While they were talking, they came to a private room on the second floor.
"This is the flower cards from our Huabaolou. They come in three colors: black, gray and white. The black one represents the most noble. From now on, everything you buy at Huabaolou will be discounted by 10%. And there are exclusive private rooms like this." The flower housekeeper introduced the uses of the flower cards.
"Okay, thank you, Butler Hua." Sang Jin thanked Butler Hua and found a chair to sit down. There was a number on the back of the flower card, and it said 12.
"Butler Hua, the number twelve behind your flower cards represents, am I the twelfth person to own a black flower card?" Sang Jin had learned these characters when she was young.
Housekeeper Hua was surprised. Most people wouldn't recognize that character. It was a number created by their eldest daughter. How did such a young girl know it? This was clearly her first time at Huabao Tower.
"Yes, Miss Sang." Butler Hua came back to his senses and nodded with a smile. He wanted to quickly tell the eldest lady about this matter.
"That's okay. Go ahead and get busy." Sang Jin said.
"Okay. If you have any questions, please tell the maid behind you." Butler Hua smiled and left.
Li Jingyu sat next to her. There was a maid from the Hua family in the private room at their disposal. The maid stood on Sang Jin's side.
After Butler Hua left, a young woman stopped him.
"Miss! Miss Sang has already accepted the flower cards." Butler Hua reported to Miss Hua.
"Okay, it's none of your business. Be courteous when you see her next time." Hua Li instructed the housekeeper.
"Okay, miss. And... Miss Sang can understand the numbers on the back of your flower cards." The flower housekeeper retreated respectfully.
First- and second-grade pills are common, but sixth-grade pills are not so easy to come by. This girl immediately offered three top-grade pills. It was also the most beloved anti-aging pill by women. Regardless of whether she was an alchemist or had a powerful alchemist master, she had to establish a good relationship with her.
Besides, it's fascinating that this girl can understand the numbers she wrote. Maybe she made the elixir herself. That's what's written in the novel.
She has been here for ten years and finally met someone who can talk to her.
At this moment, the auction had already begun. Sang Jin had already bought a robe, spending two million spirit stones. The robe was a pink gauze garment that adjusted to the wearer's body shape. It could withstand ten attacks from those at the Jindan realm and below.
"The Phoenix Feather Sword was found in the Hua family's storehouse. Although it is a broken sword, the material of this sword is very special. Our Hua family has tried to melt it several times before but failed. The starting price is 100,000 spirit stones." An elder of the Hua family who was presiding over the auction on the stage shouted.
"Who wants this broken sword? It won't even cut firewood if you take it back."
"Hahaha... Could it be that the Hua family is out of treasures? Something like this could be auctioned off."
"The Hua family may be short of money."
"I'll offer 110,000 spirit stones." Sang Jin shouted.
The Glazed Heart Fire in her body reacted. It wanted the broken sword.
"Who is that? Are you stupid? It's actually a little girl of a few years old."
"I wonder whose child this is, she's so young. Could she be the illegitimate daughter of some sect leader? Otherwise, how could there be so many spirit stones for her to squander?"
"Brother, what you said is very likely. I just saw her bid for a robe worth one million spirit stones."
“…”
As the auction for the broken sword began, the audience erupted in discussion. Sang Jin didn't care what others said. She was rich and capricious, so what? If she didn't have enough spirit stones, she could just use elixirs to pay for it. It wasn't a big deal.
She'd done this kind of thing a lot back in the Eastern Wasteland. Alchemists only lacked medicinal materials, not money. That was why she'd wanted to learn alchemy.
"Miss Sang is offering one hundred and one hundred thousand spirit stones. One hundred and one hundred thousand at a time." The presiding elder would knock the hammer with a small wooden hammer every time he called out a price.
"One hundred and twenty thousand twice." The audience was completely silent. No one bid again. Everyone wanted to move on to the next auction.
"One hundred and ten thousand three times, deal. This Phoenix Feather Sword will belong to Miss Sang."
“…”
The auction was still going on. Soon, several more treasures passed by, and it was Sang Jin's Rejuvenating Pill's turn.
"Next is our Huabaolou's special treasure, the Rejuvenating Pill, which is a sixth-grade, eight-patterned pill. It can restore a person's youth to its peak beauty. One pill can preserve youth for a hundred years." After the Hua family elder finished speaking, there was another sigh from the audience.
For cultivators, aging is much slower than that of ordinary people, but it does not mean they will never age. Those who never age will take pills like this anti-aging pill.
Men generally don't like this kind of elixir, but it is mostly loved by women, especially elderly female cultivators.
"We've never seen this kind of elixir before. How do we know it can really keep you young for a hundred years?"
"That's right. After all, I've never heard of this kind of elixir being able to return people to their most beautiful times."
"Everyone, please be patient. There are three pills. We can ask a fellow Taoist to test them." The Hua family elder finished speaking. There was another sigh from the audience.
Find someone to test the medicine, what if the pill has any side effects? The gain is not worth the loss.
"Please rest assured, this elixir has no side effects." The Hua family elder still trusted their alchemist. Elder Tong was the president of the Alchemy Association's Yansha City branch and a fourth-rank alchemy master.
No one in the audience dared to go up and try the medicine. Finally, Elder Hua had someone find an elderly woman on the street who was willing to try the medicine. This woman was eighty years old. Her face was covered in wrinkles. She was just an ordinary person, living one day at a time.
When she heard from the Hua family that the anti-aging pill could make her return to her most beautiful youth, she agreed without hesitation.
"I've really grown younger." The old woman screamed in pain for a few breaths. A few breaths later, a young and pretty girl appeared in everyone's sight. Who wasn't a beauty in their youth?
"This anti-aging pill can not only keep people young for a hundred years, but also extend their lifespan by a hundred years. The starting price is 500,000 spirit stones per pill, and now there are only two left." The elder of the Hua family continued to explain the anti-aging pill.
A hundred years of lifespan is not a big deal for a cultivator, but for an ancestor who is nearing his death and has not yet broken through, living for another hundred years can help the sect prosper for another hundred years, and perhaps he can find another opportunity to break through and extend his lifespan.
"Five hundred and ten thousand."
"Six hundred thousand."
"Six hundred and fifty thousand."
"Six hundred and eighty thousand."
“…”
"One million."
"Mr. Tong, please don't fight with us."
