1"The two security guards, who had initially looked serious, immediately broke into smiles upon hearing his inquiry about Villa No. 1. "Are you Mr. Ye Bufan" they asked cheerfully."That's right," Ye B...Inside the room, Ye Bufan did not rest or cultivate. Instead, he asked Gongsun Hong about the situation of Diletian once more.

Time passed quickly, after more than an hour, the young man came into the room and invited the two to the marketplace.

Although this is just a branch, the Ju Bao Ge here has seven or eight large and small stores.

The marketplace they arrived at today wasn't very large, about two or three hundred square meters, and there were only forty or fifty seats.

This is a small auction house, though it can only accommodate a limited number of people, the level is very high. Ordinary immortals don't even have the qualifications to participate in this kind of auction.

Ye Bufan and the other person arrived earlier, there weren't many guests inside yet. They chose two seats and sat down.

Then the young man presented another jade slip, which contained a detailed account of the auction items, akin to posters for an Earth auction but more sophisticated than parchment scrolls.

Ye Bufan took it over, his divine consciousness swept into it, and the detailed introduction of the auction item appeared in his mind.

At the sight of the first item up for auction, his heart skipped a beat.

This is a basin-sized black stone, irregularly shaped and dull in appearance.

But Ye Bufan recognized what it was at once. This was a void iron ore, an extremely precious material for refining flying magic treasures.

That means that with this thing, your own Nine Heavens will be able to upgrade again, and the speed will increase exponentially.

As expected, a detailed introduction followed, it was the Void Iron Mother, with a starting price of 50,000 mid-grade Immortal Crystals.

"Good stuff, seems like I'm really destined to have dealings with auctions."

Ye Bufan was in high spirits, looking back on the auctions he had attended. He always had pleasant surprises at each one.

This time, it's the same. With this piece of Void Iron Mother, it wasn't a wasted trip.

Then he looked down, the second item up for auction was a mid-grade fairy artifact long sword. He wasn't interested in this kind of thing.

The third item, the fourth item, the fifth item, these things although are treasures, they are not what he needs.

When he saw the sixth item, his eyes lit up. It was a rather worn-looking parchment scroll.

The cover features four archaic characters, Zhǐ bì chéng gāng. Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other Chinese text!

Beside it is a detailed introduction. This is a scroll of an array, its level unknown. Its function is to quickly seal off the surrounding space.

Under the blessing of the formation, the spatial intensity can be increased by a hundredfold, blocking all space artifacts.

The starting price for this artifact is 10,000 medium-grade Xianjing.

After reading the introduction, Ye Bufan was ecstatic. This was simply a treasure sent by heaven itself.

From the ancient aura emanating from the parchment, one could tell that this item was of a high rank, at least a tenth-order formation.

The reason the starting price is so cheap is because its use case is too niche. It's basically useless for ordinary immortals.

Space artifacts are extremely rare. Countless people have never seen one in their entire lives, so there is no need for such formations to aid them.

But for him now, it's vastly different. Several times before he fought with the Eastern Hua Immortal King, but was always escaped by the other party. The most important reason is that he couldn't seal the space blade.

If one possessed this Iron Wall Formation, as long as preparations were made in advance, the Eastern Hua Immortal King would have no chance of escape.

"I found it, I really did!"

Ye Bufan's heart blossomed with joy. He thought to himself, "Old dog Dong Hua, just wait for me! Next time, I will absolutely not let you escape."

Suppressing his excitement, he continued to look down. The next few lots were unremarkable.

The last and most impressive item up for auction is the Heavenly Net Jade Fruit. It's a ninth-order Immortal Spirit Herb, the main ingredient in the Heavenly Net Pill, which can help Great Luo Immortals improve their strength.

The price is also the highest among many lots, with a starting bid of 100,000 mid-grade fairy crystals.

"This is a good thing, gotta have it."

Ye Bufan is now a powerful cultivator at the Daluo Immortal level. He wants to refine pills suitable for his own use, but unfortunately, he hasn't been able to gather all the necessary medicinal ingredients.

If you add this Heavenly Luo Zhuyu fruit, at least one furnace of Heavenly Luo Pills can be refined.

When he was about done, he tossed the jade slip to Gongsun Hong beside him.

Just then, a commotion came from the door, followed by a young man in white robes walking in.

Holding a folding fan, he was somewhat handsome with a hint of feminine cunning in his eyes. His strength had reached the middle stage of Daluo Xian.

He was accompanied by four servants, each of whom possessed strength exceeding that of a Great Immortal.

This bearing and ability are definitely not from an ordinary background.

Upon seeing the young man, Gongsun Hong's expression shifted slightly. He whispered to Ye Bufan, "Master, this person is Ling Yun Jianzong's young Sect Master, Ling Jianfei."

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded. After last time's lesson to Elder Five, Ling Jianyi, Lingyun Jianzong had not reacted at all until now.

Previously, I had some doubts, but now it seems like the other party is preparing for a hundred-door contest.

Gongsun Hong, as an eighth-rank immortal alchemist, had spent many years in the Zhongtian domain and was familiar with many things.

He continued, "Though young, this person is cunning and vicious. Master must be careful not to fall prey to his schemes."

"Well, I understand."

Ye Bufan nodded slightly.

Ling Jianfei walked into the marketplace and cast his eyes around. He only paused briefly on Ye Bufan, then found a seat in the distance and sat down.

As time went on, and the start time drew closer, more and more people entered.

Those who came here to attend the auction were mostly powerful figures from the Tianle Heaven, and most of them knew Ling Jianfei well. They all stepped forward to pay their respects and greet him.

After all, he is the young master of the Lingyun Sword Sect. His status and position are undeniable.

A moment later, another commotion arose, and a young man in black robes walked in.

Unlike Ling Jianfei just now, this guy had his chin raised, his nose in the air, and a look of arrogance on his face.

"The Young Lord has arrived..."

"I've seen the Young Master..."

Having calmed down, the crowd once again flocked forward to greet them, their words dripping with flattery.

Ye Bufan was wondering who this was again, when Gongsun Hong's voice sounded in his ear.

The four sects qualified to compete for the North Gate hegemony token are Lingyun Sword Sect, Yan Shen Hall, Bingyun Valley, and Heihutumen.

The person before you is Huo Fenggu, the young master of the Yan Shen Temple.

He is completely different from Ling Jianfei just now. He is extremely arrogant, domineering, and cruel.

Of these four, the Flame God Temple and the Lingyun Sword Sect have always been at odds. Their future heirs are also old rivals, never seeing eye to eye.

As the two were talking, Huifenggu's gaze fell on Ling Jianfei. He was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"I never expected to see you here. But with the young master of this temple arriving, you are destined to leave empty-handed today, unable to take anything."

Ling Jianfei let out a cold smile: "Anyone can talk big. Let's see what you've got at the auction."

Huofenggu let out another arrogant laugh: "You dare to compare yourself with this young master I'll make you cry later."

The two locked eyes in a tense standoff, just as Miao Badou appeared on the auction stage ahead.

"Alright, everyone be quiet, today's auction is officially starting!" a chaotic spiritual treasure, it's still best not to use it if possible. Once something enters space, there might be some unforeseen changes, and it's far less stable than using a teleportation array...
