The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

As the bidding progressed, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Representatives of wealthy families and mysterious figures joined the fray, and the price quickly surpassed fifty thousand gold coins.

"Sixty thousand gold coins!" A loud voice sounded, and everyone looked over, only to see an old man in a gorgeous robe with a serious expression, obviously determined to get these pills.

However, before anyone could react, a cold voice came from another corner: "Seventy thousand gold coins."

The bidding entered a fever pitch, with each bid rising like a silent battle. Lan Yunyan's palms were slightly sweaty; she hadn't expected these pills to spark such a fierce competition.

Finally, when the price settled at 100,000 gold coins, the entire audience fell silent. The auctioneer's hammer came down heavily, announcing the ownership of the pills.

Lan Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief, her heart filled with joy. She quietly stood up, ready to leave this noisy place.

However, the moment she turned around, several sharp gazes locked onto her.

She was startled, knowing that her elixir had attracted the attention of some interested people.

She calmly quickened her pace, walked through the bustling crowd, and headed towards the exit of the auction house.

As soon as she left the auction house, Lan Yunyan sensed someone following her. She frowned slightly, quickly thinking of a response.

Turning into a quiet alley, Lan Yunyan stopped and waited quietly for the stalker to appear.

After a while, several figures appeared at the entrance of the alley, led by a man with a gloomy face.

"Sir, please take care. My master is very interested in your elixir and would like to discuss cooperation with you." The man said in a stiff tone.

Lan Yunyan's eyes were cold and her voice was low: "Not interested."

The man's face darkened and he threatened, "You'd better think carefully. The consequences of rejecting my master are not something you can bear."

Lan Yunyan sneered: "I want to see what you can do to me." After that, she flashed and disappeared into the alley like a ghost.

The man and others looked at each other and hurriedly chased after her, but Lan Yunyan had already disappeared.

After escaping the pursuer, Lan Yunyan arrived at a secluded inn. She closed the door, sat at the table, and began to think about her next move.

Although this auction was a success, it also brought her a lot of trouble. She had to leave this place as soon as possible and find a safe place to continue her cultivation.

Lan Yunyan packed her bags and left the inn under the cover of night.

The street was silent, with only the sound of her footsteps echoing softly on the cobblestones. The moonlight was like water, falling on her body, as if she were covered with a layer of silver gauze.

She walked cautiously, constantly alert to her surroundings. She kept calculating her next move. She knew those who coveted her elixir wouldn't give up easily and would surely set up ambushes at every intersection.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and Lan Yunyan keenly sensed a hint of danger. She stopped and glanced around. She saw several dark figures flash across a nearby rooftop.

"It's coming as expected." Lan Yunyan's heart tightened, and she quickly adjusted her state to prepare for the impending danger.

She dodged into a dark alley, and the shadows followed closely behind her, stopping at the alley entrance.

"Come out, don't hide." A cold voice sounded.

Lan Yunyan didn't respond, quietly waiting for her chance. As the shadows drew closer, she suddenly struck out. A flash of sharp light flashed, and the leading shadow instantly fell to the ground. The others, horrified, rushed towards her.

Lan Yunyan was not afraid at all. She used her unique skills and started a fierce battle with the shadows. During the battle, she found that the strength of these shadows should not be underestimated. Each of them had a good cultivation.

But Lan Yunyan gradually gained the upper hand with her wit and bravery.

Those dark shadows were defeated one after another under her fierce attack. They obviously did not expect that this seemingly young figure had such powerful strength.

Lan Yunyan's eyes were icy, and her attacks grew increasingly ferocious. Her form was lightning-fast, darting between the shadows, each strike accurately striking the enemy's vital points. The shadows began to panic, their attacks becoming haphazard and disorganized.

"Retreat!" One of the black shadows shouted, and everyone immediately turned around and tried to escape.

How could Lan Yunyan let them go so easily? She tapped the ground with her toes and chased after them like an arrow.

Before the black shadows could run far, they were caught up by Lan Yunyan one by one and engaged in a fierce battle again.

After a hard fight, all the dark shadows were finally defeated.

Lan Yunyan stood there, breathing heavily, looking at the enemies lying all over the ground, feeling a strong sense of accomplishment in her heart.

However, she also knew that this battle was just the beginning, and those who coveted her elixir would not give up.

Lan Yunyan quickly calmed herself down and set out on her journey again.

She had to find a safe place as soon as possible to continue her training and improve her strength. Along the way, she remained highly alert and kept a close eye on the surroundings.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lan Yunyan arrived at a dense forest.

The trees here are towering and lush, like a natural barrier.

She had a thought that this might be a good hiding place, so she walked into the forest carefully, looking for a suitable place.

Deep in the forest, Lan Yunyan discovered a hidden cave. Dense vegetation covered the cave, making it difficult to detect. After carefully inspecting it and confirming it was safe, she entered the cave and began to arrange defensive measures.

Lan Yunyan set up layers of formations in the cave to ensure her own safety.

Then, she sat down and began to adjust her state, ready to embark on a new round of training.

She knew that only by constantly improving her strength could she survive in this dangerous world.
