# Chapter 1271: Price Comparable to an Immortal Scripture
Many people showed strange expressions. Was Fairy Qingshi actually going to give up? After testing and learning the result, she didn't linger, simple and direct.
Yan Chifeng, Guan Cheng, the Second Chief of the Thirteen Heavenly Desolate Riders, and others revealed meaningful expressions, looking at Ye Fan with unfriendly intent. There was no need for any concealment.
Tuoba Yu, Yu Xian, Ku Toutuo, Mu Guanghan, Ouye Mo, and others each sat in their own place, calm and composed, without any indication.
Gu Ling, the leader of the Thirteen Heavenly Desolate Riders, sat alone at a table. The wild brilliance in his eyes was intimidating. Even facing the renowned Fairy Qingshi, he made no attempt to hide it, as if trying to see through her.
"This guy definitely wants to ask about the Great Demon God," the little maid Ling'er said with a wrinkled nose.
The masters of most major powers in the city had almost all been invited. Each appeared calm and composed, clearly seasoned characters.
"Friend Ye, I want to ask, since the Dao Source is incompatible with you, what conditions would you accept to exchange it?"
No one expected the city's Great Commander to speak first. His name was Yu Han, clad in a purple bronze battle suit wreathed in hazy purple mist. His cultivation had reached the pinnacle of creation, and almost no one present could see through him.
As soon as these words were spoken, many people put down their wine cups and listened attentively. This was the answer many wanted to know.
"I don't know either. Why don't you, Great Commander, tell me what would make my heart move enough to willingly bring out the Dao Source," Ye Fan said calmly.
"I have ten thousand jin of Star River Divine Sand here. I wonder if that could move your heart," Great Commander Yu Han said.
"What? Star River Divine Sand! Even gathering from all the star rivers in the cosmos, it's hard to obtain a few taels. This is extremely rare and precious, a divine material for Great Sage-level artifact refining, impossible to come by by chance." Someone immediately exclaimed.
In the mountain area, many people's eyes burned as they looked this way. Ten thousand jin of Star River Divine Sand was truly astonishing, enough to shock the world.
"I don't have the ability to harvest billions of star rivers. This is something left by my ancestors," Great Commander Yu Han said. This substance was condensed from starlight. Having ten thousand jin of it was practically a miracle.
"I am deeply shaken by the Great Commander's divine material, but I don't need it." Ye Fan stood up and offered him a toast.
The crowd fell silent. Upon reflection, this made sense. Even if it were a Great Saint's weapon, what of it? Even a few more wouldn't matter. There was simply no way to compare it to the Dao Source.
"I have a volume of the Nether God Ancient Scripture here. I wonder if it might catch your eye?" An old man stood up. His hair was silver-white, and his spirit was vigorous. He was the master of an ancient family in this city.
Families like this all had extraordinary origins. They were all founded by powerful experts who had once set foot on the Ancient Stellar Path but ultimately failed to attain the Dao. Over the long years, some clans had disappeared, while others had grown even stronger.
Ye Fan shook his head. If it wasn't an Imperial Scripture, it held little attraction for him.
"I have a Crimson Cloud Ancient Scripture here. Not a single page is missing. Its transmission is ancient, and its origins are unfathomable. According to legend, it may have been left by a Quasi-Emperor." At this moment, Yan Chifeng spoke.
Everyone was moved. The Yan family was definitely the oldest and most powerful clan in the Second Sacred City. Their Crimson Cloud Ancient Scripture made many people envious.
Even Ye Fan's heart stirred. He felt that the Ancient Stellar Path had left behind too many secret arts. If he continued down this path, he might be able to glimpse fragments of the Nine Secrets and the scriptures of various Emperors.
Ye Fan raised his cup to him in acknowledgment but did not respond. Yan Chifeng downed his wine in one gulp, and a cold lightning bolt flashed in the depths of his pupils.
"I observe that Brother Ye's essence, energy, and spirit are refined to the point where it seems you are about to give birth to a divine spiritual aura in the Immortal Platform. This shows that the ancient scripture you cultivate is extraordinary. Perhaps only an Imperial Scripture can catch your eye."
The Banished Immortal smiled. She could see that Ye Fan wasn't unwilling to exchange the Dao Source but was waiting for the right price, needing a more precious Immortal Scripture.
"I have the first volume of the Dao Scripture, known as the most suitable ancient scripture for the Wheel Sea Secret Realm. I wonder if Brother Ye would be willing to take a look?"
This was a temptation hard to refuse. Any cultivator from ancient stars with deep foundations and long histories knew the Dao Scripture, with the first volume being the most valuable.
Raindrops of flowers sparkled, drifting down. This place was very quiet. Everyone held their breath, looking forward.
"The first volume of the Dao Scripture is tempting, but unfortunately, I have no use for it." Ye Fan shook his head.
