Shang Bao Tower.
The largest auction house in Hanshan City.
In this place, as long as your wealth is sufficient, there is almost nothing you cannot buy.
Powerful weapons, miraculous elixirs, profound cultivation techniques, slaves, beauties... even all sorts of treasure intelligence scattered across heaven and earth, everything is available.
With Ling Dan Shangren leading the way, Ling Fan and Lan Gu entered Shang Bao Tower almost without any obstruction, and received the most distinguished treatment.
"Tower Master, Ling Dan Shangren requests an audience."
"Ah! Shangren has arrived, quickly invite him in. I guessed Ling Dan Shangren would visit in these two days, I didn't expect him to come so coincidentally."
In the most luxurious grand hall deep within Shang Bao Tower.
Several immensely powerful figures were discussing something.
The person in the lead was dressed as a wealthy man from the secular world, extremely dignified and luxurious, adorned with various treasures that exuded an overwhelming aura of nobility.
This person was the Tower Master of Shang Bao Tower.
In addition, there was a burly man clad in crimson battle armor, his every muscle seemingly containing boundless explosive power. He was also a prominent figure in Hanshan City, the Sect Master of the Ancient God Sect, Gu Luo.
It was said that this person had obtained the body-refining secret techniques of an ancient high-level Great Emperor in a cave dwelling ruin deep in Hanshan. The Great Emperor's physique was honed to unparalleled toughness, comparable to divine beasts, possessing astonishing strength.
There were also two other powerful individuals whose auras were no weaker than the Tower Master of Shang Bao Tower and the Sect Master of the Ancient God Sect.
"Ling Dan Shangren, what brings you here?"
The Tower Master of Shang Bao Tower spoke familiarly upon seeing Ling Dan Shangren.
"I don't visit the Three Treasures Hall without reason," Ling Dan Shangren said.
The Tower Master of Shang Bao Tower immediately noticed Ling Fan and Lan Gu, who had followed Ling Dan Shangren in.
"Oh? Are these two Shangren's juniors?"
"No, come, let me introduce you all. This is Ling Fan, Young Master Ling! Young Master Ling, these are the renowned Tower Master of Shang Bao Tower, the Sect Master of the Ancient God Sect, and the Patriarch of the Jin Clan."
"Oh?"
The Tower Master of Shang Bao Tower, the Sect Master of the Ancient God Sect, and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
What was the identity of this seemingly ordinary young man that Ling Dan Shangren treated with such respect, calling him Young Master Ling.
"Everyone, please keep this quiet. This brat is fierce and my enemy. I have temporarily appeased him and brought him to the Tower Master of Shang Bao Tower to auction the Myriad Emperor Blood Fruit. Later, I request all of you to join forces and help me suppress this brat!"
Ling Dan Shangren signaled to them and transmitted his message secretly.
The Tower Master of Shang Bao Tower, the Sect Master of the Ancient God Sect, and the others were all cunning old foxes. They immediately understood, but on the surface, they remained composed and enthusiastically greeted Ling Fan.
"Where is the Myriad Emperor Blood Fruit?"
Ling Fan noticed the subtle movements of these old foxes.
However, he did not expose them.
Instead, he got straight to the point.
"This..."
Ling Dan Shangren appeared somewhat embarrassed.
But seeing Ling Fan's resolute attitude, as if he would not rest until he obtained the Myriad Emperor Blood Fruit, he had no choice but to brace himself and speak to the Tower Master of Shang Bao Tower, "Fellow Daoist Shang Bao, is the Myriad Emperor Blood Fruit still in your possession? Has it not been auctioned yet?"
The Tower Master of Shang Bao Tower glanced at Ling Dan Shangren, then at Ling Fan, and said, "It is indeed still in my possession. I was preparing to auction this rare treasure as the final item. Why, Shangren, do you wish to use this treasure for alchemy?"
Ling Dan Shangren shook his head and said, "It is not I who wants it, but this young friend, Young Master Ling. He wishes to refine a high-grade Emperor Pill with the Myriad Emperor Blood Fruit, and he is in need of this item!"
"Him? A high-grade Emperor Pill?"
Upon hearing Ling Dan Shangren's words, the powerful individuals present all sneered.
"What a joke! A high-grade Emperor Pill is a supreme treasure, capable of forcefully elevating a mid-stage Great Emperor to a high-stage Great Emperor, with infinite applications. At the very least, it requires a high-grade Emperor Pill Master to refine it. If not a high-grade Emperor Pill Master, then at least a peerless expert at the level of a ninth-rank Emperor Venerable can refine a high-grade Emperor Pill through their own inherent strength and vast Emperor Dao origins. On what basis does this brat claim this? Is he a high-grade Emperor Pill Master, or a ninth-rank Emperor Venerable?"
Ling Dan Shangren said, "Stop, stop, fellow Daoists, please do not say any more. This Young Master Ling is not to be trifled with. If you anger him, be careful that you do not suffer the same misfortune as I. If Young Master Ling had not suffered severe Dao injuries, then relying solely on his peerless physique, none of you present would be his match."
Ling Fan stared at Ling Dan Shangren with a cold expression.
This old fellow was clearly fanning the flames and causing trouble for him.
As expected.
The Sect Master of the Ancient God Sect, Gu Luo, was the first to step forward.
He glared at Ling Fan with slanted eyes and said, "Ling Dan Shangren claims your physique is peerless. I cannot agree with this statement. In front of me, Gu Luo, who dares to claim peerless physique! Today, I shall test how different your physique is, to dare to speak so boastfully."
"Oh dear, let's not spoil the harmony. Fellow Daoist Gu Luo, quickly sit down! Although your physique is extremely powerful, you may not gain an advantage against Young Master Ling. It is best for you not to make a move, at least you can save face, and not lose face like I did."
Ling Dan Shangren said.
His words, however, made it worse.
This immediately made the Sect Master of the Ancient God Sect completely indignant.
He stepped out like an iron tower, causing the entire grand hall to shake.
Ling Fan's eyes were calm, and he looked at the Sect Master of the Ancient God Sect expressionlessly, saying, "My target is the Myriad Emperor Blood Fruit. I have no interest in teaching you a lesson."
"What! Say that again."
Gu Luo was so enraged he felt like his lungs would explode.
Since achieving perfection in body refinement, he had been renowned throughout the Hanshan region. When had he ever been looked down upon by a junior like this, daring to boast that he would teach Gu Luo a lesson.
"Fellow Daoist Gu Luo, please do not be angry."
The Tower Master of Shang Bao Tower stepped forward and said to Ling Fan, "Young friend, to be frank, the Myriad Emperor Blood Fruit is currently in my possession. If you can defeat Fellow Daoist Gu Luo, I will have no objection to giving you the Myriad Emperor Blood Fruit."
"Then you should bring out the Myriad Emperor Blood Fruit quickly. He is no match for me," Ling Fan said calmly.
"This is infuriating! Brat, what if you are defeated by my hands?"
Gu Luo gritted his teeth and said.
