Upon hearing this, Li Qingrong hesitated for a moment before quickly agreeing to become his disciple.
But she also had a request: to help her become a ninth-grade alchemist within a year.
Upon hearing this, the old doctor scoffed again, completely disregarding the matter.
He confidently declared, "You're just a minor ninth-grade alchemist. If you do as I say, with your talent, you'll be able to reach that level in at most six months."
Li Qingrong was surprised.
After realizing what she meant, she replied, "Alright! You said it yourself. If I don't become a ninth-grade alchemist within six months, then you old geezer are lying to me."
The old medicine doctor: "..."
"What do you call me?" he asked, his tone slightly cold.
Li Qingrong quickly said, "Master."
The old doctor snorted coldly: "My surname is Ouyang."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingrong quickly claimed that she knew.
At this moment, the commotion outside the auction hall pulled her back to reality. As soon as Li Qingrong looked up, she saw Jiang Yuetong and Lü Jingliang standing hand in hand in front of the glass.
Li Qingrong: "..."
All right.
She seems superfluous again.
He got up and went to Jiang Yuetong's side, looking down. It seemed like two groups of people were standing facing each other, their faces red, and they looked like they were about to fight.
"Why does it sound like they're arguing?"
Jiang Yuetong's eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at her sideways, her red lips curving into a slight smile as she said, "Put away the feelings, they're just arguing."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingrong curiously craned her neck forward. She had been talking to Master Ouyang and was unaware of what had happened at the auction.
What are they arguing about?
It's a bit chaotic down there; the auction guards have separated the two groups.
Jiang Yuetong was about to point it out to Li Qingrong when she noticed that Lü Jingliang was gripping her hand even tighter. Helpless, she raised her chin slightly and asked, "Do you see that mermaid?"
Li Qingrong searched the auction stage but couldn't find any trace of the mermaid.
She pursed her lips: "I can't see."
Jiang Yuetong tried to pull her hand away, but Lu Jingliang looked at her with a resentful gaze. She remained unmoved and then pointed to one side of the two groups below, saying, "The one in the audience, the one wearing a hat to cover his face."
Following the direction she was pointing, Li Qingrong quickly found the mermaid surrounded by people.
"The group protecting the mermaid is from the Western Regions Evil Moon Sect, and the other group is from the Medicine Sect, judging by their clothing. The two sects have a long-standing feud."
The mermaid was captured by the Evil Moon Sect and sent over, with the intention of selling it for a good price at the auction. However, the Medicine Sect acquired the mermaid for a whopping 3.72 million spirit stones.
Once the members of the Evil Moon Sect learned it was them, they changed their minds and refused to cooperate, which led to this scene.
Li Qingrong nodded thoughtfully, as if she had remembered something, and looked at her with a puzzled expression, saying, "Aren't you going to go down and do something about it?"
Jiang Yuetong said calmly, "There are so many things going on in Huanhai Prefecture, how can I manage everything? Naturally, I'll leave it to the people in charge."
Besides, no one else knows that this auction belongs to Huanhai Prefecture. If she were to directly intervene, she would offend both sides no matter what she does.
It's better to delegate the task to someone below. If you really offend someone, then transfer them to another job.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the manager, who had been all smiles, turned serious and surrounded them with his men, shouting, "Quiet!"
His voice, amplified by spiritual power, suddenly fell silent at the once bustling auction.
It was so clear you could hear a pin drop.
The atmosphere around us began to become eerie.
