    Ding Huan knew these, and further argumentation was meaningless.

    What made Qi Yushan's head spin was how Ding Huan could have known these things?

    "How do you know it is unnecessary for you to know, you even killed your companions for a mere demon pill, indicating that your morality is as low as possible."

    After Ding Huan finished speaking, he struck a punch.

    Qi Yushan had lost all will to fight. At this moment, using a gun to kill him would be defiling one's own martial arts prowess.

    "Bang!" Qi Yushan's head was shattered by Ding Huan's punch, and a burst of blood mist followed.

    He would never have thought that he, who was deemed less than an insignificant insect by himself, would be killed by an ordinary person.

    "Brother Ding, did you kill Qi Yushan?" Sang Yuhuo stared at the deceased Qi Yushan in a dazed manner, her voice still trembling.

    Ding Huan raised his hand, and Qi Yushan's storage bag fell into his hands.

    "This guy has tried to kill me several times. It's a wonder that I didn't kill him."

    Taking away Qi Yushan's storage bag, Ding Huan still harbored some disdain for the guy in his heart.

    Ding Huan sighed, "Days of killing and looting outside, and yet even a storage bracelet has eluded him. What a waste."

    "Brother Ding, thank you for saving my life."

    Sang Yuhuo was also feeling restless in her heart. She was both shocked at why Ding Huan's strength had become so powerful and worried that like Qi Yushan, Ding Huan would kill her to silence her.

    Ding Huan waved his hand and said:

    "Senior Sang, if it wasn't for you bringing me here, I would still be on Siangong Starland. It was you who saved me first."

    Sang Yuhuo hurriedly said, "Brother Ding, your strength far surpasses mine. Calling me senior is too much of an honor for me."

    "In this place where strength is supreme, it is indeed like that. Ding Huan doesn't care and changes his tone instead:

    "If that's the case, then I'll call you Yuhe sister. We're more or less familiar with each other now. You can also call me by my name. Where are you planning to go?"

    "I'm not sure?" Sang Yuhoe shook her head.

    "These years, she has been constantly on the run, and she has long lost her place of residence."

    Returning to the Merchants' Guild, she dare not.

    For these years, Qi Yushan in the Merchants' Guild didn't know how to deal with her.

    He would definitely say that she took the good things acquired from Siangong Starland and fled.

    Ding Huan pondered for a moment before saying:

    "I plan to establish a sect. If it's not inconvenient for you, Yuhe sister, you can join me."

    "You want to create a sect?" Sang Yuhoe was stunned by Ding Huan's words.

    Ding Huan is strong, but he's still only at the True Dan level, isn't he? A True Dan cultivator is supposed to establish a sect?

    "Haha, it's just that I want to find a place to settle down. That's exactly what I found. One has to try, who knows if it will work?"

    Ding Huan smiled awkwardly.

    He's only at the foundation-building stage, so starting a sect in others' eyes does indeed seem a bit ridiculous.

    Sang Yuhoe's consciousness was still on the words "who knows if it will work?" from Ding Huan. She thought about when Ding Huan came to the Three-Dimensional Starland from Siangong Starland, he was still just a ordinary person.

    How many years has it been? When she was still on the run, killing Qi Yushan was within his capability.

    If, at the time of first meeting Ding Huan, he had told her that she could kill Qi Yushan in about three years, she would have thought Ding Huan was crazy.

    Qi Yushan's corpse proved that it only took three years for Ding Huan, who was once an ordinary person, to kill him.

    Since Ding Huan could kill Qi Yushan as an ordinary person, why can't he establish a sect?

    "Sang Yuhoe, I don't have anywhere else to go either. Why don't I join you and go with you? Let's see," and Sang Yuhoe made her decision.

    She indeed has nowhere else to go.

    "Good, then let's leave now." Ding Huan put on a mask, and at the same time, he took out a mask and handed it to Sang Yuhoe.

    "Are we going to the place you mentioned right now?" Sang Yuhoe asked after taking the mask.

