Longevity Hacker: When Every Curse Becomes a Blessing

Chapter 30 – Pure Heaven Water is in hand! An undercover Liu Keqing is by my side!

"Young man, you're still young, with great potential to form a Golden Core in the future. Why compete with us old folks who are nearing the grave? Are you hoping we die sooner?"

The speaker was an elder, his gaze unfriendly.

He wore a green robe with a dragon embroidered on the sleeve, clearly a cultivator from the Myriad Beast Valley.

"You can join in too."

Ye Bufan replied indifferently, his eyes cold.

"You!"

The elder in the green robe was furious at Ye Bufan's attitude.

Suppressing his anger, he said coldly, "Twenty-one thousand spirit stones!"

"Twenty-five thousand."

Without waiting for others to speak, Ye Bufan stated directly.

The elder's eye twitched, and some people around furrowed their brows, reassessing this young man in yellow.

Not just them.

In the VIP room, Chu Zixue and the Little Sword Immortal were also surprised.

Twenty-five thousand was already a huge sum. Apart from the five great immortal sects and the three major demon sects, few small families or independent cultivators could afford such an amount.

"Twenty-eight thousand! If you bid higher, young friend, I will concede the Pure Heaven Water to you."

The elder's eyes flickered as he sneered.

At this moment, no one else had the heart to bid higher. They all had families and businesses and couldn't risk everything for the highly risky "Pure Heaven Water."

As for the prodigies from major forces, it was even less necessary.

Their chances of breaking through to Golden Core were high. If it were a treasure without side effects, they would spend even a hundred thousand spirit stones to obtain it.

But with side effects, using the "Pure Heaven Water" could be fatal.

Not worth the risk.

"Thirty thousand."

At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded.

The speaker was a young man wearing a bamboo hat, which blocked spiritual perception, making it impossible to see his face.

"Hmph!"

The elder in the green robe didn't expect someone to raise the bid again and snorted coldly, closing his eyes without speaking further.

"Thirty-three thousand."

Ye Bufan remained expressionless, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

"Heh heh, thirty-six thousand."

The young man in the bamboo hat chuckled coldly, releasing a powerful aura before Ye Bufan could raise the bid.

"False Core? No, it's Foundation Establishment perfection. Who is this guy?"

Many in the auction house were shocked.

Such an aura indicated mana so dense it reached the limits of Foundation Establishment, stronger than typical Foundation Establishment perfection.

Few reached this level besides the prodigies of major forces.

"Friend, know your limits. Don't end up winning the 'Pure Heaven Water' only to find you can't leave Liuyun City."

The young man in the bamboo hat said sinisterly.

It was clearly a threat.

Seeing this, everyone turned their attention to Ye Bufan, eyes filled with interest.

"Forty thousand spirit stones."

Ye Bufan spoke calmly, as if he hadn't heard the threat.

With his mana alone, he could rival Foundation Establishment perfection.

Adding forbidden spells, pseudo-magical treasures, and talisman treasures, he was confident he could even take down the Little Sword Immortal.

The young man in the bamboo hat fell silent.

Others, hearing the high bid, couldn't help but click their tongues.

They speculated about which family this wealthy young man in yellow belonged to.

Forty thousand!

It was already above the value of the Pure Heaven Water itself.

"His cultivation is unclear, but the sense of danger isn't high. He shouldn't be Foundation Establishment perfection. Is this guy really not afraid of being targeted?"

The auction host from Yun Kongcheng was also surprised.

Liuyun City prohibited killing, but there was no guarantee someone wouldn't break the rules, kill for treasure, and escape. The city lord's mansion wouldn't send people to hunt them down.

"Kid, it's yours!"

The young man in the bamboo hat spoke with irritation, not raising the bid further.

However, the aura he emitted grew colder, clearly harboring murderous intent.

Ye Bufan remained indifferent.

But inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Forty thousand was his limit.

"Congratulations to this friend for obtaining the Pure Heaven Water."

Seeing no further bids, the auction host from Yun Kongcheng smiled slightly, "You can collect it from the backstage at any time."

Ye Bufan didn't delay, standing up and heading backstage.

No matter what good items came next, they had nothing to do with him.

Because he was out of money!

Staying here would be a waste of time.

