Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

Just then, Wu Feilong, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Ten thousand!" His shout was like a thunderclap, instantly stunning everyone. Everyone turned to look at him, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion. They secretly wondered who this generous person was, possessing such a huge amount of spirit stones.

For a moment, the room fell silent; no one dared to bid against Wu Feilong. Seeing this, Lu Mengqi smiled slightly and announced loudly, "Sold! Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully bidding on the Seven Star Sword Formation. Please proceed to the backstage to complete the transaction."

Wu Feilong calmly rose and walked steadily towards the backstage area. When he returned to the hall after completing the transaction, he held a beautifully crafted five-tone zither in his hand. He walked up to a woman and said gently, "Shi Niang, this five-tone zither is for you."

Chun Shiniang was taken aback at first, then exclaimed in astonishment, "Ah, this?"

Wu Feilong chuckled softly, placed the five-tone zither in her hands, and said, "Take it. I noticed you were staring at it the whole time, so you must really like it. As for me, this thing isn't of much use."

Then, Wu Feilong turned and walked towards Lu Mengqi, and politely asked, "Miss Lu, do you have a room available for us?" Lu Mengqi nodded slightly and smiled as she replied, "Please follow me." With that, she took a few graceful steps and led Wu Feilong and Lu Mengqi into the inner room.

Upon entering the room, Wu Feilong got straight to the point: "Miss Lu, participating in auctions one after another like this is too tedious. Would you mind bringing me the list of items for this auction so I can take a look? If there are any items that suit my needs, perhaps we can complete all the transactions at once, which would save everyone's time and improve efficiency."

"Please wait a moment, young master."

Lu Mengqi carefully took out a thick auction list from her bosom. The list unfolded to reveal tens of thousands of pages, densely filled with all sorts of dazzling items, making it impossible to look away.

Wu Feilong, his eyes gleaming, quickly scanned the items, soon selecting dozens of things he desired. These included several profound and mysterious martial arts manuals, an ancient-looking alchemy furnace, several pieces of gleaming cold iron, and several bottles of extremely precious beast blood. After making his selections, he looked up at Lu Mengqi and asked, "Miss, how much will these items cost in total?"

Holding an abacus, Lu Mengqi quickly calculated for a while before replying with a smile, "Young master, the items you have selected will cost a total of 100,000 top-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing the price, Wu Feilong nodded without hesitation and replied, "Okay!" He then readily completed the transaction.

Seeing the transaction go so smoothly, Lu Mengqi was secretly delighted. She quickly took out a gleaming golden token from her sleeve. On the front of the token were two large, elegant characters: "Jinghua." Lu Mengqi handed the token to Wu Feilong and said softly, "Young Master, this is the supreme token of our Jinghua Auction House. The holder of this token can enjoy VIP treatment at any auction house. If you have any other needs in the future, you will certainly receive the best service with this token."

Wu Feilong accepted the token with both hands, nodded slightly to express his gratitude, but at the same time solemnly instructed, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady, but please remember, you must not let anyone know my true identity today." After saying that, he turned and left, used his disguise technique to change his appearance in a corner where no one was paying attention, and then swaggered out of the Jinghua Auction House.

Meanwhile, a group of men with ulterior motives had already laid in ambush near the Jinghua Auction House. They craned their necks, widened their eyes, and anxiously awaited the appearance of Wu Feilong and Chun Shiniang. However, as time passed, they still couldn't see the two of them.

At the same time, Qin Liang led his men to Lu Mengyao's residence in a menacing manner. Upon seeing that it was Qin Liang, Lu Mengyao quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said in a sweet voice, "Greetings, Lord Qin."

"Tell me who those two people are today."

"Sir, we keep the identities of our guests confidential."

Do you know the consequences of disobeying orders?

"Lord Qin, I regret that I cannot comply."

"Hmph, you've gone too far! You even dare to go against a servant!" Qin Liang stormed off in a huff.

Before long, several people from the Lu family entered and took Lu Mengqi away.

Just one day later, the detailed information about Wu Feilong and Chun Shiniang's registration at the auction house seemed to have sprouted wings, quickly reaching Qin Liang's desk. Qin Liang eagerly anticipated that he could use this information to follow the clues and uncover some useful leads. However, to his disappointment, despite his painstaking and meticulous investigation, he ultimately found nothing, not even the slightest trace.

This result infuriated Qin Liang, and his anger burned fiercely within him. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed, and he began to suspect that Wu Feilong was the audacious person who dared to steal the precious spirit stones.

Just then, someone nearby chatted, "Have you heard? The Jinghua Auction House is about to hold a grand auction, and it's said that a mid-grade Fire Demon Lizard Beast Core will be on display! The effects of that beast core are truly astonishing; the energy it contains is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul stage expert!"

The other person sighed and said, "Alas, what can we do even if we know? How could insignificant people like us be qualified to participate in an auction of this level!"

The speaker may have just spoken casually, without much thought, but every word reached Wu Feilong's ears. As the saying goes, the speaker may not have meant anything by it, but the listener took it to heart. When Wu Feilong heard the words "intermediate-grade Fire Demon Lizard Beast Pill," his eyes lit up. He remembered that his Phoenix Flame had greatly increased in power after absorbing the Starfire; if he could obtain this Fire Demon Lizard Beast Pill, it would surely be like adding wings to a tiger, taking him to an even higher level.

Having made up his mind, Wu Feilong embarked on his journey to the Jinghua Auction House once again without hesitation. This time, Chun Shiniang did not follow him closely as before, but went to the second floor of the auction house alone.

As Wu Feilong entered the auction hall, he saw a graceful and beautiful woman walking onto the stage. She introduced herself in a clear, crisp voice, "Distinguished guests, hello everyone! I am Lu Keke, the auctioneer for this auction." Seeing that it wasn't Lu Mengqi, whom he had dealt with before, Wu Feilong was slightly taken aback, inwardly surprised. He knew that Lu Mengqi should have made a considerable profit from their last transaction; why was she nowhere to be seen today?
