“Miss Yingying, you don’t need to auction these pills. Set a price and announce it after the auction ends. Just limit it to ten bottles per day.”

"What I want to auction are these ten Truth Pills that I recently developed." Ji Jiuying took out the Truth Pills from her spatial storage and handed them to Yingying.

True Word Pill?

Could it be the long-lost Truth-Telling Pill that allows people to speak the truth?

Yingying stared in astonishment at the pill in her hand, carefully opened the lid, and then immediately closed it again.

Yingying snapped out of her daze and said to Ji Jiuying in an even more respectful tone, "Miss Feng, the auction is about to begin. I'll make arrangements right away. Why don't you go to the third floor first..."

"Manager Ying, the master requests Miss Feng to come to the fourth floor." Yingying was interrupted by the servant at the door before she could finish speaking.

Yingying was stunned. She knew that apart from the Holy Maiden of the Wuji Sect, not just anyone could go up to the fourth floor of her master's house.

It's truly unbelievable that they've made an exception and invited Miss Feng up.

However, what Yingying didn't know was that Ji Jiuying had already gone up to the fourth floor.

Qingling naturally followed Ji Jiuying, and Yingying immediately felt a little envious of Qingling.

"Miss, did you refine all those pills?" Qingling whispered in Ji Jiuying's ear.

"Yes, for your safety, you must keep this a secret." Ji Jiuying pretended to be serious.

“Miss, even if Qingling dies, she will keep her mouth shut.”

"Miss, when did you learn how to refine pills?" Qingling asked in confusion. She was always by her mistress's side, so how come she had no idea that her mistress knew how to refine pills?

"Do you remember the day Ji Fengyan beat me unconscious in the woodshed? Actually, I had a very long dream that day."

In my dream, an immortal took pity on me and taught me alchemy, medicine, and cultivation techniques...

Ji Jiuying had no choice but to make up a story to fool the girl, otherwise she would always be curious.

Qingling used to think that the pills her mistress gave her were all bought, but she never expected that her mistress was actually an alchemist.

Instantly, Qingling felt that her young lady was too amazing; even the people from Qi Yeyue Tower treated her with utmost respect.

After a moment of contemplation, Qingling nodded slightly. It seemed that the young lady had changed from that day on.

"It must be because you are too kind and good-hearted, Miss. The immortal couldn't bear to see you being bullied by evil people anymore."

Ji Jiuying: This girl is too easy to fool!

Soon, the servant escorted Ji Jiuying to the entrance of the fourth-floor stairwell.

Ji Jiuying led Qingling upstairs and was about to knock when the door opened automatically.

A delicate sandalwood scent wafts through the air.

"Xiao Jiu, come in!" Ye Qingchen's gentle and pleasant voice came from inside.

Ye Qingchen was sitting at a rosewood octagonal table by the inner window. On the table were white jade tea sets and spiritual tea. When he saw Ji Jiuying arrive, he gestured for her to sit next to him.

"Qingchen, aren't you bored here every day?"

Ji Jiuying sat down unceremoniously and discovered that the window offered a panoramic view of the area below, including the spot where she and the white lotus had just been.

With a gentle smile on his handsome face, Ye Qingchen poured her a cup of spiritual tea.

He wanted to say that he wasn't here every day, but he had just anticipated that she would come today.

Would you believe me if I said I enjoy watching other people's auctions?

"I believe you!" Of course she believed him. Who wouldn't love seeing money flowing into their pockets?

“It’s almost noon, Xiao Jiu probably hasn’t eaten yet, right?” Wen Chuyu looked at her profile, a gentle expression in his eyes.

"I don't... *gurgle gurgle*." Before I could even say the word "hungry," my stomach started growling.

Light and agile; ...

Ye Qingchen; ······

This really embarrassed Ji Jiuying! How could she have embarrassed herself in front of him twice in a row?

"Hehehe~ I do seem to be a little hungry!" Ji Jiuying rubbed her stomach and laughed awkwardly.

Ye Qingchen chuckled and summoned a shadow guard, giving him instructions.

The food was served quickly, and it tasted just like last time. Ji Jiuying ate while looking downstairs.

Meanwhile, the auction downstairs was about to begin, and amidst everyone's anticipation, a woman in a colorful silk dress slowly appeared on the auction stage.

She was already a stunning beauty, but under the lights she looked even more captivating.

"Quiet down, everyone. The auction is about to begin. I am your auctioneer today, Yingying." A sweet and bright voice, like that of a nightingale, rang out, and the crowd erupted in excitement.

"Yingying is so beautiful!"

"Yingying, I love you!"

"Yingying is the most beautiful~"

The men below gasped and whistled, but Yingying smiled and waved her hand, and the crowd gradually quieted down.

"I have some good news for everyone. Today there will be an auction of a long-lost top-grade elixir. As for what kind of elixir it is, you'll find out soon enough." Yingying smiled mysteriously, which drew another round of cheers from the audience.

"Little Jiu, may I have the honor of knowing about this long-lost elixir first?" Ye Qingchen also became curious.

Ji Jiuying didn't even look at it, and directly took out a bottle of Truth Pills and gave it to Ye Qingchen, "This bottle of pills is for Qingchen~ Consider it a way of repaying you for treating me to such a delicious meal."

Ye Qingchen scoffed, "Didn't I already say? Xiao Jiu can come here to eat anytime she likes."

"That's so embarrassing." Ji Jiuying then turned to look at Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Jiu, don't move!"

He slowly leaned closer and gently stroked Ji Jiuying's lips.

Ji Jiuying was stunned for a moment. What was he doing?

"You got rice on your face~" Ye Qingchen showed the rice in his hand to Ji Jiuying, who blushed and awkwardly turned her head to look at the audience.

Qingling covered her mouth and chuckled behind her back. Could there be something going on?

Ye Qingchen then picked up the bottle, opened it, and smelled it, a look of surprise on his face.

The news that Qi Yeyue Tower would be auctioning long-lost elixirs spread quickly.

And more and more people are coming to Qi Yeyue Tower!

Second-floor private rooms.

"Lianxin, do you usually say that I spoil you too much?" The woman in the white dress had a dangerous glint in her phoenix eyes.

Thinking of the woman from earlier, she had tested her and discovered that the woman had no spiritual power whatsoever.

If she hadn't been observant and noticed something amiss with the manager and servant of Qi Yeyue Tower, she would have slapped that brat to death long ago.

How dare a useless person with no spiritual power talk back to her like this? Does she really think she can still be so arrogant once she leaves Qi Yeyue Tower?

"Miss, Lianxin knows she was wrong!" Lianxin knelt on the ground with her head down.

She often bullied others, taking advantage of being the maid of the second young master of the Five Extremes Sect, and even Qingqing turned a blind eye.

I didn't expect to run into such a tough opponent today.

Lian Qingqing's anger did not subside. Apart from her elder sister Lian Qingcheng, no one had ever dared to speak to her like that. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years.

Anyone who offends Lian Qingqing will suffer endless torment, even if they die.
