly.
Moreover, in Jade Valley, there are two Foundation Establishnts, plus an Array; only the Xu Family and Mo Family have that capability.
After all, in each Taihang Market, there are two Foundation Establishnt Cultivators for every family.
"Daoist Chen, even if it’s for capturing traitors, a loss of ten thousand Spirit Stones is too little. Many cultivators from the Ye Family died this ti!"
"I will submit the list to the Sect in three days!"
"Ten thousand Spirit Stones, plus one Tier One High-Grade Yuqing Peach Tree!" Chen Xuanzhou gritted his teeth and said.
He also cursed the Xu Family and Mo Family fiercely.
Today’s Ye Family originally had no evidence and couldn’t force them.
But unfortunately, with the Chu Family on the side, compensating for Chu Family’s Jade Valley would be incredibly valuable.
And this Chu Xiyu really isn’t a good person; he clearly knows that the Chen Family doesn’t have that strength.
Yet he still blas him forcibly!
"Daoist Chen, write an affidavit. If this happens again, and neither of our families gain Foundation Establishnt Pills or Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, I will not let the Chen Family off easily!" Ye Xingliu said coldly, with anger still in his eyes.
He then took out a Jade Book.
This Jade Book, known as the Taiqing Jade Book, is a Spirit Contract among cultivators.
Issued by the Taiyi Sect; once signed, it cannot be reneged.
Although Chen Xuanzhou was reluctant, he still signed it.
He also worried that the Ye Family would really submit all the information.
For the Chen Family to avoid being severely punished by the Sect, it needed to submit more Spirit Stones and pay a higher price.
Even though he knew there might be a trap, he still had no choice but to jump in.
...
Taichang Market, Ye Jingcheng set up a stall for three days and discovered that the number of cultivators in the Market had dwindled, especially in the shops.
He sat at his stall, and even now, more than half of the Spirit Pills hadn’t been sold.
Despite having modified the discount policy these past two days, offering Fasting Pills, there was still no effect.
His expression didn’t show much annoyance.
He understood in his heart that selling at the Market stalls indeed brought more profits, but one also had to bear the risk of not selling.
On the contrary, families were different; as long as Ye Jingcheng could refine and sell, the family would purchase.
The price, however, would differ sowhat.
Moreover, Loose Cultivators visiting stalls would initially purchase Elixirs and by now, would mostly seek rare Spiritual Objects.
Spirit Pills were certainly not in shortage.
Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng also packed up the stall, not intending to waste ti.
He headed to the shop buildings.
These past days, he had already clarified the layout of the entire Taichang Market.
The Taichang Market is divided into four districts.
The area near the north side is where the Auction Hall and the most bustling comrcial street are located. Here, there are family-operated shops.
Several shops are four stories high.
And the West City District is where the stall area and the Loose Cultivator flat area they are currently located.
The South City District is the shop area upon entering, while the East City District is where cultivators rent caves and pavilions.
The spiritual veins there are extrely abundant; it’s said that the price of cave pavilions is at least ten tis that of the flat area.
The place Ye Jingcheng plans to visit today is precisely Jin’s Treasure Tower.
This Jin Clan is one of the few Golden Core Clans under the Taiyi Sect.
They are also more skilled in pill and dicine, and it’s said that the spirit dicine they hand over to the Taiyi Sect each year is a huge number.
Ye Jingcheng cos to this Jin Clan mainly to look at spirit dicine.
Although he is more interested in spirit beasts, looking at spirit beasts is too risky as it might link him to the Ye Family; after all, he appeared in the Hidden Dragon Hall, where the Chief Steward is now a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator of the Taiyi Illusion Peak.
He doesn’t particularly lack spirit beasts at the mont, so he let that go.
In contrast, even though he has found the spiritual dicine for the Jade Qilin Pill now, he has both the pill formula for the Tier Two Red Fla Pill and the Tier Two Golden Scale Beast Pill.
This ti, he naturally wants to take this chance to look around.
Not to say he’ll gather everything, but he can look for so rare spirit dicine.
Especially so relatively precious spirit dicine, to be prepared for future needs.
Ye Jingcheng walked into Jin’s Treasure Tower, and what caught his eye was a large spirit screen displaying the current spirit dicines available in the tower.
For example, the Red Dragon Fruit and Falling Fla Grass, which Ye Jingcheng once considered rare, seed sowhat common here.
Even the three main ingredients for the Jade Qilin Pill were all present except for the Water Cloud Grass; the Cyan Snake Flower and Jade Beauty Fruit were all there, though not matured enough.
