in the future. The most urgent task is to repay the bank loan.Wang DeFu sighed. Seeing that both his mother and daughter agreed, and the price had reached this point, it was not easy to change it any..."Little brother Ye, please follow me."

Fu Haishan led Ye Bufan towards the auction hall. At this moment, his attitude towards the young man had changed drastically compared to before.

The fact that he can pull out so many high-grade pills at once indicates that he has a powerful backing, at least a master alchemist of a high order.

Another thing is Luo Yudi's attitude towards Ye Bufan. After so many years, he saw for the first time that the Pavilion Master valued someone so much.

Two reasons combined, he naturally developed a greater sense of respect for him, even to the point of wanting to befriend this young man from the heart.

After all, just picking a random alchemist is common in the Kunlun Continent. Since this young man has an alchemist as his teacher, he will definitely be able to become an alchemist in the future. Making friends with such a person would definitely not be a bad thing.

"Little brother Ye, this is the badge for participating in the auction. You take it, and if you see anything you like, you can bid directly."

Speaking, Fu Haishan presented Ye Bufan with a small black wooden plaque inscribed with the number 36.

"Also, this one, little brother, you take it too. It'd be best to wear it later."

After that, he offered her a spooky ghost mask.

Ye Bufan took the two things in his hands, put away the wooden sign, and looked at the ghost mask with surprise: “Is this thing necessary Isn't it safe to auction in your Jubao Pavilion”

"Of course not, no one dares to make trouble at our Ju Bao Ge."

Fu Haishan spoke with confidence. Jubi Pavilion was a force to be reckoned with across the entire Kunlun Continent, and no one dared to challenge it.

"On the Kunlun Continent, strength is supreme. Those who come to participate in the auction are all sorts of people. Later on, little brother, if you have something you like, you will inevitably compete with others."

If you walk away okay, that's fine. But if you end up getting what someone else wanted, then this feud is just beginning.

They wouldn't dare to lay a finger on you inside the Treasure Pavilion, but once we leave here, we'd be out of your protection. Then things could get messy. It's best to bring this along with you, just in case.

Ye Bufan nodded. The other party's words did make some sense, and besides, he would still be staying at Taiping Medical Hall for a while and didn't want to cause trouble for the Su family.

Thinking this, he immediately put the ghost mask on his face, concealing his true features.

Fu Haishan continued, "Ye Xiaoxiao, even with a mask, there are some forces in Tianlang City that you can't provoke." Ye Bufan asked curiously, "I've just arrived recently, could I trouble Manager Fu to tell me which powerful forces there are in this Tianlang City"

Fu Haishan, eager to make friends with him, patiently began to explain.

There are six major forces in Tianlang City. Officially, there is the City Lord's Mansion, the Assassin's Guild, and our Ju Bao Pavilion.

But all three of our major factions have our own principles and generally avoid conflict with others, unless someone provokes us.

Ye Bufan nodded. He was familiar with these three families; he continued to listen to the other party talk about the remaining three.

Fu Haishan continued, "Besides our three families, there are also three other prominent families in Tianlang City: the Shang family, the He family, and the Fang family."

These three families have deep roots and are filled with experts. Although they can't compare to our Treasure Pavilion and the Assassin Guild, they are definitely not someone ordinary people should provoke.

So, Ye Xiaoyou, when you're bidding later, if you encounter the descendants of these three families, it's best to back down directly. Otherwise, it's very easy to get into trouble.

"Still the same thing, they wouldn't dare touch you here at our Treasure Pavilion. But once we leave this place, they will definitely take revenge."

"Xie Fu Guan Shi reminded, I know."

Ye Bufan agreed with his mouth but didn't take it seriously in his heart. As long as he had his eye on a treasure, no matter who the other party was, he would have to get it first.

Anyway, with the particle gun as my trump card now, I'll be fine as long as no Void Refinement Stage powerhouses come after me.

But from his current observation, in a small place like Tianlang City, there seems to be no cultivator at the Refining Void stage yet. The Nascent Soul stage is already considered a master.

"Hey little bro, take a look at this. See if there's anything you like, get a head start."

Fu Haishan, speaking, handed over a roll of parchment. Ye Bufan took it and glanced at it; the thing was very similar to promotional posters on Earth.

> The items to be auctioned today have been meticulously labeled, including their category, efficacy, brand, and price.

"The auction hall is just ahead. Ye Xiaoxia, you go on your own. I have some things to take care of."

Ju Bao Ge also has its own principles. As the manager here, Fu Haishan is not suitable to get too close to guests, so he parted ways with Ye Bufan as soon as they arrived at the door.

Ye Bufan nodded, then strode forward himself. The guards at the door, upon seeing the purple-gold jade token he displayed, immediately changed their expression and respectfully led him into the auction house.

As the largest commercial institution in Tianlang City, Jubao Pavilion's auction house is still very luxurious, with thick carpets on the floor and golden decorations all around.

Lanterns blessed by formations hung from the roof, illuminating the entire market with a warm glow.

Here, the seats are all corresponding to one's own auction number. He found his seat numbered 36 under the guidance of a guard and sat down.

After the guard left, there was still a little time before the auction began. He picked up the parchment that Fu Haishan had given him and started to read it.

The first item up for auction is a sword named "Burning Sun", a lower-grade spiritual weapon. Its starting bid price is a whopping 10 million gold coins.

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. A low-grade spiritual artifact starting bid at this price, it's likely that the final price will be at least 100 million gold coins.

In this case, it's impossible to estimate the value of your own divine artifact, Dragon's Fang.

But this also gave him a wake-up call. In this world of survival of the fittest, he still needed to be careful and not easily show his dragon tooth to others.

Otherwise, you'll easily be targeted by malicious individuals. Once a powerful person arrives, you'll be in big trouble.

Then he looked down, the second item up for auction was a scroll of low-grade Earth Realm martial arts, named "The Art of Radiant Righteous Qi". This thing was even more exaggerated than the previous knife, with a starting price of a staggering 20 million.

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. This thing was completely useless to him and had no value at all.

He continued to scroll, but nothing else caught his eye.

When he saw the sixth item, his heart skipped a beat. It was a protective spirit armor, with a starting price of 10 million gold coins. Although not of high level, it could withstand three attacks from a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul stage.

If he were at his peak, he naturally wouldn't look down on this thing. But now his cultivation level was really too low, only at the mid-stage of Jindan. Having such a protective spirit armor was crucial in times of danger as it could save his life.

Thinking to himself, “This thing wanted this for itself,” he continued reading.

When he saw that the eighth item up for auction was a Nine-Leaf Xuan Bing Grass, his eyes widened in astonishment. This was undoubtedly a rare and precious medicinal herb.

Although it's useless to him now, once he recovers his cultivation to the Nascent Soul Stage and wants to continue breaking through, he'll need it.

Such things as elixirs are always hard to come by. If we miss this chance, there's no guarantee we'll have another opportunity like this in the future, so we absolutely must get our hands on it.ed Ye Bufan just arrived and beat them all away…"Ye Bufan recounted the fabricated lie he had spun, from beginning to end. To be precise, it wasn't exactly a lie, after all, it was something he had do...
