The First Venerable of All Paths

"Does Steward Lan have any further instructions?"

Fang Xuan's lips curled into a smile, but he didn't turn his head.

Lan Meier took a deep breath, her full chest heaving as she tried to suppress her emotions.

"My Tianbao Pavilion doesn't lack those two million yuan stones, but Young Master Fang also needs to tell me, is your prescription truly worth that price?"

Fang Xuan turned around, looked at Lan Meier, and suddenly shook his head and chuckled.

"What are you laughing at, Young Master Fang?"

Seeing Fang Xuan's reaction, Lan Meier suddenly felt a little displeased, and her tone became somewhat cold.

Is this brat looking down on me?

Fang Xuan looked at Lan Meier and asked in return, "I just feel that Manager Lan has been in charge of Tianbao Tower for many years, surely she knows the value of this prescription?"

Lan Meier wasn't stupid; after Fang Xuan's prompting, she suddenly realized and said, "You mean...?"

Although he hadn't finished speaking, Fang Xuan understood that the other person had grasped his meaning.

"Manager Lan is indeed exceptionally intelligent to have managed Tianbao Tower for so many years; he understands things very quickly."

Lan Meier glared at Fang Xuan and said, "You little rascal, stop teasing your older sister."

"Two million shi of gold, I'll take this prescription."

Lan Meier clapped her hands, and the maid in green who had been there earlier walked in, carrying a tray with two storage bags on it.

"This is two million yuan stones, plus various materials that Young Master Fang purchased earlier. Please take a look."

After Fang Xuan finished counting, he said, "Then I will pay Steward Lan the previous amount of spirit stones."

"No need."

Lan Meier said, "Consider these things as payment for Young Master Fang's previous guidance."

"In that case, I thank Steward Lan."

Fang Xuan didn't bother with any pretense.

The Fang family is currently in dire need of various resources, and 180,000 shi is a considerable sum for them.

"This is the complete prescription; please have Steward Lan take a look as well."

Fang Xuan handed the complete prescription for Dragon Bone Elixir to Lan Meier.

The other party took the prescription and handed it directly to Master Ming.

After carefully reviewing it several times, Master Ming nodded to Lan Meier.

"The prescription is fine."

After confirming, Lan Meier took out an invitation and handed it to Fang Xuan.

"An auction will be held later. If you are interested, Young Master Fang, you are welcome to attend."

Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow and said, "An auction?"

"good."

Lan Meier said rather smugly, "This auction is of a very high level; only those with invitations can participate. Does Young Master Fang intend to miss it?"

Fang Xuan thought for a moment, then reached out and took the invitation.

"Since we're already here, let's go take a look."

After Fang Xuan left the VIP room, Lan Meier muttered under her breath, "Little fox."

"Miss, although this prescription is quite valuable, isn't it a bit... a bit much to spend two million gold coins to acquire it?"

After Fang Xuan left, Master Ming held the prescription, his expression somewhat hesitant.

"You think it's too expensive?"

Lan Meier's eyebrows curved, and the corners of her lips curved into an alluring smile.

"That's because they didn't see the value behind this prescription."

Master Ming was taken aback and said, "Please enlighten me, Miss."

Lan Meier took the prescription and said, "If it's just a simple prescription, it's indeed not worth two million. But if we prepare the finished medicine and then divide it into several grades for auction, do you still think two million is expensive?"

"I really didn't expect that."

Master Ming smiled wryly and said, "So, that little guy who insisted on two million just now was planning to do the same thing."

Lan Meier snorted coldly and said, "I wanted to put that kid in a bad position to negotiate a better deal, but I didn't expect that guy to be someone who wouldn't suffer any loss."

In truth, she was well aware of the value of this prescription.

They just wanted to use some business negotiation skills to lower the price.

But Fang Xuan didn't fall for it and even mocked her instead.

That's outrageous.

"but......."

