Ye Bufan, following the route indicated by the shop assistant, passed through several streets and came across a massive palace.
This great hall was truly immense. He had passed through various palaces before, even visiting the three great sacred gates, but none compared to this one.
Stepping into the main hall, I found that various energy stones were hung from the ceiling, emitting dazzling light and illuminating the entire space.
And there were too many people here. Looking around, one couldn't see the edge. There were countless people crammed together in almost every corner.
Ye Bufan secretly sighed in his heart, it seemed that the reputation of this Paradise Island was indeed not small, attracting so many cultivators around.
He took a look around, the transactions here were bizarre and varied.
Besides conventional spirit herbs and various swords, the souls of cultivators' spirit beasts, cultivators' golden pills, and even the primordial spirits of high-level cultivators could all become commodities here.
It's obvious that anything can be sold and bought here.
After Shui Yueli entered, she didn't even bother with the rest. Her eyes darted around frantically, desperately searching for Qin Biyao's figure.
It's no wonder she's in a hurry, business here is booming. A lot of cultivators like to buy cauldrons for their practice. If she's even a little slow, the Great Elder might be bought by someone else.
Once that happens, it's bound to be a tragedy, it's almost unimaginable.
But after looking for a long time, she couldn't find Qin Biyao's figure, which made her even more anxious.
“Don't worry, it's so big here, it's normal not to find anything in a short time.”
Ye Bufan patted her shoulder repeatedly, comforting her incessantly. And it was indeed the case, every stall here had a prohibition set up to prevent mental sensing. If you wanted to find someone, you could only rely on your eyes.
but the crowds were surging, throngs of people everywhere, making it incredibly difficult to find someone.
"Think carefully, where were you before?"
Shuilye took a deep breath, calmed her excitement, carefully identified the direction, and then pointed to her left.
It should be over there.
Let's take a look back.
Ye Bufan led the three of them in that direction. Most of the stalls here were selling furnaces, and many female cultivators were displayed at the front like commodities.
These people were previously like Qin Mengyao and the others, perhaps elders of major sects or powerful figures who commanded respect.
Now they are completely sealed off in their cultivation, left to be slaughtered like sheep. Each face is ashen gray, filled with despair.
Ye Bufan sighed inwardly, from the bottom of his heart he wanted to help these people escape their predicament, but unfortunately his current cultivation level was insufficient.
You can't rely on brute force on this paradise island, and with his current abilities, helping Qin Mengyao is already a great achievement. As for others, he can only offer his sympathy.
They walked for nearly a thousand meters, and before them was another stall selling cauldron.
A dozen or so beautiful female cultivators stood before the door, their eyes vacant and faces numb, as if they already knew their fate.
Beside them stood a thin middle-aged man with a pair of small whiskers and shrewd eyes that glittered like green beans.
This guy has a sly grin and keeps recommending the goods in his shop to passing customers.
"Sir, what can I get for you? All our wares here are top-quality cauldrons, guaranteed to satisfy and at a fair price…"
A middle-aged man politely greeted Ye Bufan, but the moment he saw Shui Yueli beside him, he was taken aback.
"You... didn't you just get bought? How did you come back so soon?"
Suiyueli also recognized the middle-aged man at this time. This stall was in charge of him, named Wulaoliu. She had just been sold by his hands.

"Cut the crap and tell me where the Grand Elder is!"
Among the dozen or so women gathered at the door, Qin Biyao was nowhere to be seen. Worried that she had been sold off, she spoke with a trembling voice.
Wu Lao Liu's small mung bean eyes rolled around twice, revealing a cunning smile.
"We have elders, sect masters, and saintesses here. I wonder which one you're referring to?"
According to the rules of this Heavenly Island, the furnaces here will have special restrictions.
Once it's sold, the restriction will be lifted and he'll have nothing to do with it anymore.
As for what kind of identity a person assumes after they leave, whether they live or die is none of their concern.
For this reason, when Shui Yueli returned, he remained as polite and courteous in his speech as he was to any other guest.
"That's the one I used to be with."
Water Moon hurriedly said.
Wu Lao Liu gave a sly smile: "You mean that old woman surnamed Qin? She's a bit too old to sell well here. She's already been reserved by Shuangxiu Building and will be sent over tomorrow."
< Shui Yue Li's face darkened with fury. "You dare!" >
Wu Lao Liu's expression remained unchanged, his eyes full of contempt.
What is this place? This is Paradise Island.
Do not say that the other party is just a newly sold cauldron, even if their status is prominent and their cultivation is high, I am not afraid.
After all, there are law enforcement officers here to maintain order. The most important thing is fairness; no one dares to attack anyone else or force a sale.
"Ma'am, you're mistaken. I'm in business. What's there to be afraid of?"
Ye Bufan's expression also darkened. Having accessed the memories of the short and fat cultivator, he naturally knew what the Dual Cultivation Building was here.
That kind of place is similar to a brothel in the secular world, except that they use female cultivators here.

Once you enter the Duality Cultivation Tower, the consequences are utterly miserable, culminating in being completely drained of your essence.
He said coldly, "Bring the person out. I want to ransom her."
Seeing two fat sheep, Lao Liu's heart was filled with joy, but his face wore a look of sadness.
"I'm sorry, sir, but that person has already been booked by the Dual Cultivation Tower. In business, reputation is everything, and I can't go back on my word."
Ye Bufan had experienced so much, how could he not see through his thoughts? He sneered coldly.
"Just tell me how much and bring the person over quickly, or I'll tear down your shop."
Wu Lao Liu wanted this very purpose, and seeing that the other party was willing to pay a large sum of money, he immediately beamed with joy.
"Young Master, please wait a moment. I'll be right back."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to the back, quickly coming out with Qin Biyao.
"Great Elder!"
Shuǐyuè Lì immediately choked back tears and rushed over, pulling her into her arms.
Uncle Liu stood beside, just smiling slyly and didn't stop it.
There is simply no such thing as snatching people here, not even if it were the emperor himself.
He is now watching the other party's performance, the more they value themselves, the harder they can be cut.
Qin Biyao originally looked like a walking corpse, her face full of daze. But when she saw Shui Yueli, she first froze for a moment, then said.
"Yuè Lǐ, weren't you taken away? How did you come back?"
After she finished speaking, she saw Ye Bufan beside her, and her eyes suddenly lit up with a strange gleam.
"Doctor Ye, what are you doing here?"
