Boom!

Kong Yulong from the Kong Family was the first to make a move.

At this moment, there wasn't a Golden Core Clan that a Purple Mansion Clan could talk down to. Xu Chunlin was also a seasoned Purple Mansion Cultivator, and if age was considered, Kong Yulong was still a few decades younger.

The first of the three Golden Thunder Spears shot out directly.

The golden thunder light, accompanied by a roar, arrived almost in an instant.

Ye Jingcheng, standing nearby, found it difficult to see the shadow of this magical treasure in flight.

In an instant, Ye Jingcheng was extremely frightened. Previously, he thought he could withstand at least two moves in front of a Purple Mansion Cultivator with so many Spirit Beasts at his disposal.

It now seemed that if the opponent used a magical treasure, he couldn't withstand even one move.

Yet it should be noted that his Divine Sense was also very close to a Tier Three Purple Mansion Divine Sense.

As seriousness filled Ye Jingcheng's eyes, Xu Chunlin also cast a spell, and the cyan-colored Cyan Light Sword immediately shone brilliantly as it slashed out.

This Cyan Light Sword had a hint of the Taiyi Sect's Taiyi Sword Edge's Cyan Yuan Sword Embryo, releasing a formidable sword aura, a clearly impressive Sword Dao Secret Technique.

But ultimately, it wasn't a sword embryo and was directly knocked away by a spear.

The sword aura shattered, revealing the Cyan Light Sword inside.

The dominance of the Thunder Attribute Magical Treasure was also evident.

Xu Chunlin repeatedly released the Flying Binding Rope, trying to entrap Kong Yulong.

But how could Kong Yulong not guard against Xu Chunlin, and moreover, Xu Chunlin's Lifebound Magical Treasure wasn't a secret, having been studied long ago.

As the rope, like a spirit snake, reached in front of Kong Yulong, he activated a Spirit Talisman, which, upon flying out, instantly turned into profound coldness and froze the rope.

Even though it was only frozen for a moment, Kong Yulong's body had already flown far away under Xu Chunlin's extremely wary gaze.

The Flying Binding Rope tried to catch Kong Yulong again, but it only fell short in vain.

At this moment, Kong Yulong's second and third spears flew out simultaneously.

Xu Chunlin's pupils contracted instantly.

He wanted to dodge, but in his eyes, the two thunder spears moved erratically, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

"This!" Xu Chunlin was shocked and hurriedly activated a secret technique.

The Cyan Light Sword Magical Treasure directly split into three, becoming three sword auras.

Boom!

The thunder spear that struck first shattered into countless pieces upon hitting the sword auras.

This scene took everyone by surprise.

The shattered pieces swiftly released a terrifying golden spiritual light, transforming into a Thunder Net that almost locked every escape route for Xu Chunlin.

The terrifying thunder light shattered layer upon layer of the spiritual shield Xu Chunlin activated, leaving the Cyan Light Sword and Flying Binding Rope helpless.

Unless the golden spear and Thunder Net could be broken, there was no solution!

In that instant, the remaining third spear arrived.

Just as it was about to pierce Xu Chunlin's forehead, Xu Chunlin's body suddenly emitted golden scale armor.

The Thunder Spear was blocked.

"Golden Flood Dragon Armor, what a treasure!" Kong Yulong's eyes instantly flashed with a hint of delight.

"I surrender!" Yet Xu Chunlin immediately admitted defeat.

This scene also made Kong Yulong frown. He wanted to continue but saw Qianhe Ascendant approaching in the distance.

He immediately had the answer in his heart.

He could only sigh and reluctantly say:

"I concede!"

"Then Qing Liu Kong Family takes two-tenths of Taihang Market's profits!" Although Qianhe Ascendant was unwilling, there was no other option at this moment.

They could only blame themselves for betting on the wrong horse.

"Next, it's the Ye Family and the Jin Family!" Kong Yulong put away the three Golden Thunder Spears and looked at Jin Zongliang and Ye Haicheng.

To be honest, they were very familiar with Xu Chunlin.

But they didn't know much about Ye Haicheng, so between the two, they were more interested in him.

Moreover, he was a new Purple Mansion Body Cultivator.

This competition was also a chance to test the Ye Family's strength.

Ye Haicheng entered the valley, and Ye Jingcheng began to feel somewhat nervous.

The Kong Family in the Four Skills of Cultivation clearly leaned more towards restaurants and alchemy.

