Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 167 Meeting old friends, news from Da Zhou
"Okay."

Lu Fan had this in mind, "I still have a fourth-level beast elixir, a heaven-level skill book, and the third-level Wind Wolf King's beast elixir in my hand."

As he spoke, Lu Fan took out several spiritual treasures.

"Ah."

Shui Manshan looked at several spiritual treasures carefully and nodded slightly, "Yes, these can all be auctioned."

"Just leave the stuff to me."

"This is a talisman."

As he spoke, Shui Manshan took out a jade talisman and said, "Tell me your name first, and I will enter your personal information and the items being auctioned."

"My name is Lu Fan."

Lu Fan did not hide his name.

"Which sect do you come from? Or which family?"

Shui Manshan asked: "Is it convenient to talk about it?"

"I'm just a casual cultivator."

Lu Fan said truthfully: "There is no power behind him."

"alright."

After Shui Manshan entered the information, he handed the talisman in his hand to Lu Fan, "You take this talisman. It will be your admission certificate on the day of the auction. You can have a separate room on the sixth floor, No. 21 house."

"At that time, if you take out the talisman, someone will naturally take you there."

"In the room, you can see the auction scene and participate in bidding."

"There will also be dedicated people working for you."

"No matter what happens, you just need to give me the order."

Speaking of this, Shui Manshan smiled and said, "You are the most distinguished customer of our Longyuan Trading Company."

"it is good."

Lu Fan just didn't want to show up, so it would be best to have someone do it for him.

Presumably this is also Longyuan Trading Company's protection for certain customers.

He must not be the only one to receive this kind of treatment.

After all, his room was on the sixth floor, still number 21.

I don't know how many people were lined up in front of me.

"I have put away all these treasures."

Shui Manshan said: "Of course, if you are worried, just keep it yourself and give it to me the day before the auction."

"No, leave it here with you."

Lu Fan knew that this was the rule of the trading company, and he could only choose to trust the other party.

"I would like to ask, based on past experience, how many high-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for a high-grade spiritual grass like Millennium Xuezhi?"

Lu Fan asked tentatively: "You have auctions every month. Do you have this kind of high-grade spiritual grass every month?"

"Not really."

Shui Manshan thought for a while and said, "It's been almost a year, right? Longyuan Trading Company has never received spiritual grass of such quality."

"However, according to past experience, the starting price for Millennium Xuezhi is [-] top-grade spirit stones."

"As for how much the price can be increased in the end, it depends on luck."

“This auction is very crowded, so there will definitely be many bidders.”

"So, you don't have to worry at all."

Shui Mantian smiled and said: "It will definitely sell for a good price."

"That's good."

Lu Fan calculated the time in his mind. It had only been more than half a year since Wei He disappeared, right?

So, Wei He hasn't had time to auction the Millennium Snow Lotus yet?

Something happened before we even arrived at Longyuan Trading Company?

Or is Shui Mantian lying?
Ordinarily unlikely.

No need.

This kind of thing can be found out by asking, and there is no way to hide it.

It seems that something happened not long after Wei He left Longlin Abyss.

As a result, the clues to Longyuan Trading Company were cut off, and there were no new clues.

It will be even more difficult to find Wei He's whereabouts.

However, the words of Shui Manshan cannot be fully believed, and this clue must be kept.

Check it out later.

"Do not bother you."

Lu Fan put away the jade talisman, stood up, rushed into the water and clasped his fists, "Farewell!"

"Walk slowly."

Shui Manshan stood up to see her off and told her, "You must come on the day of the auction."

"Do not worry."

Lu Fan left the room, went downstairs, and walked out of the business.

All I met along the way were strange faces.

I didn’t see anyone from Tiankui Pavilion, nor did I meet anyone from Qingyun Sect.

You must be here on the day of the auction, right?
……

……

Five days later, May 28th.

morning.

Lu Fan arrived at Longyuan Trading Company early, and there were not too many people at this time.

He took out the jade talisman and handed it to the young man who was welcoming the guests.

"Sir, please come with me."

