The scale of "The King of Auctions" is not large, and it's quite easy to produce.
Lu Ze didn't rush to start but went with Zhong Yi to the warehouse of Feiyun Commercial Firm to learn about the detailed situation.
There were hundreds of cultivators walking together, and each of them was eyeing the top - ranked qualification covetously.
Although Qian Wancai was an ordinary person, Feiyun Commercial Firm was by no means ordinary.
The warehouses spread throughout the Great Qian Dynasty were all interconnected by high - level cultivators who had set up spatial formations. The quantity of goods in them was astronomical.
Of course, the quality was also uneven, with a huge gap.
The most precious treasure, the "Heaven - Piercing Talisman", alone accounted for 30% of the total value of all the goods.
The cheapest ones were so ordinary that even if they were thrown into the marketplace, people might not even give them a second look.
"Senior Brother Zhong, what do you think of this auction secret realm?"
Lu Ze took the lead to ask.
Zhong Yi looked around, hesitated for a while, and then replied, "Whoever sells the 'Heaven - Piercing Talisman' is probably going to win... So the key to this secret realm lies in how to sell the 'Heaven - Piercing Talisman' at a higher price."
Zhong Yi was very confused at the moment.
On the way here, Lu Ze had informed him not to set up a sound - proof barrier during the communication.
Now, with the gazes of competitors all around, Zhong Yi didn't know what was going on in Lu Ze's mind for a while.
"That's right... Not only should we sell it, but also sell it at a higher price."
Lu Ze nodded with a smile.
"Coincidentally, I have an idea here..."
As he spoke, he set up a sound - proof barrier around him.
"You scared me! I thought you really weren't on guard against the competitors!"
Zhong Yi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, looking forward to Lu Ze's amazing idea.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ze's lips just opened and closed, but no sound came out.
Zhong Yi was stunned. "??? Why don't you say it???"
"I've finished. Let's go."
Lu Ze removed the barrier with a smile and left the warehouse of Feiyun Commercial Firm without looking back.
On the way back, Zhong Yi was worried.
"This proposition makes it easy to cheat..."
Zhong Yi murmured to himself.
After seeing the goods in the warehouse, as smart as Zhong Yi was, he clearly knew that whoever sold the "Heaven - Piercing Talisman" would be the winner.
There were many ways to cheat here.
As long as one arranged a bidder to buy the "Heaven - Piercing Talisman" at a high price, wouldn't they be guaranteed to win?
But unfortunately, there was a rule that only people within the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty could participate in the auction in the secret realm.
"Junior Brother Lu, you just said you had a way to sell the 'Heaven - Piercing Talisman'. May I ask what it is?"
Lu Ze was munching on a spiritual fruit and said carelessly, "I lied to you."
Zhong Yi: "???"
"You said this problem can be cheated... The 'Heaven - Piercing Talisman' must be bought by someone arranged by the Illusion League."
Lu Ze shrugged and said without any concealment.
"Otherwise, I'll ask my master to think of a way. At most, it'll just cost more money..."
Zhong Yi frowned and said.
"No need. With their methods, they must have placed informants all over the Great Qian Dynasty... Doing so would only give others a handle."
Lu Ze waved his hand.
"But the value of the 'Heaven - Piercing Talisman' accounts for 30% of the entire warehouse! Once the 'Heaven - Piercing Talisman' is sold..."
Zhong Yi hesitated to speak.
"Yes, it only accounts for 30%."
Lu Ze smiled as if it were a matter of course.
"So..."
"I just need to sell the remaining 70%."
...
...
In the Leisure Cloud Villa, in the floating pavilion.
"Alliance Leader, the informant from Feiyun Commercial Firm reported that that kid was in the warehouse just now..."
Blood Crow rushed to report the news to the "Heart Demon".
When Lu Ze and Zhong Yi were discussing the plan for the secret realm just now, they forgot to set up a sound - proof barrier and almost revealed the key information.
