Top-tier Unruly Master

Ding Fan had never seen a Heavenly Level Martial Artist, so he was not familiar with their circumstances.

However, from the situation of this elder, Ding Fan discovered that this elder was also about to form a core.

Ding Fan slightly pondered and then understood.

The path of cultivation was indeed the same destination by different paths. This was like Ghost Cultivators, Demon Cultivators, Cultivation, etc.; Martial Cultivation was also a type of cultivation.

After cultivating to a certain level, a core would form in the body. Although the methods of cultivation differed, the meaning was the same. After the core formed in the body, with continuous cultivation of True Qi, it would eventually condense into a Golden Core, and then transform into an infant, becoming a Nascent Soul...

Ding Fan made a simple comparison. He was now at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, and compared to a successor of Ancient Martial Arts, the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation was about the same as the Peak of Earth Level.

From this point of view, Heavenly Level Martial Artists were probably about the same as cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"A Second Grade Spiritual Weapon can indeed be exchanged for this Bloodstone Amber, but I would like to ask if anyone else still wants to exchange for this Bloodstone Amber," declared the elder on the stage with remarkable composure as he surveyed the surroundings.

"I will use a pill in exchange," Ding Fan spoke up at that moment.

Ding Fan was now facing Core Formation, and at this time he could not afford any mistakes, knowing that he was not alone and could not afford accidents, especially since the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy.

Ding Fan continued, "I am willing to offer a Fifth Grade Foundation Building Pill in exchange for this Bloodstone Amber!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, the crowd immediately erupted. It was known that medicine pills above the Second Grade were already very rare, and Ding Fan had offered a Fifth Grade Pill right away.

"Using a Fifth Grade pill to exchange for that Bloodstone Amber... this guy must be crazy."

"I've never heard of any use for Bloodstone Amber, trading a Fifth Grade pill for a rock... such a bad deal."

...

The people around were buzzing with discussion.

However, the elder on stage's eyes brightened. Obviously, the Fifth Grade Pill had truly impressed him.

"Where is the pill?" the elder asked Ding Fan.

Ding Fan immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his storage ring. Someone quickly took the porcelain bottle from Ding Fan's hand and handed it to the elder on the stage.

After receiving the porcelain bottle, the elder slowly opened the lid. As soon as the lid was opened, a rich fragrance wafted out.

Those close to the stage had already smelled the fragrance of the pill.

"It smells so good, this medicine pill is indeed extraordinary!"

"Need you even say it? A Fifth Grade Foundation Building Pill! This is truly a treasure among treasures."...

The surrounding people began to discuss fervently again.

After evaluating for a while, the host elder on stage slowly put the treasure away. "This pill is indeed a Fifth Grade pill!"

As the elder finished speaking, there was a frenzy below the stage.

"Using a Fifth Grade pill to exchange for Bloodstone Amber! Are you crazy!" The elder who wanted to use the Locking Gold Rope to exchange for Bloodstone Amber was quite upset and hit his thigh, then reluctantly sat back down.

The elder understood that his Second Grade Spiritual Weapon could not compare to a Fifth Grade Foundation Building Pill, not even five of his items could match the value of one Fifth Grade Pill.

The host elder on stage continued to speak, "Friend, exchanging a Fifth Grade pill for Bloodstone Amber is too much of a loss for you, do you really have no regrets?"

Ding Fan actually grew more favorable towards this elder.

In such a materialistic society even the people from Hidden Sects were impacted and would do anything for profit.

However, this elder, realizing that his own pill was more valuable than the Bloodstone Amber, still spoke out to remind him, which made Ding Fan respect him all the more.

"The Bloodstone Amber is of great use to me, so I must buy it," Ding Fan stated resolutely.

The elder looked at Ding Fan and then nodded. "If that's the case, I have nothing more to say. In a moment, I'll have my disciple give you three auction Gold Leaves as a token of our appreciation. Although it's not enough to cover the gap, it's a small gesture from our auction."

"Thank you very much," Ding Fan smiled and said to the elder on the stage.

At that moment, an attendant had brought the fist-sized Bloodstone Amber to Ding Fan, who carefully took this treasure. For Ding Fan, obtaining the Bloodstone Amber at this auction meant he had indeed profited.

It was known that even in the Cultivation World, this treasure was very rare, so trading a Fifth Grade pill for it was still a very good deal.

In others' eyes, a Fifth Grade pill was of high level, but for Ding Fan, it was not much, as with the advancement of Ding Fan's cultivation and his increasing study of the Ancient Cauldron, the chances of refining Fifth Grade pills were getting higher.

So in Ding Fan's view, a Fifth Grade pill really was not much.

At that moment, after the attendant had delivered the Bloodstone Amber to Ding Fan, another attendant arrived before Ding Fan, carrying a tray.

