The eyes of the four people in the hall instantly focused on Ning Fans body.
The eyes of the beast-robed young man were filled with cold intent. The other three Void Refinement Realm experts, on the other hand, were all shocked. Their hearts were filled with monstrous waves.
"Who exactly is this person, and what abilities does he have? He actually managed to block Yuan Tong's battle intent attack with his Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base! "
According to the knowledge of the three of them, the young man in beast robe was called Yuan Tong, and he was the disciple of the Ape Emperor with a cultivation at the Origin Returning Void Realm. A single strike of his battle intent was something that few cultivators of the same cultivation could resist.
However, Ning Fan was able to block it with just his Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base. It was really unbelievable.
Ning Fan's eyes scanned across the main hall. When he saw the four Void Refinement Realm experts in the hall, he did not say anything.
Behind him, the Master of the Upper Nine Pavilion calmed himself down, followed them in, and said to the crowd, "This is Fellow Cultivator Bai Mu. This time, he came to our pavilion for the same purpose as all of you, for the Purple Quality Fishing Rod."
"White Wood!"
This time, everyone's expression changed slightly, including the beast-robed young man.
Bai Mu of the Light Feather Clan was a Void Inquiry Stage expert. When he entered Heaven Primordial City, he was welcomed by four Void Fragmentation Realm cultivators, which attracted the attention of many old monsters.
However, after that, someone found out that this Bai Mu was born in the Light Feather Clan, a demon race at the end of the current generation. Thousands of years ago, he was infamous for his viciousness. Due to his low strength, he was once chased by a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator for a whole year and he did not even have the strength to fight back. Then, he was expelled from the clan and became a laughing stock …
No one knew whether Ning Fan was infamous or not.
However, none of them believed that Ning Fan's strength was weak.
It was especially so for the young man in beast robes. His battle intent divine ability was extraordinary. Few people at the same level as him could break it. However, Ning Fan broke it with just a raise of his hand.
The young man in beast-robes was certain that Ning Fan's strength was not weak at all. Instead, he was extremely strong and should not be underestimated.
However, it was just not to be underestimated. It was not worthy of the beast-robed young man's attention.
He was Yuan Tong, the dignified disciple of the Ape Sovereign. His talent was enough to enter the top three of the Ape Hall. Among the young geniuses of the Beast World, he was a famous character.
Naturally, he would not put Ning Fan, who was a nobody, in his eyes.
Yuan Tong placed his palm on his storage pouch. He wanted to take out some magical treasures to teach Ning Fan a lesson to avenge his divine ability.
At this moment, the Upper Nine Pavilion Master coughed softly and said with a slightly displeased expression, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, this is Tianyuan City. This is the Dragon Fishing Convention, and the Old Primitive Emperor has ordered that private fights are not allowed in Tianyuan City. Anyone who disobeys will be killed! "
Hearing that, Yuan Tong's face changed slightly. He realized that this was Palace Yuan's territory and it wasn't his territory. Hence, it wasn't appropriate for him to make a move.
Ten thousand years ago, there was once an old monster who was at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm who thought that he had a profound cultivation base and killed a few people in Tianyuan City. As a result, he was killed by the old Primitive Emperor in the city the next day. His corpse was hung on the city gate and it shocked the entire Demon World.
For nearly a thousand years, the Old Primitive Emperor rarely showed his face. It was said that he had obtained a rare treasure, and with the power of the treasure, he was trying his best to break through to the Life Immortal Realm.
As long as the Old Yuan Emperor was in charge of the Yuan Palace, even Yuan Tong wouldn't dare to ignore the Old Yuan Emperor's prestige and act recklessly in Tianyuan City.
Yuan Tong retracted the cold light in his eyes and did not look at Ning Fan again, as if he had forgotten the unhappiness he had just now.
Ning Fan also ignored Yuan Tong. He chose a seat and sat down. Then, he cupped his fists towards the three Void Refinement Realm cultivators beside him.
Inwardly, he began to ponder.
Ning Fan had observed countless people. With just a glance at Yuan Tong, he knew that he must be an outstanding junior of some great force.
