Chapter 15: Getting Rich Overnight

As Hua Lian's voice fell, the people in the private room on the second floor breathed heavier, their eyes full of determination.

The people on the first floor gasped. One hundred million purple crystal coins had already eliminated most people.

"One hundred and fifty million!"

For the private room on the second floor, the Xuanyuan family from the imperial capital was the first to bid.

"Two hundred million!"

“Two hundred and fifty million!

Luo Li's eyes sparkled. The people in the imperial capital were really rich. They were bidding over 50 million.

I’m rich, I’m rich!

"Two hundred and sixty million!"

Amidst the chaotic bidding, Luo Li caught a familiar voice.

Luo Tianzong.

Luo Li supported her chin with her brows slightly raised. She wanted to buy the Shenyuan Pill for Luo Shuang'er, but she couldn't afford it even if she sold herself.

After a while, the bidding had reached a price that had never appeared in Luocheng. In just five minutes, the price of a Shenyuan Pill had reached a terrifying 10 billion purple crystal coins.

"So rich." Luo Li murmured. The price of one amethyst coin was enough to buy all the items in the front of the venue.

Luo Xiao and Luo Qingyang laughed when they heard this, "One billion purple crystal coins are nothing. Our Luo family also has a billion in assets."

"The reason these families in the imperial capital offered such low prices is because the news came suddenly. They had no time to verify the truth of the news, nor did they have time to raise funds. They could only send the nearest people to rush over."

"The real auction where money is used to stun people is in the Imperial Capital. Hundreds of billions are just not enough money."

Luo Li's heart was filled with excitement, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Then I must go and see it!"

"Two billion!"

A deep voice came from the private room on the second floor.

Hearing this voice, Luo Xiao's face, which was laughing, changed and he clenched his fists.

Luo Li noticed, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes, "Grandpa?"

Luo Xiao reacted and said to Luo Li, "After the auction, Grandpa has something to tell you."

"Okay." Although she was a little confused, Luo Li didn't ask here.

The owner of this voice is very important to Luo Xiao. This is the message Luo Li read in his eyes.

"Two billion three times!" The hammer fell, "Deal!"

The first Shenyuan Pill was bought by someone in the private room on the second floor.

The next eight Shenyuan Pills were also bought by other people in the private room on the second floor at similar prices. The last one was sold at the highest price of 2.6 billion.

Luo Li didn't show it on her face, but she was secretly happy. The feeling of getting out of poverty and becoming rich all of a sudden was really too charming.

The end of the Shenyuan Pill auction means the auction has come to a successful conclusion.

On the stage, Hua Lianjiao smiled and announced, "Thank you all for participating in today's Fengyun Auction. This auction is now over."

"Next year will be the Imperial Capital Auction's once-in-a-decade auction," Hua Lian said, casting a wink at the audience. "Everyone, see you next year~"

As Hua Lian's voice fell, a red cloth fell from the auction table. After a round of applause, people began to leave one after another, and those in the private room waited for their items in place.

"Grandpa, I'm going out for a while. You and uncle go back to Luo Mansion first. I'll find you in the study later."

After the auction, Luo Li found an excuse to return to Room No. 1 alone.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Luo Li sat on the stool and opened her mouth, "Come in."

As soon as the door opened, Zhao Cang walked in with a smile on his face, "Master."

"I'm here to give you the money from the Shenyuan Pill auction." He handed Luo Li a purple crystal card. "The Shenyuan Pill auctioned for a total of 20 billion purple crystal coins. The auction house took a commission of 1 billion, and placed it on the purple crystal card along with the 5,000 purple crystal coins from the Juling Pill auction."

Luo Li took the purple crystal card and said, "Okay."

After getting the amethyst coins from the auction, Luo Li rushed back to the Luo family.

As soon as he entered Luo Xiao's study, he was sitting at the desk waiting for him.

"I'm back."

Luo Li walked over to sit opposite Luo Xiao, "Yeah."

"Grandpa, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Luo Xiao stared at the table, seemingly struggling. After a moment, he raised his head and said, "Xiao Li, you should remember that our Luo family came to Luo City thirty years ago."

"Remember." Luo Li nodded.

Unlike the current aristocratic families in Luo City, although Luo Xiao is the mayor of Luo City, the Luo family actually moved here thirty years ago.

"Actually..." Luo Xiao took a deep breath, "I am a brother to Luo Xiong, the head of the Luo family, one of the four great spiritual martial families in the imperial capital."

"Wait a minute." Luo Li's mind went blank for a moment when he heard this. "Imperial capital, Luo family?"

The four Lingwu families of the Longyue Empire are the super families of the Longyue Empire. Their financial resources and strength are so great that every family, even the emperor of the empire, has to give them some distance.

Luocheng is just a small border town, and there are even thousands of miles of Wushengte Forest and Broken Soul Mountains between it and the imperial capital. It is impossible to connect the two Luo families together.

"Yes." Luo Xiao sighed, "Something happened between my brother and me, so I brought my son to Luo City."

"For so many years, I have always felt guilty and never mentioned anything about the imperial capital." Luo Xiao said as he took out a jade token from his space ring and handed it to Luo Li.

Luo Li took the jade token, which felt warm to the touch. There were four words engraved on it: Luo Family, Luo Xiao.

"But today I suddenly realized, Xiaoli, if you want to see further, you must return to the Luo family." Luo Xiao looked at Luo Li, "The Luo family has the best resources and can also provide you with the greatest protection until you truly grow up."

"What's more, I still have a share in the Luo family. I can't let that old guy have it all to himself!"

When Luo Xiong was mentioned, there was affection and nostalgia in Luo Xiao's eyes.

There were countless emotions mixed together, but there was no hatred.

Luo Li clenched the jade token in her hand and said softly, "Okay."

She had originally wanted to go out and gain experience, and this trip to the imperial capital might help her grandfather resolve his worries.

Luo Xiao's eyes were filled with tears, and he patted Luo Li's shoulder, "Grandpa is waiting for you at home."

Although Luo Li wanted her grandfather to return to the imperial capital, she knew that he would not go back unless he could resolve his emotional issues, so she did not try to persuade him.

After saying this, Luo Xiao seemed to be relieved and his smiling face returned to normal.

"Tianyuan College will start its entrance exams in half a year." Luo Xiao thought for a few seconds and said, "Xiao Li, you can go and study there."

Luo Li didn't agree immediately, "Okay, I'll go if I'm interested."

She wanted to train in the Wushengte Forest for a while first, and she might not be able to catch up with the Tianyuan College entrance examination.

Luo Xiao knew that she had her own ideas, nodded with a smile, and began to introduce the situation in the imperial capital to Luo Li.

Luo Li remembered them all in her heart.

"Xiao Li, when are you planning to leave?"

Luo Li pondered for a few seconds and said, "Maybe in a few days."

She still has an important thing to do, which will happen in the next few days.

"Oh right." Luo Li thought of something, "Luo Shuang'er..."

Before she finished speaking, Luo Xiao already knew what she was going to ask.

"Are you wondering why my attitude towards Luo Shuang'er is so strange?"

Luo Li nodded. No matter what, Luo Shuang'er was his granddaughter, but even though she beat Luo Shuang'er so badly, Luo Xiao didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations.

Even if you don't love Luo Shuang'er anymore, you shouldn't have this attitude.

It's really a bit strange.
