734: Chapter 694: Martial Emperor Realm Powerful Expert_1 734: Chapter 694: Martial Emperor Realm Powerful Expert_1 The Lu family auction continued as planned, although the atmosphere was slightly cooler than the day before, but everyone couldn’t suppress their enthusiasm.

At a Lu family auction, rarely were there substandard items up for sale.

This auction was also a path for the elites of Myriad Stars City to find good items.

The Celestial Candle Sword was a slender, light-weight sword ideal for those with agile builds.

Lu Chuan raised his bidding placard, aiming to acquire the precious sword—it would be perfect for Gu Xiaosang to use.

The size and length were quite suitable for Gu Xiaosang’s build.

The auctioneer looked at Lu Chuan with displeasure in his eyes.

As a proud member of the Lu family, he naturally had no affection for Lu Chuan.

The rest of the Lu family present shared this sentiment, viewing Lu Chuan with hostile and cold gazes.

This was the main reason for the chilly atmosphere at the auction.

The other attendees felt the tension and dared not raise their bidding placards.

“Two thousand taels of gold for the first time!”

The auctioneer declared coldly.

After three calls, the Celestial Candle Sword was announced to be in the hands of Lu Chuan.

Qin Xiong looked at Lu Chuan and whispered, “Didn’t you notice?

The atmosphere’s off here, many people are hostile towards you.”

“Isn’t that obvious?

They’d be crazy not to be hostile towards me,” Lu Chuan retorted.

With a helpless sigh, Qin Xiong said, “You’ve got some nerve coming here, they definitely won’t let you leave alive.”

“Ha, that’s for me to decide, not them.

I come and go as I please, they can’t stop me,” Lu Chuan replied confidently.

Seeing such confidence, Qin Xiong became curious, “Who exactly are you?

Not even afraid of the Lu family?”

“It won’t be long before the Lu family fears me,” Lu Chuan proclaimed.

“You know, my name is Lu Chuan, and I do have some…

relationship with the Lu family.

Mostly, enemies,” he admitted.

Qin Xiong shrugged, “These major families are too complex for me, I don’t want to get involved.

As long as you don’t drag the Qin family into it, do whatever you want.”

Right now, he was incredibly tense, fearing that associating with an enemy of the Lu family was asking for trouble.

He just wanted to distance himself from Lu Chuan as quickly as possible, and from the Dongfang family too.

Lu Chuan simply shrugged indifferently.

Just then, the auctioneer stepped down, and a new one took the stage.

Dressed in a white Martial Path uniform, the man briskly walked onto the stage.

He was tall and well-built, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes.

That stern square face of his was filled with tough flesh, clearly a formidable man.

After surveying the audience upon reaching the stage, he flashed a smile.

“The auction will proceed under my watch from now on.

Please, don’t be too concerned,” he said with a cold laugh, his gaze fixed on Lu Chuan.

His look of disdain seemed to belittle Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan merely responded with a faint smile.

Then the man turned to the crowd and shouted, “Ladies and gentlemen!”

“You must recognize me, my name is Lu Yan, and I’m a member of Lu Manor, as well as the operator of this auction,” he declared.

“Today, we have an unusual guest at the auction, so I personally came to maintain order, to avoid disappointing this rare visitor!” he announced before bursting into loud laughter.

His words made it obvious; he was here for Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan could see that the man’s gaze hadn’t left him for a moment, completely fixated.

Soon after, the surrounding audience began to buzz with discussion, their expressions filled with shock and uncertainty.

“It’s really strange, Lu Yan actually took it upon himself to take charge of the situation!”

“It’s indeed rare; it used to be as difficult as ascending to heaven to even see him.”

“I just heard a while ago that Lu Yan had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm, but I don’t know if it’s true or false.”

“Martial Emperor Realm?

That’s too formidable; how many powerful experts of the Martial Emperor Realm are there in Lu Manor now?”

“Hard to say, but definitely not just one or two.

It seems that Lu Manor will continue to maintain its number one status in Myriad Stars City in the future.”

“His personal appearance today seems to be targeting someone…”

After much discussion, many glanced at Lu Chuan cautiously.

It was evident that these two were like a needle matched against wheat; both sides were full of momentum and bound to clash sooner or later.

The others present couldn’t help but become tense, fearing that a fight would break out here and they would all suffer because of it.

Following that, Lu Yan instructed the staff to bring in the next auction item.

The auction continued as usual, with high-quality items being brought up and the bidding spiritedly going on below.

One item after another was successively brought up, and the atmosphere of the auction became increasingly heated.

Gradually, it made everyone forget the tension they had just felt.

Next, Lu Yan stared at Lu Chuan and shouted loudly, “The following item for auction is a rare forging material, Earth Spirit Ash!”

“With this material, one can forge sturdy and perfect protection gear.

Moreover, this material has an astounding effect of removing decay.

Any rusted, damaged, or broken Magic Artifact can use this material to be restored!”

“The starting bid is a thousand taels of Gold!”

The agitated crowd instantly cooled down.

Merely a material, and it costs a thousand taels of Gold just to bid for it!

What’s more, this is only the starting price.

If one or two people bid, the price will go even higher.

This is simply too much of a loss; whoever bids is a fool.

Although everyone was very dissatisfied in their hearts, they didn’t dare to express it.

After all, this was an auction held by the Lu family, and no matter how unreasonable, they could only endure it.

Then, Lu Chuan raised his placard.

“I bid one thousand one hundred taels of Gold.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan suddenly burst into laughter.

“This gentleman has raised the bid, is there anyone else who would like to follow?”

“If no one else is following, then this treasure will belong to this young master!”

The crowd below fell silent, with no one responding.

Lu Yan looked at Lu Chuan and said with a smile, “Congratulations, you’ve successfully bid for two treasures at our auction.”

“But, this is just the beginning.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes our auction for today.

Although we had a few items, I assure you, the quantity and quality will definitely be enhanced tomorrow.”

“Everyone may leave now; we’ll meet again tomorrow.”

“However, this young master, please stay behind if you want to claim these two items.”

Lu Yan looked at Lu Chuan intently, his gaze seeming to ask, do you dare to stay?

Lu Chuan sat steadily in his original position, and said indifferently, “No problem, I can sit and wait.”

“Good, everyone can leave now, go on home.

We’ll meet again tomorrow,” said Lu Yan with a hint of excitement.

He could hardly contain himself and yearned to take action as soon as possible.

Seeing that things weren’t right, everyone hurriedly got up and left.

Before departing, many gave Lu Chuan a look.

Qin Xiong turned to Lu Chuan and said anxiously, “We’ll leave first; take care of yourself.”
