"Then please follow me." With that, she walked upstairs.
"See? I told you it was nothing." Lu Yi said with a smile to Xinlan beside him, then pulled her along and followed.
.
They soon arrived at the door of a room with a sign above it that read "Room 301".
At this moment, the maid took out a key, opened the door, and led Lu Yi and Xinlan inside. The facilities inside were very simple, but...
It was very simple, with only a table and a few chairs inside. Some tea and snacks were laid out on the table.
The advantage of a private room is that you can see both the outside and the venue, which is the best of both worlds.
"Sir, this is your reserved VIP room 301," the maid said as you entered.
"Hmm, not bad. Here's your tip. You can go out now." Lu Yi led Xinlan into the private room.
Yi was very satisfied with the private room, so he took out some money and gave it to the maid.
"Yes, sir, have a good time." The maid happily accepted the money and then left the room.
"Come, Xinlan, let's sit down and wait for the show to begin." Lu Yi pulled her along after the maid had disappeared.
Xinlan sat down at the table.
"So, you'd already made all the arrangements. Honestly, I thought I'd be standing." Xinlan said after settling down.
She complained to Lu Yi.
"How could that be? You're my precious baby! I'd rather stand than let you stand, I'd rather go hungry than let you go hungry."
"Are you hungry?" Lu Yi said to Xinlan with deep affection.
"You really know how to make people happy," Xinlan said, blushing as she heard Lu Yi's profound words.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first time our Longyun Auction House is holding such a large-scale auction in Phoenix Town..."
[Millions of words omitted], Alright, that's all for now. The auction officially begins. Just then, Lu...
Just as Yi was about to say something, these words came from downstairs.
"It's finally starting." Lu Yi looked down at the middle-aged man standing on the platform below, giving a speech with spittle flying everywhere.
I thought of it at the time.
"Now, please bring out our first item." As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a maid came up from backstage, carrying...
She brought a plate covered with a cloth to the middle-aged man.
"The first item is a sword named Qingxin. Legend has it that this sword was crafted by a famous swordsmith 100 years ago."
The Strategy of Shideli took 50 years to forge, using materials derived from ancient black iron from the deep sea and the now-famous...
The Pure Heart Spring, and other things—I won't go into detail, those are things only those who obtain this sword can experience slowly.
"Yes, the auction will begin now. The starting bid is 100 million. Let's begin." The middle-aged man explained the origin of the sword.
Then they announced the start of filming.
"110."
"120."
"130."
. . . . . . . . . .
"200."
"300."
. . . . . . . . . .
Starting from 10 and increasing to 100 million now, and increasing by 100 million at a time, these people are really crazy.
"Tch... This kind of trash sword isn't even worth their effort. What a bunch of idiots." (Sitting by the window)
Lu Yi glanced disdainfully at the people still frantically raising prices, thinking to himself... Lu Yi didn't even consider that he...
Who am I? And who are those people below me? With Lu Yi's strength, even if he casually forged a weapon...
To say they are a thousand times better than Qingxin is an understatement; those people below are just ordinary folks who have never seen the world.
Can they compare to Lu Yi?
The sword was quickly sold for 1300 million, and Lu Yi showed no interest in the remaining purchases.
Yes, they were all junk items, but during this process, Lu Yi bought Xinlan a pair of earrings, and that's it.
Lu Yi spent nearly ten million on the earrings alone. He wouldn't care about such material possessions, but Xinlan was different.
She said a few words to Lu Yi, but he brushed them off and continued chatting with Xinlan.
Just killing time...
"Next up is the big show of securing the rent, and the last item." It's unclear how much time passed; it was almost dawn.
As dusk fell, Lu Yi, who had been feeling listless, perked up upon hearing these words and looked down at the high platform below.
"It's a bit untrue to say it's an item. You'll see why when you see it. So, please welcome the last..."
"The items are brought out." Not long after the middle-aged man finished speaking, two maids brought out a completely naked...
A girl with her eyes covered slowly walked out from backstage.
"What a strange girl. She possesses such immense power. But, since she has power, why..."
"Why were you captured and brought here as a slave?" Lu Yi suddenly stood up from his seat upon seeing the girl, his eyes wide.
He stared straight at the stage, lost in thought.
[Uh... I actually got so engrossed in watching Qin's Moon that I completely forgot about the update... Damn it, that...]
There were a few people there who really annoyed me. They kept complaining. Ugh...

Chapter Thirteen: The Rinnegan Appears
"Wow..." Everyone froze when they saw the woman, and soon erupted in a clamor. This was the first time they had ever seen Longyun Auction House auctioning slaves, especially a girl, so their reactions were understandable.
"This power doesn't belong to martial artists at all, it seems to not belong to this world at all. What kind of power is this?" Among the crowd, only Lu Yi looked at the girl with great confusion and thought to himself. The power that Lu Yi felt was something that ordinary people couldn't sense, and even the strongest martial artist in this world might not be able to sense it, because this power was just too special.
"Yi...please save her, she's so pitiful," Xinlan pleaded with Lu Yi as she saw the girl in the audience.
"Okay." Lu Yi nodded without saying anything.
