Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

"Three thousand six hundred spirit stones." Lin Yuan's voice followed closely behind, still in that steady tone, adding only the minimum of one hundred spirit stones.

"Three thousand seven hundred spirit stones." Zhou Wanwan raised the price again almost without pausing, maintaining the minimum increment. Her voice was processed by magic, making her emotionless, but it carried an undeniable persistence.

The cultivator in the private room numbered Ding fell completely silent, and the bidding had clearly become a contest between Lin Yuan and Zhou Wanwan.

At this moment, the chatter in the hall resumed, filled with excited anticipation.

It was simply because someone recognized the other person who made the offer.

"She's a disciple of the Zhou Immortal Clan. I know her; she's Zhou Wanwan of the Zhou Clan..."

"The Zhou family and the Gong family... who do you think will ultimately own this 'flowing gold sand'?"

"Of course it's the Gong family. Everyone knows that the Gong family is a powerful and wealthy immortal clan."

"But the Zhou family is not bad either. Moreover, Zhou Wanwan is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, so she has nothing to worry about in terms of money."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yi, who was in the private room, was immediately enraged.

"What kind of talk is this?" Gong Yi slammed his hand on the table, his dark eyes fixed on Lin Yuan, his tone clearly suppressing his emotions: "Lin Yuan, just keep making offers."

"Let these cultivators see what kind of financial resources are truly 'not a concern'."

Lin Yuan nodded without saying a word.

He didn't have any strong convictions about winning.

While a century-old piece of flowing gold sand is indeed rare, with his skill in refining weapons, finding a substitute would not be difficult.

However, since Gong Yi has said so...

Lin Yuan then said, "Three thousand eight hundred spirit stones."

Regardless of whether Zhou Wanwan was truly interested in this competing product, this century-old golden sand was now his.

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in cheers once again.

Many people glanced back and forth between the two private rooms, trying to discern the difference in their expressions.

First, there was Zhou Wanwan; she truly lived up to her reputation as a stunningly beautiful fairy in the cultivation world...

At first, everyone was blinded by the sight, and it took them a while to calm down and carefully observe each other's expressions.

All that could be seen was her stunningly beautiful face, as white as ice and as white as snow, nothing but beauty.

As for the rest...

The crowd decided to abandon Zhou Wanwan and turn their attention to another person.

They no longer seemed to have gained nothing from Lin Yuan's handsome face, unlike before.

but......

Lin Yuan's leisurely demeanor made success or failure seem like flowing water; he didn't strive to be first, but simply kept moving forward.

In the end, everyone could only helplessly turn their gaze away.

"Three thousand nine hundred spirit stones," Zhou Wanwan continued.

Lin Yuan: "Four thousand."

After a long while, no sound came from the private room where Zhou Wanwan was.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept across the room, and his eyes unexpectedly met Zhou Wanwan's.

In that instant, he could clearly see the complexity of Zhou Wanwan's emotions.

There was hidden anger, reluctance, and deep scheming...

Finally, give up.

Lin Yuan looked away and casually poured himself a cup of tea.

Everyone in the hall thought Zhou Wanwan would continue bidding, but after waiting for a long time, there was no further movement.

I couldn't help but get excited.

Then everyone heard Elder Mo say, "Room C5, four thousand spirit stones. First time."

"The second time."

"The third time."

"bite--!"

The gavel fell.

"Deal made. The 300-year-old Golden Sand shall belong to Fellow Daoist in Room C5." Elder Mo announced.

The maidservant brought down the jade box containing the flowing gold sand.

"Lin Yuan, with Fellow Daoist Gongsun ahead and Fellow Daoist Zhou behind, to be able to snatch competing products from them at the same time, I dare say you are one of a kind," Gong Yi said, looking at Lin Yuan with a smile in his eyes.

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Young Master, isn't there something missing from this unique offer?"

Gong Yi thought for a moment, then asked, puzzled, "What is it?"

"Young master's money," Lin Yuan said leisurely.

"Absolutely, absolutely," Gong Yi laughed heartily, "Truly one of a kind."
