Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1069 - 749: Post-Hyperion Qilin Lion, Divine Monarch of Carefree

The hall buzzed with lively discussions. After all, Tier Four Spiritual Objects were on display, stirring the interest of many Golden Core and even peak Purple Mansion Cultivators. The Thunder Flood Dragon Essence Blood, in particular, drew a significant crowd, with many inquiring about its origins and properties.

This precious essence blood came from a Tier Four Thunder Flood Dragon Demon King, a formidable beast previously slain by the Celestial Water Sect during the most recent Beast Tide. Despite the widespread havoc wrought by the tide over the years, fallen or injured flood dragons, especially those wielding thunder attributes, were exceedingly rare. Moreover, the presence of many individuals of high status meant that even if they couldn't use these treasures personally, they could be offered as gifts to esteemed elders.

Ye Jingyu paused, then inquired about the Profound Sun Spirit Water. While the Thunder Flood Dragon Essence Blood held more intrinsic value, his Ye Family had no immediate use for it. However, the Profound Sun Spirit Water was directly relevant to Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Beast. After a quick mental calculation, he realized he possessed numerous Tier Three Great Demon Inner Cores, twelve remaining after cultivating his Jade Qilin Flood Dragon. He decided to offer nine cores for the item.

Given that this was a barter exchange, Ye Jingyu’s substantial Spirit Stones held little sway. He soon received a telepathic message from Master Miaoyuan. "Someone has offered a defective Tier Four Demon King Demon Pill!"

A defective Demon King Demon Pill, as explained, was one that the Demon King had nearly depleted of its Spiritual Energy before its demise. Such pills, akin to spent Spirit Stones, were greatly devalued and unsuitable for cultivators aiming to form a Fake Pill. Nevertheless, it was debatable whether this defective pill was superior or inferior to nine intact Tier Three Great Demon Cores. Master Miaoyuan, it seemed, was attempting to drive up the price.

"Eleven Tier Three Great Demon Inner Cores, including three from Late-Stage Tier Three Great Demons, paired with ten thousand Spirit Stones and two Tier Three Magical Treasures!" Ye Jingyu declared through gritted teeth. He recognized the significant contributions Ye Jingcheng had made, including aiding the advancement of the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and providing the Dragon Beard Fruit. Thus, after reserving one core for his Blue Jade Flood Dragon, he intended to offer all the rest.

"Very well!" Master Miaoyuan conceded after a brief hesitation. It was clear the opposing bidder would not escalate their offer further for the Profound Sun Spirit Water. While valuable, its utility was somewhat limited, and Master Miaoyuan desired a successful trade event, even if it meant a less-than-ideal exchange. To keep the event vibrant and facilitate the transaction, he accepted, albeit with some reluctance.

Following the successful exchange, Ye Jingyu felt a distinct lightness in his pockets. He had honestly believed his personal wealth surpassed that of most Purple Mansion Cultivators he knew. However, at this trade event, no one present seemed to be from a core Purple Mansion family or a disciple of a major Sect. His perceived advantage was proving insufficient.

Consequently, Ye Jingyu failed to acquire several other treasures that had caught his eye. One such item was a Spirit Banner Magical Treasure possessing both water and wind attributes, which he coveted, but the owner demanded a Tier Three High-Grade Defense Treasure in return. Ye Jingyu could only watch with disappointment.

"Next, we have the Chief Disciple of the Immortal Sect, Master Yuan Hao!" Master Miaoyuan announced with marked emphasis.

His introduction stirred considerable excitement among the attendees. This reaction wasn't solely due to Master Yuan Hao's prestigious background but rather his burgeoning renown. Amidst the many casualties and newfound heroes of the Beast Tide, Master Yuan Hao had emerged as a prominent figure.

Previously, as a Late-Stage Purple Mansion Cultivator, Master Yuan Hao had bravely withstood the onslaught of a Golden Core Demon King for dozens of breaths. This feat, even with the aid of several Tier Three Top-Grade Magical Treasures, was nothing short of astonishing!

Whispers circulated throughout the Eastern Domain, singling out Master Yuan Hao as the foremost cultivator of the Purple Mansion realm. His participation in this treasure exchange naturally fueled widespread anticipation.

