"Room A-1, bid one hundred fifty million!"

"Room A-2, bid one hundred sixty million!"

"VIP Seat 3, bid two hundred million!"

"..."

The auction was in full swing, with the bids from various big shots becoming increasingly outrageous.

It made people so jealous their eyes turned red.

How could people be so rich?

Countless onlookers, Martial Artists, all showed envious eyes.

For them, the money earned by prospecting in the wilderness was enough to guarantee their cultivation, which was already awesome.

Sometimes they couldn't even afford to focus on their own cultivation, and even making a living was difficult. It was precisely because of this that very few commoner Martial Artists could break through to become Martial Masters.

Those Martial Masters who broke through the shackles as commoners.

All relied on resources obtained through killing and stealing.

Just like the Ghost Face Martial Artists.

But few people were willing to take the risk to snatch others' resources.

Regardless of the changing circumstances.

Lu Xuan wasn't in a hurry to try putting the Nine Tribulations Thunder Bamboo into the Bronze Gourd.

If this thing could be ripened by the Bronze Gourd, the finished product would be a series of lightning tribulations. If the lightning tribulations then covered the entire Satellite City 2, it would truly cause trouble.

Now, what he needed to do was to quietly wait for the 13th auction item to appear.

As long as he obtained the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir, he might be able to reach a higher level.

Of course, During this time, he also didn't forget to auction some miscellaneous cultivation techniques.

The Federation Martial Artist Association could auction cultivation techniques, but these techniques were almost all incomplete, or dug up from some ruins, and no one dared to cultivate them.

The people who finally bought them either went crazy or died practicing.

Then the Federation would take back the cultivation techniques.

If they were lucky enough to succeed in cultivating them, the Federation would then extend an olive branch to these individuals.

In short, it was a guaranteed profit.

Those who bought the cultivation techniques were basically walking test subjects.

But Lu Xuan didn't have this kind of worry; he could use the Bronze Gourd to complete the cultivation techniques.

As for where the cultivation techniques would end up?

Didn't he have a force called the "Great Wilderness Hall" in the wilderness?

It would be perfect for them.

It would also show the legitimacy of the Great Wilderness Hall, lest anyone develop rebellious thoughts.

"The 13th auction item, we will now begin the auction!"

The host shouted, pulling Lu Xuan's thoughts back to reality.

Here it comes!

Lu Xuan sat up straight. Seeing his posture, a few people glanced at him sideways.

"Little Xuan, are you going to bid?"

Scarhead asked.

"Huh?" Lu Xuan, who was only focused on the auction items, was stunned for a moment, then repeatedly nodded: "I'm a little interested, it feels like everyone else is also very interested."

After the 13th auction item came out, he noticed it.

The atmosphere at the scene was particularly subdued.

There were even sounds of sighs.

"I saw this item on the official website a long time ago. It seems to have been passed over in more than a dozen auctions. I didn't expect it to be auctioned again at the Satellite City 2 auction. If it doesn't sell again, it will probably be sold directly on the official website."

"It's not that people don't want it, the key is that it's a dead egg. Not many people are willing to spend money for nothing!"

"A dead egg is one thing, but the most absurd thing is that you dare to set a starting price of ten million. You don't even know what kind of monster egg it is, and you dare to set a starting price of ten million. This is a bit too much, my friend."

"..."

In the private room.

Lu Xuan hadn't activated his psychic power, so he couldn't hear clearly what everyone below was saying.

Scarhead sat next to him, swirling his wine glass, and explained, "This item is very famous. Anyone who has paid attention to auctions in Jinling City basically knows it. Its value does not match its price."

"Because it's a dead egg?"

Lu Xuan leaned back on the sofa.

He clicked open the Martial Artist System and entered the Martial Artist Association's auction house to take a look.

It was written on it that this egg was a dead egg, and its species was unknown.

"No, no!"

Ma Tao sat down beside Lu Xuan, poured him a glass of wine, and provocatively leaned close to Lu Xuan's Martial Artist panel, explaining:

"This egg is said to be left behind by a Martial Dao Grandmaster after killing a Skyfire Chicken in battle. In other words, this is a Beast Lord level monster's egg. Its value goes without saying, but the problem is that this egg is a dead egg..."

"Actually, if it were just a dead egg, no one would care."

"The problem is that there's a membrane in the core of this dead egg that prevents any instrument from detecting it. That Martial Dao Grandmaster felt there was something inside, and insisted on selling it for ten million Federal Coins."

"If it weren't for a Martial Dao Grandmaster putting it up for auction, it would have been withdrawn long ago."

After speaking, Ma Tao downed the red wine in her hand and leaned forward, trying to kiss Lu Xuan.

"Blocks any instrument detection..."

Lu Xuan dodged and quickly activated his psychic power to probe.

