Chapter 3506 Black Market

One day later, as evening approached, Ye Bufan and his group arrived at Zixiao Immortal City.

The city was bustling with activity at this moment; although only a hundred tokens were issued, the impact was unprecedented.

Most people didn't have tokens, but that didn't stop them from coming to watch the excitement.

The Purple Firmament Immortal Pool was open to Immortals from all over Zixiao Heaven, a grand event truly unprecedented.

Because of this, the streets were filled with people coming and going, including Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and even Immortal Kings.

Upon arriving, the people from the Five Great Sects received special treatment, immediately being invited to a banquet at the East Flower Immortal King's Mansion.

Of course, only powerhouses above the Immortal King Rank were qualified to be invited; ordinary Disciples preparing to enter the Purple Firmament Immortal Pool did not receive such treatment.

Mu Yuntian brought Mu Lanzhi and others here, and once inside the Immortal City, there was no need to worry about further accidents.

He left the others at the inn and went to the East Flower Immortal King's Mansion for the banquet.

As soon as he left, Zhao Ya, lively and bouncing, came up to Mu Lanzhi: “Senior Sister, let’s go out for a stroll! It’s so boring staying here. Let’s see if there’s anything good to eat.”

At this, she sighed deeply: “Young Master Ye is truly awful; after eating his roasted meat, everything else tastes bland, but he’s not here right now.”

Mu Lanzhi had no choice but to deal with this little food connoisseur: “Who told you to be so greedy? Young Master Ye left you a lot of food before, but you ate it all in just a few days.”

“Can you blame me? His food was so delicious; once I started eating, I couldn’t stop.”

Zhao Ya said with a giggle, “Besides, I wasn’t the only one eating; didn’t you eat some too, Senior Sister?”

“This…”

Mu Lanzhi’s cheeks flushed. She originally didn’t have much desire for food, but the snacks Ye Bufan brought were truly delicious, and she couldn’t help but eat some.

“Two Junior Sisters, are you going out?”

As the two were chatting lively, three young Disciples walked over from the side.

These people were the most outstanding Disciples of the Tianyan Sect, all with Cultivation above Great Luo Immortal, and all over five hundred years old, which is why they addressed the two as Junior Sisters.

The one leading them was named Fan Kun, the true Senior Brother among them, with his Cultivation reaching the Great Luo Immortal (Late Stage).

Mu Yuntian brought him here this time to try and break through to Great Luo Immortal Peak, and if he was lucky, he might even step into the Immortal King realm.

Mu Lanzhi was already an extremely beautiful woman, and also the Sect Master’s daughter, so it was only natural for the few of them to show goodwill.

“Yes! Yes! We’re going out to find something delicious.”

Zhao Ya quickly agreed, pulling Mu Lanzhi’s hand and heading out.

Ye Bufan and his group also found a place to stay after arriving at Zixiao Immortal City.

After dinner, none of them needed to Cultivate, so they walked out of the inn, having nothing to do.

As an Earthling, whenever he arrived at a new place, Ye Bufan always liked to take in the scenery and experience the local customs.

They walked around and noticed that people in the city were constantly heading out. Later, they inquired and found out that there was a black market outside the west gate of Zixiao Immortal City.

It was similar to black markets in other places; if you sold Cultivation resources within the city, taxes would be levied, but here, it wasn't necessary.

At the same time, some people also sold illicit goods here, some of which could not be bought in regular commercial buildings but could be found here.

Because of this, the black market here was very popular after dark. A ten-mile radius of open space was densely packed with people, both sellers and buyers, making it exceptionally lively.

Ye Bufan was always interested in such things, so he took a few people and walked out.

Along the way, he saw countless vendors, big and small, by the roadside. As long as you were willing, you could find a spot anywhere to sell your goods.

Transactions here were always cash-on-delivery, with no guarantees. To avoid being swindled, one also needed a certain level of strength.

Because of this, many of these street vendors were highly skilled, with Great Supreme Immortals and Great Luo Immortals seen everywhere.

Ye Bufan bought ten Spiritual Plants and some rare Artifact Refining Materials, a modest harvest.

He had to thank the Xie family brothers for providing three Storage Rings, which contained a good amount of Immortal Crystals, somewhat replenishing the family fortune that Xuan Yuan Linglong had emptied.

After wandering for a while longer, his gaze fell upon a Spiritual Plant at a stall ahead.

The stall owner was a thin man whose Aura was not restrained at all, clearly having reached the Great Luo Immortal (Middle Stage).

In front of him were seven or eight Spiritual Plants, the highest Rank of which was the Sea Blue Fruit that Ye Bufan had noticed.

This item was a Rank seven Spiritual Plant, one of the main Medicinal Pills for refining the Supreme Origin Pill used by Great Supreme Immortals, and it could also assist in refining some higher-Rank Medicinal Pills, so it was of some value.

Ye Bufan observed it carefully and found that the quality of the Sea Blue Fruit was quite good. He stepped forward and asked, “How much for this Medicinal Plant?”

The little guy glanced at him, his voice cold: “One Rank six Medicinal Pill.”

Here, exchanges were made with Immortal Crystals, or by trading resources. Exchanging Medicinal Pills for Spiritual Plants was also a very common transaction method.

“I do have Rank six Medicinal Pills, but exchanging one for a Rank seven Spiritual Plant doesn’t seem very cost-effective.”

Ye Bufan said, flipping his wrist, and a small bottle appeared in his palm, containing a Rank six Medicinal Pill, the Spirit Treasure Pill.

This item was not refined by him personally, but rather from the many Storage Rings he had seized earlier. He didn't know whose Medicinal Pill it was, but its Rank was acceptable.

The little guy had thought he was just casually striking up a conversation, but when the other party actually produced the bargaining chip, his eyes lit up.

“Alright then, I’ll give you two Sea Blue Fruits.”

Although it was exchanging a Rank seven immortal spirit grass for a Rank six Medicinal Pill, Immortal Pill Masters were extremely scarce, so in this situation, he not only didn't lose out but even gained a little.

“Three!”

Ye Bufan said, extending three fingers, “Give me three Sea Blue Fruits, and this Medicinal Pill is yours.”

“Deal!”

The little guy, a Great Luo Immortal, didn't hesitate at all and immediately took out two more Sea Blue Fruits.

Just then, a loud shout suddenly came from nearby: “I’ll take these three fruits.”

As soon as the words fell, two middle-aged men walked over.

These two came from the Aojian Sect. The white-clothed man leading them was the Senior Brother, named Xu Banqing, with a Great Luo Immortal (Middle Stage) Cultivation.

The Black-Clothed Man following behind him was the Junior Brother, named Qin Nan, with Great Luo Immortal (Early Stage) strength.

The Aojian Sect had recently lost five Grand Elders in succession, weakening its strength, but it still obtained four tokens.

The two were Core Disciples who had gained entry to the Purple Firmament Immortal Pool, and both their strength and status were above Geng Junsheng’s.

At the same time, these two were also extremely arrogant, accustomed to acting domineeringly, relying on the Sect’s prestige.

The two arrived at the stall, looking at the three Sea Blue Fruits with joyful expressions.

Qin Nan said: “Senior Brother, it seems our luck is good this time. The Sect Master asked us to find Sea Blue Fruits, and we found three at once. This will definitely be a great merit when we return.”

“You’re right.”

Xu Banqing nodded, then domineeringly said, “I’ll take these Sea Blue Fruits.”

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Qing immediately became displeased. Someone actually dared to be so arrogant in front of him.

“You want what? Is there no first-come, first-served? Didn’t you see my big brother already claimed them?”
