Gu Ran, the great elder of Yanshen Sect, is a great cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul Great Perfection level.

Even without entering the Spiritual Transformation stage, Gu Ran was already the most powerful person in the Southern Region.

The Nascent Soul is divided into four small realms: initial, intermediate, final and great perfection.

The first three small realms are okay. If there are powerful magic weapons and magical powers, the realm gap can be made up. But once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, it will be different.

For a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection, his Nascent Soul has already been fully formed and his spiritual energy is also very abundant.

This kind of cultivator is only one step away from condensing his primordial spirit and becoming a true spiritual cultivator. The only thing he lacks is an understanding of the heaven and earth.

It can be said that for a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, both the spiritual power in his body have reached the extreme.

This is also the reason why cultivators who have reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage are called great cultivators.

No one had expected that a great cultivator like Gu Ran would appear here.

When Mr. Xie and Luo Qian saw Gu Ran appear, they were also slightly stunned.

In particular, Luo Qian's eyes were full of vigilance, and he unconsciously took two steps back.

If he was facing other Nascent Soul cultivators from Yanshen Sect, Luo Qian would definitely not be afraid, but it was different for Gu Ran. This kind of great cultivator already had the power to kill him.

Elder Xie looked at Gu Ran and said, "It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Gu. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Gu would also come to participate in our auction. This is really surprising."

After Mr. Xie finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Jin who was lying limp on the ground.

At this moment, he also understood that this Jindan cultivator was no ordinary person, otherwise he would not have alarmed the appearance of Gu Ran, a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the Yuanying stage.

Gu Ran smiled and said:
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. Can you hand this person over to me now?"

Mr. Xie hesitated for a while, then shook his head: "No!"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Gu Ran's face instantly disappeared, and everyone else in the field also looked surprised.

No one expected that after Gu Ran revealed his identity, the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce would still refuse to back down.

Although the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce has its own rules, the other party is a great cultivator.

Moreover, this Jindan cultivator is not from their Southern Region, and the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce actually offended Gu Ran for such a Jindan cultivator.

No matter how you look at it, this isn't worth it.

"Why? Does your Chamber of Commerce know this person?" Gu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had already revealed his identity. He, the great elder of Yanshen Sect, wanted a Jindan cultivator, but the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce did not even give him the slightest bit of face.

If today's incident were to get out, it would undoubtedly damage the prestige of their Yanshen Sect.

Elder Xie said calmly: "This person is a guest of our Xianbao Chamber of Commerce. As long as he is within the scope of Xianbao City, our Xianbao Chamber of Commerce has the right to protect him!"

Gu Ran clenched his right fist tightly, but soon loosened it. He smiled and said:

"If that's the case, forget it. I don't want to break the rules of your Chamber of Commerce, but I want the things on this person."

This time, Gu Ran did not ask for Mr. Xie's consent, but directly took the Star Body Refining Technique from Zhang Jin's storage ring, and then gave Zhang Jin 60,000 top-grade spirit stones.

"My Yanshen Sect will never bully others by taking advantage of its power. Do you think that these 60,000 top-grade spirit stones are my purchase of your martial arts?" After saying that, Gu Ran left.

But before he left, he glanced coldly at Luo Qian and others not far away.

When they met Gu Ran's gaze, Luo Qian and the others were startled.

After Gu Ran walked away, Mr. Xie said to the crowd:

"My fellow Taoists, please disperse. I promise you that as long as you are in our Xianbao City, you will be safe. Unless you are a robber who kills and robs, no one dares to touch you."

The other monks all clasped their fists towards Master Xie, and each of them had a different expression on their face.

However, this incident will definitely spread in the Southern Region today.

In particular, the reputation of Xianbao Chamber of Commerce will be improved again.

After all, in order to maintain its own rules, the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce would rather offend the great monks of the Yanshen Sect. Just this point alone makes many people feel at ease.

Although one has to pay a high price of spirit stones to enter Xianbao City, they are still willing to pay this amount of spirit stones if they can get protection.

After a while, everyone dispersed.

Elder Xie looked at Zhang Jin and said, "You should stay in our Xianbao Chamber of Commerce from now on, and don't go out during this period of time."

Zhang Jin quickly thanked him: "Thank you, senior!"

Zhang Jin also felt relieved at this moment. He knew that he had survived this hurdle today.

When entering the auction venue, Zhang Jin already knew the danger of this matter.

After he used his smartphone to pass on the Star Body Refining Technique to Chen Feng, he destroyed the smartphone.

There were only some broken parts of a smartphone in the storage ring.

The most difficult part was having his soul searched. Now it seems that the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce has saved him.

According to his guess, the reason why Xianbao Chamber of Commerce protected him must be because of their own leader.

However, from today onwards, he will no longer be able to leave Xianbao City, and the people from Yanshen Sect will definitely keep an eye on him.

On the other side, Gu Ran and Liu Qingqing walked out of Xianbao City.

Gu Ran's face was extremely gloomy at the moment. It was obvious that what had just happened in front of the gate of Xianbao Chamber of Commerce made him very unhappy.

Liu Qingqing tried to dissuade him at this time:
"Brother, the Xianbao Chamber of Commerce is just like that. There's no need to get angry. Anyway, we have already got the technique back. We can just set up a new plan next time."

In Liu Qingqing's opinion, the mysterious monk should not have come today.

Gu Ran said in a serious tone: "Send someone to keep an eye on that Jindan cultivator."

Liu Qingqing nodded: "I have asked someone to keep an eye on it. By the way, Senior Brother, should we withdraw the formation outside the city?"

Gu Ran shook his head: "Don't retreat, interrogate everyone who has left the city during this period. If there are people with unknown identities, take them down immediately!"

Gu Ran always felt that this matter was not that simple. He felt that the mysterious monk was probably still in Xianbao City.

