Upon hearing that a pill had been auctioned for over 900,000 high-grade spirit stones, Qingling's eyes and mouth widened in astonishment!

However, she wasn't the only one who was surprised; even Ji Jiuying was stunned!

Then another thought popped into my head...

Almost every pill fetched a million high-grade spirit stones, and soon only one remained, while the atmosphere below grew increasingly heated.

"Six hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

A delicate, sweet voice, like a nightingale singing in a valley, exceptionally charming and melodious, came from the second floor.

It's so touching that you can't help but feel sorry for her and don't want to compete with her anymore.

Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow. Which innocent white lotus is she? A sly glint flashed in her eyes.

"Qingchen, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Ye Qingchen's attention was always on her, and the cunning glint in her eyes naturally did not escape his notice.

"Little Jiu, you say it~"

"that is······"

Even those ahead of Qingqing didn't manage to grab it; this time, they'll have to use their trump card.

However, not everyone buys into her approach.

"Six hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."

A discordant voice broke in, elevating the auction to an even higher level.

"Hmm~ This voice sounds so much like Feng Yi from the Feng family!"

"It seems so. I saw Feng Ling enter the 'Heavenly Class' room just now."

"Six hundred and fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones." A voice came from another private room.

"Seven hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!" Feng Ling said coldly.

"Seven hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones plus one amethyst!" Lian Qingqing said through gritted teeth.

Seven hundred thousand was her limit; she couldn't possibly come up with any more all at once. So she had to grit her teeth and bet the purple gold stone she had worked so hard to acquire.

Fortunately, after she shouted, the hall fell silent, and no one bid against her.

Perhaps the wealthy people had already used up all the pills they had previously taken, and since Qi Yeyue Tower couldn't offer credit, they were able to get some left over.

"Amethyst?" This was the first time Ji Jiuying had ever heard of it.

"Amethyst contains a subtle yet powerful purple spiritual energy. When used to inlay weapons, its spiritual power will be a level higher than before."

"However, amethyst is not easy to find," Ye Qingchen explained patiently.

Ji Jiuying looked like she understood.

Lian Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. Hehe~ The Feng family is nothing special.

Just as Lian Qingqing was feeling smug, Yingying on the stage received Ye Qingchen's order. She looked up at the fourth floor and said, "Congratulations to the Feng family on the third floor, number two of the Heavenly Rank, for winning the last True Word Pill."

As soon as Yingying finished speaking, everyone on the field was stunned!

Wasn't it the woman in the second-floor private room who bought the last True Word Pill? How did it become the Feng family in room number two on the third floor?

Even Feng Ling herself was stunned!

"Miss Yingying, are you mistaken? I was the last one to bid!" Even Qingqing was a little angry.

"Miss in room number four on the second floor, I'm pretty sure I haven't made a mistake. Although you offered the highest price, I just received news that the original owner of the Heavenly-grade True Word Pill said he couldn't give the pill to you. Please understand."

"Therefore, the last True Word Pill should belong to the Feng family, number two in the Heavenly Palace on the third floor," Yingying explained.

After hearing this, Lian Qingqing's face turned green with anger. She snorted, "Just based on your one-sided story, you're saying that the Truth Pill can't be sold to me? Do you think I'll believe you?"

"You didn't conspire together to bully me, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Yingying's face turned cold. "Second floor, room number four. If I'm not mistaken, you must be Miss Lian Qingqing, the second young master of Tianmen Mountain."

If you don't want to be permanently banned from Qi Ye Yue Tower or any other properties under its name, then please watch your words and take back what you just said!

"Qi Yeyue Tower has been established for more than ten years and has never cheated its customers."

Just as Lian Qingqing was about to say something, she was interrupted by the people below!

"That's me~ As expected of a concubine's son, how could I be considered respectable?"

"That's right~ I heard that during the selection of the Holy Maiden, they even used underhanded tricks to try and poison her elder sister, Lian Qingcheng..."

Upon hearing this, Lian Qingqing was furious, but she dared not retort. After all, Qi Yeyue Tower was a powerful organization, and continuing the conflict would only do her harm.

Lian Qingqing regained some of her composure, but the anger in her heart was hard to quell.

"Miss Yingying, I was rude just now. I hope you won't take it to heart. But... I wonder if you could tell me who the original owner of this pill is, what grudge they have against me, Lian Qingqing, and why they are targeting me?"

Lian Qingqing's face was gloomy, and she made a sound that didn't match her expression.

"I'm sorry, Qi Yeyue Tower will not disclose the seller's information!" Yingying said with a smile.

Lian Qingqing almost couldn't breathe, and could only grit her teeth and swallow it down.

Yingying was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore.

"Alright, the last pill has been auctioned off. Don't be discouraged if you didn't get one!"

"Starting tomorrow, Qi Yeyue Tower will release ten bottles of Heaven-grade pills for sale every day." Yingying's words had barely faded when another uproar erupted below.

“Miss Yingying, that’s true, but we rogue cultivators without any background definitely can’t compete with those who have the strength and connections.”

"Yeah, we should just buy some Earth-grade pills instead."

"······"

"Don't be discouraged, everyone! Everyone can buy the pills! We sell them every day by drawing lots."

Each person can only get one number. The number you draw determines which bottle of pills you can buy. Of course, if you don't like it, you can give it up or transfer it to someone else.

Yingying explained.

Everyone suddenly realized that this was a good method, as it would give everyone a chance to buy top-grade pills.

The auction ended, and everyone left.

Some were happy while others were sad. The happiest of all were Feng Ling and Feng Yi. They had thought they had no chance with each other, but unexpectedly, they managed to buy the last pill at the lowest price.

When most of the people had left, Ji Jiuying said goodbye to Ye Qingchen and went to the back hall to find Yingying.

"Miss Feng, you've arrived!" Yingying said respectfully.

"Hmm~ Come and collect my spoils." Ji Jiuying said, handing the crystal card to Yingying.

Yingying took the crystal card and swiped it gently.

"Miss Feng, the True Word Pill was auctioned for a total of 15 million high-grade spirit stones, and all of it has been transferred to the crystal card. Please check it."

Qingling was stunned again upon hearing this astronomical figure. She pinched her thigh hard. This was real, not a dream. Her young lady was definitely a rich woman.

Ji Jiuying was secretly delighted. She hadn't expected money to be so easy to make. If anyone else heard her say that, they would be furious.

He took the crystal card and put it directly into his spatial storage. "No need to check it. I trust Qi Yeyuelou."

Then Ji Jiuying called the shopkeeper and brought Qingling to the shop she had rented.

Because she didn't have time to come every day, she provided the design drawings and asked the shopkeeper to help supervise the construction.
