I'm in the world of cultivation, and I get a system for becoming a wealthy urban tycoon?

Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying, who were standing nearby, turned to look at Lu Yang at the same time when they heard his words.

"Junior Brother Lu, you want to bid?" Qin Nanyue asked, somewhat surprised.

Although she knew that Lu Yang was wealthy, these were top-grade pills, and bidding for all five bottles together would likely be extremely fierce!

Lu Yang nodded, his gaze still fixed on the white porcelain bottle in Liu Yaoyao's hand: "Yes, I need to improve my cultivation as soon as possible. The Yellow Dragon Pill is the best cultivation pill for the Qi Refining stage, especially since it's of top quality. Since I've come across it, I naturally can't miss it."

Qin Nanyue raised her eyebrows with a touch of masculinity: "You're so rich, kid? Bidding for all five bottles together won't be cheap; it'll cost at least ten thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Lin Ying sat quietly to the side, but upon hearing Lu Yang's words, a sense of disappointment quietly rose in her heart.

She has recently been learning how to refine the Yellow Dragon Pill.

Since acquiring the Purple Cloud Pill Robe, her alchemy skills have improved rapidly. She can now barely produce Yellow Dragon Pills, though the quality is only average.

She had originally planned that once she became more proficient and the quality of the pills improved, she would change Lu Yang's cultivation pills from Qi Nourishing Pills to Yellow Dragon Pills.

As a result, Junior Brother Lu is now bidding for the top-grade Yellow Dragon Pill.

She pursed her red lips and silently cheered herself up.

Lin Ying, keep going!

Study the Yellow Dragon Pill carefully. Even if you can't refine the best quality one, you can still refine more of the superior quality one.

The quantity of top-grade Yellow Dragon Pills is limited, and Junior Brother Lu will eventually run out. At that time, I will be able to hand over the Yellow Dragon Pills that I have refined to him.

At this moment, the sounds of bidding downstairs had drawn Lu Yang's attention back.

"I'll offer three thousand!"

"Three thousand five!"

"Three thousand eight!"

The monks in the lobby on the first floor raised their hands one after another, their bidding voices rising and falling.

However, these cultivators sitting in the scattered seats couldn't even get VIP tokens, and the spirit stones in their pockets were ultimately limited.

After the price was pushed up to five thousand, the bidding became noticeably quieter, and the few independent cultivators who had raised their hands earlier silently lowered their arms.

Just then, a calm male voice came from a private room on the third floor: "Ten thousand."

As soon as the number was announced, the lobby on the first floor fell into complete silence, as if someone had pressed the mute button.

The rogue cultivators, who had just been arguing heatedly, all had their mouths half-open, their voices stuck in their throats.

However, this bid was like flipping the switch for a second round of bidding.

A gentle female voice drifted from a private room on the second floor, carrying a hint of unhurried amusement: "Hehe, this pill is quite good. I'll buy it for the younger generation. Twelve thousand!"

From a private room on the third floor, an aged voice rang out: "What a coincidence! I also wish to give this to a junior, thirteen thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand." The calm male voice spoke again, its tone unwavering.

"Hmph, sixteen thousand." The old voice snorted coldly.

Prices jumped by thousands, leaving the independent cultivators in the lobby on the first floor dumbfounded.

Some people shook their heads with a wry smile and sighed to their companions in a low voice, "It's ridiculous that we were arguing so fiercely just now... This top-grade Yellow Dragon Pill is simply beyond our reach."

"The second and third floors are full of important people with VIP passes; they're either incredibly powerful themselves or have powerful backers. What can we possibly use to compete with them?"

The gasps downstairs hadn't even stopped when the bidding upstairs had already reached 18,000.

"Nineteen thousand." The aged voice from the third floor rang out again, with a hint of pain in its tone. "This is my highest price. If you two have any higher offers, I will not bid."

The auction hall fell silent for a moment.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes scanning back and forth between the second and third floors.

Currently, only these two companies are still vying for the title.

Qin Nanyue looked at Lu Yang and saw him still leaning back in his chair, completely unperturbed. She couldn't help but urge him, "Didn't you want to compete? Why aren't you making a move?"

