Chapter 328: Chapter 291 Shocking and Unconventional

Whoosh!

As Ye Fan’s voice rang out, the attention of everyone in the venue immediately focused on him, and a question arose simultaneously in their hearts, "Could it be that Chu Ji is going to bid for the Star Blue for Ye Fan to use?"

Yes!

At virtually the same time, they came up with the same answer.

Because they were very clear that when Chu Ji dominated the number one spot on the Qing bang, she was already at the Innate Great Perfection realm. After so many years, she had long reached the limit of Innate Great Perfection.

And for cultivators to break through from Innate Great Perfection to the Gang Qi realm, they relied entirely on insights into martial arts and spiritual cultivation. External objects were of no use—the Star Blue, which other cultivators dreamt of obtaining, had an insignificant effect on Chu Ji!

"Although I’ve long heard that Demon Queen Chu Ji treats Ye Fan well, I never thought she would actually help Ye Fan bid for the Star Blue."

"Yeah, although the Nirvana Pill is not as precious as the Star Blue, it is still a high-level elixir, which only an Innate Mage skilled in alchemy can refine. Moreover, its main ingredient, Yang Qi Essence, is extremely rare!"

"If only I had such an aunt..."

As the answer emerged, those cultivators below the stage discussed enviously and jealously, feeling as if they would love to immediately take Ye Fan’s place and become Chu Ji’s nephew.

"Hiss~"

While the venue was abuzz with discussion, Nolan Xuan, the martial arts genius of the Nolan clan, was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Although the Nolan family was the number one clan in the Northeast and had a significant reputation in the martial arts world, the entire clan did not have a single Mage and therefore could not refine high-level elixirs like the Nirvana Pill.

Before this auction, the head of the Nolan family, Nolan Yide, found out through a special channel that someone was going to exchange Plant Essence for Nirvana Pills at this auction. So, he reluctantly used a precious piece of Black Iron that the Nolan family had acquired and exchanged it for three Nirvana Pills from Bai Di, the martial arts prodigy of the Bai Family.

He intended to exchange a Plant Essence for Nolan Xuan during this auction to enhance his strength!

Under such circumstances, just as Nolan Xuan was about to exchange for the Plant Essence with his two Nirvana Pills, Ye Fan, this Cheng Yaojin, suddenly popped up and bid three pills...

This meant that he would lose the qualification to bid for the Plant Essence!

"Mr. A6 bid three Nirvana Pills, does anyone else offer more?"

As Nolan Xuan twitched with anger, Long Yue once again spoke up, scanning the cultivators seated below stage one by one.

No response.

The vast auction venue fell silent.

"Three Nirvana Pills for the first time!"

"Three Nirvana Pills for the second time!"

"Three Nirvana Pills for the third time!"

"Clang!"

Half a minute later, as a crisp sound rang out, the bidding for the Star Blue ended, and Long Yue smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. A6 for winning the bid for the Star Blue with the offer of three Nirvana Pills!"

"Damn it!"

As he saw the bird that was almost in his mouth fly away, Nolan Xuan, the martial arts talent of the Nolan clan, trembled with rage, cursing endlessly in his heart. His furious gaze seemed as if it wanted to tear Ye Fan into pieces.

"Hmph, Chu Ji really thinks highly of this bastard."

At the same time, Ye Long was suffused with a feeling of sour grapes, but then he sneered to himself when he remembered that Hong Lie had given him three plants of Plant Essence to exchange for the Black Iron Gloves, "This bastard is just at the Early Innate Realm and has the combat power of the Peak of Innate. Even if he takes the Star Blue, he won’t possibly be my opponent! Once I get my hands on the Black Iron Gloves, killing him will be as easy as slaughtering a chicken!"

"Mr. A6, according to the auction rules, after the auction ends, you need to bring three Nirvana Pills to the trading hall to exchange for the Star Blue. If you fail to produce the three Nirvana Pills by then, Mr. D2 will make the exchange instead."

Although she understood that Ye Fan, being the nephew of Chu Ji, could not possibly fail to produce the Nirvana Pills, Long Yue still reminded him of the auction rules.

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Long Yue."

Ye Fan nodded his thanks, then politely inquired, "Miss Long Yue, may I ask if the owner of the Star Blue is present at today’s auction?"

Hmm?

What is he planning to do?

Taken aback by Ye Fan’s question, not just Long Yue herself, but also the other cultivators showed puzzled looks.

"I am Meng Ke, the owner of the Star Blue."

Shortly afterward, before the crowd could figure out his intention, a tall and burly black man stood up from seat D10.

"So, it’s Meng Ke!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd turned their gaze toward Meng Ke, showing signs of realization.

While Meng Ke may not have been a member of the Huaxia martial arts community, his reputation in the Huaxia martial arts world was not small.

For he was the leader of the ’Adventurer’ mercenary group, ranked second in the world, and possessed Half-step War God realm strength!

In the Five Great Alliances, cultivators were categorized as Warrior Level, War General Level, and War God Level, corresponding to the Postnatal Realm, Innate Realm, and Gang Qi Realm of the Huaxia Martial Arts World, respectively.

With Half-step War God level strength, Meng Ke was equivalent to a Half-step Gang Qi realm cultivator in the Huaxia Martial Arts World, which made him an absolute strong person!

"Hello, Mr. Meng Ke."

Having undertaken missions in the other Five Great Alliances many times, Ye Fan was already well aware of Meng Ke’s reputation and stood up to give Meng Ke a fist salute from his seat as a sign of respect.

