I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Tianyuan Auction House.

The second half was almost entirely dominated by Danyao.

Moreover, these pills were all delivered by pharmacies of all sizes within the city.

This is indeed a very good way to promote yourself.

Gu Yun Pharmacy is one of the top pharmacies in Jinyuan City.

However, there are also many other pharmacies with similar signs.

After all, medicinal herbs are the most important thing for martial arts practitioners.

Therefore, many other signs also choose to be displayed at the Tianyuan Sect's auction house.

"Zhiweitang has actually brought a mid-grade third-level pill for auction!"

"This Zhiweitang seems to be very good, quite capable."

"What's so special about being able to produce a single mid-grade third-rank pill? Look at the Seven Star Hall, they sent a whole three third-rank pills!"

"Seven Star Hall has indeed been doing quite well lately, with a full range of medicinal herbs, and sometimes they even give away some auxiliary materials."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They exchanged ideas privately.

But no one was in a hurry, because they knew that the real highlight was yet to come.

Ancient Cloud Pharmacy and Northern Spirit Pill Sect!

Although the Northern Spirit Pill Sect had caused quite a stir some time ago.

It is said that all the third-rank experts of the Blazing Fire Hall have been killed, and the young sect leader Xiao Can is also gone.

However, the true core of the Beiling Pill Sect is the Beiling True Man.

As long as True Person Beiling is alive, the foundation of the Beiling Pill Sect will never be shaken or damaged.

This time, the Northern Spirit Pharmacy also sent two high-grade third-rank pills!

The auction caused quite a stir.

"As expected of the Northern Spirit Pharmacy, two high-grade rank three pills!"

"Although these pharmacies all sell medicinal herbs, when it comes to experts in the world of pills, it has to be the Northern Spirit Pharmacy! After all, behind the Northern Spirit Pharmacy stands the entire Northern Spirit Pill Sect!"

Some people said it with a smug look on their faces, and if you didn't know better, you would think that Beiling Pharmacy was their own business.

The bidding for the elixirs was also extremely fierce.

However, all of these consume spirit stones.

Lu Xuan had no interest in these pills whatsoever.

If someone were selling the formula for the pill, then I might be more interested.

These were just some pills that could be easily refined; in Lu Xuan's eyes, it was simply using spirit stones to buy a bunch of junk.

At this moment, Lu Xuan was also playing with that broken sword.

The cut surface of the broken sword wasn't very large.

Lu Xuan flipped through it.

There's no need to restore it to its original length.

Instead, the entire thing could be adjusted and shortened into a short sword.

Shen Yue likes to use short swords.

Lu Xuan also thought about forging the sword into a shape that Shen Yue would like.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the item to be auctioned next is provided by Gu Yun Pharmacy."

"Five mid-grade, third-rank pills!"

"A one-time package auction!"

The auctioneer on the stage shouted excitedly.

Five! Five pieces were auctioned off at once!

"Which alchemist has Gu Yun Pharmacy allied itself with?!"

"I had heard before that Gu Yun Pharmacy was very powerful, and seeing it today, I can confirm it is true."

"As expected of Guyun Pharmacy, it enjoys a prestigious reputation throughout the entire Xuanwu Dynasty."

Five mid-grade, third-rank pills.

Its popularity even surpassed that of the two pills from the Northern Spirit Pharmacy.

Although the pills from the Northern Spirit Pharmacy are of a higher grade, there are only two of them.

Gu Yun Pharmacy offered five at once; the quality was slightly inferior, but their sincerity was evident.

Everyone knows how capable you are.

But since you, Beiling Pharmacy, have so many good things that you keep to yourself and refuse to share with everyone, people naturally don't admire you as much.

On the contrary, Gu Yun Pharmacy gives off a sense of being approachable and beneficial to the people.

A fierce auction is underway below.

Meanwhile, on this side of the viewing hall...

Xu Dingyan's lips were practically curled up to the sky.

Because he brought all five pills with him.

The reputation gained from this first battle is naturally of paramount importance. Once Xu Dingyan has served in his position as the head of Jinyuan City for a year, he will be able to access the core level of the family and thus enter the inner cabinet.

