"What is that, flying around our territory."
"It shouldn't be an enemy. If it were an enemy, it would have been blasted to smithereens by the defense towers by now."
"It's so fast, I can't make out what it is. Is it the lord's pet?"
"I don't know. It looks like a person. I don't know when our territory got a person who can fly, and they seem to have wings."
"I've heard that angels, winged beasts, eagles, and elves all have wings, but I don't know which race this person belongs to."
......
The residents of the territory, seeing the light flying in the sky, were all curious. Because Zhou Yan's speed was too fast, they couldn't see him very clearly. However, they believed he was not an enemy, otherwise the territory's defense towers would not have let him go.
After a long while, Zhou Yan descended from high altitude, and they saw that it was their lord.
Thinking of the lord's incredible abilities, they understood. They were just very envious of the lord for possessing such a means of flight.
Afterward, Zhou Yan arrived at the [Martial Training Space] and found Diao Chan and the others were all engaged in combat training.
Real combat required constant fighting to improve. Fortunately, there were many of them, and their professions were all different. Coupled with the soldiers of the territory, they would also enter to undergo combat training.
Anyway, death was not possible here, so they could fight with all their might. Only in this way could they increase their combat experience.
It was just that the level of the [Martial Training Space] was still too low. If tens of thousands of people entered at once, the entire martial training space would likely be filled with people, which would not be good for everyone's combat training. Zhou Yan also wanted to upgrade the [Martial Training Space], but this required higher-level Spatial Stones.
High-level Spatial Stones were not easy to obtain. Zhou Yan had also obtained quite a lot from Origin Stones.
However, there were many buildings in the territory that required Spatial Stones. After purchasing a large batch from the [Great Wilderness Trading Market] last time, it was not realistic to obtain Spatial Stones in the short term.
These things could only be accumulated over time.
He also wanted to build a few more [Martial Training Spaces] for the people of the territory to use, but this kind of building was not something he could have just because he wanted it.
For the next period of time, Zhou Yan sparred with Diao Chan and the others in the [Martial Training Space] until evening. Only then did he embrace the two beauties for their daily required cultivation.
The people brought from the Yi Tian world had also entered the [Inheritance Temple] and would not come out for a short time.
Even Zhao Yun had not come out yet. Zhang Wuji and the others would not come out for at least a week.
Time quickly came to the next day. Many students had heard about the trading fair. Although they all wanted to participate, among the new students, very few were qualified to get an admission ticket.
After school in the afternoon, many senior disciples headed towards a certain place in the academy. One could often see groups of people riding flying artifacts flying through the air, and even quite a few teachers could be seen.
After meeting up with Ye Bufan and the others, Ye Bufan prepared masks for everyone. Zhou Yan was very confused as to why they needed to wear masks.
Ye Bufan explained, "This trading fair is a mix of people from all walks of life. Many people's items are of unknown origin, and they don't want to be discovered, so they will trade them through this trading fair."
"Naturally, they don't want to be seen, so they will change their appearance and disguise their features. Over time, many people find it novel, leading to ninety-nine percent of people dressing up as all sorts of characters to appear at the trading fair."
"In fact, there are quite a few such trading fairs all over the world. Each time, many precious items can appear. Therefore, we should also follow suit and wear masks so as not to be recognized."
"Coupled with our academy's style, which is known for its mystery, when entering places like trading fairs, it's best to hide ourselves if we can."
After Ye Bufan's explanation, everyone understood. However, Lin Tan curiously asked, "The organizers of this trading fair should be from the academy, right?"
To this, Ye Bufan shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but I guess there must be some high-ranking officials from the academy involved. After all, such a trading fair benefits both students and teachers, and the academy won't interfere too much."
Everyone put on masks. However, Zhou Yan had his own [Phantom God Mask], which had very powerful functions. It was his 'divine artifact' for navigating various virtual trading markets.
"Our Ye family is also involved in organizing trading fairs, just in the capital," Luo Yushuang replied.
"A single force cannot organize such a trading fair. However, there are some long-standing trading fairs that were originally organized by unknown figures. As their strength increased, more and more people participated, eventually forming large trading fairs. However, there are very few such trading fairs."
Ye Bufan explained as he led them towards a flying artifact.
Everyone boarded this flying artifact; without such a flying artifact, they simply could not go to the trading fair.
Moreover, such flying artifacts were very precious. Even with money, one might not have the channels to acquire them.
"There are many trading fairs around the world, but most of them are not safe. One often hears about robberies. I and Brother Fan encountered this before, so you must be careful of those trading fairs in the future."
Dong Qingyi also shared their past experiences, making everyone a little vigilant about the safety of trading fairs.
Ye Bufan nodded and continued, "The trading fair is a mixed bag, and no one can guarantee that someone won't make a move in secret. After all, many treasures appear at trading fairs, and it's not uncommon for people with intentions to resort to action if they can't acquire them."
"This depends on the security strength of the organizers of the trading fair. After all, each of us who participates in the trading fair does not enter for free. Each person has to pay one hundred thousand spirit coins to enter."
Ye Bufan also pointed out that the organizers of the trading fair were doing it for profit, otherwise why would they go to such great lengths and expend manpower and resources to organize such a trading fair?
Upon hearing this, they understood.
Li Qinglin heard this and asked, "So, with so many of us, have you paid the fees for us?"
Ye Bufan hooked Zhou Yan's shoulder with one hand and smiled slyly, "We have such a rich person here, the entry fee can be left to him."
Everyone looked at Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan touched his nose. Ye Bufan was really good at swindling him, even remembering to trick him in this matter.
However, an entry fee of one hundred thousand spirit coins per person was nothing to him.
"Don't worry, our total cost is less than one million. I'll cover this fee," Zhou Yan said generously.
"Then I won't be polite," Lin Tan naturally wouldn't be polite to Zhou Yan.
The others also laughed. They all knew that Zhou Yan was rich, and a million dollars was probably like one dollar to him.
Actually, they were wrong. In Zhou Yan's eyes, a million dollars wasn't even a cent.
After all, Zhou Yan had so much money that even he didn't know how much it was.
Ye Bufan introduced things about the trading fair all the way, letting them understand many unknown inside stories. This was the advantage of disciples from large families; they had more knowledge than Zhou Yan and the others.
Zhou Yan was also glad to have such friends. Otherwise, no matter how rich he was, he wouldn't have the connections to come to the trading fair.
Often, money alone couldn't buy everything.
Without influence and status, how would others invite you and give you face?
