    Chapter Index

    On the flying boat, Ran Zai used the messenger talisman to send a message to Elder Wu, who was responsible for the sect’s management tasks, and explained the gray fog situation in the Gushan Forest. Elder Wu quickly replied that he would arrange for the elders in the transformation stage to check, so that she did not have to worry.

    The speed of the flying boat was very fast, and in just one day, they arrived at their destination, Licheng.

    Li City is famous for its transactions. In order to avoid fights during transactions or looting after transactions, a monitoring formation is always activated over the entire Li City. Once there are excessively strong spells or combat fluctuations, they will be automatically identified, and a patrol team will immediately conduct inspections to maintain the safety of all traders.

    Therefore, Li City is very prosperous, full of people, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

    After getting off the flying boat, in order to avoid causing trouble, Ran Zaizai put on a barrier that blocked his consciousness from head to toe.However, when the dozen or so charming female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect appeared, they still attracted many furtive glances. Ran Zai released the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage to surround the surroundings, and those gazes were slightly restrained.

    She and her group each handed over a low-grade spiritual stone before entering the city gate.After entering Licheng, there are small stalls next to each other on the street. Most of these stalls are supported by wooden boards, and the sellers sit behind the stalls.

    What these stalls exchange or sell are some ordinary elixirs or magic weapons, some of which are spiritual herbs collected by individuals and materials for hunting monsters. They are relatively miscellaneous, but the prices are very cheap.

    A few of them walked around, but felt there was nothing interesting, so they continued walking inside.There are independent shops in the main street. You can know the categories sold clearly based on the store names. Those selling robes and jewelry, elixirs, talismans, and various magic tools and formations. They are relatively single, but the products are better and the prices are more expensive.

    There was plenty of time and it was relatively safe here. Ran Zaizai asked everyone to divide into groups of two or three to exchange and purchase the items they needed, and then go to the trading hall to gather after they were done.

    Because Chonglin had given her a lot of resources before, these people had no shortage of basic things, so she continued to go in.

    There is a trading house and an auction house in the innermost part. There is a trading house on the left. When you enter, there is a free trading area. You can browse the information about projection stones in the trading hall. If you find what you want, contact the service attendant in the trading hall to trade.

    Ran looked around again and found nothing of interest, so he left the trading house directly and entered the auction house on the right.

    This time she came to Li City mainly to see if there was anything Chong Lin needed to go to the Divine Vault Secret Realm, or any method or treasure that could increase the power of chaos in her body.

    As soon as he entered the auction house, a pretty female attendant came to greet him: “Sir, the auction is about to begin. Do you want a private room or in the hall? One hundred spiritual stones in the private room and ten spiritual stones in the hall!”

    Although Ran Zaizai wore a veil that blocked her spiritual consciousness, she preferred a private environment, so she threw out a pack of spirit stones and said calmly, “Please arrange a private room for me!”

    The female attendant took the spirit stone respectfully and nodded: “Okay, sir, please invite me to the second floor!”

    Ran Zai followed the female waiter straight to the second floor, and arrived at the independent box in the middle. The number five was written on the door!After entering the box, she was slightly satisfied. There was a formation to isolate spiritual consciousness in the box, and the decoration inside was also very elegant. After she sat down, she found that there was a sound transmission charm that could change the voice next to the seat, and there were spiritual wine and spiritual fruits on the table.

    After waiting for a while, the auction started.After the auctioneer’s brief but sensational opening remarks, a group of graceful female attendants came onto the stage holding treasures covered with red cloth that concealed their consciousness.

    Then the auctioneer walked in to the first female attendant, unveiled the red cloth, and began to introduce the treasures. After each item was introduced, the bidding began.

    As each treasure was unveiled, the voices of exclamations and bidding continued, and the atmosphere of the auction gradually became heated.

    Ran Zaizai sat quietly in the box and kept watching. It was not until the auctioneer reported the Chaos Spirit Fruit produced by the Chaos Tree that she smiled with joy.

    The Chaos Tree grows in the chaotic space left over from ancient times. It blooms in ten years and bears fruit in a hundred years. One tree can bear about a dozen Chaos Spirit Fruits. Because the chaos energy in the Chaos Spirit Fruit is pure and mild, all monks can eat it directly to increase the Chaos Spiritual Power in the body, so it is welcomed by monks at all levels.

    Sure enough, upon hearing about the Chaos Spirit Fruit, many people in the box became interested, because many people among the top sect’s geniuses knew the benefits of Chaos Spiritual Power.

    The auctioneer’s introduction voice also became louder and louder, because he was confident that this lot could attract distinguished guests on the second floor.

    Sure enough, he had just finished the introduction and announced: “Chaos Spirit Fruit, the bidding starts at one million spirit stones, and the quotation starts!”

    In the last private room on the second floor, a male voice began to quote: “One million and two hundred thousand!”

    And as the first quotation started, the quotations continued to sound one after another.

    In the hall, a male voice wearing a gray robe and a hat said: “One and a half million!”

    A deep male voice in the first box: “One million and eight hundred thousand!”

    A middle-aged female cultivator with a shield in the hall said: “Two million and two million!”

    Ran made another silent estimate and said directly: “Three million!”

    When other people saw that she had paid such a high price, the auction room was quiet for a moment. After that, the first box said again: “Three million and two hundred thousand!”