This person might seem arrogant and unruly, but as soon as he heard that the Old Yuan Emperor forbade private fights in the city, he immediately stopped …
The ferocious might of the Old Yuan Emperor is really terrifying.
At first, Ning Fan was thinking that if he couldn't get his hands on the last fishing rod, he would snatch one in the city.
But now, it seemed like snatching the fishing rod was something that he absolutely could not do. Once he does it, he would certainly anger the Old Yuan Emperor.
Since Ning Fan had the means to protect himself, he might not be killed by the Old Yuan Emperor.
However, it would be impossible for him to participate in the Dragon Fishing Meet under the nose of Palace Yuan.
"All private fights are forbidden in Tianyuan City. In that case, I must get my hands on the last fishing rod of the Upper Nine Pavilions." Ning Fan pondered and said.
The elderly man, the burly man and the beautiful lady had witnessed Ning Fan's capabilities. Thus, they naturally did not dare to be disrespectful. Similarly, they cupped their fists and politely returned his greeting.
Seeing that the battle had been resolved, the Upper Nine Pavilion Masters heaved a sigh of relief and said.
"Including Fellow Daoist Bai, there are a total of five Daoists here. Who should I sell the last Purple Grade Fishing Rod to is really giving me a headache …"
"Pavilion Master, you don't have to be troubled. In a transaction, the one who offers the highest price will get it. Among the five of us, the one who offers the highest price will naturally get the last fishing rod. "Yuan Tong smiled confidently.
He had a total of three billion immortal jade with him. All of them were given to him by his master, the Ape Sovereign.
The market price of a Purple Grade Fishing Rod was around one hundred million immortal jade. Even though it would be slightly more expensive to order it, it would not exceed two hundred million.
An ordinary Void Refinement Realm expert who has hundreds of millions of immortal jade would be considered a wealthy person. After all, cultivation was too costly.
Yuan Tong firmly believed that he would not lose to anyone at the scene if he were to compete with immortal jade.
Of course, he did not know that Ning Fan had three trillion immortal jade. His wealth was enough to rival the entire Ape Palace.
"We agree with Fellow Daoist Yuan's opinion. In a transaction, the one who offers the highest price will get it!" The elderly man, the burly man and the beautiful lady smiled confidently.
The three of them had a lot of immortal jade with them. Each of them had seven to eight hundred million immortal jade.
What they did not know was that their measly immortal jade was not even a fraction of Ning Fan's immortal jade.
"I have no objection. The one who offers the highest price will get it. It's only right and proper." Ning Fan said indifferently.
"Alright. Since all of you have the same opinion, I won't say anything more. The last fishing rod will be refined by the most outstanding Tool Refinement Master of our pavilion. This Tool Refinement Master rarely makes a move. However, the Purple Grade Fishing Rod that she refines is definitely the strongest fishing rod in Tianyuan City. It can even catch the legendary Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon. However, the price will naturally not be cheap … "
The Upper Nine Pavilion Master smiled bitterly and continued.
"The price of the Purple Grade Fishing Rod that she refines will cost five hundred million immortal jade. Besides, she has an additional condition. Only by agreeing to this condition will she agree to refine the fishing rod for you … Fellow Daoists, please bid higher than the base price of five hundred million immortal jade. The Tool Refinement Master will refine the Purple Grade Fishing Rod for whoever offers the highest price …"
As soon as he said that, the expressions of the four Void Refinement Realm experts including the beast-robed young man changed.
"Five hundred million immortal jade! It's too expensive! "
"Besides, if we want to ask this person to refine the fishing rod for us, we actually have to agree to her condition. This is just too ridiculous! There are countless weapon refinement workshops in Tianyuan City but none of them have ever asked for additional conditions. "
"The Upper Nine Pavilion Master left the last quota for us to bid for. It seems like he has the intention to raise the price. He said that the last fishing rod can be used to catch the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon … It has been millions of years since anyone managed to catch the legendary dragon souls. Now, it is unknown whether there are still Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon in the Dragon Raising Pond. What's the use of such a good fishing rod? "
Even though the Dragon Raising Pond could raise dragons, cultivators could not enter the water.
