nEven if Duan He won the 12 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, they would remain his personal items regardless if Lin Yuan recruited him or not.

nThere was no doubt that Duan He was Wang Fuxiang’s strongest competitor.

nMoreover, the bid needed to reach an unimaginable amount in order to meet the conditions Lin Yuan was hoping for.

nWhen Wang Fuxiang heard that her bid had been outdone, she started to boil with rage.

nWang Fuxiang glared at Duan He and said, “Why does a disgusting man like you need these Cloud Dream Lake pearls? Something as magnificent as this should be hung around my neck. Only my snow-white neck is worthy of being adorned by them.”

nDuan He glanced at Wang Fuxiang’s neck.

nSomehow, he felt as though what she said was right.

nThe moment that the thought entered his head, Duan He could not help but be shocked at himself.

nHe hastily looked away and said in a low voice, “The maximum purity of the elemental energy in the 9.9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls is the best medicine to trigger metamorphosis in feys.”

nWang Fuxiang patted the chair in front of her and softly uttered, “I bid 30 source-type items. One of the source-type items is the paper-elemental source-type item that I mentioned before. How dare you speak of using the Cloud Dream pearls to nurture feys. It’s almost sacrilegious. Hehe, of course, someone like you is destined to be a pauper forever.”

nDuan He’s expression darkened. He raised his bid above Wang Fuxiang’s without another word.

nListen, who was next to Lin Yuan, announced, “The auction will end in two minutes. All who still want to bid should do so now.”

nAfter Listen spoke, one of the bigshots in the group joined the bidding war.

nHowever, the moment that he called out his bid, Duan He outbid him.

nThe bigshot that had been outbid sat back down on his seat regretfully and crossed his legs.

nIt was obvious that he had abandoned bidding and was resigned to being a spectator.

nJust then, the silent Master Duan Li stood up and said, “My bid remains the same, but I would like to add another 500 grams of Thousand Opportunity Crystal and a Heaven and Earth Sunlight King Lotus.”

nWang Fuxiang’s expression flattened, and she cursed to herself.

nThis old woman is a Creation Master. How is she willing to sacrifice the Sunlight King Lotus as a bid? She’s a lunatic!

nLin Yuan had a slight inclination to give up on his plan, and he decided to use other methods in the future to get his hands on all the rare spiritual ingredients Master Duan Li had that he needed.

nHowever, he did not expect Master Duan Li to be so obstinate as to join the fray along with Duan He and Wang Fuxiang.

nMaster Duan Li’s bid immediately fulfilled half of the conditions Lin Yuan had been hoping for.

nBut, whether Lin Yuan’s expectations could come to fruition was still up to Duan He and Wang Fuxiang.

nIf Duan He and Wang Fuxiang did not continue bidding, Lin Yuan would be able to obtain everything that Master Duan Li had bid.

nHer bid even included the Sunlight King Lotus. What a profit!

nIn order to expand the man-made lake in Return from Faraway Mansion, Lin Yuan wanted to build a water garden in the center.

nThe hardest part of the process was how to keep the garden buoyant.

nAs a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman, it was hard for him to design a water garden.

nThe foundation of the garden was already a huge project. If Lin Yuan could obtain the Sunlight King Lotus, he would plant it in the middle of the man-made lake.

nThe Sunlight King Lotus would eventually grow to the size of a small mountain, and he would build a beautiful pavilion on each of its 32 leaves.

nThe matured Sunlight King Lotus would form a natural basic structure for the water garden.

nAll of Hu Quan’s designs and buildings could take place on top of the Sunlight King Lotus.

nAs a Heaven and Earth Fey, the Sunlight King Lotus’ main ability was that it could store sunlight in its tusk-shaped roots that grew underwater.

nAfter the sun set, the Sunlight King Lotus would release all the sunlight it had stored.

nAbove the surface would be dark, but underwater would be lit up warmly like daytime. Hence, the surface of the water would be alight and bright at all times,

nUnfortunately, the Sunlight King Lotus was not a very strong Heaven and Earth Fey.

nNonetheless, the Sunlight King Lotus’ abilities could provide the plant-type feys in Lin Yuan’s water garden with twice the sunlight.

nThe increased amount of sunlight would allow the flowers that required more sunlight to bloom more illustriously than before.

nWith the Sunlight King Lotus, Hu Quan and Jiao Hanzhong’s collection of various rare flowers would be sure to turn the water garden into a magical place.

nThe only animals in the man-made lake would be the Angelfish of Bliss that Lin Yuan planned on breeding.

nWhen nightfall descended, the water would be flooded with the glittering sunlight that beat down at noon.

nAfter Duan He and Wang Fuxiang’s short pause, they both shouted out their addition of source-type items in unison.

nTheir prices had matched Master Duan Li’s.

nMaster Duan Li cursed internally, These two are insane!

nMaster Duan Li no longer looked like she had everything under control.

nLi Xiaotiao was thrilled as his Master and uncle were bidding so intensely.

nAs the disciple and nephew of two bigshots, I’m so cool!

nWhile Duan He and Wang Fuxiang were screaming out bids, Lin Yuan’s lip curled upward under the mask.

nThe conditions he had hoped for were finally fulfilled. Now was the time for him to reap his harvest.

nListen checked the time.

nWang Fuxiang, Duan He, and Master Duan Li’s bids were evenly matched.

nListen proclaimed, “Ten seconds left till the group welfare auction is over.”

nWang Fuxiang gnashed her teeth and said in a sweet voice, “I’m willing to add another three source-type items.”

n
