212: Chapter 212 The Exchange Meeting Begins

"It is beginning," Ye Yisong said with anticipation as he watched the Ding Family Elder appear on the high platform in the center of the tower, carrying a jade plate.

"Everyone, I am Ding Shangyan. By the order of the Clan Chief, I will be hosting this exchange meeting. I hope everyone will be able to gain something from it," Ding Shangyan said, cupping his hands to those around him.

"The foundation of the Four Great Clans in Linhai Prefecture is truly unfathomable; here is another Martial Ancestor at the Late Stage," Ye Yisong frowned slightly, feeling an invisible pressure weighing on his heart.

He had originally thought that only major powers like those in the East Sea were entities the Ye Family could not contend with.

Now it seemed that was far from the truth; none of these Four Great Clans in Linhai Prefecture were pushovers.

He wondered if his Family rushing into these muddy waters would be a blessing or a curse.

"Fellow Daoists, I know you have been impatient for a long time. I will start things off; I hope you will not find it lacking," Ding Shangyan said, lifting the cover from the jade plate to reveal what was inside.

Five fragrant Tier 4 Low Grade Spirit Peaches appeared before everyone's eyes, each emitting a faint yellow light and containing a charming color.

"Tier 4 Spirit Peach!"

Ye Yisong's eyes widened, and his breathing became slightly rapid. He knew they ate well, but he hadn't expected them to eat this well; they started right off with such a treasure.

Tier 4 Low Grade Spirit Peaches can cleanse a Martial Artist's Physical Body, eliminate the harm of medicinal toxins in the body, and also assist a Tier 3 Martial Master in overcoming a Bottleneck, increasing the success rate of a Breakthrough by half a percent.

However, all things in the world have their limits. Although the Spirit Peaches are good, they should not be consumed in excess.

The Tier 4 Spirit Peach was precisely what Ye Yisong was seeking on this trip. If he could purchase a few Tier 4 Spirit Peaches to cleanse his Physical Body and eliminate the swelling and pain in his Meridians, Ye Yisong could continue taking the spirit ascension pill to improve his strength and strive to reach the Late Stage of the Martial Ancestor realm as soon as possible.

"Fellow Daoists, one hundred thousand Spirit Stones each, or they can be exchanged for items of equivalent value. The highest bidder wins," Ding Shangyan said, standing on the high platform, looking around and waiting for everyone to bid.

"I offer one hundred thousand Spirit Stones to buy one."

"One hundred twenty thousand Spirit Stones."

"One hundred thirty thousand Spirit Stones."

Linhai Prefecture had dozens of subordinate counties, and there was no shortage of powerful Martial Ancestor families. As soon as the Spirit Peaches appeared, Elders from various factions began bidding.

Although the Tier 4 Spirit Peach could only increase the success rate of a Breakthrough by half a percent, for every Nine-Star Martial Master, this was undoubtedly a precious treasure.

Used in conjunction with a Tier 4 barrier-breaking pill, it might just allow the Family to have one more Elder.

In the end, the first Spirit Peach sold for one hundred forty thousand Spirit Stones, and the second for one hundred fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

Ye Yisong had a rough idea of the price of the Tier 4 Spirit Peaches in his mind. Just as the third Spirit Peach was about to be sold, he announced a high price that crushed everyone else's bids.

"Four Diamond Body Protection Talismans for one Spirit Peach."

"Elder Ding, these are twelve Tier 4 Diamond Body Protection Talismans. I will take the remaining three Spirit Peaches," Ye Yisong said.

"Does anyone else wish to bid?"

The extravagance revealed in Ye Yisong's words suppressed the bids of everyone else for a moment, and the venue fell silent.

"Who is this?"

"Tier 4 defensive Talismans cost at least sixty thousand Spirit Stones each on the market right now, and he just brought out twelve at once."

"It is someone from the Ouyang Family. The voice sounds very young. Could it be a Disciple of Great Master Ouyang Guanhai? I haven't heard that Great Master Ouyang Guanhai has taken any Disciples recently."

