night.
The mythical beast auction house was brightly lit and bustling with people.
Everyone was excitedly discussing tonight's auction, speculating about what items would be up for auction.
Of course, what they were most looking forward to were the legendary and extremely precious cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts.
Even if you can't get it yourself, it's good to broaden your horizons.
"Boss, you wanted to see me?"
Inside the auction hall.
Yang Meier walked slowly toward Lu Yuan.
Unintentionally, she exuded a captivating charm, causing many passing employees to become infatuated with her.
After this period of training, Yang Meier's level increased rapidly, while the Silver Fox, who insisted on eating its special food every day, also grew in strength at a rapid pace.
The two's charm-based talents complement each other perfectly, and now even Earth Spirit level experts would probably find themselves captivated by Yang Meier.
However.
Lu Yuan, however, remained calm. He turned his head upon hearing the sound and looked at her indifferently.
"There will definitely be many important people attending this auction, so don't be shy. Just act like you normally would."
"Don't worry, boss. What kind of big scene haven't I seen? It's just an auction. I can handle it perfectly and will definitely meet your requirements!"
Yang Meier tossed her hair, her every move exuding confidence and charm.
In an instant.
Another large number of people have become completely captivated.
"Keep it up!"
Lu Yuan nodded lightly.
He could sense the increase in Yang Meier's allure. Now, even without deliberately making seductive gestures, Yang Meier's every move was enough to make ordinary people's hearts flutter.
You could even say that...
Even without the allure of cultivation techniques and magical artifacts, Yang Meier alone, as the host, would be enough to attract a large number of guests.
With Yang Meier's help, the items in the mythical beast auction house were able to fetch higher prices than comparable goods.
The decision to have Yang Meier work as a host to pay off the debt was definitely the right one.
The actual results were even better than he had expected; it was a sure-fire way to make money!
...
As time went on, the auction officially began.
On the high platform.
Yang Meier, dressed in a fiery red evening gown, looked at the audience with a beaming smile.
The noisy venue immediately fell silent.
"Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Mythical Beast Auction House for this auction. I am your host, Yang Meier."
All eyes were fixed on Yang Meier, their gazes becoming infatuated.
This is a natural effect of the charm talent.
"This host's talent is actually a high-level charm talent?! And judging from her influence, her beast-taming talent level must also be quite high! The fact that the Divine Beast Auction House can invite such a person to host the auction suggests that the rumors are somewhat credible."
The audience.
The man sitting in the middle of the second row muttered to himself, unable to resist glancing at the young man sitting in the middle of the first row of VIP seats in front of the aisle.
As the head of one of the top families in Yandu, Wu Qiushan went straight to the first row of seats after entering the venue.
As a result, they were stopped halfway and told that it was a VIP seat that could only be occupied by those invited by the venue owner.
Feeling the mocking glances from those around him, he probably would have stormed off if the staff hadn't promptly led him to the middle of the second row, giving him a way out!
But the narrow passageway, barely two meters wide, seemed like a dividing line between different social classes, still subtly provoking him.
"Hmph! After this auction, I'm definitely going to sit in the front row!"
Just as Wu Qiushan set his goal, the first item was brought up for auction.
"Now, we will proceed with the first item of this auction: a pet cub with a potential level of Heavenly Evolution Stage 2 and a bloodline level of Heavenly Evolution Stage 5—the Red-Covered Bee!"
"The starting bid is 50 million Blue Star Coins, and each bid must be at least one million higher!"
As soon as Yang Meier finished speaking, the quiet venue erupted in cheers.
"Fifty million!"
"Fifty-one million!"
"..."
While the rarity of a Celestial-level pet cub may not match that of cultivation techniques or spiritual artifacts, it is still an item that ordinary people would fight over.
After only a few rounds of bidding, the price of the Red Bee reached 200 million.
Just as Yang Meier was about to finalize the deal, a strong voice came from the entrance.
Three hundred million!
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned.
Who is it?
They actually raised the price by a full 100 million right off the bat?
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a dignified man slowly walking into the venue, with Xu Yunfan quietly following beside him, a polite and reserved smile on his lips.
The two walked directly to the front row and stood in front of Lu Yuan.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, we've been delayed. We're late," Xu Yunfan said apologetically to Lu Yuan.
"It's alright, I'm already very honored that you two have come. Please have a seat!" Lu Yuan smiled slightly and pointed to the empty seat that had been reserved for him.
After taking their seats, Xu Yunfan introduced Lu Yuan: "Mr. Lu, this is my father, Xu Lanshan."
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, greeting him respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Xu, I've long admired your name."
Zhu Jiayi had given him a brief introduction to the Xu family before, and he had also done some research on it. So when Xu Lanshan appeared, he recognized him at a glance as the man known as the strongest in Yandu.
"I heard Yunfan speak highly of Mr. Lu the other day, and seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed a young hero!" Xu Lanshan said with a smile, feeling very satisfied with Lu Yuan's humble and polite attitude.
"Not at all, you flatter me."
Lu Yuan smiled slightly, maintaining his humility to the very end.
While the two were talking, Yang Meier on stage finally recovered from her shock and announced that the Red Bee had been auctioned off to Xu Lanshan for 300 million.
"Thank you for your patronage, Mr. Xu."
Lu Yuan smiled faintly at Xu Lanshan.
At the last auction, Xu Yunfan had already contracted a beast, so Xu Lanshan would definitely not have bid for the Red Bee for his own son.
If he guessed correctly, this move was Xu Lanshan's way of testing him.
Sure enough, Xu Lanshan spoke up immediately afterward.
"I heard that all the pet cubs at the auction were personally bred by Mr. Lu?" Xu Lanshan asked with a smile, his eyes gleaming with a hidden sharpness.
“That’s right, so if you have any questions about breeding Red-covered Bees, Mr. Xu, you can ask me.” Lu Yuan replied with a smile, emphasizing the words “Red-covered Bees.”
Xu Lanshan narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly unaware of what was happening, and continued to press for answers.
"What level is the strongest cub that Mr. Lu has raised?"
"I've bred so many cubs, I haven't really noticed!"
"Are there any cultivation techniques or spiritual artifacts up for auction this time?"
"Mr. Xu can look forward to it!"
"Where did these cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts come from? Would Mr. Lu be so kind as to reveal a little about them?"
"inconvenient."
"..."
In their back-and-forth questioning, Xu Lanshan pressed on like a powerful lion, while Lu Yuan feigned ignorance like a cunning fox.
After asking around for ages, I still couldn't get any useful information out of him!
Facing Xu Lanshan's probing gaze, Lu Yuan remained calm, as if he hadn't noticed anything at all.
Suddenly.
Xu Lanshan laughed happily.
"Good, good! You're really something, kid!"
"Mr. Xu, you flatter me."
Lu Yuan smiled, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed Xu Lanshan's test.