The water of the Dragon Raising Pond was mixed with the Realm Breaking Light. Even rogue demons would die if they entered the water. Only the dragon souls that were raised using secret techniques could survive in the pond.
No one knew how many dragon souls there were in the Dragon Raising Pond.
No one knew whether there were Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon in the pond.
The Void Inquiry Stage old man took the lead and said 'farewell' to the Upper Nine Pavilion Master in displeasure. Then, he directly left without staying any longer.
He did not plan to bid for this Purple Grade Fishing Rod anymore.
He was just a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator. He might not be able to get a quota for the Dragon Fishing Convention five days later.
If he failed to get a quota in the end, it would be really unwise to buy such an expensive fishing rod.
It would be better for him to buy a random fishing rod and fight for a quota for the Dragon Fishing Convention calmly.
The Upper Nine Pavilion Master smiled bitterly when he saw an old monster leave after bidding the price of 500 million immortal jade.
The price was indeed a little high. However, it was the price set by his mistress. He had no right to change it.
The Upper Nine Pavilion Master glanced at the four people at the scene.
The Void Pierce Stage burly man and the beautiful woman did not leave. They gritted their teeth slightly and made up their minds. Even if they knew that the fishing rod was expensive, they still had to fight for it.
Yuan Tong's eyes turned slightly serious. Gradually, he put away his astonished expression. 500 million immortal jade was indeed very expensive. However, he could still afford it. He just did not know what other conditions that the master blacksmith had added.
Ning Fan's expression was as calm as an ancient well. He was the only one who was not shocked by the high price of 500 million immortal jade.
Ning Fan never had the concept of money. To him, money was snatched from others and not earned. No matter how much money he spends, he would not feel any heartache.
"May I know what the master blacksmith has added?" Ning Fan asked the Upper Nine Pavilion Master.
"That master blacksmith has a request. If you buy her fishing rod and manage to catch a Yin Dragon and a Yang Dragon, you must lend her two dragon pearls …" The Upper Nine Pavilion Master answered.
"This condition is not too much." The burly man and the beautiful woman nodded their heads. Yuan Tong also heaved a sigh of relief.
It was more than just not too much. In the eyes of the three of them, there was no difference whether this condition was mentioned or not.
Who could catch a Yin Dragon and a Yang Dragon that no one had managed to catch for millions of years?
Ning Fan frowned but he did not say anything else.
The reason he came here this time was for the Yin Yang Dragon Pearls. If he really manages to catch a Yin Yang Dragon Pearl, he would have to lend it to the master blacksmith.
In that case, there would be some more twists and turns.
However, since this master blacksmith was so obsessed with the Yin Dragon and Yang Dragon, the fishing rod that she refined might be helpful in catching the Yin Dragon and the Yang Dragon …
"Fellow Daoists, if you don't have any other questions, you may bid now."
"I'm willing to bid 530 million immortal jade!" The middle-aged burly man was the first to speak.
"Hehe. I'm willing to bid 550 million immortal jade." The beautiful woman smiled with a seductive smile.
"560 million!"
"570 million!"
"600 million!"
The burly man's eyes flashed with ferocity and shouted the price that made his heart ache.
The beautiful woman gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She wanted to bid again but eventually, she sighed and gave up. She smiled bitterly and said, "I give up …"
Seeing that the beautiful woman gave up, the burly man's expression relaxed. He looked at Yuan Tong and Ning Fan. His forehead was covered with sweat.
"Fellow Daoists, are you not going to bid?" The burly man asked nervously.
"700 million!" Yuan Tong revealed a confident smile.
As soon as he heard the high price, the burly man's face immediately turned pale. However, he gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "710 million …"
Just as his voice fell, Yuan Tong said again. "800 million!"
The burly man became silent.
He was not far away from breaking through to the Absolute Void Stage. To him, the Dragon Fishing Convention that was held once every thousand years was the best opportunity to do so.
If he had a Purple Grade Fishing Rod and caught a few high grade dragon souls, it would not be too difficult for him to break through to the Absolute Void Stage!
If he was lucky enough to catch a First Grade Dragon Soul which contained a dragon pearl, he would have a great chance to break through to the Absolute Void Stage in this lifetime.
