Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 1015: Chapter 707: Secret Realm Inquire Spirit

Within the enormous auction pavilion, as the aura of the Purple Mansion pressed out.

Dong!

The heavy chime resounded throughout the auction hall.

Ye Haicheng ascended on the back of a massive Earth Lizard Great Demon; its menacing maw and sturdy scale armor all proclaimed its terrifying combat power.

Meanwhile, Ye Haicheng’s stature became even more imposing.

The pressure from the dual Purple Mansion made everyone instinctively lower their heads.

Ye Haicheng glanced around the venue before slowly speaking:

“Fellow cultivators, I am Ye Haicheng of Ye Family, fortunate to host the opening of the auction here at Far Spirit Market today!”

“There are many questions about the Ye Family, but let me clearly inform everyone that our Ye Family will lead the development of the Cultivation Realm and return a powerful Desert Sea to you all!”

“It’s time for a hundred Cultivation clans to bloom together!”

“The oasis offered in this auction comes with autonomy for a hundred years, and during these hundred years, the Ye Family will ensure the safety of your oasis without any issue. So, bid freely, even if unfortunately some of you pass away within these years, the oasis will be inherited by your descendants!”

“Hence, go ahead and develop your Desert Sea oasis!”

“Moreover, if you establish new oases, you can enjoy the same rights!”

Ye Haicheng’s brief words were enough to ignite excitement in everyone’s eyes.

Centuries of autonomy paired with protection naturally maximizes the value of the oasis.

Originally hesitant cultivators now felt secretly relieved.

Additionally, recent measures by the Ye Family came to mind, such as lowering the prices of Spring Tea and Spirit Fish spirit cuisine, and rumors of the Ye Family’s historical ties with the Desert Sea from centuries ago.

Amid truths and tales, they’ve already regarded Ye Family as the new master of the Desert Sea.

“Of course, coupled with rights, we also hope you fulfill the following points: First, the final interpretation of the oasis arrangement lies with the Ye Family, and any discovered ore veins must be surrendered, though Ye Family retains a twenty percent profit share!”

“Second, everyone must fulfill their duties, eliminating hidden cultivators from Zhang Family and Jia Family in your respective oases, swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath, and not revealing anything from today!”

“Third, maintain a stable increase in the mortal population, within a century the number must increase fivefold!”

“Fourth, tribute based on clan cultivator quantity and cultivation level annually, tributes in Spirit Medicine could be valued with a premium!”

“Fifth, prove your capability to protect the oasis by annually eliminating a certain number of Tier One Sand Insects as tribute to Ye Family!”

…

Ye Haicheng listed several points, though to the loose cultivators present it seemed a boon rather than a burden.

Previously they lived as scattered cultivators, having to cross Celestial Departure Grassland, explore Spirit Medicine in mountains, or hunt Sand Insects in the desert.

Now with an oasis, they can cultivate their own Spirit Medicine Garden, form their own cultivation clan, without worrying about the oasis being seized, only needing to contribute a few herbs and some Sand Insect carcasses annually.

And protect some mortals, eliminate remnants of Zhang Jia clans, and make a Heavenly Dao Oath.

Having acquired an oasis, even if Ye Family remains silent, they’d already sweep out Zhang Jia’s remnants!

After all, they are benefactors of Ye Family’s ruling authority.

“Besides those points, I would also like to inquire about everyone’s insights into where Zhang Jia remnants might be hiding, and everyone’s belief where their mini world and secret realm might be hidden—today we’ll also use the Spirit Inquiry Array!”

“I assume no one is harboring Zhang Jia remnants!” Ye Haicheng’s prior statement made the cultivators’ expressions darken instantly, yet his latter words left them slightly stunned.

At this moment, Ye Haicheng raised his hand, sending countless Spirit Inquiry Talismans into the air.

Around the hall, they connected into a massive Spirit Inquiry Array.

Ye Family cultivators began the inquiry, asking possible locations where Zhang Jia’s might appear, secret realms, mini worlds, or grotto heavens.

Initially, the loose cultivators appeared worried; confined in the auction hall, being subject to inquiries, they feared their secrets might be exposed or Ye Family had ulterior motives.

However, seeing several Ye Family members flying out, inquiring only potential secret realm and mini world locations, they relaxed.

Previously these secret realms and mini worlds were beyond their reach, even if aware, they had no means to benefit.

Realizing many Zhang Jia cultivators might be hiding within, they dared not enter.

When Ye Family questioned, they disclosed all they knew.

Through Ye Family’s inquiries, they identified three Tier Two Secret Realms and five Tier One Secret Realms, each differing from the Desert Sea with richly favorable environments filled with Spirit Medicine and Demon Beast resources.

If Ye Family nurtures them carefully in the future, resource yields may increase.

No mini worlds were discovered.

Of course, Ye Haicheng knew these were only those secret places the loose cultivators happened upon, likely there were more undiscovered realms.

The Desert Sea, conducive to hiding yet difficult due to its expanses of mere sand without peculiar terrains.

Today Ye Family spent no resources when uncovering several secret realms.

Among them included locations of significant desert Demon Beast tribes.

Such as Sand Cloud Poison Scorpion, Red Crystal Sand Ant locations, which could become Ye Family’s future Spirit Insect pools.

Furthermore, Ye Family knew notable loose cultivators that hadn’t attended, facilitating future pursuits of Zhang Jia remnants.

Regrettably, no Zhang Jia assigned cultivators appeared in the auction, thwarting Ye Family’s plan to gain something significant from the event.

Clearly, the opposition was aware Ye Family might employ Spirit Inquiry at the auction.

After an hour of inquiries, the auction resumed its course with Ye Jingfu stepping onto the high platform.

“Fellow Daoists, I am Ye Jingfu of Ye Family, responsible for this auction’s affairs; this auction goes to the highest bidder, Spirit Stones are payable, or use Spirit Materials for mortgage!”

“The first auction item is a portion of Earthly Fiend Qi, precisely Absolute Yin Earthly Fiend Qi, suited for Foundation Establishment by water and wood attribute cultivators. Starting at five thousand Spirit Stones, each increment not less than one hundred Spirit Stones!”

As the first Earthly Fiend Qi was presented, the auction ignited with fervor.

Desert Sea cultivators are numerous, though few achieve Foundation Establishment; additionally, many Foundation Establishment cultivators seek oasis purchases, making it easier for Qi Cultivation cultivators to compete now.

Ultimately the price reached eight thousand nine hundred Spirit Stones.

In the Desert Sea, Earthly Fiend Qi and Celestial Spirit Qi prices are lower than in the Eastern Domain of Yan Kingdom, with less rarity.

To Ye Family, these Earthly Fiend Qi wares were formerly seized from Zhang Jia, alongside superior Foundation Establishment Pills, lacking concern for Earthly Fiend Qi.

This sale, regardless of quantity sold or profit gained, was merely for spectacle.
