43: Patrol Dragon Sky Escape Formation, remember to be a good person in your next life!

Mu Xunyun slowly exhaled, a hint of regret still in his eyes, and slowly sat back down.

"It seems I'll have to wait until next time. This Earth Rank Magic Treasure is a bit too expensive."

"Eleven million!"

Guang Xiangming started bidding again; it seemed this treasure held a strong attraction for him too.

"Fifteen million."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking up at the highest golden private room. It was someone from the Heaven Rank private room who had spoken.

Everyone's enthusiasm was instantly doused. The person in that Heaven Rank private room had at least a hundred million Spirit Stone in assets; how could they possibly compete?

"Fifteen million once, fifteen million twice, fifteen..."

"Twenty million."

At the last moment, Lu Hao made a bid.

Seeing Mu Xunyun's expression, he naturally understood his desire for this item.

This person was his first friend outside of Qingxuan Sect, and Lu Hao felt he should help him out.

Anyway, he had so many Spirit Stone that he couldn't possibly spend them all!

Even buying the entire auction house would be more than enough.

"Hm?"

A slight sound came from the Heaven Rank private room, but then there was no further noise.

Clearly, twenty million had already exceeded the true value of this treasure.

"Twenty million once, twenty million twice, twenty million three times! Congratulations to this Fellow Daoist for successfully acquiring this Magic Treasure."

Jin Ya'er's slightly excited voice rang out.

This big spender always liked to overpay for things, and as an auctioneer, she loved people like him the most.

Everyone present also felt that Lu Hao had some issues, always liking to randomly overpay for things. Even if he was rich, this wasn't how to use money, right?

If he kept wasting it like this, he'd go bankrupt sooner or later!

......

Afterward, Lu Hao made three more bids, all for items that the Qingxuan Sect Cultivators could use.

Mu Xunyun did not make any more bids after that. He only wanted to buy a good sword; if he couldn't buy it this time, he would save up and buy it next time.

Finally, the auction was drawing to a close, and it was time for the last item of this auction!

"Fellow Daoists, next up is the last item of this auction: the Dragon Patrol Sky Evasion Formation Diagram! This Formation was passed down by a Mahayana Great Perfection expert who specialized in the Dao of Formations. Although it has been significantly damaged, it can still form a Dragon Patrol Sky Evasion Formation once activated."

"This Dragon Patrol Sky Evasion Formation has an extremely large range and can be freely controlled, with a maximum range of a million kilometers! Moreover, its defensive capability is extremely strong, capable of resisting Soul Transformation Cultivator for a long time. It can be said that with it, your Sect will basically be invincible!"

"And most importantly, it comes with a function to search for Spirit Stone Spiritual Vein!"

"After this brief introduction, I believe everyone already knows its value. So, for this last item, the starting bid is one billion Spirit Stone, and each bid must not be less than ten million!"

As Jin Ya'er's enchanting voice just fell, a powerful aura appeared in the auction hall.

A black-clad man stood with his hands behind his back before the treasure, revealing a Soul Transformation Great Perfection cultivation!

For such an important treasure, a Soul Transformation Perfection expert had been dispatched to protect it, ensuring the auction proceeded normally.

Everyone present stared intently at the Formation Diagram, their eyes filled with a longing that was almost overwhelming their reason.

However, after sensing the aura of the black-clad man, they regained their composure.

Such a treasure was, after all, not something they could covet.

Lu Hao, however, was somewhat tempted by this treasure.

The treasures on him were all too powerful. It was fine to set them up in his own courtyard, as hardly anyone went there normally.

If he set them up outside, it would be troublesome if they were discovered.

If a small Sect's Sect Protecting Grand Formation turned out to be an Emperor Rank Formation, it would likely scare half to death all the experts in the entire Eastern Domain!

He didn't want to attract the covetous gazes of various unsavory individuals.

Therefore, a Formation of this Rank was just right, and it could also help the Qingxuan Sect Cultivators search for Spiritual Vein, killing two birds with one stone.

After an intense bidding war, Lu Hao ultimately acquired this treasure for a price of forty-five billion.

Lu Hao's bid this time truly stunned Mu Xunyun, leaving him speechless for a long time.

Forty-five billion, forty-five billion!!! This was forty-five billion! And I even paid his one thousand yuan entrance fee back then...

The auction ended, and Lu Hao said goodbye to Mu Xunyun before leaving.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed the staff to leave that Low Grade Earth Rank Magic Treasure for Mu Xunyun.

Mu Xunyun was overjoyed after receiving the Magic Treasure later, continuously thanking Lu Hao in his heart.

After leaving, a cold glint flashed in Lu Hao's eyes. He deliberately walked to a deserted place and said faintly:

"Come out, stop following."

"Heh heh, so I've been discovered. Since that's the case, hand over all your treasures and Spirit Stone, and I'll spare your life!"

Behind Lu Hao, three black-clad men appeared. Lu Hao activated his Heavenly Eye of Unveiling to investigate.

One Soul Transformation Late Stage, two Soul Transformation Middle Stage!

As for that Foundation Establishment Stage brat, after seeing that he could produce forty-five billion Spirit Stone, he had long since run as fast as he could, scared out of his wits.

"What if I say no?"

"Then you shall die!"

The three black-clad men stopped wasting words with Lu Hao and attacked in unison, creating bursts of sonic booms. Their offensive was extremely vast!

Just as the three were about to reach Lu Hao.

Lu Hao made no extra movements and directly unleashed his Void Refining Perfection aura!

"Boom!"

An incomparably dense aura instantly swept out from Lu Hao, engulfing the three black-clad men like a fierce wind.

The three figures were suddenly fixed in mid-air, their eyes, which had been full of killing intent, instantly replaced by terror!

"Void Refining expert!!! You are actually a Void Refining expert!"

"How is this possible? The intelligence said he was Soul Transformation Stage, didn't it?! How could you be Void Refining Stage!!"

"Senior, Senior Lu, please spare us! I was blinded by greed, I deserve to die, I shouldn't have attacked Senior. Please let me go."

For a moment, the three spoke one after another, some in shock, some begging for mercy.

But their bodies, frozen in mid-air and trembling slightly, already revealed the extreme fear in their hearts!

"You should think about the consequences before you act. If I were no match for you today, would you spare me?"

Lu Hao stared at the three with cold eyes and said faintly:

"In your next life, remember not to provoke those you shouldn't, and be a good person."

"No......"

Lu Hao slightly unleashed his cultivation, and the Void Refining pressure directly crushed the three into dust, not even leaving a complete word.

Lu Hao reached out and took the three Storage Pouch, then departed.

This incident also made him lose the mood to continue strolling, and he turned to return to his temporary residence.

Qingxuan Sect was still more comfortable; at least no one would covet his Spirit Stone...

Lu Hao pushed open the door and found Dugu Litian still Cultivating, so he went upstairs and fell asleep on a lounge chair.

These days before the Five Cities Tournament began.

Lu Hao first visited all the major shops in Zhongyi City and exchanged the Xuan Tian Auction token for a massive amount of Low-Grade Spirit Stone and Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.

Then he returned to Qingxuan Sect and did three things there.
