Chapter 3680 Tit for tat

Inside the room, Ye Bufan did not rest or Cultivate; instead, he again asked Gongsun Hong about the situation in Dile Heaven.

Time passed quickly. About an hour later, the Shopkeeper came into the room and invited the two to the sales floor.

Although Jubao Pavilion was only a branch here, there were still seven or eight sales floors of varying sizes.

The sales floor they arrived at today was not very large, about a hundred square meters, with only forty to fifty seats.

This was a small sales floor. Although it could not accommodate many people, its Rank was very high; ordinary Immortals were not qualified to participate in such an auction.

Ye Bufan and Gongsun Hong arrived early, and there were not many guests inside yet, so they chose two seats and sat down.

Then, the Young man sent over a Jade Slip, which contained a detailed introduction to the auction items for this auction, similar to an auction poster on Earth, and more Advanced than a sheepskin scroll.

Ye Bufan took it, and his Divine Sense swept inside, and the detailed introductions of the auction items appeared in his mind.

When he saw the first auction item, his heart stirred.

This was a black stone the size of a washbasin, with an irregular shape and a dull luster.

But Ye Bufan recognized what it was at a glance: this was Void Realm Iron Mother, an extremely precious Material for refining flying Magic Treasures.

In other words, with this item, his Nine Heavens could be upgraded again, and its speed would increase exponentially.

Sure enough, a detailed introduction appeared next to it, confirming it was Void Realm Iron Mother, with a starting bid of fifty thousand middle-grade celestial crystals.

“Good stuff. It seems I really have a connection with auctions.”

Ye Bufan was in a great mood. Looking back at the auctions he had participated in, he always had unexpected surprises.

This time was no different; having this Void Realm Iron Mother made the trip worthwhile.

Then he looked down. The second auction item was a long saber that was a Medium Grade Immortal Artifact. He was not interested in such an item.

The third, fourth, and fifth items, although all treasures, were not what he needed.

When he saw the sixth item, his eyes lit up. This was a somewhat worn-looking sheepskin scroll.

The content inside was not visible, but the cover had four ancient characters written on it: "Finger Wall into Steel."

Next to it was a detailed introduction: this was a Formation diagram, its Rank unknown, whose purpose was to quickly seal the surrounding space.

Under the enhancement of the Formation, the spatial strength could be increased a hundredfold, sealing all Space Magic Treasures.

The starting price for this treasure was ten thousand middle-grade celestial crystals.

After reading the introduction, Ye Bufan was overjoyed. This was simply a treasure sent to him by the heavens.

From the ancient aura of the sheepskin scroll, it was clear that the Rank of this item was definitely not low, at least a tenth-tier Formation.

The reason its starting price was so cheap was because its utility was too much of a chicken rib; for ordinary Immortals, it was simply useless.

Space Magic Treasures were extremely rare, and countless people had never seen one in their entire lives, so naturally, they did not need the assistance of such a Formation.

But for him now, it was completely different. The previous few times he fought with Donghua Immortal King, the opponent managed to escape. The most important reason was the inability to seal the Space Blade.

If he had this Finger Wall into Steel Formation, as long as he prepared in advance, Donghua Immortal King would have no chance to escape.

“I hit the jackpot, I really hit the jackpot!”

Ye Bufan was overjoyed in his heart, thinking, "Donghua Old Dog, just you wait. Next time, there's no way I'll let you escape again."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he continued to look down. The next few auction items were unremarkable.

The last, climactic auction item was the Heavenly Luo Vermillion Jade Fruit. This was a ninth-tier immortal spirit grass, the main Medicinal Plant for refining Heavenly Luo Medicinal Pills, which could help Great Luo Immortals improve their strength.

Its price was also the highest among all the auction items, with a starting bid of one hundred thousand middle-grade celestial crystals.

“This is also a good item; I must acquire it.”

Ye Bufan was currently at the Great Luo Immortal strength. He wanted to refine Medicinal Pills suitable for his own consumption, but unfortunately, the Medicinal Materials had not been fully gathered.

If he added this Heavenly Luo Vermillion Jade Fruit, he could at least refine a batch of Heavenly Luo Medicinal Pills.

Having seen enough, he tossed the Jade Slip to Gongsun Hong beside him.

Just then, a commotion came from the entrance, and immediately after, a Young man in a white robe walked in from outside.

He held a folding fan, had a somewhat handsome appearance, a hint of effeminate coldness in his eyes, and his strength had reached the Great Luo Immortal Middle Stage.

He was also accompanied by four retainers, each with strength above Great Supreme Immortal.

This demeanor and strength indicated that he was definitely from an extraordinary background.

Upon seeing the Young man, Gongsun Hong's expression changed slightly, and he whispered in Ye Bufan's ear, “Master, this person is Ling Jianfei, the Young Sect Master of Lingyun Sword Sect.”

“Oh!”

Ye Bufan nodded. After he taught Fifth Elder Ling Jianyi a lesson last time, Lingyun Sword Sect had not reacted at all until now.

He had been somewhat puzzled before, but now it seemed that the other party was probably preparing for the Hundred Sects Tournament.

As an Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master, Gongsun Hong had been active in the Middle Heaven Region for so many years and was well-versed in many matters.

He continued, “Although this person is not old, he is very cunning, insidious, and ruthless. Master, you still need to be careful not to fall into his trap.”

“Hmm, I understand.”

Ye Bufan nodded slightly.

After Ling Jianfei entered the sales floor, his gaze swept around. He only paused briefly on Ye Bufan before finding a seat not far away and sitting down.

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

Most of the people who came to participate in the auction here were powerhouses from Dile Heaven, and most of them were familiar with Ling Jianfei, coming forward to greet him and pay their respects.

After all, this was the Young Sect Master of Lingyun Sword Sect; his identity and status were there.

A moment later, another commotion sounded, and a Young man in a black robe walked in.

Unlike Ling Jianfei, this guy had his chin raised, nostrils flared, and a look of arrogance on his face.

“The Young Hall Master has arrived…”

“Greetings, Young Hall Master…”

The crowd, which had just quieted down, rushed forward again to greet him, their words quite fawning.

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

“The Four Great Sects in Dile Heaven qualified to compete for the Hundred Sects Tournament token are Lingyun Sword Sect, Flame God Hall, Ice Cloud Valley, and Black Tiger Gate.

This person in front of you is Huo Fenggu, the Young Hall Master of Flame God Hall.

His personality is completely different from Ling Jianfei's; he is extremely arrogant, overbearing, and ruthless.

Among these four factions, Flame God Hall and Lingyun Sword Sect have always been at odds, and their two future heirs are also old rivals who have never seen eye to eye.”

While the two were speaking, Huo Fenggu's gaze fell on Ling Jianfei. He was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

“I never thought you'd be here too, but since this Young Hall Master has arrived, you're destined to go home empty-handed today and get nothing.”

Ling Jianfei sneered, “Anyone can talk big. Let's see who's capable at the auction.”

Huo Fenggu let out another arrogant laugh, “Do you really think you can compare with this Young Hall Master? You'll be crying later.”

The two were at loggerheads, and just then, Miao Badou appeared on the auction stage in front.

“Alright, everyone, quiet down. Today's auction officially begins!”