On that tray lay three golden leaves. Before Ding Fan had time to pick up those leaves, Mu Zi excitedly gathered them all up.

"Wow! Brother Fan, you're so cool! I'm telling you, these Gold Leaf Blades are extremely hard to come by. That old man actually gave you three all at once, Brother Fan, you really have great influence."

"These Gold Leaf Blades, I will give them all to you," Ding Fan said to Mu Zi.

Originally, coming to this auction was on Mu Zi's advice, and he had prepared all the entrance tickets, so giving these Gold Leaf Blades to Mu Zi also served as a small token of gratitude.

Ding Fan thought it was merely a small favor, but others did not see it that way.

To others, coming to Dragon Snake Island was an arduous task, and acquiring Gold Leaf Blades was even more difficult. The Elder, giving three leaves to Ding Fan, was not merely as simple as three tickets.

Although these three tickets were valued at thirty million, they were gifts from the people of Dragon Snake Island, which held a significantly different meaning.

"Really? Brother Fan, you're giving all these Gold Leaf Blades to me?" Mu Zi asked with twinkling eyes, somewhat in disbelief.

"Really," Ding Fan said.

"Wow! Brother Fan, you're so cool!" While praising Ding Fan, Mu Zi very pettily collected the three leaves.

These Gold Leaf Blades were extremely difficult to obtain. If it weren't for Mu Zi's grandfather having connections all over, Mu Zi couldn't have acquired these three Gold Leaf Blades.

However, what Mu Zi hadn't expected was that Ding Fan would get three Gold Leaf Blades handed to him for free. In Mu Zi's eyes, Ding Fan was so cool he was almost falling apart.

Ding Fan, seeing Mu Zi's happy demeanor, merely smiled. This Little Witch had her eyes on those three leaves the moment they were presented…

"Now, let's auction our second treasure. Our next item for auction is a Mountain Splitting Axe! This axe is a Third Grade Spiritual Weapon. Is anyone interested in a Third Grade Spiritual Weapon Mountain Splitting Axe?"

On the stage, the Elder surveyed the crowd below.

Ding Fan also glanced at the Mountain Splitting Axe.

This Mountain Splitting Axe was an Artifact of Attack, its blade subtly integrated with a Formation. Considering it was a Low Grade Artifact, this axe was considered quite decent.

"Elder, what's the exchange method for this Mountain Splitting Axe? Is it with money or goods?" someone in the audience called out to the Elder at that moment.

After hearing the question, the Elder responded, "For this treasure, it's treasure for treasure, folks! If you have a treasure, feel free to offer it!"

Just then, the crowd below began to eagerly make their offers.

At the Earth Level Martial Artist stage, having a formidable Artifact of Attack during a battle would mean having a significant advantage.

This was why Earth Level Martial Artists were so particular about the Grade Level of their Artifacts of Attack.

"I offer a Kunlun Fan…"

"Damn, do you know what you're doing? That's a Third Grade Spiritual Weapon, and you're offering a trivial Kunlun Fan in exchange? You might as well rob someone on the streets."

...

Although everyone present was keen on the treasures, Ding Fan didn't find them interesting at all; he simply didn't consider artifacts of such level worthy of his attention.

In the end, the Mountain Splitting Axe was exchanged for a Rainbow Cloud Stone.

The auction had only just begun, yet so many treasures were continuously presented, causing all the VIPs in the venue to widen their eyes in anticipation of even better treasures to come.

"Now, the next treasure we will introduce is truly astounding, the Peach Immortal Sword! A Fifth Grade Spiritual Weapon. The exchange method, still, is with a treasure," the Elder announced to the crowd below.

Upon hearing about the Fifth Grade Spiritual Weapon, the crowd instantly boiled with excitement.

A Fifth Grade Spiritual Weapon was practically a rarely seen treasure.

"Peach Immortal Sword!"

At that moment, Ruoran, who had been sitting quietly beside Ding Fan, stared fixedly at the sword displayed beside the Elder.

Ruoran's unusual behavior was naturally noticed by Ding Fan. "What's wrong, Ruoran?"

Ruoran turned her head and continued to stare blankly at the longsword beside the Elder. Following her gaze, Ding Fan took a cursory look, and as if suddenly realizing something, he asked Ruoran,

"Could this Peach Immortal Sword possibly be related to the Peach Blossom Female Sect?"

Ruoran nodded. "The Peach Immortal Sword is the iconic treasure of the Peach Blossom Female Sect. However, very little is known about it because it was stolen many years ago.

The Old Sect Leader gave a strict decree that whoever could retrieve the Peach Immortal Sword could become the leader of the Peach Blossom Female Sect... Ding Fan, the Peach Blossom Female Sect has been good to me, and I want to help them retrieve the Peach Immortal Sword!"
