The Dao Fruit Auction was being held here. To participate in this auction, there was a strict cultivation requirement. One had to be at least at the fifth level of Vein Opening.
Within the palace, there was a copper lamp burning with violet flames every ten steps, and it was eternally bright. Without exception, all of those copper lamps were Magic Treasures of high quality.
Along the way into the auction house, Ning Fan sighed in admiration. Using magical treasures as lamps, this Godly Void Pavillion's wealth was not small. It was indeed worthy of being an ancient power mentioned in the Immortal Emperors memories.
Next to Ning Fan, there was a person sent by Nangong to lead the way.
This person wore an azure robe and was the son of Nangong. His name was Nan Wei, and he had cultivated to the half-step Harmonious Spirit realm. He was an inner disciple of the Sinister Sparrow School. Today, he specially came back to Seven Apricot City to see the Dao Fruit Auction.
Nan Wei's personality was bold and unrestrained. He only met Ning Fan for a short while, but he already had a deep conversation with him. Along the way, he was like a chatterbox, talking non-stop with a bit of the demeanor of an old monster. His enthusiasm made Ning Fan a bit unaccustomed.
Does Young Lord know, this blue ice has a great origin, I heard
Does Young Lord know, why this purple flame never extinguishes, I heard
Young Lord, look, there is a beauty over there, this waist, this figure
Young Lord, why aren't you saying anything
I heard that Brother Nan is an inner disciple of the Sinister Sparrow School? Ning Fan finally opened his mouth and continued the conversation.
Yes, for this Dao Fruit Auction, this little brother specially came back from the main school. Oh right, from the Sinister Sparrow School, besides this little brother, there is another person that came to Seven Apricot City. Does Young Lord know who it is?
"Who?" Ning Fan casually asked with an uninterested appearance. He was not like a young man, but more like an old man.
It is a beauty. Nan Wei was fascinated.
"Oh." Ning Fan answered indifferently. He had little interest in beauties.
Eh, is Young Lord really the City Lord's disciple? Why is his personality so cold? Young Lord should know, that beauty and Young Lord have a great relationship. She is the fiancee that the City Lord chose for Young Lord.
"Uh …"
Ning Fan raised his eyebrows and was speechless. When did the old monster choose a fiancee for him? Didn't he already have Zhihe?
"City Lord joined the Sinister Sparrow Sect forty years ago and made an agreement with the Sect Master that if he accepted a disciple in the future, he would let the disciple marry the Sect Master's daughter
"Forty years ago? Is this the betrothal that Old Monster arranged for me? Ning Fan felt a headache coming on.
Forty years ago, he wasn't even born yet, and he had nothing to do with the old monster, yet he was already betrothed to him.
"The daughter of the Sinister Sparrow Sect's sect master, Lan Mei, has a peerless beauty, and because of her status, she has many suitors. However, this woman was proud and arrogant. She rarely spoke to men and had always been dissatisfied with this child betrothal. If she sees Young Lord, I'm afraid she will make things difficult for Young Lord. When that time comes, Young Lord just needs to accommodate her a little … "
Nan Wei kindly reminded Ning Fan. He kept blinking his eyes at Ning Fan. His meaning was clear.
Men should coax women. Accommodating a little wouldn't make them lose a layer of skin. Only with thick skin could they capture a beauty's heart.
"Are we still going to accommodate her?" Ning Fan knitted his brows. He did not like arrogant women. Thus, he did not pay too much attention to this child marriage.
After entering the inner palace, the lighting was slightly dim. The inner palace of the Auction Palace was divided into three floors. The seats were arranged in a ring shape, and in the center was a crystal stage used to display the auction items. The auctioneer was none other than himself.
This time, he would be the host of the auction. He would be the one to handle this grand scene, and this was also the deliberate arrangement of the old monster.
Compared to the disciples of the sects who followed the conventional path of cultivation, the old monster clearly wanted to train a disciple that could take charge of everything.
Even though Ning Fan had not cultivated for long, because of the hard life during his childhood, he was very clear about the ways of the world. He also had the memories of the Immortal Emperors, so he did not have stage fright.
The auction had not yet begun. Ning Fan's eyes lightly swept across the inner palace.
The seats on the first floor were all Vein Opening cultivators. Only Harmonious Spirit cultivators were qualified to sit on the second floor.
The third floor was for Gold Core old devils, and there were only three people sitting there! The seats of these three old devils were separated by jade curtains that could block vision and divine sense. One could not see the appearance of the Gold Core old devils.
At the entrance to the second floor, there was a clamor as if something had happened.