Taking the prescription from Master Ming, Lan Meier snorted coldly: "Little thing, you think you can fool your older sister by just changing your name? You underestimate me."

"Master Ming, go and prepare several doses of the medicine immediately. We'll auction them off later."

Master Ming was taken aback and said, "Miss, today's auction is of a high standard, and the items are all carefully selected. Although this Concentrated Spirit Blood Creation is good, I'm afraid it doesn't qualify for auction, does it?"

"You don't understand."

Lan Meier said, "Those things are good, but they're all external. However, this 'Concentrating the Mind to Create Blood' can lay a solid foundation for martial arts. Do you think those people would give that up?"

"Miss is brilliant."

Master Ming's eyes lit up, and he said, "Don't worry, Miss, I'll go and prepare it right away. I guarantee that the medicine will be ready before the auction begins."

After Master Ming left, Lan Meier picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"His cultivation was completely destroyed, his Dao body was taken away, yet he was able to defeat Su Yang, kill Su Chen, and kill Fang Xiao. Now he has produced such a rare medicinal prescription."

Lan Meier's eyes were alluring as she whispered, "Fang Xuan, how many secrets do you still have that others don't know?"

"My sister is becoming more and more interested in you."

Based on just one prescription, Lan Meier had already guessed that Fang Xuan was the one who defeated Su Yang in Tianbao Tower last time and borrowed the alchemy room to prepare the medicine.

......

"Young Master Fang, this way please."

The maid in green led Fang Xuan to a large hall.

"Tonight's auction is of a very high standard. All the attendees are prominent figures from Qingyang County, and there will also be people from other counties participating."

The maid in green smiled and said, "I hope Young Master Fang can bid on what he desires."

Fang Xuan nodded and glanced around the hall.

There were only about ten people in the hall.

But as the maid said, they were all prominent figures in Qingyang County.

For example, Su Yang from the Su family.

Li Tianjiao of the Li family.

There are also representatives of forces whose strength is second only to the three major families.

Fang Xuan had never seen some of them before.

They must be the people from other counties that the maid in green mentioned.

"Brother Fang Xuan? You're here for the auction too?"

Upon seeing Fang Xuan, Li Tianjiao waved happily at him.

Fang Xuan thought for a moment, then walked over to Li Tianjiao and sat down next to her.

"Fang Xuan, what are you doing here?"

Su Yang said coldly, "This auction is of a very high standard. Is it a place you can just show up at?"

He glared at the maid in blue and said with displeasure, "What kind of business is Tianbao Tower doing? Someone without an invitation has no right to sit here. Get him out of here right now!"

In an instant, everyone turned their attention to Fang Xuan, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

Some people shook their heads and sneered.

Some people had no expression.

Some people looked on with sarcasm.

Everyone in Qingyang County knows that the Fang family has offended the Blood Fiend Gang and is not far from destruction.

As the young master of the Fang family, Fang Xuan's willingness to show his face in public is a joke and utterly shameful.

"You little brat, don't go too far!"

As Fang Xuan's most loyal lackey, Zhongye rolled up his sleeves and said, "Believe it or not, your Zhongye will teach you how to be a man today."

"You, a piece of trash with no cultivation, dare to say you'll teach this young master a lesson?"

Su Yang sneered, "Fang Xuan, you really are worse than a piece of trash. First you relied on a woman for protection, and now you're relying on an old man to stand up for you. Don't you have any shame?"

"Su Yang, shut up!"

Li Tianjiao let out a cold shout, and his Yuan Power emanated from his body.

It seemed like they might attack Su Yang at any moment.

"Li Tianjiao, are you really going to treat me like this for a piece of trash?"

Su Yang's face twisted in anger as he shouted, "The Fang family is about to be wiped out, and Fang Xuan is also nearing the end. You still want to stand up for him? Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

"What's it to you if I want to?"

Li Tianjiao's pretty face darkened, and she replied coldly.

"you......"

Su Yang's face grew increasingly gloomy.

