Chapter 4304: Top Auction

A pleasant surprise! It's simply a huge surprise!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ye Bufan continued to look down. When he saw the name of the second auction item, his recently calmed heart once again surged with monstrous waves.

Condensing Dew Soul Fruit, it was another Peak Ninth Rank Chaotic Spiritual Fruit.

The most crucial point was that its greatest effect was to enhance Mental Energy, capable of elevating it by a major Rank, or even higher.

Currently, his Mental Energy was not outstanding; it had advanced alongside his Cultivation to Yuandi Stage Seventh Grade. Once he consumed this Condensing Dew Soul Fruit, it would at least reach Yuansheng Stage Seventh Grade.

Looking further down, he shivered with excitement—there were actually two of these items, with a starting bid of twenty thousand chaotic sacred crystals.

Ye Bufan was so excited it felt like a dream. He pinched his thigh, and the intense pain told him that everything was real, that there were indeed two treasures laid out before him.

“Whoosh… Whoosh…”

He took two deep breaths in a row, finally suppressing his agitated heart, and continued to look down, but then he nearly jumped up.

“Five Elements Essence…”

Seeing these words, Ye Bufan was overjoyed beyond measure, even feeling an urge to laugh uproroariously.

Although the Five Elements Essence wasn't complete, only having the Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire types, each one individually was a treasure that money couldn't buy.

As the name suggested, Five Elements Essence was formed by the condensation of various Five Elements Origin Qi.

It was said to be Geng Metal Essence. If a Metal attribute Cultivator carried this item while Cultivating, their Cultivation speed would at least double, or even more.

If all Five Elements Essence were gathered, it would have the effect of altering a spatial world. That is to say, if he gathered these items, his True Spirit World would have all Five Elements complete, elevating it another Rank and promoting it to a Chaos World.

It was no exaggeration to say that the preceding auction items held a fatal attraction for him; he absolutely had to obtain them.

Looking further down, although the subsequent auction items were not as important to him as the first three, they were definitely all treasures.

“Excellent, this is truly excellent! This is a top-tier auction!”

Although he tried his best to control himself, Ye Bufan couldn't help but grin widely. He had participated in so many auctions, but none of them were of this Rank.

When he finished his excitement and looked around, he saw that the people around him were all keeping their distance, looking at him as if he were a monster.

Especially the child who was handing out flyers, he looked even more terrified, sitting in the corner nervously watching him.

“Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm just a little too happy.”

Ye Bufan felt a bit awkward, pulled out a chaotic sacred crystal, and slipped it into the child's hand. “Little brother, tell me, where is the Wanxiang City marketplace?”

After receiving the chaotic sacred crystal, the child's nervousness immediately eased a lot. He raised his hand and pointed to the east, “It's over there, starting in one hour.”

Ye Bufan took off running, afraid of being late. Such a rare Opportunity could not be missed.

He looked at the parchment in his hand several more times, even doubting whether what was written on it was true, or if it was just a farce.

Arriving in front of the Wanxiang City marketplace, he found that it was magnificent, no less grand than the Star Plucking Tower he had seen before.

The entrance was already crowded with people, pointing at the posted notices and discussing animatedly.

Ye Bufan glanced at the large red notice on the door, which was identical to the content of the flyer in his hand. Only then did he believe it was all real.

Many people gathered at the entrance, but very few actually entered.

The reason was simple: to participate in this auction, the admission fee alone was ten thousand chaotic sacred crystals, which could be said to be an exorbitant price among exorbitant prices.

Even in the Ninth Layer Chaotic Holy World, this was an astronomical figure, and not many people could afford it.

The key was that even if one could afford the admission fee, they might not be able to bid on the treasures they wanted inside.

Therefore, more people chose to observe from outside, watching the spectacle, and only those with true strength dared to enter.

Ye Bufan paid ten thousand chaotic sacred crystals and stepped into the marketplace.

It had to be said that although the fee was a bit high, the interior was indeed extremely luxurious. Not only were all the facilities exceptionally opulent, but the Chaotic Origin Energy was also a hundred times denser than outside.

There weren't many seats inside, about a hundred or so, and about half were already occupied when he entered.

Ye Bufan knew that he would have to contend for these treasures, so he couldn't be low-key. Without hesitation, he directly found a central seat in the front row and sat down.

He only displayed the Cultivation of a Yuan Emperor, and he wasn't accompanied by a Senior, making him seem somewhat out of place in the entire marketplace, attracting countless gazes for a moment.

Ye Bufan completely ignored how others viewed him. What he cared about were the treasures he had set his sights on. He re-read the list in his hand from beginning to end.

After reading it twice, he had a good idea of things. As soon as he looked up, he found someone sitting next to him; it was none other than Ye Junxie, accompanied by Luo Jisheng.

He was startled at first, but then he understood. Besides Xuan Yuan Linglong, his second brother also possessed a Spotless Spiritual Root. Neither the Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts nor the people behind him would let this Opportunity slip by.

Given their previous encounter, Luo Jisheng showed no hostility upon seeing him; instead, he smiled slightly.

In his eyes, this was just an outstanding Young man, a Disciple of Ku Xuzi, who had also helped him before, so his attitude was naturally vastly different from before.

The Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts didn't say much either, just sat next to him with a cold face.

Ye Bufan glanced at him. After calming down, many thoughts emerged in his mind.

He had been too excited before and hadn't thought calmly. Only now did he realize that something was unusual.

Whether it was the heavenly pure divine fruit, the Five Elements Essence, or the other auction items, any one of them was an extremely rare treasure.

Under normal circumstances, whoever obtained such a treasure would either use it themselves or collect it; they wouldn't casually put it up for auction.

But today, not only did they appear, but so many appeared at once, which was already somewhat unusual.

If combined with the Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts' identity as his scapegoat, and then paired with the Spotless Spiritual Root, the other party's targeting seemed to be evident.

Whether it was himself or other Cultivators, if they possessed a Spotless Spiritual Root and heard that a heavenly pure divine fruit had appeared, they would likely spare no expense to obtain it.

Ye Bufan knew that he could figure this out, and as an old fox, the Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts naturally also knew the trick behind it.

He asked, “You dare to come to an auction like this?”

The Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts' voice was flat: “What do I have to be afraid of? This is Wanxiang City, and besides, I have Senior Luo accompanying me.”

Ye Bufan said, “The treasures are good treasures, but since the other party put them out, they probably won't let you take them away so easily.”

The Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts said coldly, “Cultivation is inherently a struggle with Heaven and Earth, seeking Opportunity amidst danger. How would I know if I don't try?”

“Well said.”

Ye Bufan nodded. Although the heavenly pure divine fruit was precious, the other party was using his Physical Body, so improving his strength was not a problem.

Moreover, he still had to be his scapegoat now, so it was good for him to be stronger.

If the Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts obtained the heavenly pure divine fruit, then he wouldn't contend for it.

While the two of them were talking, dozens more people poured in from outside.

Ye Bufan looked up and saw an old acquaintance again.

The Grand Elder of Lingjiu Hall, Lu Dingxuan, accompanied by Zong Mian.