For this glimmer of hope, he was willing to take a gamble.
"810 million …"
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Tong sneered. "900 million!"
As soon as the price was announced, the burly man stood up abruptly and looked at Yuan Tong in disbelief as if he could not believe that Yuan Tong would bid such a high price.
Then, as if he had lost all of his strength, he fell back onto the chair and said in despair, "Fine. I give up. I'm not going to bid for this fishing rod anymore …"
Not only did he give up on the fishing rod, but his confidence to break through to the Great Dao was also crushed by Yuan Tong.
The beautiful woman lost the bid but her Dao Heart was not damaged.
Since the burly man lost the bid, his Dao Heart was cracked and he lost the confidence to break through to a higher cultivation realm. It would be difficult for him to break through to the Absolute Void Stage in this lifetime …
"900 million immortal jade! This disciple of the Ape Sovereign is really generous. What a ruthless scheme! "
The eyes of the Upper Nine Pavilion Lords were filled with shock.
Each of Yuan Tong's words contained his battle intent ability.
He used the price of 900 million immortal jade to destroy the Dao Heart of the Void Pierce Stage burly man step by step. Not only did he win the bid, but he also left a shadow in the middle-aged burly man's Dao Heart that he would never be able to erase for the rest of his life …
This man is really ruthless!
"Fellow Daoist Bai, aren't you going to bid?" Yuan Tong glanced at Ning Fan arrogantly with a hint of provocation.
He was trying to arouse Ning Fan's battle intent first before destroying his Dao Heart step by step.
The battle intent ability of the Ape Hall could attack a cultivator's Dao Heart and cause it to collapse.
Ning Fan inadvertently glanced at Yuan Tong and his eyes narrowed slightly.
It was a decent battle intent ability but it was useless against him.
On the contrary, he could do the opposite and destroy Yuan Tong's battle intent and confidence step by step.
"910 million." Ning Fan imitated the Void Pierce Stage burly man and only increased the price by 10 million immortal jade.
"1 billion!" Yuan Tong sneered.
"1.1 billion." Ning Fan's expression remained unchanged.
"1.2 billion!"
"1.21 billion."
"1.5 billion!"
Yuan Tong glanced at Ning Fan confidently. From his point of view, the reason why he raised the price step by step was to give Ning Fan a feeling that he was unsurpassable and invincible.
He, Yuan Tong, was unsurpassable and undefeatable.
Once Ning Fan has this kind of mentality, even if it is just a trace of it, Yuan Tong could still destroy Ning Fan's Dao Heart in a single move with the battle intent ability in his words, causing his Dao Heart to collapse!
"At this moment, this young man's face should be as pale as dead ashes just like that burly man." Yuan Tong tried to find a trace of dejection on Ning Fan's face but he realized that his face was still as calm as an ancient well. There was no trace of emotion at all.
"1.51 billion." Then, Ning Fan still only increased the price by 10 million immortal jade. His behavior was silently mocking Yuan Tong.
"1.6 billion!" Yuan Tong's eyes turned grim. The firmness of Ning Fan's Dao Heart was out of his expectation. It was hard to destroy it.
The price had already been raised to 1.6 billion. Even with Yuan Tong's wealth, he found it a little hard to bear.
He did not dare to raise the price by a few hundred million immortal jade at once. It was too much of a loss to spend such a huge amount of immortal jade on a mere Purple Grade Fishing Rod.
"1.61 billion." Ning Fan's voice was still emotionless.
"1.7 billion!"
"1.71 billion."
"1.8 billion!"
"1.81 billion."
。”
Ning Fan continued to raise the price by 10 million immortal jade.
Yuan Tong was purposely raising the price to give others a feeling that he was undefeatable. From this perspective, he wanted to crush his opponent's Dao Heart.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, followed closely behind and approached his prey at a leisurely pace. When he reached Yuan Tong's limit, he defeated him in one go.
Beads of sweat gradually appeared on Yuan Tong's forehead. He had already raised the price to 2.7 billion immortal jade. However, Ning Fan still slightly opened his mouth and raised the price to 2.71 billion immortal jade.
