Ye Tianfan waited until the two demon beasts seemed to have really died before slowly approaching them half a time later. After walking to the side of the demon beast, Ye Tianfan put it into his ring and finally let out a long sigh of relief. It's worth knowing that these two demon beasts were both mid-term demon beasts in the Split Spirit stage, and any one of them could thoroughly defeat him. Now he was temporarily safe, but not completely safe because this place was still the territory of Split Spirit stage demon beasts, and it was very possible that other demon beasts would come running over.

  With a wave of his hand, Ye Tianfan called over Xia Lingyin as well. As soon as she came over, Xia Lingyin anxiously said: "Brother, you've also trained enough now, and the time for you to go take the Wood Spirit Sect's assessment isn't far off either. Let's hurry up and leave, okay?" Although Xia Lingyin was asking a question, her straight gaze at Ye Tianfan made it clear that she obviously wanted him to agree.

  "Alright, we'll go soon, but next time it won't be just me participating, it will be the two of us. With your talent, you will definitely become an inner disciple or even a direct disciple." Because of this bountiful harvest, Ye Tianfan was also very happy and his tone became more cheerful.

  "Really? If that's the case, then I can go in too, right? That would be great! And I won't have to separate from my brother either. I thought for sure that once Brother joined the sect, we'd have to split up... Hehe." Upon hearing his sister's words, Ye Tianfan felt a surge of emotion and thought to himself that he must cherish this lovely and sensible little sister even more in the future.

  Ye Tianfan thought it was dangerous here, worried that some idle and annoying demon beasts would come to watch the excitement. If they were in the Yuan Ying period, it would be fine, but if the demon beasts in the Fen Shen period came, it would be a disaster. So he hurriedly took Xia Lingyun and rushed out wildly.

  "Alright, when the time comes for the entrance test, I'll hide my cultivation at the mid-stage of foundation building. Don't expose me then, got it?" Ye Tianfan said to Xia Lingyue and the others.

  "Alright," Xia Lingyue replied, then couldn't help but curiously ask in a low voice: "Why." Ye Tianfan was about to respond when Xia Lingyue's startled and hesitant tone suddenly occurred to him. He saw her say: "I know, you must be thinking of dealing with those two demon beasts the same way as 'playing dumb to catch the tiger', right, brother?"

  Listening to Xia Lingyue's words, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but sweat and feel embarrassed in his heart. Ever since he had used the two demon beasts' contempt for each other to kill them and gain an advantage, Xia Lingyue always kept saying "Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger" and "The fisherman gains from the situation". It was almost becoming her catchphrase. However, seeing her think this way, Ye Tianfan didn't bother explaining anymore, letting her think what she wanted as long as his true nature wasn't exposed.

  Two months later, the two finally reached the outermost edge of the forest. Ye Tianfan decided to rest for a night here. After more than half a year of nervous tension, both physically and mentally, he was exhausted. Although he still had to worry about human bandits, with his Yuan Ying stage cultivation and Fen Shen stage strength, who could be his opponent? The night passed quietly, without anyone disturbing them, allowing them to get a good rest.

  Three days later, Ye Tianfan arrived in a big city, which was one of the cities under the jurisdiction of the Muling Sect, called Muling City. The Muling Sect would bring new recruits from here back to the sect for testing, and even when disciples went out for training, they would generally pass through this place.

  "As soon as I entered the city, I heard someone say: 'Selling top-grade cultivation jade slips, cultivation speed increased threefold, only three top-grade spirit stones are needed, it's worth having! Everyone come and take a look, come and buy!"

  "Top-grade healing medicine is the best equipment for going out to practice or killing people and looting goods, as long as two pieces of top-grade spirit stone are available. Now there's not much left in stock, hurry up and buy if you want some!" someone else shouted.

  However, the actual quality of the jade slip was only slightly better than ordinary goods, and it was eventually sold to an interested person for three mid-grade spirit stones. The elixir seller's goods were similar in quality to the jade slip seller, but his luck was not good enough, and no one bought from him.

  Ye Tianfan strolled along the street, seeing that whether it was pedestrians or vendors on the main street, at least they were all at the foundation-building stage of cultivation. There were also a few golden elixir stage cultivators. Since he had to go into the city, Ye Tianfan thought about selling the demon beast corpses he had obtained. However, selling them to people on the street was not suitable. Not to mention whether others could afford it or not, even if they could, the city guards would not allow it. Because the city collected money from various merchant shops, if you sold something that wasn't up to standard, the city guards might turn a blind eye, but for big transactions like Ye Tianfan's, it was impossible.

  So Ye Tianfan prepared to arrange Xia Lingyue in a guest house and then went to inquire which store was the largest and most reputable.

