Bexia stayed in the city of Dayan for nearly half a month. Lady Cloud's things had already been collected up to ninety percent, and some of them were of the rare and valuable type, either difficult to find or not available in ordinary shops.

Among them, there were more than a dozen rare and precious items that would appear at the auction of the Dayan Chamber of Commerce. This made Bexia have to plan to participate in this auction again. As for the other things, it would depend on luck. If she didn't want it, she could go to a larger dimensional world to search for them.

Five hundred million dimensional coins were spent in half a month, of which eighty percent were spent on the purchase of rare and precious items. As for the remaining amount, it was spent on purchasing some other things, which can be considered as normal expenses.

Similarly, Bexia was once again amazed by Luoningxian's level of foodie-ness. Such a small loli could actually eat at a grand restaurant until she was blacklisted and prohibited from entering. Especially on the first day when Bexia brought Luoningxian to the entrance of this top-rated restaurant in Dayan, the waiter's expression was so shocked that Bexia still remembered it vividly.

Fortunately, Bexia took out the dual-color card of the Mighty Group, otherwise they would have been kicked out. When they asked why, it turned out that these two little ones had eaten here before and didn't have money to pay. Although someone eventually compensated for it, the fact that they could eat up the emergency food was terrifying enough. It had long been deeply embedded in the hearts of every employee here. It was like a ferocious beast unleashed.

But there was nothing that money couldn't solve. Bexia had money, so even buying this restaurant was doable. With a big wave of her hand, she made this restaurant deplete its emergency food once again...

In half a month, Luoningxian's "reputation" had spread throughout the city of Dayan, in restaurants big and small. Anyone who saw her felt "fear in their hearts".

These things aside for now, after all, as long as there was money and the desire to eat, it was not a difficult problem, right?

After half a month of anticipation, the Dayan Auction that many people were looking forward to officially began. Luckily, Bexia had made reservations before, otherwise it would have been difficult to get in.

Similarly, Bexia also discovered that the dual-color card given by the Mighty Group was really useful. Even in the Dayan Chamber of Commerce, holding this card brought them the treatment befitting a VIP. They were specifically led to the front and seated in the VIP area, which saved Bexia the trouble of going to the back with the crowd and playing the "standing ticket" game.

The auction of the Dayan Chamber of Commerce was even more spectacular than the one Bexia had participated in the virtual network world. At least it was three times larger than before. The auction lasted for a full three days, and a large number of valuable auction items flowed out from here.

The rare and precious items that Bexia needed were not cheap, but compared to the money she had, it was not a problem. As long as they appeared, she immediately bid on and won them. Although these things were precious, they were not considered much in the face of true treasures.

The items that appeared in the first two days were considered rare and valuable, but the real highlight was on the last day. At the beginning of the event, Bexia noticed that there were significantly fewer people than the previous two days. Those people in the back were nowhere to be seen. Those who could continue to participate in this auction were either sitting in the seats or in the private rooms upstairs.

"Next up is the first auction item, also considered the highlight of today, a high-grade Sovereign's spear, starting price at five million dimensional coins!"

The auctioneer waved his hand and several burly men carried a weapon rack onto the auction platform. On top of it was a dark red spear, emitting astonishing energy fluctuations. Although it was not impossible to find a monarch weapon outside, the quality of this spear surpassed any others in circulation.

Starting with an advanced monarch spear, only someone as wealthy as the Dayan Trading Company could afford such a luxury. If this spear were placed outside, it would undoubtedly be a treasure that attracts attention.

"Six million!"

"Six million and five hundred thousand!"

"..."

The bidding continued, and the advanced monarch weapon was considered a top-tier item, attracting many contenders. The price quickly exceeded ten million, eventually being auctioned off to a middle-aged man with the appearance of a frail scholar for twelve million yuan.

Subsequent items appeared one by one. Bexia's main purpose for coming here today was to acquire a specific main material, which was one of the most important things according to the instructions given by Lady Cloud.

"Next, we have a precious medicine that can only be found in the extremely cold Yin regions. It has the effect of refining muscles and bones, and if consumed by a practitioner of the ice or Yin energy, it could potentially break through a level..."

As the auctioneer spoke, a champion-level attendant approached, carrying a blue crystal flower reminiscent of ice crystals. He opened the protective cover, and a chilling aura swept through the entire venue, giving Bexia the sensation that even their soul could freeze.

"This is the Yin Cold Crystal Flower, which matures once every ten thousand years. This one has lasted for thirty thousand years and possesses extraordinary effects, far surpassing ordinary monarch-level medicines. It has even greater effects on practitioners of cold and Yin energy, refining their physical qualities. Starting bid is thirty million yuan!"

"Now, the auction begins!"

"To think it's such a rare treasure! I bid forty million yuan!"

"As an ice spirit, if I obtain this rare treasure, I can definitely make further progress."

"I bid forty-five million!"

"Forty-six million..."

"Forty-eight million..."

...

"Seventy million!"

The price kept rising, leaving Bexia speechless. They recalled the proof of several million yuan they had obtained through the pre-registration. It was nothing compared to the current situation. They had thought that five hundred million yuan was a lot, but in this place, it seemed insignificant.

The Yin Cold Crystal Flower was one of the main materials Bexia had been waiting for. It was extremely rare and nearly impossible to find on their own. Moreover, this one had lasted for thirty thousand years, making its effects even stronger. Bexia could not afford to give up.

"With a bid of seventy-five million, I wonder if anyone can offer a higher price?" The auctioneer scanned the venue, casually glancing at the upper level. Such a level of item would surely attract the attention of the second level. As for the third level, unless it was one of the last few hidden treasures, they wouldn't bother with anything else.

"One billion!" Lady Cloud, who was sitting on Bexia's shoulder, spoke up. Although her voice was not loud, it resounded clearly in everyone's ears.

A direct increase of one-third of the price was a significant leap. The elderly bidder who had offered seventy-five million had an unpleasant expression. He could only go up to eighty million at most, and competing with one billion was simply impossible. Although he felt bitter and resentful, he understood that this was the Dayan Trading Company, a place that valued only money.

"The guest at No. 3461 has bid one billion. Is there any higher bidder?"

The auctioneer remained composed. As an auctioneer, he had seen it all—bids in the hundreds of millions, even billions. He had even dealt with items that sold for tens of billions.

"One billion, first time!"

...

"One billion, second time!"

To be honest, one billion was already beyond the true value of this rare item. Though not by much, it had surpassed what most people could afford. As for the higher-class VIPs, there probably weren't many who saw its worth. There were many things in cultivation that could wash away impurities or strengthen bones, and unless one practiced the techniques of frigid ice or extreme Yin, one could easily afford something even more precious with one billion.
