Unexpectedly, the Divine Beast Auction House had only held three auctions when it was about to undergo reforms, leaving everyone astonished.

Those who haven't yet won the auction for their desired items are especially frustrated.

They had planned that after holding several more auctions, the Celestial Evolution level cubs would become increasingly worthless, allowing them to happily snag some bargains.

Unexpectedly, the admission to the auction became by invitation only, and even the distinction was based on the transaction amount!

Does that mean those of them who are hoping to find a bargain have no chance at all?

Immediately, someone jumped up to protest.

Lu Yuan didn't even spare a glance, only coldly saying one thing.

"Protest invalid."

"Today's auction has ended. Please take your time. Invitations to the next auction will be sent to eligible guests before it begins."

After saying that.

Lu Yuan casually waved his hand and turned to leave.

After a period of commotion at the auction, the guests left in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff.

Although some people were unwilling, most people were still thinking about whether they could get an invitation, and if not, how to sneak into the next auction.

The quality of the items in the three consecutive auctions speaks for itself: Heavenly Evolution level cubs, cultivation techniques, and spiritual artifacts—any one of them would be a highly sought-after item, and they certainly didn't want to miss out!

Some even set their sights on Xu Lanshan, and even the Zhu siblings.

Xu Lanshan goes without saying; whether based on his status or the billions he spent, he was absolutely qualified to be invited.

As for the Zhu siblings, they have been sitting next to Lu Yuan since the first auction, so their relationship must be quite special!

Most importantly.

Compared to the cunning Xu Lanshan, the Zhu siblings have a lower social status and are easier to connect with.

In a short time.

To everyone else, the siblings were like a walking invitation!

"Let's go, I'll take you backstage to get that box of black fire bombs, and I'll teach you how to use them while I'm at it."

Just as the siblings were feeling uneasy under these gazes, Lu Yuan spoke up in time and led them backstage.

Only after they were seated in a private reception room did the two secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Yuan took the box of black fire bombs from the staff member, casually picked one out, and the siblings' nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. Their cowardly and life-saving appearance made Lu Yuan chuckle.

"Don't be afraid, I'll teach you how to use it."

With Lu Yuan's hands-on instruction, the Zhu siblings quickly learned how to use the black fire bomb.

"So the method of using the Black Fire Bomb is so simple. I originally thought it would be very troublesome!" Zhu Jiaxing fiddled with the Black Fire Bomb in his hand, his eyes shining.

If he could also play with a black fire bomb, wouldn't he be able to walk all over the school like a madman?

Looks like I'll have to figure out a way to secretly hide two when my older sister isn't looking!

However.

Just as he was making plans in his mind, Zhu Jiayi snatched the black fire bomb from his hand.

"Thank you! Now I know how to use this thing, and I'm not scared anymore!"

Zhu Jiayi smiled sweetly at Lu Yuan, her graceful demeanor revealing a touch of girlish playfulness.

"No need to thank me. Feel free to ask me anytime if you have any questions in the future." Lu Yuan smiled at her, then asked, "But what are you going to do with this box of black fire bombs? Did you run into some trouble?"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's question, Zhu Jiayi was slightly taken aback, then smoothed the stray hairs at her temples.

"It's nothing, I just brought it in just in case."

Zhu Jiayi's eyes darted around, looking left and right, but she didn't dare to look at Lu Yuan.

See here.

There was nothing Lu Yuan didn't understand.

Zhu Jiayi must have encountered something, but she doesn't want to tell him.

He was only being lenient with the Zhu siblings because they helped his business, and since they didn't want to say more, he naturally wouldn't press them.

"You can use this box of black fire bombs first. If it's not enough, just let me know. I have some more here, and I'll send someone to deliver them to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiayi's eyes lit up.

"You even have black fire bombs? That's great! I'll transfer the money to you later, so bring me some more!"

Zhu Jiaxing, on the other hand, was completely shocked.

"Sis?! What do you need so many black fire bombs for? Tell me the truth, are you in some kind of trouble?!"

Zhu Jiayi rolled her eyes at him, "Don't ask too many questions if there's nothing wrong. Just focus on your studies. As long as you don't cause trouble, you'll save me a lot of trouble!"

"..."

Zhu Jiaxing pursed his lips and wisely chose to remain silent.

Zhu Jiayi gave a soft hum and turned to look at Lu Yuan with a smile.

"Ah Yuan, we're heading out now! I'll treat you to dinner after I've finished what I'm doing!"

Zhu Jiayi winked at Lu Yuan, then turned and left with Zhu Jiaxing.

With the two leaving, and all the other clients' transactions completed, the large auction hall gradually quieted down.

After there were no more guests, Mu Ruxing came to Lu Yuan's side.

"Young Master Lu, we've already sent people to follow them."

"Be careful not to get caught," Lu Yuan warned.

"Don't worry! This person is a skilled worker I specially recruited; there won't be any problems."

"That's good."

Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then left the auction house as if nothing had happened and took a car back to the Divine Beast Pavilion.

...

"Manager, you're back!"

Although it was already past closing time, Zheng Meng stayed in the store waiting for Lu Yuan to return.

"You've worked hard." Lu Yuan smiled and nodded at her. "Hurry up and pack up and go home to rest. You can come a little later tomorrow."

"It's no trouble at all! I'll come again tomorrow as usual. Do you need me to bring you breakfast?"

"Then let's keep it the same as before."

"Okay~"

Zheng Meng chuckled, picked up her packed backpack, and turned to leave.

After she left, Lu Yuan instructed Mu Ruxing to close the shop, then returned to his room and entered the Beast Taming Space.

After tonight's auction, the funds in his account have surged by more than 5 billion!

During this time, Chi Lin increased his spiritual power considerably by obtaining various demon beast pills from the Scorching Sun Forest, while Xiao Yi also improved by absorbing crystal energy stones, but his level did not increase.

Now, before he runs out of money, he should quickly help them level up.

The newly hatched Akabane also needs to catch up in level as soon as possible.

With that in mind, Lu Yuan converted all his funds into divine power points in one go, leaving only a small amount.

Then, he spent most of his divine power to exchange for twenty low-level crystal energy stones, ten mid-level crystal energy stones, and ten high-level crystal energy stones.

"These should be enough to raise the levels of the three little ones quite a bit, right?"

Looking at his account, which was about to be emptied again, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

His money!

Before I could even enjoy it, it was all gone!