Otherwise, Xu Dingyan would have no achievements to speak of and would find it difficult to gain the respect of the people in the future.

This was also a path paved for Xu Dingyan by his family.

"Gentlemen, what is that Beiling Pharmacy? How can it compare to my Guyun Pharmacy?"

"I didn't care what happened to his Beiling Pharmacy before."

"When I arrive, I'll make sure the Northern Spirit Pharmacy bows down obediently!"

Xu Dingyan's gaze involuntarily drifted to Xu Jing beside him, his smugness and arrogance impossible to conceal.

These bold words are truly moving at this moment.

After all, in terms of reputation, it did indeed suppress the Northern Spirit Pill Hall.

However, Xu Jing's face remained calm.

Xu Dingyan snorted coldly.

At this point, the bidding at the auction ended.

The price of a mid-grade third-rank pill is generally around fifty spirit stones.

These five pills were auctioned off for a total of 460 spirit stones.

Even the Mu family in the past only had a few thousand spirit stones in their inventory.

The fact that five pills sold for such a price at this auction is truly remarkable.

"Hehe, congratulations, Young Master Yan."

"Congratulations, Young Master Yan! This price is the most expensive item at today's auction!"

"Young Master Yan is amazing!"

The others also stepped forward to offer their compliments.

Wang Maocai also glanced at Xu Jing beside him.

Although he also wanted Xu Jing to take over, it seems that Xu Dingyan's reputation is still more prominent.

"After the auction, I'll treat everyone to a meal at Lou Wai Lou."

Xu Dingyan has already begun arranging a victory celebration banquet.

Just when everyone thought the auction was about to end.

Suddenly, the auctioneer on the stage also banged the gavel heavily on the table.

It attracted everyone's attention.

"Hehe, everyone, don't panic."

"Next, we will have one more, the most important item, up for auction."

The elderly auctioneer on the stage revealed a mysterious smile.

at the same time.

Everyone saw it too; they didn't know when, but the highest-ranking person in charge of the Tianyuan Sect's Treasure Competition had arrived.

Nan Siqi.

At this moment, a figure dressed in a neat long robe, carrying a blue-purple longsword, appeared on the left side of the auction stage.

This is impressive.

It's obvious they're here to protect the auction items!

When everyone saw Nan Siqi appear in person, they all gasped in surprise.

Seeing Nan Siqi's demeanor again, and guessing why she had come, he was even more shocked.

"What is being auctioned off? It's actually the Southern Fairy herself who's here to protect it!"

"Is that the Fairy of the South? She's so beautiful!"

"Damn it, I've never seen such a beautiful woman in my life. If I could kiss her, I'd be willing to be stabbed to death by her sword!"

Someone let out a wail.

Nan Siqi was already used to these kinds of looks.

That means I'm busy right now.

If anyone dares to utter such foul language to her face, Nan Siqi will send him to his death with a single sword strike.

Some prominent families in the city, such as the Chu family, were also curious.

What kind of treasure could make Nan Siqi appear as a protector?

"That's Nan Siqi? She's actually quite pretty..."

Xu Dingyan also saw Nan Siqi and immediately swallowed hard.

Let's not even talk about Xu Dingyan.

Even when Lu Xuan met Nan Siqi.

This Moon Shadow Sword Fairy truly caught Lu Xuan's eye.

"She is indeed quite attractive."

"And his talent in swordsmanship is indeed quite good."

Lu Xuan nodded to himself.

Lin Qiao, standing to the side, showed no jealousy whatsoever; instead, she nodded in agreement.

After all, Nan Siqi was also a female swordsman she admired.

She was also an object of Lin Qiao's admiration.

Lin Qiao was also very happy to have gained Lu Xuan's appreciation.

Those who were originally preparing to leave sat down again.

"I won't keep you in suspense any longer."

"The next item to be auctioned."

"It was provided by the Wuling County branch of Guyun Pharmacy."

"A fourth-grade elixir!"

"Seven Treasures Heavenly Dragon Pill!"

The elderly auctioneer spoke from the stage.

Grade Four Elixir!

When these four words appear.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe.

They just kept staring wide-eyed.

"A...a fourth-grade pill!?"

"It really is a fourth-grade elixir!?"

