"Brother Shen, I want this Red Dragon Order. Name your price!"

Someone immediately called out.

Seeing someone spoke first, Shen Yuming smiled without responding. The others understood and also began to speak:

"Yes, the value of this item is considerable. I understand the rules, Brother Shen, just name your price."

"Indeed, I'm quite interested in this Red Dragon Token myself."

"Brother Chen, don't mind me saying this, but with your financial status, I'm afraid you can't afford this Red Dragon Order, right?"

"Heh, to be honest, I can't afford the whole Red Dragon Order. But since it offers nine slots to enter the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, whoever buys it, I can pay a high price to buy one of those slots, right?"

"Hmm... That makes sense. Can't afford the whole token, but can certainly afford a slot."

...

"Was Shen Yuming doing that on purpose just now?"

Gu Yuan's expression was a bit strange.

Shen Yuming first mentioned the Phoenix Blood Grass to spark everyone's interest and desire, then took the opportunity to sell the Red Dragon Order. That certainly had a bit of a businessman's flair.

But it was clear that Gu Yuan wasn't the only one who noticed this; many present also realized, but no one showed any unusual reaction, which surprised Gu Yuan slightly, then he understood.

It's probably common; similar things must have happened before.

Moreover, the Red Dragon Order is indeed quite attractive to most people present here.

After all, such things are limited in supply, even for major cultivation sects like Medicine King Mountain and Gu God Sect, it's the same.

According to what Gu Yuan knew, including the Red Dragon Order Xia Mingyang obtained by chance, Medicine King Mountain had only twenty-seven slots. And with Xia Mingyang's token exempted, it's just twenty-six slots.

Twenty-six slots seem like a lot, but it's still too few compared to the nine True Inheritance disciples, hundreds of outstanding Inner Sect Disciples, and the children of various Elders of the entire Medicine King Mountain.

There's probably no one here not interested in the Red Dragon Order.

After all, within the Red Dragon Immortal Palace lies a small world, rumored to contain the relics of a Yang Spirit Great One, possibly from a Primordial Spirit True Immortal.

Inside, there must be various Spirit Medicines and treasures, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Magical Artifacts, Daoist Scriptures, and so on.

It might even have the personal Magical Treasures of the Red Dragon Taoist or Inheritance Daoist Scriptures.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such an opportunity?

But why haven't people gone for it then?

It's naturally because the slots for the Red Dragon Order are limited, and even disciples from major sects here have to follow the arrangements and directives of their sects.

So, even knowing Shen Yuming's intentions, no one minded at all.

Seeing many people getting excited, Shen Yuming smiled, glanced around, and said, "Since many fellow Daoists are interested in this Red Dragon Order, let's do it the old way, the highest bidder wins."

No one objected, and they all began bidding.

"I bid fifty thousand Spirit Stones."

A tall, burly young man with a shaven head said in a deep voice.

This man had a robust build, with vigor like dragons and elephants, giving off an extremely mighty and domineering aura.

Gu Yuan couldn't help but glance at him more, knowing he was a rare Body Cultivator.

His words did not surprise most people. Previously, the slot price for the Red Dragon Order in the black market was five thousand Spirit Stones.

Even so, it's been impossible to purchase, even with the means.

A Red Dragon Order with nine slots priced together would be forty-five thousand Spirit Stones.

So it's normal for him to bid fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

At this moment, someone else made a bid: "I bid fifty-five thousand."

"I bid sixty thousand!"

"I bid sixty-three thousand! Fellow Daoists, please give me some face..."

"Heh heh... Fellow Daoist Zhou, those words are too much. Fair competition, highest bidder wins, everyone is interested, so everyone fights for themselves. What do you mean by face?"

"That makes sense... I bid sixty-five thousand Spirit Stones."

"Seventy thousand Spirit Stones!"

As the group conversed, the price steadily climbed.

Gu Yuan picked up his glass, sipping slowly, finding the Spirit Wine sweet and mellow, with a gentle fragrance lingering in his mouth after the sweetness faded.

As for the Red Dragon Order, he wasn't interested.

After all, he had already confirmed with Ji Canghai that in two months, he would explore the Red Dragon Immortal Palace together with him.

Opposite him, Ji Canghai was equally indifferent, paying no attention to anyone, drinking alone.

He seemed uninterested in anyone or anything, including the Red Dragon Token.

"One hundred thousand!"

However, soon a voice shattered the atmosphere, taking everyone by surprise.

Gu Yuan paused in the middle of pouring wine.

Everyone turned to the direction of the voice, realizing it was Lv Kun who had placed the bid.

Lv Kun ignored the gazes from all around, looked at Shen Yuming, and smiled: "If Brother Shen doesn't mind, how about I purchase this item for one hundred thousand Spirit Stones?"

Shen Yuming smiled and calmly said, "I have no objections, but it depends on whether other fellow Daoists agree."

"Does any other fellow Daoist wish to bid?"

Lv Kun glanced around with a light smile. As he spoke, his gaze lingered on Gu Yuan for a moment.

Gu Yuan, however, did not respond, savoring the Spirit Wine on his own.

Lv Kun's eyes deepened, and seeing no one speaking, he shifted his gaze and looked at Shen Yuming.

Shen Yuming nodded: "Very well, this item is yours, Brother Lv."

With that, he took out a crimson token, while Lv Kun handed over a Storage Pouch, and both parties took what they needed.

Placing the Red Dragon Order into the Storage Pouch, Lv Kun seemed quite satisfied, then asked with a smile: "I've heard Brother Shen always has his ear to the ground; there's something, I wonder if you've heard of it."

"Oh?"

Shen Yuming gestured to continue: "I can't say my ear is always to the ground, but please, Brother Lv, speak. I'll share all I know."

"You're too kind, Brother Shen. May I ask if you have ever heard of the Flame Dragon Jade Seal?"

Lv Kun asked casually.

Flame Dragon Jade Seal?

Gu Yuan paused slightly with the wine glass, then raised it to his lips and drained the cup in one go.

He had certainly heard this name before...

Previously, on the Suspended Dragon Boat, his master, He Ling True Master, had mentioned this item while chatting with Sha Luosheng.

It was said to be the personal treasure of the Red Dragon Taoist.

And it was for this Flame Dragon Jade Seal that Li Changsheng, who achieved First Grade Pill Formation and was a Primordial Spirit Seed, was exploring the Red Dragon Immortal Palace this time.

Li Changsheng, being Medicine King Mountain's number one True Inheritance, with great prospects of proving the Primordial Spirit True Immortal path, had a bright future.

For someone like him, ordinary Magical Artifacts, even top-grade ones, or Magical Treasures would have little lure, not worthy of his extensive efforts to embark on such a quest.
