Logically speaking, to be able to obtain Ye Yuan’s other medicinal pills’ formulas, this should be something deserving to be happy about. But now, Zhao Qian felt that these pill formulas were somewhat scalding to the touch.
“If Mister Ye wants to obtain the Medicine King Hall’s accurate information, probably only finding the Heaven’s Secret Tower will work. You also know that with our Meteor Trading Company’s strength, it’s impossible to inquire very in-depth information,” Zhao Qian said with a frown.
Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, “Heh heh, the Heaven’s Secret Tower’s origins were unclear to begin with. Furthermore, their strength is unfathomable. God knows if they have any relation with Ji Canglan. If I really went to find them, I might be sold and not even know it! Zhao Xingchen’s daughter … I can still trust!”
In the past, the Medicine King Hall had collaborations with the various major trading companies. Ye Yuan still quite trusted Zhao Xingchen’s character.
If he had to find a force to inquire for information, the Meteor Trading Company was clearly the most suitable.
This was also the reason why he would find the Meteor Trading Company to collaborate.
Zhao Qian listening to a snot-nosed brat calling Zhao Xingchen over and over again, no matter what, it somewhat had the taste of behaving like a senior.
Hesitating slightly for a bit, Zhao Qian still could not refrain from asking, “I wonder, what kind of relationship … Mister Ye and Father has?”
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “When the time comes, you’ll naturally know. But I didn’t expect that Zhao Xingchen actually went missing. Looks like the Divine Realm has really entered a period of trouble!”
The current Zhao Qian was surprised and bewildered in her heart.
She felt that the Ye Yuan in front of her seemingly became another person.
But this Ye Yuan gave her tremendous pressure.
Zhao Qian faintly felt like she grasped a little something, but it was just missing that tiny bit, that bit keep on slipping through her fingers.
This sort of feeling made her go crazy.
…
Ye Yuan returned to the residence, but the chambers were all deserted long ago already. Pei Wenqiang had returned to the Pei Family to report the completion of his task. He would only come back tomorrow morning.
The others had a youth’s temperament in the end, strolling around the holy land’s various places. There were only Tang Fan and Mu Yun, these two people, seemingly waiting for Ye Yuan to come back.
Tang Fan obtaining Ye Yuan’s guidance, just in this one month, his strength already soared by leaps and bounds.
In between this, he even went to Ye Yuan to compete several times. But each time, it was an utter defeat.
Tang Fan’s sword art had become faster, but it was still unable to touch Ye Yuan.
The faster his sword art, the faster Ye Yuan’s movement technique, seemingly forever without limits.
In this one month, the two people had a good teacher-student relationship.
Of course, Mu Yun being able to enter the grand finals was entirely thanks to Ye Yuan’s medicinal pill. His attitude towards Ye Yuan naturally went without saying too.
Among these six people, the three of them walked the closest.
“Ye Yuan, you finally came back. We’ve waited a long time for you!” Mu Yun grumbled.
Ye Yuan said curiously, “Waiting for me for what?”
Mu Yun said rather excitedly, “We heard that the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company wants to hold an auction tonight. I heard that there are quite a few good stuff. Tang Fan and I plan to go take a look. Since there’s nothing tonight, why don’t you join in too!”
An auction organized by the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company’s Crimson Afterglow Branch, the level was naturally not what those cities at the lower levels could compare to. Having some good stuff during the auction was also normal.
But with Ye Yuan’s horizons, things able to make him interested were really not many.
However, he looked at Tang Fan’s and Mu Yun’s anticipating expression. He felt bad about denying them invitation, so he agreed.
“Alright, go experience it then. However, going to an auction, did you guys brought enough earth essence crystals on you?” Ye Yuan said with a smile.
“Hey, you’re also looking down on the two of us too much! Although we aren’t as wealthy as you, we’re absolutely not paupers either!” Mu Yun said with a laugh.
It was already late right now. By the time Ye Yuan trio arrived at the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company, there was already not much time remaining from the start of the auction.
Arriving at the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company, only then did Ye Yuan suddenly recall something and could not help asking the two people. He said, “You guys dragged me to this auction, but we don’t have the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company’s invitation. How do we go in?”
The things being auctioned at the auction were normally all valued extremely highly. Without sufficient wealth, going in would only bend their backs.
Those able to enter the auction were either wealthy or noble. It was naturally impossible for some random tom, dick, or harry to go in.
Tang Fan pulled out three jade plaques like pulling a magic trick, saying smugly, “Without adequate preparations, wouldn’t coming over be losing face?”
Ye Yuan was slightly surprised too. It looked like these two brats had some skill. The holy land level was completely not what cities could compete with. They actually used just one afternoon’s time to get three jade plaques.
When the three people entered the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company’s auction venue, inside was already filled with people.
Only now did Ye Yuan know that the jade plaques the three of them had could only sit at the most remote corner, and could not help being speechless.
“Yo, isn’t that the great genius Ye? You guys actually came to the Heaven’s Destiny Auction too! Why is a great genius like you sitting in this out-of-the-way corner? Isn’t it a loss of dignity?”