Lu Yang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and chuckled softly, "No rush."

On the high platform, seeing no one else bidding, Liu Yaoyao's alluring peach blossom eyes flickered slightly, her tone seductive: "VIP number fourteen on the third floor has bid 19,000—any higher bids? This is a full five bottles of top-grade Yellow Dragon Pills! If a Qi Refining stage cultivator uses them, they can save a full five years or even longer! Time is priceless—it would be such a pity to miss it. Now, the countdown begins—three!"

It must be said that Liu Yaoyao's eloquence is truly remarkable.

A few words spoken lightly, yet every word struck a chord in the hearts of the cultivators present.

What is the most valuable thing to a cultivator?

It's not a spirit stone, it's time!

Exchanging 19,000 low-grade spirit stones for five years is unrealistic for poor rogue cultivators, but it's a great deal for wealthy cultivators!

Sure enough, no sooner had Liu Yaoyao finished speaking than the woman's voice from the second-floor private room gritted her teeth and rang out: "Twenty thousand! That's my bottom line!"

The expressions of the rogue cultivators in the hall were all quite interesting.

Five bottles of pills fetched a staggering price of 20,000 low-grade spirit stones!

One bottle costs four thousand, enough for them to save for several years.

"This is insane! Aren't these seniors' money valuable...?"

They even had the illusion that they were not in the same world as the people upstairs.

Hearing another bid from the second floor, Liu Yaoyao's lips curled into a slight smile, and she turned her gaze to the third floor with a beaming look: "Is there a higher bid?"

Before she could even begin her sales pitch, the male voice from the third floor rang out again, this time with a slightly trembling tone: "Twenty thousand five hundred."

A little over 20,000 is clearly not a small amount for him.

Liu Yaoyao's eyes lit up, her smile became even brighter, and her tone unconsciously rose a few notches: "VIP number nine on the third floor has bid twenty thousand five hundred—any higher bids? If not, I'll start the countdown—"

"Twenty-five thousand."

A clear voice came from a private room on the second floor.

Liu Yaoyao: "????"

Even though she had supported the auction house multiple times, Liu Yaoyao's expression froze for a moment.

The other people at the auction house were even more stunned.

The cultivators in the lobby all raised their heads and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

From behind the curtains of the private rooms on the second, third, and even fourth floors, gazes were cast over.

From 20,500 to 25,000, the price jumped by nearly 5,000!

The leap was so large that they even thought they had misheard.

The private room where Qin Nanyue and her two companions were located.

Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying stared at Lu Yang with bewildered expressions.

They originally thought Lu Yang had given up.

After all, five bottles of top-grade Yellow Dragon Pills, costing over 20,000 low-grade spirit stones, are no longer worthwhile.

They never expected that Lu Yang would pull off such a big move at the end.

Qin Nanyue's face changed. She whispered, "Junior Brother Lu, are you crazy! That VIP on the third floor offered 20500, which is already close to the limit! If you really want to buy it, offering 21000 should be more reasonable! Why did you offer such a high price?"

Lin Ying looked at Lu Yang with some guilt and said, "Junior Brother Lu, it's all my fault for not knowing how to refine the top-grade Yellow Dragon Pill, otherwise I wouldn't have made you spend so much money to bid."

Lu Yang was in a good mood at the moment. Hearing Qin Nanyue's words, he waved his hand happily: "Twenty-five thousand is not expensive, it's worth it."

Just kidding, he's going to use a cashback card for this deal.

The less money you spend, the less you get back.

He happened to have a little over 25,000 low-grade spirit stones left, so he naturally used them all!

This is the only way to maximize profits!

Lin Ying's words, however, surprised Lu Yang.

His gaze toward Lin Ying was filled with tenderness.

Unexpectedly, when he bought the pills, this gentle senior sister actually felt guilty, thinking that it was her fault for not being able to refine the Yellow Dragon Pill.

Lu Yang couldn't resist reaching out and ruffling Lin Ying's hair.

He smiled gently and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Senior Sister Lin with my Yellow Dragon Pills from now on."
