ting enough wealth. That's why you could make a breakthrough all at once."And in that process, I just gave it a little push."It seems like after we met, you've been steadily progressing. You went from...Two people from Yinzhudao fled frantically, and no one on Beilingdao pursued them, not even paying attention to their escape. All eyes were focused on Ye Bufan.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were wide open, as if they wanted to see through the secrets of this young man.

They all wanted to know how it was done just now, how they could subdue the soul of a tenth-order monster with a wave of their hand.

These people stood there like wooden statues, though their expressions varied.

Su Qing was delighted, Su Ling霜 admired, while the Zhang brothers were shocked.

You Guang stood beside, his small eyes gleaming, full of greed.

Although he didn't know how Ye Bufan did it, one thing was clear: the opponent's cultivation level couldn't possibly withstand the power of the Swallowing Heaven Python's soul beast. He must have some unknown secret up his sleeve.

It could be an incredibly powerful treasure, or some other kind of special technique. Either way, it would be a huge temptation for cultivators.

After a moment, Zhang Yujing came to his senses first and stepped forward to ask, "Ye Yixian, I wonder how you just subdued that demon"

Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "A universe in one's sleeve, a secret technique of the sect."

What he said made no difference whether he said it or not, so-called secret techniques are meant to be kept confidential.

In fact, he didn't have any secret techniques. He had just hidden the spirit beast bottle in his sleeve.

This treasure is the nemesis of all dark energy and soul bodies. And for this very reason, even if the Devouring Python's beast soul were incredibly powerful, it would be unable to withstand the might of the Refining Demon Bottle.

At this moment, he was in high spirits, his heart brimming with excitement. It was a soul comparable to that of a late-stage tribulation cultivator, and now he had refined its soul into a pill. Just thinking about its potential power left him speechless.

He couldn't bring himself to pull out the refining bottle to take a look because there were too many people watching. He could only suppress his urge and wait for a better time.

Seeing that Ye Bufan refused to speak, the others looked disappointed.

But this is also normal, if anyone had such a secret, they probably wouldn't tell it.

That's why Zhang Yujing and the others didn't ask any further questions.

The matter has been settled. Zhang's brothers and Ye Bufan returned to the room together, while You Guang took Su Qing to find a water source nearby.

He felt extremely foul from head to toe after drinking so much urine and needed a thorough wash.

Back in the room, Zhang Yujing said: "Physician Ye, this old man has an important matter to discuss with you. I wonder if it would be possible to ask a few questions first"

"Sure."

Ye Bufan answered very straightforwardly, anyway, it's nothing big deal. Just don't answer questions you don't want to.

Zhang Yujing asked, "Physician Immortal, are there any centenarians this year"

Although, in his eyes, this was just a young man of about twenty.

But the other party's performance was too outrageous, which made him have some doubts, so he verified it.

"I am twenty-one years old this year."

Ye Bufan didn't intend to hide his age either.

"Only twenty-one years old, he's really accomplished!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yujing and Zhang Yuquan were still shocked. Although they had guessed before that Ye Bufan's age would not be too big, they didn't expect him to be so young.

After the shock, Zhang Yujing asked again: "Was the formation outside the Su family's residence set up by Ye Yixian I wonder what level of array master you are"

Zhang Yu guan closely followed up and asked, "Have you reached the sixth level"

I have a little knowledge of sixth-order formations.

Ye Bufan's words were vague. He didn't want to reveal all his cards in this unfamiliar place.

Secondly, his mastery of formations comes entirely from the ancient medical sect's inheritance. He himself is rather vague about it and lacks a clear concept.

Although he knew his cultivation was high, he didn't know what level it corresponded to in the Kunlun Immortal Realm's standards.

"Good! Good! To be a sixth-order array mage!"

The two people nodded frequently, expressing their approval wholeheartedly.

Firstly, array mages are quite rare in this Demon Abyss Sea. Secondly, someone in their twenties who is both skilled in cultivation and proficient in medicine, and also an array mage, would be an incredibly extraordinary person anywhere they went.

Then Zhang Yujing asked again: "Ye Yi Xian, what is your true level of cultivation"

"I am at the peak of the Void Profound!"

Ye Bufan wasn't lying, but he wouldn't tell the two of them about the heaven-defying ability that allowed him to kill opponents of a higher level.

Becoming a little impatient, he said, “If you two have something to say, just get on with it.”

"This matter is a bit complicated, let me explain it to you slowly."

Zhang Yujing said, "Ye Yixian has become the son-in-law of Beiling Island. He should know about our three major forces here"

Ye Bufan didn't speak, he just nodded.

Zhang Yujing sighed and continued, "The demonic beasts in Yao Ming Hai are rampant. It's extremely difficult to survive here."

We, the Tonghai Alliance alone, cannot withstand a large-scale invasion of demonic beasts. Therefore, we have formed a larger alliance with the Yinzhushan Lancang Hall and three other families.

Our three families are usually quite united, but that's only when we face monster attacks. Outside of those times, there's no shortage of conflict between us.

The Yao Ming Sea has little land and many demonic beasts. True top-tier cultivation resources are scarce, while cultivators need them to improve their cultivation. Naturally, this makes them the key to contention.

The place with the most cultivation resources on our side is called Jiǔqǔ Pánlóng Dào, although it's not very big, it has endless spiritual herbs.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. He had never heard Su Lingxiang mention this before, so he asked: "Isn't this a good thing"

Zhang Yujing said: "Having abundant cultivation resources is certainly a good thing, but the problem is that this Panlong Island's location is too special. It's right in the middle of our three families' territories, and it's impossible to determine who it belongs to."

And this island is protected by a powerful formation that only opens once every thirty years. Furthermore, only cultivators below the Tribulation Transcendence stage can enter, with a limit of one hundred people.

This means that the number of people who can enter Jiuzhupanglong Island becomes crucial. The more people who go in, the more spiritual herbs they can collect. Conversely, if fewer people go in, the number of spiritual herbs collected will naturally be less.

Ye Bufan said, "This is easy to solve. Just have the same number of people from each faction go in. What's there to worry about"

Zhang Yujing shook his head: "A hundred spots, the three of us will always have one left over when we split them."

Ye Bufan said, "This is easy to handle. It opens once every thirty years anyway. We can just take turns using the quota."

"It would be that simple, cultivators are always insatiable in their pursuit of cultivation resources."

Zhang Yujing said, "Originally, among the three of us, Yinzhudao was the strongest. Before, I and Lancangdian decided to give this quota directly to them."

Ke Yin Wei Yong was an ambitious man. He didn't just want this single spot; he directly proposed a three-way wager using Jiǔ Qū Pán Lóng Dǎo as the stake. Whoever won would receive more spots in the next round...

After Ye Bufan heard him explain the rules of this gambling game, he basically understood. It wasn't much different from the previous Ten-Tier Tower of Ascension. The rules of the contest were also quite similar.

He also realized the Zhang brothers' intentions and asked, "Are you two asking me to represent the Tonghai Alliance in entering the Nine Curves Dragon Island"e."As the eldest son of the Lorin family, he naturally didn't want to clean here. Now that he had finally found someone to do it, he wouldn't let them off easily, even though they were doing him a fav...