    Ding Huan shook his head:

    "Not yet. Let's first go to Yanrou City, where there is an auction. I plan to take a look."

    Sang Yuhoe seemed to understand:

    "Were you the one who saw Qi Yushan in Yanrou City and followed him all the way here?"

    "That's right. The guy had been chasing me before, so when I saw him, I couldn't just let him go. Didn't expect he would try to ambush you instead."

    Ding Huan didn't hide anything.

    Sang Yuhoe sighed and said, "People still need to learn how to resist."

    She had been on the run, and in Qi Yushan's mind, she was an easy target.

    So this time, when Qi Yushan found her cave, he didn't rush to attack her but instead went to Yanrou City to buy array disks.

    Qi Yushan's array was a mess, and she was trapped by the array just now. Clearly, Qi Yushan had purchased an array disk for killing and trapping.

    Ding Huan was about to burn Qi Yushan with a fireball when he suddenly noticed his belt. He suddenly remembered that Ding Qi had contributed a storage belt to Qi Yushan at the time.

    Thinking of this, he reached out and snatched Qi Yushan's belt.

    With his divine sense, he confirmed that it was indeed a storage device.

    Ding Huan sighed in relief. He was about to lose a storage artifact, but luckily, he managed to get it back. From now on, he would have to be more careful when cleaning up battlefields.

    Putting away the storage belt, Ding Huan began to set up the trap-and-kill array.

    Sang Yuhoe was somewhat puzzled:

    "Brother Ding, since Qi Yushan is dead, what's the point of setting up the trap-and-kill array?"

    Ding Huan chuckled.

    "People without long-term plans are bound to have short-term worries. I plan to attend an auction in Yanrou City. I'm concerned that if there are any good things in the auction, my cultivation is too low and I might attract attention from others."

    "Anyway, setting up a trap-and-kill array is simple for me, so it's not an issue if I don't use it."

    Sang Yuhoe felt a sense of admiration once again. No wonder she could only be chased and killed; it's because people like Ding Huan can take revenge on Qi Yushan in just three years. Their way of thinking about problems is completely different.

    She also found that she couldn't tell the level of the trap-and-kill array that Ding Huan had set at all.

    …

    Sang Yuhoe had been on the run and dared not show her face.

    Sang Yuhoe didn't know about the battle between Zixia Valley and the Jiuyin Gate that left both sides weakened and sealed their mountains. She was on her way to introduce Ding Huan to the auction in Yanrou City.

    She had been to Yanrou City before, and she had attended its largest auction as well. The auction she was talking about took place once every five years.

    The organizer is the Yanrou Trade Association, which is a trading organization dominated by the Yanrou Sect.

    "So this auction might have some good items?" Ding Huan started to feel excited.

    He then thought of the little book. His divine consciousness landed on the book and found that it not only had foundation-building pills for sale but also contained listings for Condensation Bamboo.

    What caught Ding Huan's attention the most was that there was a top-quality spiritual artifact long spear in the auction.

    He needs this thing, even though he has a lot of long spears on him, including a spiritual artifact long spear.

    However, none of these spears are to Ding Huan's liking; he feels something off about holding them.

    There is a good material on his body, but unfortunately, he himself cannot forge a long spear.

    He doesn't have the courage to ask others to refine it.

    Ding Huan suspects that this material is quite extraordinary. If its excellence were to leak out, he fears that with his current strength, he might not be able to protect it.

    "Good things definitely exist. I remember that the auction in Yanrou City has sold spiritual treasures before, and even an inferior divine artifact was sold."

    Sang Yuhoe continued to introduce, and Ding Huan's anticipation for the auction increased significantly.

    When they arrived in Yanrou City, it was just an hour before the auction began.

    Ding Huan simply purchased a private box ticket and didn't bother to look for Xilou to rest. He and Sang Yuhoe entered the auction together.

    Such a large auction will naturally attract a lot of people. In fact, the number of people who purchase private box tickets is relatively small.

