Chapter 3967: Hangu Fairy City

Ye Bufan was lost in thought, pondering his questions about One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones, and didn't speak for a long time.

Fox Xiao Xian couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Ye, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Ye Bufan said, "It's almost time. We still need to rush to Supreme Saint Heaven. You two are not suitable to show yourselves yet, so you'll have to bear with staying here for a while."

After greeting Fox Si Niang and the other, Ye Bufan led everyone outside. The Void Realm was quiet, as if nothing had happened.

Everyone stepped onto the Nine Heavens together and flew rapidly forward according to the map Jing Buyun had given them.

Since they hadn't found suitable Artifact Refining Materials, the current Nine Heavens was still only a High Grade flying Immortal Artifact, which was slower than Jing Buyun's top-grade flying Immortal Artifact from before.

They traveled all the way without encountering any trouble. Even so, they flew for ten full days before they saw a huge Immortal City in the distance.

According to the map, this was Cold Valley Immortal City, on the edge of the Upper Heaven Domain.

This meant that they had officially entered the Upper Heaven Domain, and they could feel the increasingly rich Immortal spirit Qi.

Ye Bufan did not fly directly through the city, but put away the Nine Heavens and led everyone directly towards the city gate.

Jing Buyun had introduced it to him earlier. Although this city was remote and not considered a major city in the Upper Heaven Domain, it had its own characteristics.

Because Cold Valley Immortal City faced the Void Realm, the first stop for those who went out for training and treasure hunting was here when they returned.

This was somewhat similar to Lieyuan City, but it accommodated more Immortals, had more abundant resources, and was of a higher Rank.

Many treasures that could not be found in Lieyuan City could be found here.

Because of this, there was a huge Void Market within the city, where you could search for treasures you wanted, or set up a stall to sell your own resources.

Since he was passing by, Ye Bufan wanted to go in and take a look, try his luck, and see if he could find any treasures he liked.

After all, he had many resource-consuming heavyweights around him, and Xuan Yuan Linglong and the others had already reached the Immortal Emperor Realm.

To refine suitable Medicinal Pills for them, more high-Rank immortal spirit grass were needed.

Cold Valley Immortal City was majestic, with nearly a hundred guards in front of its huge city gate. The entrance fee was also astonishingly high: ten thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals per person.

Ten thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals was definitely not a small sum for ordinary Immortals, but even so, Immortals entered and exited in an endless stream, indicating that the resources inside still held immense attraction.

Ye Bufan did not want to cause unnecessary trouble. He now held the one billion High Grade Immortal Crystals given by Jing Liankong, so there was no need to be stingy.

He directly threw over a Storage Ring, paid eighty thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals, and everyone received a token, along with a Jade Slip introducing the city rules, before entering Cold Valley Immortal City.

The city was extremely prosperous and orderly.

This was also the management model of Cold Valley Immortal City: on one hand, they collected entrance fees hand over fist, and on the other hand, they didn't just take money without doing anything; they wanted to create a reasonable and fair Void Market to attract more people.

Ye Bufan took the Jade Slip, swept it with his Divine Sense to understand the rules, then inquired about the direction and headed directly towards the Void Market.

Around the city, shops stood in abundance, bustling with activity, including various Medicinal Pill buildings, Artifacts refining pavilions, and even brothels, all fully equipped.

What he was looking for now were resources, so he ignored these and hurried along, quickly arriving at a huge square in the city center.

The management here was very relaxed, with no walls, allowing free entry and exit, much like a rural market on Earth.

It was bustling with people, some calling out to buy, others to sell, a sea of humanity.

Although Cold Valley Immortal City's fees were high, it was still very fair. Once inside, no further fees were charged, including for this bustling Void Market.

Ye Bufan and his group stepped inside. The entire Void Market was about ten thousand square feet in area, and countless Immortals gathered there.

Moreover, their strength was extremely formidable; the lowest cultivation Realm was that of an Immortal Lord-level powerhouse, and occasionally, Immortal Emperors would appear.

However, it was normal to think about it; those with low cultivation Realm would not dare to leave Cold Valley Immortal City and enter the Void Realm.

Only those with sufficiently strong power could enter and exit freely, and at the same time bring back treasures.

Because of this, Cold Valley Immortal City stipulated that the use of Divine Sense for exploration was prohibited within the city. After all, those here were strong, and arbitrary exploration could easily lead to conflict.

After entering the Void Market, Ye Bufan observed his surroundings. There were indeed many immortal spirit grass here, and they were of a high Rank; Rank ten, Rank eleven, and Rank twelve could all be seen.

The problem was that the people setting up stalls here mostly traded goods for goods, requiring the other party to have the immortal spirit grass they desired before exchanging, and rarely sold them for Immortal Crystals.

Occasionally, a few would agree to sell, but the prices were shockingly expensive and completely uneconomical.

Although Ye Bufan had one billion High Grade Immortal Crystals in his hand, he would need money for many other things in the future and did not want to buy immortal spirit grass at a high price.

He also had treasures in his hand, but he would not easily take them out for exchange once they were in his possession.

How to obtain more resources without spending money? After thinking about it, he quickly came up with an idea.

Many of these people who entered the Void Realm to hunt for resources had many natural treasures, but what they lacked were Immortal Pill Masters.

And he just happened to have extremely high Alchemy attainments. Setting up a furnace to refine Medicinal Pills here and directly earning the other party's Medicinal Materials would do. He had done this before.

Thinking of this, he immediately put it into action. He found an empty spot and immediately set up his stall.

He put up a sign that read: "Refining Immortal Pills of all Ranks, one furnace of Medicinal Pills for three sets of Medicinal Materials."

According to Ye Bufan's idea, this price was already very favorable among Immortal Pill Masters, and business should come quickly.

Things went pretty much as he expected. As soon as he set up his stall, a Big Beard Immortal Venerable came over.

He looked at the sign and then surveyed the people present, a bit confused, apparently unable to tell who was an Immortal Pill Master.

Finally, he asked directly, "Are you doing Alchemy here?"

"That's right."

Ye Bufan nodded, raised his hand, and pointed to his sign, "Three furnaces of Medicinal Materials for one furnace of Medicinal Pills. You are my first customer, so I'll give you a discount: two furnaces of Medicinal Materials will suffice."

The Big Beard showed no excitement upon hearing the discount; instead, he looked at him suspiciously.

"Are you doing the Alchemy, or is your master doing it?"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, "I am the Immortal Pill Master. I will be performing the Alchemy."

"You're an Immortal Pill Master?"

The Big Beard was clearly a bit skeptical. After all, this person in front of him was too young, and even if he was an Immortal Pill Master, his Rank wouldn't be too high.

And the immortal spirit grass he held were all high-Rank treasures, used to refine high-Rank Medicinal Pills, which not just anyone could refine.

"Then where's your badge? Let me see it."

"This…"

Ye Bufan hesitated. He hadn't gone to the Alchemist Guild yet, so how could he have a badge?

"I haven't had time to get this badge yet, but don't worry, my Alchemy attainments are definitely high enough. If I can't refine it, I'll compensate you immediately…"

He tried his best to explain, but before he could finish speaking, the Big Beard Immortal Venerable had already walked away. It was clear that the other party had already categorized him as a swindler and didn't believe him at all.