He did it on purpose. This young man must be doing it on purpose!
He obviously has countless immortal jade on him but he insisted on increasing the price by 10 million immortal jade. He purposely gave Yuan Tong an invisible pressure …
"Damn it. If I bid 2.8 billion immortal jade, will this young man add another 10 million immortal jade …?"
When this thought flashed across Yuan Tong's mind, his expression immediately changed.
How is this possible? I am the dignified Yuan Tong. How could I feel a lack of confidence in front of Ning Fan?
To Yuan Tong, having a lack of confidence was extremely fatal!
The battle intent divine ability that he cultivated required the cultivator to have an inextinguishable battle intent. It required the cultivator to have the confidence and courage to challenge the experts in the world.
If his confidence crumbles, his Dao Heart will crack and there will be endless troubles in the future!
To Yuan Tong's shock, he realized that he was unknowingly guided by Ning Fan in this bidding.
Originally, he would never bid 2.7 billion immortal jade.
However, Ning Fan purposely suppressed his opponent's desire to win and followed up slowly. He was preparing to crush Yuan Tong's Dao Heart at the last moment!
"That was close! I almost fell for this kid's scheme! "
"This young man might not have 2.7 billion immortal jade on him but he definitely has the intention to destroy my Dao Heart!"
"I am the disciple of the Ape Sovereign. I only have three billion immortal jade on me. What ability does this young man have to be compared to me?!"
Yuan Tong's eyes turned serious. He suddenly rose to his feet and stared at Ning Fan with a cold expression. Then, he suddenly patted his storage pouch and pointed outside the hall.
All of a sudden, a mountain of immortal jade appeared outside the hall. There was a total of 2.8 billion immortal jade.
"2.8 billion!" He shouted the price and took out the immortal jade in front of Yuan Tong.
He turned his head to look at the Upper Nine Pavilion Masters and said. "I suspect that Bai Mu is purposely raising the price so that I will buy the fishing rod at a high price. I don't believe that he has 2.7 billion immortal jade. "
At this moment, the Upper Nine Pavilion Masters were already extremely shocked. The burly man and the beautiful woman were also breathing rapidly. They were so shocked that they could not speak a word.
A fishing rod that was worth one hundred million immortal jade in the market had actually been raised to 2.8 billion by Ning Fan and Yuan Tong.
If this matter is spread out, Tianyuan City would have another topic to talk about during their leisure time.
Before the Upper Nine Pavilion Masters could speak, Ning Fan nodded with a smile. "Fellow Daoist Yuan is right. If I don't show them the immortal jade, it would give them the illusion that I'm purposely raising the price … 2.81 billion."
As expected, Ning Fan added another ten million immortal jade.
He also patted his storage pouch and raised his hand to point outside the hall. Immediately, a mountain of immortal jade appeared outside the hall. There was a total of 2.81 billion immortal jade.
"What?! This young man really has so many immortal jade?! "Yuan Tong's heart shuddered.
As the disciple of the Ape Sovereign, he always had a sense of superiority.
This sense of superiority had increased his confidence to a certain extent and raised his battle heart that was not afraid of strong enemies.
However, at this moment, he realized that his identity as the disciple of the Ape Sovereign was nothing special at all.
This Bai Mu who came out of nowhere actually possessed a huge amount of wealth that was not any weaker than his.
If that was the case, what was his usual arrogance and conceit worth?!
After being stunned for a moment, he actually did not continue bidding. It was as if he had already admitted defeat.
At this moment, a crack appeared on Yuan Tong's Dao Heart. It was just a tiny crack. If it can be mended in time, it could still be repaired.
However, Ning Fan was not prepared to give Yuan Tong the chance to mend his Dao Heart.
Currently, he was in Tianyuan City. Due to the prestige of the Old Yuan Sovereign, he could not kill Yuan Tong.
However, it did not mean that Ning Fan could tolerate Yuan Tong's intention to harm him.
Since Yuan Tong wanted to destroy Ning Fan's Dao Heart, Ning Fan would not hesitate to give him a taste of his own medicine!