The young man took the talisman, looked at it carefully, and handed it back to Lu Fan.

The two of them arrived at the sixth floor of the commercial bank. The young man opened the door of a room and invited Lu Fan in.

The room was not big, with a few chairs, a tea table, a bed, and a bedside table.

Transparent windows allow one to see outside.

Lu Fan walked over and took a look. Outside the window was the auction hall.

The hall is huge, with thousands of seats.

There are already many people sitting inside.

Lu Fan sat down, looking directly at a high platform.

Presumably that's where the auction takes place.

At this moment, footsteps sounded.

A girl in a white dress walked into the room and closed the door.

She looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pretty face and a gentle demeanor.

Especially the figure is extremely outstanding.

"Sir, have some tea, please."

The girl came over with a teapot and cup, and poured a cup of tea for Lu Fan.

Then she took out a few plates of food and placed them on the tea table in front of Lu Fan.

It's all kinds of snacks, dried fruits and the like.

"My name is Xiaodie, and I will always be by your side during the auction."

The girl lowered her hands and stood behind Lu Fan with a smile on her face, "If you need anything, please feel free to tell me."

"it is good."

Lu Fan nodded, "The auction will start soon, you can bid for me."

"Yes."

The girl agreed and said no more.

Lu Fan felt the opponent's strength. He must be at the third level of Qi training?
In Dazhou, someone with such strength can be considered a master.

Should it be regarded as entering the Xiantian realm for the first time?Or slightly higher?
But no matter what, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he has at least reached the Xiantian state.

It would be unimaginable if such a genius appeared in Dazhou.

But in the world of cultivating immortals, they can only serve tea and water for others, and wait on the sidelines.

The difference between them can be imagined.

Lu Fan stopped thinking about it, sat cross-legged on a chair, and quickly entered a state of cultivation.

After a long time.

Lu Fan woke up from his trance and looked out the window, only to see that all the seats in the hall were full of people.

There are still some people standing.

Everyone was talking and laughing loudly, which was extremely noisy.

Most people had their backs to Lu Fan and could not see their appearance.

In addition, there were too many people, so he was too lazy to distinguish them one by one, so he just took a few general glances.

When his eyes glanced at a corner, Lu Fan was suddenly shocked.

That figure was extremely familiar. Even though he was just sitting cross-legged and facing him sideways, he recognized it at a glance.

Ye Wuchen?
Lu Fan was greatly surprised. He didn't expect to meet him here.

He froze for a moment.

Thinking back to the past, he thought of too many familiar people and familiar faces.

Su Mu, Liu Zhi, Qin Yu, Gu Cheng, Li Yongtai, Yan Qing, Xu Wei, Cao Ning, Meng Ran, Liu Mei, Wu Lingzhao, etc.

In the end, Ye Qingyun appeared in his mind and was fixed there, with no place for anyone else.

I wonder how Qingyun is doing now?

Have you been worrying about him?

And his newborn child.

Calculating the time, it should be half a year old, right?
"Xiaodie, go and bring that man up to me. He is my friend."

Lu Fan finally came to his senses, pointed at Ye Wuchen, and said, "That's the person sitting on the ground."

"okay."

Xiaodie saw Ye Wuchen at a glance. He was sitting alone in the corner, extremely conspicuous.

Lu Fan kept staring at Ye Wuchen and saw him sitting in the crowd, unusually calm.

Even when he came to the world of cultivating immortals and was surrounded by masters who were stronger than him, Ye Wuchen was still the same as before.

Under Lu Fan's gaze, Xiaodie came to Ye Wuchen, whispered a few words to him, then turned back and pointed to the room where Lu Fan was.

Ye Wuchen turned his head and looked in the direction of Xiaodie's finger, but couldn't see Lu Fan.

But he still stood up and followed Xiaodie out of the hall.

After a while, footsteps sounded.

Xiaodie pushed open the door and took Ye Wuchen into the room.

"Sir, it was brought to you."

"Okay, you go out, and you can come in after the auction starts."

Lu Fan's voice shocked Ye Wuchen, who stood there blankly with disbelief on his face.

