they taste great."As they spoke, Maguire brought the prepared wine to Ye Bufan and his two companions. The liquid in the cups was a bright red, like blood."Three distinguished guests, this drink is ca...Xiaoqing said: "I absorbed most of it, but there's still some left. It should be enough for me to level up again."

"And the dragon soul herb's effects can still last for a while, allowing me to absorb them faster."

Ye Bufan was a little surprised. According to their previous guesses, absorbing all the Dragon Souls could allow Xiaoqing to reach the tenth-order Immortal Demon Beast, but now there were still leftovers, which showed how powerful the Dragon Souls they had encountered before were.

Of course, the three sprigs of Dragon Soul Grass I just consumed also played a vital role. Combined together, their effects are doubled.

"Not bad, keep up the good work."

Ye Bufan encouraged her with a word and then sent the little girl out of Longwang Hall, bringing in Situ Dianmo.

Now, there are only a few people qualified to enter the Yuangu Secret Realm. The weakest among them is Situ Dianmo, who is at the late stage of Immortal Jun.

You must seize the time to consolidate your cultivation and take the Blood Lotus Pill again before the secret realm opens. Be sure to reach the peak of the Immortal King stage.

After all, in an unknown world, one more point of strength means one more chance.

For a while, he continuously helped Si Tu Dian Mo consolidate his cultivation through the dual cultivation technique, preparing him for the consumption of the Blood Lotus Pill later on.

Cultivation time passed quickly, and by the next evening, Ye Bufan and the other left the Dragon King Hall. He went alone to the Zhexing Building.

He arrived a little late, and when he entered the auction hall, the hundred-seat hall was nearly full.

Seeing an empty spot in the distance, he walked over to it.

"Boy, it's you!"

Before he could even sit down, a voice filled with hatred rang out from the left.

Ye Bufan turned his head and saw a playful smile on the corner of his mouth. Sitting next to him was Jian Jueya, the sword master of the Four Directions Sword Sect.

This guy was severely injured by Xuanyuan Linglong in yesterday's ring match. He is still pale and weak, obviously his injuries have not fully recovered.

He was originally full of confidence, but after a crushing defeat, his heart was filled with hatred.

Unable to find Xuanyuan Linglong for revenge, he suddenly saw Ye Bufan and immediately vented all his hatred onto him.

"What are you doing here, kid"

At this time, another venomous voice came from the right. Ye Bufan turned his head and looked, it was really interesting. On the right was Wei Youzhang of the Wei family.

Like Jianjue Cliff, he was also defeated by the hands of Lingyun Sword Sect. He didn't even block Jin Meier's move and his internal injuries haven't fully recovered to this day.

As there were no more competitions to come, Elder Wei Changsong allowed him to represent the sect here and participate in today's auction to comfort his feelings.

As for yesterday, when Ye Bufan came to the door, he was tending to his injuries and was unaware of or did not see him.

The more secretive this kind of private transaction is, the better. Wei Changsong naturally wouldn't tell him about it either.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "What am I here for Of course, I'm here to attend the auction."

"Don't even dream about it, with this girl around, I guarantee you won't get a single shot here today."

Another voice sounded from behind him. He turned around to see Hua Luying, the defeated underling of Leng Qingqiu, from the Shadow Sword School.

This made Ye Bufan couldn't help but laugh, as the saying goes, "Enemies meet on narrow roads," this is really the case. He was actually surrounded by three enemies.

Jian Jueya followed up and said, "That's right, with us here, you're making a wasted trip today. You won't get anything."

This is the base of Zixinglou, they don't have the courage to make a move, but they are full of resentment. They can only vent their anger this way.

In their eyes, Lingyun Sword Sect was ultimately just a small sect. In terms of financial resources, it couldn't compare to them at all.

Moreover, all three of them represented their respective sects this time, and the fairy crystals inside the rings were truly quite abundant.

