Ah Ran gave a slight smile and sat down opposite Yang Ji.
Yang Ji didn’t bother with small talk and directly took out ten fragments of Quasi-Immortal King Weapons, saying, "How much are these worth? Exchange them all for Immortal Stone Veins, the higher the grade of the vein, the better."
"Fellow Daoist has good fortune; these are all fragments of Quasi-Immortal King Weapons, many of which are top-grade materials." Ah Ran, true to his association’s reputation, recognized the items with just a glance and smiled, "Ten pieces, well then, I can make a decision on this and give fellow Daoist half of a Superior Immortal Stone Vein."
"How does fellow Daoist feel about this?"
"Half a Superior Immortal Stone Vein?" Yang Ji tapped the table thoughtfully. Half a vein clearly wasn’t enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the Great Luo Immortal Sage, but it was better than nothing; he decided to take it one step at a time.
If need be, he could sell a Curse of Hastened Death to exchange for resources.
As long as he cultivated to Quasi-Immortal King level, he would be able to use the Wings of Time-Space to break through the barrier of the Immortal Realm and go to the Lower Realm to collect all of the Life and Death Immortal Sect’s Immortal Stone Veins, and then he wouldn’t have to worry about the Immortal Stone Veins for cultivation.

"Good, half a vein it is!" Yang Ji nodded.
"Fellow Daoist is forthright! Is there anything else you might need?" Ah Ran asked with a slight smile.
"I heard your association has an auction tonight; I wonder if I am qualified to attend?" Yang Ji suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Fellow Daoist, I am sorry, but this auction is of a very high standard, and one needs at least a Quasi-Imperial Monarch cultivation level to participate; I’m afraid that might not be possible for you." Ah Ran apologized with a sincere look.
"A Quasi-Imperial Monarch cultivation level?" Yang Ji frowned; he had wanted to see an Innate Supreme Treasure, but it seemed that was not possible.
After accepting the half of the Superior Immortal Stone Vein that Ah Ran took out of the Space Treasure Vault, he was ready to leave.
However, suddenly, the Wheel of Destiny within his sea of consciousness trembled slightly.
This discovery immediately thrilled Yang Ji, filling his heart with intense joy.
This feeling was exactly the same as when he had found a fragment of the Wheel of Destiny in the Treasure Vault of the Heavenly Demons in the Lower Realm.
The trembling of the Wheel of Destiny meant that there must be a fragment of the Wheel of Destiny within this Qianyuan Commerce Association.
This vibration occurred right after Ah Ran had opened the Space Treasure Vault, indicating that the fragment of the Wheel of Destiny was indeed inside the treasure vault of the Qianyuan Commerce Association.
Fragments of the Wheel of Destiny could not be tracked; encountering them was all due to destiny; it required a defiance of heaven’s will.
Yang Ji didn’t want to miss out and immediately said, "Fellow Daoist, may I ask you to open your esteemed association’s Space Treasure Vault again for me to have a look?"
"Oh? Does fellow Daoist fancy an item from our collection?" Ah Ran smiled, and without any pretense, took out a jade Ruyi, made a sweep in the air, and generously opened the Space Treasure Vault for Yang Ji to inspect.
The treasures inside were dazzling, wildly stimulating Yang Ji’s eyes. Merely glancing at them induced the urge to buy, and allowing someone to have a longer look at the vault was a way to stimulate consumption.
Yang Ji looked into the vault and, indeed, the Wheel of Destiny in his sea of consciousness trembled once again, locking onto an ancient bronze-colored war saber, whose handle was clearly forged from the Wheel of Destiny.
A Destiny Treasure fragment, inherently self-protecting, if it fell into the hands of others and was refined, it would detect danger in the web of destiny and trigger destiny protection, concealing its extraordinariness, conforming proactively to the refiner’s efforts, making it difficult to see what material it was.
Clearly, the Immortal King who crafted this war saber did not know that the handle was forged from a fragment of the Wheel of Destiny.
Yang Ji pondered briefly before asking intentionally, "What is this treasure? It looks quite extraordinary!"
"Fellow Daoist has quite the eye; this is one of the items for this evening’s auction, an Immortal King Artifact forged from Innate Copper Mother. Many who have ascended to Immortal King lack top-grade materials to create their own Immortal King Artifacts, and tonight’s auction will be attracting numerous Immortal Kings eager for it," Ah Ran said with a smile.
"I wish to participate in the auction!" Yang Ji said, looking at Ah Ran.
"That’s not possible, fellow Daoist! This auction truly requires Quasi-Immortal King cultivation to participate," Ah Ran replied, shaking his head.
"What if I possess the strength to kill a Quasi-Immortal King, would that qualify me to attend?" Suddenly, Yang Ji looked up, his eyes piercing, with a glint of sharpness, and spoke thus.
