Ye Jingyu successfully bartered for the Profound Sun Spirit Water needed for Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Beast. Later, Master Yuan Hao of the Immortal Sect hosted an auction, selling the Essence Blood of a Post-Hyperion Qilin Lion for a high price. The gathering concluded with an elder offering the incomplete inheritance of the Divine Monarch of Carefree, a powerful cultivation technique, in exchange for a rare Life-Extending Elixir, but Master Yuan Hao deemed it too flawed for his consideration.

The Three Elements Dao Foundation Technique certainly sparked a significant commotion within the bustling trade fair hall.

It took a full fifteen minutes for the trading event to gradually settle back into its normal rhythm.

The individuals who successfully completed their trades were Master Miaoyuan, representing the Celestial Water Sect, and Fairy Qin Yu, affiliated with the Haoyang Daoist Temple.

Following their successful exchanges, even though others couldn't secure a trade, their interest remained palpably high.

It was now widely understood that True Monarch Xiaoyao had indeed left behind such a profound secret technique in the Eastern Domain.

With this notable transaction concluded, the remaining treasures presented at the fair returned to a more ordinary pace of presentation.

After a succession of highly sought-after treasures, it was finally the turn of Master Mo Dao from the Tian Dao Sect.

He rose, tidied his robes, and addressed the attendees with a rather crestfallen demeanor.

"Esteemed Daoist friends, the item I seek to trade for is also a longevity elixir!"

To facilitate his request, he presented a drop of Tier Four Bone Flame Demon Fox Demon King's Essence Blood and a Tier Four Magical Treasure.

The purpose for his offering was, once again, a longevity elixir.

However, a realization dawned upon the crowd simultaneously: it was highly probable that all available longevity elixirs had already been exchanged for the coveted Three Elements Dao Foundation Technique.

Consequently, no extra longevity elixirs remained.

At the same moment, everyone distinctly recalled the critical news that True Monarch Tian Dao of the Yan Kingdom's Tian Dao Sect was nearing the end of his natural lifespan.

An air of palpable awkwardness descended upon the hall.

Master Mo Dao's proffered treasures were undeniably valuable; even Ye Jingyu felt a flicker of temptation.

Particularly the Essence Blood from the Tier Four Bone Flame Demon Fox, which would have been perfectly suited for Ye Jingcheng's current needs.

Yet, the crucial missing piece was the longevity elixir, which he simply could not provide.

Even if Ye Jingcheng possessed one, Ye Jingyu would hesitate to make any promises at this juncture.

The uncertainty surrounding Ye Jingcheng's possession of a longevity peach, coupled with his current absence, made any commitments impossible.

He couldn't possibly step forward and casually state he owed a favor.

This situation might only change if Master Mo Dao failed to secure a longevity elixir throughout the entire duration of the auction event.

Should that unlikely scenario occur, Ye Jingyu might then consider reaching out to Ye Jingcheng later, perhaps to negotiate for the Bone Flame Demon Fox's Essence Blood.

While Ye Jingyu remained in contemplation, Master Mo Dao first experienced profound disappointment. He then directed his gaze towards the elder who had previously presented a cultivation technique.

In Master Mo Dao's estimation, that elder must surely possess at least two longevity elixirs.

Regrettably, the elder in question didn't even spare him a passing glance.

If it weren't considered impolite to depart prematurely, they might have already left the hall.

Ultimately, Master Mo Dao was unable to complete any trades and could only return to his seat with a sense of helplessness.

Ye Jingyu made no move to request a contact Jade Talisman.

After all, the more discreet his identity remained, the better it served his purposes.

Before long, another participant took their turn, and a variety of rare and precious spiritual objects once again captivated the assembled cultivators.

Even Ye Jingyu found himself drawn into the captivating array of treasures being presented.

When contrasted with other prominent families, the Ye Family's foundation appeared somewhat less established, lacking sufficient time to fully expand their influence.

