"I wonder how many bottles of Spirit Transformation Pills Miss Feng plans to bid on?" Old Master Sun asked again.
"Ten bottles for now!" Ji Jiuying wasn't sure if she could get a good price.
Judging from her tone, Old Master Sun confirmed that the Spirit Transformation Powder was indeed made by this little girl who had no spiritual power, and that she had made quite a lot of it.
Old Master Sun suddenly felt a bit of admiration for the young girl, but he still needed to report this matter to the young master before making a decision.
“Miss Feng, our auction house’s rule is to charge a 30% commission on the sale price. If you’d like, please wait a moment in VIP room number one on the third floor. I’ll consult with the young master and arrange the auction for you. Is that alright?” Old Master Sun explained.
Ji Jiuying responded indifferently, not expecting things to go so smoothly, and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy!
However, this alone is definitely not going to work. It seems she needs to study the alchemy techniques of this world. Her current body is far weaker than before, so she needs to take care of it first. Therefore, she should also look for suitable tonics and pills.
The third floor was indeed the best location, offering a clear view of the entire auction house.
"Next up for auction is a century-old Ganoderma lucidum..."
"Everyone knows the benefits of century-old Ganoderma lucidum. It's an indispensable ingredient for refining heart-nourishing pills and blood-nourishing pills. Of course, it can also be used as a birthday gift..." The old man didn't waste any more words!
"The auction begins now! Starting price: 10,000 spirit stones."
"I'll offer 30,000!"
...
It was eventually auctioned off for 60,000 spirit stones!
Ji Jiuying wasn't particularly excited; what she was hoping for was whether her Spirit Transformation Powder would fetch a good price at auction.
"Next up for auction is the Cloud Piercing Whip, a top-grade spiritual weapon crafted by Master Shangguan. It boasts exquisite craftsmanship and is both offensive and defensive. Covered in countless jagged spikes, a hit from it would cause more than just swelling. Even if one end is caught, it can sever itself, much like a snake, and will find a way to reconnect the severed segment! Starting price is 10,000 spirit stones. Auction begins now!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Ji Fengyan spotted the Cloud Piercing Whip in Room 3 on the second floor.
"Mother, I want that Cloud-Piercing Whip!" Ji Fengyan, wearing a purple veil, clung to Zhou Haiping's arm and acted coquettishly.
Although Ji Fengyan applied the whitening cream, the swelling wouldn't go down quickly. In addition, Ji Jiuying's actions weren't just about slapping her face; she threw a tantrum, which is why Zhou Haiping decided to take her daughter out for a stroll to distract her.
"Yan'er, didn't your father just give you the Red Water Whip a while ago?"
"Mother, I just love it! Besides, the Cloud Piercing Whip is a top-grade spiritual weapon, how can the Crimson Water Whip compare!" Ji Fengyan said sweetly.
"Since Yan'er likes it, let's buy it!" Zhou Haiping thought to herself. Wasn't her goal to make her daughter happy? She could afford a magical artifact.
"It's rare to come across Master Shangguan's work, so I have to try my best. I'll offer 20,000 spirit stones."
"Thirty thousand spirit stones!"
"Yan'er is here too?" Jun Linyu was about to speak when he summoned his attendant and whispered a few instructions.
Inside the same room, Ji Jiuying heard that familiar voice, and her eyes instantly turned cold. She unconsciously clenched her fists.
Images of being whipped by Ji Fengyan from the depths of his memory surfaced in his mind.
"Ji Fengyan! I didn't expect you to still have the mind to go out and stroll around even with your face ruined." She wants the Cloud-Piercing Whip, but that depends on whether she's willing to give it to her.
"Thirty-five thousand spirit stones!"
Ji Fengyan's face darkened, her eyes turning cold. How dare they try to take something from her!
"Forty thousand spirit stones!"
"Forty-five thousand spirit stones," Ji Jiuying said calmly and indifferently.
Ji Fengyan's face was filled with anger. She had finally realized that the people in room number one on the third floor were deliberately going against her.
Just as I was about to lash out, I heard a knock on the door.
“Miss Ji, my lord would like to invite you to a gathering in Room 1 on the second floor,” Fenji said respectfully from outside the door.
Ji Fengyan recognized Fenji; he was a shadow guard by the Third Prince's side. Forgetting her anger, she panicked. In the past, she would have jumped for joy! But now, she couldn't show her face to anyone. Although she was wearing a veil, the Third Prince would definitely ask about it, and she dared not say that it was that good-for-nothing who hit her.
"What should I do? What should I do? Mother, I don't want the Third Prince to see me like this." Ji Fengyan rushed to Aunt Zhou's side for help with a look of horror.
"Yan'er, don't panic!" Zhou Haiping hadn't expected to run into the Third Prince so coincidentally. She comforted Ji Fengyan while trying to find a way to decline the Third Prince's request, but she couldn't refuse him.
"Just say you accidentally ate some pastry with honey and had an allergic reaction on your face. I don't want to spoil the Third Prince's mood." Zhou Haiping thought about her daughter's honey allergy, and the Third Prince knew about it, so he would probably understand.
Ji Fengyan returned to Fenji as her mother had instructed, but she was still a little uneasy. Why did she have to run into them at this time?
It's all that damn good-for-nothing's fault. If it weren't for that bitch Ji Jiuying, she wouldn't have ended up like this. Just thinking about her makes me grit my teeth in hatred.
"Forty-five thousand spirit stones, is there anyone willing to raise the price?"
Hearing the old man's voice on the stage, Ji Fengyan snapped out of her thoughts, remembering that the Third Prince was also there.
"Fifty thousand spirit stones, Your Excellency, could you spare some face for my Ji family?" Ji Fengyan asked softly.
Just hearing her voice makes my heart ache; she sounds like she's been wronged so much.
Upon hearing this, everyone instantly realized that it was the second young lady of the General's Mansion, the most beautiful woman in the capital. It was said that the Third Prince was infatuated with her, but the Third Prince was still engaged to the good-for-nothing eldest daughter of the Ji family.
"Fifty-five thousand spirit stones."
"Heh~ May I ask, Miss Ji, where is this place? And, is your face worth that much?" Ji Jiuying retorted sarcastically.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "How could the number one room on the third floor be so tactless? Isn't this tantamount to offending the General's Mansion and the Third Prince?!"
As one of the top ten geniuses in the capital and one of the most beautiful women in the capital, Ji Fengyan would always give her face. Hearing her tone like that, she was immediately furious.
"You jest, sir. This is of course the Qi Yeyue Tower Auction House!" Ji Fengyan suppressed her anger.
"So Miss Ji knew? I thought you were senile at such a young age and didn't even know you were at an auction house."
"Your Excellency, who exactly are you? I don't know what I did to offend you, why are you insulting me like this?" Ji Fengyan said angrily.
"I am but a nobody, how could I have offended you, Miss Ji, for no reason? But isn't the rule of this auction house that the highest bidder wins? If Miss Ji wants this Cloud Piercing Whip, then bid according to the rules, otherwise this Cloud Piercing Whip will fall into my hands."
Hearing this smug tone, Ji Fengyan became even angrier.
"One hundred thousand spirit stones!"
"One hundred thousand and one spirit stones!"