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Yuan, are you not going to bid anymore? Why don't you let me bid for you? 2.9 billion?! "
Ning Fan raised his hand and took out ninety million immortal jade and threw it outside the hall. He had intentionally raised the price.
Yuan Tong's eyes widened. He did not expect that Ning Fan would continue to raise the price after snatching the fishing rod.
"3 billion!" Ning Fan threw out another one hundred million immortal jade. Yuan Tong's face turned pale.
3 billion immortal jade was already his base price. He could not win against Ning Fan at all!
Ning Fan observed every single expression on Yuan Tong's face. He could vaguely tell that 3 billion immortal jade was Yuan Tong's entire wealth.
In that case, he could destroy Yuan Tong's Dao Heart in one go.
"4 billion!"
"5 billion!"
"7 billion!"
"9 billion!"
"10 billion!"
Ning Fan raised the price five times in a row and threw out five immortal jade. In just an instant, the price of the Purple Grade Fishing Rod was raised to 10 billion!
Looking at the immortal jade outside the hall that was as tall as a mountain, Yuan Tong felt an unprecedented sense of defeat and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
10 billion immortal jade! That was 10 billion immortal jade!
Even his master, the Ape Sovereign, would definitely not be willing to throw 10 billion in one go!
This man's wealth was so strong that he could not be compared to him!
Yuan Tong had admitted defeat. This meant that the undefeatable battle intent that he had cultivated for his entire life had crumbled in an instant!
Those who wanted to fight would never admit defeat and admit defeat.
Once they lose their confidence, they would no longer have the courage to challenge the other experts and the determination to attain the Great Dao.
The burly man and the beautiful lady were stunned. 10 billion immortal jade was something that they could never imagine.
The Upper Nine Pavilion Lord gave Ning Fan a deep look. In an instant, he was certain that Ning Fan was a ruthless person that he could not afford to offend.
Yuan Tong wanted to destroy his Dao Heart. Thus, he would do the opposite and destroy Yuan Tong!
"Bai … Bai Mu, I will remember this! Humph! "
Yuan Tong forcefully swallowed the blood in his throat and gritted his teeth. Then, he turned into a ray of light and left in a hurry.
His Dao Heart had already been destroyed. He must immediately look for his master. Perhaps, there might still be a chance for him to recover …
As he left in a hurry, he did not even have the time to bring the 2.8 billion immortal jade with him.
The burly man looked at Ning Fan with gratitude and cupped his fists to salute him. Then, he left.
The bidding had already ended. It was meaningless for him to stay here any longer.
Yuan Tong had destroyed his Dao Heart while Ning Fan had indirectly avenged him by destroying Yuan Tong's Dao Heart. Of course, he was grateful to Ning Fan.
The beautiful lady also had no intention of staying here any longer. She bid farewell and left.
What happened today had given her a huge shock. A bidding war was even more thrilling than a battle of life and death. The killing was done without anyone noticing.
"The Purple Grade Fishing Rod is now mine. Five days later, I will go to the Upper Nine Pavilions to get the rod."
Ning Fan rose to his feet and cupped his fists at the Upper Nine Pavilion Lord. Then, he was about to leave.
However, he still had a calm expression on his face. To him, 10 billion immortal jade was just a drop in the ocean. It was not worth mentioning.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait. If my mistress wants to forge a fishing rod for you, she will need to tailor-make it. Thus, she needs to meet you. Fellow Daoist, please follow me to meet my mistress. Don't worry. It won't take too much of your time. "
"Your mistress?" Ning Fan was stunned and stopped in his tracks.
He did not know that the last remaining Weapon Refinement Master of the Upper Nine Pavilions was the person whom the dignified Pavilion Lord treated as his mistress.
One should know that the Pavilion Lord of the Upper Nine Pavilions was a cultivator of the Origin Palace.
All the cultivators of the Origin Palace could only have one master and that was the Primitive Emperor.
The mistress that he mentioned could only be the relative of the Primitive Emperor.
"That's right. Even though I am the Pavilion Lord of the Upper Nine Pavilions, the one who makes decisions in the Upper Nine Pavilions is my mistress, Zi Xin."
