Top-tier Unruly Master

Zhou Ruoran looked at Ding Fan with a face full of gratitude. Although she didn't know how precious a Sixth Grade Pill was, a small pill was worth a Fifth Grade Defensive Artifact and five thousand Spirit Stones. Just from this point alone, that Sixth Grade Pill was incredibly precious.

Ding Fan, in order to repay Zhou Ruoran's kindness, had easily taken out a Sixth Grade Pill...

With such a husband, what more could a wife ask for?

"Is there anything more valuable than this Sixth Grade Pill..." At this moment, the elder hosting the auction routinely asked the crowd.

At this time, the entire auction hall was silent.

After all, a Sixth Grade Pill was rarely even heard of, let alone seen.

"Peach Immortal Sword auctioned for the first time, Peach Immortal Sword auctioned for the second time... Peach Immortal Sword auctioned for the thi..."

"Wait..." Just as the hosting elder was about to finalize the sale, someone in the auction hall stood up again.

The crowd all turned to look, and a short man had gotten up. Since he wore a mask, no one could clearly see his face.

Ding Fan also used his Divine Sense to probe the elder who had stood up to speak.

The aura emanating from that elder was immensely vast; even though he had used a Magic Artifact to conceal his cultivation, as far as Ding Fan could tell with his Divine Sense, this man's cultivation was likely of the Heavenly Level.

Ding Fan was quite puzzled. Heavenly Level cultivators were extremely powerful, and they should not be so easily swayed by a Fifth Grade Artifact of Attack.

"Does this friend have something to ask?" the hosting elder on the stage was also evidently aware of this person's depth, so he asked in a very respectful tone.

"I have taken a liking to that Sixth Grade Foundation Building Pill. Lao Jiu, according to your rules, tell me what I need to do to get this Foundation Building Pill," the standing elder said calmly and composedly with an imposing manner.

Upon hearing this man's words, the crowd could not help but engage in a flurry of discussions.

"This man is so arrogant, he actually wants to intercept the deal!"

"But this person has the capital to be arrogant. His cultivation must be of the Heavenly Level, having the strength to back his confidence."

...

The elder in charge of the auction glanced at the elder and a few traces of difficulty crossed his face. "Senior, this Sixth Grade Foundation Building Pill is intended for someone wanting to purchase the Peach Immortal Sword..."

Before the hosting elder could finish, the short elder flatly said, "If that's the case, it's quite simple. I have a Sixth Grade Artifact of Attack here. I'll just use this Sixth Grade Artifact of Attack to exchange for your Fifth Grade Peach Immortal Sword."

The hosting elder on the stage pondered for a moment. "In that case, it's also possible. However, that Sixth Grade Medicine Pill..."

"Let's just settle it like this. I'll have time to discuss it with your Dragon Snake Island's Island Master later," the short elder said, and promptly took out a Sixth Grade long sword from his bosom.

As soon as the long sword was drawn, it was dazzlingly bright and shiny, causing the people below the stage to exclaim in surprise when they saw the treasure.

In the Ancient Martial World, Artifacts of Attack are extremely precious. The long sword drawn by the short elder was not only an Artifact of Attack but also of a high rank, causing a buzz among the people below the stage.

The short elder was quite domineering; he directly threw the long sword onto the stage, and then with a gesture in the air, the porcelain bottle that was previously in the hands of the hosting elder was taken by the short elder.

Although the hosting elder was somewhat reluctant, he didn't say much, clearly not wanting to provoke the short elder.

Because the short elder forcibly exchanged a Sixth Grade Artifact of Attack for Ding Fan's Foundation Building Pill, the Peach Immortal Sword on the stage naturally became Ding Fan's by default.

Even though there was a slight interlude, Ding Fan didn't mind. He had come for the Peach Immortal Sword in the first place, and as long as he could get it, that was all that mattered.

At this moment, an attendant had already delivered the Peach Immortal Sword to Ding Fan.

The Peach Immortal Sword came with a very simple Sword Sheath adorned with some very strange patterns. Ding Fan drew the Peach Immortal Sword for a brief inspection.

As soon as the Peach Immortal Sword was drawn, it immediately emitted rays of white light and a fearsome aura. Ding Fan was internally awestruck; indeed, it was a fine sword, no wonder it was considered a treasure of the Peach Blossom Immortal Sect.

Ding Fan then handed the Peach Immortal Sword to Zhou Ruoran who was by his side.

Ruoran gently caressed the Peach Immortal Sword with great care. The Peach Blossom Female Sect had saved her life, and now she was able to return the Peach Immortal Sword to them, which was a worthy way of expressing her gratitude for the great kindness the Peach Blossom Female Sect had shown her.

"Ding Fan... thank you..." Ruoran said.

