Old Feng suddenly stood up, startling Yun Si Ning.

He turned around and winked at the guy.

The other person immediately understood, turned around and walked out of the private room, closing the door behind them.

"what are you up to?"

Yun Sining also stood up, looking somewhat nervous.

"Please don't worry, young lady. I have no ill intentions."

Old Feng quickly explained.

"May I ask your surname, young lady?"

“I… my surname is Ning.”

Yun Si Ning made up something out of thin air.

"Oh, Miss Ning, I have a favor to ask of you."

He pointed to the jade bottle on the wooden table and said slowly.

"I hope you will sell this bottle of pills to me, young lady. I can offer you half the market price."

"ah?"

Yun Si Ning was taken aback, not expecting such a strong reaction from the other party, who was acting all mysterious just for this.

She didn't actually know the specific name and effects of the pill; she just saw that it belonged to a high-ranking person, so she took it out to prepare for sale.

"Mr. Feng, isn't what you're doing against the rules?"

"That's right."

Mr. Feng readily admitted it.

"Normally speaking, I am just an appraiser and cannot make transactions with customers privately."

"However, I just happen to need your Qingyun Pill, so I resorted to this desperate measure."

Qingyun Dan, so this kind of pill is called Qingyun Dan?

Yun Si Ning had a sudden inspiration and came up with a good idea.

"Old Master Feng, since you need this pill, you can just buy it from the Golden Pavilion in a few days. Why pay a higher price?"

"Oh, to be honest, young lady..."

Old Feng sighed softly.

"This level of pills is already rare, let alone these three of yours, which are the best of the best. They are practically priceless."

"Golden Pavilion will definitely put these pills up for auction. At that time, the price of these things will be much higher."

"With my limited resources, I can't compete with those children from wealthy families."

Good heavens, I'm just speechless!

Yun Si Ning understood immediately.

"Old Deng, so you're trying to get something for nothing?"

"Oh, it would fetch a much higher price at an auction. Would I be crazy to sell it to you cheaply?"

"What do you mean the price is half again as high? You already said there's no market for it, so wouldn't it fetch several times more at an auction!"

"Damn it, I almost got scammed by that old man."

Yun Si Ning was already internally raging, but on the surface she remained calm, only putting on a very troubled look.

Seeing her expression, Mr. Feng understood that she was not as innocent as she appeared.

He went on to say that.

"How about this, I'll offer double the price."

"Besides that, Miss Ning, if you have any other conditions, please feel free to make them. I will help as much as I can."

Hehe, that's exactly what I've been waiting to hear.

Yun Si Ning smiled.

“Selling it to Old Feng is not out of the question, but I do have a favor to ask.”

The old man's eyes lit up, and he quickly said...

"Miss Ning, please speak freely. I will do my best."

"Actually, it's not a big deal."

Yun Si Ning gently stroked the storage ring on her finger and said with a charming smile.

"As long as Elder Feng helps me appraise a batch of items, I will sell this Qingyun Pill to Elder Feng."

"Authentication? Of course."

"I have been in the Golden Pavilion for a hundred years and have seen countless magical treasures. I dare not say that I know all the rare treasures in the world, but I have some insights."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Elder Feng."

Yun Si Ning waved her hand, and in the next moment, one after another, white jade bottles appeared on the wooden table, more than forty in total, arranged in three rows.

"This is?"

"These are the pills I found in a ruin. Please have Elder Feng appraise their grade and what their effects are."

"remains?"

Old Feng was taken aback, but quickly regained his composure.

He is merely an appraiser; he observes without questioning, a principle he has adhered to for many years.

He picked up a jade bottle, uncorked it, and looked inside.

His expression changed very quickly.

He put it down and picked up another bottle.

At first, he was able to remain somewhat calm, but as he looked at each bottle, Old Feng involuntarily stood up.

"Smack—"

He gently placed a jade bottle on the table, his hands already trembling slightly.

"Miss...you found all of these in the secret realm?"

"Yes... Oh, what's wrong?"

Seeing his reaction, Yun Si Ning also became somewhat ambiguous.

"No, is such a big reaction necessary?"

To keep a low profile, she placed only one pill in each jade bottle.

"No...it's nothing."

Old Feng took several deep breaths before he calmed down.

"Although there are some things I shouldn't say, I still suggest that Miss Ning not show these pills to others, especially after leaving Fenglin City."

What do you mean?

"With the city lord in charge, no one dares to act recklessly in Fenglin City."

"But if someone finds out that you are carrying a treasure in the wild, they will surely be greedy and may harm you."

Hehe, you're wrong. You don't even need to bring these out for people to be greedy.

Yun Si Ning complained inwardly, thinking of a guy whose head had been beaten into a pig's head.

"I understand, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Feng."

Yun Si Ning nodded. She only wanted to have it appraised and didn't want to give it all away.

If it weren't for Xiao Qingning being by her side, she wouldn't have dared to show it to Old Master Feng so rashly.

Human greed is limitless; never test human nature.

She naturally understood this principle.

“Miss Ning’s pills are rather mixed. If you want a detailed analysis, I will need some time.”
