Yang Suiyi is a total homebody whose favorite pastime is writing novels on various websites. However, she inevitably abandons every single one, earning curses from countless readers while gleefully...
"How is it?" Rong's mother looked at him anxiously.
"It's alright now, our Zhuo'er can cultivate again. We no longer have to worry about the day when we, as parents, bury our children!"
"Hmm~ Really?" Rong's mother covered her mouth, and with tears in her eyes, she tried to find out again. The result made her so excited that she couldn't speak coherently.
"Hehe!" Taking a deep breath, Rong's father looked at the people below the stage.
“From this moment on, I, Zhuo’er, am no longer a piece of trash, but someone who can cultivate. I, Rong Jitian, hereby invite everyone to the Rong family’s celebratory banquet three days from now.”
"Whoosh!"
"My God, is this for real?"
"Judging from the way Immortal Rong is smiling, there's no mistake."
"It really has developed a spiritual root?"
The expressions of the people below the stage varied; some were stunned, some were puzzled, and some simply couldn't believe it. Your path of cultivation was predetermined from the moment you were born; you never thought it could be changed. That elixir…
Everyone had the same thought and looked towards Miss Ya on the stage.
"Miss Ya, do you still have any of these pills for sale?" The entire room fell silent as everyone wanted to hear this clearly.
"I don't know about that. If there is one, Xiaoya hopes everyone will come to the auction house."
"Yes, yes, definitely. Miss Ya, please inform us."
"Okay! Now please leave the venue in an orderly manner. See you next time." After saying that, he turned to leave.
"etc!"
"What's wrong?" Xiaoya turned around and looked at Rong Jitian suspiciously, her bright eyes sparkling.
"Could I meet the person who sells this pill?"
"This...the sir didn't say."
"Is that gentleman still in the venue? If so, could you please introduce me?"
"He should be there. I can ask him for you. If he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do." Xiaoya knew that becoming friends with the seller who auctioned the Life-Giving Pill would definitely be beneficial.
"Thank you very much, Miss Ya!" Mr. Rong said, bowing to her.
"Come with me. You can wait in the backstage area while I go ask for you." After saying that, she nodded, turned around, lifted the curtain with her slender hand, and went in first.
Watching Xiaoya's retreating figure, Rong's father turned to his family, his hardened expression softening into a gentle one. "You all go back and wait for me!"
"Father, I also want to meet my benefactor."
“Yes, I’d like to see him too,” Rong’s mother chimed in.
“You all go back first. If everyone wants to see him, what will people think of us? They'll think we're all just trying to curry favor. Zhuo'er, you're only just beginning to develop your spiritual root, you need to rest more. You should go back with your mother first. I'll go see that gentleman myself!”
"Alright then, Dad, you must be polite to them."
"You brat, do you think your father doesn't know any manners?" Rong's father gave Rong's third son a sharp rap on the head in an annoyed tone.
"I'm just afraid that Dad will bring out your usual arrogance again and scare people away."
"Ha! He's already defending someone before even meeting them, what a traitor." It's disheartening; a stranger can't even compare to one's own father.
"Alright, alright, let's head back now! It's a joyous occasion that Zhuo'er is able to cultivate. I'll also go back and help with the banquet three days from now." Madam Rong pulled her child along as they walked back outside the venue.
Rong's father also turned around and walked inside.
At this time, Suiyi had already arrived at the VIP reception room of the auction house, leisurely drinking tea and waiting for the manager to come and settle the accounts.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Sui Yi paused, looked up at the doorway, and replied, "Come in!"
The newcomers were the people in charge of the event, along with a handsome young man with a dignified bearing, striking eyes and eyebrows, and a tall, elegant figure.
Sui Yi stood up and looked at the two of them.
"Mr. Ci, hello! I am Zhang Rong, the manager here, and this is our boss."
"Hello!" Suiyi nodded politely to him.
"I didn't expect you to be so young, sir. You are truly a promising young man."
"Let's not talk about these formalities. I wonder what brings you here?" Sui Yi's words were anything but polite. It was so late, and she was already sleepy. She wanted to finish up as soon as possible and go back to sleep.
"Hehe! Then I won't waste any more words! Here is the price of the first pill, sir. After deducting the tax, the remainder is here. This is the transaction between you and the venue. I will pay you 30,000 high-grade spirit stones for each of the two pills. I wonder if you have any objections?"
"No need for 30,000 per pill. Just give me the price we agreed on before!" Sui Yi had calmed down now. Although money is never too much, with pills being so valuable, making money would be a piece of cake.
"Well... alright. Since you don't want that, sir, here's our venue pass and level one token. With this token, you can get a 50% tax reduction on any items you sell at the venue." The man gave Sui Yi two more tokens, which Sui Yi glanced at casually before accepting them.
"Alright! Then I'll accept it without hesitation!" After receiving the token, Sui Yi took the spirit stone and put it away. She looked at the man.
"I have other things to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer! If anyone wants to see me, just say it's not our time yet!"
"Alright! But sir, you definitely can't go out through the main entrance right now. I bet there are already people loitering outside the venue, just waiting for you to show up. Please follow me."
"Okay! Thank you!" Sui Yi didn't stand on ceremony and followed the man to the VIP room. The man walked to the side and tugged at a painting on the wall. A "whoosh" sound came from inside the room, and slowly, a wall opened, revealing a passage.
"This is a secret passage. If you follow this path, you'll reach the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion, where you can escape!"
"Thank you! See you again sometime." With that, she stepped aside from the man and walked forward.
"Yes! Sir, don't forget me if you sell any pills in the future. By the way, my name is Hua Qianjue." The man called out as he watched Sui Yi's retreating figure.
"Okay!" After saying that, Sui Yi quickened her pace and left. She hadn't expected to spend so much time at the venue, but the gains were still significant. At least she could see if the Life-Giving Pill could be improved further, and if she could develop a Beast Spirit Pill.
Sui Yi returned to the inn without incident. Upon seeing the bed, she subconsciously yawned and sat down. "Hmph!" she suddenly snorted, realizing she had forgotten something. She had left the two brothers, Da Jiao and Da Jiao, at the venue. The two had wanted to watch the excitement, so she had let them out, hoping they wouldn't get into trouble.
Sui Yi took off her shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and released her divine sense to see where the two brothers were so she could call them back.
The room was quiet. A flash of white light, and Ah Xing appeared on the ground. He rolled his eyes at Sui Yi, jumped onto the table, and started chewing on his "candy beans" without any concern for Da Jiao and Qiu Niu.
After being trained by me for some time, those two guys are no longer easily fooled by ordinary people, unless they are more powerful and more cunning than me.
Ah Xing has turned the honest beast into a cunning one, and Sui Yi is completely unaware of this.
