System Auction Shop, I'll sell out across all realms!

As he thought about it, Lu Yun couldn't help but smile...

He wondered—what kind of expression would the sect leader have if he knew about this?

They thought that Qingzhou, where they lived, was just a remote and desolate place.

But who would have thought that such a powerful figure was hidden in this desolate place...

"Forest owner, I love you to death!"

Lu Yun muttered to himself, but this startled Zhou Tianxing, an elderly man standing next to him.

hiss!

Young people these days are really getting ahead of themselves...

Lu Yun's lips twisted into a grotesque smile.

Never mind all that, we have to get this.

Even if Zhou Tianxing didn't have enough spirit stones, he still had his own Huangji Sect to support him.

The Huangji Sect's accumulated foundation over thousands of years is something that these small local sects in Qingzhou simply cannot compete with.

At that moment, his eyes shone with an astonishing light, determined to win.

……

The atmosphere in the Star Palace was completely silent.

Lin Budong sat quietly, his gaze fixed on the high platform, remaining silent for a long time.

I just spent 11 million to secure a Tier 6 top-tier qualification.

Now, Master Lin has brought this thing out again...

What the hell are you doing?

Lin Budong felt that his greatest gain from coming here was not the self-selection qualification.

Instead, I understood a principle...

Do not spend all your spirit stones too early when attending the All-Heavens Auction House meeting!

Because you have no idea what kind of incredible treasure lies behind you.

Although it's highly unlikely you'll be able to buy it, you'll always feel regretful if you don't participate.

"Ugh!"

Lin Budong slowly exhaled, then closed his eyes and plugged his ears.

He didn't want to hear anyone say that they had bought this thing...

Directly in front of the sacred tree, Lin Tian, ​​dressed in noble attire, stood at the highest point, overlooking the millions of people below.

Most people were shocked and eager.

Qin Batian and Lu Chenzhou, who had acquired many valuable items from the Zhutian Auction House, even displayed a lovesick expression on their faces.

Tut tut

They're such little gluttons.

They got such a great deal and still want more.

……

The myriad aspects of human nature are clearly visible at a glance.

At the center of the high platform, the purplish-red hidden dust slowly rose into the air.

The light was dazzling, and the purple light surged, directly illuminating the entire golden dome.

Lin Tian's voice resounded clearly throughout the entire small world.

"Hidden Realm Dust, Rank 7, Low Grade"

"Starting bid: one million spirit stones."

"The minimum bid increase is 10,000 spirit stones."

"Supports the use of luck and lifespan for discounts."

His eyes held a hint of encouragement and amusement as he slowly swept over all the VIP rooms, exuding an air of composure.

"Now……"

"The auction has begun."

The moment the auction began, Lu Yun, in the VIP room on the third floor, immediately made a bid.

"Ten million."

He was too lazy to haggle with all the cultivators present, so he capped the price at ten million.

This one move eliminated 99.99% of the competitors on the field.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

It wasn't that I was scared, but rather that I felt like cursing...

The forest owner increased the auction of lifespan points to boost participation.

You're going to come right over with ten million?

What a damn rich bastard...

However, no one dared to shout in public; they could only curse him a thousand times in their hearts, daring not to speak out.

The tall, thin man in the corner, his face flushed, muttered in a very low voice.

"What the hell is this beast?"

His companion hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, anxiously trying to dissuade him:

"Keep your voice down! Are you out of your mind?"

The tall, thin man couldn't hold back any longer, feeling utterly frustrated.

"Why am I speaking softly! The starting bid is only one million. We ordinary people can still shout a few times to have some fun!"

"He's sealing the deal with us for ten million, what's the point of us even playing?"

Everyone around him remained silent.

That's absolutely true.

With a price tag of one million, countless small sects and families on the second floor could scrape together their resources and participate.

Even if you don't win the bid, at least you participated in a top-tier auction.

Ten million?

This completely crushed their eligibility to even bid openly.

The tall, thin man gritted his teeth and muttered another curse under his breath.

"This newborn ape is something that hasn't fully evolved."

