In the slightly dim courtyard, Ye Jingcheng at this moment looked like a spectator, watching the auction continue.

The auction remained lively, even though people couldn't see each other's faces, let alone identify each other's identities.

Perhaps they were even enemies, but at this moment they were unaware.

There was a mysterious sense of security, and the treasures at the auction were unlike anything anyone had ever experienced before.

Moreover, they were extremely blatant, blood-soaked treasures, stolen goods, furnace women, each item brought out could provoke cries of being an evil cultivator or demon cultivator.

But here, people only showed emotion when the prices skyrocketed.

This was the mysterious Cyan Spirit Trading Association, and the reason they were so cautious.

Coincidentally at this time, because too few treasures had been sold at the Taichang Market, most Foundation Establishment cultivators still had plenty of spirit stones remaining.

After Chu Yanqing's treasures, there were Tier Three magical treasures, array discs, puppets, and even a refined Tier Two top-grade corpse refinement.

One could say, even the three of them, Ye Jingcheng and his companions, were dazzled at the sight.

The only pity was that there were no spirit beasts to be seen.

"Alright, everyone, the auction ends here. Next, everyone can come up to auction treasures or barter goods, and the association will ensure your safety!" Chief Steward Qing bowed and stepped down from the high platform, gesturing for everyone to begin from the seats on the left, taking turns coming up.

Those sitting in the front, whether they were shills or regular attendees of the Cyan Spirit Trading Association, immediately took out a Tier Two high-grade longsword as they came up.

"This sword is named Chixiao Sword, a Tier Two high-grade spiritual artifact, with array patterns to enhance sword speed and break through the air. Everyone can use their Divine Sense to verify its sharpness!"

"The starting bid for this treasure is seven thousand spirit stones!"

A flying sword spiritual artifact, even among spiritual artifacts, was relatively low-priced.

After all, the craftsmanship in refining flying swords was too mature, and considering this Tier Two high-grade spiritual artifact only possessed sharpness, its overall value was between ten thousand to twenty thousand.

Presumably stolen goods, naturally, the starting price was five thousand.

Ye Jingcheng squinted his eyes as he watched, knowing he also had lots of ill-gotten goods; perhaps he could sell some later as well.

Of course, he had to carefully observe the prices; if they weren't right, it would be better to keep them in the Ye Family's treasure vault. Though they couldn't be used in Taihang Commandery, they could still be useful for the hidden cultivators in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

While watching the auction items, Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt some movement around him, only to see Chu Yanqing, sitting on his lap, her gaze still unfocused, but her fingers twitching slightly.

She seemed to want to break free.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng slapped her on the buttocks again, causing her to stiffen instantly.

The crisp sound resonated in the courtyard, only adding to the knowing laughter from those who understood.

There was no other scene.

Ye Jingli and Ye Xingyi next to him also couldn't help but look over; they naturally recognized Chu Yanqing.

At this moment, they could only marvel at Ye Jingcheng's emotional acting skills.

With such an action, even Chu Yanqing probably couldn't guess that this was Ye Jingcheng.

With the Chixiao Sword auctioned, the second person soon went up.

And this person was different; he took out a spirit beast egg.

As soon as the spirit beast egg appeared, the gazes of the three Ye Jingcheng immediately gathered onto it.

Their main goal attending such meetings was to buy high-talent spirit beasts.

Among them, Ye Jingli was okay, already having the Red Flame Python, but Ye Xingyi's current spirit beast was not outstanding.

"This egg is a descendant of the Nanming Bird, and if it reaches adulthood smoothly, it can grow up to a Tier Four Great Demon. I obtained it from a century-old volcanic vent south of Cyan River. The starting bid is five thousand spirit stones!" proclaimed the cultivator.

Ye Xingyi was immediately filled with excitement upon hearing this, as the Nanming Divine Bird was second only to the Phoenix Vermilion Bird True Spirit.

Of course, he didn't truly believe it was a descendant of the Nanming Divine Bird, but the beating flames alone, with a temperature comparable to Ye Jingcheng's Cyan Yang Flame, made it likely only comparable to an advanced Two-tailed Red Flame Fox.

"Six thousand!" It was also Ye Xingyi's first bid.

At this time, however, Ye Jingcheng's heart was filled with caution.

His Treasure Book lit up, albeit not with many advancements, but only once.

Through the Spirit Shadow, Ye Jingcheng also judged that this was not a descendant of the Nanming Divine Bird.

It was merely an ordinary Red Feathered Finch, albeit prematurely refined with special spiritual fire.

The Red Feathered Finch born this way was indeed somewhat powerful, but absolutely not worth thousands of spirit stones.

"Uncle Xingyi, give up, this egg has issues." Ye Jingcheng transmitted to Ye Xingyi.

Meanwhile, he became a bit more cautious in his heart.

The treasures here, besides being stolen goods, had no guarantee of authenticity, relying entirely on one's vision and experience.

And this spirit beast egg clearly tested one's vision or sought a fool.

After hearing Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xingyi hesitated but ultimately refrained from bidding, and quickly, this spirit beast egg was bought by someone else for eight thousand spirit stones.

Ye Jingcheng glanced at the other people, noticing that they all appeared indifferent.

He was sure many others had also realized, but did not say anything, or perhaps, this was the rule of the Cyan Spirit Trading Association.

But fortunately, the Earth Lion Essence Blood bought by Ye Jingcheng had no issues.

The trade continued, the next item was also a spirit beast.

This was an ordinary fire ape, its body extremely thin, yet with a very determined look in its eyes.

Its entire body was covered with scarlet fur, which formed circles of spirit patterns.
