The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Wan Jin Auction House, backstage.

As the largest chain auction house in Miaohua Continent, this place is bustling with people, all of whom are top merchants or powerful cultivators in Miaohua Continent.

Many people wear cloaks to conceal their identities.

Sometimes being recognized can easily lead to enmity... After all, not everyone in this world is upright, and if the treasures you possess attract the interest of someone with low morals...

They could easily kill and rob.

Chi Miao and the others also came wearing cloaks. To prevent any troublesome situations, only a few of the more closely related prodigies came along.

If a large group follows, and everyone is wearing cloaks... people will most likely think they're there to cause trouble.

Jin Shengfei was still worried: "Chi Miao, do you really have business to discuss, or are you just trying to fool me?"

Chi Miao: "Why would I lie to you? Do you think I need to fool someone with your intelligence?"

Jin Shengfei: "..."

Chi Miao laughed and said, "Just you wait and see, the conditions I'm offering... are something no merchant can refuse."

Jin Shengfei said "Oh," and then said, "The person in charge of this branch is also a relative of my Jin family. I have already made an appointment with him for you, and he will be here soon."

After a while.

A series of exclamations came from backstage, as if someone very important had arrived.

"The branch manager is here! What kind of VIP is he that he personally came to see us today?!"

The president of Wan Jin Auction House is not someone you can just meet whenever you want; even the branch manager can't.

Wan Jin Auction House has three levels of members: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

Each level has its own designated person in charge.

The hierarchy is extremely strict; unless one possesses a priceless treasure, it is impossible to bypass the membership level and find a higher-level leader.

In most cases, the branch manager of the auction house can only be met by elders or sect leaders of the ten major sects who bring news of rare treasures.

Now it appeared and walked up to Chi Miao and the others.

Everyone began to speculate about the identities of Chi Miao and the others.

"It must be very noble!"

The branch manager was a plump, middle-aged man with a very auspicious appearance. He wore a long golden robe and had a friendly smile, but Chi Miao could tell from his eyes that this man was no pushover.

That's true; a kind-hearted person can't do business.

With such a powerful business empire, how many easygoing people could the Jin family possibly have?

I'm afraid the few good-natured ones left are all naive and have gone off to cultivate immortality.

"Fatty Jin".

"Chi Miao".

After exchanging greetings, Jin Dapang suggested, "Young Master told me everything in detail before we came. Young Master Jin's friends are my friends too. Let's go inside and talk."

Chi Miao nodded.

The group followed Kim Da-pang to the backstage office.

Those watching them were utterly stunned: "They...they actually went straight into the office? How big must this business be! Heavenly Sword City is truly a place where hidden talents abound!"

It's already impressive that the branch manager would personally come to the scene, but getting him into the office is something you'd only see a handful of times a year.

It seems he heard the unwarranted praise from everyone.

Chi Miao, who had already gone inside, quickly came out again and looked at everyone.

Everyone: "?"

Chi Miao: "Stop making wild guesses. We're just ordinary people. We just have connections and we pull strings."

Everyone: "???"

Did you use connections?

No way... how come ordinary people like them have such strong connections?!

After Chi Miao returned to the office.

Everyone had taken off their cloaks, and all of them looked at Chi Miao with strange eyes, including Jin Dapang.

Chi Miao: "What's wrong?"

Everyone: "..."

Jin Dapang quietly leaned close to Jin Shengfei's ear and asked, "Has she always been this abstract?"

Jin Shengfei: "Oh no, it's just an occasional occurrence."

Jin Dapang breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Shengfei: "Her style is usually much more abstract than this."

Jin Dapang: "..."

This truly shocked him, a small-time businessman.

Chi Miao: "I can hear you."

Jin Dapang chuckled awkwardly twice: "Haha."

How embarrassing.

Forgot that cultivators have ears that are more sensitive than dogs.

They were businessmen who were always adept at navigating social situations, but they were genuinely shocked, leaving them momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Chi Miao sat down naturally, then pointed to the seat opposite her and said, "Sit down, don't be shy."

Kim Dae-pang: "??!"

No! Who's being polite? Who's the guest here?

Shouldn't he be the one saying that?!

How dare you take the initiative like that!

Jin Dapang: "You cultivators are quite... quite different from normal people, huh?"

The others retorted, "No, she's the only special case; you should be careful."

Jin Dapang sat down, took a tactical sip of water, and suddenly felt a little bit sweaty.

The pressure is immense!

The main issue is that Chi Miao is abstract, but the crucial point is that she is Jin Shengfei's guest.

When Jin Shengfei contacted him, she repeatedly emphasized that he must be polite, serious, and not careless in the slightest!

As the young master of the Jin family, what kind of people hasn't Jin Shengfei seen? This is the first time he's cared so much about someone!

I never expected... Jin Shengfei likes this kind of thing, her taste is really unique.

Chi Miao: "You should know why we're here."

Jin Dapang nodded, and then placed a jade pendant on the table.

"Is this why you came here, Dragon Pattern Jade?"

The dragon-patterned jade has an extremely clear texture, and the overall pattern is exceptionally exquisite and beautiful. The craftsmanship is so superb that it can be described as a masterpiece. A warm spiritual aura floats faintly on it.

This spiritual power... what a wonderful feeling.

Gou Shi System: "This jade pendant is a real treasure!"

Chi Miao: "Why are you in another scene?"

Gou Shi System: "I don't know, but I feel this jade pendant is something good. Why don't you give it a try?"

Chi Miao: "How do we try this?"

Gou Shi System: "Try self-harming, see if it can heal your wounds."

Chi Miao: "I feel like you're trying to fool me, but I have no proof."

But indeed... if the system says it's a good thing, then it's most likely a good thing, like that incredibly powerful Dan pattern from last time.

As if possessed, Chi Miao took out a dagger in front of everyone and decisively slashed it down on her wrist.

Immediately, blood flowed out.

Everyone: "??!"

Then, Chi Miao suddenly pressed the wound against the spiritual energy of the jade pendant.

When that warm spiritual energy approached Chi Miao's wound.

Chi Miao's wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In the blink of an eye, Chi Miao's arm was completely healed.

Everyone was shocked: "Holy crap?!"

Even Kim Dae-pang was dumbfounded: "The...the effect is that good?!"

This jade has the power to save lives and also the power to summon souls; everyone knows this.

Isn't it a bit too exaggerated that the effect is this good?

The injury healed in the blink of an eye.

Wearing this jade pendant, as long as one isn't reduced to ashes, wouldn't that make one immortal?!

Chi Miao squinted: "Wait... can any of you lend me your arm?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, Ying Wuhuo extended his hand and said calmly, "I'll do it."

Without hesitation, Chi Miao stabbed Ying Wuhuo in the hand, then held the dragon-patterned jade to his side.

Strange things happened.

Ying Wuhuo's hand injury did not heal immediately!

Chi Miao asked, "How are you feeling?"

Ying Wuhuo remained expressionless: "...It hurts."

Chi Miao: "...I'm asking if you feel better!"

Ying Wuhu shook his head.

Everyone was puzzled. Had the jade pendant malfunctioned again?

Chi Miao decisively stabbed the back of his hand again.

The jade pendant quickly healed her.

Everyone: "Huh??"

Wait, what's going on with this jade pendant?! Is this some kind of discrimination?!
