Chapter 690: with translation of title

Lu Yuan gave a slight smile, "I guess so. I'm interested in some Fobao and secret manuals."

The young cultivator showed a hint of envy, "Looks like you understand these better than I do."

Lu Yuan gave a light smile, "Everyone has their own field of interest."

"If you're still interested, we can go check out the next auction booth together."

The young cultivator's eyes flashed with delight, he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

Lu Yuan looked at the beauty on stage who claimed she could boost cultivation at a specific moment, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

He knew this special ability was undoubtedly a huge temptation for male cultivators, but he also understood there might be some cost and risk involved.

He noticed that other female cultivators completely scorned this special ability, their eyes showing a hint of mockery and disdain.

Lu Yuan did not agree with the difference in cultivation between men and women; he firmly believed everyone has their own unique advantages and value.

"I will come to save you." Lu Yuan thought firmly.

After fierce competition, Lu Yuan won the beauty's ownership for thirty thousand spirit stones.

Other dissatisfied cultivators voiced objections, and the stage erupted into chaos.

"This is unfair!"

"We clearly bid higher!"

"Kid, just you wait!"

Cultivators from the mid-sized sect began to clamor, seemingly wanting to teach Lu Yuan a lesson.

The tense atmosphere filled the air, and people's emotions quickly heated up.

Lu Yuan stood on the stage, calmly scanning his surroundings.

He knew that without a countermeasure, the situation could spiral out of control, leading to more serious consequences.

He took a deep breath and shouted in a low voice, "Fellow cultivators, please calm down!"

"I now indeed hold the ownership of this beauty."

"But I didn't come to seize it; I acted out of pity."

The cultivators below heard Lu Yuan's explanation and quieted down a bit.

Lu Yuan continued, "I hope that by purchasing her ownership and consulting with her, I can ensure her safety and freedom while utilizing her abilities."

Upon hearing this, some cultivators hesitated.

Lu Yuan looked at the beauty with a kind smile, "Are you willing to cooperate with me?"

The beauty lifted her head to look at Lu Yuan, her eyes showing gratitude.

"Thank you for your kindness. I am willing to cooperate with you."

Lu Yuan nodded, "Since everyone agrees, please restore order."

As Lu Yuan timely resolved a potential conflict, the cultivators present gradually regained calm.

Immediately after, the stage staff took the beauty away from the scene to Lu Yuan's location.

"Thank you for saving me."

The beauty sincerely said to Lu Yuan.

Zi Xi'er stood beside Lu Yuan, smiling and said, "Lu Yuan is our good brother; he is kind-hearted and understanding."

"What, this is what I should do." Lu Yuan also smiled.

"Next, I will introduce to everyone the three finale treasures of the auction."

Feng Zhuoyu's voice echoed throughout the venue.

Lu Yuan also felt anticipation in his heart; these treasures' value must be extremely high.

He thought that if he could obtain one of them, it would greatly aid his cultivation.

Feng Zhuoyu slowly unfolded three red cloths.

Under the first red cloth appeared a magnificently splendid sword with a blue-green light flashing.

"This is the premier high-grade spiritual artifact of Nanzun—the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword!"

Everyone was drawn to this sword, casting hot and envious glances.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but be moved; he also uses a thunderfire sword as his weapon.

Unfortunately, the thunderfire sword in his hand is only a third-grade spiritual artifact; compared to this high-grade artifact before him, it's truly like a pearl cast before swine.

After the second red cloth was lifted, an egg-shaped object came into view.

"This is a spirit beast egg expected to grow into a seventh-rank spirit beast!"

Feng Zhuoyu said mysteriously.

Upon hearing the words "seventh-rank spirit beast," everyone let out a sudden exclamation.

In the Xiuzhen Jie, a seventh-rank spirit beast is already considered a top-tier existence.

A spirit beast's ability not only provides strong support to cultivators, but also allows practitioners to obtain higher-level guidance and insight.

Lu Yuan's heart raced; he immediately fixed his gaze on that spirit beast egg.

He deeply understood how great the help of owning a seventh-rank spirit beast would be for his cultivation.

The final treasure, Feng Zhuoyu slowly unfolded the third red cloth.

A huge battle flag unfolded before everyone's eyes.

"This is a flag capable of laying down a sixth-rank formation over a hundred-li range!"

Everyone gasped in unison; every sect needs a powerful formation to protect itself and hold its territory.

Such a flag is undoubtedly an extremely scarce and precious treasure.

Seeing many sect disciples on the venue showing greed, Lu Yuan couldn't help but secretly ponder his own strength.

"Obtaining one of these treasures is no easy task." Lu Yuan silently thought.

In his mind flashed the detection technique and agile body technique he was skilled at.

"Perhaps I can try to use my strength and wisdom to vie for one of them."

Immediately following, as Feng Zhuoyu's voice sounded, a commotion spread from inside the venue.

The Qingming Valley and Xuantian Sect, these two major powers, actually participated in the bidding at the same time!

"Eight million five hundred thousand spirit stones!" shouted a disciple of Qingming Valley loudly.

"Nine million spirit stones!" immediately called out a disciple of Xuantian Sect.

The two powers launched a fierce bidding war on the auction stage, while Lu Yuan focused intently on watching the battle flag.

That battle flag, made from the hide of an ancient giant beast, was tattered and worn, yet the array power contained within was unimaginably strong.

As long as he obtained it, when he operated the Lei Huo Dan Ge, he would have more security.

Lu Yuan firmly decided in his heart to contend for this treasure.

He silently chanted the incantation, and a strong surge of detection technique emanated from within him, spreading outward.

Blue light shimmered, and the entire venue was enveloped in the detection technique.

Lu Yuan lightly tapped his finger and changed his position.

Just as the disciples of Qingming Valley and Xuantian Sect had bid up to twelve million spirit stones, Lu Yuan had already successfully sneaked into the vicinity of the battle flag.

"Thirteen million spirit stones!"

A disciple of Qingming Valley shouted, gritting his teeth.

But just then, a figure suddenly flashed in from outside the venue, holding a sealed jade box that faintly glowed with a frosty light.

"Stop!" a voice rang out across the entire venue.

Su Liyan appeared before the battle flag, solemnly saying: "Our Ziyun Clan bids twenty million spirit stones to purchase the battle flag!"

Everyone gasped in surprise; no one had expected the Ziyun Clan to suddenly join the bidding.

Zi Xi'er lightly laughed and exchanged a glance with Lu Yuan, who stood beside the battle flag.

Needless to say, all of this was arranged by her.

Unable to obtain the battle flag, the gazes of Qingming Valley and Xuantian Sect toward the Ziyun Clan's leader became complex.