    This is mainly because the big auction in Yanrou City is relatively speaking within this region, but if it were truly put into the true essence of the road city, such an auction wouldn't amount to much.

    As someone from the merchant's association, Sang Yuhoe naturally knows that private boxes are usually reserved for people with a lot of spiritual stones, or for those who don't treat spiritual stones as spiritual stones.

    Seeing Ding Huan spend ten times more than the usual price for a private box, she felt somewhat speechless.

    The auction indeed has some good items, but clearly, these items are not within reach of Ding Huan.

    If that's the case, spending so much spiritual stone to order a private box really doesn't make sense.

    She wasn't sure why Ding Huan had become so strong in such a short time, but she was certain that he hadn't been possessed.

    A person's way of doing things can be imitated, but their eyes cannot be.

    Ding Huan should have obtained a large amount of spiritual stones through some opportunity he met. This has given him a false impression that spiritual stones are easy to make money from, but in fact, it's not like that.

    Once she gets familiar with Ding Huan, she needs to have a talk with him about how difficult it is to earn spiritual stones in Daoxue world.

    Entering the private box, Sang Yuhoe found Ding Huan even more perplexing.

    Ding Huan's array cultivation level is certainly not bad, so why not upgrade the restriction against divine consciousness in this private box?

    Currently, the block against divine consciousness in their private box is basically nonexistent. Divine consciousness can easily penetrate through it.

    She believes that Ding Huan must know that the restriction can be upgraded, and now that Ding Huan is not doing so, she doesn't feel comfortable saying anything.

    Ding Huan and Sang Yuhoe chatted inside the private box for nearly an hour, during which time they gained a better understanding of some aspects of the cultivation world.

    As the auction began, a middle-aged beauty walked onto the auction stage.

    Her name is Pang Xiangxiang, a senior in Yanrou City and the manager of the Yanroo Trade Association, holding significant power within the association.

    Sang Yuhoe introduced Pang Xiangxiang to Ding Huan.

    "Her strength seems rather weak. How can she be a senior?" Ding Huan asked in confusion.

    Sang Yuhoe lowered her voice:

    "Pang Xiangxiang is said to be a pet of Yanrou Sect's Master Yiwan Dao, and Yiwan Dao treats her very well."

    "After helping Yiwan Dao, her foundation was secured, and she was granted authority over the Yanroo Trade Association."

    "Oh, I see." Ding Huan understood what was going on.

    Pang Xiangxiang definitely cultivated the Magnificent Phoenix Thundercloud Secret Technique, which is the method of the cauldron.

    In theory, those who have cultivated this method should die for sure after helping others with their cultivation.

    Pang Xiangxiang must have gained Yiwan Dao's favor, not only saving her life but also keeping her cultivation at the Foundation Establishment stage and obtaining a certain position in the association.

    Pang Xiangxiang is beautiful, and her voice is very pleasing to the ear.

    "Many of you may know me, I am Pang Xiangxiang, so I will not introduce anything else."

    The five-yearly grand auction in Yanrou City is about to begin, an event initiated by the Yanroo Trade Association. Top-tier treasures appear every time, and this year will be no exception.

    "I cannot predict the specific items that will be auctioned off in advance. Let's reveal them one by one..."

    As Pang Xiangxiang's voice fell, a jade box covered with a red ribbon appeared on the auction stage in front of her.

    Pang Xiangxiang raised her hand to pull back the red cloth, calling out with a joyful voice:

    "This is the first auctioned treasure, which did not disappoint me. This is a three-colored purple ling flower. It is a fifth-level spirit grass, one of the main spirit herbs for refining the False Pith Dan..."

    Ding Huan was slightly stunned upon hearing this. He had never thought of actually helping a True Cultivation Elder to seek the three-colored purple ling flower.

    It's funny, after he came out, his own things had no shadow, but he saw the three-colored purple ling flower first.

    To know how rare the three-colored purple ling flower is, it is definitely less common than the spiritual artifact that carries toxic mist.

    (That's all for today's update, everyone, good night! I'd appreciate some monthly ticket support!)
