I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

One million five hundred thousand taels!

They directly increased the price by 300,000 taels.

Several martial arts school owners had already offered to lend him money.

At this point, it's naturally impossible to ask them for help.

After all, this sum of money amounted to a full 300,000 taels.

Don't be fooled by how extravagant these shopkeepers are when placing orders.

That's because the money was originally part of the martial arts school's budget, and it was meant to be spent anyway.

But what they're auctioning off now is their own money.

How could I possibly have that much money?

The previous two hundred thousand taels each person lent to Xu Dingyan was already the limit.

The shopkeepers all breathed a sigh of relief.

With that price increase, Xu Dingyan had no chance of turning things around.

They did them a favor.

No money is required.

For them, this is the most satisfying thing.

Finally, under Xu Dingyan's unwilling gaze, the auctioneer gave the final blow with three gavels.

The deal was completed directly for 1.5 million.

The item finally fell into Lu Xuan's hands.

As for the whole process.

In Lu Xuan's view, it was completely uneventful.

So this is what an auction is all about? As long as you keep adding numbers, the other side will break down on its own.

Of course, this is also due to their substantial financial resources.

That's why we were able to achieve this level of success.

Even Lin Qiao, who was indeed a little nervous at the beginning, became numb later on because she couldn't tell how much of it was. In any case, once the items were photographed, she could consider it as having completed Lu Xuan's task.

"Qiao'er is really amazing."

Lu Xuan chuckled and didn't hold back his praise.

Xu Dingyan in another private room.

At this moment, he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Several martial arts school owners also offered words of comfort.

"It's alright, Young Master Yan. That broken sword is probably from who-knows-how-old. If it were really useful, the Yan family would have already retrieved it."

"That makes sense. If no one has come looking for this thing, it means it's not very important."

"If we really end up sending this thing to the Yan family, we might just be ridiculed."

"Indeed, I don't know where this idiot came from, spending over a million taels of silver to buy some scrap metal."

The three martial arts school owners certainly offered some nice words of comfort.

After hearing this, Xu Dingyan felt much better.

Thinking about it, that makes sense.

I stopped thinking about it immediately.

The anger in my heart had slowly dissipated.

You can do without this, but you still have to go and teach the other party a good lesson.

He wanted to see just who this person was, making him his enemy at every turn!

"Room number fifteen... If I remember correctly, this room should also belong to my Gu Yun Pharmacy."

Just in time, some of the pills sent by Gu Yun Pharmacy will be auctioned next. At this moment, Xu Dingyan also got up, said something to the shopkeepers, and then left.

Head to a private viewing room at his Ancient Cloud Pharmacy.

People in this hall can only watch the auction, not participate in it.

Because the people here are all owners of the goods to be auctioned.

If situations arise where you keep raising the price yourself, it will have a very negative impact on the auction.

Of course, some people will still try to pull some dirty tricks in the dark.

However, Tianyuan Sect is absolutely determined to prevent such things from happening.

Inside the viewing hall of Guyun Pharmacy.

Wang Maocai, Xu Jing, and several other managers of Guyun Pharmacy's branches were all here.

Throughout the entire Jinyuan City, there are more than a dozen Gu Yun Pharmacy shops.

Other managers of pharmacies from other counties also gathered here.

This is quite a grand event for Gu Yun Pharmacy.

Each party also used its own resources to find some auction items and submitted them.

They increase their visibility by broadcasting auction announcements.

With a good reputation, the pharmacy will naturally receive extra points in its internal assessments.

To rise to the top, you must first earn points in this area.

That's why everyone wants to create something good.

"Bang!"

The door to the viewing room was pushed open, and a figure strode in aggressively.

It was Xu Dingyan.

Upon seeing Xu Dingyan enter, many people stood up to greet him and made way for him.

Xu Dingyan stared fiercely at Xu Jing.

I haven't even gotten revenge for that slap yet.

We'll get our revenge sooner or later!

"Young Master Yan has arrived. Please have a seat."

Wang Maocai also got up to greet him.

To be honest, Guyun Pharmacy belongs to the Xu family, and all of them are just working for the Xu family.

"Manager Wang, who is sitting in VIP room number fifteen?"

"If I remember correctly, this private room is a gift from our Guyun Pharmacy to our regular customers. Surely no one would sell it for personal gain?"

Xu Dingyan stared coldly at Wang Maocai.

Xu Jing, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes when she heard Xu Dingyan's words.

Look at all this nonsense you're spouting.

Who among us would even consider someone as worthless as you?

They're just making trouble out of nothing.

In order not to put Wang Maocai in a difficult position, Xu Jing spoke up.

"Deputy Chief Xu, it seems you still haven't learned what Lord Xiao taught you today."

"If you speak recklessly in the capital, perhaps the Xu family can still protect you."

"But if you talk nonsense here, even if your father comes, it will take him several days."

Xu Jing glanced at Xu Dingyan.

Just as Lu Xuan said.

Her goal is no longer limited to being in charge of Jinyuan City.

