nly seemed like they would have time to do so.After a while, the lion was still there, sleeping in the sun and ignoring them completely. The group of people gradually relaxed.Inside the car, He Shuang..."Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Paradise Island Auction. Our first item up for auction today is the Half Moon Glass Grass."

This is an eighth-order spiritual herb. Those in need can exchange it for herbs of the same rank...

The female auctioneer was clearly familiar with this kind of scene, her movements smooth and fluid as she quickly whipped up the atmosphere in the room.

Half-moon Glazed Grass is considered a high-grade spirit grass among the eighth-order ones. After the auction began, others bid frantically, offering their own treasures in exchange.

But Ye Bufan frowned slightly. Originally, according to the order on the invitation card, the first auction item should have been Bahuang Grass, and the last one was this Half-Moon Glazed Grass.

However, when they arrived at the auction site, it turned out to be held in reverse order. According to this auction format, one would only get to see the Imperial Grass and Immortal Jade Flower at the very end.

It seems his plan to get those two herbs early and leave quickly has completely failed.

Soon the first item was auctioned off, a Half Moon Glazed Grass, which was won by a bald cultivator.

Immediately following the second auction item, it began as Ye Bufan had guessed. The order of bidding was completely reversed from the sequence listed on the invitation.

One can't help but say that Paradise Island is incredibly well-prepared this time. Just taking out any one item as a bid would be a priceless treasure.

One item after another was auctioned off. These treasures were also highly tempting to Ye Bufan, but he ultimately held back.

He was very aware that the entire auction was under Jiu Fang Xie's watchful eye. If he obtained too many items, it would inevitably draw his attention, and when the time came to act, he would be the first target.

That's why he set himself a goal: to only photograph three treasures. Besides the Emperor Grass and Qionghua, he could choose one more at most.

Ye Bufan flipped the invitation in his hand, finally setting his sights on the next auction item—the Wind Profound Stone.

This stone doesn't look very big, just a little bigger than an adult's fist, but for an alchemist it is a priceless treasure.

If a piece of Feng Xuan Stone is integrated into the ninth day, its flying speed will be greatly enhanced, reaching the level of a high-grade flying spirit artifact.

Although his cultivation level has improved rapidly now, the cultivators he encounters are also becoming increasingly powerful, with several tribulation late-stage cultivators easily found around him.

In this case, if there's an additional high-grade flying magical artifact, it could definitely save your life in a critical moment.

The auction was quickly halfway through, and the next item to be brought up was this Fengxuan stone.

"Friends, this piece of Feng Xuan stone in my hand is a top-grade material for refining weapons. It also has great benefits for cultivators who practice wind attribute techniques..."

The beautiful auctioneer, with silver tongue, showcased the value of this stone in her hands completely. Finally, she said, "Alright, now the bidding begins, everyone can quote your price."

“I offer an eighth-rank pill.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the King of Jiao Teng next to him made an offer first. It was obvious that he also had his eye on this piece of Feng Xuan Stone.

He reached out his hand, and in his palm appeared a black pill that smelled fragrant.

"This is the Huayang Pill, an eighth-rank elixir. If you take it, it can help a cultivator at the Void Opening stage improve their cultivation level by one."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the room.

In this Yao Ming Sea, spiritual herbs can be harvested and spirit stones can be found, but only medicinal pills are scarce. Compared to the Five Continents, there are far too few alchemists here.

That's precisely why high-grade pills are incredibly precious. To put it mildly, a single eighth-rank pill here could be exchanged for one or even multiple ninth-rank spiritual herbs.

And even now, this can still help cultivators increase their cultivation base. It's an eighth-grade pill, and its value has increased exponentially.

That's exactly why, once he quoted that price, all the other eager participants immediately backed down.

It's not that these people can't come up with something more valuable than this pill, it's just that doing so wouldn't be very profitable. After all, Feng Xuan stones aren't useful to everyone.

For a moment, the entire hall was deathly silent. It seemed to everyone that King Jiao Teng had won the auction.

"Do any of our esteemed guests have further bids"

The beautiful auctioneer asked this, in her heart, she also felt that it was unlikely for someone else to bid again. Her right hand had already reached for the hammer next to her.

"Isn't it just an eighth-grade pill I'll give you two!"

The languid voice was laced with disdain, as if he were not presenting two precious eighth-grade pills, but two stones.

Everyone followed the sound and saw that the one making the bid was a young man.

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he flipped his wrist, and two pills appeared in the palm of his hand. Unlike the one that Jiao Tengwang had taken out before, these were adorned with dazzling dan patterns.

"My goodness, it's actually an eighth-rank pill, and it even has pill patterns..."

"Who is this person To actually possess two eighth-grade pills..."

"Is this guy crazy He actually dares to steal something that the King of Jiao Teng wants. Doesn't he want to leave Paradise Island alive"

People whispered amongst themselves, none of them expecting this young man to actually pull out two eighth-grade pills, and that in front of King Jiao Teng.

Jiaoteng Wang's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold. In his view, this young man was openly defying him.

Ye Bufan, however, was completely unfazed. He looked at him with a smile and said: "I advise you not to bid anymore. When it comes to things other than pills, I've never been afraid of anyone."

With his current alchemy mastery, refining alchemical pills below the ninth rank is as simple as eating and drinking.

And during this time, countless herbs were harvested and used to refine pills without any burden at all.

It took Guang over a hundred pills just to help Wen Susu and the others raise their cultivation levels.

Ye Bufan was telling the truth, but to Jiao Tengwang's ears it sounded like a provocation.

"I offer three eighth-grade pills!"

Jiaotong Wang gritted his teeth, then took out two pills.

"He's really overreaching."

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly, raised his hand and waved, six top-grade pills with danwen floated in front of him.

"Hiss!"

Seeing this, the entire hall was filled with gasps of astonishment.

In the eyes of countless people, trading six eighth-grade high-quality pills for a Wind Profound Stone is completely insane, prodigal, and a direct challenge to the Jiao Teng King!

For Ye Bufan, a Fengxuan stone was more precious than one hundred Bailing pills.

After all, pills are something I can refine at my fingertips, but Fengxuan stones are not something you can find just anywhere.

"You..."

Jiao Tengwang was furious, his eyes blazing with anger. He also believed that Ye Bufan's purpose wasn't the stone, but to humiliate him.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "What's wrong with me Can't I just have a lot of pills"

"Don't look at me like that, or I'll think you're threatening me. But I'm going to report this to the authorities."

"The King of Jiao Teng was so angry that his teeth were grinding together, and he was about to raise the price again, but he was stopped by the old man beside him."

"Master, the domineering emperor grass we have our eyes on hasn't come out yet. Don't be fooled by this kid."

Jia Tengwang let out a cold snort, but in the end he still suppressed the anger in his heart, turning his head to look at the side.

Ye Bufan looked at the beautiful auctioneer on stage with a smile: “This guy has already surrendered, shouldn't we hammer it down”instant, all eyes were drawn to this woman because she was absolutely stunning.Her delicate features, swan-like neck accentuated by the evening gown, seemed even more elegant. Her perfect figure was f...
