691. Chapter 689: All Sold

Next up is the spirit beast egg.

"4.92 million spirit stones sold!"

The auctioneer shouted the reserve price and then announced the end of bidding.

Lu Yuan felt a bit disappointed; although the spirit beast egg would greatly aid his cultivation, the spirit stones he currently had were insufficient to compete with Profound Heaven Sect.

The atmosphere in the venue became subtle.

As Lu Yuan pondered whether to make another move to contend for the high-grade spiritual artifact, he unexpectedly heard a low, stern voice nearby: "15 million spirit stones!"

Everyone turned their gaze toward the direction the voice came from.

He saw a tall, handsome young man standing there—none other than Profound Heaven Sect Sect Master's disciple, Huang Chen.

Huang Chen coldly scanned everyone around, his gaze landing on Lu Yuan.

After a moment of eye contact, they both turned their heads to look at the auctioneer.

Lu Yuan could feel the pressure emanating from Huang Chen, and his heart tightened slightly.

Since this person could attain such a high position within Profound Heaven Sect, he must not be easy to deal with.

The auctioneer silently announced the end of bidding, and the third treasure went to Profound Heaven Sect at an astonishing price.

However, just as the transaction was about to be completed, a Spirit Transformation cultivator suddenly burst into the venue, causing an uproar.

He wore a black robe, his face shrouded in gloom, his eyes flashing with a chilling light.

"Stop! This high-grade spiritual artifact is the result of many years of work by my Profound Heaven Sect—how could you auction it off so lightly!" he roared.

Everyone's gaze turned to the Spirit Transformation cultivator who had suddenly rushed in.

Immediately, a wave of discussion rose within the venue.

"Is this guy crazy? He completely disregards the auction rules!"

"He actually dares to barge in and demand the high-grade spiritual artifact?"

"Lord Feng Zhuoyu, please handle this matter!"

Feng Zhuoyu furrowed his brows, looking at Lu Yuan and Huang Chen.

He had not anticipated this sudden situation either.

Lu Yuan looked around, then said calmly: "Since there is a dispute, for the sake of fairness, please first show us evidence proving that this high-grade spiritual artifact truly belongs to Profound Heaven Sect."

The Spirit Transformation cultivator, upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, immediately glared at him: "Evidence?"

"Look at the yin energy condensed on this high-grade spiritual artifact—who else from any sect could wield it?"

"This sword is a treasure of my Profound Heaven Sect—how could it be snatched away by petty figures like you?"

Huang Chen coldly eyed the cultivator, then said calmly: "If that's the case, let's follow you outside to settle this."

Everyone tacitly understood what Huang Chen meant.

After all, battling a Spirit Transformation cultivator in such a setting is no easy feat.

The crowd in the venue parted, leaving only Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, Zi Xi'er, and Feng Zhuoyu standing to the side to watch.

They all knew they could not remain uninvolved in this dispute.

The four followed the Spirit Transformation cultivator out of the auction house. On the street, passersby made way, all feeling a sense of awe toward them.

The Spirit Transformation cultivator went straight to an open space, planted himself there, and stood before everyone.

"You little brat! Do you deserve to own this high-grade spiritual artifact?" he angrily demanded of Lu Yuan.

Huang Chen sneered: "Since you're so eager to fight over it, let's see what you're capable of!"

As his words fell, a faint blue ice mist rose from Su Liyan's body, gradually spreading across the open space.

The Spirit Transformation cultivator furrowed his brows, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

The magical implement in his hand flickered with a faint light, ready to respond to any impending danger.

Su Liyan waved her Ice Crystal Long Whip, tracing a beautiful arc in the air.

Immediately, the Cold Jade Ice Shard on her body emitted a dazzling light, raising her power to a new height.

"By my command, become ice!" Su Liyan softly shouted.

Suddenly, a massive ice column rose from the ground, completely encircling the Spirit Transformation cultivator.

The biting cold quickly condensed into dense frost.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel admiration at the sight.

He knew Su Liyan excelled at ice-based immortal arts, but he hadn't expected her strength to be this great.

The Spirit Transformation cultivator was trapped in the ice column, his entire body frozen, unable to move an inch.

He struggled with all his might, but the cold made every movement difficult.

Faced with this, he repeatedly shouted: "I was wrong! Spare me!"

Su Liyan coldly watched him struggle and beg for mercy, a smirk curling her lips: "Since you realize your mistake, then we'll take this high-grade spiritual artifact."

Huang Chen approached the Spirit Transformation cultivator and seized the magical implement from his hand.

He handed it to Lu Yuan.

"Congratulations on obtaining this high-grade spiritual artifact," Huang Chen said with a smile.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his heart filled with excitement and joy.

This Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword will become his sharpest weapon in battle.

Upon hearing this, the Spirit Transformation cultivator quickly indicated he no longer disputed it and publicly swore never to cause trouble again.

After some discussion, the four and the Spirit Transformation cultivator left the open space and returned to the auction house.

The auction concluded smoothly, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Lu Yuan went to the rear processing area of the auction house to prepare for the delivery of the beauty he had previously won.

He was filled with mixed feelings; this auction brought him many unexpected gains.

Returning to the city, Lu Yuan stood at the entrance of Lei Huo Dan Ge and glanced around.

The bustling district of Heavenly Wind City was thronged with people coming and going, extraordinarily lively.

He always had a curiosity, and he developed a strong interest in the identities of those two mysterious cultivators just now.

"Strange, who are they?"

"Why did they come to take my preordered pills?" Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

Just as he was pondering, a clear voice suddenly came from the doorway: "Pavilion Master Lu, may I come in?"

Lu Yuan snapped back to attention and saw a woman in a red long dress, graceful and poised, standing at the door.

Her lovely features and shifting gaze revealed a spirit of liveliness and intelligence.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Please come in; may I ask what brings you here?"

The woman pursed her lips and lightly laughed: "I am Han Han Yue of the Lei Tian Sect; Pavilion Master, please give me a vial of Thunderbolt Clear Qi Pill—this is what my master needs."

Lu Yuan nodded, "Please wait a moment."

He turned and entered the store's back storage area to search.

Lei Huo Dan Ge stores various alchemical ingredients and pills, and has become one of Heavenly Wind City's most famous treasure pavilions.

Lu Yuan had considerable confidence in his alchemical skills, and he prepared to offer a high-quality Thunderbolt Clear Qi Pill.

Inside the storeroom, he quickly found the needed herbs and began personally refining the pill for Han Han Yue.

Lu Yuan handled each step with ease, infusing it with rich spiritual energy. (End of chapter)
