"Sigh, I'm all alone again," Qi Ling said with a touch of melancholy. "Oh right, what was I originally planning to do...?"
After racking his brains, Qi Ling finally remembered that he had come out to find his adorable younger siblings, and he had completely forgotten this most important task. He was such a bad older brother.
Qi Ling had her own reasons for letting Xiao Wu and Tang San go out alone. Now that Xiao San knew Xiao Wu's true identity, he would definitely have many thoughts in his mind, causing him a lot of turmoil.
But Qi Ling believed that the Xiao San would eventually let go of all distractions and stick to his own ideas, and at that time, it would be very necessary for him to spend more time with Xiao Wu.
"At this time, they should still be at the auction," Qi Ling thought to herself. "In that case, I'll go and see what's different about the auction in Heaven Dou City."
The auction house in Heaven Dou City is a perfectly round hemisphere, without any name or patterns on it, only a hammer symbol representing the auctioneer.
Despite its simple design, this is one of the most prestigious auction houses on the entire continent. Here, you can buy any rare item, and even the Soul Bone that Soul Master dream of.
Upon arriving at the outer perimeter of the Heaven Dou Auction House, Qi Ling frowned as she looked at the brightly dressed young women standing at the entrance.
If I remember correctly, there are certain qualifications required to enter this auction house: either you need an invitation from the organizer, you need to prove that you have enough money, or you need to provide auction items that meet the standards.
Qi Ling could forget about the first two options, so all he could do was follow Tang San's example and put something up for auction.
The Soul Tool he carried were obviously not something he could take out. First, he couldn't explain where they came from, and second, if he got into trouble because of them, it would be a huge loss.
As for other talismans and the like, those are even worse. They break the rules of power in this world. If someone were to take them and study them, who knows what the consequences would be?
"It seems like Xiao San and Xiao Wu will run into Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, here," Qi Ling thought to herself. "If he were here, perhaps we could use that to our advantage."
After making her decision, Qi Ling immediately headed towards the entrance of the auction house, where, as expected, she was stopped by a beautiful young woman.
"Sir, may I ask what brings you here?" the woman asked Qi Ling with a polite smile.
"This must be the auction house in Heaven Dou City, right? I have some items I'd like to auction here," Qi Ling said directly.
"Alright, sir, what would you like to auction? Our auction house has professional auctioneers who will appraise your item. If its value exceeds one Gold Soul Coin, you can participate in today's auction," the girl said.
"Let's auction this off." Qi Ling said, taking out a small medicine bottle containing the Spirit Ascension Pill, a pill that only he could concoct!
Although this Spirit Ascension Pill only has the most basic formula, it is enough to increase the age limit of Soul Master by 10% when absorbing Soul Ring, and it is also useful for those below the Soul King realm.
"What is this?" the girl asked curiously. Although she could tell it was a pill, she couldn't determine its effects.
"This is called Spirit Ascension Pill. Its effect is to increase the maximum age limit when absorbing Soul Ring, up to 10%. It's effective for those below the Soul King realm," Qi Ling said. "I wonder if this is good enough to be auctioned?"
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, the girl was immediately taken aback. If the medicine was truly as Qi Ling described, then it would undoubtedly become a treasure coveted by all the major families!
After all, no matter how powerful a family is, the most important thing is always its heir. Only by ensuring that the heir is powerful enough can the family prosper in the long run.
This pill can achieve such an effect, directly increasing the maximum age of Soul Ring! Its rarity is self-evident.
"I'm sorry, sir, this item is far too valuable for me to assess. Please come with me to see our auctioneer so he can determine its value," the young woman said respectfully.
Qi Ling had already known that the girl couldn't make the decision herself, so she said, "Alright, lead the way."
Upon arriving at the auction house, the girl quickly found a manager-looking person. After explaining the situation to him, the man looked surprised and immediately came to Qi Ling's side.
"Sir, I am the manager here, You Bilie. May I take a look at your auction items?" the man said very politely.
Qi Ling said nonchalantly, "Sure." Then she handed the medicine bottle to You Bilie.
After taking the medicine bottle, You Bilie carefully changed into a pair of white gloves, then opened the bottle. Immediately, a medicinal fragrance wafted out, clearly indicating that it was not a counterfeit.
He then capped the bottle and said, "Sir, I need to find our special appraiser to authenticate this item. Please wait a moment in the VIP room."
"As for the appraisal results, we guarantee absolute impartiality and that the auction items will not be damaged in the slightest! Otherwise, I swear on the honor of the auction house, I will compensate you tenfold!"
Qi Ling wasn't worried about the auction house's reputation. After all, without a good reputation, they wouldn't have been able to stay in business for so long; it was one of the largest auction houses on the entire continent.
So, led by the young woman, Qi Ling went to the VIP room to rest. The young woman knew that this gentleman was an important guest of the auction house, so she served him with utmost care, which made Qi Ling feel a little uncomfortable.
Not long after, You Bilie entered with an elderly man and introduced him to Qi Ling: "This is Master Lu, our auction house's chief drug appraiser! Grandmaster Lu has just confirmed that your medicine does indeed have miraculous effects, so he came here specifically to verify something with you."
"Young man, did you refine this medicine yourself?" Master Lu asked impatiently before You Bilie could finish speaking.
Qi Ling was prepared for this, so she said, "I'm sorry, I can't say anything about that for now. I can only guarantee that the effects of these drugs will be exactly as I described."
Master Lu nodded and said, "Indeed, the effects of this medicine are truly unprecedented, incredibly miraculous! It's just a pity there's only one pill; if there were more, it could fetch a much better price."
"Really? I happen to have some more here, so I'll sell them too." Qi Ling said, casually taking out two more medicine bottles and tossing them onto the table.
Perhaps this is a treasure to them, but to Qi Ling, it's really nothing special. After all, the ingredients are quite common; it's just that the prescription is unique.