"Yes, sir."

Xiaodie exited the room and closed the door.

"Why are you still standing there? Come and sit down."

Lu Fan turned his head with a smile and looked at Ye Wuchen.

"It's you!"

Ye Wuchen finally came to his senses, strode over, and shouted: "Lu Fan! You really came to the world of immortality and made me look for you so hard!"

"Did you come to find me on purpose?"

Lu Fan understood.

"nonsense!"

Ye Wuchen no longer had the calmness of the past, with anger on his face, after sitting down, he punched Lu Fan hard, "You left without saying goodbye, do you know how worried my sister is about you?"

"It's good for you, you enjoy being here?"

As he spoke, Ye Wuchen picked up the snacks on the table and ate them.

After finishing the snack, he poured himself another cup of tea and drank it all in one go.

Ye Wuchen wiped his mouth and shouted to Lu Fan: "Tell me quickly, why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

"Ugh!"

Lu Fan sighed softly and said, "Do you think I want it?"

He took out the letter and handed it to Ye Wuchen, "Look."

While Ye Wuchen was reading the letter, Lu Fan roughly talked about his experience in the past year.

"Is there such a thing?"

Ye Wuchen was silent for a long time, then patted Lu Fan on the shoulder, "Actually, I also guessed something. I know you couldn't have left without saying goodbye. Something must have happened before you disappeared."

"But I always felt that you wouldn't die easily, so I came out to look for you."

"When I came to the world of cultivating immortals, I happened to hear that there was an auction in Longyuan City."

"I just thought there would be a lot of people there, and I might be able to meet you."

"I didn't expect that I would actually meet you."

Speaking of this, Ye Wuchen sighed softly, "Fortunately your body is strong enough, otherwise how could you survive until now?"

"Yes."

Lu Fan thought of Ye Qingyun and asked, "How is Qingyun? How is my child?"

"My sister is just worried about you."

There was a smile on Ye Wuchen's face, "Since you are fine, then she must be fine."

"I have good news for you, you have a daughter."

"Just half a year ago, my sister gave birth to a daughter."

"She looks a lot like you and like a sister."

"so cute."

Ye Wuchen smiled and said, "You'll know when you meet him. That little guy is really lovable."

"is it?"

Lu Fan was overjoyed, "I actually have a daughter? What's her name?" "Her name is Qingcheng."

Ye Wuchen thought for a while and said, "My sister said that you two discussed the naming matter at the beginning, but you didn't think about it at the time, but you said that if it is a daughter, she will definitely captivate the country."

"That's how my sister was named."

Ye Wuchen sighed: "It can be regarded as my longing for you."

"Allure?"

Lu Fan murmured: "Lu Qingcheng? What a pity. I don't know when I can see my daughter again?"

"Aren't you going back?"

Ye Wuchen said blankly: "Are you planning to stay in the world of immortality forever?"

"Of course we have to go back, but now is not the time."

Lu Fan shook his head, "I want to find Wei He, and I want to find the sect that killed me. Most importantly, I want to improve my strength here."

"With my current strength, there is no way I can take revenge."

"It's even hard to protect yourself."

"After going back, are you going to be killed again?"

Speaking of this, Lu Fan glanced at Ye Wuchen and said, "Maybe it will involve you all as well."

"Too."

Ye Wuchen instantly understood that Lu Fan really couldn't go back.

At least you can't go back until you become strong enough.

Otherwise, the other party is likely to send experts to kill Lu Fan again, and it may not be that easy to survive at that time.

"Okay, I'll go back."

Ye Wuchen said: "I want to tell my sister this good news as soon as possible so that she can rest assured."

"By the way, what is your current level of cultivation?"

Lu Fan was a little curious, "Did he advance to the innate realm?"

"I just entered the Xiantian First Realm, so I set out to find you."

Ye Wuchen nodded slightly, "I am still in the innate realm."

"congratulations."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "In Da Zhou today, there is no innate strong man younger than you, right?"

"You bastard!"

Ye Wuchen punched Lu Fan again, "As early as a year ago, you were already at the ninth level of Xiantian, and now you are many times stronger than me."

