Chapter 3198: Encountering an Old Acquaintance

s over. "Master Gong, I'm sorry, our young master had a few drinks when he arrived and got a little carried away. Please don't take it to heart..."Before he could finish his words, there was a sharp c...Ye Bufan himself knew that after curing the other party's illness and doing such a great favor, the Bingqiong Empire had to show some gratitude. What he lacked most now was cultivation resources.

Divine sense swept across, and his expression moved instantly. Besides tens of millions of low-grade immortal crystals in the ring, there were also a large number of spirit medicines and spirit grasses.

But what moved him most was a fist-sized stone in the corner, it was unmistakably a piece of thunderstone.

It's true that when you need something, it appears. I didn't expect to find another one so soon.

Ye Bufan was overjoyed. With a flick of his wrist, the piece of Leiji stone appeared in his palm.

It's a pity this one is too small. It's much smaller than the piece Mu Feiyin gave him before. At most, it can be used to refine another inferior immortal artifact, Lei Hulu. It's still very far from his goal.

"Lord Xiao, do you still have this"

Although asking someone for something can be a bit embarrassing, there's no other way. He really needs this thing right now.

Xiao Honglie shook his head: "This, there really isn't any."

Ye Bufan frowned: "Where did you get this Fast Thunder Accumulated Stone from"

Xiao Honglie said, "It was from an auction at the Zhexing Lou decades ago. I won it."

Ye Bufan's heart skipped a beat. Since there was a source, he should try it himself. What if he could find even larger pieces of Lei Jishi

What is Zixinglou Can it still be photographed

"Does the Saint's Envoy not know of the Stargazing Pavilion"

Xiao Honglie was stunned for a moment, then thinking that Ye Bufan was just a newly ascended cultivator, he no longer found it strange and began to explain.

This Zixing Building is the first largest commercial building in the entire fairy world. Legend has it that it stretches across the three realms of heaven, earth, and underworld.

The reason it's called "Picking Stars" is that it implies, if you have the money, even stars in the sky can be brought down to you.

After a brief introduction, Ye Bufan immediately understood that this Zhāxīnglóu was exactly like the Jùbǎogé in the mortal cultivation world, belonging to the largest commercial institution in the fairy realm.

The mortal world can't do without money, and the cultivation world can't do without resources. Under these circumstances, commercial operations are naturally indispensable.

He asked, "Where is the Zhexinglou Do you know when the next auction will be"

Xiao Honglie said: "The Zixing Lou has four branches in Qingwei Tian. The closest one is about 100,000 miles away from the Imperial City of Bingqiong Empire."

As for the auctions, they hold one every month, and the most recent one is tomorrow.

After finishing his words, he took out a jade slip: "If the Holy Envoy needs to go there, I have a sketch here that might come in handy."

"I want to try my luck."

Ye Bufan took the jade slip. For Lei Jishi, he had to make a trip.

He glanced at the map and said with a puzzled expression, "Why is the Zhāxīnglóu located so far out Shouldn't it be situated in the capital of some empire"

Xiao Bailie said, "Good wine needs no bush; even if Zexinglou is located anywhere, those who need it will come."

Besides, in the Stargazing Pavilion, the Saint mustn't worry. No one dares to make a move there.

"Even after you leave, it's best to be careful. After all, there are strong people everywhere and all kinds of individuals."

Ye Bufan nodded and, taking Yu Hualing with him, left the Imperial City, soaring towards the east.

His strength increased, and he controlled the speed of the nine heavens much faster. After about half a day, he arrived at the location marked on the map.

Ye Bufan did not rush forward, but stopped about a thousand miles away. He chose a secluded valley and set up a teleportation array there.

These days, dangers lurk everywhere, especially at auctions where things could easily escalate into a fight over treasure, even resulting in bloodshed.

But his own cultivation level was not strong enough yet, and he had used up the last of his Hundred-Li Escape Talismans. He had to make some preparations beforehand.

He set up a small teleportation circle here, and then concealed it with an array.

After finishing these tasks, the two continued on their journey. About ten miles from Zhexing Building, they set up another teleportation array.

After doing all of this, Ye Bufan nodded in satisfaction. If he encountered danger, as long as he could escape to here, he could be sent thousands of miles away in an instant.

After completing these life-saving safety measures, the next step is to change one's appearance.

Auctions are unpredictable, you never know what treasures you might encounter. It's important to stay discreet and avoid attracting unwanted attention from opportunistic individuals. The best way to do this is by concealing your identity.

Ye Bufan didn't choose a handkerchief, after all, this thing is sometimes not very reliable. He directly disguised himself as Chu Xiao.

Anyway, since he's already dead, it's common knowledge that at least the four major sects of Qingwei Heaven know this, and it won't cause any trouble for the sect.

Thinking of this, he transformed completely into Chu Xiao's appearance, and his cultivation was no longer completely hidden, releasing the aura of an early True Immortal.

Yuhua Ling stood beside him, slightly frowning: "Young master, you don't look good like this."

Although Chu Xiao previously had a certain degree of handsomeness, compared to Ye Bufan's true self, he was still far behind.

"It'll do for now."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, the two walked forward together.

We hadn't walked far when we saw, in the distance, a towering palace. It was magnificent and imposing, its peak reaching high above the clouds, as if it were plucking stars from the sky.

As the largest commercial institution in the fairy realm, countless fairies come and go here. There are people from the four major sects, some hidden cultivators, and other practitioners from different celestial domains who come here to hone their skills.

Four guards in black stood at the door, each one possessing the cultivation of a celestial being.

It's clear that this Zhexing Tower is definitely powerful, and it's also a show of force, telling the immortals who come here not to cause trouble.

Ye Bufan and the other person came to the door, paid 200 lower grade immortal crystals as an entrance fee, and just as they were about to go in, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Chu Ge, is that you"

Ye Bufan was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was probably calling him. How could there be acquaintances here

He turned back and saw a beautiful young girl looking at him with surprise.

It was Mu Feiyue, whom I had previously met in the Yuxian Mire. She is the granddaughter of Mu Yan, the second elder of Liuli Xianzong.

Beside her was also a young man, with an arrogant expression. At this moment, he was glaring at himself with malice in his eyes.

In addition, there were four middle-aged men who looked like guards, each of whom had reached the realm of Great Spirit Immortal.

Ye Bufan touched his nose. Originally, he had disguised himself as Chu Xiao just to conceal his identity and not leave a trace afterward, but he hadn't expected to run into an acquaintance here.

"Miss Mu, what are you doing here"

"Brother Chu, it's really you Grandpa said you were dead. I knew he was lying to me..."

Confirming Ye Bufan's identity, the little girl rushed over and hugged his arm, her face full of joy, but tears flickered in her eyes.

When Mu Yan returned, she told her everything that had happened at the Liuguang Sword Sect.

But the little girl ultimately refused to believe it, still holding onto a sliver of hope in her heart.

Today, I happened to meet Ye Bufan disguised as Chu Xiao here. Naturally, I think Mu Yan is lying to me.

Ye Bufan didn't know how to explain, when a cold voice suddenly came from beside him: "Boy, you quickly let go of Feiyan, my younger sister!"as simple as crushing an ant, but within the sect, I fear being noticed by the Sect Master."Bai Lingpu said: "So we must be careful, and not let our own people take action unless absolutely necessary....
