Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"Xuan Qi Stone? What is this?"

Ye Fan looked at Liu Mengying in confusion.

"Brother, the Xuan Qi Stone is a very special kind of ore. Xuan cultivators awaken the Xuan Qi themselves through meditation and enlightenment, which is called the original Xuan Qi."

"And the practice of a Xuan cultivator after awakening the original Xuan Qi is to absorb the Xuan Qi from the Xuan Qi stone, temper it, purify it, and finally transform it into his own original Xuan Qi to improve his strength!"

"Xuan Qi stones generally appear gray, white or off-white. The higher the purity of the color, the more Xuan Qi it contains and the more valuable it is!"

"I heard from my father that things like Xuan Qi Stone are very scarce and cannot be bought with money!"

Liu Mengying quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"That's it...According to the Tianyuan Fragmentary Scroll, Xuan Qi cultivation can directly absorb and refine Xuan Qi from heaven and earth..."

Ye Fan frowned slightly, and then said: "It seems that Ren Sanqian put the most precious thing into the Naxuan Ring!"

"Brother, what's in that jade bottle in your hand?"

At this time, Liu Mengying looked at the jade bottle in Ye Fan's hand with curiosity.

"Oh, it seems to be a pill... used to nourish the body... but there are too many impurities in the pill, and the potency is not well formulated..."

Ye Fan looked at the black balls in the jade bottle and explained.

"Oh, that's it~"

Liu Mengying nodded and began to sort out the things in the wooden box.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, took the knife he had collected from Ren Sanqian last night and walked towards the dead tiger, preparing to get Liu Mengying a tiger skin cloak. After all, Liu Mengying was very thin and was a little afraid of the cold at night!

………….

The night falls,

After Ye Fan and Liu Mengying had a beautiful dinner, they wandered around the street.

"Brother, that person in front seems to be Qian Duoduo~!"

Liu Mengying held a paper pinwheel in one hand and a candied haws in another hand. Suddenly, she said unexpectedly.

"Hey~ It's really him!~"

Ye Fan looked in the direction Liu Mengying pointed and was also a little surprised.

At this moment, Qian Duoduo had an obvious smile on his fat face. He was teasing a canary in the stall's birdcage and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Ye......Ye Shaoxia?"

Qian Duoduo seemed to notice Ye Fan's gaze and turned around with a look of astonishment on his face.

He looked around with a wary expression, then strode to Ye Fan's side, with a worried look on his face, "Young Master Ye...you...why haven't you left Jiangzhou yet?"

"Oh, I don't want to leave Jiangzhou for the time being~"

Ye Fan waved his hand lazily.

"I……….."

Qian Duoduo was speechless for a moment. He had already told Ye Fan about the strength of the Li family before... But two days later, Ye Fan was still fine...

You know, the last person who smashed up Li's pawnshop was killed in the street in the afternoon...

"Speaking of which, Qian Duoduo, why are you so happy? Have you awakened your original profound energy?"

Ye Fan looked at Qian Duoduo curiously.

"No, no~"

Qian Duoduo shook his head, "Although we already have the Coffin Gate Seven Smiling Flowers, we still need to do a lot of things to awaken the profound energy!"

"The reason why I am so happy is because I got the opportunity to attend the Zhenbei Houfu Banquet!"

As he spoke, Qian Duoduo's hand flashed with light, and a gold-red invitation appeared in his hand.

"Invitation from Zhenbei Hou Mansion?"

After seeing what the other party was holding, Ye Fan immediately became interested. He thought for a moment and said, "Qian Duoduo, where did you get this invitation from Zhenbei Hou Mansion? I want it too!"

"Today, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion sent invitations to all the families in Jiangzhou City, inviting everyone to attend the banquet... This invitation..."

Looking at Ye Fan with a longing look on his face, Qian Duoduo felt a little embarrassed, "Ye Shaoxia, it's not that I don't want to give this invitation to you... but my invitation has someone's name on it, and no one can get in except me..." ….And I have never been to Zhenbeihou Mansion before, and I really want to see the world!”

"Okay~"

Ye Fan muttered somewhat depressedly.

“That…………that…………..”

Seeing Ye Fan turning around to leave with a depressed look on his face, Qian Duoduo spoke again.

"what happened?"

Ye Feng frowned slightly when he saw Qian Duoduo's troubled face.

"Young Master Ye......"

Qian Duoduo looked around again and said in a low voice: "Young Master Ye, I heard... I just heard... someone is selling invitations to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion on the black market!"

"Huh? What's going on?"

Ye Fan frowned, "Didn't you just say that there is someone's name on the invitation? Can this also be resold?"

"When a big power like Zhenbei Houfu holds a banquet, they will sometimes send out anonymous invitations, but the number is very small... This time a mysterious black-robed man came to the black market... He I have this kind of anonymous invitation in hand..."

"It is said that someone has already received the invitation this way, and it is just like the real one!"

Qian Duoduo whispered while observing the surroundings vigilantly.

"Is that so... Do you know how to get to that black market?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan immediately decided to check out the situation.

"follow me!"

………….

Half an hour later,

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were led by Qian Duoduo to a very remote and dimly lit place, which was the black market that Qian Duoduo mentioned.

The people here all wore various fang masks, which looked quite scary. Under Qian Duoduo's guidance, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying had naturally put on masks and changed their clothes.

"Young Master Ye, over there!"

After taking a closer look, Qian Duoduo quickly discovered the target of his trip. He approached Ye Fan and spoke.

"Ok!"

Ye Fan nodded slightly and walked slowly towards a corner on the right front where there were not many people. There sat a figure covered in a black robe with his head slightly lowered.

"Hello, I want two invitations to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion!"

Arriving in front of the black figure, Ye Fan opened the door directly.

After hearing Ye Fan's words, the figure in black robe slowly raised his head and quietly looked at Ye Fan and Liu Mengying and Qian Duoduo beside him.

"Oh, this is for you!~"

At this time, Ye Fan handed the wooden box he was holding to the other party. Inside was 500 taels of gold, which was exactly the price of the two invitations to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion mentioned by Qian Duoduo.

"Crack!~"

The figure in black robe did not speak. He slightly opened the wooden box, and wisps of golden light appeared instantly. With the next breath, he closed the wooden box.

"Boohoo!~"

Almost at the same time, a light flashed from the hands of the figure in black robes, and two golden red invitations appeared in his hands and handed to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan took it, checked it, and left with Liu Mengying and Qian Duoduo.

…………

Under the bright moonlight,

"These two invitations...except for the names...the other materials and workmanship...are really exactly the same!"

After Ye Fan left the black market, he found a place to carefully compare the anonymous invitations purchased on the black market and the invitations with lots of money, and couldn't help but murmur.

"Okay...it seems like this is really the case..."

Qian Duoduo was also surprised.
