After leaving the factory, the two men guarding the gate saw Liu Xiaoyuan come out unharmed and stared at him in bewilderment.
Didn't the boss say he was going to teach this kid a lesson? Why didn't he do it? Did this kid beat up the boss and all his bodyguards?
Thinking this, the two looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with even greater fear.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the two men and wondered if he should just get rid of them, as it would save him a lot of trouble.
But these two guys have nothing to be ashamed of, so wouldn't it be a bit much to just kill them like this?
Don't be soft-hearted; doing so will only bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself!
After all, Wang Renhao's father was Wang Fugui, and if he really retaliated, it would be quite troublesome. Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Liu Xiaoyuan decided to deal with the two of them.
Liu Xiaoyuan killed the two men with a single blow, then set them on fire.
After leaving the factory area, Liu Xiaoyuan hailed a taxi on the roadside and returned to Murong Yuyan's home.
When Murong Yuyan saw Liu Xiaoyuan return, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
Time flies. Early in the morning, Jia Youdao called Liu Xiaoyuan to ask if he was awake yet, as today was the day the auction would begin.
Liu Xiaoyuan certainly remembered. He got up early in the morning and arranged a meeting place with Jia Youdao over the phone.
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan went out without even eating breakfast!
Liu Xiaoyuan met Jia Youdao at the meeting place. Jia Youdao was eating two fried dough sticks and holding a cup of soy milk in his other hand. When he saw Liu Xiaoyuan, he asked, "Have you eaten? If not, go to this breakfast shop and buy some fried dough sticks. They taste pretty good."
As cultivators, even if they don't eat for several days, it won't have any effect on their bodies. But why not eat when there is an opportunity to do so?
After Jia Youdao said that, Liu Xiaoyuan was indeed a little hungry, so he went to the breakfast shop and bought a few fried dough sticks and a cup of soy milk to eat.
After they finished eating, Jia Youdao led Liu Xiaoyuan into the auction house.
The auction was held in the basement, which was quite large and could accommodate nearly a thousand people.
There is an entrance fee to enter the auction venue, meaning that not just anyone can enter.
Moreover, even if ordinary people have spirit stones, they won't let you in, because in the eyes of cultivators, you are not one of them.
The entrance fee was five low-level spirit stones, which wasn't much, but for Liu Xiaoyuan, it was a lot.
Because Liu Xiaoyuan's entire family fortune consisted of only a few dozen low-grade spirit stones.
After paying the entrance fee and entering, Jia Youdao asked with a smile, "Brother Xiao Yuan, how many spirit stones did you bring?"
Such a direct question suggests either that Jia Youdao is after Liu Xiaoyuan's spirit stones, or that Jia Youdao considers Liu Xiaoyuan a true brother.
Liu Xiaoyuan was unsure of Jia Youdao's intentions, because human nature is the most unpredictable thing.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "I didn't bring much, but I estimate it'll be enough to buy some Pure Yang Grass!"
In fact, Liu Xiaoyuan only had a few dozen low-grade spirit stones on him, which probably wouldn't even be enough to buy the worst items at the auction. However, this was a secret that only Liu Xiaoyuan knew and he couldn't tell anyone else.
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Jia Youdao smiled and said, "It seems you brought quite a few spirit stones, Brother Xiaoyuan. The price of this Pure Yang Grass is probably not low, so you should be prepared."
Those who came to participate in this auction were all Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators. Golden Core cultivators would disdain participating in such a low-level auction, because there was nothing they needed there.
Moreover, it would be incredibly shameful for a Golden Core cultivator to participate in an auction alongside Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Although ordinary people are seen as novices by cultivators, Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators are novices in front of Golden Core cultivators.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying about the Golden Core Path in cultivation. That is to say, only after stepping into the Golden Core realm can one be considered to have embarked on the true and broad path, and truly possess the spirited body of a cultivator, able to enjoy the exhilarating feeling of an immortal.
Qi Refining and Foundation Building are like walking on a narrow path, which is not only rugged but also fraught with danger.
Therefore, in the cultivation world, those below the Golden Core realm are all ants. Only by forming a Golden Core and achieving the Golden Core Dao can one roam the world freely, full of vigor and ambition, and command the world...
After Liu Xiaoyuan and Jia Youdao found seats and sat down, they glanced around and saw that there were already more than a hundred cultivators in the arena.
After waiting for about half an hour, the auction finally began. Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the scene and saw that there were less than two hundred people. It seemed that not many cultivators were participating.
Seeing the expression on Liu Xiaoyuan's face, Jia Youdao said in a low voice, "This is, after all, a small auction, and there aren't many items, so there aren't many cultivators participating."
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded. Cultivators all need to cultivate. If a cultivator wanders around aimlessly like him every day without cultivating, his cultivation level will never improve.
There's no way around it, Liu Xiaoyuan is a man with a system, a man who's cheated, not someone ordinary people can compare to.
As the auctioneer took the stage, the auction officially began. The auctioneer first rambled on with some polite remarks, simply welcoming everyone to their auction and expressing their immense honor in having attended.
The first item to be auctioned was a pill called the Foundation Establishment Pill, which could increase the chances of successfully establishing one's foundation.
Many cultivators are stuck at the late Qi Refining stage their entire lives, never able to take another step. But once they have this Foundation Establishment Pill, the situation changes. With this Foundation Establishment Pill, they may be able to enter the Foundation Establishment stage. In this way, not only will their cultivation level increase, but their lifespan will also increase, because Foundation Establishment cultivators have a lifespan of two hundred years.
Therefore, when the auctioneer announced that this was a Foundation Establishment Pill, several late-stage Qi Refining cultivators with white beards and hair had their eyes gleaming with greed.
These cultivators have been stuck in the late Qi Refining stage for decades. If they don't advance to the Foundation Establishment stage soon, they'll really be going to meet the King of Hell.
Therefore, they were determined to obtain this Foundation Establishment Pill; only by obtaining it could they survive.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was completely useless to Liu Xiaoyuan, so he simply held it in front of his chest and watched the spectacle.
What Liu Xiaoyuan had to do was wait for the Pure Yang Grass to appear.
Jia Youdao, standing to the side, seemed to have no interest in the Foundation Establishment Pill either, and watched the spectacle with great interest.
The starting bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill, which was 300 low-grade spirit stones, suddenly soared to 1,000 low-grade spirit stones.
A thousand low-grade spirit stones is a considerable sum for an average Qi Refining cultivator. Take Liu Xiaoyuan, for example; his entire fortune consists of only a few dozen low-grade spirit stones.
