After hearing Zheng Meng's words, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Not only did they not come to work at the store, but they also stopped answering their calls and didn't reply to their messages?
This doesn't seem like Wu Mingxu's personality at all!
Lu Yuan felt something was off.
While pondering, he thought of Xu Lanshan and Wu Qiushan, whom he had encountered when he blocked the beast tide.
Could it be that Wu Qiushan was injured in the battle against the beast tide?
"Try calling him twice more tomorrow and find out what's going on. If he's really held up by something, he should at least ask for leave!"
“Okay!” Zheng Meng nodded seriously. “I’ll try contacting him again when I get back!”
Lu Yuan subconsciously assumed that Wu Mingxu was busy with family matters, so he didn't take the matter to heart.
"By the way! Where's Lao Mu?"
Lu Yuan suddenly realized that not only was Wu Mingxu absent, but he hadn't even seen Mu Ruxing, so he asked another question.
“Brother Mu is still at the auction house,” Zheng Meng explained. “The auction house is located on the outskirts of the city center, so it suffered some damage when the beast tide attacked that day. Because he was worried about delaying the auction, Brother Mu has been busy with the repairs. He wanted to visit you at the hospital today, but he probably didn’t expect you to have already been discharged, so he missed you!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately understood.
No wonder I haven't seen Mu Ruxing these past two days; it turns out there was a problem at the auction house.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan clutched his chest with a pang of heartache.
He was so desperate to stop the beast tide because he was afraid that those reckless monsters would ruin the Divine Beast Pavilion or the Divine Beast Auction House!
Unexpectedly, we were still somewhat affected!
Fortunately, the damage doesn't seem to be too severe; it's at least within an acceptable range.
After chatting with Zheng Meng for a couple more minutes, he turned around and went back to his room.
Zheng Meng runs the Divine Beast Pavilion, and Mu Ruxing controls the Divine Beast Auction House. After waking up from his three-day coma, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be of much use after all!
Sigh!
Having overly capable employees can be a major headache for any boss!
However, Zheng Meng and Mu Ruxing could only keep their business running as usual. When it came to development, they still couldn't do without Lu Yuan's decision-making.
Lu Yuan glanced at the calendar on the table and then entered the Beast Taming Space.
"Eee!"
Xiao Yi was the first to sense Lu Yuan's presence and rushed towards him.
Ling Ye and Chi Lin arrived shortly after, and the three little ones stayed close to Lu Yuan.
"Alright, alright! You three go do what you're supposed to do, stop always circling around me!" Lu Yuan said helplessly.
This beast tide seems to have had a significant impact on the three little ones. Whenever Lu Yuan enters the Beast Taming Space, they inevitably linger around him, unwilling to leave his side for even a moment.
"If you want to protect me, then go and train to become stronger!"
Only by becoming stronger can I protect those I want to protect!
Lu Yuan looked at the three little ones intently, his eyes filled with determination.
Seeing Lu Yuan's gaze, the three little ones gradually became more open-minded.
"We understand!"
Ling Ye nodded to Lu Yuan, preparing to take Xiao Yi and Chi Lin back to intensify their cultivation, but Lu Yuan called them back.
"I will be entering the secret realm in half a month to explore in order to find the phoenix blood to awaken the Crimson Feather. I may encounter extremely strong opponents and challenges then."
"You've found a way to awaken Akabane?!"
Lingye's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
Chilin and Xiaoyi also looked at Lu Yuan with expectant eyes.
"Found it." Lu Yuan nodded with a smile. "However, we can't be sure yet. We'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, you should intensify your training and improve your level and strength as quickly as possible."
"clear!"
The three little ones suddenly seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and they ran away jumping and skipping. Their excitement was so great that anyone who didn't know better would think they were going to play a game!
After watching the three children continue their cultivation, Lu Yuan turned and walked into the Illusion Tower.
The beast tide has ended, and Yandu will inevitably return to normal life, so the auction will be held as usual.
Not only that.
Everyone is still gripped by fear brought about by the beast tide, and they must be yearning to gain immense power.
Selling a large number of cultivation techniques and magical artifacts at this time would definitely attract more attention and increase profits!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't wait to open the Tower of Illusion exchange list and then selected five spiritual weapons and five cultivation techniques.
"Yes! I believe these items will definitely bring me even greater profits!"
Lu Yuan smiled with satisfaction.
After the battle against the beast tide, his resources were completely depleted.
Not only did he have only a dozen or so divine power points left in his system account, but he had also spent all the money in his bank account.
Now he is truly penniless.
With the beast tide just over, business is slow in all the shops. Despite the reputation of the Divine Beast Pavilion, business has been very sluggish in the last two days. Apart from the occasional old customer who comes to buy beast food, there are basically no new customers.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
After being terrified by the beast tide, the rich and cowardly people have all moved away.
Not to mention the Divine Beast Pavilion, even the economy of the entire Yandu has slowed down.
Therefore, Lu Yuan could only pin his hopes of making money on the auction.
"Oh, right! We also need to process the medicine orders for the Spirit Medicine Hall!"
Lu Yuan suddenly slapped his forehead.
Although the beast tide has ended, many wounded people are still not fully recovered, and there is a shortage of medical supplies.
If he could provide more healing potions at this time, he could make an extra profit beyond the order quantity agreed upon with Lingyaotang!
Thinking about all of this, Lu Yuan wasted no more time and rolled up his sleeves to get to work!
...
I don't know how much time has passed.
Lu Yuan raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his head.
"call!"
"Finally, I've managed to turn all the herbs into a potion!"
