213: Chapter 213 The Zhao Family's Purpose

"The Zhao Family is certainly generous, even bringing out High Grade barrier-breaking pills for trade," Ye Yisong narrowed his eyes and said indifferently.

Tier 4 barrier-breaking pills are divided into four categories: Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Supreme Grade. A Low Grade barrier-breaking pill can increase a Martial Master's success rate in breaking through to become a Martial Ancestor by ten percent, a Medium Grade by twenty percent, and a High Grade by thirty percent.

As for Supreme Grade Medicinal Pills, they can increase the success rate by fifty percent, but Supreme Grade Medicinal Pills are rare and hard to come by; some Alchemists cannot refine even one Supreme Grade Medicinal Pill in their entire lifetime.

"Thirteenth Young Master, this is good stuff, let's buy it," Boss Ye said excitedly.

"Old Uncle, how many Spirit Stones do you have left?" Ye Yisong asked softly.

"Uh, I only have a little over fifty thousand Spirit Stones," Boss Ye said awkwardly.

"..."

Ye Yisong's face darkened; so you were counting on me to pay!

"It is good stuff, but I don't have enough Spirit Stones either," Ye Yisong politely refused.

There were not many Tier 4 Talismans left for this month; Ye Yisong only had fourteen in his hand. Including the Tier 4 Talismans kept for self-defense, taking down a High Grade barrier-breaking pill would be an easy task.

But it was better not to use them easily. There are as many smart people in the world as there are hairs on an ox, and every Talisman Ye Yisong refined was being calculated by interested parties; enough had already been exposed.

"Five hundred thousand Spirit Stones," the old man in hemp clothing who had previously sold the Spirit Beast pills was the first to bid.

The old man in hemp clothing was surnamed Wu, the Clan Chief of a Martial Ancestor Family in a small county under Linhai Prefecture. There were only two Martial Ancestor powerhouses in his clan, and both had come to Taoyuan Mountain for this exchange meeting.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones."

A wrinkled old woman directly raised the price by fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

"Six hundred thousand."

To avoid others competing with him, the old man in hemp clothing raised the price by another fifty thousand.

"The Song Family bids seven hundred thousand; I hope all Fellow Daoists will give us some face."

An Elder of the Song Family opened the room's window and cupped his hands to those around.

"Sev..." The slightly younger Martial Artist beside the old man in hemp clothing still wanted to bid, but before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by the old man's hand.

"Apologies, the youngster is ignorant, I hope you can forgive him."

"Let this be the only time."

Ding Shangyan snorted coldly, setting the tone for this matter.

"Many thanks, Elder Ding."

The old man in hemp clothing quickly bowed and thanked him.

"Are there still hot-headed youths these days?" Ye Yisong looked down with interest at the young Martial Artist whose face was sprayed with saliva by the old man in hemp clothing.

"Seeing that he can Cultivate to the Martial Ancestor realm at his age, his martial arts talent is not low; he just needs more tempering," Boss Ye commented.

"Indeed."

Ye Yisong couldn't help but think of his previous life, when he had just graduated from school and was green in his ways, having suffered quite a few losses.

Back then, the losses he suffered were nothing more than doing more work or losing a bit of face.

It was different here; if things went wrong, it could mean a catastrophic disaster.

"Uncle Ji, should we break that kid's leg to teach him a lesson? Who does he think he is, daring to compete with our Song Family?" Song Wanhe glared at Wu Xiao, who was standing beside the old man in hemp clothing, and said arrogantly.

"Wanhe, do not be impulsive; the Ding Family is not a place for you to act wildly," Song Yuanji reprimanded.

"Yes, Uncle Ji," Song Wanhe said unconvinced.

Song Yuanji witnessed this scene, wanting to speak but stopping himself; in the end, he remained silent, leaving only a soft sigh drifting in the air.

There had been no new Tier 4 Formation Master born in the Family for a long time. Once Uncle Yunyin passes away, the Family's financial balance will be broken.

At that time, the Family will be in danger!

The Family descendants were still so arrogant and overbearing, causing trouble for the Family for the sake of a momentary dispute.

Small families in the counties under Linhai Prefecture were one thing, but he feared that with their temperament, they would provoke an unstoppable enemy for the Family.

"The Zhao Family is desperate; the Zhao Family Old Ancestor is not lightly injured," Ye Yisong watched as the Zhao Family actually brought out another High Grade barrier-breaking pill. Even such strategic resources, the Zhao Family was willing to bring out two.

Was the Zhao Family already this poor?

Ye Yisong's initial indifference gradually turned into solemnity; the Ouyang Family had a good scheme.

They had forcibly dragged the Ye Family into the mud of Linhai Prefecture.

The Elders in the Family were blinded by those two Tier 4 Low Grade Puppets, thinking it was just a matter of refining a few Talismans, not realizing that they had unwittingly been dragged into the struggle between the Ouyang Family and the Zhao Family of Linhai Prefecture.

The only fortunate thing now was that the Ouyang Family had invited Ye Yisong to Linhai Prefecture, and the promise of the Ouyang Family Old Ancestor, Ouyang Ruifeng, ensured that the Ouyang Family would not backstab Ye Yisong halfway.

"Brother Xuansu, we are still two million Spirit Stones short."

Zhao Xuanbin said with a frown. Having sold three High Grade barrier-breaking pills in a row, they still hadn't gathered five million Spirit Stones; they wouldn't be able to report back to the Family.

He had thought that three High Grade barrier-breaking pills would be enough to gather five million Spirit Stones; even if it wasn't enough, the difference shouldn't have been too great.

He hadn't expected the damned Song Family and Ouyang Family to interfere. The first one sold for only seven hundred thousand, the second for only nine hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and only the third sold for a high price of 1.4 million Spirit Stones.

"Sell three more Medium Grade barrier-breaking pills; we must gather five million Spirit Stones."

Zhao Xuansu gritted his teeth and took two Medicinal Pills from his Storage Pouch to fill the gap.

This was the strict order given by Clan Chief Zhao Qiyuan before they set off: they must bring back five million Spirit Stones from this exchange meeting. There were already leads on the Tier 5 precious medicine to heal the Old Ancestor, but there was still a gap of ten million Spirit Stones.

Once he brought these Spirit Stones back to the Family, the Elders in the clan could scrape together the rest, which would be enough to deal with this crisis.

"Three Medium Grade barrier-breaking pills, each no less than seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Zhao Xuanbin looked in the direction of the Song Family and Ouyang Family with an unfriendly expression and said in a deep voice.

"They are desperate now, actually asking for seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones for one Medium Grade barrier-breaking pill," Ye Yisong looked at the livid Zhao Xuanbin, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Such treasures that could assist a Martial Artist in breaking through to the Martial Ancestor realm would indeed be more expensive than ordinary Tier 4 treasures.

But a High Grade barrier-breaking pill was only around five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

"Seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

The old man in hemp clothing raised his hand and accepted the first pill, not knowing if it was to make up for his junior's rashness earlier, or if his clan truly needed this precious pill.

Zhao Xuanbin's expression improved slightly; after receiving the Spirit Stones, he gave the best-looking pill to the old man in hemp clothing.

"Seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Following the old man in hemp clothing, an old man and a burly middle-aged man successively bid and bought the remaining two barrier-breaking pills.

Although the price of the Medium Grade barrier-breaking pill was high, it couldn't be helped due to its attractive effects.

Which Family didn't have one or two Nine-Star Martial Masters about to break through? With this pill, what if they did break through!

With one more Martial Ancestor Elder in the clan, they could better deal with the centennial beast tide five years later.
