Chapter 45: Pill Auction
As soon as Mu Yuanfeng left the auction house, the auction house launched a vigorous publicity campaign.
For a time, the news that the Jiyue Auction House was about to auction the Po Ling Dan caused a lot of buzz.
Jiyue Auction House had just held a large auction, and many people who came to the auction were still staying in Mo City and had not left. The news that the auction house was going to auction the Po Ling Dan immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
It is not uncommon for a martial artist at the peak of the nine stars to stay at this position for a few years or even decades. A soul-breaking pill is enough to make these martial artists who dream of a breakthrough scramble for it.
Lan Ruofeng had a dark face. His family had given him 500,000 Yuan stones to buy the pills from Mu Yuanfeng, but he had already spent 50,000 Yuan of the 500,000 Yuan stones.
Lan Ruofeng originally thought that if he offered a price of 350,000, put some pressure on Mu Yuanfeng, and then raised the price to 450,000, he would probably be able to buy the pill from Mu Yuanfeng. However, Lan Ruofeng actually handed the pill to the auction house.
"Ruofeng, are you in a bad mood?" Zhuang Yu asked.
Lan Ruofeng smiled and said, "No!"
Zhuang Yu looked at Lan Ruofeng and said, "Ruofeng, if you have anything that makes you unhappy, you can tell me. I can help you share the burden."
Lan Ruofeng nodded and said, "I know."
Lan Ruofeng frowned. This time when he came to Mo City, he and his father promised that they would bring back the Po Ling Pill. Now that the Po Ling Pill was on the auction house, it was almost impossible to buy it for 450,000 yuan worth of stones.
Zhuang Yu looked at Lan Ruofeng's depressed expression and thought secretly: Lan Ruofeng is probably worried about the elixir. He didn't know why Mu Yuanfeng would rather hand over the elixir to the auction house than sell it to Ruofeng. Ruofeng is from the Lan family, a big family in Jingcheng.
If Mu Yuanfeng sold the elixir to Lan Ruofeng, the Lan family would certainly owe Mu Yuanfeng a favor. The opportunity to make the Lan family owe someone a favor is not common. If I meet Mu Chen, I will definitely persuade him well.
If Mu Chen was still the original owner, maybe after Zhuang Yu gave him three bowls of love potion, he might really be able to persuade Mu Yuanfeng, but now, there is no possibility at all.

"Shi Tou, do you know about the Po Ling Dan?" Chen Da asked with a frown.
Ye Shi frowned and thought to himself: It seemed that Lan Ruofeng and Mu Yuanfeng were talking about the Soul-Breaking Pill that day. At that time, Mu Yuanfeng's face looked very bad.
"I'm not very clear." Ye Shi said.
Chen Da frowned and said, "This is really strange. I'm afraid the Mu family is not very peaceful right now."
Ye Shi looked at Chen Da in confusion and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Chen Da narrowed his eyes and said, "Mu Yuanfeng handed the elixir over to the auction, but it seems that the Mu family is now raising Yuanshi to bid for the elixir."
Ye Shi widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "How could it be?" The auction house is not a philanthropist. They usually take a 10% commission from the auction proceeds. Mu Yuanfeng sells pills and the Mu family buys them.
Chen Da shrugged and said, "That's why I said that the Mu family is not at peace right now. It seems that the Mu family bought the elixir with the intention of giving it to Mu Yuanhang. The relationship between these two brothers is a bit tricky now!"
Ye Shi scratched his head. Mu Yuanfeng would hand over the pills to the auction, which must be because he was dissatisfied with the Mu family. He didn't know what the current situation was and whether Mu Chen would be implicated.
"Uncle Chen, is the Po Ling Pill very valuable?" Ye Shi asked curiously.
Chen Da nodded and said, "Of course the Po Ling Dan is valuable. The Po Ling Dan is worth 300,000 Yuan Shi. If it goes to auction, I'm afraid it will sell for at least 1 million Yuan Shi."
Ye Shi's eyes widened and he asked, "So many?"
Chen Da nodded and said, "Of course, what else do you think?"
Ye Shi's eyes flickered as he said, "I will never be able to make that much money in my lifetime."
Chen Da shook his head and said, "This matter is a headache for the upper echelons of the Mu family. It has nothing to do with us. Let's move in first."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Okay."
"Shi Tou, Young Master Muchen is here." Amu walked in and said.
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and said, "He's here, why is he here?"
Mu Chen walked in carelessly, looked at Ye Shi, and said, "Have you packed? If you have, come with me."
"I've packed it up. I don't have much stuff." Ye Shi said lightly.
Mu Chen stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the thing."
"Can you lift it?" Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen with some doubt.
Mu Chen took Ye Shi's luggage, threw it into the space ring, and waved at Ye Shi with some pride.
