Chapter 785: The Tianyuan Auction

Since there were no Divine Realm experts, Divine Kings were almost the pinnacle of existence in the Divine Domain.

However, even among Divine Kings, there were vast differences.

Take Divine King Lingzhe, for example; his strength was enough to instantly kill four or five ordinary Divine Kings.

Even if he were besieged by many Divine Kings, he had ample confidence to escape.

Killing one of the Ten Great Divine Kings was nearly an impossible task.

If Ji Canglan's strength truly reached that level, it would be extremely difficult for Ye Yuan to kill him.

Ji Canglan was not only powerful himself; behind him stood the entire Medicine King Hall.

Being able to seal off news from the Medicine King Hall so thoroughly, Ji Canglan's control over it must have reached a level unimaginable to ordinary people.

After his rebirth, Ye Yuan had always been quite satisfied with his progress in strength.

But now, it seemed that this revenge would not be easy to achieve!

Not to mention anything else, just reaching the level of the Ten Great Divine Kings was an extremely difficult task.

After all, each of the Ten Great Divine Kings had mastered several Supreme True Intents.

And Ye Yuan, at present, had only mastered one Supreme True Intent.

The gap between them was by no means insignificant!

Supreme True Intent sounded simple, but truly comprehending it was exceedingly difficult.

This selection tournament for quasi-holy sons gathered geniuses rare in ten thousand, yet aside from Ye Yuan, who among them could comprehend Supreme True Intent?

"Alright, if your Meteor Merchant Guild has any other news about the Medicine King Hall, send it all to me. Also, keep an eye on the Medicine King Hall; if anything happens, notify me immediately. I will decide when to give you the other pill formulas based on your information. This is the formula for the fifth-grade Rejuvenation Pill, along with the refining technique. Take it." Ye Yuan casually tossed a jade slip to Zhao Qian and said.

Logically, obtaining the formulas for Ye Yuan's other pills should have been a cause for joy. But now, Zhao Qian felt that the formula was somewhat hot to the touch.

"If Young Master Ye wants accurate information about the Medicine King Hall, I'm afraid you'll have to seek out the Heavenly Secrets Tower. As you know, with our Meteor Merchant Guild's capabilities, we cannot probe too deeply." Zhao Qian frowned.

Ye Yuan sneered, "Heh, the Heavenly Secrets Tower has always been of unknown origin and unfathomably powerful. Who knows if they have any connection with Ji Canglan? If I really go to them, I might be sold out without even knowing! Zhao Xingchen's daughter... I can trust!"

In the past, the Medicine King Hall had cooperated with various merchant guilds, and Ye Yuan had considerable faith in Zhao Xingchen's character.

If he had to choose a force to gather information, the Meteor Merchant Guild was clearly the most suitable.

That was why he had chosen to cooperate with them.

Zhao Qian, hearing a little brat address Zhao Xingchen by name repeatedly, found it somewhat precocious.

After a slight hesitation, Zhao Qian couldn't help but ask, "May I ask what relationship Young Master Ye has with my father...?"

Ye Yuan smiled, "When the time comes, you will know. But I never expected Zhao Xingchen to have disappeared as well. It seems the Divine Domain has truly entered a turbulent era!"

At this moment, Zhao Qian's heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

She felt as if the Ye Yuan before her had become a different person.

And this Ye Yuan exerted immense pressure on her.

Zhao Qian vaguely felt she had grasped something, but it was just a little off, always slipping through her fingers.

This feeling drove her crazy.

……

When Ye Yuan returned to his residence, the place was already deserted. Pei Wenqiang had also gone back to the Pei family to report, and wouldn't be back until tomorrow morning.

The others, still youthful at heart, had wandered off to various parts of the holy land. Only Tang Fan and Mu Yun remained, seemingly waiting for Ye Yuan's return.

With Ye Yuan's guidance, Tang Fan's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds over the past month.

During this time, he had also challenged Ye Yuan to a few sparring matches, but each time he suffered a complete defeat.

Tang Fan's swordsmanship grew faster, yet he still couldn't touch Ye Yuan.

The faster his swordsmanship, the faster Ye Yuan's footwork became, as if there were no limits.

Over the course of this month, the two had become friends who were both teacher and friend to each other.

Of course, Mu Yun's entry into the finals was entirely thanks to Ye Yuan's pills, so his attitude toward Ye Yuan needed no elaboration.

Among the six, the three of them had grown the closest.

"Ye Yuan, you're finally back. We've been waiting for you for half a day!" Mu Yun complained.

Ye Yuan asked curiously, "What are you waiting for me for?"

Mu Yun said excitedly, "We heard that Tianyuan Trading Company is holding an auction tonight, and there are said to be many good items. Tang Fan and I plan to go. Since you have nothing to do, why not come along?"

The auction held by the Chixia branch of Tianyuan Trading Company was naturally on a higher level than those in the cities below, so it was normal for there to be some good items.

However, with Ye Yuan's discerning eye, there weren't many things that could interest him.

But seeing Tang Fan and Mu Yun's expectant looks, he didn't want to disappoint them, so he agreed.

"Alright, let's go take a look. But for the auction, do you have enough Earth Essence Crystals on you?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

"Hey, you underestimate us! We may not be as wealthy as you, but we're no paupers either!" Mu Yun laughed.

It was already late in the day when Ye Yuan and the other two arrived at Tianyuan Trading Company, with little time left before the auction began.

Upon arriving at Tianyuan Trading Company, Ye Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked the two, "You dragged me here to the auction, but without an invitation from Tianyuan Trading Company, how do we get in?"

Items auctioned at such events were generally of high value; without sufficient wealth, one would have to keep a low profile inside.

Only the rich and noble could enter the auction; naturally, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could get in.

Tang Fan produced three jade tokens like a magician and said smugly, "Without ample preparation, wouldn't we just be making fools of ourselves?"

Ye Yuan was slightly surprised; it seemed these two had some connections. The level of the holy land was completely beyond that of the cities, yet they had managed to obtain three jade tokens in just one afternoon.

The three entered the auction hall of Tianyuan Trading Company, which was already packed with people.

It was only then that Ye Yuan realized the jade tokens they had obtained only allowed them to sit in the most remote corner, and he couldn't help but feel speechless.

"Oh, isn't this the great genius Ye? You've come to the Tianyuan auction too! A great genius like you, sitting in this obscure corner—isn't that beneath your status?"

Before Ye Yuan and the others could sit down, a very grating voice sounded from nearby.

Turning around, they saw Wu Jianqing and Peng Yan.

And beside Wu Jianqing stood a young man.
