Chapter 2372: Making a Backup Plan

skills just now, she couldn't help but take two steps back. She turned her head and shouted to Qin Chuchu and Xiao Mo in the audience: "Chuchu, Xiaomo, you guys hurry up and say a few words for me. K...After these words were spoken, everyone present nodded in agreement, feeling that it was a trap.

Ye Bufan said, “No matter what the reason, I always have to go. Since the opportunity has come, I can’t let it pass.”

Ximen Jiayin said, “In that case, I’ll go with you.”

Ye Bufan thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"If the other party is trying to lure us away, and you leave, we'll fall for their trap."

Zhongli Mei said: "Then let's go with the young master. That way, we won't be afraid of them playing any tricks!"

"That's right, we have so many people here. Even if they have some tricks, we're not afraid."

"This won't do."

"If they just wanted to get me out with the five-colored mystical stones, they wouldn't send so many people all at once. That way, they wouldn't have a chance to attack," Ye Bufan said.

"If I really have to take things down, then I won't be able to get them."

Hu Yaoyao said, "What should we do then"

"You don't have to worry about this, just follow my instructions."

Ye Bufan asked everyone to disperse for the time being, then took out the communication jade and sent a message to Zhao Huijing, the chief eunuch of the palace, asking him to come to the Gu Yi Men Medical Clinic.

In a short while, Zhao Huiying, radiant and looking healthy, walked in from outside. She had now shed her eunuch's attire and resigned from her position as head steward.

However, his cultivation level remains, and he is already a revered elder serving the imperial family, his status undiminished.

After entering, he respectfully said: "Ye Yixian, what can I do for you"

"I want you to help me look into something."

Ye Bufan said, "Someone told me that there will be a five-colored Xuan stone at tonight's Jubao Pavilion auction. Can you check if it's true"

"This is simple."

Zhao Huying agreed with a sound and sent out several messages. Soon, she had results.

"Doctor Ye, this is true. Just an hour ago, someone brought a five-colored mystical stone to the auction house and commissioned it to be auctioned tonight."

"Oh!"

Hearing that the five-colored stone had arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, Ye Bufan's heart immediately settled down a lot. It seemed that even if the other party wanted to fish, they truly brought out the bait.

"This is the Rejuvenation Pill I promised you."

"Ye Bufan said, raising his hand and waving it. A small jade bottle flew over."

Zhao Huiying took the jade bottle and was immediately overjoyed.

"Fairy Ye Yi, on behalf of my younger brother, I express my deepest gratitude for your kindness and generosity."

Ye Bufan waved his hand casually: "You help me arrange a private room at Ju Bao Ge tonight, the kind with the best privacy."

"This is simple, I've got it all covered."

Zhao Huying held a very high position in this imperial city, and the same was true at Jubi Pavilion. She quickly finished everything and then left.

After he left, Ye Bufan first went back to his room, changed his appearance, and then quietly left the Guyi Men Medical Hall.

Out of the imperial city, he flew westward, finally stopping in a small valley two thousand miles away.

Here mountains surround on all sides, silent and deserted, with only a few small creatures passing by occasionally.

He used his divine sense to scan a radius of a hundred miles, confirming that no one was tracking him. He immediately took out the battle flag.

As each banner was thrown out, waves of energy rippled, and soon a formation was successfully arranged.

This is a small teleportation array. Though not large, it's sufficient for teleporting ten people over short distances.

Then, another concealing formation was set up to hide the teleportation array.

In the cultivation world, some things are unavoidable. The sudden appearance of this five-colored mystical stone is very likely a trap set by the other party.

Leveraging the experience from the Great Shun Empire, it would be safest to set up a teleportation array here first and prepare a backup route for myself in advance.

I previously asked Xi Meng's voice, a powerhouse at the peak of the Mahayana stage, whose divine sense could scan up to eight hundred to one thousand miles. Such a distance is enough to escape the other party's detection.

Everything was set up, and he quickly returned to the imperial city of the Tianxing Empire. Then, within the Guyi Men medical hall, he set up another teleportation array.

This is the beauty of a spellcaster, everything done silently and undetected.

Ye Bufan knew that since the other party had already set a trap, someone must be watching him secretly.

So he didn't rush into action, instead returning to his room to make the best preparations.

As usual, the Gu Yi Men clinic showed no signs of difference. It wasn't until sunset that it closed its doors, and everyone returned to their rooms.

After explaining his plan, he directly sent Xi Men Jia Yin and the others to two thousand miles away using a teleportation array, asking them to wait for him there.

This time, regardless of whether the news about the Five-Colored Spirit Stone is true or false, he doesn't intend to return here. He will go directly to the teleportation array from there and leave Tianqiong Prefecture.

Everything was ready. Having sent everyone away, he once again changed his appearance.

This time, I dressed up as a ferocious middle-aged man with a long scar on his face.

Put on a black robe and quietly leave the ancient medical clinic, heading towards the auction at Jubao Pavilion.

After entering the Treasure Pavilion, he went straight to the back and said to a female attendant: "I have pills here ready for sale. Call your manager over."

After you showed him his Supreme Jade Token, you immediately ran to the backstage. Shortly after, a middle-aged man walked over.

"Distinguished guest, my name is Zhang Chao, the manager here. Is there anything I can assist you with"

Middle-aged people speak very politely, their smiles revealing the shrewdness typical of a businessman.

"I have some pills that I want to auction off at tonight's auction!" said Ye Bufan.

Zhang Chao shook his head: "Honorable guest, tonight's auction has already been arranged. How about I arrange it for you tomorrow night"

"No, I want these pills auctioned here under my terms and in the order I specify."

"This... esteemed guest, it truly cannot be done. This goes against the rules."

Although Zhang Chao spoke politely, his attitude had grown somewhat cold.

"Have a look at my pills first, then you can tell me what you think."

Ye Bufan said with a wave of his hand, a small jade bottle appeared in front of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's eyes held a look of disdain. As the chief steward for Zhu Baoguo, he had seen all kinds of pills and would never just change the rules on a whim.

But out of curiosity, he still took the small jade bottle and opened the lid.

When he saw the three small pills inside, his expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a high-grade Xuyi Pill!"

It's no wonder he's so distraught, Yuxidan is an eighth-grade pill that can help cultivators in the Dongxu realm improve their cultivation. It shows how precious it is.

Generally speaking, very few alchemists are able to refine this kind of pill. Even if there is a small output, it is quickly divided among the Void-Dwelling experts, so it would be impossible for them to auction it off.

So far, Jubi Pavilion has never auctioned any Xiyi Dan.

If these three pills are taken up, not only will a large commission be earned, but the auction will surely become famous.

"This honored guest, we agree to all your requests. You say when to auction this kind of pill, and how you want to sell it, our Jubao Pavilion will definitely do its best to cooperate."

When he came to his senses, Zhang Chao's old face was beaming like a chrysanthemum. The so-called ridiculous rules just moments ago had been thrown out the window.

At this moment, his gaze toward Ye Bufan was as respectful as an ancestor. If he missed this rare opportunity, once it was known by the higher-ups, I'm afraid even his position as the chief steward would be in jeopardy. expression darkened, and at this moment he realized he had underestimated a formidable opponent."The head of the house wouldn't do that, would he Refining ore is just the most basic operation for an...
