After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

But these onlookers waited until nightfall and still didn't hear any news of anyone being dealt with by Sanshengxuan.

Because in their eyes, those few reckless young people had already given away the spirit stones and made their escape, and were now already on the boat.

This red fox wasn't bought by Ye Lan alone; it was purchased by the five of them together. During the auction, they had been discussing it using their divine senses. Nangong Yue was confident that the red fox would give birth smoothly, and if they could buy two red foxes for under 8,000 high-grade spirit stones, it wouldn't be a loss.

Fortunately, they didn't end up using the eight thousand high-grade spirit stones.

When the auction ended, they split into two groups. Ye Lan and Jiang Ning took the spirit stones given by everyone to pay, while Jiang Nan and Nangong Yue went to collect the spirit stones they had obtained from auctioning pills and herbs for Sanshengxuan.

Ye Lan and the others arrived at the payment and pickup area, which was a large, separate room where Yao Yan was waiting.

Yao Yan watched as the two young men actually took out 7,500 high-grade spirit stones to pay off the remaining balance for the red fox, and they also paid for the lotus seeds and iron ore.

After Ye Lan settled the bill, a slight crack appeared on Yao Yan's beautiful face. She couldn't believe that after so many years as an auctioneer, she could still make a mistake.

After she came to her senses and thought about it, she realized she understood.

These people are all young, but they have all reached the Nascent Soul stage, and two of them have reached the Out-of-Body stage. They must have powerful families behind them. She just couldn't understand why Ye Lan and the others weren't sitting in the VIP area.

Yao Yan flattered the two of them, trying to find out their background, but Ye Lan and the others just smiled, neither revealing their identities nor denying that they had someone backing them.

Recalling her earlier reminder at the meeting, Yao Yan broke out in a cold sweat. Her words now sounded particularly harsh, clearly a warning that if someone didn't have money, they shouldn't act recklessly. If they encountered someone petty, they might hold a grudge at this point.

To apologize for her earlier rudeness, Yaoyan gave Ye Lan a rope, which was also a magical artifact that could be used to bind the red fox.

Ye Lan and her group spent nearly eight thousand high-grade spirit stones at Sanshengxuan today, making them quite the big customers. Considering that these unfamiliar young people have powerful backgrounds, it's understandable that she would give them a magic artifact as a gift.

Ye Lan accepted the rope to express his gratitude. He had been worried just now that the red fox was so badly injured and would need to be treated eventually. With the rope, he wouldn't have to worry about it running away while he was being treated.

The ropes binding the red fox had been untied. Because of its high cultivation level and its current irritability, Ye Lan decided to keep it in the cage.

He cast a cleaning spell, making it and the cage clean, and then placed them together in the space. Now the space was spacious enough that it didn't bother Xiaobai's soft couch.

But as soon as it entered the space, Xiaobai became somewhat unhappy. Xiaobai felt that its territory had been invaded, so it immediately released the pressure of a divine beast. Xiaobai's cultivation level was no lower than its own, and the red fox immediately shrank into the corner of the cage, not daring to make a sound.

Ye Lan promised Xiao Bai that she would let the red fox out as soon as they got on the ship, which calmed Xiao Bai down a bit.

The five of them agreed to meet at the boat's location, so Ye Lan and Jiang Ning picked up their things and flew to the dock.

That's why the crowd of onlookers never saw five people emerge from Sansheng Pavilion together, nor did they hear any news of Sansheng Pavilion continuing to auction the red fox. It wasn't until evening that everyone realized these young people were playing dumb, deliberately making everyone think they were just being stubborn because they had no money, thus discouraging others from bidding.

Ye Lan and the others were unaware that someone had been waiting at Sanshengxuan until nightfall. The dock was not far from the place where pearls were sold, and after leaving Sanshengxuan, they flew directly on their swords without wasting too much time.

There were many people selling oysters by the dock. These oysters were quite large, piled up like small mountains in front of the vendors. On top of them was an opened oyster, revealing plump oyster meat. Before boarding the ship, Ye Lan couldn't resist and bought about a hundred oysters.

"The ship is coming."

When Ye Lan was paying for the oysters, Jiang Ning reminded him that the boat only ran once a day, and if he missed it, he would have to wait until the next day.

"Okay, coming right away." Ye Lan bought two buckets of these oysters for the stall owner and filled them with some seawater.

Ye Lan and her group arrived at the shore. A sea breeze blew, and waves crashed against the shore, creating white spray. A sailboat was moored in the sea; it was the boat they would be on that day.

This ship was different from the ancient ships Ye Lan had imagined. It was actually a multi-story ship, like a small high-rise building, with three floors. The ship was very large, but it looked very well made. The white sails on it looked like an array. There was someone steering the ship at the bow, and his cultivation level was above Ye Lan's.

A boat ride costs 100 high-grade spirit stones per person, but if you want to stay in a room on the third floor, you need to pay an extra 100 high-grade spirit stones per person.

After all, it would take ten days to reach the Northern Continent by boat, so Ye Lan and the others didn't skimp on themselves and booked five rooms connected together, one for each person.

They each spent 1,500 high-grade spirit stones to buy the red fox. In addition, Ye Lan bought lotus seeds for Xiaobai. After paying for the boat fare, he had basically spent all the money he had.

Ye Lan sold those low-grade spiritual herbs and pills for 250 high-grade spirit stones. Sanshengxuan would deduct 10% commission, and now he had even spent all the spirit stones he got from the Bat King. He only had 25 high-grade spirit stones left. Ye Lan couldn't help but feel heartache when he thought about this.

No wonder people say raising pets is expensive. Not only does Xiaobai eat more every day, but it also spends more money every day.

Enough. A real man shouldn't complain about being poor.

Ye Lan planned to refine more pills and auction them off once he arrived in the Northern Continent. He discovered that the profit margin of pills was far higher than that of spirit herbs. Once his pill refining skills improved, he could earn back the spirit stones by selling a few high-grade pills.

Thinking about it this way, I feel like I have something to look forward to.

People heading to the Northern Continent boarded the ship one after another. There were servants on board, and after Ye Lan and the others gave them spirit stones, the servants led them to their rooms on the third floor. The rooms had windows, and when opened, one could see the azure sea, which was breathtaking.

His master and mistress had taken him to the beach before, but the seawater in modern times is far inferior to the seawater resources available today. In addition, the weather was clear and cloudless today, and when you looked into the distance, the sky and the sea seemed to be connected.

After waiting for fifteen minutes, and with no one else boarding, the ship started up and slowly sailed away from the coast, heading north.
