Chapter 742 - 512: Auction House, Obtaining Turtle Blood Grass

Faced with the questioning from the Wang Family Ancestor, the elders remained silent, with no response.

"This matter is settled.

At worst, our Wang Family will go to war with those two major families.

Our Wang Family isn’t without allies in this Northern Wilderness, it would just take paying a bigger price.

As long as I live, those two families wouldn’t dare actually start a war."

The Wang Family Ancestor said firmly.

With the Wang Family Ancestor Wang Shan about to break through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment.

His temper was getting more straightforward, a confidence brought about by increased strength.

The elders below could only nod in agreement.

After the elders dispersed, only a few core members of the family remained in the ancestral hall.

"Ancestor, what is the reason for this?"

Clan Leader Wang couldn’t help but ask.

The family members understood the temperament of the Ancestor quite well.

"What else could it be?

It’s all for the Turtle Blood Grass!"

Wang Shan was quite angry.

He felt that these family members were not understanding, "Has the Turtle Blood Grass been found yet?"

Wang Family Clan Leader instantly lowered his head and said helplessly: "We are just short of the last Turtle Blood Grass for collecting the Foundation Establishment Pill materials.

But this last ingredient is truly hard to find."

"I heard that recently, the Turtle Blood Grass surfaced in Celestial South Market but is only at the auction within the market.

And to enter the auction and gain qualification, one must own a business in Celestial South Market. Otherwise, even our Wang Family wouldn’t have this qualification."

Wang Shan spoke.

At this moment, Zheng Yi suddenly spoke up: "Can’t other families be hired to purchase it on our behalf?"

Wang Shan was almost furious hearing this but turned his head seeing it was Zheng Yi.

This second-grade Alchemist he highly relied upon.

In the eyes of this old man, as long as Zheng Yi can refine second-grade Spirit Pills, he is a true second-grade Alchemist; doesn’t matter black cat or white cat, catching mice is a good cat.

He forcibly turned his anger into a pleasant expression and explained: "The Third Elder might not know, hiring other families to attend auctions on our behalf and pre-paying Spirit Stones.

They are very likely to turn face and not recognize us, claiming the Turtle Blood Grass as their own.

Even if they don’t do this, the agency fees alone might be quite substantial.

Anyway, our Wang Family now has enough strength to join in, so why not?

Moreover, this way, we can better sell the numerous second-grade Spirit Pills that the Third Elder previously refined without letting others take advantage for free."

Wang Shan said slowly.

It was not until this moment that the elders in the family realized the many benefits and agreed with the Ancestor’s proposal.

As everyone was about to leave.

Zheng Yi smiled slightly and said: "I suspect the Ancestor might soon break through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment, this Mind Calming Pill might help the Ancestor, which I just recently refined."

Saying this, Zheng Yi raised his right hand, revealing a bottle of Mind Calming Pill in his palm.

The Spirit Pill, guided by Spiritual Power, quickly floated to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan opened it and indeed saw it was a Mind Calming Pill.

The Mind Calming Pill has no effect on regular cultivation but offers a thirty percent boost during a breakthrough, allowing the one breaking through to stay calm and steady as an old dog.

No matter what happens, they remain unmoved, using all the Spiritual Power within for the breakthrough, resulting in excellent effects.

However, the Mind Calming Pill is extremely rare on the market.

It can be said to be priceless and unavailable.

Basically, it was all snatched up by the Celestial Profound Sword Sect’s Inner Sect Elders and Inner Sect Disciples; occasionally when one appears, it’s swiftly sold out.

"Truly worthy of being our Wang Family’s Third Elder!"

"Rest assured, Third Elder, the Wang Family will not take any advantage of you."

"You may choose any item from the clan contribution points at any time, Third Elder."

Wang Shan said loudly.

Once again painting a beautiful picture for Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi slightly bowed in thanks and left the ancestral hall.

He didn’t bother talking much more to the Great Elder, Second Elder, and the Clan Leader, heading directly to Master Zhang.

Master Zhang looked at Zheng Yi, and before he could speak, Zheng Yi shocked him by saying: "I wonder if Master Zhang is prepared to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

"The Foundation Establishment Pill is refined?"

Master Zhang raised an eyebrow, looking at Zheng Yi with a teasing gaze.

Zheng Yi shook his head and said: "Though the Foundation Establishment Pill hasn’t yet been refined, the family will soon gather all the Foundation Establishment materials, and then we’ll open the furnace to refine pills.

I’m just giving Master Zhang a heads-up."

"Thanks, Third Elder."

Master Zhang snorted and replied to Zheng Yi.

Seeing this, Zheng Yi couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

...

In Celestial South Market, recently, the presence of Wang Family disciples gradually settled in.

The Piaomiao Mountain Wang Family directly bought several shops on Celestial Cloud Street, encountering various situations during the process, from forced buying to fair trade, honest with both the young and old.

Some asked for sky-high prices only to greatly lower them later.

But with the elder from the Wang Family negotiating, these transactions ultimately went smoothly, achieving great success.

Thus, the Piaomiao Mountain Wang Family barely established a foothold in Celestial South Market, obtaining the qualification to participate in the auction.

However, this move raised the vigilance of the Li Family from Qingshui Pool and the Zhang Family from Chiyan Valley.

"What on earth is their Wang Family trying to do?"

Inside the Drunken Immortal Tower, the clan leader of the Li Family and the Great Elder of the Zhang Family sat facing each other.

The Great Elder of the Zhang Family had reached the tenth layer of Qi Refining, while the clan leader of Zhang Family seemed more like a mascot.

The position of the Zhang Family’s clan leader was fiercely contested, unlike the harmonious Wang Family.

The Zhang Family’s Foundation Establishment Realm Ancestor barely managed, causing the younger generation to each showcase their divine powers, resulting in serious internal consumption of family strength.

After all these years.

Though the Zhang Family still retained Primordial Qi due to a solid foundation, how much longer they can last is unknown.