    The last box continued to quote, “Three and a half million!”

    As soon as she finished speaking, the female nun in the hall said, “Four million!” You could tell from her serious and powerful tone that this was her last desperate offer!

    The deep male voice in the first box hesitated and quoted the price again: “Four million and three hundred thousand!”

    Ran raised her lips and smiled again. The price was indeed high for the Chaos Spirit Fruit, but she was not short of spirit stones, so she bid again calmly, “Five million!”

    There was an uproar in the entire auction hall. Although Chaos Fruits are rare, they are not unique. Basically, they range from 350 to 4 million, and rarely exceed 4 million.

    Sure enough, no one in his box was bidding.

    The auctioneer excitedly repeated, “Five million once! Five million twice! Five million three times!! Okay, the Chaos Spirit Fruit will go to Box No. 5!”

    After a while, a female attendant brought the Chaos Spirit Fruit to the box. After Ran Zai received the Chaos Spirit Fruit, he directly paid for the Spirit Stone.She looked at it for a while and found that there was nothing she needed, so she left the box without waiting for the auction to end.

    After going down to the second floor and exiting the auction house, she entered the trading hall on the left.She found a private room in the trading hall, sent a message to contact Xu Changhuan of the sect, and then sipped tea leisurely.

    A muffled male voice sounded not far from the door of her box, with a complicated sadness: “I don’t know what those gray fogs are. I always feel that it affected Adai’s sanity, otherwise she would never have hurt me!”

    He’s companion sounded helpless: “Why are you still blaming that inexplicable gray mist? It’s obviously Adai’s willfulness!”

    Hearing the two talking about Gray Fog, Ran Zaizai’s eyebrows moved slightly. She put down the tea and continued to listen. The more she listened, the more surprised she became.

    The muffled male voice trembled slightly: “No, Adai is willful but kind. Even if she is angry, she will not really hurt me like she is now. Don’t forget, the animals nearby have also been rioting. Since it affects animals, how can it not affect people? Moreover, the gray fog is very strange and cannot be eliminated no matter what.”

    The companion didn’t believe it, “Adai is a cultivated person, and the animal riots may also be man-made!”

    The muffled male voice hesitated and said: “But, that gray mist makes me instinctively feel evil. You know me, my senses are very accurate…”

    Hearing this, Ran Zaizai couldn’t help but stand up slightly, walked out of the private room, and looked at the two male cultivators, two Qi Condensation stage cultivators not far from the door.

    She walked into the two of them, scanned it, and threw a small bag of spiritual stones and a bottle of basic healing pills at a simple and honest male monk with reddish eyes and a wound on his arm. “Excuse me, can you tell me more about the gray fog? Where did it appear?”

    After catching the spirit stone and elixir, feeling her cultivation, the honest male cultivator was extremely respectful and hurriedly replied: “Yes, sir, that’s it. We were in Jingyan Town, Beidan City, more than a year ago…”

    After listening to He’s narration, Ran Zaizai’s thoughts went through her mind several times. She felt that the gray fog was a bit serious. This evil spirit not only affected monsters and beasts, but over time, it also affected people.She had also tried to use the Purification Technique to purify the monster before, but it had no effect.

    Looking at the bustling task hall, she turned around and approached the attendant on the trading floor, “Is there a shop in the trading hall that specializes in collecting information for others?”

    The attendant immediately replied: “Yes, sir, please come here!” He led her for more than a hundred meters, turned a corner, and arrived at a shop-like room. The attendant introduced: “Sir, this place was established by an old family. It is responsible for helping people collect information. It has a very good reputation.”

    Seeing Ran Zai nodding again, the attendant walked in and found the shopkeeper, “This gentleman wants to collect some information, please accept it!”

    The shopkeeper immediately came up to him: “Okay, sir, what news do you want to know? Let’s talk inside!” He pointed to the box on the inside.

    “Hmm~” Ran extended his hand again, took out a spiritual stone and rewarded it to the attendant, and then followed the shopkeeper to the box.

    The simple private room is also equipped with a formation to isolate the spiritual consciousness, which should ensure the privacy of the guests.

    After coming in, the shopkeeper respectfully invited Ran Zai to sit down again, and then asked, “Sir, what information do you want to collect?”

    Ran took out another map, marked two locations with spiritual consciousness, then handed it over and said, “The evil gray fog has appeared in the core area of Gushan Forest and Jingyan Town in Beifan City. I want to know if there are other places on the mainland as well?”

    Then, he added, “Also, if there is a way to eliminate it, please contact me!”

    The shopkeeper took the map and took a look at it, hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, “Sir, the scope of your information that we need to investigate is very large, so this… you need to pay a deposit of 100,000 spirit stones first. If there is a way to eliminate it later, we will discuss the price with you based on the difficulty!”

    “Okay!” Ran Zaizai took out a box of spiritual stones and placed it on the table.

    Seeing that Ran was so generous again, the shopkeeper happily opened the box and took a look, then took out a jade slip and handed it over, “Your Excellency, this is so refreshing. This jade slip is also a voucher. We will go to investigate right away and will reply to you as soon as we have any news and elimination methods!”

    Ran nodded again, “Yes!” She put away the jade slip voucher and left the box directly.