"It is Great Master Ye Yisong of the Cangjiang Ye Family, a Fourth-Rank Talisman Master," a powerful Martial Ancestor who was on good terms with the Zhao Family revealed the secret.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoists. I appreciate you letting me have them," Ye Yisong said, cupping his hands to those around him and putting away the three remaining Spirit Peaches from the center of the high platform.

"Thank you all for your consideration. I will leave the rest of the time to you all. I wish you all success in achieving your goals!" Ding Shangyan collected the twelve Tier 4 Talismans floating in the air, turned around, and returned to the building on the north side, giving up his spot.

"I have a Tier 4 Black Dragon Grass here that can help those who cultivate wood-attribute Cultivation Techniques increase their cultivation. I want to exchange it for a Tier 4 defensive Magic Treasure." Following Ding Shangyan, an old man in red stepped onto the high platform, took out a black dragon-patterned herb over a foot long from his Storage Pouch, and displayed it before everyone.

"Can it be exchanged for Spirit Stones?"

"Yes."

Seeing that no one was bidding, the old man in red reluctantly agreed. In the end, it was bought by an Elder of the Song Family for one hundred twenty thousand Spirit Stones.

Afterwards, Martial Ancestors successively stepped onto the high platform to trade Tier 4 treasures they didn't need for Spirit Stones or other items.

Ye Yisong had little interest in these various Heaven And Earth Treasures, Spirit Pills, and precious medicines.

It wasn't until an old man in hemp clothing took out two bottles of Beast Spirit Pills brought back from the Western Prefecture from his sleeve that Ye Yisong's attention was drawn once again.

"Fellow Daoists, these are Beast Spirit Pills introduced from the Western Prefecture to the East Sea Prefecture. They have many wonderful uses for cultivating contracted Spirit Beasts and can quickly increase the strength of a Yao Beast," the old man in hemp clothing introduced, "I am only exchanging them for defensive Magic Treasures of equivalent value to two hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

"Two bottles of Tier 4 Medicinal Pills for two hundred thousand Spirit Stones; that is quite a good deal," Ye Yisong thought to himself and bid, "Four Diamond Body Protection Talismans."

"Deal," the old man in hemp clothing agreed readily.

"Third Brother, how many more Tier 4 defensive Talismans do you think are in Ye Yisong's Storage Pouch?" Ouyang Qinghai asked suspiciously.

"Now you know how impressive Fellow Daoist Ye is, right? Don't forget, he also gave the Family thirty-five Tier 4 Talismans this month," Ouyang Qingsheng reminded him. He was also secretly shocked by Ye Yisong's extravagance; this young man was definitely not simple!

"If these Talismans were all made by him this month, doesn't that mean he made fifty-one Tier 4 Talismans in one month, or even more?" Ouyang Qingxi said, her mouth slightly agape in surprise.

"After returning to the Family, we must tell the Clan Chief about this situation as soon as possible. Perhaps in two months, we shouldn't let him go back," a ruthless glint flashed in Ouyang Qinghai's eyes. Although the Ouyang Family was allied with the Cangjiang Ye Family, the alliance's strength was too powerful, which was not something the Ouyang Family wanted to see.

"That won't do this time. Not only must we not sabotage him, but we must also do everything in our power to ensure his safety and protect this Ye Yisong as he returns to the Ye Family," Ouyang Qingsheng shook his head. As one of the three most outstanding members of the Ouyang Family's younger generation, Ouyang Qingsheng knew far more inside information than the other two.

"This... very well," although Ouyang Qinghai and Ouyang Qingxi did not know the inside story, they were very obedient and accepting of Ouyang Qingsheng's words.

"A Tier 4 Medium Grade Formation. This Formation integrates offense and defense, with three internal attack Formations and two defense Formations. It is valued at five hundred thousand Spirit Stones," the Song Family Elder said slowly, holding up a Formation diagram.

"It's starting to get upscale," Ye Yisong said to Boss Ye as he watched the Song Family Elder below.

From this treasure of the Song Family Elder onwards, the treasures brought out by those who followed were no lower than the Tier 4 Medium Grade level.

Until the Zhao Family brought out a Tier 4 High Grade barrier-breaking pill, pushing the exchange meeting to another climax.
