Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After listening to the shopkeepers detailed explanation, Lu Yu nodded in agreement. That sounds good.

But for a newcomer like you, the shopkeeper continued, offering some friendly advice, it might be wise to start with a small bottle of each potion. Once youre back home, you can conduct your own little experiment to see how they affect your dragons growth. If youre happy with the results, you can always come back and buy more in bulk. Of course, if youre a bit tight on funds, a single small bottle wouldnt hurt. Theyre not that expensivetwo or three hundred Dragon Coins each. You could start with a small Stamina

Boosting Potion, for example.

Lu Yu glanced around the shelves, taking in the vast array of merchandise.

It seems like you two might be a little strapped for cash, the shopkeeper observed with a smile. How about starting with a small bottle of each kind first? I can offer a discount for newbies, no problem.

Lu Yu, however, shook his head dismissively. Ill take all the tonics you have here. Bring them all out, regardless of size.

The shopkeepers jaw dropped in astonishment. This customer what did you just say? He thought he might have misheard and clarified, I said it very clearly. Give me all the supplements you have. Every single bottle.

You want everything? Absolutely everything? Well, if thats what you need, I can definitely get it wrapped up for you.

No need for wrapping. Just leave them here. I have a way to transport them.

The shopkeeper remained bewildered for a moment, then shook his head and scurried to help, along with his two a.s.sistants. Together, they emptied the shelves of all the different supplements, placing them in a large, empty s.p.a.ce in the center of the shop.

Ill swipe my card. You should be able to accept cards, right?

Lu Yu retrieved the bank card he had just received from Zhao Qingya and showed it.

No problem at all. This shopping center is connected to the city bank, so direct card payments are accepted here.

The shopkeeper took the card and examined it closely. This isnt just any ordinary card. This belongs to a member of the hunting team, and a high-ranking one at that.

Suddenly, it dawned on the shopkeeper why Lu Yu had been so confident and unfazed by the cost. He was clearly someone of considerable means.

With newfound respect, the shopkeeper swiftly headed back to the counter to process the transaction. After a brief wait, he returned with the bank card and the receipt.

The transaction is complete, sir. The total comes out to over 70,000 Dragon Coins.

Thats not too bad, Lu Yu remarked nonchalantly. However, Jiang Xun, standing beside him, was trembling with apprehension.

70,000! 70,000 Dragon Coins just for these supplements? Do you really need to spend so much money? he stammered.

Dont worry about it, Lu Yu rea.s.sured him. Just take them and use them strategically.

Then, he casually inquired, By the way, do you have an interspatial ring?

Jiang Xun responded nervously, I do, but it doesnt have a lot of s.p.a.ce. I wouldnt be able to fit all these tonics in there.

In that case, Lu Yu offered, I can hold onto some of them for you first. You can start packing what you can fit. If its not enough, just hand the rest over to me.

With that, Jiang Xun began carefully transferring the tonics into his ring. After a series of attempts, there were still roughly half of them remaining.

Seeing this, Lu Yu wasted no time. He pulled out his pocket watch and, with a quick scan, deposited all the remaining supplements within its hidden compartment.

Alright, lets move on, Lu Yu declared, turning to leave. Just as he was about to head out the door, the shopkeeper called out to him.

Sir, I just received some important news. Would you be interested in hearing about it?

Lu Yu turned around and eyed the shopkeeper. Important, huh? Spill it. Whats the news?

Well, the shopkeeper began, leaning in conspiratorially, apparently theres a mysterious seller in the market today, offering a high-quality evolutionary supplement!

This isnt your average tonic. One dose accelerates a dragons growth rate significantly. Even adult dragons experience an evolutionary effectnot a major one, but certainly not bad.

A flicker of interest crossed Lu Yus face. Really? Where can I find this mysterious seller?

Theyre holding court in the auction hall on the fourth floor. You can head up and check it out. The auction probably hasnt begun yet, so theres no need to rush. Take your time browsing.

Lu Yu flashed a grateful smile and waved dismissively. Thanks for the tip. Well be on our way.

Exiting the shop, Lu Yu and Jiang Xun continued their exploration of the vast shopping center. Jiang Xun found himself overwhelmed by the dazzling array of merchandise on display.

So much amazing stuff! he exclaimed, his eyes wide with wonder. Just imagine all the incredible things they must have in a bigger store!

The sight of Jiang Xuns wide-eyed astonishment brought a smile to Lu Yus lips.

Their journey took them to the fourth floor, where a grand auction hall awaited, capable of seating a thousand people. As they approached the entrance, Lu Yu was stopped by a guard stationed at the door.

The guard raised a hand in a halting gesture. Sir, youll need a ticket to enter the auction hall. Please purchase one before proceeding.

Is the evolutionary medicine being auctioned off inside? Lu Yu inquired.

Indeed, sir. If youre interested, a ticket is your key to entry. There seems to be quite a crowd gathering for this event.

Lu Yu nodded curtly. Very well, no problem.

After acquiring the tickets, he ushered Jiang Xun into the magnificent auction hall. The interior was a spectacle, adorned with gold plating and s.h.i.+mmering, inlaid gems. Everything glinted with an air of opulence.

The patrons within were all dressed to the nines, exuding an aura of elegance.

Jiang Xun, in stark contrast, felt a pang of inferiority as he scanned the crowd.

Everyone here looks like theyre rolling in dough, he muttered, his voice barely a whisper. Back in the day, I wouldnt have even dared to look at them.

Well, look at you now, Lu Yu remarked, amus.e.m.e.nt dancing in his eyes.

Youre part of the elite. How does it feel to rub shoulders with the upper cla.s.s?

Jiang Xun shrugged. Its alright, I guess. Not exactly filled with excitement, but it does satisfy my curiosity.

As they settled into their seats, the auction commenced. A shrouded figure emerged, clad in a black robe, and slowly approached the central stage.

He surveyed the audience and boomed in a commanding voice, Everyone here is likely aware of the immense value and rarity of the evolutionary medicine I possess. Were it not for unforeseen circ.u.mstances within my family, I would never part with such a treasure. Let this be a testament to its significance.

Therefore, I have set the starting bid at 50,000 Dragon Coins. While some may find this figure steep, I a.s.sure you that it is a fair price. I trust each of you will offer a genuine valuation, reflecting the true worth of this extraordinary potion.

His p.r.o.nouncement elicited a collective grimace from the crowd. 50,000 Dragon Coins was a hefty sum to begin with, and this was merely the starting point. It was anyones guess how high the price would soar after several rounds of bidding.

Many in attendance had set their sights on this very potion, a potion with the power to alter the destinies of their families. Amongst the sea of faces, Lu Yu sat unfazed, while Jiang Xun, upon hearing the starting bid, gaped in stunned silence.

50,000 Dragon Coins just to start bidding on a single bottle of potion? Thats thats unbelievable! he stammered..
