Ye Tianfan returned to his own house and began preparing to collect things to complete the task. In fact, there was nothing good to collect, after all, Ye Tianfan had put all the important things into his storage ring.

  The next day, Ye Tianfan and Ba Tian bid farewell to several people before leaving. Although they were reluctant to part ways, they didn't say much, only reminding Ye Tianfan to be careful on the road.

  Ye Tianfan walked slowly on the road, observing the scenery along the way, and savoring the various aspects of life. Seeing an old man tottering by the roadside, Ye Tianfan quickly went forward to support him and sent him back home, arranging everything before leaving.

  Seeing someone bullying men and women, Ye Tianfan would also go up and perform a play of drawing swords to help those in need, these worldly affairs made him even more aware of the coldness of human relationships over time, and also made him cherish his hard-won family ties even more.

  Like this, Ye Tianfan walked for five days and only covered half of the journey. On this day, Ye Tianfan finally saw a city in front of him. He decided to rest for one night before continuing on his way, so he headed towards the city.

  As soon as he entered the city, the lively atmosphere quickly infected Ye Tianfan, making him truly experience the feeling of "the world is full of people coming and going for profit". Ye Tianfan saw the dazzling array of goods and was excited to browse around.

  Ye Tianfan looked around but didn't find anything he wanted to buy, so after strolling around, he decided to find an inn to stay in and planned to continue his journey the next day.

  Ye Tianfan found an ordinary inn in the city that was neither good nor bad, and he thought it was satisfactory, so he stepped inside.

  As soon as he entered, Ye Tianfan found his old acquaintance, the young master who had tried to force Xia Lingyin to be his concubine, was actually present here. When Ye Tianfan discovered him, this person also coincidentally discovered him.

  This young master looks much more mature, obviously having gone through a lot of things in the time when Ye Tianfan was not around, so he looks much more steady.

  He saw Ye Tianfan again, and this young master was obviously a bit embarrassed. However, he still came to Ye Tianfan's side and said: "I've seen seniors before, I don't know if seniors are here to attend the auction of this city?"

  It was great to see Ye Tianfan again, and although this acquaintance hadn't been very friendly in the past, it seemed that this young master had changed.

  Ye Tianfan smiled and said: "It seems that you haven't been doing well lately, how did you end up here?"

  "This senior, just call me Wang Qi, I should thank you too. If it weren't for you, how would I know that the people who served me in the past were all hypocritical towards me? As for why I came here, one reason is to attend the auction that will be held here soon, and take the opportunity to bid on a few things that my family needs, to make up for past mistakes." Wang Qi said.

  After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Ye Tianfan to speak and continued: "These days my father's life has been a bit difficult, the pressure from the family is huge, but it's not good to give me too severe punishment, so I was sent here to participate in the auction to make up for it."

  "Oh, it's actually going to hold an auction here. What are the main things being auctioned off? And what time is it?" Ye Tianfan was very interested in this auction and asked further.

  "As for the previous senior, this auction will sell not only elixirs, but also spiritual instruments and techniques. In addition, some strange items that can't be found with any use will also be auctioned off. The finale of this auction is a mid-grade spiritual instrument, whether it's an attack or defense type I'm not sure, only when the auction starts will it become clear." After finishing this speech in one breath, Wang Qi felt his mouth dry and tongue parched.

  But Ye Tianfan was most concerned about the auction date, and Wang Qi seemed to have forgotten to mention it. So Ye Tianfan asked: "Why didn't you say the auction date?"

  "Oh, sorry about that, senior. I forgot to mention it earlier, but the auction is coming up soon, just two days from now. If you want to attend, senior, all you need to do is pay 500 spirit stones and you can get in. The venue can hold up to 3,000 people." Wang Qi said apologetically.

  Ye Tianfan heard that the entrance fee was 500 Ling Stones, and suddenly said with surprise: "In that case, this auction house has already made a profit of 1.5 million just from the entrance fees." This number left Ye Tianfan speechless, thinking that he had killed so many demon beasts only to get an income that was equivalent to someone else's entrance fee.

  "Who says it isn't? However, this is the rule of the auction, no matter where the auction is held, there will be such a rule, only the amount collected is different. Moreover, this little money is nothing but a drop in the bucket for those who can enter." Wang Qi explained to Ye Tianfan.

  "Uh-huh, thanks, I think I'll attend when the time comes. By the way, are you also staying at this inn?" Ye Tianfan asked.

  "Yes, I live in room number three of the Tianzi Building. If you need any help with anything, please don't hesitate to come find me," Wang Qi said respectfully.

  "Alright, I'm done, if you have anything to attend to, you can go ahead and leave." Since he had already inquired about the situation clearly and didn't need his help with anything else, Ye Tianfan said so.

  "In that case, I'll take my leave now. I still need to go shopping at the stores here." With that said, he walked out of the inn.

  Ye Tianfan couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of things as he looked at Wang Qi's current state. Originally, a spoiled rich kid who might have spent his whole life in idleness had actually changed and become gentle and courteous to others because of him, and even Ye himself, the one who had changed him, had become half a benefactor to him.

  Shaking his head, Ye Tianfan walked up to the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have any more rooms? If so, I'll take one."

  "Ah, you've come just in time! There are only a few rooms left now. If you'd arrived any later, they might have all been taken." The innkeeper said with exaggeration.

  Ye Tianfan knew that what the shopkeeper said was not true, but Ye Tianfan did not refute it. Instead, he said: "Since there is one, then give me a room."

  "Quickly, prepare a good room for our guest," the shopkeeper said loudly. Then he turned to Ye Tianfan and asked, "Sir, would you like to have something to eat? Our food is famous far and near, and our wine is also excellent!"

  "Then bring me a few small dishes, and another pot of wine. Have them delivered to my room after they're ready." Ye Tianfan said with a moment's thought.

  "Quickly, take this guest to his room and prepare some snacks to be sent up with him." The servant had just walked downstairs when he was called again to escort Ye Tianfan upstairs.

  "Please come this way." The shopkeeper made a welcoming gesture and led Ye Tianfan upstairs to a room.

  Ye Tianfan had just sat down in the room when wine and dishes were served, Ye Tianfan hadn't eaten well for a long time, after all, there weren't many people eating in the sect, and the food inside the sect wasn't good either.

  Ye Tianfan savored the small dishes and sipped on the fine wine, his face a picture of enjoyment. It had been a long time since Ye Tianfan had last indulged in such pleasures.

  Ye Tianfan went to bed early after finishing his meal, planning to go out and have a stroll around the streets again tomorrow.
