Chapter 4239 Fallen Leaf City

Ye Bufan was preparing to return to Yunhai Sect. The journey was not too far; with his current strength, it would only take about a day.

The next assessment for the Holy Spirit Tournament was still about ten days away, so he was not in a hurry to travel, but rather proceeded leisurely.

He passed by some Spiritual Plants and large rivers, occasionally picking some chaotic spiritual crystals. After walking for most of the day, a city of moderate size appeared before him.

Where there are people, there are cities; this is no exception anywhere. He had seen them on his way here before, but at that time, he was in a hurry and did not enter.

Now that he had plenty of time, he might as well go in and have a look. Perhaps he could find some treasures; after all, he was quite wealthy now.

He descended from mid-air and arrived in front of the city. On the city gate were written the three large characters: Fallen Leaf City.

After paying an entrance fee of two chaotic sacred crystals, Ye Bufan entered the city. This city was not too large, but it was quite prosperous.

Shops lined both sides of the street, and some Cultivators had set up stalls on the roadside, selling cultivation resources they no longer needed.

Ye Bufan bought many chaotic spiritual crystals along the way, but their Rank was not high, only around first or second Rank.

According to the records of the Ancient Medical Sect's third Legacy, the Spiritual Plants of the Chaotic Saint Realm are divided into nine Ranks. Fallen Leaf City is located in a remote part of the First Chaotic Saint Realm, so it was normal for the Spiritual Plants to be of a lower Rank, but the prices were truly cheap.

Generally, a first-Rank chaotic spiritual crystal cost about one to two hundred chaotic sacred crystals, and a second-Rank one cost about three to four hundred.

Ye Bufan bought dozens of types in one go, and also some low-Rank Artifact Refining Materials. At this moment, he realized that he was definitely a rich man, not because things were too cheap, but because he was too wealthy.

It made sense when he thought about it. Ku Xuzi, that old man, had given him ten thousand chaotic sacred crystals, which were said to be enough to Cultivate to the Peak of the Yuandi Stage.

Man Hongxiu was the Second Elder of Purple Moon Mountain, but her entire fortune was only a few tens of thousands. It was clear that the purchasing power of chaotic sacred crystals was truly strong, at least in the First Chaotic Saint Realm.

But this had both pros and cons. Buying things didn't cost much, but he also couldn't find too many good treasures. Just as he was feeling bored, a sharp shout suddenly came over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction will begin in half an hour! There are all sorts of treasures up for auction here, don't miss out…" Hearing the words "auction," Ye Bufan's heart immediately stirred.

He looked up and saw a huge marketplace in the distance. In front of the door, a Shopkeeper-like Young man was energetically shouting.

He immediately walked over. After all, he had attended so many auctions, and each time he had gained something.

He did not hide his identity. After all, he currently had no reputation in this Chaotic Saint Realm, and no one recognized him.

Moreover, his current appearance was a disguise as Ye Tian, which he could change at any time.

"Young Master, do you want to participate in the auction?" The Shopkeeper seemed very clever and immediately greeted Ye Bufan when he saw him.

"Let me tell you, this marketplace belongs to the City Lord, and we are fair and just here. There will absolutely be no bullying of the weak by the strong. If you buy any treasure, we can guarantee your safe departure from Fallen Leaf City…" The Young man was a shrewd person, well-versed in the art of doing business. He knew exactly what guests attending auctions feared most, and in a few words, he explained the situation of the marketplace.

Ye Bufan said, "Are there any good things?"

"Of course there are! In a marketplace as large as ours, the one thing we don't lack is treasures. This is the auction list for a moment, please take a look." The young Shopkeeper said, handing over a Jade Slip. Ye Bufan's Divine Sense swept over it, and his eyes immediately lit up.

The items being auctioned inside were indeed much more Advanced than those outside, and several of them were exactly what he urgently needed at the moment. Most importantly, they were not expensive.

Although they were more expensive than the first and second Rank chaotic spiritual crystals he had just bought, they were nothing compared to the chaotic sacred crystals in his pocket now.

He said, "Take me in."

The young Shopkeeper smiled broadly: "Alright, Young Master, the entrance fee is five hundred chaotic sacred crystals." Ye Bufan then realized why there weren't too many customers in this marketplace. The entrance fee was indeed not cheap for ordinary people; five hundred chaotic sacred crystals could buy three second-Rank chaotic spiritual crystals.

He paid the money and was about to go in when the young Shopkeeper immediately said, "Young Master, do you need a companion? We have maids here who are very familiar with all the auction items and also very knowledgeable about Fallen Leaf City and the strong Cultivators nearby. You can ask anything you want. The fee is one hundred chaotic sacred crystals, absolutely worth the money."

"Okay, find me one." Ye Bufan possessed the third Legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect, so he naturally didn't need anyone to explain the auction items, but it was necessary to gather some information about Fallen Leaf City and the people participating in the auction.

Most importantly, it was cheap. One hundred chaotic sacred crystals was a drop in the bucket compared to his three hundred thousand plus.

As soon as he nodded, the young Shopkeeper immediately called over a maid with a delicate appearance, who led Ye Bufan into the marketplace.

The two chose a seat in the center and sat down. The maid stayed by his side and introduced all the auction items from beginning to end.

Ye Bufan was not very interested in these and began to learn about other situations in Fallen Leaf City. It had to be said that this maid was truly professional; whatever he asked, she basically answered.

In fact, the marketplace arranged this kind of service for two purposes: one was to persuade guests to participate in bidding, and the other was to clarify the situation of the bidding guests to avoid conflicts.

This was an auction house founded by the City Lord's Mansion, and generally, no one would cause trouble here, but what about outside the marketplace, or even outside Fallen Leaf City?

Although those matters had little to do with the marketplace, over time, it would still affect its reputation, which is why this service was offered, along with earning some chaotic sacred crystals.

Just as the two were talking, there was a commotion at the entrance, and a Middle-aged Man in red appeared at the entrance of the marketplace.

The reason for such a large commotion was that the Killing Intent on this man was too strong, mixed with a bloody Qi, making people fearful.

Upon seeing his appearance, the people around the marketplace scattered, fearing they couldn't avoid him quickly enough, and even the little maid next to him showed a nervous expression.

Ye Bufan asked, "Who is this person? He looks very fierce."

The little maid leaned into his ear and whispered, "Blood Hand Yuan Emperor Tu Hong, a very vicious fellow, known for his cruelty and love of killing. He is notoriously infamous throughout Fallen Leaf City and its surroundings. Whoever provokes him, not only dies themselves, but even their family members are not spared." At this point, the little maid hesitated for a moment, then added,

"Tu Hong hasn't appeared for a long time; everyone thought he was dead, but I didn't expect him to come here again. Young Master, whatever you do, don't bid against him later, or there will be endless trouble." Ye Bufan nodded slightly: "What is his strength?"

"The specific details, this servant does not know, but Jianghu rumors say he is a Sixth-Rank Chaos Yuandi Stage." Ye Bufan then said, "Isn't this the City Lord's marketplace? He wouldn't dare act recklessly with that cultivation, would he?" The little maid nodded: "He absolutely wouldn't dare here, after all, the City Lord is an Eighth-Rank Chaos Yuandi Stage. But this guy is famously ruthless, never resting until death, and once you leave Fallen Leaf City, you will definitely suffer his poisonous hand." As the two were talking, Tu Hong walked over and happened to sit in the seat to Ye Bufan's left.

The little maid showed a nervous expression and kept silent. She was under the protection of the City Lord's Mansion, but she had family members, and she dared not easily provoke this Tu Hong.
