Central Continent, Fox Immortal Blessed Land.
Yuan Fang sat leisurely in the stone nest, watching with interest as the old Hairy People refined great light gu within.
Once this batch of Gu was refined, the Gu Yue Clan would earn twenty immortal essence stones.
In another stone nest, hundreds of young Hairy People were refining Rank Three Air Sac Gu at full capacity.
When this batch of Gu was completed, it could be used to pack five hundred courage gu and transported to Treasure Yellow Heaven for sale, bringing in another five immortal essence stones.
Just then, a Gu Yue Clan Member stumbled in, his face filled with panic:
"My Lord! This is bad! In stone nest number three, over three hundred Hairy People have suddenly died!"
Yuan Fang's expression changed drastically, but the Gu Yue Clan Member grinned and changed his tune:
"But there's great news! Zhang San from Treasure Yellow Heaven is selling Hairy People slaves again, five hundred for one immortal essence stone, and he even lowered the price this time!"
Hearing this, Yuan Fang immediately turned his tears into laughter.
The Gu Yue Clan was currently in need of money.
Just yesterday, Qin Bai Sheng sent an invitation to hold an auction in the Northern Plains, where both the Righteous Path and Demonic Path could participate and exchange what they had.
In the original work, it was at this auction that Fang Yuan obtained the Pulling Mountain, Turning Back the Tide, Eat Strength, and Unravel Mystery immortal gu, as well as the Iron Crown Eagle Strength immortal gu.
But now, Yuan Fang had the Immortal Path Killer Move "Everyone is Equal" in hand, which was enough to replace the Eat Strength immortal gu, and in this life, he might even encounter more good immortal gu.
Not long ago, Great White Cloud Life had traveled to the Eastern Sea twice to help several Gu Immortals repair their immortal aperture blessed lands, not only earning immortal essence stones but also accumulating a lot of connections.
Yuan Fang also used his identity as an Immortal Zombie to join the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance.
There was also movement on Lin Hong's side. She had newly enslaved a Desolate Beast, a Tortoise Back Wolf, in the outside world, and had teamed up with several other Gu Immortals to discover a new blessed land.
Unfortunately, that blessed land had a deep foundation, and the group of Gu Immortals returned in defeat after a joint assault.
However, they didn't come away empty-handed. Lin Hong managed to snatch some Mortal Gu, Mortal Materials, and immortal materials from the blessed land, all of which she stored in her own blessed land.
Yuan Fang and the others also learned the location of the blessed land because of this, planning to conquer it after the auction ended.
Xiao Mang and Gu Yue Qingzhuo were currently in seclusion, comprehending new Immortal Path Killer Moves. Gu Yue Qingzhuo had also borrowed the Clan Leader's rank six shape shifting gu to prepare for constructing a Killer Move.
Meanwhile, the Clan Leader, Red Snake, and Desolate Dust were cultivating Family heirs and handing over clan affairs.
Feng Tianyu still presided over his stone nest. His Gu Refining techniques were exquisite, and his Refinement Path attainment was superb. Since Hairy People determined status based on Gu Refining ability, they worshipped him immensely.
Feng Tianyu also enjoyed it, taking ten old Hairy People with high Gu Refining skills as his disciples.
As for Fang Zheng, Yuan Fang gave him eighteen immortal essence stones and sent him to the Tang Clan of the Western Desert to investigate news about the Thieving Heaven Dream Realm.
Now that there was some news, Yuan Fang didn't dare to act rashly. The Thieving Heaven Dream Realm was bound to be filled with Heaven's Will. Since he had neither a Dream Unraveling Killer Move nor a way to eliminate Heaven's Will, he could only set it aside for now.
With Yuan Fang's memories, he could have easily passed through the Thieving Heaven Dream Realm and directly become a Thievery Path quasi-supreme Great Grandmaster.
But his soul foundation was too shallow; if he went in now, he might never return.
He had already made up his mind to borrow the Shadow Sect's Luo Po Valley to Cultivate his soul after the auction ended.
For this, he needed one hundred thousand courage gu and prepared to go into seclusion in Luo Po Valley for a month to raise his soul to the hundred thousand man soul Realm in one go.
A great battle had just broken out in Yuan Fang's blessed land, and he used the opportunity to collect many souls, all of which were stored in Soul Searching Mountain. It was estimated that they could produce twenty thousand courage gu.
The only thing that pained him was that using Luo Po Valley for a month would cost ten thousand courage gu paid to the Shadow Sect. Although this was a "friendship price," it was still an astronomical price for him now.
If he sold all the courage gu to Treasure Yellow Heaven, Yuan Fang would instantly have a net worth of four thousand immortal essence stones.
But he had been hoarding most of the courage gu for the purpose of exploring dream Realms.
To gather what was needed, Yuan Fang began slaughtering Mortals and Gu Masters again.
He chose to act in the Western Desert and soon killed hundreds of thousands of people, stuffing all their souls into the human sovereign banner, a prototype immortal gu house.
It would only take another three to five days of nurturing to harvest tens of thousands more courage gu.
As for those "Blood Path Mortal Materials" scattered everywhere, he didn't waste them. These Mortal Materials were vast in number, and stacking them up was enough to replace immortal materials.
Soon, Qin Bai Sheng's auction officially began.
Almost all Gu Immortals from the Northern Plains gathered here, including many Rank Eight powerhouses, such as Northern Plains' Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Medicine Emperor, Prince Feng Xian, and the Five Elements Grandmaster.
Yuan Fang brought twelve Gu Immortals of the Gu Yue Clan and quietly entered the venue, choosing a private box.
He didn't want to expose his identity too early, though there were many Gu Immortals like Wolf Wolf who dared to show their faces in public.