"I was just lucky. It was a blessing in disguise that I met Wei He."

Lu Fan said modestly: "Otherwise, I'm not much better than you."

"Wei He and you share the same disease."

Ye Wuchen put away the letter in his hand, "After I go back, I will help you investigate and find out who wants to deal with you?"

"Not urgent."

Lu Fan waved his hand, "After you go back, you'd better be patient and improve your strength as much as possible. I'll talk about everything after I go back."

"Your mission is to protect Qingyun and Qingcheng."

"There's no need to rush into checking these things."

"Actually, it's okay if you don't go back. It's not bad to stay here to practice."

After a short pause, Lu Fan continued: "After a few years, we will go back together."

"just forget it."

Ye Wuchen refused without thinking, "I don't want Qingyun to worry about me anymore. Besides, if I stay here, I will be a burden to you."

"With my current strength, anyone in the world of immortality can easily kill me."

"You have so many enemies. If you really take action, you won't be able to take care of me."

"It will distract you instead."

"What's more, I don't worry about Qingyun and Qingcheng."

"If I don't go for a long time, I'm worried they are in danger."

Ye Wuchen sighed: "Then my sin will be great."

"Okay, now that you've decided, you might as well go back."

Lu Fan thought for a while and asked, "While you are away, Qingyun and the others will not be in danger, right?"

"It should be fine."

Ye Wuchen shook his head, "After all, I have only been out for a few months, and I have settled down. I have arranged enough experts in the Zhennan Palace, and I have told Qing Yun not to leave the Palace no matter what happens. It should be fine in a short time."

"That's good."

Lu Fan felt relieved, "In that case, you should wait until the auction is over before leaving. I will prepare a gift for you, Qingyun, and my daughter."

"it is good."

Ye Wuchen agreed happily, and then asked: "What is your strength now?"

"My cultivation level is only in the Nine Innate Realms."

Lu Fan did not hide anything and said truthfully: "But my true strength should be extraordinary or higher."

"You guys are still awesome."

Ye Wuchen praised: "In just one year, you have grown to such an extent that you have become a success in the world of cultivating immortals."

"Still a long way to go."

Lu Fan shook his head slightly, "That's why I eagerly want to obtain immortal martial arts."

"Can I change it?"

Ye Wuchen was a little curious, "I wonder how many spiritual stones are needed to replace them?"

"should be no problem."

Lu Fan remembered something again and asked, "By the way, how did you reach the world of immortality? How long did it take?"

"I went out to sea by boat, starting from the southernmost point of Chu State, and heading south."

Ye Wuchen said: "It took more than two months to reach the shore and reach the world of cultivating immortals."

"In my estimation, Dazhou is at least tens of thousands of miles away from the world of immortality."

"After I arrived at the Immortal Cultivation Realm, I continued heading south and walked for more than 20 days before arriving at Longyuan City."

"In other words, it will take at least three months from Dazhou to get here."

"This is still after I advance to Xiantian."

"It will take longer for the average person."

"Moreover, even if you come to the world of immortality, it will be difficult to survive."

After a pause, Ye Wuchen continued: "This is also the reason why few people in Dazhou come to the world of immortality. Even if they are as strong as Liu Qingyang, they don't dare to take risks easily. If you really want to gain a foothold in the world of immortality, you must at least reach the extraordinary level. .”

"Yes."

Lu Fan understands the strength of the immortal world better than Ye Wuchen.

"Also, after you go back, you can only tell Qingyun, and don't tell anyone else."

"Not even the closest people."

Lu Fan urged: "After all, my life and death will affect the fate of the Ye family. The fewer people know about it, the better."

"Okay, I understand."

Ye Wuchen nodded, "It's just that the brothers of Longyingwei missed you very much. They often asked me about you."

"I miss them too, but I can't help it."

Lu Fan sighed: "I can't see anyone until the truth comes to light."

"Ah."

Ye Wuchen answered: "There will always be a day when we meet."

"Don't pursue that matter."

