Look over there, so many major figures above Tier Nine have come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They must be aiming for the Tier Ten Equipment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never expected that Shifang Pavilion would actually connect with a Tier Ten Blacksmith, the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower on that side must be nervous now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, it’s said that the Tier Ten Equipment auctioned by Shifang Pavilion was crafted by a Dwarf Blacksmith.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Dwarf Blacksmith? Really? Aren’t dwarves traditionally non-communicative with the outside world? How did Shifang Pavilion manage to invite them!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exclamations continuously sounded among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance outside the auction house was noisy, luckily the Lu Family team was maintaining order, or things might have already descended into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the backstage of the auction venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhenxing, responsible for this auction, was sitting in the reception hall chatting with a few Tier Ten powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhenxing, I’ve been friends with your Lu Family for over ten years, could you introduce me to that Dwarf Blacksmith?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white-haired elder who was sitting on the side gently said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Yu, you shouldn’t say that. You have good relations with the Lu Family, don’t we all also have that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another middle-aged man in purple-gold attire quickly inserted himself into the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, everyone knows that crafting Tier Ten Equipment is extremely difficult, often taking several months with no guarantee of success, your connection is not worth these months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old woman in the middle, holding a cane, sneered, revealing a few missing front teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining folks, hearing this, nodded silently, then each expressed their desire to be acquainted with the Dwarf Blacksmith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the reception hall was thick with tension, and Lu Zhenxing seated there was sweating profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These powerhouses had come to ask the Dwarf Blacksmith for help in crafting equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the issue was, Lin You had previously mentioned not to reveal any information about him, or he would sever all ties with the Lu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something Lu Zhenxing absolutely did not want to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lu Family had worked hard to cling to such an influential connection, hiding more would be too late, how could they easily hand over this rare opportunity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both publicly and privately, it was impossible for him to divulge anything about Lin You.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he outright refused, he feared these Tier Ten powerhouses would erupt on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was only Tier Eight, how could he bear the wrath of these powerhouses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the aura they emitted was almost suffocating him, leaving him at a loss momentarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a figure flitted by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired ancestor of the Lu Family suddenly appeared behind Lu Zhenxing, placing his hand on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go host the auction, let me talk to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their family’s ancestor, Lu Zhenxing felt a great relief, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hurriedly taking his leave, he straight away exited the reception hall, heading to the auction venue, leaving the Lu Family ancestor and several Tier Ten powerhouses inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what they discussed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the auction outside smoothly proceeded amidst a chorus resembling tumultuous waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all this had nothing to do with Lin You for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he remained in the territory, reluctant to join such excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not until halfway through the afternoon did he finally finish testing all the small flying vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he wanted to test the medium-sized vehicles as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he currently lacked additional power cores, nor did he have surplus materials to create them, so he opted to leave it for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In summary, there were advantages and disadvantages among small basic vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the Skyrocketing Cannon was very fast, but couldn’t change direction at all, only suitable for straight-line travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or the Magic Broom, which was handy and agile, but very poor in balance, difficult to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These traits weren’t suitable for mass production, for use by the citizens with varying strengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps only the Jetpack was relatively stable and could be mass-produced for short-distance travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Flying Vehicle: Jetpack]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Category: Small]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Speed: 30 km\u002Fh]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Consumption: 5 Magic Energy\u002Fhour]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Introduction: A small vehicle used for daily travel, converts Magic Energy into power, relatively stable, allows direction control in the air.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of 30 km\u002Fh is not comparable to a Magic Energy Airship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the Flying Dock’s enhancement, it can reach a maximum speed of 72 km\u002Fh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s quite decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sufficient for daily single-person use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, these small vehicles aren’t expected to fly out of the Duchy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later he’ll set a rental and deposit fee, specifically renting them out to the citizens and adventuring cultivators, isn’t money just easy to earn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there are still many cultivators who want to experience the thrill of flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting away the experimental vehicle, Lin You turned to look at Wei Gang and others, who were sitting on the ground, exhausted and covered in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been a hard day for you. Take the rest of the day off and get some rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Gang and the others let out a long sigh of relief, finally free after a full day’s toil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, and Wei Gang, when you head back, inform Manager Xue to send more manpower here. This place will soon become another large market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At your command!