Before long, the opportunity to present his own trade arrived for Ye Jingyu.

He put forth five or six pieces of materials harvested from Great Demons.

The most valuable among these was undoubtedly the Demon Hide sourced from the Celestial Wind Python.

Following that was the Whale Fin, derived from the formidable Blue Jade Whale.

The Celestial Wind Python hide was classified as a Tier Three High-Grade Spiritual Material, exceptionally well-suited for the refinement of Daoist Robes, cloaks, or Spirit Boots destined to become powerful Magical Treasures.

The Blue Jade Whale fin, in comparison, was a Tier Three Middle-Grade material.

Beyond these two significant items, the remaining materials also originated from powerful Tier Three Great Demons.

This accomplishment drew glances of admiration from the surrounding cultivators; the mere act of successfully hunting and acquiring materials from so many Great Demons was a testament to one's inherent strength and prowess.

At this very moment, even before Ye Jingyu could articulate his intentions, a voice from the crowd interjected.

"Distinguished Daoist friends and venerable Seniors, these materials are all intended for trade in exchange for potent Essence Blood or perhaps those few specific spiritual materials..."

Ye Jingyu stated his intentions clearly.

All these gathered treasures were precisely what Ye Jingcheng required.

At present, there were not many items he himself truly needed.

This was largely due to the family possessing Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, enabling Ye Xingliu to advance to the Purple Mansion stage; consequently, he had no pressing need for additional treasures at this moment.

If there was anything he desired, it would be for Ye Jingcheng to refine an Advancement Pill for him.

Therefore, his current plan was to exchange everything for treasures that would benefit Ye Jingcheng.

Naturally, after voicing his intentions, he also cast a glance towards Master Mo Dao.

After all, the Essence Blood offered by Master Mo Dao was exceptionally suitable, and Ye Jingyu would have willingly supplemented with additional spirit materials if necessary.

However, it was evident that Master Mo Dao held no interest in Spirit Beast materials.

In the end, Ye Jingyu traded a few auxiliary materials and acquired a Battle Array Technique.

As an accomplished Array Master, few Arrays truly managed to impress him; however, this specific battle array was designed for three exceptionally proficient Purple Mansion Cultivators, enabling them to leverage the power of the Three Talents to unleash capabilities far beyond their individual cultivation levels.

It was perfectly suited for forming the Three Talents power with his Jade Qilin and Blue Jade Flood Dragon.

After he finalized the trades for the desired treasures, Ye Jingyu’s turbulent emotions completely settled.

Different from the other cultivators present, he possessed remarkable self-control, rarely indulging in gazing at the subsequent treasures.

Although he already possessed a considerable amount of Spirit Stones and several Magical Treasures.

These Magical Treasures, Demon Beast Materials, and Demon Beast Inner Cores were a different matter entirely.

Many of these items were spoils of war with questionable origins, making them unsuitable for him to openly display.

He had no intention of inviting such unnecessary risks upon himself.

Furthermore, his accumulated gains thus far were already substantial.

If it weren't for the current inability to depart, he would have already made plans to withdraw.

With the conclusion of the last participant's treasure exhibition, Ye Jingyu seamlessly blended into the throng of cultivators adorned in Spirit-Blocking Robes, vanishing from the grand hall.

At this particular juncture, with the formidable beast tide looming, no one was entertaining any thoughts of resorting to murder for the sake of acquiring treasures.

After meticulously ensuring that no issues were present, Ye Jingyu altered his disguise multiple times before making his way back to the restaurant.

Upon his return to the restaurant, he immediately closed his eyes to recuperate.

Even with the knowledge that two additional Tier Three auction events would precede the main Tier Five auction, Ye Jingyu remained resolute in his decision not to venture out.

Instead, he confined himself to his private room.

During this interim period, his sole form of engagement involved sending messages to Ye Xingliu and the other members of their group.

