Long Yu did not know how to refine pills, but luckily Elder Bai was here. He could ask Elder Bai about it after winning the bid for the Sky Heart Dragon Grass.
The moment the Sky Heart Dragon Grass appeared, the crowd became rowdy.
Most of the people here had never seen a Mysterious Rank treasure in their lives. Even if it wasn't a finished pill or a Mysterious Rank Combat Weapon, just a Mysterious Rank herb was enough to make their eyes widen!
"Sky Heart Dragon Grass, the starting bid is five cores, each increment must be at least one core. Let the bidding begin!"
The young lady smiled as she looked at the lively crowd, and announced the start of the auction.
"Five cores!"
"Six cores!"
… …
"Ten cores!"
As the price rose rapidly, Long Yu noticed that the bid came from the VIP room of the Wang Clan, Wang Jue.
"Eleven cores."
Long Yu calmly increased the bid. He did not move just now, because he knew that the final price of the Sky Heart Dragon Grass was definitely more than ten cores.
The Wang Clan's Master was a little surprised, and exclaimed softly, as if he did not expect someone to increase the bid.
The true value of the Sky Heart Dragon Grass was around fifteen Crystal Nuclei. However, this value could only be displayed in the hands of a sufficiently strong Pill Master.
Because of this, although the Sky Heart Dragon Grass was a Mysterious Rank treasure, not many people bid for it.
If the pill refinement failed, such an expensive treasure would be completely wasted!
"Twelve cores."
Wang Jue thought for a moment, and continued to increase the bid.
"Thirteen cores."
Long Yu's lips curled, and he increased the bid without hesitation!
Such a decisive bid caused Wang Jue to hesitate. He did not know who the person in Long Yu's VIP room was. Could it be a powerful alchemist?
Only a confident alchemist would be willing to bid for the Sky Heart Dragon Grass at such a high price.
"I give up."
Wang Jue shook his head. Although the Sky Heart Dragon Grass had not reached its original value, he did not want to increase the bid any further.
Because the risk involved was simply too great!
At the same time, Wang Jue was confused. Didn't someone say that Long Yu and Liu Yuan were seen at the auction? Now that he was here, how could he not be able to find him?
Could it be that Long Yu and Liu Yuan were in the same VIP room as him?
The business world was the territory of the aristocratic Lu Clan. Even a King would not dare to act recklessly, and it was impossible for him to find out who the people in the other VIP rooms were.
Wang Jue didn't wait for the auction to end. He gave up on competing for the Sky Heart Dragon Grass and left the Trading World.
He had to go back to the Wang Family and deploy troops to surround the surroundings of Trading World, not giving Long Yu and Liu Yuan any chance to escape!
In order to find out the whereabouts of Gu Hebo and Wang Yuanchen, Wang Jue could only do this. He had originally thought that he could easily find Long Yu and Liu Yuan. Who would have thought that he would not be able to find them?
After a while, as long as Long Yu was still in Trading World, it would be impossible for him to escape!
Long Yu did not know that Wang Jue had left.
However, he knew in his heart that it was about time to leave.
He brought Liu Yuan with him and left through the back door of the VIP room. They went to the backstage of the auction house and found Lu Fuzhi alone. As for Liu Yuan, she waited outside.
"Senior Lu, I would like to leave first."
Long Yu said to Lu Fuzhi.
"Take this Sky Heart Dragon Grass, there are a total of thirteen Crystal Cores …"
Lu Fuzhi squinted his eyes, looking like a profiteer.
"Here are eight Crystal Cores, and the Star Sea Sword was sold for fifty thousand crystal coins. Of which forty-five thousand crystal coins belong to me, right?"
Long Yu asked with a smile.
"That's right, but I'm still short of five thousand crystal coins."
Lu Fuzhi did not intend to let Long Yu take advantage of him, and he refused to budge.
"This soft armor, Spirit Level Upper Grade, along with these Combat Weapons, is worth five thousand crystal coins?"
Long Yu was calm as he took out the soft armor Combat Weapon he had obtained from Wang Yuanchen, as well as some Spirit Level Middle Grade Combat Weapons from the other Wang Family True Spirit guards.
The value of these Combat Weapons added together was probably more than five thousand crystal coins!
After all, soft armor Combat Weapons, like Longsword Combat Weapons, were extremely popular types of Combat Weapons. Their value was much higher than ordinary Combat Weapons of the same level.
"This is … Wang Yuanchen's Thorny Soft Armor?"
Lu Fuzhi's eyelids twitched when he saw the soft armor.
He recognized it at a glance, and his heart trembled. It seemed that Long Yu had killed Wang Yuanchen, and perhaps even Gu Hebo was not spared.
No wonder the Wang Family Patriarch, Wang Jue, had such a gloomy expression just now!
Of course, Lu Fuzhi would not tell Wang Jue about this. He laughed and said, "That's enough. This is the Sky Heart Dragon Grass, take it."
With that, he took away Wang Yuanchen's Thorny Soft Armor, and handed the exquisite jade box containing the Sky Heart Dragon Grass to Long Yu.
Lu Fuzhi dared to take away this soft armor and Luo Zixing's Spirit Level Supreme Whip because their business was not limited to the Great Tang Empire.
It was not convenient for these items to appear in the Great Tang Empire, but they could be transported outside the Great Tang Empire to exchange for other Combat Weapons of the same level with martial practitioners from other countries or the pugilistic world!
As time went by, the Lu Family was able to earn the difference in price!
