on changed: "Smart people are destined to die young. Just tell me, where is your treasure What good things are inside""Don't worry, it's not time to talk about that yet."Ye Bufan smiled and said, "Let..."Sure, anytime!"

Ye Bufan smiled faintly at him, his gaze glancing over the storage ring.

Just had my plans ruined by Li Fengxing. Couldn't successfully rob him. If that guy goes out again and doesn't know when to stop, this ring will be mine.

Ling Jiang was about to say something else, but just then, a tremendous pressure swept over him, enveloping the entire market.

Ye Bufan's expression changed slightly. Such powerful pressure had already surpassed that of a Great Luo Immortal, and it was clearly the level of a Heavenly King.

This is the inherent strategy of Zhāxīng Lóu. Such a massive marketplace wouldn't be able to maintain itself without a powerful presence.

Before the game begins, use a Celestial Emperor to set the stage. This strategy is simple and straightforward, perfectly aligning with the celestial realm's rule where strength reigns supreme.

In fact, the effect was very good. After this Immortal King's pressure swept over, although it was short-lived, all the immortals present became much calmer.

Then, a middle-aged man of average height walked onto the central auction stage.

"Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Zixing Tower. I am Zhong Zijia, the manager of this marketplace."

He gave a brief introduction, then began to read out the rules of the Zhexinglou marketplace.

To sum it up, there are a few simple rules: no threatening other guests, no leaving before the end, and no false bidding. Otherwise, you will be severely punished by the marketplace!

The rules are simple, they're just there to maintain order during the auction.

The auctioneer declared the end of the proceedings, and attendants from the marketplace distributed scrolls of parchment listing the items to each participant.

Ye Bufan picked it up and took a look. There were a total of ten auction items from beginning to end, each with detailed markings, including starting price, item characteristics, and so on.

As the largest commercial institution in the fairy world, Zhexing Lou has its own business characteristics.

At auctions of this caliber, invitations are issued only after meticulous research into the recipient's preferences.

Generally, only one or two lots are revealed to pique interest, while the rest of the items remain completely confidential.

Thus, even though these individuals had come with specific intentions, they were nonetheless unfamiliar with the other offerings. At this moment, each of them was looking at the parchment in their hands with keen interest.

At the very top of the list, it boldly read "The Immaculate Heavenly Scripture," with a starting price of five million lower-grade Immortal Crystals.

Generally speaking, the order in which items are set up for auction at a marketplace also has its own considerations. The first item put up for auction is relatively well-known and used to open the bidding.

But in terms of status, it pales in comparison to the last and final piece up for auction.

Ye Bufan sighed in his heart. The Immaculate Heavenly Book was unexpectedly set as the first item to be auctioned, and the starting price wasn't particularly high either. This clearly showed how quickly its status had declined.

Looking back, the annotation only had a simple sentence.

"A divine book descends from heaven, awaiting those destined to comprehend its wisdom!"

He couldn't find anything on the list, so he continued looking at the second item up for auction, called the Golden Dragon Scale Armor.

This is a defensive immortal artifact. Its previous rank was very high, but it is now damaged and has dropped to the fifth rank. It can withstand attacks from powerful cultivators of the Da Yi Immortal realm.

The third item up for auction is a Hundred-Li Escape Talisman.

Ye Bufan's heart moved. This was a good thing. After getting the Heavenly Book, if he still had money, he must get his hands on it. After all, this thing could really save lives at critical moments.

Looking one by one, his gaze finally settled on the tenth item up for auction.

Generally speaking, the pièce de résistance of an auction is bound to be something exceptional, especially for an auction of such a high caliber.

When Ye Bufan first saw the name of this thing, his eyes lit up instantly.

In ancient medical texts, this is considered a rare and precious celestial treasure. While it doesn't offer much help to mental energy, it nourishes the soul and is best suited for the fusion of the soul and body.

Generally speaking, if a Nascent Soul takes over another body, their cultivation level would drop at least three ranks. This is assuming they can find a suitable physical vessel.