The maids that received the guests in the palace were all cultivators. Each of them were as beautiful as flowers and jade with enchanting clothing.
They belonged to the Godly Void Pavilion and seemed to have a natural arrogant temperament. Towards Vein Opening cultivators, they would only coldly point the way. Only towards Harmonious Spirit cultivators would they reveal a slight smile, but that was it. Only when facing Gold Core old devils would they say a few polite words.
At this moment, two maids were coldly blocking in front of a young girl in blue. The young girl in blue wanted to go up to the second floor, but the Godly Void Pavilion Lord had ordered that those who had not reached Harmonious Spirit could not go up to the second floor. No matter what, they would not let her go up.
Sorry, the master has ordered that those who have not reached Harmonious Spirit cannot go up to the second floor! The two maids arrogantly said.
The young girl in blue frowned and said: I am half-step Harmonious Spirit, and with this command token, can I go up? My school's elder is up there. I have something I need to find him for, can the two of you make an exception
The young girl in blue waved her hand, and a black jade command token with the totem of the Dark Sparrow engraved on it appeared.
The nearby cultivators sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw the token. Even a few Harmonious Spirit old monsters who passed by had their eyes filled with uncertainty when they saw the token.
This is Sinister Sparrow Sect's young master's token! This young girl in blue has this token, could she be the daughter of Sinister Sparrow Sect's master?
If that's the case, she should have the qualifications to go up to the second floor
Unfortunately, the two maids came from the Godly Void Pavilion and simply did not care about Sinister Sparrow Sect's face. They did not even look at the command token. Their expressions were the same as before, and their tone was still cold. Master has ordered that those who have not reached Harmonious Spirit cannot go up to the second floor!
The young girl in blue frowned even tighter. She didnt expect that this Godly Void Pavilion would be so unreasonable. She could not help but faintly sigh.
Behind her was a young master in white. Seeing the young girl in blue sigh, he immediately stepped forward and waved his folding fan. An early Harmonious Spirit aura immediately spread out and directly pressed down on the two maids.
Mere maids, how dare you look down on my Sinister Sparrow Sect's young master, courting death!
The moment the aura was released, the two maids' lips were bleeding, and their beautiful eyes were filled with anger. The young master in white wanted to make a move, but was stopped by the young girl in blue.
Forget it, if you don't want to go up then don't. Wait until the auction is over, then find the elder to report this matter Hopefully, the Supreme Void Sect will not act so fast Senior Brother Bai, let's go to the first floor and find a seat.
Humph! Out of respect for Junior Sister, I will spare you this once!
The young master in white spoke arrogantly, but he was still persuaded by the young girl in blue. He turned around and walked towards the seats on the first floor.
When they turned around, they saw Ning Fan's group watching the fun from the side.
The young master in white immediately saw Nan Wei. He was also from the Sinister Sparrow Sect, so they obviously knew each other. However, it seemed like they did not have a good relationship with Nan Wei. He coldly snorted and turned his head away.
As for the young girl in blue, seeing Nan Wei following behind Ning Fan, she couldn't help but carefully examine Ning Fan's cultivation. She found out that Ning Fan was only at the fifth level of Vein Opening, so she felt a bit strange. She wondered why a half-step Harmonious Spirit like Nan Wei would be so respectful towards Ning Fan.
Junior Brother Nan, this is The young girl in blue indifferently asked.
Ah, let me introduce. This is the Seven Apricot Sect's young master, Ning Fan. This is the Sinister Sparrow Sect's young master, Lan Mei Nan Wei finished speaking and winked at Ning Fan. His expression seemed to be saying: This beauty is your fiancee, why are you not going to greet her and get on her good side?
Unfortunately, Ning Fan automatically ignored Nan Wei's expression and only nodded towards Lan Mei as a sign of goodwill.
As for Lan Mei, after hearing Ning Fan's identity, she suddenly frowned and asked: You are Alchemist Han's disciple, Ning Fan?
Oh? You know me? Ning Fan was a bit surprised. He had only cultivated the evil path for a few days, but his name had already spread to the Sinister Sparrow Sect?
I didn't know at first, but after coming to Seven Apricot City, I found out Ning Fan, I hope you understand one thing. It is impossible between you and me. I only like strong people I hope that when you arrive at the Sinister Sparrow Sect in the future, you will not pester me. Lan Mei's tone was indifferent without any humiliation. There was only a coldness that kept people at a thousand miles away.
Why would I pester you? Ning Fan slightly smiled and asked in reply. He brushed past her and Nan Wei hurriedly followed.