Ye Shi looked at Muchen's ring and said with envy, "That's great, so convenient."
Mu Chen stroked the ring on his hand and said, "This ring is only one cubic meter and can't hold much. When I make money, I'll buy you a bigger one."
Ye Shi curled his lips, looked at Mu Chen suspiciously, and said, "How long will it take for you to make money?" A space ring costs tens of thousands of yuan in stones, and this guy Mu Chen only knows how to help him.
Mu Chen: “…”
"Shi Tou, don't look down on me like that! I'm learning alchemy now. Do you know what alchemy is? It's a skill that can make a lot of money." Mu Chen said with some pride.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's right. You can make a lot of money, but you also burn a lot of money. Don't think I don't know that you have wasted a lot of spiritual herbs and haven't refined a single pill. You have wasted a lot."
"Shi Tou, actually, I can already refine pills. My father said I have talent." Mu Chen said with a bitter face.
Ye Shi put his hands behind his back, pouted, and said, "Really? Your father is really in trouble. You behaved so badly, and he still tried to comfort you against his will."
Mu Chen: “…”
Chen Da stood aside, constantly making eye contact with Ye Shi. However, Ye Shi was only focused on attacking Mu Chen and didn't notice that Chen Da was anxiously jumping for help.
"Let's go." Mu Chen took Ye Shi's hand and said.
Ye Shi obediently let Muchen hold his hand. Muchen secretly thought, this guy Ye Shi becomes obedient once he holds his hand.
Lan Ruofeng and Zhuang Yu were walking on the street when they saw Mu Chen coming out holding Ye Shi's hand.
Zhuang Yu couldn't help but frown when she saw this scene. It seemed that Ye Shi and Muchen were getting closer and closer. What on earth was Muchen thinking? Was it necessary to take his acting so seriously?
When Ye Shi saw Zhuang Yu, he suddenly felt an indescribable disgust in his heart. When he saw Lan Ruofeng, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
"Mr. Chen." Zhuang Yu subconsciously called out to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen looked at Zhuang Yu and asked impatiently, "Master Zhuang, is there something wrong?"
Zhuang Yu pursed his lips. It had been such a long time, and Muchen had always been so distant to him. Zhuang Yu felt like he was trying to please someone but was rejected. But he was reluctant to let go.
"It's nothing. Shitou agreed to live in the Mu family. I will take him back." Mu Chen said as a matter of course.
Zhuang Yu frowned and couldn't help but look at Ye Shi with some blame.
Zhuang Yu's protectors never make her angry and always give her enough face. However, Ye Shi is different. Ye Shi is very...disgusted with Zhuang Yu.
"Mu Chen, let's go. Didn't you say so? Let's hurry back. It's just time for dinner and we can have lunch. You said you specifically asked the kitchen to make roast suckling pig for me." Ye Shi hugged Mu Chen's arm and said affectionately.
Muchen looked at Ye Shi's eager eyes and thought: Is Shitou acting like a spoiled child? How adorable.
"Mr. Zhuang, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first." Mu Chen said to Zhuang Yu indifferently.
Zhuang Yu looked at Muchen and couldn't help but say, "Muchen, if you want to get your grandfather's attention, there are many ways. There's no need to put yourself in such a difficult position."
Mu Chen frowned and looked at Zhuang Yu in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
Ye Shi looked at Muchen's expression and didn't want Muchen and Zhuang Yu to get too involved, so he pulled Muchen's hand and said, "Let's go. I'm hungry."
When Mu Chen heard Ye Shi's words, he immediately put Zhuang Yu behind his mind and said, "Sorry, we have to leave first."
Ye Shi hugged Mu Chen's arm, leaned on Mu Chen's shoulder affectionately, turned around and made a face at Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu looked at Ye Shi's smiling face, his face turning pale. Was Ye Shi trying to show off to him? Such an ugly guy actually dared to show off to him. Muchen had never been so attentive to him before.
Lan Ruofeng looked at Ye Shi's back and felt a sour feeling in his heart, as if something of his had been stolen.
After leaving Zhuang Yu's sight, Ye Shi immediately let go of the arm that was holding Mu Chen.
Mu Chen felt like he was being thrown away after being let go by Zhuang Yu.
"Mu Chen, if you want to get your grandfather's attention, there are many ways to do it. There's no need to put yourself in such a difficult position. Shi Tou, what do you think Zhuang Yu means by this?" Mu Chen asked Ye Shi in confusion.
Ye Shi twisted his fingers and said, "I don't know! How would I know what he means?"
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to think about him anymore." Zhuang Yu is the protagonist, and the protagonist's thinking is always different from others.
Seeing that Mu Chen stopped asking questions, Ye Shi felt relieved, but he still felt a little uneasy.