If the sacrificial tripod for a soul-binding ritual is unsuitable, or its attributes are incompatible, it's possible that the outcome could result in complete failure, leaving the individual as a mere husk.

Even if they were to merge, it would take hundreds of years to regain their former glory.

But with this Ice Soul Marrow, it's completely different. Not only can it fuse perfectly with the flesh, but it also recovers cultivation at an incredibly fast rate.

After seeing it, Ye Bufan couldn't help but nod secretly. As expected of the high-level auction at Zhexinglou, this thing is definitely a priceless treasure.

Then the starting price indicated later was also amazing, directly at 50 million, ten times higher than the previous Immaculate Heavenly Book.

But think about it, it's normal. The Wugu Tian Shu is famous, but for ten thousand years no one has been able to see through it, it's completely a nonexistent entity.

But the Bing Po Hun Sui before him was vastly different. This thing was a heavenly treasure, usable as soon as it was taken, with no room for error whatsoever.

After he finished looking, a tall and elegant female fairy walked onto the auction stage.

As a purely commercial enterprise, it strikes the right balance between catering to customers' psychological needs and respecting their time.

Ye Bufan looked up. The beautiful fairy who was in charge of the auction had long, jet-black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall. Her figure was curvy and her features were exquisitely beautiful.

While her looks may not be as striking as those of Phoenix Dance or others, she is undoubtedly a rare and beautiful fairy.

It seems that liking beautiful women is a common characteristic of humans. Whether it's Earth, the cultivation world, or the fairy world, the chosen auctioneers are all extremely beautiful women.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to the Zhāxīnglóu Auction..."

The beautiful auctioneer was smiling brightly, and her voice was incredibly sweet.

I made a simple opening remark and then said, "As all of you have seen, the first item up for auction today is a priceless treasure, the Immaculate Heavenly Scripture."

It is said to be a divine book, completely surpassing the cultivation level of the fairy world, unparalleled.

For all these years, the divine book has remained untouched, finding no destined reader who could comprehend its secrets or unlock its true value.

But everything has its exceptions, perhaps among the distinguished guests present today, someone might be destined to encounter the Book of Immaculate Heaven.

Once comprehended, one will become the number one person in the entire fairy world.

After millennia of sedimentation, the value of the Pristine Heavenly Scripture has been severely underestimated. Today's starting price is five million low-grade Xianjing, with each bid increase not less than fifty thousand.

Now the bidding begins, looking forward to the arrival of those destined for the heavenly book...

I have to say, this woman's eloquence is truly impressive. Her words flow smoothly and sound pleasant, yet they carry a strong persuasive power.

The expressions of many immortals present changed. Humans always have a gambler's mentality, always hoping they are the lucky ones.

This is just like buying lottery tickets on Earth. The probability of winning is extremely low, but everyone remains hopeful.

"Honorable guests, raise your paddles!"

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, everyone present raised their paddles.

"Six million..."

"Seven million..."

"Ten million..."

"Fifty million..."

After the auction began, the atmosphere in the entire venue was electrifying as everyone vied for the items being sold.

Ye Bufan didn't rush to make a move. All the previous efforts were useless. The final moment was what determined the ownership of the heavenly scripture.

Originally, Gong Qingxuan had said that the last auction price for the Wugou Tian Shu was 300 million low-grade immortal crystals.

I originally thought this auction would be lower than the last one, but this auctioneer is too skilled. With just a few words, he stirred up everyone's greed deep in their hearts. Everyone imagined themselves able to see through the Pure Heaven Scripture and dreamed of becoming the number one person in the Immortal Realm.

This leaves the question of how many immortal crystals it would take to acquire this book completely unpredictable. Fortunately, he was well-prepared, with over 2 billion in his pocket, which should be enough.rance and middle age stood with his chin held high, his nose in the air, a look of arrogance on his face.He was followed by a dozen or so lackeys, who, compared to other immortals, were completely vul...
