She was the top alchemist from a prominent ancient martial arts family in the 21st century. With one transmigration, she found herself in the body of the discarded eldest daughter of a general'...
Looking at the growing crowd below, Lian Qingqing knew without a doubt that they had come for this long-lost superior elixir.
Those called superior pills are definitely of the Heavenly grade or above. Heavenly grade pills are already very rare, and these are pills that have been lost for a long time. Who wouldn't be tempted?
However, what kind of elixir is this long-lost elixir being mentioned on stage?
No matter what kind of elixir it is, she is determined to get one.
"Alright, now let's auction off the first item..."
The items auctioned earlier were all ordinary pills, spiritual techniques, and magical artifacts, which were snatched up by the people in the lobby on the first floor.
The noble families and royalty in the second-floor side rooms and the third-floor VIP rooms were not interested in these things.
Ji Jiuying's eyelids were drooping as she watched. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure. It was none other than the Third Prince Jun Linyu, with the Fifth Prince Jun Linfeng beside him.
"Wow! Is that the Third Prince?"
"The Third Prince is truly a handsome and dignified man, hahaha."
Everyone kept praising the Third Prince, but ignored the Fifth Prince beside him. Although they were brothers, the outsiders' opinions made Jun Linfeng feel that he was worlds apart from his third brother.
Coupled with the favoritism shown by his father and mother, an inscrutable emotion flashed across his eyes.
Seemingly sensing something, Jun Linyu looked up and met Ji Jiuying's gaze through the gauze curtain.
I don't know what material these curtains are made of, but you can see out from inside, while from outside you can only see a blurry figure.
Jun Linyu withdrew his gaze and walked up to one of the "Tianzi" rooms on the third floor.
Inside the room was an elderly man, nearly sixty years old, whose fingers tapped rhythmically on the coffee table, his eyes gleaming with a deep and sharp light.
Behind him stood a figure shrouded in black robes, revealing only a pair of sinister and eerie eyes.
"Grandpa!"
"Grandpa!"
Two voices came from the doorway, and the shrewdness in the old man's eyes vanished, replaced by a kind and amiable smile.
"Yu'er, Feng'er, come and sit here."
"The Ghost Doctor?" Jun Linyu was surprised to see the Ghost Doctor there as well. Could it be that he was also there for the elixir?
The man known as the Ghost Doctor looked at Jun Linyu and the others and nodded.
"Grandpa, is it true that a long-lost elixir has reappeared in the world?"
Upon hearing the news, Jun Linyu rushed over without stopping, leaving Fenji at the entrance of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to search for news of Ji Jiuying.
Grand Tutor Liang stroked his beard and said, "The information about Qi Yeyue Tower is absolutely correct. Look at those people down there, all eager to make a move."
Jun Linyu glanced around, pondered for a moment, and kept calculating in his mind that he must bid for one to give to Ji Jiuying.
Who wouldn't love a long-lost elixir? Alchemists, needless to say, love them even more!
After learning that Feng Wan was Ji Jiuying, he confirmed that Ji Jiuying was the one who helped Wen Chuyu reconnect her meridians, and those Heaven-grade pills must have been made by her.
To verify these suspicions, he checked her whereabouts every day during this period. He even sent Ji Fengyan away when she came. Combining all these factors, he regretted it constantly, regretting why he couldn't have been more patient.
He also harbored resentment towards Ji Fengyan, because if it weren't for her, he certainly wouldn't have broken off his engagement with Ji Jiuying so quickly.
He recalled Yan'er's actions against Ji Jiuying in the secret realm, and wondered if Yan'er had indeed killed Ji Jiuying when they left the secret realm. Why was the man in red so certain that it was her?
All of this made him suspect that Yan'er had known all along that Xiao Jiu was Ji Jiu Ying!
Who wouldn't love a long-lost elixir? Alchemists, needless to say, love them even more.
"Yu'er, you acted impulsively about the arena!" Grand Tutor Liang said, taking a sip of tea.
Jun Linyu naturally knew which matter Liang Taifu was referring to.
It was nothing more than offending Ji Chenyuan because of his proposal to marry Ji Jiuying.
However, he did not regret what he did that day. He felt that Ji Jiuying rejected him because the annulment of the engagement had made her lose face. He believed that once she calmed down, he could give her a pill and she would definitely change her mind.
As for Ji Fengyan, he will naturally marry her as well, but he will deal with this matter after he has investigated the matter thoroughly.
"Grandpa, Lin Yu knows what she's doing!"
Given Ji Fengyan's insistence on marrying no one but him, even if he were to marry Ji Jiuying as his primary wife and she were to become his secondary wife, she would still be willing. Even if she wasn't willing, he would always find a way to make her willing.
"Now we're going to auction off the last and most important item," Yingying said slowly.
The scene was in complete chaos thanks to Yingying's antics, and a murmur of disapproval rippled through the audience.
Upon hearing that it was her own pill, Ji Jiuying became very interested.
"Oh dear, Miss Yingying, stop keeping me in suspense!"
"Exactly! I can't wait any longer."
Yingying waved her hand, and the entire room fell silent instantly. "The grand finale is... a Heavenly-grade True Word Pill!"
"A Heavenly-grade Mantra Pill? Isn't that a pill that disappeared almost thirty years ago?"
"Yes, who exactly created this?"
"Heavenly-grade pills are already rare, let alone lost heavenly-grade pills."
"Now that you mention it, I do remember that Ji Jiuying and Wen Chuyu were both taking Heaven-level pills during the genius competition that day, and people were saying that Wen Chuyu was actually cured by Ji Jiuying!"
Think about it, even the students from Star Academy shook their heads after seeing Wen Chuyu, but Ji Jiuying cured him. Do you think her medical skills and alchemy abilities are lacking?
"So you suspect..."
"······"
At this point, murmurs rose and fell, some excited, some skeptical, some simply watching the spectacle...
Jun Linyu listened to the discussions below and narrowed his eyes. If it was true, then he would win her over no matter what!
The possessiveness and determination in his eyes grew stronger.
Yingying slowly opened the bottle on the stage, and a rich fragrance of elixir instantly leaked out, filling the entire venue.
"This fragrance... this pill must be about 80% pure, right?"
I think it's seven points or six points!
"After all, even Heaven-grade level 8 pills are very rare in the Cangyue Kingdom..."
Yingying smiled and said, "Everyone, there are ten True Word Pills with full purity inside. All the pills have been appraised by our Qi Yeyue Tower before being sent up for auction, so please feel free to bid."
The starting bid is 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. Bidding begins now!
This statement exploded like a bomb in the auction house!
A sudden uproar erupted, shocking everyone present! Max level? That's only level ten, wow!
At this moment, a predatory glint appeared in the eyes of the ghost doctor in the room, clearly showing his great interest in the pills on the platform.
However, it wasn't just her; everyone on the third floor who was eyeing the pill wanted to snatch it.
"I'll offer 30,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
"forty thousand!"
"110,000 high-grade spirit stones."
"······"
As Ji Jiuying listened to the bidding below, the more people shouted, the happier she became.
The first one to be called was for 900,000 high-grade spirit stones!
