Chapter 16: Chapter 9 Part 2

With a trembling hand, Grandmaster Lu held onto her arm and said, “Miss, can I buy one of these pills from you?”

 

Yu Xinyue understands what she wants. "Grandmaster Lu, I can give you one for free. However, I need you to demonstrate it at the auction to prove its effect and authenticity. What do you think?" She said with a confident smile.

 

Grandmaster Lu nodded without hesitation. In the previous appraisal, she did not find the poisonous elements in those medicine pills. Taking these pills will not kill her. With a face like hers, nothing could make it worse. She will give it a try!

 

"Then may I ask Fellow Daoist, what are the prices of these pills?" Asked the worker of the auction house.

 

Touching her chin, she was quite confused to give it a price. She still doesn't know what the standard of this world for pills is. After thinking about it, she finally said with a smile: "Sir, how much do you think these pills should be sold for?"

 

Before the worker of the auction hall could say the price, Grandmaster Lu said, "No less than five medium grade spirit stones!"

 

The staff was startled when he heard the price, but Yu Xinyue did not respond. Those spirit stones are scattered in the mining area of ​​her space and are of little value for her. Indeed, ignorance is part of sin.

 

“This.. Grandmaster Lu, isn’t the price a bit too high? I'm afraid no one can afford this." He said uncertainty.

 

“Foolish! What do you know? If I can prove the effect of this pill, no woman will sit still when she hears the news. Maybe, the final price will exceed my expectations." Lu Hua's chapped lips curled up when she said this.

 

"Then, let's follow Grandmaster Lu's advice. How is it, sir?" Yu Xinyue asked.

 

Since the owner of those pills has made up her mind, he has nothing to say. The one who will be embarrassed when no one bids for their items is not him after all. The worker sighed, clasped his fists and said, "Then, the Prosperity Auction House will record the price." Lu Hua and Yu Xinyue both nodded.

 

After handing the jade bottle to the worker, Yu Xinyue planned to leave. However, the worker stopped her and said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. We haven't finalized the matters about the fee and other details."

 

Yu Xinyue stopped when she heard the words. Turning around, she said, "I will leave the matters regarding the auctioning to the Prosperity Auction House. For the fee, we will follow the usual price of the Prosperity Auction House."

 

The staff nodded with a smile. The auction fee is usually 3% of the final price. And these pills, if the starting price is five middle-grade spirit stones, then the fee itself exceeds their monthly income! Five medium grade spirit stones are equal to fifty million gold taels!

 

"I'll be back in five days to get the money. Thank you for your help, sir." After saying this, she turned around and walked out of the Prosperity Auction House.

 

Leaving the auction house with spring on her steps, Yu Xinyue felt that the world was not bad. At least it's a lot easier to make money than her original world. As for why she would come back after five days, it was because of the famous auction system of the Prosperity Auction House.

 

Looking at the previous reactions of Grandmaster Lu and the worker, she was sure that her pills could be classified as a rare item. In this case, the Prosperity Auction House will arrange a special auction for her pills.

 

It could take a few days of preparation, so that’s why she decided to come back in five days to collect her money. Not to mention, the Blue Cloud Sect’s disciple recruitment test will be held two days after she collects her money. The time was perfect.

 

After touring the capital for half a day, Yu Xinyue went to the restaurant to rest. Standing in front of a three-story building, she saw a nameplate written in golden ink hanging above the door.

 

“Drifting wind abode? The owner of this building might be a scholar. What a good name.” She nodded and walked into the building.

 

Within, the restaurant was packed with guests who were dining and chatting. At the lower floor the tables were full, while on the second floor, she could see some dining while some were leaving. For the third floor, it’s more likely to be a private room. There are rows of rooms at the third floor with the servants walking to and fro holding trays filled with foods and drinks.

 

She has no money and can only eat on the lower floor. If the silver is in pieces, she can pay with her silver. It's just that the money is not enough for her to go to a more expensive place to eat.

 

Feeling a little bit sad, she walked to the counter and said with cupped fists, “Greetings, shopkeeper. May I ask, is there any vacant table for me?”

 

The restaurant manager stopped calculating the abacus and looked at her. "Greetings, miss. Which floor do you want?" The manager asked with a business smile on his wrinkled face.

“The one at the lowest floor.” Yu Xinyue said.

 

The manager looked around the floor and said, “I’m sorry, Miss. The table on the lowest floor is full. How about the second floor?”

 

She looked at the dishes and shook her head in the end. The same food with a more expensive price. It’s not worth it. “There is no need. Thank you, shopkeeper.”

 

Yu Xinyue left the place unaware that a man was watching her from one of the windows on the third floor. The slender fingers tapped on the windowsill, and the corners of the man's lips curled up.

 

“Qi Zhen, found out what she is planning to do.” That man said with his deep voice.

 

Qi Zhen bowed with cupped fists before vanishing from the room.

 

……..

 

Yu Xinyue stayed in a small inn while waiting for the Blue Cloud Sect’s disciple recruitment  to be held. While waiting, she would occasionally go out for a walk, or spend most of the time refining pills or reading scriptures in her space. A few days passed quickly when she was busy, not noticing the news about the prosperity auction house auctioning the legendary pill was shaking the entire Cloud Dragon empire.

 

Because of this news, many cultivators came from other places. All of them were aiming for the pill either for using it for themselves or for researching the recipe. Two days before the auction, the disciples of the major sects arrived one by one. The originally prosperous capital has become more lively and full of excitement.

 

Whenever Yu Xinyue walked out from her room, she could hear the conversation about the Prosperity auction house. Some were curious from where the Prosperity auction house got those pills, some were curious which power house would end up buying those pills.

 

After hearing this, she smiled. It would be great if her pills’ auction was more hyped. Since she had nothing to do, she decided to visit the Hundred Herbs Hall. It is known as one of the three places with the most collection of spiritual plants. 

 

Walking into the Hundred herbs hall, she smelled the unique fragrance of medicinal plants. Smelling the fragrance, the corners of her lips lifted up. The place reminded her of her mentor's house.

 

She walked to the table where medicinal herbs and spiritual plants were placed. The table was covered with transparent barriers to prevent people from getting too close. The barrier also keeps the spiritual qi inside the spiritual herbs so the spiritual qi won’t dissipate even though it was displayed outside.

 

She looked at those spiritual herbs and plants. Most of those plants were available inside her space. Rubbing her chin, she was baffled. 

 

‘There is nothing new for her in this place, are those rare plants kept in a different place?’

 

She saw a young girl who had been looking at her, so she walked up to the young girl and said, "Greetings, Miss. May I ask, are there any rare spiritual plants for sale now?"

 

The girl looked at her suspiciously and said, "Yes. But the price is very high."

 

‘This Miss is wearing such simple clothes and she is so young. Does she have enough money to buy the rare spiritual plants?’

 

Yu Xinyue saw the girl's eyes, but ignored it and said, "How much?"

 

That young girl raised her chin and said, “For rare spiritual plants, Hundred Herbs Hall only trades with spiritual stones. If Miss doesn't know what a spiritual stone is, it is a transparent stone full of spiritual qi.  Only cultivators could use the spiritual stones.”

 

Yu Xinyue smiled when she heard the words, nodded and said, “Then, how much is it for the rare spiritual plants?”

 

“I told you, we only sell it for spirit stones. You are mortal without any cultivation, do you really have spirit stones?" The girl's voice raised several levels.