Ye Yuan trio had yet to take their seats when an extremely piercing voice sounded out at the side.
Turning around to take a look, it was Wu Jianqing and Peng Yan.
While beside Wu Jianqing, there was still a young man.
Chapter 786 - Three-Lives Stone

“En? Elder Brother Jianqing, you know them?” the young man frowned slightly and said.
“Jiantong, didn’t you very much wanted to know who the sole Divine Traversing Realm in this competition is? It’s him!” Wu Jianqing said with a cold smile.
The young man’s eyebrows raised up, and he said disdainfully, “I was wondering if he had three heads and six arms. Turns out that it’s also merely just like this! Eighth Level Divine Traversing Realm, what can he accomplish reaching the grand finals? Looks like your Ye City’s competition zone truly has nobody! Boy, I heard that you’re very cocky. Hope that the competition this time, you and I don’t run into each other!”
This young man called Wu Jianqing as his elder brother. He was probably a member of the Wu Family.
But his appearance was very arrogant; it was a manner as if he was number one under the heaven, pissing people off.
Ye Yuan played it down and said, “Is that so? I think so too, huhu.”
Wu Jiantong’s expression fell when he heard that and said with a cold smile, “Looks like you still don’t know who this Young Master is, right? A measly little Eighth Level Divine Traversing actually dares to utter this sort of big talk. Not afraid of your teeth falling out!”
Ye Yuan did not lack resources currently. With the support of medicinal pills, his cultivation speed was very quick. One month’s time, Ye Yuan already broke through to the Eighth Level Divine Traversing.
Wu Jiantong was very arrogant, but he had the capital to be arrogant too. His age was only around twenty plus years old, yet he already reached N
inth Level Boundless!
“Don’t know, and don’t want to know either.”
Ye Yuan’s manner actually did not attach importance to Wu Jianting in the slightest.
Wu Jiantong was clearly someone arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. His temper flared up with a stroke.
“Brat, you have balls! This competition, you’ll die very horrible! Elder Brother Jianqing, let’s go to the reserved box for honored guests. Let these bumpkins squeeze in this corner!”
This place was the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company’s area. Wu Jiantong naturally had to give some face and could not very well get into a fight.
After the three people left, Ye Yuan, Tang Fan, and Mu Yun took their seats. Tang Fan gave Ye Yuan a thumbs up and said, “Brother Ye is indeed impressive, to actually even think nothing of Wu Jiantong!”
Ye Yuan was curious too as he said, “Why? Is he famous?”
Mu Yun said with a smile, “More than just famous! The Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time, Wu Jiantong is a favorite contending for the championship second only to Nalan Chu! Offending him, Brother Ye will probably have to be a little careful in the competition this time. Only Brother Ye doesn’t recognize him. If it were another person, they would probably have to take a detour around.”
Ye Yuan touched his nose and said smilingly, “So impressive? Looks like I’ve offended someone I shouldn’t offend!”
Mu Yun said speechlessly, “Brother Ye’s strength is outstanding. But it’s best to be a little more careful still. The grand finals is a fierce struggle. Be slightly lacking in strength, and one will likely get eliminated. The Wu Family is powerful. If any schemes surface, it might be detrimental to Brother Ye.”
Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, “Even if I don’t provoke him, Wu Jianqing would probably think of ways to make him come and provoke me too. This selection competition ultimately still depends on one’s own strength.”
The three people were just speaking when a coquettish madam walked up to the stage and said in a clear voice, “Appreciate everyone honoring with a visit, coming to our Heaven’s Destiny Auction. This lowly self is Cai Yue. I believe that friends who frequently come to the Heaven’s Destiny Auctions won’t be unacquainted with this lowly self. Enough talk, we’d better go into the main topic. Today’s auction items have a total of 13 articles. I believe that everyone came today for that finale holy artifact at the end. As for what that holy artifact is, allow this lowly self to keep you guessing and leave it till the end to unveil!”
This Cai Yue was clearly an auction veteran. Just a few simple words stirred up everyone’s appetites fully.
Holy artifact, this was something not often seen in Rank Nine Holy Lands!
One had to know that holy artifacts were things that Dao Profound Realm powerhouses used. Each item was worth a city.
The Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company was also immensely wealthy, that was why they would take this sort of thing out to auction off.
“I already heard rumors when I came this time. Didn’t think that it’s really a holy artifact!”
“Big Sister Cai Yue, don’t leave us hanging. Quickly tell us just what on earth this finale holy artifact is!”
“Yeah, at most, accompany you to sleep later as compensation. Quickly tell us.”
“Haha …”
No idea who quipped such a sentence either, making a series of loud laughter emit from beneath the stage.
However, although this Cai Yue’s age looked slightly older, she maintained her looks extremely well and even had a mature appeal that young girls could not compare to. With every movement, it would have a massive charm to men. Those whose willpower were slightly weaker could not keep it under control at all.
Cai Yue did not get angry when she heard it either. She said with a coquettish smile, “If this lowly self dares to agree, I wonder if this hero dares to really sleep with this lowly self or not?”