However, everyone knew that Lu Ze had a way to sell the "Heaven - Piercing Talisman".
This news made the "Heart Demon" close his eyes and think for a long time.
Lu Ze had endless tricks and schemes. When he said he had a way, even the four elders of the Illusion League didn't dare to be careless.
"If he sells it first, it'll be very difficult to turn the tables..."
Blood Crow sighed.
One "Heaven - Piercing Talisman" was worth 30%.
To exceed this value, one would have to sell hundreds of rare items at once.
Such a large trading volume would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Moreover, if Lu Ze had a way to sell the "Heaven - Piercing Talisman", who could guarantee that he didn't have a way to sell other things?
By then, there would be no chance to turn the tables!
"Indeed."
The "Heart Demon" nodded.
Although Lu Ze's act of forgetting to set up a sound - proof barrier seemed like fishing, he didn't want to take the risk.
"Finalize the secret realm today... Arrange the auction tomorrow."
Blood Crow was overjoyed. "Understood!"
...
...
After returning to the Leisure Cloud Villa, Lu Ze didn't do anything.
After resting for a night, he started working the next morning.
It wasn't to create the secret realm but to create the illusion of "The King of Auctions" first.
The scale of "The King of Auctions" was very small. With Lu Ze's current level, it only took a few hours, and this was after high - level optimization.
"Unfilial disciple, isn't the proposition about the secret realm? Why are you making an illusion again?"
Nangong Yuan was puzzled.
"To build momentum for the secret realm."
Lu Ze replied as if it were a matter of course.
The key points of an auction were having goods and having buyers.
Without accident, the Illusion League had already established connections all over the Great Qian Dynasty. It would be difficult for the Lingxiao Sect's connections to penetrate in a short time.
If he wanted more people to participate in the auction, he had to build his own fame and attract as many participants as possible.
And the illusion was the source of Lu Ze's "momentum".
Just then, Zhong Yi's panicked voice suddenly came.
"Something bad has happened!!"
Zhong Yi looked extremely serious. But when these words reached Nangong Yuan's ears, the latter straightened his back all of a sudden.
"The 'Heaven - Piercing Talisman' has been sold!!!"
...
...
In the Leisure Cloud Villa, in the floating pavilion.
"Elder Blood Crow, you did a great job on this!"
Rakshasa flattered with a smile.
To prevent Lu Ze from taking the lead, after the "Heart Demon" nodded, Blood Crow immediately took action.
It wasn't impossible for a God - Transformation Realm cultivator proficient in the way of secret realms to create a secret realm in one day.
On that day, Blood Crow arranged three well - known and prestigious families to bid for the "Heaven - Piercing Talisman".
They bought the "Heaven - Piercing Talisman" at a sky - high price higher than its original value.
Moreover, for the sake of safety, Blood Crow also auctioned off several other treasures.
The total value of the auctioned treasures was almost equal to the total value of the remaining goods in the warehouse!
This meant that -
If Lu Ze wanted to turn the tables, he not only had to auction off all the remaining goods but also at a high price!
But more than half of the remaining things were ordinary items. Who would be so stupid to buy them?
Blood Crow had really gone all out on this matter.
The excess auction fees were all paid by him personally.
Previously, he had owed a huge debt because of Lu Ze's illusion, and now his situation was even worse...
But when he thought of the reward after winning the proposition, he felt that it was all worth it!
Blood Crow's eyes were gloomy:
"I'd like to see..."
"How you're going to win this time!"
...
...
In Lu Ze's residence at the Leisure Cloud Villa.
Lu Ze had long anticipated the hasty move of the Illusion League.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to prepare for a counter - attack in the secret realm. Instead, he happily entered the main world of the server and launched "The King of Bidding" in a new mode within "The Action in the Immortal Abyss Continent".
At this time, "The Action in the Immortal Abyss Continent" was at the peak of its popularity, with the number of online players approaching eight hundred thousand.
This was the "momentum" that Lu Ze wanted to ride on!
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
