Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

"We have to be careful, as we may face some challenges."

Lu Yuan whispered.

Before the auction officially started, Lu Yuan and his companions chose to live in seclusion in a quiet manor to avoid unnecessary trouble.

They set up a simple protective array in the manor to prevent interference and observation from the outside world.

Su Liyan stared at Lu Yuan beside her and smiled, "Don't be too nervous, everything will go well."

Lu Yuan nodded, feeling the warmth and support from Su Liyan, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated.

He knew that he had such a group of reliable partners around him, and even if faced with difficulties, they could overcome them together.

Inside the manor, Zi Xier and Zi Cuiling were discussing the next plan.

Zi Cuiling appeared as the auction host. She introduced that the rare items exhibited in this auction were all from outside the Southern Region and were priceless.

The first item to be auctioned is the "Soul Returning Grass" which came from the Western Regions and has a powerful effect of restoring the soul.

The bidding process was extremely fierce, but Lu Yuan considered resource allocation and ultimately chose to give up the bidding.

"This Soul Returning Grass is indeed very important to our team, but we still have more important tasks to accomplish."

Lu Yuan said thoughtfully.

Zi Cuiling nodded to show her understanding.

She knew that Lu Yuan was a visionary leader who always considered the entire team.

The auction entered the stage of refining equipment and alchemy materials, and each item attracted everyone's attention and bidding.

Lu Yuan and his companion Feng Tianfeng sat in the VIP room, looking over the dazzling array of precious materials but having no intention of bidding.

Feng Tianfeng patted Lu Yuan's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "It seems that these are not very useful to us. Let's wait for more suitable items to appear."

Lu Yuan nodded, his eyes focused on every detail of the auction. He knew that the next items might be more in line with their needs.

At this moment, Master Potian suddenly stood up and walked towards the auction table. He seemed to be interested in a certain item.

Under the gaze of everyone, he resolutely raised the sign and started bidding.

Those were ten fifth-level spirit beast inner cores, and the starting price was as high as 500 medium-grade spirit stones.

True Lord Potian didn't seem to care about the price. He bid firmly and finally bought the inner elixirs at a high price.

“This guy is really generous.”

Feng Tianfeng whispered to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, and had a deeper understanding of the strength of Master Potian. He knew that in such occasions, strength was the most important thing.

Then, an even more precious sixth-rank spirit beast inner elixir appeared at the auction. Three of them were sold together for a whopping 600 medium-grade spirit stones.

True Lord Potian showed an excited expression again. He raised the sign decisively and successfully put the three inner elixirs into his pocket.

However, just when Master Potian was feeling proud, a mysterious bidder appeared, and his identity made everyone curious.

The bidder's bid was extremely high; the price of a sixth-tier spirit beast's inner elixir was far beyond the normal range.

"Who the hell is this guy?"

Feng Tianfeng frowned, his expression solemn. Lu Yuan was also thinking about the identity and intentions of this mysterious man.

The atmosphere at the auction became tense as everyone was guessing the true identity of the mysterious bidder.

The people present were talking about the matter. Some speculated that he was a representative from the Ice Crystal Gate, some thought he was a descendant of a large family, and some thought he might be an envoy from other extraterritorial forces.

The bidder didn't seem to care about other people's speculation and confusion. His eyes were fixed on the items on the auction table with a cold and firm expression.

True Lord Potian and his companion Hong Lietian looked at each other, and they could see each other's confusion and curiosity.

They all knew that the emergence of this mysterious bidder might have an impact on their plans.

The tense atmosphere lasted for a while, and finally, the mysterious bidder raised his sign again and made a sky-high bid.

The people in the auction hall fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at them in shock and curiosity.

They all wanted to know who this bidder was and why he valued these sixth-level spirit beast inner cores so much.

Feng Tianfeng held Lu Yuan's hand tightly, and her mood became nervous.

They all knew that the bid offered by this bidder was beyond their affordability, and if he could win the inner elixirs, it would become a huge challenge for them.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the mysterious bidder with a firm gaze.

They have already made preparations, and if necessary, they are willing to give up everything to fight for these inner elixirs.

The atmosphere at the auction became increasingly tense as people were waiting for the final decision of the mysterious bidder.

They knew that a fierce competition would ensue, determining everyone's fate.

In the tense atmosphere, True Lord Potian finally spoke: "I, Hong Lietian, am willing to bid 700 middle-grade spirit stones to take these sixth-level spirit beast inner cores into my pocket!"

His voice echoed throughout the auction hall, causing a commotion and exclamations.

Everyone looked at Master Potian in surprise; they didn't expect him to offer such a high price.

At this time, Hong Lietian looked at Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng with a smile, and said in a firm tone: "Lu Yuan, Feng Tianfeng, can you let me win this game?"

"I, Hong Lietian, need these inner pills more urgently, and I am willing to pay more for them."

Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng looked at each other. They could see Hong Lietian's sincerity and determination.

Although they felt a little reluctant, they knew that Hong Lietian had his reasons and plans, and his choice made sense.

Lu Yuan clenched his fists. He decided to strive to obtain more key alchemy materials in the next auction to strengthen his strength and cope with the upcoming challenges.

Zi Cuiling looked at the sign in Lu Yuan's hand and smiled with satisfaction: "Congratulations, Lu Yuan, you successfully took the photo of 'Star Shuttle'."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and felt very satisfied.

This star shuttle is indeed very practical for him. It can help him save a lot of time and improve his practice efficiency.

He had heard of the benefits of this magic weapon a long time ago, so he bid without hesitation at the auction.

Zi Cuiling continued, "Next, we move on to the last lot, which is a legendary 'Star Heart' that possesses infinite power and mysterious abilities."

The atmosphere in the auction hall was instantly ignited. Everyone knew that the Star Heart was of extraordinary value and was a treasure that countless monks dreamed of.

Zi Cuiling adjusted her mood and her expression became solemn: "Due to the special nature of the Heart of Stars, I will adopt a special bidding method." (End of this chapter)
