After leaving the Flying Cloud Sect, Shen Sanruo went to a secluded place and took out a disguise pill from her Qiankun bag.
She made certain adjustments to her appearance, figure, and voice to make herself less conspicuous and blend into the crowd as an ordinary person.
Ordinary disguise pills usually only last for one hour; those that last longer are considered rare and excellent.
The disguise pill that Su Xiyu gave her lasted for more than half a day, which made it convenient for her, as she didn't have to take it again every hour.
Finally, she put on a veiled hat, adding another layer of protection, and completely transformed into a different person before heading to the Linglong Pavilion.
Linglong Pavilion is one of the top auction houses in the cultivation world. On auction days, it is always bustling with activity and people come and go in an endless stream.
Many people who enter the Linglong Pavilion wear masks or veils; it is common to hide one's identity in such a place.
If Shen Sang were dressed like this, she wouldn't be considered conspicuous.
As soon as she walked in, someone in charge of reception came to greet her.
"Fellow Daoist, are you participating in the auction or entrusting someone else to do so?"
"Entrusted for auction." The voice from beneath the veil was androgynous, slightly deep.
"Alright, this way please." The receptionist, unfazed by this, gestured for them to proceed.
They did not neglect Shen Sanruo because of her simple attire, and respectfully led her into the Linglong Pavilion.
He had been here for a long time and had seen all sorts of people, so he knew the importance of not judging a book by its cover.
Those who keep a low profile are often the hidden big shots.
To ensure the privacy of those who entrust their items to auction, they are usually received in a separate private room, where no one else is present except for the two people who are appraising the items and entrusting the auction.
The appraiser who received Shen Sangruo was a middle-aged man.
Upon meeting her, following standard procedure, he calmly asked, "May I ask what item you wish to consign us to auction?"
“These,” Shen Sangruo said calmly.
He calmly took out one item after another from his Qiankun bag.
One Grade 4 Rejuvenation Pill, one Grade 5 Concealment Pill, one Grade 5 Mantra Pill...
One lightning-summoning talisman, one soul-suppressing talisman, one spirit-transforming talisman...
In addition to these, there are other magical artifacts and treasures such as the Swift Boots, Chaos Pearls, and Mystic Crystals.
A total of twenty items.
As the middle-aged man watched her take out these items one by one, his expression gradually changed from calm to surprise.
He slightly widened his eyes, sat up straight, and his expression became more focused.
Each item is extraordinary; any one of them could cause a sensation at the auction.
He immediately sensed that the person in front of him was no ordinary person and that he needed to treat him with respect.
The items that Shen Sangri brought out were enough to make her a major client of Linglong Pavilion.
"Are all these items something you wish to auction?" The middle-aged man's polite tone was tinged with surprise, as if he couldn't believe it, and he asked her again to confirm.
"Mm." Shen Sanruo nodded.
"I understand." Seeing this, the middle-aged man did not ask any further questions.
Having lived in Linglong Pavilion for so many years, he had seen the world and wouldn't be so surprised as to lose his composure.
For those in their line of work, the most important thing is to know how to maintain boundaries; they must be clear about what they should and shouldn't ask.
This is also why Linglong Pavilion is able to hold top-tier auctions in the cultivation world.
"My name is Li Qingwen. May I ask how you should address me?"
He just needed a code name to address the other party to facilitate future communication and cooperation. What that name was, and whether it was real or fake, was not important.
Li Qingwen's voice was filled with excitement.
With such a huge achievement before him, almost equaling his earnings over several months, how could he not be excited?
Shen Sanruo naturally understood his meaning, and then said the code name she had already thought of: "Mu Sanyou".
Mu San was derived by splitting the character "Sang" from her name.
Li Qingwen was used to all sorts of bizarre code names, so she didn't find her code name strange.
He simply said, "Fellow Daoist Sanyou, Linglong Pavilion will arrange everything for the auction later."
"The spirit stones obtained from the auction will be divided in two parts: 20% and 80% will be used as auction fees and will belong to Linglong Pavilion, with you receiving 80%."
These things matched the information Shen Sangruo had gathered beforehand, so she didn't have many questions and simply nodded in response.
"Are you in a hurry to make a move, or are you not in a rush to use spirit stones?" Li Qingwen asked.
There's a trick to it.
If Shen Sangruo is in a hurry to make a move, Linglong Pavilion will arrange for a centralized auction as soon as possible.
If there's no rush, Linglong Pavilion can create a buzz and build its reputation to attract more people.
Even when harvesting chives, it's important to harvest them in batches.
These twenty items should be sold one by one to give those who intend to bid enough funds to maneuver, thus making the competition more intense.
Naturally, the selling price will be higher.
"No rush, feel free to do whatever you want." Shen Sanruo had also considered these two options beforehand.
After much deliberation, she decided to come to Linglong Pavilion first.
She also made some gains in the Flying Cloud Sect's scripture pavilion, finding some clues about the strange poison on Su Xiyu's body.
The book mentions a pill called Xuan Shuang Qing Xin Dan that might be able to neutralize the poison.
However, the materials required for the Xuan Shuang Qing Xin Dan are all extremely rare.
The ingredients used to refine it, such as the Azure Leaf, the Heart-Clearing Grass, the Heavenly Cloud Mushroom, and the Golden Dawn Flower, have long been absent from the world.
Some relevant records could still be found. According to the contents of those books, there were several places on her map where those materials appeared.
One of the ingredients, called Xuanbing Jade Dew, was not recorded in any of the books in the library she consulted.
Therefore, she planned to come to Linglong Pavilion first to consign the items that Su Xiyu and the others had given her to an auction.
During the auction, she went to look for materials such as Azure Leaf according to the locations marked on the map, hoping to find them.
After obtaining the spirit stones from the auction, go to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and entrust them to find clues related to the Mysterious Ice Jade Dew.
She might not be able to find it, and even if she did, it might not be effective against Su Xiyu's poison. Despite the slim chance, she would still give it her all.
"Understood. Linglong Pavilion will definitely give Fellow Daoist Sanyou the most satisfactory price."
Li Qingwen's face clearly said, "You can rest assured that we can handle things."
"Does Fellow Daoist Sanyou have any other requests?" Li Qingwen asked again.
Some consignors will specifically instruct that the item not be sold to their enemies, or make other special requests.
Linglong Pavilion will try its best to meet your needs.
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Sanruo slowly said, "I have only one request."
"When auctioning this batch of items, it must be stated that they come from Ninghua Sect."
"Ninghua Sect?" Li Qingwen clearly hadn't expected her to make such a request.
Generally speaking, clients who possess so many rare items will try their best to conceal their identity.