Rather, it is a much broader goal.

They even want to trample the entire Xu family under their feet!

This is Xu Jing's true goal.

Therefore, Xu Jing showed no politeness whatsoever when facing Xu Dingyan.

When Xu Dingyan heard Xu Jing bring up the very thing she didn't want to talk about, his face immediately flushed with anger.

He gritted his teeth, wishing he could teach Xu Jing a lesson.

But Xu Jing is right, and this woman seems to have taken the wrong medicine lately.

How dare you rebuke him so directly?

Even if he himself couldn't take Wang Maocai's position in charge, he would never let Xu Jing take it.

"I sent that private room out to a major client of my Guyun Pharmacy. Everything went according to the rules. Deputy Manager Xu, are there any other issues?"

Xu Jing said.

"Is it that old man again?"

Xu Dingyan frowned.

"Master Lu is a major client of my Guyun Pharmacy. Xu Dingyan, if you dare to offend this major client, even if you stop working in Jinyuan City and return to your family, you will not have a good life."

Xu Jing's tone was flat.

With Xu Dingyan's strength, it was naturally impossible for him to cause Lu Xuan any harm.

However, Xu Jing still wanted to warn him not to let Xu Dingyan do anything reckless.

"Alright, alright, everything's clear now, there's no need for this."

"Let's continue watching the auction. This time, each of our branches has contributed items for auction."

"Following the usual rules, whichever company submits the item that sells best at auction will be recognized for their performance bonus. I will make a note of this and report it to headquarters."

Wang Maocai then stepped in to smooth things over.

After all, the situation on the ground cannot be allowed to remain deadlocked.

Upon hearing this, Xu Dingyan calmed down.

At the same time, he looked at Xu Jing with an air of certainty of victory.

He then calmly sat down.

"Please, everyone, have a seat."

"I, Xu Dingyan, did not come to Jinyuan City unprepared this time."

"The family said that our Guyun Pharmacy in Jinyuan City has always been suppressed by the Northern Spirit Pill Sect."

"Therefore, a drastic measure is indeed needed to restore the reputation of my Gu Yun Pharmacy!"

"I'm sure you've all done your best."

"Don't let me find out that someone is just slacking off here, bringing out some unwanted stuff to make up the numbers. If that embarrasses my Gu Yun Pharmacy, I, Xu Dingyan, will be the first to not let them get away with it!"

Xu Dingyan glanced meaningfully at Xu Jing.

The meaning of this statement is quite simple.

Nothing you bring out is as good as what Xu Dingyan brings out.

Then Xu Dingyan will have the opportunity to make trouble for you.

Xu Jing shook her head slightly at Xu Dingyan's threat, showing no intention of paying any attention to it.

There's really nothing to say.

Xu Dingyan seemed not to grasp the other meaning, assuming that Xu Jing had backed down.

If he gains power now, he will definitely not let Xu Jing go.

And that Lu Xuan!

The Tianyuan Sect's auction is underway.

On the other side, there is the Qinghe Sword Sect, one of the three major sects.

But then a huge change occurred.

Yuan Xiaolin, the vice sect leader who has just broken through to the fourth rank of cultivation.

He summoned the sect's elders to make an announcement.

It is said that the old sect leader lost his son in his later years and was so grief-stricken that he no longer had any control over the sect's affairs.

He entrusted all sect affairs to Yuan Xiaolin.

Yuan Xiaolin took over the sect's seal and became the sect leader.

The disciples below were all staring at each other in disbelief.

The sect has a new sect leader!

Such a big matter, yet the old sect leader has not shown up.

Even though the sect leader's son is dead, it doesn't mean he has to abdicate immediately.

Even if one were to abdicate, it shouldn't be so quiet and sudden.

The incident happened suddenly, and many people didn't even see the old sect leader.

However, the newly appointed sect leader, Yuan Xiaolin, also had a swift and decisive manner. He dismissed some elders and promoted others. Many people didn't even have time to react before they were removed from their positions.

Whoosh!

Outside the Qinghe Sword Sect in the darkness of night.

A beautiful figure is rushing forward at high speed.

A pair of long, slender legs leaped across the trees, using some leaves to conceal their form.

Although she had tried her best to conceal her aura and walk as quietly as possible, she still left a lot of bloodstains along the way due to her serious injuries.

During the run, the woman's eyes would occasionally glance back with worry.

Suddenly, the woman's gaze sharpened as she saw a figure appear in her line of sight.

The opponent, wielding a long sword, swung it at her.

The next moment, the sky was filled with sword light, like countless cold shadows of snake scales.

He rushed to her side quickly.

"You've managed to escape from my grasp for so long, you're not bad at all."

As the Azure Python Sword Master finished speaking...

That terrifying sword energy struck the fleeing figure.

Bang!

Fallen leaves fluttered and danced wildly in the air.

The Azure Python Sword Master frowned.

"They escaped?"

"It's a pity he was hit by my sword energy. Even if he escapes, he won't live for more than three days."

The Azure Python Sword Master smiled dismissively.