And that Zhang Jin is most likely the other party's person.

"Brother, if you do this, you might offend a lot of people." Liu Qingqing reminded. Gu Ran said in a deep voice: "There can't be any risks, even if you offend some people, it's okay."

Hearing Gu Ran say this, Liu Qingqing did not refute, but said: "Brother, then you go first, I have something to do."

Gu Ran turned to look at Liu Qingqing: "Is it because of Hua Xuanzi?"

"Well, I want to recruit this person."

Gu Ran shook his head: "No need to go, he has been targeted by the people of Da Zhou, we can't provoke Da Zhou for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing immediately showed a look of surprise: "Why did the people of Da Zhou target him?"

"I don't know, but he has been targeted. Let's go and meet up with Junior Brother Yin and the others." Gu Ran didn't explain much.

Liu Qingqing turned her head to look at Xianbao City, and then left with Gu Ran.

As the auction came to an end, the monks in Xianbao City also left one after another.

However, as soon as these cultivators left Xianbao City, they were immediately captured and tortured by the people from Yanshen Sect.

Regardless of which forces these cultivators came from, almost every one of them was interrogated by the people of Yanshen Sect.

Even some Nascent Soul cultivators are the same.

Although many people were unhappy, they could do nothing about it because the Yanshen Sect had already set up a sky-locking formation outside Xianbao City.

Moreover, there are several Nascent Soul cultivators in charge, and no force in the Southern Territory would choose to offend them.

Everyone in Xianbao City was discussing the reason why Yanshen Sect did this.

Many people speculated that the reason why Yanshen Sect did this was to deal with the people of Wangyue City.

After all, Yanshen Sect and Wangyue City are now at war.

Outside Xianbao City, Chen Feng brought Zuo Poxing and others to the city gate.

Chen Feng did not leave Xianbao City immediately, but wandered around Xianbao City for a while before leaving.

"Master, I heard that there is a sky-locking formation set up by the Yanshen Sect not far away. Any cultivator who leaves Xianbao City will be interrogated by them." Zuo Poxing said.

Zuo Poxing had already found out the situation clearly.

Elder Meng said nonchalantly:

"Yanshen Sect wants to deal with Wangyue City. This has nothing to do with us. Fortunately, the ancestor did not agree to Wangyue City's recruitment before."

Hearing this, He Menghan looked at Chen Feng again. She remembered Chen Feng's previous attitude towards Luo Qian, which made her feel very strange.

"Let's go." Chen Feng didn't ask any more questions, but took the three of them and flew towards the sky.

He has successfully obtained the Star Body Refining Art, and has not yet had a head-on conflict with the people of Yanshen Sect.

This trip to the inland sea was relatively smooth.

Now all he has to do is return to Xingfeng Sect to practice well, and then develop both worlds well.

He will not return to the Inland Sea in the short term.

At this time, Elder Meng suddenly said: "Ancestor, I just studied this wooden sword. This thing is indeed extraordinary. According to my guess, this thing should be an ancient treasure."

Chen Feng looked at the wooden sword handed over by Elder Meng and asked, "Did you find anything else?"

Elder Meng pondered for a while and then said, "The methods of using ancient magic weapons are different from those of our current magic weapons. Current magic weapons can be controlled by simply marking them with spiritual consciousness, but ancient magic weapons require other methods."

Hearing this, Chen Feng stopped immediately and asked, "What method?"

Chen Feng had not expected Elder Meng to figure out anything about the wooden sword, but he did not expect that the old man could actually figure something out, which surprised him.

"If you want to use an ancient magic weapon, you must drip soul blood into it to allow the magic weapon to communicate with the soul. Most of the cultivators in ancient times would fuse the magic weapon with the soul and let the soul nourish it, so their magic weapons generally need to drip soul blood to recognize the master. Ancestor, you can try it."

Elder Meng expressed his opinion.

Chen Feng immediately took the wooden sword, and then a drop of dark red blood condensed between his eyebrows.

Soul blood is something that every cultivator has. However, the soul blood of a cultivator is extremely precious and few people will use it. Only those who practice special skills will use this thing.

Moreover, condensing soul blood will still cause certain damage to the soul.

After Chen Feng condensed a drop of soul blood, he directly dripped it into the wooden sword.

Elder Meng next to him stared at the wooden sword, and He Menghan and Zuo Poxing also looked expectant.

But there was no reaction after the soul blood dripped onto the wooden sword.

Chen Feng injected spiritual power and tried again, but the wooden sword still did not change at all.

"How could this be?" Elder Meng looked confused.

Zuo Poxing beside him said with a smile: "Old Meng, how can you study the ancestor's things thoroughly?"

Elder Meng clasped his fists towards Chen Feng and said, "Grandfather, it is the junior who is useless!"

Elder Meng felt a little guilty. He asked his ancestor to condense his soul and blood and drip it into the wooden sword, but the sword didn't react at all. Didn't this really let their ancestor down?

But he knew that condensing soul blood would damage the soul.

Chen Feng put away the wooden sword and said, "It's okay. You just made a suggestion. It has nothing to do with you."

Although Chen Feng was a little disappointed, he felt that this was normal. If it were that simple, the wooden sword would not have been kept in that cave forever.

Chen Feng immediately prepared to continue flying away with the three of them.

But at this moment, a woman in a red dress and a mask appeared not far in front of them.

The woman was tall and her fiery red dress was particularly eye-catching.

There was an old man standing behind the woman, with his head lowered, standing behind the woman like a servant.

The woman in the red dress was standing in the air, looking down at Chen Feng and the others with cold eyes.

When Chen Feng saw the woman in the red dress and the old man, his pupils shrank slightly.

Because he didn't even notice when these two people approached them. (End of this chapter)