The monster egg on the auction stage instantly became visible frame by frame in his vision.

Suddenly, A heartbeat sounded in his psychic sea, and a surge of powerful vitality emerged.

"It still has vitality?!"

Lu Xuan's pupils constricted. "No! This vitality couldn't possibly belong to an unborn monster. Besides, what monster is born at Beast Lord level?"

His psychic power focused.

Even clearer energy fluctuations entered Lu Xuan's consciousness.

A giant fiery bird, covered in flames, with a beak like fire and eyes like embers, whose wing beats conjured an endless sea of fire, appeared before him.

The surrounding temperature became scorching.

The firebird let out a long cry towards the sky, transforming into a blazing sun, converging in the void into a second scorching sun.

Lu Xuan stared intently at it, Almost simultaneously, The firebird seemed to sense his presence, turned its head, and after locking onto Lu Xuan, spread its wings and crashed down like a meteor.

"Damn it!"

Lu Xuan quickly withdrew his psychic power.

The sea of fire around him vanished, and he was still in the private room.

Nothing had changed.

But this power gave him a sense of déjà vu.

"What exactly... Wait, isn't it that big eyeball that appeared in my mind?"

Lu Xuan remembered.

When his mental power reached its limit, he would see a big eyeball.

And now, He had actually seen the figure of the firebird appearing from that egg.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, Lu Xuan understood something, and his breathing began to quicken.

"This Skyfire Bird isn't dead?!"

It was possible.

He could even be 100% sure that this Skyfire Bird wasn't dead at all; it had simply become an egg again for some reason.

"Rebirth from fire?"

With a thought, Lu Xuan subconsciously uttered a word.

Yes, it had to be!

Lu Xuan's breathing quickened, and he gazed at the monster egg with burning eyes.

He had only heard of one creature that could be reborn from fire: the legendary phoenix.

He wasn't sure if the egg had phoenix blood, But its ability to be reborn from fire showed its extraordinary nature.

Without any hesitation, Lu Xuan directly made his bid.

"Ten million!"

The previously noisy auction hall fell silent.

Everyone in the private rooms also looked at Lu Xuan in shock, disbelief evident on their faces.

Are you serious, A-Zhen?

"Xiao Xuan, are you crazy?"

Several people stepped forward, quickly trying to persuade him. "This is a dead egg, it has no value. Quickly retract your bid and say you pressed the wrong button."

Ten million could buy a thousand beautiful women dressed as cosplayers.

And you're buying a dead bird's egg?

Not just them, but everyone in the hall let out a sigh.

"Damn, which young master is so willing to spend money?"

"Ten million could buy a live Skyfire Chicken. Even if this egg were Beast Lord Level, it's not worth this price!"

The crowd murmured.

Lu Xuan, however, turned a deaf ear, clenching his fist and staring at the auctioneer about to bring down the hammer.

"Ten million once!"

"Ten million twice!"

Just as he raised his hand to signal the end of the bidding--

"Twenty million!"

Whoosh!

Another wave of surprise rippled through the hall.

Lu Xuan's expression changed, and his Mental Power probed towards a private room on the third floor.

Several auras emanated from within, their blood energy surging, no weaker than that of a Martial Master.

A powerful expert!

"Damn it, there's a Martial Master expert."

Lu Xuan's face grew solemn. "No, no one could possibly see the potential within this egg. Is this bidder perhaps sent by the seller?"

Thinking this, his expression relaxed slightly. "It seems they just want to make a bit more money!"

"Then I'll satisfy you!"

"Thirty million!"

"Xiao Xuan!"

Scarhead and the others cried out, wanting to rush over and restrain Lu Xuan.

However...

"Forty million!"

The voice from the private room called out again.

Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged. "Fifty million!"

"They've gone mad!"

Scarhead and the others clutched their heads.

Fifty million was enough to buy an Awakened Level Skyfire Bird!

But it wasn't over yet.

The person in the private room continued to shout, "Sixty million!"

Boom--!

The entire venue erupted in an uproar.

Lu Xuan's face turned completely grim.

If it had been once or twice, he might have thought the seller was trying to inflate the price. But continuous bidding like this clearly indicated they were here to cause trouble.

Immediately, He turned to Scarhead and asked, "Uncle, do you know who's in that private room?"

Seeing his persistence, Scarhead gritted his teeth and finally dialed his boss's communication.

Within seconds, Scarhead relayed the information to Lu Xuan.

"The person in that room is the founder of the Monster Potion Company, named Gong Yubai."

The founder of the Monster Potion Company?

No wonder... Lu Xuan understood, sighing inwardly. "The Monster Potion Company specializes in researching these strange Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items. This egg must be very valuable to them..."

"One last call."

He looked up, pondering for a moment.

"I bid one hundred million Federal Coins!"
