After counting the gains from this auction, Lu Xuan visited the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce and purchased some necessities for cultivation at the Star Plucking Building.
Hong Qinghai had been temporarily left in the shop to assist Wen Qian.
As the shop's reputation gradually grew, Wen Qian alone found it somewhat overwhelming to handle everything, so having additional help was beneficial.
Returning to the Thunderfire Star Cave alone, Lu Xuan, carrying a significant amount of money, approached the outside of the formation.
His spiritual sense swept over the area, and together with the sporadic appearances of the Void Nightmare Eye above, he confirmed there were no anomalies before finally opening the formation.
"After this auction, our shop's reputation in the Star Plucking Building should expand considerably," he said.
"Fortunately, there were already many fine treasures inside, so the new cultivators attracted won't be disappointed."
