Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: What is a Spirit Stone?

However, Ning Fan had tried before, but it seemed that he was limited by Kunlun’s special rules and couldn’t teleport directly out of Kunlun.

Only through a few special teleportation gates could one enter the Secular World from Kunlun.

"Hmm, activate the formation," Ning Fan nodded, "When I leave, you all must not slack off, and must hurry to find any information about Ning Potian."

"Sect Master, rest assured, I will definitely bear your teachings in mind," Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng had already adopted the role of a loyal follower.

Ning Fan entered the formation, while Shuang’er, Huo Erba, and the others were left behind in the Feiyu Sect.

Shuang’er originally wanted to follow, but her cultivation had not yet completely stabilized; if she encountered danger while out, the fluctuations in her realm could easily harm her body.

The same reason applied to Huo Erba.

As for Su Qingcheng, it was simply because she was too weak and knew her own limitations. She understood that following Ning Fan would only hold him back, so she chose to continue her cultivation within the Sect.

"Prepare to activate the Teleportation Formation!"

Following Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng’s command, the Teleportation Formation began to emit a faint glow.

Ning Fan stood in the very center of the formation, giving a firm nod to Shuang’er and the others: "Don’t worry, I will be back soon."

As the glow completely enveloped him, his figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.

...

With the activation of the Teleportation Formation, Ning Fan felt as if he had entered another world.

Within the passage, invisible forces surged like a giant hand enveloping and propelling him forward.

What seemed a slow pace was, in fact, astoundingly fast.

Using his Spiritual Power to calculate, Ning Fan estimated that at this speed, if he were in the outside world, he could directly shatter a mountain peak upon impact!

After an indeterminate amount of time, Ning Fan realized that the pulling sensation was gradually fading away.

When it had completely dissipated, he found himself standing on solid ground.

Looking up, a city appeared before his eyes.

At the city gate, there was a constant stream of bustling people.

In the sky, figures on flying swords descended from time to time, with an air of immortality about them.

Others arrived by unknown teleportation arrays, much like himself, landing outside the city gate.

Of course, there were more who arrived on foot—these solitary cultivators, with insufficient talent to join a Sect, had to rely solely on their own abilities to get to their current level of cultivation.

Even so, they had to invest all their resources into cultivation and naturally couldn’t afford those seemingly impressive magic artifacts.

Ning Fan adjusted his robes, preparing to step into the city.

Just as he reached the entrance, he saw cultivators ahead pulling out something from their bosoms and handing it to the cultivators guarding the gate.

"What are they doing?" Ning Fan furrowed his brows.

The cultivator behind Ning Fan glanced at him and chuckled, "You must be new to adventuring out, right?"

Ning Fan smiled, "How can you tell, fellow Daoist?"

"Humph, just by looking at your attire." The cultivator said proudly, adopting a senior’s posture, "Wearing a disciple’s uniform and not knowing about the entry fee, I presume you must be a Sect disciple sent by your elders to attend this auction?"

Nice one, not a single guess was correct.

Ning Fan bowed his hands in respect and agreed, "The senior’s insight is indeed brilliant; this junior admires you."

"Hehe, but since your Sect sent you out, your talents must be decent," the cultivator said, "My name is Li Yuanhua, a disciple of the Luoyun Sect. May I ask which Sect does the gentleman hail from?"

"I am a disciple of the Feiyu Sect, my mentor..." Ning Fan pondered for a moment, "My mentor is Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng."

"Feiyu Sect’s Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng? Your mentor is the Deputy Sect Master?" Li Yuanhua exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh? You are also familiar with Feiyu Sect?" Ning Fan raised an eyebrow, thinking it was a coincidence to meet someone who knew of Feiyu Sect.

Li Yuanhua nodded, "I have heard of Feiyu Sect. It is said that your Sect Master’s cultivation is extraordinary, having reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and it won’t be long before advancing to the Foundation Establishment Peak! Congratulations are in order!"

Hearing Ning Fan’s identity, Li Yuanhua’s gaze towards him changed.

The disciple of a Deputy Sect Master would definitely not be ordinary.

He would either possess exceptional talent or have a powerful figure standing behind him.

You see, although Feiyu Sect is a Lower-Ranked Sect, just the few Late Foundation Establishment cultivators within the Sect already far surpassed other Lower-Ranked Sects.

Li Yuanhua thought to himself that even including the Sect Master, his own Luoyun Sect only had three Late Foundation Establishment cultivators, inherently weaker than Feiyu Sect.

If he could establish a good relationship with the disciple of the Deputy Sect Master from Feiyu Sect, it would surely bring future benefits!

"By the way, may I ask for your esteemed name, sir?" inquired Li Yuanhua.

Ning Fan didn’t hesitate at all, "My name is Xu Fan; I hope fellow Daoist can provide me with more guidance."

"There’s no need for such courtesy; I dare not presume to teach, it’s merely a mutual exchange of learning," Li Yuanhua changed his previously condescending demeanor and began to enthusiastically explain to Ning Fan.

"Brother Xu must have been cultivating within his Sect and rarely ventured out. The disciples of the Fuguang Sect are the most adept at finding treasures, hence they often hold auction meetings."

"There was originally no charge, but the people of Fuguang Sect spotted a business opportunity and, after consulting with various Sects, began charging an entry fee."

"The fee is not high, just about the price of two Spirit Stones."

Spirit Stone?

Ning Fan was taken aback, not yet familiar with such an object.

Seeing Ning Fan’s reaction, Li Yuanhua also paused in disbelief: "Fellow Daoist might not... know what a Spirit Stone is?"