Even Ye Jingyu found himself stealing glances, his mind subconsciously drawing comparisons between Master Yuan Hao and Ye Jingcheng.

Adorned in a brocade robe, Master Yuan Hao exuded an extraordinary presence, his long hair flowing like that of a Sword Immortal. As the attention of the crowd focused upon him, Master Yuan Hao gracefully clasped his hands together.

"Here, I thank Master Miaoyuan for the gracious invitation. On behalf of the Immortal Sect, Yuan Hao will not conduct a trade event but rather host an auction instead!"

"Master Yuan Hao is generous!"

"Master is insightful!"

...

Many attendees began to offer their praise.

After all, by the time one reached Purple Mansion and Golden Core cultivation, most trade events evolved into barter exchanges.

The rarer the item, the more this practice was common.

It was the only way for each party to obtain what they needed, without any profit or loss.

Some Spiritual Objects might have a set price, but due to their extreme rarity, they were simply not found in regular markets.

Such coveted items only emerged at dedicated trade events.

The most critical factor was their belief that Master Yuan Hao would not present ordinary objects.

"I am presenting three items!"

He then lightly produced three Jade Bottles.

Within the first Jade Bottle, a drop of radiantly shining Essence Blood was visible, even containing the faint shadows of a golden Qilin.

"This is the Essence Blood of the Post-Hyperion Qilin Lion, a Tier Four Early Stage Demon King, which Yuan Hao obtained while supporting a fellow disciple. It contains only this single drop of Essence Blood! The starting bid is set at ten thousand Spirit Stones!" With these words, the atmosphere immediately ignited with fervor.

Even Ye Jingyu's eyes burned with intensity.

He was not concerned about competing with Spirit Stones, as he carried a substantial amount from the Yun Family and the Purple Wood Sect.

He had no qualms about utilizing them.

Moreover, this Post-Hyperion Qilin Lion's Essence Blood is crucial for advancing to the Tier Four Golden Scale Pill.

Possessing this item would allow Ye Jingcheng's Golden Scale Beast to advance.

He was prepared to acquire it, even if it involved some risk.

"Fifteen thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Two hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

...

At this juncture, the trade fair had unequivocally transformed into an auction.

Furthermore, owing to Master Yuan Hao's esteemed status, even though he was not the designated auctioneer and refrained from making provocative statements, his mere presence was sufficient to captivate everyone.

And the price rapidly soared towards six hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

This alarming escalation caused Ye Jingyu's expression to shift dramatically.

After all, a Foundation Establishment spiritual object would typically cost around that much in Spirit Stones.

The Gold Condensing Pill, the most valuable Foundation Establishment treasure, was also valued at approximately a million Spirit Stones.

The intrinsic value of a Tier Four Demon King's Inner Core might not even reach that figure.

"Six hundred and ten thousand Spirit Stones!" Ye Jingyu gritted his teeth and declared the bid.

As he vocalized this price, he inwardly cautioned himself against making any further bids.

For him, successfully acquiring the right treasure for Ye Jingcheng was, in itself, a profoundly satisfying accomplishment.

He disliked being indebted to others.

Thus, he was willing to take some calculated risks.

"Is there anyone for six hundred and ten thousand Spirit Stones?" Master Yuan Hao himself expressed a degree of surprise at that moment, fully aware of the Post-Hyperion Qilin Lion's essence blood's true value.

He surmised that some attendees might be attempting to curry favor with him.

However, having committed to appearing at this event, he was unfazed by being flattered.

When no further bids were made, he finalized the sale.

At this point, Ye Jingyu exhaled a long sigh of relief.

Subsequently, Master Yuan Hao also auctioned a Tier Three Top-Grade Celestial Essence Barrier-Breaking Pill, a Spirit Pill marked with Pill Patterns.

The caliber of this Barrier-Breaking Pill was ample for a Purple Mansion Cultivator to overcome their bottleneck and even offered assistance to a Golden Core Cultivator to some extent, completely electrifying the crowd and driving the price to seventy-eight thousand.

However, the final treasure, the Tier Three High-Grade Treasure Armor of Golden Radiance, appeared relatively ordinary.

It only commanded a price of fifty-eight thousand Spirit Stones.

Witnessing this, Ye Jingyu experienced a complex mixture of awe and resignation.