"Heh, this kid is likely not from an immortal sect or demon sect. He doesn't want to prolong things, just wants to grab the item and run."

A cultivator chuckled.

Then, some saw the elder in the green robe and the young man in the bamboo hat stand up, following closely behind Ye Bufan.

Not just the two of them, but several other Foundation Establishment perfection elders quietly followed.

"Spending forty thousand spirit stones on 'Pure Heaven Water' and getting targeted, this person is a bit foolish."

In the VIP room, the Little Sword Immortal watched Ye Bufan's back through the glass window, shaking his head with a light laugh.

The side effects of Pure Heaven Water were too great. Few would consume it except for old Foundation Establishment cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan.

Not far from him.

Yan Ruyu, in a blue and white long dress, stood quietly.

"Little Sword Immortal, how about letting me have the pseudo-magical treasure at the end?"

Yan Ruyu brushed the hair from her forehead.

As she spoke, her gaze remained fixed on Ye Bufan heading backstage, her autumn-like eyes filled with confusion.

Her perception exceeded that of ordinary people, sensing a subtle aura on that young man that stirred her soul.

This left Yan Ruyu puzzled.

"If Fairy Yan agrees to be my Dao companion, I'll get the pseudo-magical treasure and give it to you."

The Little Sword Immortal's gaze towards Yan Ruyu was intensely passionate.

"I don't want to hear such words again."

Yan Ruyu's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her voice still devoid of any worldly warmth.

The Little Sword Immortal coughed, quickly changing the topic, "That pseudo-magical treasure is a flying sword, very suitable for me. If I master it, it could greatly assist Fairy Yan in the Sealed Demon Ruins."

"Besides, Fairy Yan, you've exhausted your resources to perfect the 'Snow Spirit Sacred Art.' Even if I don't intervene, you can't compete with those Golden Core cultivators."

The Little Sword Immortal's tone grew increasingly gentle.

This simping side was completely different from his domineering demeanor when confronting Zhou Qingyun earlier.

Meanwhile.

"This kid sure slipped away quickly! Vanished in the blink of an eye!"

On the bustling street, the young man in the bamboo hat stood in the shadow of a roof, cursing as he looked at the crowded street.

He had marked the young man in yellow and followed him, yet the target still managed to escape.

Not just him.

The elder in the green robe and several other veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators from the auction also lost track.

That young man in yellow had ordinary cultivation, but his escape methods were truly extraordinary.

Just a block away, the mark was erased, and even his aura vanished completely.

As if he had evaporated into thin air.

"Brother Xunhuan, that kid is clearly skilled in disguise and concealment, hard to track. Let's just drop it. Besides, the 'Pure Heaven Water' is too dangerous and prone to causing trouble."

A woman in a bamboo hat beside him spoke softly.

Her voice was charming, remarkably similar to Liu Keqing, who had been pestering Ye Bufan.

"My cultivation technique is powerful and fast to cultivate, but it has significant side effects. Without a quality-enhancing Core Formation spiritual item, even if I succeed in forming a core, it would only be a False Core."

The young man in the bamboo hat said unwillingly.

"Let's keep looking."

Unwilling to give up, he concealed his aura and quietly searched the vicinity.

After they left.

Just a few meters away at a street stall, a young man in blue slowly stood up, looking in the direction the young man in the bamboo hat had left, lost in thought.

This person was Ye Bufan.

His Creature Creation Technique could alter his aura, making it impossible for the young man in the bamboo hat to recognize him even if they stood face to face.

"Liu Keqing, why is it this woman?"

Ye Bufan frowned, and as for the one Liu Keqing called Brother Xunhuan, Ye Bufan hadn't met him and was unfamiliar with his aura.

"But this name, I seem to have heard it before."

Ye Bufan pondered for a while, his eyes lighting up.

"Is it him? Liu Wangchuan's top follower, Mo Xunhuan!"

The Heavenly Demon Sect had many geniuses, and for his own safety, Ye Bufan had inquired about those with some strength.

Below Core Formation, besides Liu Wangchuan and Chu Zixue, the candidates for the Saint position.

There were several other powerful Foundation Establishment perfection demon cultivators.

Mo Xunhuan was one of them.

And with Liu Keqing by his side, it was clear she was also one of Liu Wangchuan's people!

"Damn! Are all the people around me undercover?"
