Once the purchase amount is agreed upon, it's time to discuss the purchase price.

Regarding the price of Yuan-grade pills, Jin Shangyue followed the prices set by the five Yuan-level alchemists.

In this regard, Jinshangyue did not offer any further discounts.

After all, she had already given Jiu Hui a discount on the amount of semi-immortal-grade pills.

When other top forces come looking for her later, regardless of which force she is, she will only offer a purchase amount of two to three.

However, since Jin Shangyue's needs were somewhat different from those of the other five people, she made a slight adjustment to the price.

There are two ways to purchase. One way is for Jiu Hui to provide the materials and Jin Shang Yue to refine them. In that case, they will charge half of the original purchase price as a processing fee.

You can use various resources such as energy stones, spirit stones, crystal cores, and spirit plants for exchange and trading.

Another way to buy is to purchase the finished product directly from her. Jinshangyue will use various resource ores as the main trading commodity.

Two hours had passed since the representatives of the Nine Association finalized the purchase prices for various types and grades of pills.

With the auction about to begin, the representatives from the nine associations decided not to delay any longer.

Ke Chong took the lead and said, "The auction is about to start, so let's not delay Yue Zun's trip to the auction. Let's go back first, draft the contract according to the cooperation plan we just discussed, get the presidents of each association to sign and stamp it, and then send it to Yue Zun for signature."

Jinshangyue: "Okay."

After seeing off Ke Chong and his group of nine, Jin Shangyue and Ji Chaoyun went through the private passage to the auction venue.

Ji Chaoyun did not go to her own private room, but followed Jin Shangyue to her private room.

Upon entering the private room, Jin Shangyue clearly sensed that many divine senses were scanning this place.

However, almost all of them were isolated by the isolation and defense shields in the private rooms, making it impossible to spy or eavesdrop.

Only a few escaped the net, because their cultivation was too strong, and their divine sense directly penetrated the isolation and defense barrier of the private room.

The privacy protection features of Jiuhui are exceptionally good, even arguably the best in the world.

However, it cannot completely prevent the world's most powerful beings from spying on it.

In other words, there are Heavenly Realm experts who follow the path of supernatural abilities, Chaos God Realm experts who follow the path of spiritual cultivation, and Extreme Martial Emperor experts who follow the path of martial arts cultivation.

The auctions held by the Nine Associations invite only the world's top powerful figures.

It wouldn't be surprising if several Supreme Martial Emperors, Heavenly Realm experts, and Chaos God Realm experts personally attended the auction.

However, apart from Ji Beiyao, who was pretending to be weak while hiding his true strength, no other top experts came to participate yesterday.

Several people came today, and Jin Shangyue knew that they were attracted by the semi-immortal-grade pills that appeared last night.

Jin Shangyue and Ji Chaoyun sensed it immediately. They exchanged a glance, pretended not to notice, and casually sat down.

But the powerful divine sense had already followed the eavesdropping divine senses and probed over there.

Besides Ji Beiyao, there are seven other people, two women and four men.

Ji Chaoyun communicated with Jin Shangyue in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"It is Ji Beiyao, the head of the Ji family, one of the seven great families; Tantai Xuan, the patriarch of the Tantai family; Shaoling Jintian, the patriarch of the Shaoling family; and Xue Ci, the patriarch of the Xue family."

"Empress of the Star Empire, Di Jinhuang; Ancestor of the Longevity Empire, Yu Jiuming; Dean of the First Academy, Chen Si; Ancestor of the Pill Sect, Run Fan."

"It seems they're here for the semi-immortal-grade pills, and for you, Yueyue."

A glint of malice flashed in Jin Shangyue's eyes, and she smiled faintly: "Very good."

The more lively the better, ideally attracting all the influential figures and voices.

This joint auction of the nine organizations is a rare opportunity to bring together the top forces from all sides, so she naturally wants to seize everything that can be utilized and exploited.

That way, her trip won't be in vain.

Just as undercurrents were swirling among the various parties, familiar, carefree laughter rang out in the main hall.

Ke Weisheng changed into a different style of red casual suit, and walked onto the stage with a bright smile and a dashing demeanor.

"Distinguished guests, we meet again. Today we have fifteen lots to be auctioned, and there may be more later. Yesterday's competition was fierce and the battle was incredibly exciting. I wonder if today will be even more exciting and interesting."

"However, I know one thing: today's auction items will be even rarer and more valuable than yesterday's. I hope everyone can find items they like and are satisfied with."

"Alright, let's move on to the first item..."

Jin Shangyue did not make a move; her main purpose and objective for coming to the auction has now been achieved.

As for these auction items, she will only make a purchase if she finds something she really likes and finds suitable.

However, news arrived that the patriarchs of various families who had rushed over for the semi-immortal-grade pills could no longer sit still.

News has spread that the semi-divine grade pills that appeared at the auction were most likely taken from VIP room number two on the third floor.

Moreover, all the representatives of the Nine Associations gathered together and went to see one of the distinguished guests.

Ultimately, all the information gathered pointed to private room number two on the third floor.

However, when the patriarchs of each family peered into the second private room on the third floor, they all frowned, filled with suspicion.

There were only two young kids in that private room. Could they possibly have semi-divine grade pills?

This doesn't look like it at all.

However, since everyone has come all this way for a piece of news, they won't give up easily.

They all kept a close eye on Jin Shangyue and Ji Chaoyun, and immediately sent people to investigate their information.

Soon, the two men's information was in the hands of various bigwigs.

Ji Beiyao was the fastest among them.

He directly instructed the private butler arranged by Jiu Hui to go to Jin Shang Yue's private room and extend an invitation for a meeting.

Jin Shangyue was not surprised when she heard Rongxu's report.

After all, she had already met Ji Beiyao last night.

However, it wasn't face-to-face, but rather through divine consciousness.

The Ji family occupies the Spirit Realm and primarily focuses on martial arts cultivation.

Ji Beiyao is the current head of the Ji family, having been in power for over three hundred years. He is one of the most feared and least desirable figures in the eyes of the world.

The Ji family rarely participates in conflicts between external forces, but if anyone dares to provoke the Ji family, Ji Beiyao usually doesn't take action unless absolutely necessary, and when he does, it's a brutal act of annihilation.

We'll eradicate them completely, leaving not a single bloodline, not even a single blade of grass.

Therefore, most external forces rarely provoke the Ji family and treat them as if they don't exist.

For nearly a century, Ji Beiyao has rarely appeared in front of outsiders.

They usually act with a low profile, and when they stop being low-key, it's usually because they're preparing to do something big.

Therefore, there is very little information about Ji Beiyao personally.

Jin Shangyue did not refuse this time, but she did not intend to go over on her own initiative.

"Go and tell them that if Patriarch Ji wants to have a gathering, they can come over here."

He nodded in agreement and left the private room.

Ji Chaoyun knew that all of this was part of Jin Shangyue's plan, and that she had already made plans and arrangements in mind, so she did not interfere or say anything.

They simply accompanied him with great discretion, without interfering, meddling, or stealing the limelight.