If Ye Xuecang had been present, his acquisitions would undoubtedly have been more substantial.

After all, as a Purple Mansion Cultivator, making one or two bids, even at the cost of his entire fortune, would be somewhat justifiable.

However, engaging in three or four bids would likely brand him as an easy target, potentially attracting unwanted attention once he left the grand hall.

As Master Yuan Hao took his seat, the primary crescendo of this gathering temporarily subsided.

Attendees wore expressions of lingering excitement, with some speculating whether Master Yuan Hao or other disciples from the Penglai Immortal Sect would grace other auctions or trade fairs with their presence.

Indeed, prior to this auction, various trade fairs had been emerging endlessly.

The subsequent cultivator was a Spirit-Blocking Robe Cultivator, whose voice carried a slight hoarseness.

"My treasure is exclusively for a Life-Extending Elixir!"

"And it must be at least a fifty-year Life-Extending Elixir!"

His pronouncements were quite extraordinary, to say the least.

While other cultivators unveiled their treasures for appraisal before stating their terms, this Elder openly declared his conditions upfront.

Naturally, attendees were taken aback but refrained from interjecting.

They continued their observation as the cultivator produced a Jade Talisman.

"This treasure is the legacy of the Carefree Divine Monarch, the Three Elements Dao Foundation Technique. It can boost the Foundation Establishment chance by fifty percent, the Purple Mansion breakthrough chance by thirty percent, the Core Formation chance by twenty percent, and the Nascent Soul breakthrough chance by ten percent!"

As these words resonated, Ye Jingyu sensed the entire trading fair descend into profound silence.

"Naturally, this technique is not whole; the segment for augmenting Nascent Soul has been lost, capable at most of enhancing the Core Formation method. Furthermore, the spiritual medicine required by this secret technique is exceedingly demanding. However, for your families and sects, it is undoubtedly an invaluable inheritance. This technique is exclusively traded for a fifty-year Life-Extending Elixir, with at least two types required, equating to a hundred years of life extension!"

After concluding, the Elder uttered no further words.

Evidently, this was his sole treasure!

And within the trade venue, a rare hush prevailed.

Ye Jingyu now harbored a degree of regret; had he known beforehand, he would have sought three Longevity Spiritual Peaches from Ye Jingcheng in advance.

Such a Cultivation Technique foundation was greatly needed by the Ye Family as well.

Regarding the name of the Carefree Divine Monarch, it carried immense significance throughout the entire Eastern Domain.

Because the Carefree Divine Monarch was a Loose Cultivator, it could be safely stated that within the ten-thousand-year history of the Eastern Domain, he ranked among the very best.

The likelihood of this cultivation technique being counterfeit was not high.

Of course, despite the pervasive silence, no one dared to hastily make a move.

Moreover, a Cultivation Technique, unlike mere trinkets, can be acquired by numerous individuals.

Though no one vocalized their interest at this moment, it was impossible to ascertain how many were communicating via voice transmission in hushed tones.

Even Master Yuan Hao rose to his feet, suggesting the Penglai Immortal Sect's potential interest.

With Master Yuan Hao's standing, others immediately felt their hopes diminish.

After all, should this cultivation technique fall into the hands of the Penglai Immortal Sect, it would undoubtedly be kept secret and its dissemination prohibited.

"I trust you don't object if I examine this cultivation technique!" Master Yuan Hao inquired.

The Elder paused for a brief moment.

He then produced half of the Jade Talisman, created several copies,

And presented them to Master Yuan Hao.

"Please, Friend Yuan Hao, make a Heavenly Dao Oath!" Clearly, the Elder was a Golden Core True Master.

As he spoke, his confidence grew.

This also somewhat tempered the desires of others to seize it.

"It is indeed the inheritance of the Carefree Divine Monarch, but the deficiencies in this technique are overly substantial. If it were a fifty-year Longevity Spirit Fruit, then perhaps I would entertain the notion!" Master Yuan Hao glanced over it, then shook his head.

Yet, with this headshake, others became even more curious.

After all, if such a cultivation technique did not possess considerable flaws, it would not be within their reach.

As for the difficulty in acquiring other spiritual medicines, the Gold Condensing Fruit and Purple Mansion Jade Liquid are not simple to come by either!
