Chapter 583: Lianhua Pavilion

The concentration of spiritual energy within this Immortal Cave was rare.

Xiao Fan felt it was similar to those caves filled with spiritual energy in the Mysterious Giant Secret Realm.

"What a great place!" Xiao Fan exclaimed. If Yihuang Province alone had such a place, what would the other major provinces be like?

After spending so many days in Yihuang Province, he discovered that not only did the concentration of spiritual energy here surpass Wuhuang Province, but everything else, including Cultivation Techniques and Magical Artifacts, also surpassed Wuhuang Province.

At this moment, Xiao Fan even wondered if he should return to Wuhuang Province.

After all, in Wuhuang Province, his current strength was relatively weak. He needed to become stronger and then slaughter his way to Tianshen Prefecture.

If he stayed in Wuhuang Province, he didn't know how long it would take to reach the Yuding Realm.

Xiao Fan sat cross-legged inside the Immortal Cave. Not long after, Zhangsun Ning came to find him and dragged him out.

"What are we going to do!" Xiao Fan was speechless. He had just entered such a rich place and wanted to consolidate his cultivation, only to be dragged out by Zhangsun Ning.

"We are going to see if there are any grade 6 pills for sale." Zhangsun Ning only said this one sentence and offered no further explanation.

But upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's body shivered involuntarily.

Taking him to look at Medicinal Pills? Didn't that mean she still intended for him to pay the bill!

Xiao Fan's eyes were full of resentment at this moment. He really wanted to ask Zhangsun Ning, if you are making me pay for your Medicinal Pills, couldn't you have a better attitude?

The two went to Lianhua Pavilion. This merchant house had branches in every city in Yihuang Province.

Previously, in Linze City, Xiao Fan had visited Lianhua Pavilion and purchased quite a few grade 5 pills.

It was very similar to the Treasure Pavilion in Wuhuang Province.

Zhangsun Ning brought Xiao Fan inside. Her cultivation was at the Yuding Realm. Although she could not currently restore her strength to its Peak, and it was somewhat weakened, judging by her aura, she was still a powerhouse of the Yuding Realm.

When the two entered, no one dared to be negligent, and the shopkeeper of Lianhua Pavilion personally came to welcome them.

Even in Yihuang Province, the Yuding Realm was undoubtedly a powerhouse.

"grade 6 pills, for restoring the Foundation and replenishing Essence Blood." Zhangsun Ning spoke directly.

"Senior, we do have grade 6 pills, but those for restoring the Foundation and treating Essence Blood are not sold in our shop… because such Medicinal Pills are only available at the Auction House." The shopkeeper answered truthfully.

Zhangsun Ning nodded; it was just as she had thought.

grade 6 pills and Grade 7 Pills would only appear at the Auction House.

Even if the merchant house had them, they would not easily sell them within the shop.

After all, they had to ensure the flow of people for each auction. If everything needed could be purchased at the merchant house, then the Auction House would lose much of its significance.

Likewise, generally, such large merchant houses usually had their own corresponding Auction House.

"When is the next auction being held?" Zhangsun Ning asked.

"In seven days, there happens to be one," the shopkeeper replied respectfully.

Zhangsun Ning nodded. Before she could continue speaking, the shopkeeper respectfully handed over an invitation.

"Senior, you can use this invitation to attend when the time comes."

Zhangsun Ning nodded and left with Xiao Fan.

"Why did he give you an invitation?" After leaving the merchant house, Xiao Fan asked curiously.

"Generally, powerhouses like me have immense wealth, and if we enter the Auction House, our purchasing power is also extremely high." Zhangsun Ning explained, "He gave me the invitation, so I count as his invitee. Afterward, if I bid on items, he can also get a commission."

Zhangsun Ning explained to Xiao Fan very patiently that this tactic was common not only in Yihuang Province but also in other major provinces.

Xiao Fan nodded, understanding what was going on, but at the same time, he felt bitter in his heart.

Zhangsun Ning was explaining so patiently to him, she definitely had bad intentions!

When they went to the Auction House later, without a doubt, she would definitely spend his Spirit Stones.

"Sigh…" Xiao Fan let out a breath. He felt that life was truly difficult for him.

Who could have imagined that Zhangsun Ning, a powerhouse with Yuding Realm cultivation, was actually pitifully poor and intended to rely on exploiting Xiao Fan, a small Yuanhun Realm Cultivator.

"What are you sighing about there!" Zhangsun Ning said irritably. In reality, it was just as Xiao Fan had thought; she indeed intended to use Xiao Fan's Spirit Stones for the auction.

"No, nothing." Xiao Fan shook his head.

What else could he do?

Zhangsun Ning's mood had been unstable recently. If it weren't for the fact that female Cultivators didn't have menstrual periods, he would have suspected that she was on hers!

"Looking at your expression, you seem unwilling?" Zhangsun Ning's expression changed.

"No, I am willing!" Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and agreed.

"That's more like it." Zhangsun Ning's expression softened a bit, and she took Xiao Fan back to the restaurant.

Did he dare say he was unwilling?

He felt that Zhangsun Ning could force him to submit with her martial prowess and beat him until he was willing!

For the next few days, Xiao Fan and Zhangsun Ning did not go out and stayed inside the Immortal Cave. Zhangsun Ning restored her own Foundation, while Xiao Fan consolidated his cultivation.

He had previously stayed at the Xuandan Realm for a long time. Now that he had reached the Yuanhun Realm, his Realm had loosened, and it wouldn't take long before he could break through to the Yuanhun Realm Level 1 Middle Stage.

…

In front of the Martial Emperor's gate in Yihuang Province.

City Lord Ming Long, City Lord Du Ling, Chu Feng, and the others also arrived at the Imperial City.

City Lord Ming Long was a subordinate under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Family, and with an unimpeded journey, he went directly into the Imperial City.

Previously, the ruler of the Dynasty had specifically instructed City Lord Ming Long that upon arrival, he was to enter the Imperial Palace directly and report the matter regarding Xiao Fan to him.