And the Jin Family focused more on artifact refining and spirit medicine cultivation.

Perhaps Jin Zongliang's magical treasures were even more formidable.

Though it was just a friendly match, if the opponent had a chance, they wouldn't hold back.

Just like Xu Chunlin moments ago—without the Golden Flood Dragon Armor, he might have been impaled on the spot.

A complete corpse might not even remain.

"Jin Daoist, please?" Ye Haicheng and Jin Zongliang were much more polite.

After all, they had cooperated earlier, and currently, their two families weren't at odds, unlike the Xu and Kong families, which were nearly at each other's throats.

"Please!" Jin Zongliang replied courteously.

Ye Haicheng's body adorned a cloak, in addition to a Small Seal.

Jin Zongliang kept things simple, wielding a Flying Sword Magical Treasure.

Likewise, Jin Zongliang didn't speak any words of courtesy.

As Purple Mansion Cultivators, everyone understood—there was no room for humility.

If even a minute gap existed, life and death could be decided.

Ye Haicheng charged out first. As a Body Cultivator, his full-speed charge was incredibly intimidating.

Especially with the cloak behind him, it was evidently a Wind Attribute Magical Treasure.

Jin Zongliang also raised his hand; this time, it was the true Cyan Yuan Sword Light, splitting into two, then four, then eight.

Both real and illusory.

Each Sword Light was incredibly dense.

Boom!

A massive Spiritual Light Turtle Claw gathered on Ye Haicheng's fist.

With one strike, several Sword Lights were shattered.

And immediately, the true Magical Treasure Flying Sword slashed out.

With a clang, the Turtle Claw formed by the Spiritual Light shattered instantly.

Ye Haicheng's body flew backward.

"This is a Broadsword, with more force!" Jin Zongliang explained casually, with a laid-back expression.

Only Ye Jingcheng was extremely tense, as he felt Ye Haicheng had just used Spiritual Power from the Beast Communication Pattern.

But he felt it was unlikely, as Ye Haicheng's Spirit Beast was the Turtle Ancestor, which he was already aware of.

However, if it were the Turtle Ancestor's Spiritual Body Secret Technique, its power would be much more than this.

After all, the Turtle Ancestor was a Tai Cang Turtle, with an extremely high bloodline.

Regarding the Spiritual Body Secret Technique, Ye Jingcheng had also tried it, having the Demon Beast Golden Scale Beast enter his body, forming scale armor on his body surface, but its power, in his view, was not all that strong.

He himself was not good at Body Cultivation, and in close combat, it felt more like delivering his own face to the opponent.

That would truly delight the opponent.

On the battlefield, as Ye Jingcheng pondered, Ye Haicheng charged in once more.

There seemed to be a Secret Technique stride in his steps, elusive like smoke, yet cutting through the wind.

The Spiritual Light in his hand transformed into the saber-tooth of the Saber-toothed Tiger and the Fire Claw of the Flame Lion!

Ye Haicheng's Spirit Root was indeed the Three Spirit Roots: Fire, Gold, and Earth, yet Jin Zongliang could still handle them with ease.

His Cyan Yuan Sword Light Secret Technique had evidently reached Great Success, leaving no gaps.

The Sword Light could transform not only into eight, but into sixteen.

The Magical Treasure Flying Sword was also his Lifebound Flying Sword Treasure, reaching Tier Three Middle Grade.

"Go!" Finally, Ye Haicheng found an opportunity; the cloak behind him transformed into beast wings and spread wide.

The speed doubled again, almost sticking to the Sword Light, crashing towards Jin Zongliang.

But Jin Zongliang recast his spell, finally releasing a second Magical Treasure.

It was a set of Three Copper Rings, three rings clashing together, soul-shaking.

The three rings appeared and could head directly to smash Ye Haicheng.

Ye Haicheng was hit in the chest by the suddenly appearing Three Copper Rings Magical Treasure.

At the same time, Ye Haicheng threw out a Small Seal.

This Small Seal was not unfamiliar to Ye Jingcheng; it was the Profound Cold Seal Magical Treasure.

His Talisman Treasure was also the Profound Cold Seal.

But this Profound Cold Seal Magical Treasure was far more powerful than his Profound Cold Seal Talisman Treasure.

The thundering roar and the speed of freezing all highlighted its terrifying Spiritual Might.

Jin Zongliang's face finally changed greatly.

He clapped his hands together, and suddenly, his body started to split from one into two, from two into four, finally dispersing to narrowly escape the Profound Cold Seal's smash.