Ding Fan tenderly embraced Ruoran in his arms. "As husband and wife, there's no need to thank each other..."

Ruoran nodded in Ding Fan's embrace, feeling the warmth of his body, and an inexplicable sense of happiness swept through her heart.

"Next, let's introduce this Iron Dustpan... a Second Grade Artifact of Attack... to be exchanged for goods..." At this moment, the elder hosting the auction had already begun to continue selling new treasures.

Ding Fan wasn't particularly interested in the Iron Dustpan; it was quite bulky and had limited attack capability, making it unsuitable for him.

Afterward, the Iron Dustpan was exchanged by someone for materials used in Artifact Refining. Ding Fan didn't mind at all.

Following the previous items, there was nothing else that Ding Fan found to be of any value at the auction; however, there were still people incessantly buying treasures...

Time passed, and the auction brought forth a Fifth Grade Medicine Pill for bidding.

Medicine Pills above Second Grade were already treasures, so the appearance of a Fifth Grade Medicine Pill naturally drew even more attention.

By scheduling the Fifth Grade Medicine Pill towards the latter part, the auction organizers evidently intended to control the pace of the auction.

However, since Ding Fan had previously produced a Sixth Grade Pill, the emergence of the Fifth Grade Pill didn't attract much attention from the crowd.

In the end, the Fifth Grade Pill was purchased by an elderly woman.

"Now, let me introduce to you the next treasure we are going to auction," the elder host said, ready to ramp up the atmosphere of the auction after selling the Fifth Grade Pill.

As the host finished speaking, people stretched their necks, clearly eager to see what treasure was next.

"The next treasure to be presented is the Golden Dragonfly..." the host announced loudly.

The Golden Dragonfly? What is that?

For a moment, the auction venue again buzzed with curious murmurs.

"This Golden Dragonfly is a Magic Artifact created by the Island Master of Dragon Snake Island after an arduous effort. It can attack and defend, and what's most impressive is that it can be controlled with telekinesis," the elder host explained.

After finishing, he closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and just then, the Golden Dragonfly that had been resting on the table suddenly flew up.

The size of the Golden Dragonfly was about the size of a palm, yet it was quite light. It unfolded its wings and soon soared mid-air.

"Kill..." With a sudden shout, the elder host commanded.

The Golden Dragonfly whirled in the air as if receiving an order, and then it darted off with speed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... While everyone was still trying to follow its swift movements, the Golden Dragonfly suddenly split into a swarm of smaller dragonflies.

The swarm, with hundreds of big and small dragonflies, looked dense and numerous.

Bang, bang, bang... Finally, all these dragonflies shot towards a large pillar in the auction venue.

"This treasure is truly wonderful, to think it can be controlled with mental power."

"Indeed, with the ability to control the Golden Dragonfly with telekinesis, if one operates it well, it would be like having an extra helper during a fight."

...

The audience, witnessing the Golden Dragonfly's capabilities, did not hold back their applause and clapped enthusiastically.

"Wow, this treasure is simply too cool," Mu Zi, standing nearby, couldn't help but let his eyes shine brightly upon seeing the artifact.

"The bidding for this treasure will proceed as an exchange of goods..." the elder host on stage announced.

"I am willing to offer a Second Grade Defensive Artifact and add one hundred Crystal Stones to purchase the Golden Dragonfly," someone began bidding at that moment.

"My friend, let's forget about the Second Grade Defensive Artifact. Without a Defensive Magic Artifact of at least Fourth Grade, or an Artifact of Attack above Second Grade, it definitely won't be exchanged," the elder host retorted to the previous bidder.

The person who had made the bid felt a flush of embarrassment and quietly sat down.

"I offer a Second Grade Artifact of Attack!" At that moment, Mu Zi, sitting next to Ding Fan, directly made an offer.

Ding Fan couldn't help but take a second look at Mu Zi, realizing that he genuinely liked the Golden Dragonfly; surely, it must have been the attraction of controlling it with telekinesis that sparked his interest.

"Someone has offered a Second Grade Artifact of Attack, do we have any higher offers?" the elder host scanned the room.

"I offer a Second Grade Artifact of Attack and add a hundred Crystal Stones," a female cultivator stood up and called out the new bid.

Add a hundred Crystal Stones?

Mu Zi's brows furrowed slightly, as the Little Witch had set her sights on the item and wouldn't easily let it fall into someone else's hands.

"I offer a Second Grade Artifact of Attack plus a hundred and twenty Spirit Stones," Mu Zi declared with determination.

Mu Zi's modest increase in his bid by just twenty Spirit Stones was mainly because he only had so much property at his disposal; asking for more was out of the question, hence the incremental addition.

"I'm set on this Golden Dragonfly, no need for dawdling. I offer a Third Grade Artifact of Attack!" a rough-looking man spoke up then.