Leave them with nothing, empty-handed, becoming a target for their frustration.

Ye Bufan, however, was not concerned at all, and smiled slightly: “Well then, make sure you have the ability to do so.”

After speaking, he didn't change seats and sat down directly between the three of them, unfazed by the three hostile gazes.

The auction officially began soon after, this one with a high level of importance. Chief Steward Miao Jiuxin presided over the event personally, with a middle-aged beautiful woman serving as the auctioneer on stage.

Ladies and gentlemen, we now present the first item for auction today: a mid-grade fairy sword.

After some simple pleasantries, the auctioneer officially got to the point, waving his hand. Soon a waiter brought a celestial sword onto the auction stage.

"This is no ordinary mid-grade immortal sword; it was forged by the master artisan Ou Ye Ping..."

After a flurry of flowery descriptions, the auction began.

The starting price is 10 million medium-grade fairy crystals, and each bid must increase by at least one million!

"I bid one million and one hundred thousand!"

...Two million...

As soon as the auction began, everyone around raised their good cards.

Jian Jueya, Wei Youzhang, and Hua Luying sat there with hawk-like eyes, staring intently at Ye Bufan. They weren't looking at the auction platform but at him, their gazes full of provocation.

"What are you looking at Are you too scared to bid just because you're watching me"

Ye Bufan was a refiner himself, and with treasures like Longya and An Yue Wu Sheng, how could he possibly be interested in a mid-grade immortal artifact.

But encountering these three dimwitted sons of the landlord, it would be a disservice to the spirit crystals in their pockets if we didn't cooperate.

"I'll offer one million five hundred thousand."

He struck a pose of absolute confidence, and to onlookers, it seemed his purpose this time was very likely the immortal sword.

"Sixteen million."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Jueya raised his sign.

He originally had high hopes for this Hundred Schools Tournament, but he was eliminated so quickly.

It's nothing to lose to the genius disciples of the three major sects, but to lose to a little-known sect like Lingyun Sword Sect, this made him feel incredibly frustrated and angry.

Now, the only way to truly humiliate Ye Bufan and get some satisfaction is to do this.

The most crucial point is that this time, I'm representing the sect at the auction. After all, even the Three Sects and Five Factions need to constantly increase their cultivation resources.

Therefore, with many Xian Crystals in hand, it would be easy to take advantage of the situation and suppress the other party.

Many in attendance knew Jian Jueya and that he was from the Si Fang Sword Sect, so many lowered their flags and retreated upon seeing his action.

"Twenty million!"

Ye Bufan provocatively raised the sign in his hand, since the other party wanted to show off, then he would fulfill them, but this immortal crystal was definitely not going to be spared.

"25 million!"

Jian Jue Ya directly increased the price by five million, causing an uproar among those present.

Normally, even if this was a middle-grade fairy sword and even if it was the work of the master refiner Ou Ye Ping, the price would be at most 20 million. Any more, and you'd be losing money.

"Thirty million."

Ye Bufan glanced at Jian Jueya, with a provocative meaning.

Three and a half million.

Jian Jueya added another five million, but after shouting it out, his mind calmed down considerably.

The former Elder Jian Feiyang had taken a liking to this sword, and would have taken it back if the price was right.

That's why he was the first to bid, wanting both to acquire this divine sword and to humiliate Ye Bufan. He never expected his opponent to be so relentless, though.

Now that prices have risen to this level, he is caught between a rock and a hard place.

If you continue to bid, the price is far beyond the intrinsic value of Xianjian.

If you back down now, after all those harsh words you just said, where will you put your face

I hope this is the end of the bidding and that you won't raise the price any further.

As it turned out, he had overthought things. Ye Bufan didn't hesitate at all and raised his sign once more.

"Four hundred and fifty million!"ompetition quickly resumed, and Ye Bufan, leading the students of Shuimu University, walked onto the arena together.Before the tournament started, this team was the most overlooked, with people thinki...
