A Story Without Coincidence Is No Story! [Seeking flowers, collections, and reviews!]

Su Xiaobai had originally thought that auctioning for 30 million would be about right.

This was his expected psychological price.

If it could go higher, all the better; if it were a bit lower, it wouldn't matter.

However, he never expected that the final auction price would nearly double!

After the initial shock, Su Xiaobai was naturally filled with joy.

With over 60 million coming in all at once, he could go back to upgrading his skills recklessly!

"Good, I understand."

Although Su Xiaobai was brimming with delight, he still had to keep up appearances, his tone remaining as indifferent as ever... as if 60 million meant nothing to him at all.

Putting away the bank card, Su Xiaobai reached into his robes and produced a small wooden box, placing it on the table.

"Help me auction these off as well."

Su Xiaobai said flatly.

Rose carefully opened the wooden box, only to see twelve pills resting quietly inside, resembling golden glazed beads... That's right, they were more Grade Four Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pills, and judging by their color and the density of their spiritual energy, they were still Perfect Grade!

Over the past three days, Su Xiaobai had not been idle.

He had sold another batch of Fierce Beasts materials, gaining 10 million in revenue.

To hasten the successful cultivation of the Qiankun Law, he spent 12.8 million to upgrade his Automated Skill Training to Level 3, reducing the time required to less than a day!

As for the remaining money, he didn't use it to upgrade other skills, but instead invested it all into the medicinal ingredients for the Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pills... and because of this, he had a surplus of Fierce Beasts materials left over.

The twelve Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pills before him were the result of Su Xiaobai spending 3 million... Each furnace had yielded four Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pills!

If calculated at today's auction price of 5 million per pill, twelve pills would be a staggering 64 million!

Turning 3 million into 64 million—an eight-hundred-percent profit—how could Su Xiaobai not be tempted?

"This..."

Rose's cherry-thin lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with astonishment.

If she hadn't been certain before whether this "Mr. Bai" was the Fifth-Grade Pill Alchemist she imagined... then with the appearance of these twelve Perfect Grade Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pills, she was now completely sure!

Who else but a Fifth-Grade Pill Alchemist could refine so many perfect Grade Four pills in such a short amount of time?

Even if he hadn't refined them himself, it at least meant he knew a Fifth-Grade Pill Alchemist!

"Understood, Mr. Bai!"

Rose said with a respectful smile, "I will give the orders right away; I will do everything in my power to help you auction these pills for a high price!"

"Mm."

Su Xiaobai nodded silently.

After some polite small talk, Rose took the opportunity to ask Su Xiaobai several questions... especially regarding the source of the twelve Perfect Grade Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pills.

Su Xiaobai caught onto Rose's intent and responded with only a few words.

"...Mr. Bai, the party that auctioned your three Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pills this time is the Yuan Family, who are quite well-known in Base No. 1... I have some slight acquaintance with the Yuan Family, and their family head asked me to see if you would be willing to meet with them. I wonder if you would be interested?"

The Yuan Family?

"Heh."

Upon hearing these two words, a chill entered Su Xiaobai's eyes, and he couldn't help but chuckle... a laugh filled with mockery.

What a coincidence; how could it be anything else?

He never expected that the pills he refined would end up being auctioned off to the Yuan Family!

However, he should thank the Yuan Family.

They had provided him with over 60 million in capital.

And they had also dug a grave large enough for their own family!

"Do you know the Yuan Family?"

Hearing Su Xiaobai's chuckle, Rose asked in surprise.

"I don't."

Su Xiaobai said indifferently.

"Oh, then your meaning is..."

"I won't see them."

It wasn't time for a meeting yet!

The day Su Xiaobai truly met the Yuan Family would be the day the Yuan Family vanished from this world entirely!

"Understood, Mr. Bai. Please take care!"

Soon, having received the gold-stamped receipt and under Rose's watchful gaze, Su Xiaobai walked straight out of the Precious Pill Pavilion.

If only I could recruit him into my Precious Pill Pavilion, how wonderful that would be... what a pity!

Rose sighed.

She had hesitated during her conversation with Su Xiaobai just now because she had entertained the thought of poaching him... Even though an alchemist of this caliber must certainly have a formidable power backing him, the Precious Pill Pavilion was no pushover either!

However, so as not to cause offense, Rose forced herself to hold back.

She would wait until they had collaborated a few more times.

Perhaps by then, she could beat around the bush and find out exactly which power stood behind this Mr. Bai.

Rose thought to herself.

"Finally, I have money again!"

Returning home, Su Xiaobai immediately stripped off his black cloak, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"System, upgrade Automated Training for me!"

Without a second thought, Su Xiaobai decisively chose to upgrade Automated Training.

Two days ago, he had upgraded Automated Training to level 7, costing 12.8 million.

To upgrade to the next level, the cost would double to 25.6 million!

"Upgrade complete!"

After deducting 25.6 million, the indicator in the top right corner of the Automated Training Space shifted from "*128" to "*256"!

A time dilation of 256 times... one could only imagine how terrifying that was!

"Four days... in just four more days, I will be able to master the Qiankun Law!"

Su Xiaobai's eyes were filled with excitement.

Once the Qiankun Law was mastered, his strength would be completely transformed!

Only then would Su Xiaobai truly have no need to worry about being discovered by the Yuan Family again... because by that time, he would possess the strength to stand against the Yuan Family!

"System, upgrade Automated Cultivation and Automated Monster Hunting by one level each!"

Su Xiaobai continued.

Now that he had money, he naturally had to improve as quickly as possible!

This money was all provided by the Yuan Family to buy his "coffin"... he naturally had to do them the favor of accepting it!

"Upgrade complete!"

Deducting 10 million, the spatial flow rate of Automated Cultivation jumped from 10 times to 20 times.

Deducting 10 million, Automated Monster Hunting quickly dispatched a fourth clone to a new monster-hunting area.

"Still have 40 million left!"

"One-Click Alchemy is sufficient for now, but Automated Training isn't enough, and Automated Monster Hunting isn't enough either. I'll have to dump it all into Automated Cultivation!"

"System, keep upgrading Automated Cultivation!"

Deducting 20 million, Automated Cultivation reached level 9, with the spatial flow rate increased to 40 times.

Deducting 40 million, Automated Cultivation reached level 10, with the spatial flow rate increased to 80 times.
