The others, seeing this, looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding how things had developed into such a strange situation.
Even the most oblivious person sensed something was wrong through Ling Chanye's actions.
The gaze directed at Jin Shangyue held a hint of suspicion and inquiry.
At the same time, he restrained his disdain for the younger generation and his self-importance, and began to show respect and caution towards Jin Shangyue as an equal.
Ke Chong stepped forward at the opportune moment, exuding a gentlemanly and charming air. He smiled and took out a semi-transparent, palm-sized light card, speaking sincerely and earnestly.
“On behalf of the Shenyuan Biotechnology Association, I, Ke Chong, invite Venerable Jinshangyue to become a Holy Guest Elder of our Association.”
"As long as Miss Jin is willing to become our Holy Guest Elder, from now on, our Shenyuan Biotechnology Association will be on the same boat as Miss Jin, honoring her with the honor of Elder and enjoying the treatment of the head of elders."
"If Miss Jin needs anything, the entire Shenyuan Biotechnology Association is willing to do everything in its power to help her."
Ling Chanye and the others cursed the old fox inwardly, while the quick-witted ones had already realized what was going on.
They had only been thinking about winning over Jin Shangyue's master, completely ignoring Jin Shangyue herself.
On the contrary, Ke Chong, that old fox, was too quick-witted. He noticed Jin Shangyue's unusual behavior and immediately set his sights on her.
Why didn't they think of that before!
Being a step too late meant missing the initiative.
But giving up like this was definitely not an option, so the members of the Nine Society, realizing what was happening, quickly spoke up one after another.
Vice President of Shenyuan Cultivation Association: "Yes, yes, Miss Jin, our Shenyuan Cultivation Association is also willing to invite Miss Jin to become our association's guest elder with the most honorable and supreme position of Holy Guest Elder, and enjoy the treatment of the head elder."
Second Elder of the Divine Abyss Warband Association: "Miss Jin, our Divine Abyss Warband Association would also like to invite you to join our association as a Saintly Guest Elder."
“Miss Jin, our Pharmacy Association is also willing…”
Everyone was talking at once, afraid of falling behind and becoming the last one again.
Having achieved her goal, Jin Shangyue stopped beating around the bush and exchanged a few words with a smile.
"Everyone has invited me to join. It doesn't seem right whether I accept their invitations or not."
Ke Chong was quick-witted and perceptive. Upon hearing this, he immediately understood Jin Shangyue's meaning and smiled as he spoke.
"That's simple. Someone as capable as Miss Jin is naturally sought after by everyone who wants to win her over."
"Miss Jin is only one person, but all nine associations want to win her over. Why don't you accept all nine associations' Holy Guest Tokens from Miss Jin?"
"Wouldn't it be even more perfect if Jiu Hui and Miss Jin became friends, formed an alliance, and helped each other, moving forward hand in hand?"
The others were taken aback, but didn't object too much.
Such a once-in-a-millennium talent possesses hidden strength that is difficult to fathom.
With a powerful alchemist master backing him up, who wouldn't want to befriend him?
That's a semi-divine alchemist! As his apprentice, Jin Shangyue has a bright future ahead of her.
Each of their associations was happy to use the identity of a Holy Guest to show goodwill and forge good relationships.
Investing in advance and binding yourself with a future semi-immortal alchemist is an incredibly worthwhile deal.
So everyone agreed, showering her with compliments and flattery, which made Jin Shangyue chuckle.
And so, the bigwigs of the Nine Associations eagerly presented their associations with the Holy Guest Orders.
Jin Shangyue got her wish and formed an alliance with Jiu Hui as expected.
The status of a Holy Guest Minister in the Nine Assemblies is even more prestigious than that of a Guest Minister, and is one level higher.
Every top-tier power has its own retainers, which are allies of a single power.
There can be many guest ministers, but there can only be three holy guest ministers, who are the heads of the guest ministers and are comparable to the heads of the elders.
By offering the identity of a Holy Guest Elder to recruit Jin Shangyue, Jiu Hui has shown genuine sincerity and made a bold, all-or-nothing investment in advance.
After Jinshangyue received the Holy Guest Minister's Order from the Nine Meetings, Ke Chong said with a friendly smile.
"Since we're all on the same side, there's no need to charge a handling fee for auctioning items at an auction held on our own premises."
"As for the details regarding the treatment of the Holy Guest Elders and the head of the Elders within the Nine Assemblies, I will have someone compile a special document and give it to the Moon Venerable."
"From now on, when Yue Zun consumes goods or services in the various branches and industries of the Nine Associations, he will enjoy the highest level of internal treatment."
From then on, Jinshangyue had an additional honorific title among the Nine Assemblies: Yuezun (Moon Venerable).
By the time Jin Shangyue finished talking with the people from Jiu Hui, the tenth item had already been auctioned outside.
Jin Shangyue was multitasking, keeping an eye on the actions of Long Tengxiao, Qi Guanjue, and Yue Yaoyao.
Qi Guanjue bid for the set of ornaments he had mentioned earlier for 300,000 high-grade spirit stones.
When the twelfth item was brought up, Ke Weisheng's peach blossom eyes shone with excitement as he spoke with boundless joy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, one of the surprise items added to tonight's auction is a healing semi-immortal-grade elixir, the Rejuvenation Pill!"
"It can regenerate muscle and bone, repair shattered dantian and sea of consciousness, tendons, bones, and flesh, and can restore at least 90% of the body."
"This is a rare find, there's only one left, so everyone should hurry up and not miss it. Even if you don't need it now, having this pill is like having an extra life."
The entire audience gasped in shock, staring in disbelief at the pill in the transparent bottle on the stage.
Currently, the highest-grade pills on the entire Shenyuan Star are of the Yuan grade.
There has never been anything that surpasses the Yuan grade.
But today, a semi-divine grade pill has actually appeared!
Semi-immortal grade pills should have effects that surpass those of Yuan grade pills, but have not yet fully reached the effects of Immortal grade pills, hence the name "semi-immortal grade pills".
Moreover, with 90% recovery power, it's practically like having a second life!
In an instant, the crowd, having regained their senses, had their eyes burning with greed, filled with an unwavering determination to possess it.
No one questioned the authenticity of the pill.
Because the auctions jointly organized by the nine associations have been among the world's top auctions for centuries.
Guaranteed authentic, guaranteed value, guaranteed rarity and preciousness.
Items that cannot be bought, sought, or found elsewhere will inevitably appear at the auction jointly organized by the Nine Associations.
This is the most unique and unusual aspect of the auction jointly organized by the nine associations.
This is why the world's top nobles and royalty are so eager to attend and look forward to the auction jointly organized by the Nine Associations.
Various factions consider it an honor to participate in the auctions held by the Nine Associations, as it is one of the ways to demonstrate their status.
As Ke Weisheng spoke, his voice trembled with excitement.
"Such a precious and unique treasure, I believe I don't need to say much, everyone knows how valuable it is."
"Without further ado, this semi-immortal-grade Restoration Pill has a starting bid of one million high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least five hundred thousand."
