It turns out, they were the main characters.

It wasn't just because Mu Zhian was smart; Huang Manting enjoyed the pleasure of conquering others, and the more Mu Zhian ignored her, the more she wanted him.

In the past, many men who pretended to be indifferent tried to catch her, but after a few exchanges, they fell for Huang Manting's charms.

She would disdain such a person even if he knelt beside her and licked the tips of her shoes.

What she wanted to see was a man who was truly uninterested in her being conquered by her, a servant kneeling at her feet, holding her delicate feet and kissing them.

The man who has the most beautiful woman in Tianxuan City as his Daoist partner is secretly the servant of the eldest daughter of the Huang family, kneeling by her bedside every day and racking his brains to please her... Just thinking about it makes one feel wonderful.

Although this task currently seems somewhat difficult.

But that's what makes it challenging, isn't it?

"Offer me a bid of one hundred and twenty spirit stones," Mu Zhian said, glancing at the maid beside Huang Manting.

The maid didn't speak, but subconsciously glanced at Huang Manting.

"Hurry up, what are you standing there for?" Mu Zhian patted the maid's buttocks.

The maid glanced at Huang Manting tentatively, her eyes filled with infatuation and respect, as if waiting for Huang Manting's answer.

“Young Master Mu has spoken, so what are we waiting for?” Huang Manting replied lazily.

If she refuses such a small matter, Mu Zhian might leave the private room immediately, which would be detrimental to her plans.

At the same time, as Ye Yu's voice fell, many cultivators in the crowd below the stage looked at Ye Yu intentionally or unintentionally, their eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

Why does this genius young man from the Ye family always care so much about such useless junk?

Last time it was a bronze piece, this time it's withered roots.

Ye Yu ignored the gazes of these people, calmly looking at the woman in front of the platform, suppressing the burning desire in his heart.

According to the old man inside the body, this root is indeed an ancient medicinal herb left over from a thousand years ago, named Dragon Soaring Root. Although Fei Ying said that it needs Rebirth Water to restore this withered Dragon Soaring Root, that is not actually the case.

People with alchemy talent are born with an affinity for plants. As long as Long Tengxu stays on these alchemists, he can gradually recover. However, this may take hundreds or even thousands of years.

However, there is another elixir in this world that can accelerate the recovery of the dragon's whiskers. In other words, if you take the dragon's whiskers and then refine the corresponding elixir, the dragon's whiskers can recover faster.

These people did not understand the value of the dragon's beard.

Ye Yu sneered inwardly, but did not offer any explanation.

Why not acquire Dragon's Beard at the lowest possible price?

"One hundred and twenty spirit stones." At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly came from one of the private rooms.

Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the private room on the second floor where the bids were being made.

Judging from the magnitude of the offer, they probably just wanted to join in the fun... Ye Yu said in a deep voice, "One hundred and thirty."

"One hundred and forty spirit stones."

Ye Yu's smile faltered as he realized the host of the private room was being confrontational.

"Two hundred spirit stones!" Ye Yu said.

"Two hundred and ten." The maid's calm voice came again from the private room.

A slight commotion arose again in the crowd, as people turned to look at the private room, secretly speculating about the identity of its owner.

Judging from the extent of the price increase, it seems less like they want the withered roots and more like they're deliberately going against Ye Yu.

Ye Yu frowned and called out again, "Three hundred spirit stones!"

This is the maximum price he can offer right now. He also auctioned some of the pills he refined himself, but they haven't been put up for auction yet, so he doesn't have enough spirit stones to bid on them.

Why is there always someone hindering me...? Ye Yu's fists clenched silently, an unnamed rage burning in his heart.

The bronze piece was bought by Mu Zhian last time. After he returned, his master told him that the bronze sword that Bai Ruoxi used on the dueling platform was probably evolved from the bronze piece.

That incident had already instilled resentment in Ye Yu, and he never imagined that he would be forced to such a point.

Even though he knew the item being auctioned was valuable and no one else had realized its worth, Mu Zhi'an suddenly appeared and started to argue with him.

If it weren't for Mu Zhi'an, I should be the invincible person among my peers right now...

When Ye Yu thought of this, he slowly looked up at the private room, his eyes flickering slightly: Could it be that it was Mu Zhian again?

Thinking of this, Ye Yu's hatred for Mu Zhian had reached an uncontrollable level, and his gaze was fixed on that private room.

……

Mu Zhian leisurely sipped his tea, and when he heard no one else bidding, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

He had used nearly half of the 100,000 spirit stones he received from Master Huang last time, but he still had 50,000 left. This was a considerable fortune, enough for him to live a life of luxury for a long time.

He didn't know what the root was for, but if Ye Yu wanted it, he could just take it from him.

The chosen one is a big fat sheep, and there's still plenty of wool to be plucked from him.

Mu Zhian took the teacup handed to him by the maid and slowly took a sip of tea.

Just then, a clear, sweet, and pleasant voice came from not far away: "One thousand spirit stones."

Mu Zhian subconsciously looked in the direction of the auction.