Otherwise, Ye Jingcheng would imdiately purchase them, as there is a certain chance of failure in alchemy, so being able to prepare multiple sets is undoubtedly better.
And for the spirit dicines of the Tier Two Red Fla Pill and the Tier Two Golden Scale Pill, there were also several kinds listed.
However, they were all auxiliary materials of Tier One spiritual dicines.
But even so, it made him pleasantly surprised; these auxiliary materials are rather hard to find in the Taihang Market.
At this mont, an extrely beautiful female cultivator approached.
"Sir, what spirit dicine do you need? Here we have a relatively comprehensive selection of spirit dicine and spirit pills in the Taichang Market."
"Dare I ask, Fairy, do you have Tier Two spiritual dicine? Can a Qi Cultivation Cultivator purchase it? I’m looking for a birthday gift for my master, wanting to grit my teeth and buy sothing special!" Ye Jingcheng spoke, rather embarrassed.
The female cultivator nodded upon hearing this.
She has seen many such cultivators.
"It’s naturally possible, but Tier Two spiritual dicine requires going to the second floor. Qi Cultivation Cultivators need capital verification and at least a thousand spirit stones to go up!" the female cultivator explained very patiently.
Ye Jingcheng didn’t hesitate, took out a normal storage bag, and counted a thousand spirit stones piece by piece.
After showing it to the female cultivator, she led Ye Jingcheng to the second floor.
The arrangent on the second floor was more elegant with rows of bookshelves, along with an Eight Immortals Table and spirit tea on the table.
In these bookshelves, there were nurous spirit shields containing various spirit dicines.
"Sir, are you looking for pills? Except for the Foundation Establishnt Pill, we have all other Tier Two Pills here!"
"Senior, I would like to purchase a fire attribute spirit dicine as a gift for my master!" Ye Jingcheng said.
"The rarer, the better!" Ye Jingcheng added.
Upon hearing this, the Chief Steward’s expression turned a bit indifferent, as after all, spirit dicine isn’t as valuable as pills.
However, he still walked out, served Ye Jingcheng a cup of tea, and then took out five jade boxes.
These jade boxes were all transparent.
And were clearly all Tier Two Lower Grade fire attribute spiritual dicines.
"These five treasures, do you want to take a look at them, sir?"
Ye Jingcheng examined them carefully, and these five spirit dicines were Red Fish Grass, Fire Heart Flower, Fox Red Grass, Red Feather Ganoderma, and Crane Heart Red.
Ye Jingcheng shook his head on the surface, appearing sowhat disappointed, but internally he was thrilled.
This Fox Red Grass is indeed one of the five main ingredients of the Tier Two Red Fla Pill.
His hunch about coming here was right!
"Do you wish to see the Tier Two Middle Grade spirit dicines, sir?" the Chief Steward asked again.
"No need, my spirit stones are insufficient, just the Fox Red Grass, please. May I ask how much the Fox Red Grass costs?"
"Nine hundred and ninety-three spirit stones; let’s waive these three spirit stones, so it’s nine hundred and ninety spirit stones for you, Daoist!"
"Thank you so much, Senior. It’s just that, Senior, I am an Alchemy Master, and I have my eye on so lower-grade spirit dicines below, but I’m a bit short on funds. Could you reserve so for , and I’ll co back in a few days to buy them!"
"Of course, I can make that decision for you!" The Chief Steward nodded, satisfied with the transaction.
And Ye Jingcheng also took out spirit stones to exchange for spirit dicine. As for the Tier One ones, he didn’t exchange for those.
Regarding coming back to exchange later, it was to show he was sowhat poor, to prevent the treasure tower from forming thoughts about him. Even if he intends to buy later, he would entrust ng Xuan to co instead of purchasing big-handedly by himself.
Otherwise, going out like this, it’s hard to tell how many tails he might pick up.
In the coming days, he plans to look around other treasure towers, but unfortunately, he now only has a little over two thousand spirit stones.
At most, he can purchase one more spirit dicine for the Tier Two Red Fla Pill.
The Two-tailed Red Fla Fox was already so formidable, making him eager for the Three-tailed Red Fla Fox.
After making a big circle around the market, ensuring there were no tailing cultivators, Ye Jingcheng returned to the flat area.
"Jingcheng, we have to leave early; the Chu Family has gotten hold of the Purple Mansion Jade Liquid!" Ye Haiyi said, his face full of astonishnt and a bit of concern.
After all, quite a few Purple Mansion Foundation Establishnt figures will arrive at the Taihang Market by then.
If they were discovered, it could also affect the Ye Family’s grand plan!
