After introducing the Starry Eye Beads, the host said, "The reason we put this item first in the auction is because its auction requirements are somewhat special."

As the host said this, he glanced at Xiao Qingyin.

Xiao Qingyin was somewhat puzzled.

The host continued, "The seller doesn't want gold or silver, he only wants the antidote for the venom of the Seven Emotions Snake."

Xiao Qingyin immediately understood.

This dzi bead was made especially for her.

Among the people she knew, there were those who knew she was passionate about collecting dzi beads and was suffering from the venom of the Seven Emotions Snake.

There is only one.

That's the third princess.

The other party was clearly out of options, which is why they sought the antidote from her, their mortal enemy.

Since they couldn't say it openly, they used an auction to conduct the transaction.

Xiao Qingyin was a little puzzled.

This princess always tries to lure her with dzi beads; could it be that she has all the remaining beads from her string of dzi beads?

If that's the case, it would actually save a lot of trouble.

A commotion broke out in the arena.

"Although dzi beads are rare, the antidote for the Seven Emotions Snake venom is even more precious. The world is vast, where can anyone find the snake that bit him?"

"This seller is joking, trying to get people to risk their lives to catch snakes just because of a dzi bead."

"This is the capital city, not the snowy plateau. Coming here to look for the Seven Emotions Snake Venom is a sign of serious mental illness."

"..."

The host added, "If there is no antidote, a suppressant will suffice; the one with the better suppressant effect will win."

No one raised a sign inside the venue.

Only after the host repeatedly asked did Xiao Qingyin raise her sign.

"I don't have an antidote, only a suppressant, which can suppress an outbreak to once a month, but the reaction will be several times stronger."

The host breathed a sigh of relief.

The auction gavel was struck three times.

The deal was finalized.

Xiao Qingyin wasn't interested in the next items, but Yun Wanyin insisted on bidding for one for her, so she had no choice but to choose a necklace.

After the auction, when it was time to hand over the medicine and collect the dzi bead, Xiao Qingyin said to the shopkeeper, "I haven't finished making the medicine yet; it can only be delivered tomorrow."

The shopkeeper paused.

"Would it be possible to exchange prescriptions?"

Xiao Qingyin raised an eyebrow.

“You didn’t say you wanted the prescription when you were auctioning it off, you only said you wanted the medicine.”

The shopkeeper gave a wry smile.

"You should know what that person wants."

When gods fight, innocent bystanders suffer.

It's really tough for him, this fathead fish, to be stuck in the middle.

"A prescription is fine, but you'll need at least two Ser pearls."

Xiao Qingyin planned to test how many dzi beads the other party had.

"Could you please wait a moment?"

"no problem."

The shopkeeper immediately sent someone to contact the Third Princess.

Upon hearing this condition, Situ Yue was so angry that she overturned the table.

"You shameless woman! How dare you ask for such an exorbitant price!"

Are you sure you can find Serzhu so easily?

She had people search all over Dae Hee to find this one.

The Imperial Concubine casually remarked, "She didn't specifically ask for those few beads. Why don't you just give her the other beads?"

"Can she agree?"

"We shouldn't just destroy that Star Eye; it's such a simple thing."

Situ Yue calmed down instantly.

"You're right."

She was too concerned about the antidote for the Seven Emotions Snake, which caused her to lose her composure.

Xiao Qingyin's insistence on participating in the competition at the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, despite knowing it was inappropriate, is enough to show how much she cares about these pearls.

Without her, she might not have been able to find the suppressant medication.

But that Starry Eye Bead is unique; once it's destroyed, it's gone forever.

Xiao Qingyin should be even more nervous than her.

She handed over all the other beads she had collected to the palace servants.

“Send it to Zhenbaozhai.”

...

“Miss Xiao, the seller added six more beads.”

The shopkeeper presented the newly acquired jewel to Xiao Qingyin.

Xiao Qingyin glanced at it briefly and was a little disappointed.

None of them were from that string of dzi beads.

The other party either doesn't have any left, or they want to use the dzi bead to control her.

She preferred the latter.

Having a princess help her collect them is much easier than her searching for them herself.

She wrote down the prescription, handed it over with one hand, and took the dzi bead with the other.

The shopkeeper did not allow anyone to verify the authenticity of the recipe.

They both knew perfectly well that Xiao Qingyin couldn't possibly fool the Third Princess with a fake prescription.

That was deliberately feeding the enemy kills.

Back in the carriage, Xiao Qingyin took off the red string around her neck and strung the newly acquired dzi bead into it.

She now has a total of four dzi beads.

The three-eyed one was the one that the original owner of the body was holding after she transmigrated.

The six-eyed one was given to her by Bai Musheng.

The seven-eyed one was won in a competition at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet.

Then there's the Starry Eye, which I just acquired.

Five more are missing.

Yun Wanyin watched her movements and realized that the red string she was strung with was made of serpentine beads.

"So you like Serzhu this much."

She laughed.

"Why are you only wearing this one? Didn't you take six?"

"These four are from the same string, the others are not."

Xiao Qingyin explained.

Yun Wanyin took them over and compared them, and found that the texture of those four stones was indeed more consistent, and their texture was completely different from the other six stones.

"Do you only want this type of bead?"

Xiao Qingyin nodded.

Although more accurately, it was her original string of names.

"I'll keep an eye out for you from now on."

"thank you."

"You silly child, why are you thanking your mother?"

...

"Cousin, you're back?"

As soon as Xiao Qingyin returned to the Yun residence, Yun Zhao came to greet her.

“I was looking for you this afternoon, but you weren’t home. Grandmother said you went to the Treasure Pavilion, but I couldn’t find you there.”
