hey never expected his cultivation to be so formidable.Xiahou Ting had previously known that Ye Bufan was powerful, but he hadn't expected him to be this powerful, beating even a peak-stage fusion cul...Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. This woman was still too naive. She didn't understand any negotiation skills and directly revealed all her cards.

However, this seemed to win him over. All the annoyance from being ambushed earlier disappeared.

Then his divine sense swept across the pile of things on the table, and he couldn't help but marvel at the wealth of the Jiuxing Sect once again.

Although Mu Xiaoyun didn't bring out any spirit stones, these things weren't inferior. There were various talismans, pills, refining materials, and some finished magic artifacts.

The pills were ignored, as they weren't of the same high quality he crafted.

Though those artifacts were decent, they still failed to catch his eye.

Slowly, Ye Bufan's eyes suddenly fell on a milky-white stone, and his heart beat wildly uncontrollably afterward.

This stone is about the size of a basketball and has a strange look, as if it could absorb all the light around it.

"This is the Voidstone!"

Ye Bufan immediately recognized this stone. It was Kongming Stone, the top material for refining flying artifacts, even higher grade than the Void Sand before.

Such a large piece of Voidstone is definitely a priceless treasure, and for those in need, it is no less valuable than the Five-Colored Mystic Stone.

If used to refine Nine Heavens once more, it could at least achieve the level of a mid-grade flying spirit artifact.

As an inferior flying artifact, Nine Heavens now, under his control, can reach speeds comparable to a Void Core stage expert. It's suitable for travel, but not enough for escaping danger.

If it can be upgraded to the level of a mid-grade flying spirit artifact, it will be completely different. Its speed will definitely be faster than that of a Mahayana cultivator, and it will be a good life-saving treasure at critical moments.

Mu Xiaoyun watched from the side, her big, watery eyes full of eagerness.

"Doctor Ye, is there anything here that you find satisfactory If not, I'll give you everything."

This little girl is really too naive. She seems to have no idea about the value of this Void Stone.

"Alright, I'll take it."

Ye Bufan reached out his hand and grabbed the Kongming Stone into his palm.

“Sure thing, you can have anything!”

Mu Xiaoyun nodded eagerly.

"This is an empty spirit stone, a rare treasure."

Facing this innocent little girl, Ye Bufan still told the truth.

"It's alright, it's alright, as long as you can save my master."

Mu Xiaoyun didn't care about this piece of Kongming stone at all.

"Alright then, I'll go with you."

Ye Bufan put away the Kongming Stone, "Also remember your promise, as long as I cure your master, Jiubanzhen Palace will help me find the Wucai Xuan Stone."

"Sure, sure, as long as you can heal my master, we'll agree to any condition!"

The little girl nodded excitedly, even forgetting her previous anger.

It's clear that she holds her master in very high regard, and this affection is genuine.

"Ye Yixian, when are we leaving"

"Take a break here for a while, and we'll set off when I'm ready."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he left Mu Xiaoyun here and turned to enter the other room next door.

This time, he didn't want to bring anyone with him to Jiufan Xian Gong. After all, the Gu Yi Men medical hall still needed to receive messages here. If they missed the Five-Colored Mysterious Stone, it wouldn't be good.

...and having already made too many enemies, now provoking the Wuliang Hall, it's beneficial to have a few more people left behind at this time.

Especially Xiaoqing; leaving her here is the only way I can feel safe going away.

But venturing to the Jiuxing Sect alone still left him feeling uneasy. So, he needed to hurry and upgrade his Nine Heavens Talisman, thus gaining another powerful safeguard.

He made a seal within the room and then directly entered the Dragon King's Hall, starting to reforge the Nine Heavens.

About three hours later, Jiutian reappeared in the sky.

Unlike before, it now had a layer of milky aura, reaching the level of a mid-grade spirit artifact.

Ye Bufan leaped upwards, and then a white aura streaked across the sky like nine heavens, instantly disappearing into mid-air.

"This speed is so fast!"

Ye Bufan put away the Nine Heavens and returned to the room, his face still unable to contain his joy.

With this thing, even if facing a powerful Mahayana cultivator, one would still have a chance to escape.

It is already dawn in the east, a new day has arrived.

Ye Bufan briefly said goodbye to everyone, telling them he would be back soon. Then, he left Tianxing Imperial City with Mu Xiaoyun.

Jiǔfàn Xiāngōng, although theoretically within the territory of the Tiānxīng Empire, is incredibly distant, spanning tens of thousands of miles.

Ye Bufan did not use the newly refined Jiutian. Although this little girl in front of him didn't have much scheming, the fewer people who knew his secrets, the better.

Fortunately, both of them had cultivation strong enough that they flew non-stop for three days and three nights before finally arriving at the gates of the Jiǔfàn Xian Palace.

Unlike other sects I've encountered before, the Jiubao Xian Gong was built atop a towering mountain.

Looking up from below, it resembles a city in the sky, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Follow the mountain road up, all along the way there are celestial birds and beasts, clouds and mist swirling, with abundant spiritual energy, it's just like walking into a fairyland.

Two people flew straight to the gate of Jiufan Xian Palace and then landed.

The four female disciples in white robes who were guarding the gate greeted Mu Xiaoyun upon seeing her.

This is the doctor I invited for my master.

Mu Xiaoyun greeted everyone. As the headmaster's direct disciple, others naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her and immediately let her pass.

Ye Bufan asked, "Are all the disciples in your sect women"

Mú Xiǎoyùn nodded and said, "That's right, our Jiǔfànxiāngong doesn't accept male disciples, and men are not allowed inside normally."

"Why Is it that your cultivation techniques aren't suitable for men"

Ye Bufan thought to himself, no wonder this girl looks a little childish. How could she mature without contacting men

"I don't know the martial arts."

Mu Xiaoyun shook her head. "But Master said that cultivation requires undivided attention, and one cannot be disturbed by worldly affairs. Only by focusing intently can one reach the pinnacle of the Dao."

"So, you of the Jiǔ Fàn Xiān Gōng forbid marriage"

As a male-dominated human from Earth, Ye Bufan felt a sense of pity seeing so many beautiful women who couldn't be married.

"There's no such rule in the code of conduct, but everyone is focused on cultivation and no one really thinks about romantic matters."

Mu Xiaoyun glanced at him and said, "Ye Yixian, actually I also want to advise you, you have too many women, this will affect your path, it's better to focus on cultivating."

"Look at our Jiufan Xiangong. The reason we became a Nine Star Sect is because everyone here is focused and dedicated. Our cultivation progresses much faster than those in worldly sects."

"Uh..."

Ye Bufan was just calculating how to marry these women off, but the other party unexpectedly wanted to persuade him to become a monk.

"This... everyone has different pursuits, just be happy with what you choose."

"Well then, it's a shame about your martial arts talent."

Mu Xiaoyun's delicate face was full of pity, as if she felt sorry for Ye Bufan.

Two people were about to walk toward the mountain gate when two more figures rushed in from behind.

"Wait for me!"

Ye Bufan turned his head and saw a woman in a red dress standing outside the mountain gate.

Behind him followed a man, who was none other than the Heavenly Jewel Medical Sage Ge Yangming he had seen before.ng, why haven't those people followed us in yet"Behind him stood a thin young man, seemingly slight in build, yet his eyes shone with an intense light.Kǒng xuān, another genius disciple of Tiāndào zōn...
