After letting Wang Zhong and the others go back first, Mu San took out a card and handed it to Gu Yuan, saying, "Brother Mu, I haven't seen you for a while. The last batch of pills has been sold out. This is the money from the sales, all in this."

Gu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Please take this money. I don't need it."

"ah!"

Xiao Xueyan exclaimed, took the card, looked at Mu San expectantly, and asked, "Is there a lot of money in it?"

Looking at the little eagle on Xiao Xueyan's shoulder, Mu San felt a little panicked. The existence that made the powerful spiritual masters dare not resist just by flapping its wings in the Xiao family hall, was actually staying so quietly on her shoulder, which showed that its identity was definitely an extremely terrifying existence.

He bent down with some trepidation and said, "Yes, this is the money from the sale of the elixir that Brother Mu gave me last time. There are almost 600,000 gold coins in it. It's all here."

"Wow! Six hundred thousand!"

Xiao Xueyan's eyes sparkled as she counted on her fingers, a look of joy gradually appearing on her face.

"It's all going to be given to you anyway. If you don't want it, I will! You said you would pay me before, so the extra money can be considered as the cost for me to make moves in the future!"

Xiao Xueyan poked Gu Yuan and said.

Gu Yuan touched Xiao Xueyan's head helplessly and said to Mu San: "Her name is Xiao Xueyan, just treat her as my sister."

Mu San nodded, "Hello, Miss Xiao."

"Well, hello. But who said I was your sister?"

Xiao Xueyan looked at Gu Yuan angrily.

"Okay, let's go quickly. We have things to do at the Tianxuan Auction House!" Gu Yuan said helplessly while pulling Xiao Xueyan.

In the Tianxuan Auction House, the sweet voice of the auctioneer on the stage resounded throughout the auction hall.

Lie Yuer seemed to like the color red very much. Every time Gu Yuan came, he saw her wearing a bright red dress, like a burning flame.

After finding a private room in the Tianzi box, Gu Yuan lazily lay on the sofa. Although he was not very rich now, he still had at least 20 million gold coins in his hands, so he spent it without hesitation.

"Oh, it's nice to have money."

Xiao Xueyan also followed Gu Yuan's example and lay on the soft sofa. She couldn't help but say, "You humans really know how to enjoy yourself!"

"I'm saying, you're not really a monster in disguise, are you? You keep yelling like a human."

Gu Yuan glanced at Xiao Xueyan and asked.

Without getting a response from Xiao Xueyan, Gu Yuan turned around helplessly, then looked at Mu San and said, "Sit down!"

"Do you know why I want the Xiao family's shop?"

"Brother Gu, do you want to sell pills in a store like the Xiao family?"

"That's right! It's impossible to sell pills by yourself. After what happened with the Xiao family, I'm sure you can feel how helpless it is to be alone."

"Yes, except for those at the peak, personal abilities are indeed limited." Mu San agreed.

"So I took over the Xiao family's medicine shop this time because I wanted to control it in my own hands. Normally it is just a medicine shop, but when necessary, it can be transformed into a force. What do you think of this idea?" Gu Yuan said lightly.

Mu San's face was solemn as he hurriedly stood up. "Brother Gu, do you mean... to establish a sect?"

"No, no, no! I don't want to get involved in these things. I'm just a businessman. I just want to make more money and be able to protect myself when danger comes. That's all."

Shrugging his shoulders, Gu Yuan said.

Mu San gave a bitter laugh and said, "How can it be that easy? Forget about anything else, let's just talk about the Xiao family's shop. They've controlled it for years, even decades. The people inside are no different from the Xiao family. How can we ask them to help us with things?"

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "I know. I didn't intend to keep them in the first place. I didn't let Xiao Wanlin evacuate them directly because I was afraid of leaving a mess behind and people targeting the empty store. I just want some buffer time. After that, they will have to leave."

"Oh? Brother Gu, do you have any solution?" Mu San asked.

"Of course there is a way, but before that I want to ask you a question."

"Brother Gu, please ask."

"If I ask you to stay and help me, would you be willing?" Gu Yuan asked seriously.

Mu San was startled, "Brother Gu, are you referring to..."

"That's right! These are the shops that we snatched from the Xiao family. I don't have enough time to take care of them, so I want you to be the person in charge. What do you think?" Gu Yuan said directly.

"But what virtue do I have?"

Mu San smiled bitterly. The profit from the pills was simply terrifying. Being a responsible person was definitely a level higher than being a mercenary. At least he didn't have to worry about his job. However...

"I know what Brother Mu is worried about. I already have a plan for this."

Gu Yuan called the maid over and said, "Go call Lie Yu'er and tell her I'm looking for her."

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, if you need anything, please tell me. Miss Yu'er is the chief auctioneer of our Tianxuan Auction House. She is of noble status and not everyone can see her."

The maid's meaning was very clear. He was not qualified to see Lie Yuer casually.

Feeling the strange looks from Mu San and Xiao Xueyan, Gu Yuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Just tell her that Yuan Hao is looking for her, and she will come naturally."

Seeing that Gu Yuan insisted on seeing Lie Yuer, the maid hesitated again and then walked out of the box.

"Brother Gu, do you know Lie Yu'er?"

Mu San asked in surprise. He knew Lie Yuer's fame. She was the goddess of countless mercenaries, including himself. He had once had a little fantasy about her.

"Hehe, you'll know later."

On the auction table, Lie Yuer, with a sweet smile, put down the wooden hammer in her hand and announced the ownership of the fourth set of Fire Qi Pills in this auction.