Lu Fan was still worried, and continued to exhort: "You just need to improve your strength with peace of mind."

"Okay, I promise you."

Ye Wuchen took out the letter again and handed it to Lu Fan, "Here you are."

Lu Fan took the letter, put the space ring away, and asked, "How is Da Zhou doing now?"

"In today's Great Zhou, the country is rich and the people are strong, and all the countries are subject to submission, which is far beyond the prosperity of the past."

Ye Wuchen's eyes flickered, "And all of this is your credit."

"Many people remember you, and the common people also remember your kindness."

"Most people don't even know you're missing."

"They thought you were still the King of Zhennan, protecting them in Dayu City."

"Some people even keep your memorial tablet at home."

"Of course, there are people who are anxious about your disappearance."

"I heard that after Liu Mei heard the news of your disappearance, she stopped practicing in seclusion and is looking around for your whereabouts."

"Maybe she will also find the world of immortality."

Speaking of this, Ye Wuchen reminded: "You have to have some idea."

"Ok?"

Lu Fan was stunned, greatly surprised.

Unexpectedly, Liu Mei would treat him like this.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Boom boom boom!"

Xiaodie's voice then sounded, "Sir, the auction is about to begin."

"it is good."

Lu Fan said: "Come in."

"Yes, sir."

Xiaodie pushed the door open and closed it behind her.

When she came to stand behind Lu Fan, she stood with her hands down.

Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen turned their gazes out the window and looked at the high platform.

Not long after, Shui Manshan climbed onto the high platform, faced everyone, and cupped his hands, "Fellow Taoists, I am the manager of Longyuan Trading Company, Shui Manshan."

"I'm very happy that so many fellow Taoists came to support us."

"Shui is honored."

"Here, on behalf of Longyuan Trading Company, I would like to thank you all."

As he spoke, Shui Manshan handed over his hand, "Okay, the auction will begin next."

"The first spiritual treasure to be auctioned is a third-level beast elixir."

"But this is not an ordinary third-level beast elixir."

"It's the third-level Wind Wolf King, which is considered the best among the third-level."

After saying that, Shui Manshan waved his hand and said, "Send it up."

"Yes."

A girl in a white dress came to the stage holding a box.

She opened the box and revealed the golden beast elixir inside.

It was the beast pill that Lu Fan auctioned off.

"Start the bidding now, the lowest price is one thousand high-grade spiritual stones."

Shui Manshan said: "Every time the price is increased by at least [-], you can bid."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "I will give you one thousand."

"two thousand!"

"Three thousand!"

In an instant, they called for three thousand high-grade spiritual stones, but no one dared to increase the price.

In the end, it was sold at a price of [-] top-grade spirit stones.

Seeing this, Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

The more people participating, the better. Just one of the Wind Wolf King's beast elixirs sold three thousand spirit stones.

The remaining spiritual treasures he has left will probably fetch a better price.

"Okay, sir, please come on stage. After delivering the spirit stone, you can take away the beast elixir of the Wind Wolf King."

Shui Manshan waved to the person who successfully bid in the audience.

"Ah."

It was a young man, tall and thin.

He quickly came to the stage and handed over to the people on the stage.

"Let's continue."

Shui Manshan looked around at the people in the audience and said: "The next auction is still the beast elixir."

"This is a fourth-level beast elixir with ice attributes."

"It's a fourth-level spiritual beast, the Black Ice Tiger."

"The minimum bid is [-] high-grade spirit stones, and each increase should not be less than [-]."

After a pause, Shui Manshan continued: "The bidding begins now, please bid."

"I'll pay two thousand."

"Three thousand!"

"four thousand!"

"Five thousand!"

In the end, this fourth-order beast pill was sold for the price of [-] top-grade spirit stones.

Lu Fan was completely relieved.

In just a short time, he had already earned eight thousand high-grade spiritual stones.

The Heavenly Level Cultivation Technique and Millennium Snow Zhi later will definitely sell for a better price.

At that time, he will be enough to buy a book of low-grade martial arts at the immortal level.

if so.

Judging from today's posture, it should be possible.