There were thousands of women in this world, it was not only her, Lan Mei. This girl was thinking too highly of herself.
Ning Fan's indifference made Lan Mei slightly surprised, but she didn't say anything.
No matter what, she wouldn't accept the marriage arranged by her father. She had her own reasons, but she wouldn't tell outsiders. In the end, she and Ning Fan had nothing to do with each other.
The white-robed young master behind Lan Mei didn't interrupt, but he heard the entire conversation between the two. He looked at Ning Fan's back and narrowed his eyes dangerously as he said with disdain.
"Little Junior Sister, is this your fiancé? Hehe, fifth level Vein Opening cultivation, not much. How about you consider Older Brother? Older Brother is already a Harmonious Spirit expert, so he is worthy of you, but he is not!
Sorry, Older Brother, I am not interested in him, and I am not interested in you. I am not interested in men. Lan Mei rubbed her forehead and really wanted to tell the white-robed young master her thoughts.
If the school lord forces you to marry him, you will really have to marry him! The white-robed young master unhappily said.
If I can't refuse, then I can only marry him. Lan Mei said with a bit of melancholy.
Why?! He is only at the fifth level Vein Opening, how can he be worthy of you! This marriage is extremely absurd! The white-robed young master fiercely stared at Ning Fan's back, wishing he could cut Ning Fan into a thousand pieces.
Lan Mei, whom he tried so hard to pursue, unexpectedly had a marriage with Ning Fan. This was truly unacceptable!
Suddenly, the white-robed young master saw an unbelievable scene.
Ning Fan and Nanwei, under the respectful gaze of the two maids, went up to the second floor. Only Harmonious Spirit cultivators could go up to the second floor!
What is the meaning of this! Didn't you say that those without a Harmonious Spirit cultivation cannot go up? How can he go up! The white-robed young master angrily said.
Young Master Ning is the auctioneer of this auction. In this auction palace, where can he not go? The two maids looked at the white-robed young master like they were looking at an idiot.
He is the auctioneer? Impossible! How can a mere fifth level Vein Opening host such an important auction! Does he have this kind of experience?! Can he suppress all the cultivators here! The white-robed young master coldly snorted.
The blue-robed girl had a strange expression.
A mere fifth level Vein Opening was able to host such an important auction. It seemed like his fiance's ability was not bad.
On the second floor of the auction palace, Ning Fan took Nanwei around the second floor and then went back to the first floor as if nothing had happened.
While passing by the seats of the Heavenly Beast Schools, Ning Fan inadvertently glanced at Wu Dongnan from the Heavenly Beast Schools and memorized this person's appearance in his mind.
This was the person who was scheming for his Zhihe! Hmph! Courting death!
Ning Fan flicked his finger, and a few red powder fell from his fingernail. It turned into a wisp of fragrance and fell on Wu Dongnan's body.
This powder was an ancient secret medicine that Ning Fan specially made before coming to the auction. It was specifically used to track enemies. A wisp of hallucination fragrance could travel one thousand miles. As long as Wu Dongnan was not more than one thousand miles away from Ning Fan, Ning Fan could use a special method to keep track of Wu Dongnan's whereabouts.
Until the fragrance dissipated!
He went up to the second floor in order to make a move against Wu Dongnan. Once the auction was over, Ning Fan would make his move.
Nanwei felt very strange. He didn't know why Ning Fan went up to the second floor, but he tactfully didn't ask.
His father, Nangong, repeatedly told him that the young lord was not as simple as he looked on the surface and couldn't be judged with common sense.
Okay, I have to go preside over the auction. Brother Nan, go back first and tell Yuchi and Situ that everything is ready. Once the auction is over, we will make our move! Ning Fan's tone was very light, but there was a hint of murderous intent that vaguely appeared.
Nanwei didn't know what Ning Fan was talking about, but he still nodded and ran to pass on the message.
Time slowly passed by, and the auction palace was filled with cultivators. However, with a loud bang, the doors of the auction palace closed. Inside the auction hall, one thousand five hundred copper lamps lit up with a purple flame at the same time, brightly illuminating the hall.
On the crystal platform, an old man coughed twice and released the aura of an early Gold Core cultivator, causing the entire place to become silent.
Countless cultivators gasped. They didn't expect that the host of today's auction would be a Gold Core old devil!
Gold Core old devils, even in the entire Yue Country, were extremely rare experts!
The Godly Void Pavilion was very generous, using a Gold Core old devil as the auctioneer!
This old man is Yun Xiu, under the order of the Godly Void Pavilion Lord, I came here to be the vice auctioneer
The words of the Gold Core old man shocked everyone.