Yuan Fang's box was number twenty, which contained an Information Path Mortal Gu called "East Window Gu," and the room's scenery could be changed at will.
Through this Gu, the Gu Immortals could see the auction items and also place their own items on the auction stage.
Yuan Fang pondered for a moment and put up the immortal gu, wander far gu, and the slave immortal gu that he no longer needed. He had wanted to repair the near water pavilion gu, but he lacked the strength to do so.
Although the immortal gu was strong, he had the malice immortal gu to replace it; although the wander far gu was good, it was ultimately just a single immortal gu and easily replaceable; as for the slave immortal gu, it had long been replaced by the "Only I Am Supreme" Killer Move.
In addition, he also put up Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's all living beings luck true inheritance as an auction item.
He already knew the Gu recipes and cultivation insights recorded within by heart, and contents like the Rank One to Rank Five Luck Inspection Gu recipes were also useless to him now.
Others also brought out their auction items.
Xiao Mang's Rank Seven ancient glory light, and the dozen or so Gu Immortal slaves brought by Yuan Fang—these were captives from the Lang Ya Earth Spirit, some even being Rank Seven Gu Immortals. He brought them to the auction on the condition of exchanging them for rare immortal materials.
Yuan Fang had the "Only I Am Supreme" Killer Move in hand, which was enough to enslave Rank Six Gu Immortals. He had already decided that if these slaves weren't sold, he would take them all for his own use.
The auction's progress was roughly the same as in the original work.
Fang Yuan and Yuan Fang successfully bid for the Unravel Mystery, Turning Back the Tide, and Pulling Mountain immortal gu; the immortal gu and wander far gu were bought by Feng Jiu Ge, who was next door to Prince Feng Xian; Xiao Mang's Rank Seven ancient glory light was also exchanged for the immortal materials needed by the Lang Ya Earth Spirit.
However, none of this escaped Feng Jiu Ge's eyes: "Fang Yuan!"
"What? Is it that kid from Fox Immortal Blessed Land?" a Central Continent Gu Immortal nearby hurriedly asked.
Feng Jiu Ge nodded: "The method of storing ancient glory light is exactly the method the Spring Path Sect gave to Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan is in box number thirty-eight."
At this moment, Xiao Mang in box number thirty-eight was overjoyed by the recent auction.
Just then, an auction item caught Yuan Fang's attention.
"rank six sword edge immortal gu, a Sword Path immortal gu, it can amplify Sword Seed Gu and Sword Path Killer Moves. Feeds on ten thousand sword leaf bamboos once every six months. I need to exchange it for a Servitude Path rank six immortal gu."
The owner of this item was a Rank Seven Enslavement Path Gu Immortal. Sword Path and Servitude Path were mutually exclusive, so this sword edge immortal gu was useless to him.
Yuan Fang was about to exchange it with his slave immortal gu when another Gu Immortal suddenly spoke:
"I have a rank six Chicken Crow immortal gu, which can amplify the combat power of Desolate Beast chickens."
Obviously, this Enslavement Path Gu Immortal's beast group was not of the chicken type, and he refused on the spot.
Yuan Fang immediately placed a bid. That Enslavement Path Gu Immortal was clearly more interested in the slave immortal gu—he happened to have the Gu recipe for a Rank Seven slave immortal gu.
If he could get this rank six slave immortal gu, he could try to refine a Rank Seven slave gu.
Just then, someone else bid:
"I have a rank six Protect Master immortal gu, which allows a Desolate Beast to briefly merge into the body to block a fatal blow."
This immortal gu made the Enslavement Path Gu Immortal's heart skip a beat. Enslavement Path Gu Immortals have weak Physical Bodies and are most countered by Beheading Tactics. With this Gu, his weakness would be greatly mitigated.
The only flaw was that it could only use Desolate Beasts; with a Desolate Beast's Physical Body, it still wouldn't be enough against a Rank Seven attack.
While the Enslavement Path Gu Immortal was hesitating, Yuan Fang raised the price again: "A slave immortal gu, plus one hundred thousand Stone Man slaves! If that's not enough, I can add more!"
The Enslavement Path Gu Immortal was overjoyed. There were so many things one hundred thousand Stone Man slaves could do.
Seeing this, the other two bidders could only grit their teeth and give up—clearly, Yuan Fang had even more Stone Man slaves in his possession.
Ultimately, Yuan Fang successfully bid for the sword edge immortal gu. As for sword leaf bamboo, a rare Mortal Material, he had seen plenty in the Lang Ya Blessed Land, in numbers too great to count.
Not only that, he also borrowed Qin Bai Sheng's Eat Well immortal gu, which could save a lot of immortal gu food.
This Gu was so useful that Yuan Fang even considered cultivating Food Path, and it finally made him understand why Fang Yuan was so ecstatic when he refined the Snack immortal gu in the original work.
The two bidders were gnashing their teeth in anger and shouted threats:
"Don't you leave after the auction is over! I'll kill you, you son of a bitch!"
Yuan Fang just smiled faintly.
Through the words and behavior of the two, he had already seen through their backgrounds. Using a Wisdom Path Killer Move to calculate slightly, he had their strength figured out completely:
"The enemy does not know me, but I know the enemy—this is the first victory; the enemy is in the light while I am in the dark—this is the second victory; the enemy is few while we are many—this is the third victory."
With these three victories, he was even looking forward to seeing what they would look like when they came to find trouble with him.
However, the next auction item was what truly set the stage on fire, instantly attracting the attention of all Rank Eight Gu Immortals.
It was exactly what Yuan Fang had brought out—Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's all living beings luck true inheritance!