That voice... it's Ye Lingxuan!

Is this someone standing up for Ye Yu...? Mu Zhian felt a little jealous.

Then, he suddenly thought: If I bid, will she give up the auction?

However, despite his thoughts, Mu Zhian would never take the initiative to bid this time, even if it meant his death.

After all, if he just shouted, his presence at the auction house would be immediately exposed.

"Keep following them, and keep raising the price no matter what it goes up," Mu Zhian said, turning to the maid beside him.

After he finished speaking, he put down his teacup, lifted the curtain, and left the private room.

"One thousand one hundred spirit stones."

"One thousand two hundred."

As the maid spoke up again to bid, Ye Lingxuan's voice echoed from one of the private rooms once more.

Mu Zhian's gaze sharpened slightly as it fell upon the private room in a secluded corner. He muttered to himself, "Is it over there?"

He immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the private room where the Ye sisters were.

at the same time.

Ye Qian, with her pure and lovely appearance, sat obediently in the spacious and clean private room. She turned to look at the girl in the purple dress beside her and said softly, "Sister, why did you join the bidding for that kind of thing?"

"For Brother Ye Yu?"

Ye Lingxuan glanced at her younger sister and said, "Brother Ye Yu is a member of the Ye family after all. Although we haven't had much contact with him over the years, since he wants it, let's let him bid for it. It's better to give it to a family member than to give it to a complete stranger."

She will be leaving Tianxuan City soon, and after that, it will be even less likely that she will have any contact with Ye Yu. Consider this a parting gift.

Ye Qian remained silent.

Then she muttered again, "I wonder where Brother Mu went. We made a promise."

Ye Lingxuan scoffed, "I knew he wasn't a good person a long time ago, so how could I expect him to keep his appointment on time?"

Ye Qian took her sister's arm, glanced at her, and asked, "Then why are you getting dressed so early in the morning, sister?"

Ye Lingxuan smiled gently: "Qian'er, don't you want to dress up for such an important occasion?"

As she spoke, she gently touched Ye Qian's soft, elastic lips with her finger and said, "On the contrary, you usually only dress simply when you go out, but today you are dressed much more exquisitely than me."

"Could it be... that you dressed up specifically for Mu Zhi'an?" Ye Lingxuan asked with a squinty smile.

Ye Qian lowered her eyes and said softly, "What are you talking about, sister? My reason is the same as yours; we just dressed up because we're going to attend the auction."

Ye Qian's reaction was clearly seen by Ye Lingxuan. She picked up her teacup, took a slow sip, and continued, "No matter what you think, Mu Zhian is no good person. He didn't show up for our appointment today, did he?"

"Who knows, he might be all lovey-dovey with another woman right now."

A hint of disappointment appeared on Ye Qianxiao's face, but she did not speak to defend herself.

After all, it's a fact that Mu Zhian made an appointment with them but didn't show up, so maybe her sister is right.

Just then, a new quote came from the private room not far away: "One thousand three hundred spirit stones."

Such a price is far beyond the psychological limit of most young cultivators. It's not that they don't have that many spirit stones, but spending so many spirit stones for a withered root is really not worth it.

"Five thousand five hundred."

When she heard the filming coming from the private room again, Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly, her temper rising.

Ye Qian gently placed her small hand on the back of Ye Lingxuan's hand and said, "Sister, calm down. It's not worth spending so many spirit stones to buy a useless medicinal herb."

Helping Ye Yu out of consideration for the time they spent together in the past is certainly acceptable, but spending too many spirit stones would not be worthwhile.

"I want to see what the other party's psychological price is," Ye Lingxuan said calmly.

Clearly, this young lady from some mysterious force was already angry and unwilling to give in and admit defeat.

Her cherry-like lips parted slightly, as if she were about to speak again.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted.

The two subconsciously looked up and saw a handsome young man standing in front of the private room, giving an apologetic smile and saying, "Sorry we're late."

Ye Lingxuan was surprised at first, but her tone quickly turned cold as she said indifferently, "Young Master Mu, I thought you weren't planning on coming."

"I couldn't find you guys earlier. If I hadn't heard you bidding, I probably wouldn't have been able to find you by the end of the auction," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "If I don't come over soon, you might ask for tens of thousands of dollars."

"If the price really goes up to tens of thousands, even I would feel the pinch," Mu Zhian added.

The two sisters looked at each other, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

It turns out that the one who was bidding against them just now was the eldest son of the Mu family.

……

At this moment, Ye Yu looked up at the sexy woman in a black cheongsam on the platform, his eyes filled with anxiety.

"Strange...why isn't my sister following along anymore? Could it be that she's run out of spirit stones?"

If possible, he would never want the Dragon's Whiskers to fall into the hands of others... because that would be a waste. Only those with extremely high alchemy talent can nurture the Dragon's Whiskers. Once it is bought by someone else, the Dragon's Whiskers will be nothing but trash.

Only in his hands could Long Tengxu possibly recover in the future... Ye Yu was so certain of this.