Auctioneers were divided into vice and vice? If the vice auctioneer was a Gold Core old devil, then how could the auctioneer be a Nascent Soul old devil!
Nascent Soul!?
Thinking of these two words, no one didn't suck in a cold breath. This was an expert that only a powerful cultivation country could have. Among the top ten experts of the Yue Country, there were good and evil, but none of them could break through to the Nascent Soul realm!
In the Yue Country, a Gold Core cultivator was the strongest. If they could see the elegance of a Nascent Soul senior in this auction, then it would absolutely be the fortune of three lifetimes!
But unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed because the auctioneer on the crystal platform was not a Nascent Soul expert, but Ning Fan.
Why is it a fifth level Vein Opening junior!? Is he the auctioneer?
Are you kidding me!? Such an important auction, letting a junior preside over it, can he even do it!?
Shh! I heard that Old Monster Han accepted a disciple, it seems to be this person? What is his name again, let me think
Hmph, who cares who he is! Even if he is the old monster's disciple, he still does not have the qualifications to come here!
Get out! This is not a place for you to play!
The auction palace was suddenly in an uproar. Even the three Gold Core old devils on the third floor frowned.
What is the Godly Void Pavilion doing How could they let a Vein Opening junior preside over such an important auction?
One had to know that the entire Yue Country was paying attention to this Dao Fruit Convention Was the Godly Void Pavilion not afraid that such a grand auction would be ruined by a junior!
On the second floor of the venue, Nangong looked at Ning Fan's expression from afar. Seeing Ning Fan's calm demeanor and not weak in front of a Gold Core old devil, he smiled and nodded. After hearing Nan Wei's report that Ning Fan seemed to want the Apricot Guards and Sword Guards to prepare for some action, Nangong's eyes slightly flashed, but in the end, he only smiled.
It seemed like the young lord did not disappoint him and was preparing to kill Wu Dongnan after the auction.
This disciple of the city lord was not bad at all!
The vice auctioneer named Yun Xiu normally had his eyes on the top of his head. Even when facing Harmonious Spirit cultivators, he would look at them like they were juniors and would not speak politely.
But after Ning Fan arrived, Yun Xiu's gaze towards Ning Fan was strangely respectful!
So much so that when Ning Fan stepped onto the crystal platform, Yun Xiu consciously took a few steps back and stood behind Ning Fan, implying that he was under Ning Fan The crowd was all amazed. What kind of magical power did Ning Fan have to make a Gold Core old devil so respectful!
Ning Fan was also very surprised and did not understand why a Gold Core Yun Xiu would be so respectful towards him.
Something abnormal was definitely a demon, and he did not know what was behind this respect
Hehe, Young Noble Ning, please preside over the auction. Yun Xiu laughed and said.
En. I am Ning Fan, the disciple of Alchemist Han, the young lord of Seven Apricot City. Today, I am representing my master to preside over this Dao Fruit Auction. First, I will announce the rules of the auction. First …
Ning Fan had not finished speaking when the young noble in white robes next to Lan Mei suddenly sneered and said, What are you blabbering about, hurry up and start the auction. We did not come here to listen to a Vein Opening junior's nonsense!
The young noble in white robes was a Harmonious Spirit cultivator, so his words carried some weight. He was jealous of Ning Fan, so he wanted to humiliate Ning Fan at this moment.
But as soon as he finished speaking, his expression greatly changed.
On the crystal platform, Ning Fan's cold as a sword gaze floated over. Suddenly, there was an ink-black aura of fire sweeping across the entire auction palace!
All of the Vein Opening cultivators here felt a sense of crisis from this black flame. Even a few Harmonious Spirit old devils revealed a look of dread towards Ning Fan.
Sure enough, this Vein Opening junior was not as simple as he looked on the surface
Others were only affected by the black flame's aura, but the young noble in white robes was at the center of the aura. Even with his Early Harmonious Spirit cultivation, he immediately felt a pain in his chest and coughed out blood.
How is this possible! He is only a Vein Opening cultivator, how could he injure me in one strike! The young noble in white robes was tongue-tied. At this moment, all eyes were focused on Ning Fans body with extreme dread.
First, those who dare to cause trouble in this auction will be killed without mercy! Ning Fan's tone was calm, but this time, the entire auction house was silent.
Obviously, Ning Fans strength had obtained the recognition and respect of the participants.
On the third floor, aside from the three Gold Core old devils, there was also a black-clothed girl with a veil covering her face. Her eyes carried a sly smile.
