Time always flies when you're practicing.

"call!"

Lu Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, only to realize that it was already the next morning.

Feeling the spiritual energy within his body, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look worried.

"well!"

"I trained all night, but only leveled up twice. How am I supposed to catch up at this snail's pace?!"

Lu Yuan sighed and shook his head.

He was clearly very dissatisfied with his cultivation speed.

If other people saw this, they would definitely exclaim that it was outrageous!

Others might diligently cultivate for half a year and still not be able to raise their Beastmaster level by even one level, but Lu Yuan raised his level twice in one night and still felt it wasn't enough, complaining that his speed was too slow?!

Isn't this just a pure Versailles?!

But Lu Yuan didn't think so.

He possesses an SSS-level Beast Taming talent, making his cultivation speed much faster than others. In addition, he has the energy stones he redeemed from the shop and the system's support.

His cultivation speed is much faster than others.

For example.

It's like the difference between a bicycle and a car.

Despite this, he dared not slack off in the slightest and diligently cultivated every day.

There is no other reason.

It's just because his own son is leveling up too fast. If he doesn't work harder, he'll be left behind in no time.

After tidying up briefly, Lu Yuan finally walked out of the training room and ran into Chu Xing, who was carrying freshly picked herbs back home.

"Good morning, Master!"

Lu Yuan nodded and glanced at the herbs in his arms.

"After you've finished collecting these herbs, take them to the training room."

He had agreed with Wei Zheng to send fifty bottles of low-grade body-tempering potions to the Spirit Medicine Hall every week. The time was almost up, and he would start refining the herbs after this batch was collected.

"Yes, Master!"

Chu Xing responded and turned to fiddle with the herbs.

As Lu Yuan watched his retreating figure, a sense of relief suddenly welled up from the bottom of his heart.

"Since he started working with herbs, Chu Xing's behavior has become much more normal. We really can't let him have any free time; work is the only way for him to succeed!"

Upon arriving at the training ground, Lu Yuan immediately spotted Xiao Yi and Chi Lin battling it out.

Despite Xiao Yi's higher level than Chi Lin, she can only defend with all her might against Chi Lin's offensive.

But the same applies.

Red Phosphorus's attacks could not break through Xiao Yi's defense. Whenever Red Phosphorus's attacks were effective, Xiao Yi would release a skill, and the wounds would instantly heal completely.

The two little ones fought back and forth, having a great time.

Lu Yuan did not go forward to disturb them, but circled around to where Chi Yu was resting.

Just as he had expected, Akabane fell into a deep sleep after consuming the fire-type elixir.

"I wonder what surprise Akabane will bring me when he wakes up?"

After settling Chi Yu in, Lu Yuan turned and left the Beast Taming Space.

At this time, the Divine Beast Pavilion had already opened for business, and Zheng Meng and Wu Mingxu had both begun to receive guests.

"Good morning, store manager!"

Zheng Meng was the first to notice Lu Yuan, and waved to him with a smile.

"It's getting late, it's almost noon!"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, gesturing for her to continue working.

After looking around the shop, Lu Yuan suddenly asked, "Have you two seen Mu Ruxing?"

Wu Mingxu pondered for a moment, then replied, "It seems Brother Mu went to the auction house."

"knew."

Lu Yuan nodded and followed him out the door.

Arriving at the Divine Beast Auction House by car, Lu Yuan saw the construction team bustling about at the entrance before he even entered.

I heard that the craftsmen there are very famous in Yandu. They only take on high-end renovations, and usually only top companies and families can afford to hire them.

Of course, the price is also very high.

When he took out his money, Lu Yuan felt as if his heart was bleeding.

However, its work efficiency is indeed undeniable.

Most importantly.

Exquisite workmanship and superb craftsmanship.

Even Lu Yuan couldn't help but be impressed after seeing the concept design.

After greeting the construction workers, Lu Yuan entered the auction house and found Mu Ruxing, who was supervising the construction.

"Young Master Lu? Why did you come here in person?"

Lu Yuan waved his hand at him, "I came to check on the progress of the construction so I can make arrangements for the auction later."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ruxing replied, "Now, only the layout of the first-floor partitions and decorations are left to be done. I estimate that it will take about five more days to complete the entire renovation."

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

As expected of the construction team introduced by Wei Zheng, their efficiency was much faster than he had imagined.

I thought the renovation project would take a month, but it looks like it will only take half a month to complete.

"At this time, the auction can be held just in time for next Sunday," Lu Yuan said thoughtfully.

"Young Master Lu..."

Mu Ruxing suddenly frowned, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"What's wrong? Just say it," Lu Yuan said.

"I was just thinking, the reputation of the Divine Beast Auction House is already well-established, why should we delay the auction and spend a lot of money to renovate the auction house? Moreover, we've raised the entry requirements for the auction house, so won't that reduce the number of customers?"

Mu Ruxing poured out all her doubts at once.

He had been thinking about these issues throughout this period.

It was Lu Yuan who put in a lot of effort and used precious cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts to make the Divine Beast Auction House famous. Now is the time to continue to expand its influence. Why did he suddenly decide to renovate and raise the entry threshold?

Wouldn't doing this reduce customer traffic and revenue?

However.

Faced with Mu Ruxing's doubts, Lu Yuan smiled calmly.

"Now that the reputation of the Divine Beast Auction House has been established, there is no need to focus on attracting customers anymore. Improving the quality of customers is the most important thing."

The reason he spent so much time and money renovating the auction house was to upgrade its clientele to a higher-end level.

After all, the prices of items at auctions are not something that ordinary people can afford.

Instead of casting a wide net, it's better to focus on improving quality.

and.

High-end clients also have a wider influence.

Only when the Divine Beast Auction House truly establishes itself in the high-end market will its reputation truly take off.

His goal was never this small capital city of Yan.

He was gazing upon the entire continent of Ling'an!

One day, he will turn the Divine Beast Auction House into the number one auction house on the Ling'an Continent!

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Mu Ruxing was completely shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.

After a long while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It seems I was short-sighted."

He originally thought Lu Yuan just wanted to make money, but he never expected that Lu Yuan had such lofty ambitions!

Lu Yuan patted Mu Ruxing on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Keep up the good work! We'll achieve our goal soon!"

...

With the renovation of the mythical beast auction house progressing smoothly, Lu Yuan began to draft a list of participants for the auction.

Taking advantage of this renovation opportunity, he plans to improve the rules and regulations of the auction house and make the auctions more formal.

In addition to the most basic client list, a list of auction items must also be prepared in advance.

When enough attractive treasures appear, the auction catalog is the best advertisement.

"Since we've decided to go for the high-end market, should we add the mutated cubs to the auction items?"
