Chapter 1685: Chapter 1554: The Three Main Ingredients
The Saint Heir auction of Northern Region Fei Xian City may have ended, but the shock it brought to everyone is far from over, and it seems to be getting more intense.
This time, the Saint Child Level strong people auction was such a shock to the Five Domains that even the normally aloof Western Regions Buddha and Demon Sects came.
After the auction, the Lord of Yuehua Dynasty suddenly spoke up, leaving everyone behind to announce something very important.
Two days after the auction ended, people in Fei Xian City were still discussing this matter everywhere.
"The world has gone crazy. It seems even Saint Child Level strong people are not invincible. Geniuses with various constitutions are emerging one after another, and even the Emperor’s sons are getting restless."
"It is inevitable. According to the Great Emperor’s prediction, the opportunity to become Immortal is in this era. If they miss it themselves, they won’t let their offspring miss it too."
"I have to say, that guy named Ye Fan really played it big this time and reaped great rewards!"
"You’re just envious. If you’re capable, why don’t you capture a few Saint Child Level strong people and auction them off too?"
Similar discussions can be heard in major cities of the Five Domains, with everyone, cultivators or ordinary people, talking about the auction of Saint Heirs.
Everyone knows that Ye Fan earned big this time, but he’s also playing with fire—auctioning Saint Heirs is equivalent to thoroughly offending people from these Holy Lands and Wu Shang Sects.
Now that the Immortal Academy has his back, those Holy Lands and Wu Shang Sects don’t dare to do anything, but once Ye Fan steps out of the Immortal Academy, they will surely act in secret.
Not to mention, just in these past two days, Chi Xia Sect, Weiyuan Sacred Land, the Gu Family, Eastern Domain Bei Li Family, Zhou Family, and more, have almost jointly issued an Execution Order.
Strong people from these Holy Lands and Wu Shang Sects came out in full force, wishing to find Ye Fan as soon as possible and kill him to avenge the Saint Heirs.
Ye Fan knows about these things too, but he doesn’t care at all. When he decided to auction the Saint Heirs, he had anticipated this result.
With the Old Bastard supporting him, even those Holy Lands and Wu Shang Sects do not dare to openly send their elders to assassinate him.
As for the young generation of experts, he hasn’t paid them any mind. Even when eighteen Saint Child Level strong people teamed up for a deadly trap, they couldn’t take his life; instead, he countered and killed them.
Now, in the whole cultivation world, among the young generation, except for the Emperor’s sons, no one is his opponent. He’s not afraid even if he’s outnumbered.
Before the end of the auction, Ye Fan had Bai Yan Wolf carve a large number of Transmission Array Platforms for him, allowing him to traverse the void anytime and anywhere. If he can’t win, can’t he at least escape?
Moreover, after these successive battles, his understanding of the Chasing Star Step has advanced another level. According to Bai Yan Wolf, unless it’s the array patterns of the Great Emperor level, no array patterns can trap him anymore.
This time, Ye Fan has certainly reaped a lot, not only obtaining a large number of Spirit Stones but also many Strange Stones, Spiritual Medicine, Treasure Medicine, and artifact refining materials, among other things.
Describing Ye Fan as having wealth equivalent to a nation is almost inadequate. Even those long-standing Wu Shang Sects might not be as wealthy as he is now.
This time, not only did Ye Fan make a huge profit, but the Treasure Pavilion also made a massive fortune.
Although the Treasure Pavilion took the lead, the commission drawn by the Treasure Pavilion wasn’t much, but with an extremely large base, the Treasure Pavilion still made a considerable profit.
Xiao Yue Pavilion.
It’s a small scenic spot in the backyard of the Treasure Pavilion’s office in Northern Region Fei Xian City, small yet grand, demonstrating great craftsmanship.
It can be seen that the person who designed Xiao Yue Pavilion initially spent quite an effort. Standing in the pavilion, one feels completely in harmony with heaven and earth, without any sense of discord.
Ye Fan stood on a rock that extended outwards near Xiao Yue Pavilion, facing the wind. The howling cold wind made his blue shirt flutter, and his black hair flew with the wind, like a Banished Immortal, almost wanting to ride the wind back.
In Xiao Yue Pavilion, Yaling, dressed in plain clothes, sat on a stone drum. Her beautiful eyes looked at Ye Fan without blinking, her eyes sparkling with extraordinary brilliance.
To be honest, she really didn’t expect Ye Fan’s growth rate to be this fast. Thinking back, when she first chose to draw him in, there was indeed some element of risk.
But now it seems that her choice was very correct; Ye Fan is not a fish in a pond. Sooner or later, he will soar high and leave the young generation far behind.
The Xuanwu City genius competition is still fresh in her memory. Back then, Ye Fan was still very weak, but he had already shown immense potential.
And now, he has grown to the point where even the Saint Masters of major Holy Lands have to take him seriously. His speed of growth is unprecedented. In just a few years, he has grown from an ordinary little cultivator to a powerful existence that must be reckoned with by all major Holy Lands.
While Yaling was lost in thought, Ye Fan turned around, showing a bright smile, and said, "Sister Yaling, how much Spiritual Medicine have we acquired this time?"
"Uh..."
Yaling blushed slightly, and covering it up, she said, "We haven’t calculated it yet, but it should be about right. This time, you’ve emptied the resources of several Holy Lands. It will take them decades to recover."