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Gang straightened up, responding loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, he was secretly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it going to become a large market?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the lord planning something big here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no time to think further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin You had already mounted the Demon King Dragon, soaring into the sky in a rush of wind, heading back to his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until he disappeared that Wei Gang’s subordinates couldn’t hold back any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, does the lord intend to turn this place into a trade area?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this place is so barren, why did the lord choose here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speculating is pointless. Do you think you can guess the lord’s plans?\" Wei Gang withdrew his gaze, glaring at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he glanced in the direction where Lin You disappeared, speaking gravely, \"You’ve been loyal to the lord for so long, so I’ll give you a hint. When you get back, have your family purchase some land here through Manager Xue; it won’t be a loss for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you serious, Commander?\" The subordinates’ eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As cultivators of Yellow Sand City, having reached or surpassed Tier Six, they were entitled to a piece of land to establish their residences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with the rapid development of Yellow Sand City, land was extremely valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nearly impossible to acquire land in the forested areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only early loyal servants like Wei Gang or those who had made significant contributions to Yellow Sand City could acquire centrally located land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others could only wait their turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choosing peripheral lands felt insatisfactory to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So hearing Wei Gang’s words, they couldn’t help but feel tempted, though uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You think I’d lie to you?\" Wei Gang looked exasperated, \"The lord especially mentioned it; he’s giving you a chance! If you’re late, and the land is all planned out, you’ll regret it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having worked under Lin You for so long, Wei Gang knew his temperament well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was undoubtedly a person who rewarded and punished clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their diligence today was evidently appreciated by the lord, which is why he shared such important information with them before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for these subordinates being his confidants, Wei Gang wouldn’t even have bothered to disclose this to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether they could seize the opportunity depended on their own fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, he quickly got up, muttering under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Xue’s probably going to cost me a few more jars of good wine. Such bad luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cursing and grumbling to himself, he also mounted his horse, heading back towards Yellow Sand City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, wait for us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the others quickly caught up with him, vanishing into the forest shortly after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The observing civilians, realizing there was nothing more to see, gradually dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a few merchants, sensing something unusual, glanced at the distant flying dock before hurrying back into the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afternoon arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his territory, Lin You calculated the time, then directly transported to the Holy Sanctuary, heading towards Shifang Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction at Shifang Auction House had already concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large departing crowd surged out of the venue, excitedly discussing the grand event of the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhenxing, the main person in charge of this auction, was surrounded by representatives from various influential groups, receiving congratulations and compliments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lu Zhenxing had almost instantaneously risen to become a prominent figure in the center of the Holy Sanctuary, courted by countless powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His status and position firmly overwhelmed even the head of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dared to offend him anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they all knew, after this auction, many Tier Ten powerhouses would approach the Lu Family, seeking opportunities to have Tier Ten equipment forged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This, invisibly, elevated the status of the Lu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifting them to a height on par with the powers behind the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t curry favor now, when would they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Master, there’s someone outside claiming to be Young Master Lin, seeking an audience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a shout came from outside, interrupting the compliments of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Lin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhenxing’s expression changed. Who else could come looking for him at this moment with the surname Lin, but that person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not daring to think further, he immediately apologized to those around him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, I apologize sincerely, but I have important matters to attend to and can’t chat with you further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, without giving them a chance to react, he hurriedly left, heading outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The representatives of the major powers looked at each other in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who had such influence that they could make the highly esteemed Lu Zhenxing change his expression and rush off so anxiously?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some followed with strong curiosity, intent on discovering the identity of the visitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unfortunately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reached outside, they found that Lu Zhenxing had already left, nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>",1878,"2026-06-02T06:38:43.372Z",1,"novelbin.me","313a6f6811328070ceb1faf0b69b873140f9e98350e0091d5ebbad2c231510a8","global-lords-my-species-can-mutate-chapter-259","global-lords-my-species-can-mutate-chapter-257",418,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-my-species-can-mutate-cover.jpg"]