Fang Xuan stood in front of Li Tianjiao, watching Su Yang.

"Even if the Fang family has offended the Blood Fiend Gang, that is a matter for the Fang family."

Fang Xuan said calmly, "However, I can guarantee that I will wipe out the Su family before the Fang family is destroyed."

"You?"

Su Yang, as if he had heard the funniest joke, said, "Fang Xuan, you really overestimate yourself. Do you really think my Su family is still the same Su family as before? But your Fang family is no longer the Fang family it once was."

"Oh?"

Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Then how about... we give it a try? Let's see if I can wipe out your Su family!"

Sensing the chill and killing intent in Fang Xuan's eyes, Su Yang shivered inexplicably.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming somewhat tense, a clear and sweet voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Welcome everyone to the auction of Tianbao Tower. I am the auctioneer for this event, Lan Meier."

Everyone turned to look and saw Lan Meier, dressed in a sky-blue dress, smiling at them.

"Please be seated, everyone. The auction will begin shortly."

Upon hearing this, everyone took their seats in turn.

"Fang Xuan, let you be smug for a few days."

Su Yang gave a cold laugh and said, "When the Blood Fiend Gang comes knocking, I will personally send you on your final journey."

"Then I'll wait."

Fang Xuan chuckled lightly, not taking Su Yang's words to heart.

"Brother Fang Xuan, don't get angry with this kind of person, it's not worth it."

Li Tianjiao said, "If you see anything you like later and don't have enough spirit stones, I'll lend you some."

"it is good."

Sitting not far away, Su Yang saw Fang Xuan and the other man chatting and laughing, and his jealousy went crazy.

Fang Xuan!

And Li Tianjiao, you all just wait!

"Now, please allow me to introduce today's first lot."

Lan Meier clapped her hands, and a maid came up carrying a tray.

It was a white inner armor.

"This is the last work of the master craftsman Wei, named Frost and Snow Armor."

Lan Meier said, "This armor not only has amazing defensive capabilities, easily blocking attacks from Qi Gathering Realm martial artists; if activated with Yuan Power, a circle of frost will condense within a three-meter radius to protect the wearer, and it can even withstand a full-force attack from a Condensation Realm expert; because of its soft material, it is most suitable for women to use."

"The starting bid for this piece of armor is 30,000 shi, and each bid must be at least 2,000 shi higher."

As Lan Meier's voice fell, a chorus of bidding cries immediately rose and fell.

In a short period of time, the price of this Frost Armor broke through 100,000, reaching an astonishing 130,000.

Although most of the people present were male warriors, they didn't need the Frost Armor, but they could buy it for their families.

Fang Xuan was hesitating whether to buy it for his sister when he noticed Li Tianjiao staring at the armor with bright eyes.

"Tianjiao, you like this armor?"

Su Yang said, "Shall I buy it for you?"

"Get out of here!"

Li Tianjiao rolled her eyes: "I don't lack spirit stones."

"Two hundred thousand shi (a unit of dry measure)."

Just then, a faint voice rang out.

It was Fang Xuan.

Seeing this, everyone slowly shook their heads and gave up the bidding.

While the Frost Armor is nice, it's definitely not worth spending 200,000 gold coins to buy it.

Moreover, they have other things they value to bid on.

"Congratulations, Young Master Fang, on successfully bidding for this Frost Armor."

soon.

The Frost Armor was delivered to Fang Xuan by a maid. After Fang Xuan paid with spirit stones, he handed the Frost Armor directly to Li Tianjiao beside him.

"Brother Fang Xuan, you......."

Li Tianjiao was stunned and stared at Fang Xuan expectantly.

Fang Xuan laughed and said, "Last time you gave me pills, this time I'll give you a piece of armor."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Fang Xuan. I like it very much."

Li Tianjiao snatched the armor and held it tightly to his chest.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Yang felt a wave of dizziness and almost vomited blood from anger.

Fang Xuan, you dare to steal my woman? You're asking for death!
