Li Luo followed Lv Qing'er through the hall and into a spacious corridor separated by beaded curtains. The two of them walked close together, Li Luo could even smell the faint scent of a young girl's fragrance.

  "Your aura seems to have improved a lot... Have you entered the realm of a divination master?" Li Luo suddenly asked.

  Lü Qing'er nodded lightly and said: "I broke through a few days ago, what about you?"

  "It should still take some time." Li Luo smiled and said. He had entered the Ten Imprint Realm for a period of time now, and was also starting to prepare for the impact of the Xiang Shi Realm.

  "Come on, there's less than half a month left, and the Holy Mystical Academy will be opening soon. The competition at that time is going to be quite fierce." said Lyu Qing'er.

  Li Luo smiled and nodded, just about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head to look at the side of his body, where an eight-year-old boy had somehow appeared, hiding in the shadow of his body.

  The little boy had black eyes and looked exceptionally cute, but his hiding and sneaking around made him appear stealthy.

  "Little brat, go play on your own." Li Luo said with a pout.

  He caught sight of several figures darting through the crowd in the distance, looking around cautiously as if searching for someone.

  "Help me hide."

  Although his voice was soft, it had a commanding tone, and he looked like he came from a wealthy family, perhaps a young master from a noble household.

  But Li Luocai was too lazy to bother with him and waved his sleeve, ready to drive him out.

  "Give you three thousand gold!" The little boy sensed something was wrong and hastily spoke up.

  "Do you think I look like someone who would skip out on a bill?" Li Luo furrowed his brow, feeling somewhat humiliated. Did he think he was the kind of person who would welch on a debt?

  Brats are really annoying.

  Li Luo stretched out his palm and said in a low voice: "Five thousand."

  The little boy heard this and didn't say another word. He quickly took out a 5,000 gold Golden Dragon ticket and handed it to Li Luo.

  Li Luo was also taken aback by the other's straightforwardness, and immediately stuffed the Golden Dragon ticket into his sleeve, saying lightly: "Uprooting the strong and supporting the weak, it is our duty to do so."

  He immediately stretched out his palm and placed it on the little boy's shoulder, releasing a water shadow technique. In an instant, under the light, the little boy's shadow became much lighter.

  The little boy curiously touched his body and felt very interesting.

  But a few figures in the distance, after shuttling back and forth, also gradually went far away.

  Li Luo didn't bother with the kid again and continued to follow Lü Qing'er, who didn't stop her from doing so. The kid was obviously a young master from some wealthy family, and those searching for him were probably his bodyguards; as long as he remained in Golden Dragon Treasure Hall, nothing would go wrong.

  The two turned a corner and finally, under Lü Qing'er's lead, entered a circular auction room where some figures were already seated.

  Li Luo and Lü Qing'er casually found an empty seat and sat down. As soon as they sat down, someone also sat down in the position on their left.

  He took a glance and found it was the little boy from earlier, so he furrowed his brow, speaking somewhat sternly: "What are you following me for? Don't tell me you want to take back the money again? You're just a kid, not very old, but your integrity is already problematic."

  The little boy pouted, just about to speak, when he suddenly coughed and his small face turned somewhat pale.

  This body looks as if it's even more frail than Li Luo's.

  Li Luo felt a bit worried, was this bear child trying to extort him?

  Lü Qing'er smiled and said, "Let him stay here for now."

  Previously, Li Luo had taken in this little boy. Now if he is allowed to run wild, it would be troublesome later on. It's better to leave him here for now and she will notify the people from Golden Dragon Treasure to come and take over, also to investigate whose child this is.

  Li Luo nodded and looked at the little boy's severe coughing, suddenly threw a small crystal bottle over, which contained some of his condensed yuan water.

  "It's bitter but drink it anyway."

  Although I don't know how this bear child became like this, the source water that he condensed with his spiritual power does have some special healing effects. It should be able to make this bear child feel a bit better and prevent him from getting into real trouble later on.

