Chapter 1737: The Three Great Families of Sirius City

“Young man Ye, please follow me.”

Fu Haishan led Ye Bufan towards the auction house. At this moment, his attitude towards this Young man had changed significantly compared to before.

Being able to produce so many High Grade Medicinal Pills at once indicated that he had backing, at least a Master who was a high-level alchemist.

Additionally, there was Luo Yudie’s attitude towards Ye Bufan. In all these years, it was the first time he had seen the Pavilion Master value someone so highly.

With these two reasons combined, he naturally became more respectful, even genuinely wanting to befriend this Young man.

After all, any alchemist in Kunlun Continent was a highly sought-after individual. Since this Young man had an alchemist as his teacher, he would definitely become an alchemist in the future, and building a good relationship with such a person would certainly not be a bad thing.

“Young man Ye, this is the bidding paddle for the auction. Take it. If you see anything you like later, you can bid directly.”

As he spoke, Fu Haishan presented a small black wooden plaque to Ye Bufan, marked with the number 36.

“And this, Young man, you should take this too. It’s best to wear it later.”

After saying that, he handed over a ghost-face mask.

Ye Bufan took both items, put away the small wooden plaque, and looking at the ghost-face mask, asked in surprise, “Is this really necessary? Is it not safe to bid at your Jubao Pavilion?”

“Of course not. No one dares to cause trouble at our Jubao Pavilion.”

Fu Haishan spoke with full confidence. Jubao Pavilion was an existence that no one dared to provoke in the entire Kunlun Continent.

“In Kunlun Continent, strength is revered, and all kinds of people come to participate in auctions. If you see something you like later, Young man, it’s inevitable that you’ll bid against others.

If you withdraw, that’s fine, but if you ultimately acquire something someone else wanted, you’ll likely make an enemy.

They wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on you within Jubao Pavilion, but once you leave here, you’ll lose our protection. At that point, you might encounter trouble, so it’s better to wear this.”

Ye Bufan nodded. What the other party said did make some sense. Moreover, he would be staying at Taiping Medical Center for a while, and he didn't want to bring trouble to the Su Family father and daughter.

Thinking of this, he directly put on the ghost-face mask, concealing his true appearance.

Fu Haishan added, “Young man Ye, even with the mask, there are still some forces in Tianlang City that you cannot provoke.”

Ye Bufan asked with interest, “I’m new here and haven’t been long. I’ll have to trouble Steward Fu to tell me about the powerful forces in Tianlang City.”

Fu Haishan, wanting to befriend him, patiently began to explain.

“There are six major forces in Tianlang City. Officially, there’s the City Lord’s Mansion, the Assassin's Guild, and our Jubao Pavilion.

But these three major forces all have their own principles and generally don’t get into conflicts with people, unless someone actively provokes us.”

Ye Bufan nodded. He was clear about these three. He continued to listen as the other party spoke about the remaining three.

Fu Haishan continued, “Besides our three, there are also three major Families in Tianlang City: the Shang Family, the He Family, and the Fang family.

These three major Families have deep foundations and countless experts. Although they can’t compare to our Jubao Pavilion and the Assassin's Guild, they are definitely not to be provoked by ordinary people.

So, Young man Ye, when you’re bidding later, if you encounter disciples from these three Families, it’s best to back down directly, otherwise, you could easily bring trouble upon yourself.

It’s the same old saying: they won’t dare to do anything to you in our Jubao Pavilion, but once you leave here, they will definitely retaliate.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Steward Fu. I understand.”

Ye Bufan agreed verbally, but inwardly he was unconcerned. As long as there was a treasure he wanted, no matter who the other party was, he would get it first.

Anyway, he now had the particle gun as a trump card. As long as no Void Refining Stage strong cultivators appeared, he would be fine.

But from his current observation, in a small place like Tianlang City, it seemed that no Void Refining Stage strong cultivators had appeared yet. Nascent Soul Stage was already considered an expert.

“Young man, take this and see if there’s anything you like, so you can prepare in advance.”

Fu Haishan said, handing over a sheepskin scroll. Ye Bufan took it and glanced at it. It was very similar to a promotional poster on Earth.

It detailed the items to be auctioned today, including their type, efficacy, and brand price.

“The auction hall is just ahead, Young man Ye. You can go by yourself. I still have things to attend to.”

Jubao Pavilion also had its principles. As a steward here, Fu Haishan was not suitable for getting too close to guests, so he parted ways with Ye Bufan at the entrance.

Ye Bufan nodded, then stepped forward. The guards at the entrance, seeing the purple-gold jade token he showed, immediately changed their expressions and respectfully led him into the auction hall.

As

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

the largest commercial institution in all of Tianlang City, Jubao Pavilion’s auction hall was quite luxurious, with thick carpets on the floor and golden decorations all around.

Bright lamps, enhanced by Formations, hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

The seats here corresponded to the auction numbers. He was led by a guard to his seat, number 36, and sat down.

After the guard left, there was still a little time before the auction began, so he picked up the sheepskin scroll Fu Haishan had given him and began to read it.

The first item for auction was a saber named Blazing Sun, a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, with a starting bid of 10 million gold coins.

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. A Low Grade Spiritual Artifact had a starting bid of so much money; it would probably cost at least 100 million gold coins to acquire it in the end.

Considering this, how much would his Divine Artifact Dragon Fang be worth? It was probably immeasurable.

But this also served as a reminder to him: in this world where the strong prey on the weak, he still needed to be careful at all times and not easily reveal the Dragon Fang to others.

Otherwise, he could easily be targeted by those with ill intentions, and once powerful cultivators were drawn in, his troubles would be immense.

He then looked further down. The second item for auction was a scroll of an Earth Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique, named Vast Righteous Qi Art. This item was even more exaggerated than the saber, with a starting bid of 20 million.

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. This item was completely useless to him and had no value at all.

Continuing to look down, the next few items still failed to pique his interest.

When he saw the sixth item for auction, his heart stirred. It was a body-protecting Spiritual Armor, with a starting bid of 10 million gold coins. Although its grade wasn’t high, it could withstand three attacks from a Soul Transformation Stage strong cultivator.

If he were at his peak, he naturally wouldn’t care about this item, but his current cultivation was simply too low, only at the Middle Stage Golden Core. Having such a body-protecting Spiritual Armor could save his life at a crucial moment.

He decided he wanted this item, and with that thought, he continued to look down.

When he saw the eighth item for auction, his eyes widened instantly. Nine-Leaf Profound Ice Grass—this was definitely a rare Spirit Medicine.

Although it was useless to him at the moment, once he recovered his cultivation and reached the Void Refining Stage, he would need it if he wanted to continue to Breakthrough.

Spirit Medicine was always something that was hard to come by. If he missed it this time, he might not have such luck again in the future, so he had to get it no matter what.
