Wild Dogs

Yang Fan shook his head repeatedly.

"No need, I don't like having anyone with me."

After speaking, Yang Fan quickened his pace and walked forward, soon disappearing into the end of the crowd.

Seeing that Yang Fan completely ignored him, the man was so angry that his teeth itched. He clenched his fists slightly, but there was nothing he could do about Yang Fan.

After a long pause, he could only snort coldly and step aside.

"They really are asking for trouble."

With his fists clenched slightly, the man could only continue recruiting others.

After leaving, Yang Fan wandered around the neighborhood seven or eight times.

By this time, after wandering around for a while, Yang Fan had figured out a part of the basic situation of Dengyun City.

Dengyun City is clearly a city where immortals and mortals live together. Mortals live on the outskirts of the city, so as soon as you enter the city, you can hear a lot of mortals hawking their wares.

The areas where cultivators lived were closer to the center of the city.

After walking towards the center of the city for a while, the cries of many cultivators came from the street ahead.

Yang Fan walked up to a stall, inquired about the items, and then spent ten spirit stones to buy a jade slip.

This jade slip contains detailed information about Dengyun City and the Dengyun Exchange Meeting.

After browsing through the contents of the jade slip, Yang Fan had a fairly good understanding of the situation at the Cloud Ascension Exchange Meeting.

The Cloud Exchange Association is located in the very center of the city, where there is an extremely large square. The square is surrounded by barriers, so there is no fear that anyone will default on their debts or run away with their belongings.

According to the jade slip, this trade fair was much more complex than Yang Fan had anticipated, and it included many rare and valuable items.

Of course, there are also many inferior goods sold as superior ones.

It seems that Lin Xiao was right; even such a large exchange event has its share of problems.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Fan headed towards the Cloud Exchange Meeting.

Before long, he arrived near the center of the city.

Although many patrolling guards checked Yang Fan's hand along the way, once they saw the ring on Yang Fan's finger, the others immediately made way.

Everyone understood what the ring meant, so naturally they dared not interfere.

After a while, Yang Fan arrived near the square in the center of the city.

After looking around, Yang Fan took a deep breath and then walked to the entrance of the square.

Two other monks were guarding the entrance to the square.

The two cultivators, who were already at the late Foundation Establishment stage, glanced at Yang Fan and then stepped aside.

Yang Fan nodded slightly to the two of them and walked into the square in front of him.

From the outside, the square appeared empty, but the moment he stepped into the entrance, the area in front of him rippled like water, and the scene before him immediately changed.

Looking around, the entire scene of the Dengyun Exchange Conference came into view.

The square, which appeared empty from the outside, was now packed with all sorts of stalls.

What shocked Yang Fan even more was that in the very center of the square stood a nine-story pagoda that soared into the sky.

The pagoda was surrounded by a dazzling light, enveloping the entire square in a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.

After taking a couple of glances, Yang Fan couldn't help but admire it in his heart; it was truly a grand gesture.

The light surrounding the pagoda was clearly generated by countless rare spiritual stones.

No wonder so many people came all the way here for the Cloud Exchange Meeting.

After looking around, Yang Fan immediately walked deeper into the square.

At this moment, many cultivators were busily trading goods in the square, with noisy chatter coming from all around and crowds jostling each other.

Yang Fan looked at the items on the stall while observing the cultivators coming and going around him.

After observing for a while, Yang Fan roughly figured out that most of the cultivators around him were at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages.

As for cultivators at the Core Formation stage, you can only see one occasionally.

However, even if only one Core Formation cultivator appeared, all the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators present would respectfully step aside.

Yang Fan sighed inwardly, realizing that in the world of cultivation, strength was indeed paramount.

If one has sufficient cultivation, one can indeed move freely here.

He needs a large quantity of medicinal herbs, as he doesn't have enough to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pill. He must complete the procurement as soon as possible and then return with the supplies.

And so, Yang Fan immediately began selecting items around the stall.

Knowing that the quality of goods at each stall varied, Yang Fan was very careful in his selection. Moreover, to avoid being overcharged, he only purchased a small amount of medicinal herbs from each stall.

Several hours later, Yang Fan had purchased most of the medicinal herbs he needed, so there was no problem with the ingredients for refining the Heavenly Spirit Pill.

In addition to purchasing medicinal herbs, Yang Fan also bought some talismans and animal blood.

With these talismans and beast blood, he can make more talismans when he gets back.

Most of the materials for making talismans have been purchased.

After taking stock, Yang Fan had basically purchased all the supplies he needed.

After looking around, Yang Fan prepared to leave the square. He had already finished shopping and it was time to head back.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the crowd suddenly stirred.

"Look who's that?"

Someone shouted urgently.

A moment later, a gasp of surprise came from afar.

"It's the Flower Fairy!"

"Quick, the Flower Fairy has come to trade too!"

The crowd immediately stirred and surged toward the entrance to the square.

"The Flower Fairy? Who is that?"

Yang Fan also looked over curiously, wanting to see who this person, who could be called a fairy, was.

A moment later, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.

Immediately afterwards, a clear, melodious sound of jade pendants came from the entrance of the square.

Yang Fan hurriedly looked over, and just then, a gentle breeze blew in from the entrance, carrying a faint fragrance that drifted past everyone.

"Wow, it smells so good! The Flower Fairy hasn't even arrived yet, but the fragrance has already reached us."

Some people smacked their lips, clearly filled with envy.

A person next to him glanced at the man and then snorted coldly.

"Don't get any funny ideas, kid. The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers is not someone we can lay a finger on."

"If you anger her suitors, you might get beaten up."

The man chuckled.

"I certainly don't know that."

A moment later, the sound of jade pendants grew louder and louder, and the people guarding the entrance subconsciously made way for them.

A moment later, a woman dressed in pink walked in from outside.

The woman's face was covered by a light veil, and she was followed by more than a dozen maids.

Some of these maids carried swords, while others held knives; each had sharp eyes and glared angrily at their surroundings.

The people around immediately stepped back, and the woman in pink standing in the center smiled sweetly at everyone around her.