"They brought it upon themselves. As long as they don’t provoke me, I’m still a very kind person." Ye Fan said with a broad smile.
"Give me a break. Kind? If you were kind, you wouldn’t have slain so many Saint Child Level strong people. If you weren’t kind, even Gu Xiao might not have escaped death." Yaling laughed, gave him a look, and said.
"Ahem..."
Ye Fan coughed as a disguise, then said, "Why not have them bring all the Spiritual Medicines here, and we can count them together?"
"This plan is wonderful!"
Yaling smiled slightly and ordered the staff responsible for sorting the spiritual medicines to bring them all over.
Soon, the small Xiao Yue Pavilion was filled with various spiritual medicines, treasure medicines, and divine medicines.
Of course, these had already been roughly sorted and categorized, so Ye Fan and Yaling worked quickly.
After an hour, Ye Fan waved his sleeve, collecting all the spiritual and treasure medicines, a trace of worry appearing on his face.
Undoubtedly, this auction of the Saint Heir had yielded tremendous rewards, not only obtaining millions of catties of spirit stones but also almost gathering all the materials needed to refine the Soul Gathering Pill.
After cataloging and comparing, Ye Fan finally confirmed that all the materials needed for the Soul Gathering Pill were complete, except for three main herbs.
The human soul is the most mysterious thing. Even the Great Emperor may not fully understand the mysteries of the soul, though they have always been pondering the path to longevity, their understanding is certainly deeper than ordinary people.
So, once the divine soul is damaged, it becomes a permanent wound. Even the strongest cultivators will die if their soul scatters.
The Soul Gathering Pill is a legendary immortal formula that can reunite a scattered soul of a cultivator, effectively reviving the dead.
Because the effect of the Soul Gathering Pill is so heaven-defying—essentially reviving a dead person—the materials needed to refine it are extremely rare.
After years of persistent effort, Ye Fan had collected only a small portion of it, and the main herbs required for the Soul Gathering Pill were far more numerous and precious than those needed for other elixir pills.
This time, Ye Fan had specially listed these spiritual medicines and materials in the auction, yet he still couldn’t gather them all.
The three missing main herbs are called the Three-Life Lotus, Fake Dragon Pearl, and Immortal Elixir Essence.
"The Fake Dragon Pearl, also known as the Earth Life Fruit, Earth Gall, is a mythical fruit born of the earth, existing only in records, and no one knows if it truly exists. However, it is said that the third-generation Earth Master obtained one and lived half a lifetime longer after refining it."
Growing up in the Treasure Pavilion, Yaling had knowledge of various rare treasures. Upon seeing the names of these main herbs, she was secretly astonished.
Not only these three, but other main herbs and auxiliary medicines are also very precious. It’s already quite heaven-defying that Ye Fan could gather all the auxiliary medicines and obtain three of the main ones.
"The Fake Dragon Pearl is easier to find. I have inherited the first-generation Earth Master’s legacy, so if such a thing exists, I believe I can locate it. But the Three-Life Lotus and Immortal Elixir Essence are far more difficult." Ye Fan frowned.
Indeed, he had never even heard of such a thing as the Three-Life Lotus, while he was aware of Immortal Elixir Essence. But now, even Immortal Elixir cannot be seen, let alone its essence.
"Legend has it that within the Supreme Immortal Ridge exists a plant called ’Xuanwu’, a type of immortal elixir, but no one has seen it. Only those who reach the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Layer Heaven, or prove the Dao and become Emperor, can freely enter and leave the Forbidden Zone to collect the undying immortal elixir."
At this point, Yaling sighed deeply and said, "Unfortunately, the current strongest human combat power cannot reach that level. No one dares to venture into the forbidden zone, making obtaining Immortal Elixir Essence extremely difficult!"
"So there’s still hope, but what exactly is this Three-Life Lotus? Why have I never heard of it?" Ye Fan asked.
After obtaining the ancient formula for the Soul Gathering Pill, Ye Fan had consulted Elder Xuan, but unfortunately, Elder Xuan had no definitive answer.
The reason he knew about this ancient formula is that a Great Emperor had once refined a cauldron of Soul Gathering Pills, reviving a beloved companion, thus leaving behind this elixir recipe.
"Three-Life Lotus..."
Yaling gave a bitter smile and said, "No fear of discouraging you, but no one has ever seen such a thing. It’s only been vaguely described in ancient texts. Many strong people speculate that this medicine grows along the Immortal Path, not in our world at all..."
Hmm?
Ye Fan was dumbfounded; how could he possibly find it? Who knows when the Immortal Path will open? He can wait, but can Su Liuli wait?
"Don’t be too discouraged, perhaps it could be replaced by another immortal elixir," Yaling softly comforted seeing Ye Fan’s slightly off expression.
"I’m not discouraged. If I could gather so many main and auxiliary herbs, I believe I can find these last three main herbs." Ye Fan lifted his head, his eyes shining with determination.
"Quasi-Emperor... I will definitely reach it, and it won’t take too long!" Ye Fan’s heart burned with boundless resolve.
For Su Liuli, he is willing to reach for the moon and dive into the seas.
To never abandon or give up, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will fight a hundredfold to achieve it!
This is a man’s promise to the woman he loves!