With such a huge amount of assets, it was only natural that the Lu Family could become one of the four great families of the Great Tang Empire.
Which of the four great families of the Great Tang Empire was the wealthiest?
The answer was undoubtedly the Lu Family.
Although the other three families also had their own businesses, compared to the Lu Family's Trading World, there was still a huge gap between them.
After obtaining the Sky Heart Dragon Grass, Long Yu bade farewell to Lu Fuzhi and left through the back door of the Trading World with Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan did not ask where Long Yu had gotten so much money to bid for the Sky Heart Dragon Grass. Although she was puzzled, she was not the kind of person who liked to pry into other people's secrets.
"Come with me to the mountain residence?"
Long Yu asked.
"Yes."
Liu Yuan hesitated slightly before nodding in agreement.
It was not that she really wanted to be with Long Yu, but that the Lunar Heaven Stele was still in Long Yu's hands, and she was not at ease leaving alone.
Besides, she was very clear that she and Long Yu were both key figures that the head of the Wang Family, Wang Jue, was looking for. It would not be appropriate for her to return to the Liu Family alone, and she did not want to return to the Qingcheng Pavilion either, so she could only follow Long Yu for the time being.
Not long after the two of them left, Wang Jue came with his men and surrounded the Trading World. He interrogated anyone who came in and out, asking if they had seen the whereabouts of Long Yu and Liu Yuan.
Such behavior, of course, caused some conflict between Wang Jue and Lu Fuzhi. As for this, it had nothing to do with Long Yu!
…
At the mountain residence.
When Long Yu returned with Liu Yuan, he quickly attracted the attention of the many disciples of the Zhentian Clan, especially Liao Lele and Fengyu Xin.
Seeing that Liu Yuan had returned with Long Yu, Liao Lele's eyes quickly revealed hostility!
"Brother Long, this is?"
Fengyu Xin was slightly better. She only felt gratitude and admiration for Long Yu. She did not admire him like Liao Lele.
"Qingcheng Pavilion's core disciple, Liu Yuan."
Long Yu introduced Liu Yuan to the crowd.
"Haha, the Imperial City's talented lady, Liu Yuan. I have long heard of your name!"
Bu Fang laughed heartily. He sized up Liu Yuan and Long Yu and felt that the two of them were quite compatible. If they could get together, it would be a wonderful thing!
"This must be … Senior Brother Bu, right?"
Liu Yuan almost called his name out of habit, but fortunately, she changed it. Otherwise, Bu Fang would have flown into a rage.
It was taboo for Bu Fang to call his name!
"That's right."
Long Yu nodded, letting Liu Yuan know that she had guessed correctly.
"Junior Brother Long Yu, I'm going out tonight. You can have my room."
Bu Fang smiled maliciously.
When Long Yu heard that, he knew that this guy must have guessed wrongly. He probably thought that he had some kind of relationship with Liu Yuan!
"Thank you, Senior Brother Bu."
Long Yu did not reject Bu Fang. Sharing a room with Liu Yuan was better than sharing a room with Bu Fang!
However, this caused the surrounding Heaven Suppressing Sect disciples to have quite a bit of misunderstanding …
"Oh yes, where's Elder Bai?"
Long Yu turned his attention to Fengyu Xin and Liao Lele.
"He's in the room. What's the matter, Brother Long?"
Fengyu Xin's eyes lit up as she answered.
"I obtained an herb, and I'd like Elder Bai to help me refine it into an elixir."
Long Yu said.
"Follow me."
Fengyu Xin nodded, turned around, and brought Long Yu to find Elder Bai.
At first, she thought that Long Yu had obtained an ordinary herb and wanted to refine some ordinary elixir. However, when she and Liao Lele brought Long Yu and Liu Yuan to Elder Bai, she finally found out that Long Yu had obtained a Sky Heart Dragon Herb!
Not only Fengyu Xin and Liao Lele, but even Elder Bai was shocked by Long Yu.
"Little Long, this is a Black-Grade herb. Are you sure you want me to refine it into an elixir?"
Elder Bai was stunned.
Even he had not come into contact with a Black-Grade herb before. As for using the Sky Heart Dragon Herb to refine elixir, he had no confidence at all!
"Of course, other than Elder Bai, I don't know any other alchemists."
Long Yu asked with a smile, "What do you think, Elder Bai? Do you know how to refine a Black-Grade elixir?"
A Black-Grade elixir would definitely allow Long Yu to step into the Fourth Stage of the True Spirit Realm and solidify his true spirit!
"I know how to do it, but I've never tried it before."
Elder Bai thought for a moment and said, "Fortunately, this Sky Heart Dragon Herb has a mild effect, so it's not difficult to refine it."
"So you're saying that it's possible?"
Long Yu revealed a look of joy.
"It's hard to say. After all, I haven't tried it before. Plus, I can't refine a Black-Grade elixir by myself. I'll need the help of the four of you."
Elder Bai looked at the four of them seriously and said, "A Black-Grade elixir requires too much Qi. With my cultivation, I won't be able to handle it. Plus, there are too many details that I can't handle on my own."
In other words, he needed Liao Lele and Fengyu Xin to handle the details, while Long Yu and Liu Yuan would be responsible for providing him with enough Qi!
"Is one night enough?"
Long Yu asked.
"If everything goes well, it should be enough. The key is to prepare some supplementary materials, which are not cheap. Plus, I didn't bring any elixir refining tools with me …"
Elder Bai had a troubled look.
"Is one Crystallized Core enough?"
Long Yu took out the last Crystallized Core and asked.