  The bear child caught the crystal bottle, apparently a bit surprised. He looked at the unknown liquid inside the bottle and his eyes were a little strange. This person seemed to be a bit silly, how could he possibly take something given by a stranger?

  But losing it wouldn't be good either, so he casually stuffed it into his bosom and continued to curiously gaze at the auction scene.

  Li Luo saw that this bear child completely rejected his kindness and was also amused. Forget it, whatever you want, he immediately turned his head and no longer paid attention to him.

  While Li Luo was waiting for the auction to start, in another direction on the scene, Dou Zebei and Ning Zhao also found a place to sit down.

  Dou Ze Bei Xuan smiled and looked in Li Luo's direction, saying softly: "What is this young master of the Ministry doing buying wood and earth attribute rare materials?"

  Ning Zhao shook his head and looked at Lü Qing'er sitting with Li Luo, his expression somewhat gloomy.

  However, Dou Ze Bei Xuan didn't mind this either. When Li Luo Gang arrived at Dashacheng earlier, he had planned to find trouble with him, but was stopped by Si Qiu Ying of the Golden Oriole Mansion. Today, it's just right to meet here, and they should have some fun anyway.

  Douze Fu and Luo Lan Fu have a deep grudge, as long as they can make Li Luo uncomfortable, he will be very happy.

  Although it can't cause any harm to Li Luo here, making him feel sick is also a great way to lift one's mood.

  Then, in the slightly expectant mood of Du Ze Bei Xuan, half an hour's waiting time passed, and suddenly the sound of bells and drums rang out in the field.

  The auction has begun.

  Only then did the auctioneer appear on the auction stage, a middle-aged man who gave a routine opening speech to the crowd in the venue before directly announcing the start of the auction.

  The bidding here is not one by one, but directly put up multiple materials and bid simultaneously.

  The scene quickly became lively.

  "No. 1 material, 800-year-old Fire Python Fruit, a rare material of the highest quality, base price is 11,000 gold, someone has bid 12,000!"

  "No. 2 material, Fengling Stone, a rare material of Wan-class, with a base price of 16,000, someone has bid 13,000!"

  "Material No. 3..."

  The auctioneer's generous voice kept rising, and whenever someone in the field raised a sign, he would immediately shout out the price.

  The atmosphere was lively, but Li Luo felt a bit bored because he hadn't seen what he wanted yet.

  In the fiery atmosphere, one by one, the rare and precious items were successfully auctioned off. Li Luo waited for ten minutes before finally seeing what he wanted.

  There are four materials in this round of bidding, with two woods and two earths. The bidding price for each material is around 15,000 gold.

  These four materials are all in large quantities, just meeting Li Luo's requirements.

  "A thousand years of green wood core, a rare material of ten thousand catties, starting price 15,000!"

  "Dragon's earth essence, a rare material of the highest quality, starting price 15,000!"

  “......”

  As soon as the four rare materials appeared, Li Luo didn't hesitate and directly raised the price to 20,000. From his previous observations, he found that the prices of these high-quality rare materials were mostly around 20,000, so he didn't bother to compete with others bit by bit and instead showed his determination to get them at all costs.

  In this way, others who also have intentions for these materials will hesitate.

  As expected by Li Luo, when he raised the four materials to 200,000 each, the others present understood his determination and hesitated for a moment before retreating.

  After all, materials of this level are only worth this price. Raising it too high is obviously not cost-effective. Besides, this isn't some unique item. If it's gone today, it'll appear again tomorrow, so there's no rush.

  "Is there anything higher than twenty thousand?"

  The auctioneer looked around the room and announced loudly.

  "If not, then these four materials..."

  Just as the auctioneer's words had fallen, a paddle was finally raised, and soon a soft laughter slowly rose.

  Twenty-five thousand two hundred.

  Upon hearing this sudden price increase, Li Luo let out a somewhat melancholic sigh. Indeed, the legendary auction scene had been provoked by an unexpected event.
