Chapter #261. Damiana and Datura.Tian Fan and Patriarch Mao sat facing each other, both engaged in a serious conversation about various matters. Patriarch Mao agreed to Tian Fan's request to gather information about Xiahou Yan, and he also pledged to connect him with the Golden Dragon group in the coming days.Additionally, Tian Fan inquired about the issues facing the Mao clan. After being pressed, Patriarch Mao finally revealed the problem to Tian Fan. Mao Feng explained that when Alchemist Wan and his group stayed at their inn, they lost a three-star celestial-level spirit plant. The lost spirit plant was the Blue Lotus flower.Mao Feng explained that Alchemist Wan and his followers entrusted three spirit plants to him. This was done out of necessity as they were planning to do something outside the city of Hefei. Of course, in return for Mao Feng's assistance, Alchemist Wan promised to provide him with a generous reward. Before their departure, Alchemist Wan showed Mao Feng the t
Chapter #262. The Enemy of All Young Man"Father, look! That's Alchemist Wan and his followers," Mao Xi interrupted, pointing towards the north, where Alchemist Wan was talking to the three leaders of Hefei City.Tian Fan could see that behind the three leaders of Hefei, there were nine young men and women who had previously had conflicts with him. The nine young cultivators immediately looked towards Tian Fan when he glanced in their direction.An atmosphere of hostility was immediately displayed by the nine young cultivators. Of course, this drew the attention of Alchemist Wan and the three patriarchs of the Hefei City leaders who were with them."Father, that's the person who had a dispute with us in the restaurant some time ago," one of the young men spoke loudly, pointing towards Tian Fan. Instantly, it attracted the attention of everyone gathered outside the auction venue.Patriarch Ji, Patriarch Rao, and Patriarch Gu immediately looked in the direction pointed out by the young
Chapter #263. PromotionIn the main hall of the Yin Clan, Tian Fan and others chatted casually while waiting for the auction to begin. The ladies surrounded Tian Fan, asking numerous questions, seeking advice, and consulting him on general women's issues. Not only that, but some of them also openly discussed cultivation problems and challenges they faced.Tian Fan, generous with his knowledge, willingly shared his insights. He didn't hesitate to provide solutions when he knew the answers to their questions and concerns. Acupuncture and special massage techniques were part of his follow-up consultations.In a corner of the room, Patriarch Yin, Patriarch Mao, Patriarch Mi, and the head of the Emei Academy, Qiaofeng, sat together at a table, observing the women surrounding Tian Fan. They also paid attention to the young man who seemed earnestly listening to the problems of women of various ages, while his hands skillfully performed acupuncture and reflexology."Young man with talent, no
Chapter #264. Illusion PIllTian Fan, Patriarch Ying Hu, Patriarch Mi Rong, Master Qiaofeng, and several elders from the Emei Academy sat together in the special room number one for the auction. Clearly, Ying Hu provided the best spot for his guests.Meanwhile, Mao Feng and the five young girls are still at Patriarch Yin's residence as they are in the process of advancing to the next realm individually. The advancement of the six individuals is being closely monitored by Yin Shi, the patriarch's wives, two elders from the Emei Academy, and members of the elite Yin and Mi clans.The monitoring is done rigorously because Tian Fan mentioned that the advancement of the young ladies to the next realm would, to some extent, be different. Therefore, Yin Shi, the ancestor, decided to personally oversee the advancement of all five of them.Not long after, the auction event began. A young woman entered and stood in the middle of the courtyard. As she entered, the host followed, and a square arr
Chapter #265.Auction"Master, it seems that Master is busy. In that case, I won't disturb the great esteem Master's time. I'll take my leave," Tian Fan said politely."Yes, yes, just go!" Master Wan replied without looking at Tian Fan. He waved one hand, clearly indicating a subtle dismissal.Alchemist Wan and his subordinates focused on the glass box. They seemed busy trying to open it because they were having difficulty unlocking the box Tian Fan had given them.(Even until your old age, you won't be able to open that box manually. Ignorant fools.) Tian Fan thought.Tian Fan left their room. As soon as the door closed behind him, he quickly formed a hand seal."Open," he whispered.A joyful cheer erupted from Alchemist Wan and his subordinates as the crystal box's seal was lifted by Tian Fan.Only one last box remained unopened, serving as the key to executing his plan.Tian Fan grinned, then returned to the first special room. His arrival immediately drew the attention of the three
Chapter #266.True NatureEveryone could see Alchemist Wan still in a striking pose. Clearly, in everyone's eyes, Alchemist Wan's bloody fist was the result of hitting the glass of his own space.Everyone awaited what the three-star alchemist would do after such an act.Alchemist Wan immediately assumed a triumphant and arrogant posture."Patriarch Yin Hu, do you know how much wealth Alchemist Wan has?" Tian Fan casually asked, breaking the astonishment of Patriarch Yin and others in their room."I don't know, but I've heard rumors that his wealth equals that of a middle-class clan.""If that's true, then my estimate is that Alchemist Wan has around two to three million low-level spirit stones," said the patriarch.Tian Fan extended his right hand towards the patriarch, inviting him to shake hands. Of course, this left the patriarch puzzled. Without much thought, Yin Hu quickly accepted the handshake invitation from Tian Fan."Congratulations, patriarch. Soon, your treasury of spirit s
Chapter #267. Auction (2)Tian Fan and the others laughed as they watched Alchemist Wan go to the extent of taking the storage rings from his four subordinates to redeem his own blue lotus flower. It was evident that the best alchemist in the city of Hefei had spent all his wealth on it."Ehm, all auction participants, let's proceed to the next auction item," the host interrupted."The next auction item is this!"The host revealed a blue crystal box placed on the table."This blue crystal box was discovered by a hired cultivator. He found this box inside a cave not far from the city.""According to the auctioneer's information, this box cannot be opened. However, one thing is certain: there is a tremendous energy sealed within this crystal box," explained the host."Please, auction participants, exert your soul power to verify the truth of my words," the host said with a sweet smile.Whosh whosh whoshDozens of strong auras began to scan the blue crystal box.

Gaslighting"Very well, master in room number one," the host replied shortly.CLAP CLAPTwo claps from the host were promptly met by the quick movements of two servants approaching room number one.With ease, Tian Fan removed a ring from his finger and handed it to the servant, who would present it to the host as collateral.In just a few breaths, the host received the ring from Tian Fan."Please, miss, as a neutral third party, verify the contents of this storage ring for everyone," Tian Fan calmly said.The host nodded slightly, then exerted her soul power to inspect the ring's contents.The pretty lady's eyes widened, her mouth agape, and her face turned pale. Her hands trembled momentarily after she saw the contents of Tian Fan's storage ring."Miss… miss.. Is that enough proof?" Tian Fan asked."S-s-sufficient," stammered the host.Of course, this left everyone curious.WHOSH WHOSHTwo half-god cultivators hidden behind the clouds revealed themselves, approaching th