  After finding a hotel and settling down, Ye Tianfan left the hotel. Of course, when he left the hotel, Ye Tianfan had already changed his appearance to that of a middle-aged man, even changing the vertebrae on his back, so that his height was reduced from nearly 1.8 meters to about 1.7 meters, and his spiritual consciousness also changed somewhat. This made it impossible for others to recognize him, thanks to the shrinking bone technique sorted out by his wisdom brain. It's just that Ye Tianfan was careful, after all, he still had to go to the Wood Spirit Sect, if he exposed himself, his plan would be ruined, and he was also worried that someone would kill him and steal his goods.

  He went to a tea house to gather information, and after inquiring here and there, he still felt that the Treasure Pavilion was the best. Not only was it the largest store in the entire city, but its reputation was also very good. So Ye Tianfan decided to go to the Treasure Pavilion.

  Jubaozhai, as the largest store in the city, is naturally located in the central area of the city, just a little to the side of the Wooden Spirit Sect's branch. The storefront is quite impressive. As Ye Tianfan approached the entrance, someone came out to greet him. A young shop assistant emerged and enthusiastically said: "Sir, what do you need? We are the largest store in this city, we have everything here, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

  Ye Tianfan didn't pay much attention to the enthusiasm of the shopkeeper's assistant, but instead said: "Call your boss out for a trip, tell him I have a big business deal to make with him."

  The shop assistant looked at Ye Tianfan seriously, making sure he wasn't lying, and then said: "Sir, please wait a moment, I'll go ask the boss to come out," and hurriedly ran upstairs.

  A moment later, a man in his early forties with a big belly came down. He was wearing high-quality silk and satin clothes. The shopkeeper took one look at Ye Tianfan and instantly knew that he had at least reached the Yuan Ying stage of cultivation, if not higher. He hastily apologized, "This Daoist friend, I'm truly sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. It's all because this young fellow didn't come to inform me sooner." After finishing speaking, he pretended to be angry with the shop assistant.

  "Where, where, I just came for a short while, it's nothing serious, and this little brother is also doing his job."

  Since the shopkeeper didn't pursue the matter, he directly entered the topic and said: "I don't know what kind of transaction this Taoist friend wants to do with me? To be honest, I'm very curious." Since the shopkeeper got straight to the point, Ye Tianfan also didn't pretend to be polite, but instead let the two people retreat a distance, so that he could take out the goods for the transaction.

  After the two stepped aside, Ye Tianfan poured out all the demon beasts he had obtained. As soon as they were poured out, the entire shop was covered by the aura of the demon beasts in the Divided Spirit Period. The Golden Elixir shopkeeper was fine, but the little second was sweating profusely and almost got scared to death. The shopkeeper's eyes widened when he saw these, knowing that although humans could hunt and kill demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, according to the agreement signed between the major sects of humanity and the ruler at the center of the forest, it was forbidden to bring in demon beasts above the Nascent Soul stage. Those who violated this would be killed by the ruler, which also made high-level demon beasts extremely expensive.

  Take a deep breath, the shopkeeper confirmed again and asked: "Senior, are you sure you want to sell it to our store?" Ye Tianfan nodded, and the shopkeeper saw him nodding and was overjoyed in his heart. He hurriedly said: "Sir, please wait, I'll calculate how much spiritual stone this is worth right away." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Ye Tianfan's agreement and quickly started calculating. Seeing the shopkeeper's appearance, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but curve up an arc at the corner of his mouth. Although he didn't know how much money it would be, he thought it wouldn't be less.

  Finally, the price was calculated. The shopkeeper took a deep breath and said: "Senior, your two Separation Period demon beasts are worth 7 million high-grade spirit stones, and the others add up to 2.8 million. But since you're a big client, let's just make it 10 million. What do you think?" He looked at him expectantly, afraid that he wouldn't agree, because if he could close this deal, he might be promoted to headquarters.

  Looking at Ye Tianfan's contemplative expression, the shopkeeper steeled himself and pulled out an invitation from his pocket. He said seriously to Ye Tianfan, "Senior, this is an invitation to the auction held by the headquarters of Jibao Zhan. There will be all sorts of treasures there. Even if you don't plan on buying anything, it's still worth going just to broaden your horizons. If you agree to sell it to me, I'll give it to you for free. What do you say?" After finishing his sentence, he looked at Ye Tianfan with a pained expression. It was worth noting that this invitation could be sold for nearly ten thousand high-grade spirit stones if taken to the market, but now it was being given away as a gift.

  Ye Tianfan also saw that this was the limit of what the shopkeeper could let go, so he nodded in agreement. The shopkeeper hastily took out 10 million high-quality spirit stones and gave them to Ye Tianfan, who was overjoyed and thought about inviting his sister to the best restaurant in town, Drunken Immortal Pavilion, for a good meal.
