Chapter 308: Chapter 303: Purchasing a Residence

Yan Rufeng smiled politely.

"Manager, this hairpin is already top-grade among spiritual artifacts. Since I wish to obtain the hairpin crafted by Senior Nangong, how about I exchange the hairpin I crafted for the one in your shop?"

The shop manager, hearing this, immediately showed respect and said, "Young Master, I can’t bear it. The hairpin crafted by Senior Nangong is far inferior to the one you crafted. I believe it’s better to purchase directly from you!"

Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "I’m not concerned about the quality of the things I want. As long as something catches my eye, I don’t mind paying any price."

"Haha..."

The shop manager laughed heartily and said, "Since Young Master Yan has said so, then I will not be polite..."

Yan Rufeng took the hairpin crafted by Nangong Jin and secretly laughed to himself, "Qingxiao, Jiayao, my good disciples, once your master arrives in the Immortal World and confirms your identities with Dugu Mohan with this hairpin, let’s see how I’ll deal with you two rebels..."

After leaving the shop, the sky had completely darkened.

In the night, a green light flashed, and a communication jade scroll hovered in front of Yan Rufeng.

He spread his divine sense to investigate the jade scroll; it was sent by Xiao Fei.

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly and murmured to himself, "Brother Xiao is indeed unpredictable. Unable to find an inn, he even thought of purchasing real estate here. Let me go and see..."

In the center of Dragon Origin City, at the northeastern corner of a beautiful city within a city, there was a serene and long street shaded by green trees.

At the end of this street stood a mansion, covering an area of about ten kilometers. The mansion comprised a grand hall, ten quadrangular courtyards, hundreds of pavilion buildings, a river flowing through several ponds, and two gardens. Overall, it looked majestic yet elegant.

In front of the mansion, under the lights, Xiao Fei, dressed in white, looked resolute as he spoke to the white-haired old man before him, "Fifty billion top-grade spirit stones, no more."

The white-haired old man paused for a moment and said, "Fifty-five billion, no less!"

Xiao Fei thought for a bit and then said, "Deal!"

When Yan Rufeng arrived, Xiao Fei had already obtained the title deed to the mansion.

Before the two of them entered the mansion, Xu Jiaojiao, who had been notified by Xiao Fei, arrived.

"Wow!"

Xu Jiaojiao exclaimed, "Brother Xiao Fei, we are only staying here for a little over a month. Was it necessary to buy a mansion?"

Xiao Fei smiled and said, "Sister Jiaojiao, I went to three inns, all fully booked. If it weren’t for an old man who was about to ascend to the Immortal World selling his property, I think we would have to sleep on the streets tonight."

"Hehe!"

Xu Jiaojiao smiled charmingly and said, "Just now, I inquired at an inn. They still have two storage rooms available."

"Uh!"

Yan Rufeng’s face turned dark, and he said, "Sister Jiaojiao, we can endure living in storage rooms for over a month, but can you?"

"Hehe..."

Xu Jiaojiao covered her face and laughed, "Brother Rufeng, I didn’t know you care so much about me!"

"Haha!"

Xiao Fei smiled and said, "Now that we have a place to stay, why don’t we go and check out Dragon Origin Trading House? I heard many people will be there tonight!"

Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "Then let us follow Brother Xiao’s suggestion and head to Dragon Origin Trading House now..."

Dragon Origin Trading House was located on a floating mountain in the city. At the top of the grand hall was a giant night pearl, emitting an exceptionally bright light, illuminating the entire mountain as if it were daytime. Below the mountain, a cosmic spacecraft was stationed.

Yan Rufeng and his companions joined the throng of people and arrived at the foot of the mountain where Dragon Origin Trading House stood.

A guard shouted to the crowd, "To enter Dragon Origin Trading House, you must board the cosmic spacecraft and pay one hundred top-grade spirit stones!"

Inside the spacious cosmic spacecraft, there was no available seating. The spacecraft slowly ascended, finally stopping at the entrance of the grand hall at the mountain’s peak.

Inside the grand hall of Dragon Origin Trading House was an extraordinarily vast mustard space, with an open-air auction area that was brightly lit despite the lack of natural sunlight.

The auction venue had fifty thousand seats. Even so, with the incoming rush, some people couldn’t find seats.

Yan Rufeng and his companions did not expect the auction to be this popular. Without securing seats, they had to stand at the back of the crowd.

On stage, a strikingly beautiful woman in a red dress appeared. With a slight twist of her waist and a gentle movement of her red lips, she spoke softly.

"Good evening, guests. Welcome to the auction at Dragon Origin Trading House. I am the auctioneer for tonight, Yu Qi..."

A voice as gentle as a flowing stream sent a shiver through the entire auction hall.

In the crowd, someone immediately shouted, "Little Yu, I love you!"

"Yu Qi, Yu Qi, I like you!"

"Yu Qi, marry me, will you?"

...

In an instant, the admirers of the auctioneer Yu Qi began to shout...

With a smile, Yu Qi gestured for everyone to quiet down.

The auction hall fell silent in an instant.

Yu Qi’s voice, elegant as an orchid in a secluded valley, floated through the air once more.

"Thank you all for your support. Now, let us present the first item for auction tonight, the primary material for crafting a pseudo Immortal Sword, Outer Realm Ice Iron!"

As soon as Yu Qi finished speaking, behind her, on a crystal wall of unimaginable dimensions, a virtual image of the glistening Outer Realm Ice Iron appeared!

The crowd buzzed with excitement, with someone exclaiming, "I didn’t expect the first auction item to be the primary material for crafting a pseudo Immortal Artifact."

"Dang!"

"In the past, items like this were only brought out for auction mid-session. What’s going on tonight?"

"Haha!"

One person sneered, "Isn’t it because of this grand competition?"

"Roar, roar!"

"Looks like there are quite a few good items tonight!"

"Hey!"

Someone shouted, "Yu Qi, what’s the starting bid for this piece of Outer Realm Ice Iron?"

Yu Qi smiled gracefully and said lightly, "The starting bid for the first auction item tonight, the Outer Realm Ice Iron, is ten million top-grade spirit stones!"

"Damn!"

Someone exclaimed in shock, "Why is the starting bid for this piece of Outer Realm Ice Iron so low today? I’ll bid twenty million top-grade spirit stones!"

"Haha!"

"How can you offer twenty million top-grade spirit stones? I’ll bid fifty million top-grade spirit stones!"

"I’ll bid sixty million top-grade spirit stones..."

...

"Damn, sixty million top-grade spirit stones!"

Hearing this price, Yan Rufeng was also taken aback, thinking to himself, "Is Outer Realm Ice Iron really that scarce? In my past life, not even a pseudo Immortal Sword would cost this much..."

Yan Rufeng shook his head and continued to watch.

In the end, the piece of Outer Realm Ice Iron was successfully auctioned off to an old man for a high price of five billion top-grade spirit stones.
