Chapter 373: Shopping Again

Three days passed quietly…

Xiao Fan sat cross-legged in his room, while his Divine Soul entered the star chart to practice Alchemy.

During this time, Hu Rui and Nangong Lingxuan visited a few times, looking for Xiao Fan to ask if he wanted to go out together.

But they were all politely declined by Xiao Fan…

Nangong Lingxuan and Hu Rui felt helpless…

In the following days, the two of them left twice on their own.

Besides them, other Disciples from the Jixian Sect also went out alone.

They did not go out for leisure, but to meet the Elders within their Family.

The auction held by the Treasure Pavilion this time was a major event for the entire Wuhuang Province.

Apart from the four major Sects, some large Family powers and some hermits would also come to participate.

The Imperial City became increasingly lively, with more people now than when Xiao Fan and the others first arrived.

The people from the Piaomiao Immortal Palace and Ziyun Cave Heaven had also arrived.

They were arranged to stay in other inns under the Treasure Pavilion's influence.

The Treasure Pavilion did this naturally to avoid conflicts between the major Sects.

If it were normal times, they would love to see these major powers clash, but now that it was time for the Treasure Pavilion's auction, they naturally hoped for peace.

During these three days, Qiao Rong occasionally sent messages to Xiao Fan.

She informed him about the situation with other Sects, how many people had come, and how many Yuanhun Realm Elders were sitting in town.

Of course, she did not forget to remind Xiao Fan to pay attention to his own safety, and told him to remember to notify her if there was any danger.

She would have the experts from the Treasure Pavilion or even the Wuhuang Dynasty take action to protect him at critical moments.

Xiao Fan expressed his gratitude for this.

Time passed day by day, and two more days went by.

Xiao Fan had spent a full five days inside the star chart.

His mastery of the Azure Flame Art became more proficient, and his fire control became increasingly masterful.

However, his attainment in Alchemy could not reach the next level.

He could now easily refine 2nd Grade perfect Medicinal Pills.

But after trying to refine 3rd Grade Medicinal Pills many times, he could not succeed.

This made Xiao Fan quite discouraged, as he could not figure out the reason.

"Forget it… I will see when I return to the Jixian Sect. If it does not work, I will go ask Jiang Yushan and Kong Ping for advice."

Xiao Fan felt that relying on his own comprehension, it would probably take a long time to reach the level of a 3rd Grade Alchemist.

He decided to consult Kong Ping after returning, to see if there was any difficulty in refining 3rd Grade Medicinal Pills, or if there was any process he did not understand.

"Is the Treasure Pavilion auction tomorrow?" Xiao Fan stood up. Although he had been in closed-door cultivation, he remembered the date very clearly.

Tomorrow was the Treasure Pavilion's auction, and he intended to relax today to keep himself in a Peak state at all times, to avoid any accidents.

He left his room and went to the rooms of Nangong Lingxuan and Hu Rui, respectively.

He called the two women, intending to go to the market to take a look.

After many days, with more and more people coming to the market, the number of people setting up stalls to sell things would surely increase.

He wanted to see if there were any rare antiques to buy.

The sudden surge in cultivation last time made Xiao Fan excited.

Nangong Lingxuan and Hu Rui were puzzled; why was Xiao Fan so interested in shopping?

However, the two did not say much and readily agreed.

One man and two women left the inn as a group once again.

And they did not know that after Xiao Fan and the others left, a figure followed them secretly from the inn where they lived.

This person was Warrior Feng…

"Sigh, really not letting people worry." Warrior Feng let out a breath.

Elder Yin Su did not know about Xiao Fan possessing the Enlightenment Seed, and the Sect did not intend to let more people know.

And Elder Shi Pin was a woman, so the task of secretly protecting Xiao Fan could only be left to him.

In fact, when Xiao Fan secretly went out a few days ago, Warrior Feng had also been secretly following from a distance.

Including the fact that Xiao Fan entered the gambling den… he knew it all.

Although he did not know who Xiao Fan met in the gambling den, he could sense that Xiao Fan was unharmed.

Xiao Fan, Hu Rui, and Nangong Lingxuan went straight to the market.

At this time, the market was filled with people.

It was packed, a sea of people.

And there were many more stalls, with many new faces joining.

As the three of them entered, Xiao Fan noticed that there were many experts around. These people were dressed simply; if one did not pay attention, one might mistake them for ordinary people.

But Xiao Fan felt an aura exceeding the Xuandan Realm from these people…

He did not expect that even people at the Yuanhun Realm would come to this market.

"Medicinal Pills… 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, all available. Come and take a look…"

"Magical Artifacts, all kinds of Magical Artifacts, fair value!"

"Rare Talismans, Yellow Rank Cultivation Technique, come and take a look… This is a Cultivation Technique that can compare to Earth Rank!"

"…"

Shouts rang out all around.

Xiao Fan and the two women continued to move forward. This time it was much more tiring than the last.

There was no way around it; there were too many people, and it was a bit crowded.

Along the way, Xiao Fan kept communicating with Wanxiang in his mind, asking it to pay attention.

To see if there were any ancient objects around that could be absorbed.

But Wanxiang did not react at all.

This left Xiao Fan speechless…

In the crowded environment, neither Nangong Lingxuan nor Hu Rui looked very good.

When they were walking, they had to pay attention to their surroundings to prevent those male cultivators from touching them.

So they were even more tired than Xiao Fan.