"Alright, everyone, quiet down. This is the last item to be auctioned today. This is also the first time our auction house has ever auctioned a slave. This woman was originally a princess of a small country. She offended a powerful figure and her country was destroyed overnight. Only this princess survived. After we found her, we brought her here for training. We don't usually sell slaves, but this woman is too special, so we made an exception. Now, I'm sure you're all very curious. This woman is no different from other women, except for her figure and face. I can tell you, her special feature is not her body or appearance, but... her eyes." Lu Yi had just finished speaking when the middle-aged man began to introduce her. He paused at the end, then walked up to the woman, removed her blindfold, and loudly announced...
Everyone, including Lu Yi, stared in shock at those eyes. What kind of eyes were they? The strange patterns within them resembled the rings of a tree, rippling with mysterious energy! Though the eyes were strange, they couldn't hide the emptiness and despair emanating from them.
“These eyes are—the Rinnegan.” Lu Yi murmured after seeing those eyes.
"Her eyes possess a very peculiar ability—they can bewitch anyone and turn them into her slave..." the middle-aged man explained. The crowd was shocked once more, their eyes burning as they looked at the woman on the stage, thinking: They must have her.
"This must be one of the abilities of the Rinnegan—genjutsu. The girl doesn't have the power to control these eyes, which means the eyes activated the genjutsu on their own. So why are these eyes on an ordinary person? Never mind if I can't figure it out. Anyway, I'm going to have this girl." Lu Yi thought with great doubt.
"Alright, that's how it is. The auction will now begin. The starting price is 1000 million, and the minimum bid is 500 million. Let's begin."
"1500"
"2000"
"3000"
. . . . . . .
"1 million."
"2 million."
. . . . . .
"5 million."
"5 million, is there anyone who bids higher than that? Is there anyone who bids higher? 5 million once, 5 million twice, I'll ask again, is there anyone who bids higher than that?" the middle-aged man shouted after someone bid 5 million.
"Yi..." Xinlan said anxiously to Lu Yi as she saw the bids below getting higher and higher.
"10 billion." Just when the middle-aged man thought no one was bidding, Lu Yi announced a shocking price. This price stunned everyone present, even the middle-aged man was taken aback and looked up at Lu Yi on the second floor.
"Who do you think you are, daring to talk to the old man like that..." At this moment, the person who had offered 5 million woke up and raised his head to curse at Lu Yi on the second floor. However, before he could finish cursing, everyone saw that the person flew up and crashed into the wall, passing out.
"Go and find out who's in the room next door." A handsome young man in the room next to Lu Yi said to the void.
"Yes." As soon as the young man finished speaking, a strange voice appeared in the void and then disappeared.
He wasn't the only one with this idea. Everyone with any standing here sent people to investigate Lu Yi's identity. During this time, things were quite turbulent. Lu Yi was unaware of all this, and even if he had, given his personality, he wouldn't have cared.
"I want this girl. If you don't want to end up like that person, then make your bids." Lu Yi said domineeringly to the crowd below.
Those below fell silent upon hearing Lu Yi's words; this world was one where the strong were respected.
"Alright, since no one else is bidding, then this girl is mine. Hey, old man, give me your bid." After waiting a while to make sure there were no more bids, Lu Yi said to the middle-aged man.
"Oh. Okay, okay, 10 billion once, 10 billion twice, 10 billion three times. Congratulations, sir, she's yours." The middle-aged man finally came to his senses after hearing Lu Yi's words.
"Damn it, I just had a ring, and now even the Rinnegan has appeared. I never thought my luck would be this good," Lu Yi thought helplessly.
The auction finally ended, and Lu Yi and Xinlan returned to the temple with the girl who had the Rinnegan. However, Lu Yi was unaware that he was also being watched by a group of people with ulterior motives. It seems that Lu Yi will not have peace in the future.

Chapter Fourteen: The Star Ring
After Lu Yi and Xinlan brought the girl with the Rinnegan back to the temple, Lu Yi asked Xinlan to make arrangements for her and then went straight to his room.
At this moment, Lu Yi was examining the ring he had just received from that uncle. Although the ring was so ancient that its original appearance was no longer discernible, Lu Yi's eyes still revealed the patterns and words engraved on it. It was engraved with mysterious and intricate star patterns, and in the middle of the stars was a dragon. He didn't know who had engraved these patterns, but they were so lifelike that the dragon seemed to come alive as it floated among the endless stars.
"This is..." When Lu Yi saw the dragon and the characters on the ring clearly, he was stunned. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the dragon itself, but rather its appearance: camel's head, snake's neck, deer antlers, tortoise eyes, fish scales, tiger's paws, eagle's claws, and ox's ears. This was exactly the mythical dragon from the Chinese mythology of Lu Yi's world! But that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was those two characters, written in small seal script. If such a dragon existed in this world, then these two characters simply didn't exist here. That could only mean that this ring wasn't from this world.
"But how do I open this ring?" Excited as he was, Lu Yi now faced the challenge of opening the ring. However, he quickly came up with a solution: blood oath. In his original world before his transmigration, Lu Yi enjoyed watching anime and reading novels, especially fantasy novels, which were his favorites. These novels mentioned that a spiritual object could only be truly possessed through a special medium. Although he didn't know if this ring was like those described in the novels, Lu Yi was determined to try. This might be his only clue to finding his way home, so how could he give up?