At the same time, the Three Copper Rings also entrapped Ye Haicheng.

"I surrender!" Ye Haicheng said.

Hearing this, others couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat.

At that moment, they really feared the Ye Family would suddenly win.

Even the Kong Family thought so.

If they were to annex the Xu Family, they inevitably needed the Jin Family to share the pressure.

If the Ye Family still held twenty percent of the Taihang Market's profit, it would be detrimental to their control over the market in the future.

If they couldn't control the market, their control over Taihang Commandery would be a joke.

Once out of the Copper Rings, Ye Haicheng took out several Spirit Pills and started taking them.

It seemed that just now he had consumed a lot of Spiritual Light, his face turning somewhat pale.

He even groaned, as if he had really been hit by the Three Copper Rings, with internal injuries spilling out.

After all, the vibrating power was quite strong.

"Today, in Taihang Market, the Jin Family and Kong Family each hold twenty percent, the Xu Family and Ye Family each occupy three-tenths of the remaining two-tenths, and the Chu Family and Chen Family each take two-tenths of the remaining two-tenths," announced Jiang Jinghe.

Of course, Jiang Jinghe confirmed with the four Ascendants from the Taiyi Sect.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to announce, especially since the Chu Family was also a Purple Mansion Clan.

Now they had fallen to the same level as the Chen Family.

However, everyone knew the Chen Family ceased being the Chen Family long ago; now they were merely puppets of the Jin Family.

The remaining profits actually fell into the hands of the Jin Family.

At this moment, naturally, no one would stand up to expose them.

Beside him, Ye Jingcheng's expression also looked bad upon seeing this scene. From today, the Ye Family's share of market profits was only six percent, similar to when the Taihang Market once had six families.

Back then, the Ye Family was just a Foundation Establishment Clan.

This also represented that the Ye Family had to give up many rented-out shops, with auction revenues greatly reduced as well.

If the Ye Family did not have the proceeds from the Taichang Market, they would face financial difficulties once more.

As Patriarch, he was fully aware that the Ye Family's major expenses could not be cut.

"Well, everyone, prepare for tomorrow's auction!" Jiang Jinghe stepped in to ease the atmosphere.

After all, the Taiyi Sect's share remained at forty percent unchanged, and with the Jin and Kong Families bringing out many treasures for the auction.

The Taiyi Sect's share would even increase.

Hence, Jiang Jinghe could garner more benefits from it.

If handled well, he might even have the chance to attempt entering the Purple Mansion.

"Brother Taihao, please join me at the restaurant for a drink!" Ye Haicheng, suppressing his injuries, invited Supreme Taihao.

"No, the issues at Jade Dragon Valley are still severe; there's no telling when a Beast Tide might erupt!" Supreme Taihao shook his head.

Currently, Taiyi Illusion Peak is responsible for guarding Jade Dragon Valley; previously, Master Tianfu could come because Master Tianfu was at Jade Dragon Valley.

"It is strange; typically, when Demon Beasts suffer losses, they retreat!" Supreme Taihao sighed afterwards.

For lone Demon Beasts, Cultivators are naturally thrilled.

But encountering mountain clusters of Demon Beasts leaves Supreme Taihao uninterested.

After all, not only were benefits unattainable, but there was also the risk of injury or even death.

"Does the Sect have any strategy recently? Should we attack, given the heavy losses of Demon Beasts at Chixia Ridge?" Ye Haicheng asked.

This time, Supreme Taihao merely shook his head, without responding.

The members of the Ye Family could only watch as Supreme Taihao departed.

They didn't return to the family until he vanished at the horizon's end.

Back at the family, Ye Jingcheng also took out two Jade Talismans to study.

As someone who liked to research and summarize, these experiences of Purple Mansion Cultivator Magical Combat were invaluable to Ye Jingcheng.

Whether it's the shifting form of the Thunder Spear into a Thunder Net,

or Ye Haicheng's reserved speed, Jin Zongliang's cunning body technique, and swordsmanship.

All were worth Ye Jingcheng's careful study, in case he encounters similar ones someday.

Moreover, Ye Jingcheng had to work harder; Foundation Establishment Cultivators are indeed rarer than Qi Cultivators, but on the surface, Foundation Establishment Cultivators are still insignificant.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was also preparing to gather the Spirit Medicine for the Golden Falcon Pill.

Without mentioning others, he first needed to ensure he had Purple Mansion Combat Power!