With her smiling like this, beneath the stage actually became silent. No one dared to answer.
Ye Yuan swept over everyone and could not help being puzzled.
One had to admit that this madam was indeed extremely stirring. Why did everyone avoid her like avoiding snakes or scorpions with a jest?
“Hey, this woman’s looks aren’t bad. Why does everyone all seem to be very afraid of her?” Ye Yuan asked curiously.
But after waiting a long time, those two kids did not respond.
Turning his head to look, he saw that those two brats were already in a daze. Clearly, they had their souls hooked away by this madam already.
Ye Yuan was helpless and reached his hand out to smack each of their heads. Only then did the two people startle awake.
“Ouch! Brother Ye, what did you hit me for?”
“If I did not hit you guys, your divine souls would have ran away with her!” Ye Yuan said huffily.
The two people’s face flushed red, but their eyes still kept glancing over at Cai Yue.
“Heh, the two brats are new here, right? This Cai Yue is a famous black widow who has already jinxed seven husbands to death. Who dares to be intimate with her?” suddenly, a somber voice sounded out beside.
Ye Yuan trio turned their heads over to look, they saw a black-robed man who wrapped himself up tightly.
Looking from the outside, his sex and strength could not be discerned at all.
But in an auction, this kind of people was common too. Most did not wish to expose their identities. Ye Yuan thought nothing of this too.
But hearing this person’s words, Tang Fan and Mu Yun were stricken with fear. Their gazes when looking at Cai Yue again were the same as the others.
Such a woman, wouldn’t whoever encounter her have to die?
Cai Yue could not help sighing bitterly when she saw the situation and said, “I knew that you men, not one are genuine and sincere!”
This sigh was truly dazzlingly charming, making quite a few people under the stage somewhat unable to endure.
This Heaven’s Destiny Auction being so prosperous was probably not unrelated to this Cai Yue.
Even if this woman could not be touched, having a look also made people lose their heads in ecstasy!
“Alright, alright, making me out to be a shrew. Let’s better return back to business. Everyone, come take a look at today’s first auction article!”
As she said, Cai Yue clapped her hands. A servant presented the first auction item.
Cai Yue urged with her essence energy, removing the restrictions on the auction article, but it revealed a fist-sized rock.
When Ye Yuan saw that stone, his gaze could not help turning intent. Clearly, he had already recognized the origins of this stone. But the others all had blank looks, no idea why the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company would bring such a lousy stone out to auction.
Cai Yue said with a smile, “Today’s first auction article, everyone might be a little foreign. But make sure not to look down on it! This rock is called Three-Lives Stone; it is a heaven and earth miraculous item. With it, it’s practically having an additional life!”
Chapter 787 - Sucker
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Three-Lives Stone! It’s actually the Three-Lives Stone of the legends!” someone suddenly exclaimed beneath the stage. Clearly, he had heard before the renown of the Three-Lives Stone.
But this Three-Lives Stone was extremely rare. Therefore, they did not recognize it either.
Cai Yue’s words stirred up the atmosphere beneath the stage all at once.
Having an additional life, this to all martial artists, was a deadly temptation.
Cai Yue smiled enchantingly and said, “Looks like someone heard of Three-Lives Stone before. But I think that the majority of the people might still be more foreign to it. Three-Lives Stone isn’t a medicinal pill, but it’s more impressive than most miracle elixirs! Martial artists only have to refine it and fuse it into their bodies. When they reach a state of impending death, it will ac
tivate on its own and can let you recover to your peak state within ten breaths of time; it is definitely a superb item to preserve one’s life!”
The moment these words came out, the crowd burst into an uproar.
This kind of function could simply be hailed as heaven-defying!
“Cai Yue, what’s the base price of this Three-Lives Stone? I must buy it!” Someone was already too anxious to wait beneath the stage.
Such a heaven-defying item naturally aroused quite a few people’s covetous eyes.
Quite a few people were already itching to give it a go, wanting to bid for this Three-Lives Stone.
Cai Yue saw that the fire was almost there before slowly opening her mouth and saying, “The first auction article, one Three-Lives Stone, the starting auction price is 10 million earth essence crystals! Each increase in price mustn’t be less than 1 million!”
“20 million earth essence crystals!”
“25 million earth essence crystals!”
“30 million earth essence crystals!”
…
The moment Cai Yue’s voice faded, the price of the Three-Lives Stone was directly raised by 20 million earth essence crystals.
Spending 30 million to buy a life, they felt that it was too cheap.
Except Ye Yuan, Tang Fan and Mu Yun were unbelievably moved.
“31 million earth essence crystals!” Tang Fan could not resist shouting too.
But his yell was surpassed by people very soon. An increase in price by a million seemed to be entirely too inferior to show in public at this time.
Ye Yuan could not help rolling his eyes and said, “Don’t increase the price anymore! This Three-Lives Stone is already at a premium. There’s no need to keep increasing it. Such a small piece of Three-Lives Stone, at most it’s also just worth 20 million earth essence crystals.”
Tang Fan said in surprise, “This thing can give an additional life. 30 million earth essence crystals aren’t considered a lot, right?”
