."Die."A cold glint flashed in Ye Bufan's eyes, and with a punch, Watanabe Masayuki once again flew backwards like a kite with its string cut, spitting blood from his mouth mid-air."Since you're looki...>

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

And since the re-evaluation of the Holy Spirit Tournament was not for another ten days, he didn't rush his journey, but leisurely strolled along.

Passing by some spiritual mountains and rivers, occasionally picking some chaotic spirit grasses.

After walking for half a day, a town of medium size appeared before them.

Where there are people, there are cities, and this is no exception anywhere.

He had seen it on his previous visit, but he was in a hurry and didn't go in.

Since we have plenty of time, why not go in and take a look We might find some treasures. After all, I'm well-off now.

Descending from the mid-air, in front of the city lay a gate with three large characters inscribed: Luoye City.

Having paid the entrance fee of two Chaos Saint Crystals, Ye Bufan entered the city. The city wasn't particularly large, but it was quite prosperous.

On both sides of the street, shops lined up. Some cultivators also set up stalls along the road, selling their unused cultivation resources.

Along his journey, Ye Bufan had purchased many Chaos Spirit Herbs, but they were all of low grades, only around the first and second ranks.

According to the records of the third level inheritance of ancient medicine, the spiritual herbs of the Chaotic Saint Realm are divided into nine grades in total.

Luo Ye City is located in a remote area of the First Chaos Sacred Realm. It's normal for the grade of spiritual herbs to be lower, and the prices are really cheap.

Generally, a first-grade Chaos Spirit Herb costs about one to two hundred Chaos Sacred Crystals, while a second-grade one costs around three to four hundred.

Ye Bufan bought dozens of them in one breath, and also bought some low-grade refining materials.

Only then did he realize that he was absolutely a millionaire, not because things were too cheap but because he was too rich.

It makes sense, that old man Kǔxūzi gave me 10,000 Chaos Saint Crystals, supposedly enough to cultivate to the peak of the Yuanzun realm.

Man Hongxiu is the second elder of Ziyue Mountain, but her entire fortune is only a few tens of thousands.

It's clear that the purchasing power of the Chaos Sacred Crystal is truly strong, at least in the First Layer of the Chaos Sacred Realm.

This has both pros and cons. You can buy things without spending too much money, but you might not be able to find very good products.

Just as he felt bored, a sharp shout suddenly came over.

"Folks, the auction will start in half an hour. There are all sorts of treasures up for grabs here, don't miss out!"

Hearing the three words "auction", Ye Bufan's heart suddenly moved.

Looking up, I saw a huge shopping mall in the distance.

A young man who looked like a clerk was energetically hawking outside the door.

He immediately went over, after all, he had attended so many auctions, and each time he could reap some rewards.

He didn't hide his identity either, after all, he wasn't well-known in this chaotic Saint Realm at the moment and no one recognized him.

Moreover, this current appearance is merely a disguise as Ye Tian, able to change at any time.

"Master, are you going to attend the auction"

The fellow looked extremely clever and immediately came up to Ye Bufan after seeing him.

"Let me tell you, this marketplace belongs to the city lord. We are fair and just here, there will never be any bullying or unfair treatment. No matter what treasures you buy, we guarantee your safe departure from Fallen Leaf City…"

The young man was a shrewd businessman, well-versed in the ways of commerce. He knew exactly what worried the guests attending the auction, and with just a few words, he succinctly explained the situation at the auction house.

"Are there any good things" Ye Bufan said.

"Of course, we have plenty of treasures in a marketplace this large. Here's the auction list for you to take a look at."

The young man, speaking, handed over a jade slip. Ye Bufan swept his divine sense over it and his eyes immediately lit up.

The items up for auction here are definitely much more high-end than what's available outside, and there are a few things I actually need right now. Most importantly, the prices aren't too steep either.

Although it's a bit more expensive than the first and second grade Chaos Spirit Herbs, it's nothing to him with the Chaos Sacred Crystals he has in his pocket now.

He said, "Take me in."

The young man beamed: "Alright, sir. Entrance fee is five hundred Chaos Sacred Crystals."

Ye Bufan only then knew why this marketplace didn't have many customers. The entrance fee was indeed quite expensive for ordinary people; 500 Chaos Holy Crystals could buy three second-grade Chaos Spirit Herbs.

He paid and was about to go in, when the young attendant followed up with: "Sir, would you like a companion"

We have maids here who are very familiar with all kinds of auction items, and they know a great deal about the Leaf City and its powerful figures. You can ask us anything you like.

The cost is one hundred Chaos Holy Crystals, absolutely worth it.

"Sure, find me one."

Ye Bufan possesses the third level inheritance of the Gu Yimen school. The auction items naturally don't need explanation from others, but it is still necessary to grasp some information about Luye City and the participants in the auction.

The most important thing is that it's cheap. One hundred Chaos Sacred Crystals are nothing to him, considering he has tens of thousands.

He nodded, and the young attendant immediately called over a pretty maidservant who led them.

Zhe Ye Bu Fan entered the mall.

The two sat down in the center, with a maid by their side who introduced the items on display from beginning to end.

Ye Bufan was not very interested in this, and began to learn about other aspects of Luye City.

I have to say, this maid is truly professional. She answers almost every question asked.

Actually, the marketplace arranges this service for two purposes: one is to persuade customers to participate in the auction, and the other is to make the situation of the auction participants clear to avoid conflicts.

This is the auction house run by the City Lord's Mansion. Generally, no one would cause trouble here, but what if they did... outside the auction house Even outside Falling Leaf City

Although those things aren't directly related to the marketplace, they can damage reputation over time. That's why this service exists, to mitigate that and earn some Chaotic Crystals along the way.

Just as the two were talking, there was a commotion at the door, and a middle-aged man in red appeared at the entrance of the mall.

The reason for such a commotion is that the man's killing intent was too heavy, mixed with blood energy, making people fearful.

Upon his arrival, people around the marketplace gave way, each avoiding him as if afraid of something terrible. Even the maidservants nearby looked nervous.

"Who is this person They look quite menacing," Ye Bufan asked.

A little maidservant leaned into his ear and whispered, "The Blood Hand Emperor Tu Hong is a very cruel man, known for his cruelty. He is notorious throughout the area around Falling Leaf City.

Whoever provokes him will not only die themselves but also their entire family will be wiped out.

At this point, the young maid hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Tu Hong has been missing for a long time. Everyone thought he was dead, but he's actually back here."

“Just now, sir, please don't bid against him, otherwise there will be endless troubles.”

Ye Bufan nodded slightly. "What's his strength"

"As for the specifics, I am unaware. Rumors circulating in the martial arts world claim it is a Sixth Rank Chaotic Origin Emperor."

Ye Bufan said again, "Isn't this the marketplace of the City Lord's Mansion He wouldn't dare to act recklessly with his cultivation level, would he"

The little maid nodded: "He absolutely wouldn't dare here, after all, the Lord Mayor is an eighth-rank Chaos Yuan Emperor."

"This guy is notoriously vicious and relentless. He never gives up, and anyone who leaves Falling Leaf City will surely fall victim to his wrath."

As the two were speaking, Tu Hong walked over and sat down in the seat to Ye Bufan's left.

The little maid showed a nervous expression and remained silent.

She was under the protection of the City Lord's Mansion, but she had a family of her own and didn't dare to provoke Tu Hong easily.I swear it's not my fault. Please, let me go..."Zhang Hongwu was completely terrified, his soul flying apart. He never expected today's events would cost him his head, and he begged for mercy over and...