The voice was so faint it was barely audible, and no one around could dissuade him.

Because everyone present was silently cursing along with them.

……

Inside the VIP room of Zixiao Pavilion, Zhou Tianxing felt a tightness in his chest as he looked at Lu Yun's arrogant and smug appearance.

His face appeared calm and composed, but his eyes were filled with disdain and resentment.

He's currently cursing under his breath.

When you came to Qingzhou, you were so arrogant that you looked down on everyone.

He kept referring to Qingzhou as a poor, remote place, and said that the Zhutian Auction House was beneath his notice.

If you don't like it, then don't try to take it!

Is it so hard to quietly drink tea and watch the excitement?

Now that they've seen a seventh-tier treasure, they're scrambling for it more eagerly than anyone else, showing absolutely no decorum of a disciple from a major sect!

And then there's that attitude of seeing the forestry owner as if he were the master of the house.

Tut tut

As expected of a disciple of a major sect, his ability to adapt to changing circumstances is truly remarkable.

Although he cursed a thousand times in his heart, Zhou Tianxing dared not utter a single word.

There was no other way; his Zixia Pavilion was known as the number one sect in Qingzhou.

In reality, it was just a branch of the Huangji Sect in Qingzhou...

A feeling of contempt welled up in my heart.

He had previously worried that Lu Yun would cause trouble in Qingzhou, but now he finally saw the truth.

This person isn't here to cause trouble; they're here to blatantly steal opportunities!

They seize it with a clear conscience and as if it were their right.

Damn Lu Yun...

Draw a circle to curse the Huangji Sect!

Lu Yun, sitting next to him, leaned back comfortably in his chair, crossing his legs.

His expression was one of absolute certainty.

Ten million was a price he had calculated for a long time.

It was right on the bottom line of Zixiao Pavilion.

Any more and he'd have to pay for it himself, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of.

As for why not offer a smaller portion, it's because almost everyone present had lost their competitive edge.

That was, of course, for the sake of his idol, Lin Tian!

Seventh-tier items worth millions...

Does that sound good to people?

No one should dare to say behind Lin Dada's back that he's stupid...

Lu Yun picked up the iced tea and took a sip, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest, feeling completely at ease.

But just as he was happily planning how to return to his clan and claim credit,

A hoarse, deep voice suddenly came from another unfamiliar VIP room on the third floor.

"Twelve million."

The sound was like sandpaper scraping against sheet metal, carrying an inherent sense of terror and oppression.

This is not any local force in Qingzhou!

The appearance was strange and eerie...

Lu Yun's smile vanished completely, and he looked at Zhou Tianxing.

"Sect Leader Zhou, are you sure there isn't some hidden sixth major sect in Qingzhou...?"

Zhou Tianxing shook his head, completely bewildered.

Who?

There are actually hidden big shots in Qingzhou?

Lu Yun didn't have time to think it through and gritted his teeth to offer: "Thirteen million."

"Fourteen million."

The other party remained unhurried and spoke in a calm tone.

Lu Yun frowned even more, his brain frantically searching for memories.

Heavenly Sword Sect, Mystic Ice Valley, Star Palace, Purple Cloud Pavilion...

He had heard the voices of all factions, and none of them had this hoarse tone.

The unknown opponent instantly made him feel uneasy.

"Fifteen million!" he gritted his teeth, his tone growing increasingly serious.

"Sixteen million."

The opponent refused to budge an inch, relentlessly following and clamping down without the slightest hesitation.

"Holy crap!"

At this moment, Lu Yun completely panicked.

He had run out of spirit stones and his luck points were almost depleted.

Lu Yun simply couldn't understand how such a mysterious person with terrifying wealth could be hiding in a mere Qingzhou!

His face turned deathly pale, and his lips were pressed tightly together into a straight line.

Zhou Tianxing watched his retreating figure, silently lamenting the unpredictability of life.

He hoped that he, as a prodigy of the upper sect, could go back and calm down.

When will he finally understand that there are always people more capable than you...?

……