"Do you have an objection to the recent auction?" Meng Ke frowned as he looked at Ye Fan, subconsciously assuming that Ye Fan had objections to the auction, which somewhat displeased him.

"Of course not."

Ye Fan quickly shook his head and explained, "My question just now was to make sure if the owner of the Star Blue still has any other Plant Essences."

"Oh?" Meng Ke looked at Ye Fan with some surprise and asked, "Do you want to exchange for Plant Essence?"

"Yes, Mr. Meng Ke. If you still have Plant Essence, I am willing to exchange it for Nirvana Pills, using the bidding price just now as a standard, three Nirvana Pills for one Plant Essence!" Ye Fan nodded.

Whooosh—

Startled by Ye Fan’s reply, the auction hall was once again abuzz.

Although Ye Fan was the one who had just bid, everyone believed it was Demon Queen Chu Ji who intended to bid for the Star Blue on behalf of Ye Fan.

Originally, considering that the Nirvana Pills were also extremely precious, the ’actions’ of Demon Queen Chu Ji had taken everyone by surprise, and now hearing that Ye Fan wanted to use Nirvana Pills to exchange for Plant Essence directly shocked them!

After all, that was the Nirvana Pill that could heal injuries in a very short time...

Not a cabbage you could find just anywhere on the streets!

"I do have more Plant Essence, but do you have more Nirvana Pills to offer?" Not only the cultivators below, but even Meng Ke himself was taken aback.

Magicians overseas are also known as Wizards, and when it comes to strength, they are on par with the Huaxia Martial Arts World, but because the secret methods for Elixir crafting originated from traditional Chinese medicine, almost none of the wizards abroad know how to perform alchemy.

This directly makes Elixir Pills far more precious in the other Five Great Alliances than in the Huaxia Martial Arts World.

As the leader of the adventurer mercenary group, Meng Ke boasted not only strong personal power but also eight capable assistants.

Some time ago, he led his eight assistants on an expedition to the South American Alliance, only to encounter a mutant beast in the forest, a result of absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Though he and his men eventually killed the mutant beast, the loss was heavy—excluding himself, the other eight assistants were all seriously injured!

To treat his men, Meng Ke had to travel the distance to Yanjing, reluctantly exchanging the Plant Essence Star Blue for the miraculously healing Nirvana Pill.

Originally, he thought it would be fortunate to even exchange for two or three Nirvana Pills, but now Ye Fan, who had just bid for the Star Blue, was going to exchange for Plant Spirit!

"I do have more Nirvana Pills, and if you agree, we can make the exchange right now," Ye Fan said with a smile.

"I have two more Plant Essences. If you can take out another six Nirvana Pills, they’re yours," Meng Ke replied after pondering briefly.

While Plant Essence is precious, Meng Ke was already a strong person at the Half-step War God level, and consuming it would have little effect on him.

The Nirvana Pill could not only treat his subordinates but also serve as a life-saving talisman for the future—if he were injured in combat, he could completely heal his wounds with the Nirvana Pill, thereby maintaining his combat strength!

"Whizz Whizz Whizz Whizz Whizz Whizz..."

Upon hearing Meng Ke’s words, Ye Fan’s heart stirred. With a flip of his hand, the bottle containing the Nirvana Pills appeared. As the bottle’s cap opened, six pills, white with a reddish hue, flew out from the bottle. Under Ye Fan’s telekinetic control, they magically floated in front of him, "Mr. Meng Ke, these are the six Nirvana Pills!"

"Uh..."

The cultivators below were dumbstruck, their eyes fixed on the six floating Nirvana Pills like statues, motionless.

And... Nolan Xuan in seat D2 turned as pale as a ghost!

After failing to win the Star Blue, his anger was also tinged with regret for not directly bidding three Nirvana Pills—he thought that Ye Fan probably only had three Nirvana Pills and if he bid three, Ye Fan would’ve had no chance!

Now, watching Ye Fan casually take out another six Nirvana Pills, his regret turned to despair!

It wasn’t just Nolan Xuan; Ye Long’s face also looked extremely ugly.

Originally, Ye Long thought that even if Ye Fan consumed one Plant Essence, he could still kill Ye Fan as easily as slaughtering a chicken, but now Ye Fan was about to exchange for three Plant Essences all at once...

Three!

This was the optimal number of Plant Essences for a cultivator to consume, allowing for the maximum efficacy of the Plant Essence, with any more consumption resulting in greatly diminished effects.

Ye Long, who had once ingested a Plant Essence, was crystal clear about this.

At the same time, he knew that if Ye Fan had not consumed any Plant Essence before, with these three Plant Essences, advancing to the Peak of Innate Realm would be no difficulty at all!

Once Ye Fan stepped into the Peak of Innate Realm and wielded the Wudang Sect’s magical weapon, Taiyi Xuan Sword, he would possess the power to challenge him!

This was a blow to him no less devastating than to Nolan Xuan!

"How could Demon Queen Chu Ji provide so many Nirvana Pills for this bastard?"

While feeling deeply struck, Ye Long couldn’t help but cast his gaze toward Chu Ji.

Why?

Woosh!

Woosh!

Woosh!

One after another, the cultivators turned their gazes towards Chu Ji, harboring the same doubt in their hearts.

"If they knew that Xiao Fan was the one who crafted the Nirvana Pills, their expressions would be even more spectacular, wouldn’t they?"

Noticing those surprised and questioning glances, Chu Ji thought to herself, her originally charming face blooming with a radiant smile. (To be continued.