"It's been so many years since we've seen a fourth-grade elixir appear at an auction!"

"A fourth-grade elixir..."

Everyone was shocked by this news.

Like a violent wave, they were knocked to the ground.

"Rest assured, everyone. This pill has been verified by all the deacons of my Tianyuan Sect."

"Absolutely authentic!"

Wow!

The words "absolutely authentic" caused the entire audience to erupt in excitement.

It really was a fourth-grade elixir.

The auctioneer did not object.

Instead, they quietly allowed the audience to experience the impact of this fourth-grade elixir.

In fact, the people of Tianyuan Sect did not expect that someone would be willing to put a fourth-grade pill up for auction.

Inside the viewing hall.

Xu Dingyan was shocked when he heard that it was a fourth-grade pill, and when he heard that it was provided by the Wuling County branch, he stood up abruptly!

I feel so uncomfortable!

The Wuling County branch—isn't that the Guyun Pharmacy managed by Xu Jing?

"How is that possible!"

"How could you possibly possess a fourth-grade elixir!"

"They're even putting it up for auction!"

"You're lying..."

Before Xu Dingyan could finish speaking, the auctioneer below uttered the words "absolutely authentic".

At this moment, Xu Dingyan's face turned ashen.

If there hadn't been so many people around, he probably would have foamed at the mouth and fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, Xu Dingyan held on to his last shred of dignity.

"This...this is impossible...it can't be..."

Xu Dingyan had never suffered such a blow.

When he was in Xuanwu Royal City, he could get whatever he wanted.

When have I ever been treated like this?

They suffered heavy losses time and time again at the hands of someone who was born out of wedlock.

This was unacceptable to Xu Dingyan.

Finally, with a snap, he passed out.

Xu Dingyan was seen to be unconscious.

Wang Maocai was secretly pleased, but on the surface he still pretended to be concerned and gestured to the two men to carry Xu Dingyan back to rest.

The remaining people in the private room also cupped their hands in congratulations to Xu Jing.

"Congratulations, Manager Xu."

"This fourth-grade pill will surely make our Ancient Cloud Pharmacy famous far and wide!"

"I never expected that Manager Xu could actually procure a fourth-grade elixir. My Gu Yun Pharmacy's grand undertaking is now complete!"

Fourth-grade elixir.

Even in the capital, it is an extremely precious resource.

The Xu family has connections, but these connections are neither cost-effective nor easy to obtain.

Therefore, all fourth-grade pills are held in their hands as a trump card.

Under normal circumstances, it will not be fired.

If Xu Jing could also cooperate with a fourth-grade alchemist.

Let alone the position of the person in charge of Jinyuan City.

Even if Xu Jing were to take the position of the family elder, it would be entirely up to her to choose.

It even depends on whether Xu Jing is willing.

"I never expected Manager Xu to be so unassuming. In that case, I can confidently entrust the Jin Yuan City branch to you."

Congratulations!

Wang Maocai cupped his hands in greeting to Xu Jing.

That's quite a sincere statement.

If you still can't see how powerful Xu Jing is by now, then you've been in the underworld for nothing all this time.

They easily found an order worth eight million taels.

Then, the Chu family was brought into cooperation with Guyun Pharmacy.

Now they've put up fourth-grade pills for auction.

All of this, when put together, is enough to prove the power behind Xu Jing.

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true."

Xu Jing was also polite and didn't make any overly definitive statements.

The auction is still ongoing.

For this one grade four elixir.

Almost all parties have increased their efforts.

The level of competition is on a completely different level than before.

In fact, the price has already reached the edge of two thousand spirit stones.

In the end, this fourth-grade pill was sold for 2,100 spirit stones.

It was purchased by the Chu family.

Chu Chen, the head of the Chu family, also breathed a huge sigh of relief.

But at the same time, he looked at Chu Lingsheng beside him.

"The auctioneer just said that these pills came from the Guyun Pharmacy in Wuling County?"

Chu Lingsheng nodded.

"That's right, that's exactly what they say."

"So it seems..."

A glint of light flashed in their eyes.

The meaning is self-evident.

"I'll go sign that long-term contract first thing tomorrow morning!"

"An annual order for medicinal herbs worth six million taels of silver."