Fairy Qingshi's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Between her crystalline and beautiful ears, ripples of light spread out. A trace of unusual color appeared on her peerless immortal face. "I didn't expect Brother Ye's fortune to be so great. You've already cultivated the first volume of the Dao Scripture. I faintly heard the supreme and profound ancient chanting sound coming from your Wheel Sea."
Everyone was startled. They looked at Ye Fan with expressions of disbelief, wondering if he actually possessed the complete Dao Scripture.
Ouye Mo, Yu Xian, Ku Toutuo, and Mu Guanghan all revealed threads of divine light in their eyes, all paying close attention. Clearly, the mention of the Dao Scripture had unsettled even them.
Ye Fan was shaken for the first time. This Fairy Qingshi was truly transcendent and refined, actually able to hear the chanting sounds from his Wheel Sea. Her divine ability was world-shaking.
All the major powers were already moved, staring at Ye Fan without pause. Yan Chifeng, Guan Cheng, and the Second Chief of the Thirteen Heavenly Desolate Riders all had cold lightning flickering in their eyes.
"Since Brother Ye already has the Dao Scripture, how about I offer another scripture? I have a complete Yin Extreme Immortal Scripture, minus the forbidden chapter's secret arts, but all five secret realms are complete."
The Banished Immortal spoke softly, but to everyone's ears, it was like a thunderclap. Many people's ears buzzed. A complete Immortal Scripture was invaluable!
This was absolutely a great fortune. The ancient Great Emperors had passed away, and most of the few ancient scriptures they left behind had become invisible under the erosion of time.
If it were in the past, Ye Fan would have considered it. But having listened to the Human Demon's lectures in the Sun Star, he had already gained insight into this kind of Immortal Scripture.
"Seeing Brother Ye so calm, without any sign of being moved, could it be that you have some knowledge of the Yin Extreme Immortal Scripture as well?" The Banished Immortal Qingshi showed a serious expression for the first time.
As for the others, they were even more shocked. Their expressions varied, and everyone paid close attention, not wanting to miss anything.
"Is the Dao Source really that important to you?" Ye Fan asked. To exchange it for a Great Emperor's ancient scripture required a certain boldness. She must value it extremely highly.
"If the Dao Source were useful to Brother Ye, I would never have come back to negotiate an exchange. The path ahead is fiercely competitive and cruel. The Dao Source is indeed of great use. I only came back after learning you couldn't use it," Fairy Qingshi said.
Ye Fan nodded. "It seems the Mythical Era is repeating itself. Even someone like you, Fairy, has encountered a supreme enemy you can't claim certain victory over. The struggle for the Imperial Path is indeed difficult."
The Banished Immortal's brows were like paintings, her features pure and refined, ethereal like an immortal. She seemed to be making some kind of decision. "I have four volumes of the Sun Extreme Immortal Scripture, missing only the Immortal Platform volume. If I give them to you along with the two scriptures I just mentioned, can we exchange?"
"Miss, you can't give them away like this. Young Master Di Tian already has the Dao Source. You don't need to exchange for him like this." The little maid Ling'er was anxious, transmitting her voice secretly.
Fairy Qingshi's expression was serene. She transmitted back secretly, "I want to determine how many ancient scriptures he has cultivated. This person is truly extraordinary. Though his realm isn't high now, he cannot be underestimated."
"Yin Extreme and Sun Extreme, the two mother scriptures. Which is weaker and which is stronger? When the two scriptures merge, one becomes emperor under heaven!" Someone sighed softly.
Everyone was shocked. They hadn't expected the Banished Immortal to have such boldness.
"These are the two original Immortal Scriptures! Fairy Qingshi's learning is truly terrifying. I dare say she must have studied other ancient scriptures as well!"
All the heroes were moved. This was truly shocking.
"I observe that you, Fairy, don't seem to care much about the Dao Source either. Why are you offering such a high price? Could it be that you're collecting it for someone else?" Ye Fan asked.
In the distance, several old men were murmuring, quietly observing the changes here. One of them said, "This person is quite extraordinary, but he cannot compare to Young Master Di Tian. Heaven and Earth do not recognize him. He is destined to be a supporting character in this era. Perhaps he can be made to follow at Young Master Di Tian's side. He should be a sharp sword."
The several old men did not approach, disturbing no one.
At this time, Fairy Qingshi smiled lightly and spoke, "Brother Ye's talent is rarely seen in ten thousand years. On the struggle for the Imperial Path, you will surely secure a place. I wish to sincerely befriend you, and at the same time, I want to introduce a friend to you. Would that be acceptable?"
"What kind of friend?" Ye Fan asked.
"You can't see him now. He is deep within the Ancient Stellar Path. His name is Di Tian," Fairy Qingshi said.
That's all for today's chapter. The late-night chapter is too late. I can't hold on today. I'm too tired. I absolutely won't stay up late. Going to sleep now. Good night. I'll continue working hard tomorrow.
