Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

Chapter 205 The Auction Ends

Seeing Gong Yi's eagerness, Lin Yuan's smile deepened, but he made no move, only saying softly, "Is Young Master sure you want me to take out the magic weapon now?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Yi's feverish mind instantly cleared.

Yes! This is a top-grade magic artifact!

The radiance and fluctuations it exhibits cannot be completely concealed by the simple isolation and restrictions of this private room.

If it were taken out at this moment, it would be like lighting a lamp in the dark, immediately becoming the focus of everyone's attention, attracting countless inquisitive, greedy, and even malicious gazes.

Although he was excited, he was not unaware of the gravity of the situation.

"I was confused." Gong Yi took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement and eagerness, and said slowly.

He sat up straight again and turned his gaze to the auction stage, but the obsession with the "Shadow Fan" was no longer there in the depths of his eyes.

He now only hopes that this last item will be sold quickly so that Lin Yuan can finish the transaction with the auction house and return to the Gong family as soon as possible.

Without Gong Yi's voice in the bidding, the outcome was naturally a foregone conclusion.

"bite--!"

The crisp sound of the gavel brought this fierce competition to a close.

"Sold. The 'Shadow' Spirit Fan belongs to Fellow Daoist in Private Room No. 3." Elder Mo announced, his tone tinged with excitement.

In the private room across the hall, Zhou Shuyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, a joyful smile spreading across her face: "Sister Wanwan, we got it! That's wonderful!"

Although the price was so high that it left her speechless, she finally got what she wanted.

Zhou Wanwan's cool and aloof face remained expressionless; she merely nodded slightly.

Inside the private room where Lin Yuan was, Gong Yi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the gavel fall, and said to Lin Yuan in a low voice with a smile, "Alright, it's over."

"Then, today's auction is now over." On the auction stage, Old Master Mo's calm voice echoed throughout the hall, bringing this event, full of twists and turns, to a close.

"Those of you who have successfully bid for items, please proceed to the handover area in the back hall with your bidding tokens to complete the necessary procedures. The rest of you, please make yourselves at home."

As soon as the words were spoken, the crystal chandelier hanging high in the hall suddenly lit up, dispelling the deliberately created dim atmosphere around the auction stage.

The previously stagnant air seemed to begin to flow again. The cultivators rose one after another, and for a moment, the sounds of chairs being moved, whispering conversations, and the rustling of clothes mingled together.

Some people looked smug, clearly having made a great purchase; others shook their heads and sighed, regretting missing out on their desired items; while many more looked on with lingering satisfaction, excitedly discussing the items that had just been auctioned with their companions, especially the "Shadow Fan" that had fetched a record price of seven thousand spirit stones.

Gong Yi could no longer contain himself. He practically jumped up, his face filled with undisguised eagerness, and turned to Lin Yuan: "Brother Lin, let's go! Let's quickly hand over the Earth Dragon Blood Ginseng and Flowing Gold Sand, and then go back immediately! I can't wait to take a good look at my magic weapon!"

At this moment, all he could think about was that superior-grade magic sword that had not yet fully revealed its true form; he had even forgotten the slight unpleasantness he had felt while bidding against Zhou Wanwan earlier.

Seeing his cousin's impatient appearance, Gong Li couldn't help but chuckle and stood up, saying, "You're being a bit too hasty. The handover procedures always take some time."

Even so, there was anticipation in his eyes. After all, even within the Gong family, high-grade magic artifacts were not something that ordinary disciples could easily possess or see.

Lin Yuan slowly stood up, a slight smile in his eyes, and said, "Alright, let's go now."
