"King of Auctions" is a small game, making it easy to produce.

Lu Ze did not rush to take action, but instead went with Zhong Yi to the Feiyun Trading Company's warehouse to find out the details.

There were hundreds of cultivators traveling together, each eyeing the top spot covetously.

Although Qian Wancai is an ordinary person, Feiyun Trading Company is anything but ordinary.

The warehouses scattered throughout the Great Gan Dynasty were all interconnected by spatial arrays set up by high-level cultivators, and the amount of goods inside was astronomical.

Of course, the quality varies greatly.

The most expensive item, the 【Tongtianlu】, accounts for 30% of the total value of the goods.

Even the cheapest one, if thrown into the marketplace, might not attract much attention.

"Senior Brother Zhong, what do you think of this auction secret realm?"

Lu Ze was the first to speak.

Zhong Yi looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then answered, "Whoever sells the 【Tongtian Talisman】 is probably going to win... So the key to this secret realm is how to sell the 【Tongtian Talisman】 at a higher price."

Zhong Yi was very puzzled at this moment.

On the way here, Lu Ze had informed him not to set up a soundproof barrier when they were communicating.

Now that competitors are watching from all sides, Zhong Yi had no idea what Lu Ze was planning.

"That's right... not only do we have to sell, but we have to sell at a higher price."

Lu Ze smiled and nodded.

"I happen to have an idea..."

As he spoke, he set up a soundproof barrier around them.

"You scared me to death! I thought you really weren't on guard against your competitors!"

Zhong Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, anticipating Lu Ze's surprising idea.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ze's lips opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a single sound.

Zhong Yi was shocked: "??? Why don't you just say it???"

"Now that we've finished talking, let's go."

Lu Ze smiled and dispelled the barrier, leaving Feiyun Trading Company's warehouse without looking back.

On the way back, Zhong Yi was filled with worry.

"This proposition is very easy to cheat on..."

Zhong Yi muttered to himself.

Upon seeing the goods in the warehouse, the astute Zhong Yi knew very well that whoever sold the 【Tongtianlu】 would be the winner.

There are many ways to cheat here.

If we just arrange for someone to buy the 【Tongtianlu】 at a high price, wouldn't that be a sure win?

However, one of the rules states that only people from within the Great Gan Dynasty can participate in the secret realm auction.

"Junior Brother Lu, you just said you have a way to sell the 【Tongtian Talisman】. May I ask what that way is?"

While munching on a spirit fruit, Lu Ze said nonchalantly, "I was just kidding."

Zhong Yi: "???"

"You said you could cheat on this question... 【Tongtianlu】 must have been bought by someone arranged by the Illusion Alliance."

Lu Ze shrugged and said without any attempt to hide his feelings.

"How about I ask my master for help? At most, it'll just cost more money..."

Zhong Yi frowned.

"No need. With their methods, they must have spies all over the Daqian Dynasty... Doing so would only give them a handle to use against us."

Lu Ze waved his hand.

"But the 【Tongtian Talisman】 accounts for a full 30% of the entire warehouse's value! Once the 【Tongtian Talisman】 is sold..."

Zhong Yi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Yes, it only accounts for 30%."

Lu Ze laughed as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"so......"

"I just need to sell the remaining 70%."

...

...

Xianyun Villa, a floating pavilion.

"My lord, our informant from the Flying Cloud Trading Company reports that that kid was just in the warehouse..."

【Blood Raven】 hurriedly approached 【Inner Demon】 to report the news.

When Lu Ze and Zhong Yi were discussing the secret realm plan, they forgot to set up a soundproof barrier, almost revealing crucial information.

However, everyone knows that Lu Ze has a way to sell the 【Tongtianlu】.

This news made 【Inner Demon】 close his eyes and ponder for a long time.

Lu Ze's ingenious ideas and schemes are endless. He claims he has a way of doing things, and even the four elders of the Illusion Alliance dare not be careless.

"If he manages to sell it first, it will be very difficult to turn things around..."

【Blood Raven】 sighed.

One 【Tongtianlu】 is worth 30%.

To exceed this value, you would have to sell hundreds of rare items at once.

Such a trading volume inevitably invites criticism and raises suspicions.

Moreover, if Lu Ze has a way to sell the 【Tongtianlu】, who can guarantee that he can't sell other things?

By then, there won't be a chance to turn the tide!

"That's true."

【Inner Demon】 nodded.

Although Lu Ze's act of forgetting to set up a soundproof barrier seemed like he was fishing for trouble, he didn't want to gamble.

"We'll finalize the secret location today...and arrange the auction tomorrow."

Blood Raven was overjoyed: "Understood!"

...

...

Upon returning to Xianyun Manor, Lu Ze made no move.

After resting overnight, construction began the following morning.

Instead of creating a secret realm, we first need to create the illusionary realm of "King of Auctions".

The game "King of Auctions" is relatively small. With Lu Ze's current skill level, it will only take a few hours, even with high optimization.

"Traitorous disciple, isn't this supposed to be a secret realm? Why have you created an illusion instead?"

Nangong Yuan expressed his confusion.

"To build hype for the secret realm."

Lu Ze answered as a matter of course.

The key points of an auction are having goods and having buyers.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Illusion Alliance has already established a comprehensive network of relationships within the Great Gan Dynasty, making it difficult for the Lingxiao Sect to penetrate it in a short period of time.

He wants more people to participate in the auction, so he needs to build his reputation and attract as many participants as possible.

The illusion is the source of Lu Ze's "power".

Just then, Zhong Yi's panicked voice suddenly came.

"Something terrible has happened!!"

Zhong Yi's expression was extremely serious, but when these words reached Nangong Yuan's ears, the latter felt his back straighten up instantly.

"【The Heavenly Talisman】 has been sold!!!"

...

...

Xianyun Villa, a floating pavilion.

"As expected of Elder 【Blood Raven】, you handled this brilliantly!"

【Rakshasa】 flattered with a smile.

To avoid being outmaneuvered by Lu Ze, 【Blood Raven】 made his move immediately after 【Inner Demon】 nodded.

Creating a secret realm in a single day is not inexplicable for a Nascent Soul cultivator who is well-versed in the ways of secret realms.

That very day, 【Blood Raven】 arranged for three prominent families to compete for 【Tongtianlu】 by bidding against each other.

The 【Tongtianlu】 was auctioned off for an exorbitant price, far exceeding its intrinsic value.

To be on the safe side, 【Blood Raven】 even auctioned off several more treasures.

The total value of the auctioned items was almost equal to the total value of all the remaining goods in the warehouse!

This means—

If Lu Ze wants to turn the tide, he not only has to auction off all the remaining goods, but he also has to do so at a high price!

But most of the remaining items are ordinary things, so why would anyone be a fool to buy them?

【Blood Raven】 has spared no expense in this matter.

He personally paid all the excess costs incurred in the auction.

He had already racked up a mountain of debt because of Lu Ze's illusions, and now things were only getting worse...

But when he thought about the reward for winning the challenge, he felt that it was all worth it!

【Blood Raven】's eyes were sinister:

"I'd like to see......"

"How are you going to win this time?!"

...

...

Xianyun Villa, Lu Ze's residence.

Lu Ze had anticipated the Illusion Alliance's hasty move.

However, instead of rushing to create the Secret Realm Counterattack, he happily entered the server's main world and launched "King of Auctions" in a new mode in "Xianyuanzhou Action".

At this time, "Xianyuanzhou Action" was at its peak, with the number of online players approaching 800,000.

This is the "momentum" that Lu Ze wanted to leverage!