Regrettably, this time around, out of the Ye Family's five distinct teams, only three had managed to successfully maintain their disguises, with one team already having been compelled to retreat and regroup with Ye Xuecang and his contingent.

Meanwhile, Ye Xingliu and his companions had initiated contact with the Xu Family, but their proposed terms were even more rapacious than those offered by the Yu Family.

They were audacious enough to demand five hundred Spirit Stones per individual.

...

Three days elapsed, and as the eve of the grand auction descended, Ye Jingyu perceived a marked increase in the number of cultivators surrounding them.

He even ventured to estimate that Celestial Horse Pass might now host a staggering seventy to eighty thousand cultivators.

It was abundantly clear that an ever-growing number of cultivators were converging upon this location.

One primary motivation was the upcoming auction; another significant factor was the ambition to re-partition the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

Ye Jingyu took the final sip of his Spirit Tea, his gaze sweeping over the bustling, animated crowd.

Just then, the Token bestowed upon him by Yu Xuanyin began to emit a soft glow.

Ye Jingyu promptly shut the window, while the other Ye Family members were already gathered attentively beside him.

The assembled group merged into the dense crowd, yet their trajectory diverged, heading in the opposite direction.

With the exception of Ye Jingyu himself, the remaining Ye Family members experienced a subtle twinge of regret.

After all, the impending Tier Five auction was widely acclaimed as one of the most significant auction events in the entire Eastern Domain.

"It is time!" Ye Jingyu transmitted his thoughts to the rest of the group.

The others acknowledged his statement with immediate nods, dutifully following in Ye Jingyu’s lead.

At that precise moment, Ye Jingyu's imposing figure conveyed an aura of boundless potential.

Shortly thereafter, the group arrived at the rear section of the island, specifically at Celestial Horse Island.

This area served as a dedicated docking port for Celestial Horse Pass, heavily guarded by numerous cultivators.

Similar to Ye Jingyu and his contingent, close to two hundred other individuals also converged at this location.

Prominently positioned at the forefront was Yu Xuanyin; however, Ye Jingyu astutely observed a concealed Late-Stage Purple Mansion Cultivator from the Yu Family positioned discreetly behind her.

This unexpected revelation caused Ye Jingyu a degree of surprise, yet he refrained from raising any alarm, instead diligently maintaining his Qi using the Supreme Turtle Concealing Breath Technique and his Communication Beast.

"Chief Steward Wan, we extend our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience. This is the inventory list submitted by our Yu Family Trading Association!" Yu Xuanyin presented a Storage Bag to a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

The fact that the list was conveyed via a Storage Bag strongly indicated the considerable quantity of Spirit Stones contained within.

The vigilant Purple Mansion Cultivator cast a brief glance at the contents and responded with a genial smile:

"Your Yu Family demonstrates admirable punctuality and strict adherence to all stipulated regulations. You may proceed. However, with the beast tide imminent, ensure you procure an ample supply of restorative spirit medicines; you are certain to reap substantial profits!"

The cultivator added this helpful suggestion.

Yu Xuanyin acknowledged the advice with repeated nods.

"Rest assured, Chief Steward Wan, we shall undoubtedly bring a generous quantity of restorative spirit medicines, and you shall be privileged to conduct the initial inspection!"

With these words, Yu Xuanyin gestured expansively.

Permitting the remainder of their party to board the Spirit Shuttle.

The Spirit Shuttle in question was a substantial vessel, classified as a Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Shuttle; while its velocity was not exceptionally high, it possessed the capacity to transport a considerable number of cultivators.

Even with nearly three hundred individuals boarding the Spiritual Ship, along with a significant amount of accompanying cargo, the interior still felt remarkably spacious.

Observing this scene, Ye Jingyu let out a sigh of relief.

He had previously noted that the majority of the cultivators present in the vicinity were in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation realms, with only a scarce three or four identified as Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Consequently, even if unforeseen peril were to manifest, he was fully confident in his ability to manage the situation!
