Two Hundred Thousand Gold Soul Coins

Click!

Ye Qiu happily pressed the button again,

bringing the price of the three Soul Ascension Pills to forty-three thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Seeing Ye Qiu's smug expression, Ning Rongrong was instantly furious. No one had ever dared go against her before... Ye Qiu was undoubtedly the first!

She immediately began to huff.

"Oh, so that's how it is... You're playing dirty!"

"Hm?"

Ye Qiu turned to the pretty girl, whose beautiful eyes were wide, and said with a smile, "Young miss~ What do you mean, playing dirty? I'm making reasonable use of the rules."

"Huh?"

Their argument took Ning Fengzhi by surprise. He raised a hand and pressed down on Ning Rongrong's head, asking curiously, "Little brother, were you the one who brought these pills here for auction? They're quite to my liking. I wonder if you have the formula?"

"The formula?"

Ye Qiu froze for a moment, then shook his head without a second thought. "Sorry, Sect Master Ning. I obtained these pills by chance. I don't have a formula."

"Heh... I was presumptuous, then."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and reached back to press the button that raised the bid by a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

"Ah!"

Ning Rongrong cried out in surprise.

"Daddy, did you press the wrong button?"

Ye Qiu's heart couldn't help racing, too.

"Sect Master Ning, aren't you being a little impulsive?"

"Haha... I didn't press the wrong button."

Ning Fengzhi ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair, then looked at Ye Qiu and explained, "Once I bid, no one else would have raised the price. I couldn't very well let you take a loss, could I? Don't underestimate how attractive these pills are to the various families..."

"Then thank you, Sect Master Ning."

Ye Qiu thanked him solemnly.

From the moment Ning Fengzhi opened his mouth to ask for the formula, he had actually realized...

His Sister Yun'er's Soul Skill was even more sought after than he had imagined! Once exposed, it would definitely have quite a few factions fighting tooth and nail over it.

Perhaps quite a few people here wanted to buy the pills and take them back to study their formula.

Ning Fengzhi included,

but unfortunately, they could only dream.

In the end,

the three Soul Ascension Pills sold for a hundred and sixty-eight thousand Gold Soul Coins.

As for the Healing Pill that came next,

the host's introduction let Ning Fengzhi know that it, too, had come from Ye Qiu.

He didn't ask about the formula again.

But the Healing Pill, which had a starting bid of five thousand, received a lukewarm response and ultimately sold for thirty-two thousand Gold Soul Coins.

After all, the Healing Pill had to be used at the right time,

and with a shelf life of ten days, only people with someone injured at their side would buy it...

Of course,

there were also people like Ning Fengzhi, who had money to spare.

With Ning Fengzhi deliberately rounding the sum up for Ye Qiu, the three Soul Ascension Pills and one Healing Pill ultimately sold for two hundred thousand!

And Ye Qiu didn't have to pay a handling fee for the transaction.

In other words...

A tiny bit of his Sister Yun'er's Soul Power had netted them two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!

The profit was outrageous!

Once he got back, he would have to give Sister Yun'er a generous reward, sparing no expense in the hundreds of millions and giving her everything he had.

Ye Qiu thought, his face alight with excitement.

The goods had sold, and the money would most likely arrive soon,

so he immediately prepared to get up and leave.

"Yanzi, let's go."

"Mm."

Dugu Yan nodded and stood up.

She hadn't expected Ye Qiu's pills to sell for such a high price, either.

"Sect Master Ning, thank you for your generosity."

Dugu Yan took the initiative to thank Ning Fengzhi on Ye Qiu's behalf. She bowed and said in farewell, "Now that our business is done, I'll take Ye Qiu and be on my way."

Ye Qiu said with a strange expression, "Yanzi, shouldn't I be the one thanking him?"

"Wasn't I just worried that you'd offend Sect Master Ning?"

Dugu Yan lowered her voice and spoke irritably.

"Haha..."

Ning Fengzhi couldn't help laughing. He raised a hand to indicate that Ye Qiu needn't stand on ceremony and said amiably, "There's no need for thanks. Little brother Ye Qiu, this may be presumptuous, but I'd still like to ask... Which family do you belong to? Could you tell me?"

Hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head.

"Sect Master Ning, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I come from a humble commoner background and don't belong to a family."

"Oh?"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes brightened slightly, and he said in appreciation, "In that case, little brother, your achievements are all the more impressive."

"You flatter me, Sect Master Ning. I was just a little lucky, that's all."

Ye Qiu spoke modestly.

Standing behind him, Dugu Yan nearly rolled her eyes to the heavens.

Who could be as lucky as you?

You're simply a freak!

"Tch~ So what if he has a few lousy pills? What's so great about that?"

Ning Rongrong curled her lip haughtily.

As the most talented disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she naturally refused to admit defeat.

Ye Qiu glanced at her with a smile, unbothered.

If Ning Rongrong still went to apply to Shrek Academy and was accepted, she would see what he was capable of sooner or later.

"Sect Master Ning..."

Ye Qiu naturally took Dugu Yan's delicate hand and shifted his gaze from Ning Fengzhi to the middle-aged man behind him before continuing:

"And Your Majesty Chen Xin, Yanzi and I will take our leave. Until we meet again."

Your Majesty Chen Xin?!

Dugu Yan froze for a moment and looked in surprise at Sword Dao Chen Xin behind Ning Fengzhi.

"Mm, goodbye."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded gently.

Then,

Ye Qiu led Dugu Yan away from their seats and headed straight for the auction center's exit.

Dugu Yan leaned forward as Ye Qiu pulled her along, following close behind him. Puzzled, she asked, "Ye Qiu, how did you know that was His Majesty Chen Xin?"

"I only just saw him myself. I worked it out from that and what I'd heard."

Ye Qiu spoke without looking back.

"I see..."

Dugu Yan nodded thoughtfully. Catching sight of their joined hands, she involuntarily furrowed her slender brows and was just about to say something...

when Ye Qiu's voice rang out again.

"By the way, Yanzi, can I withdraw money here in silver coins?"

"Huh?"

Dugu Yan came back to her senses and nodded.

"Of course you can."

"Good. I'm just short of some small change."

Ye Qiu smiled and hurriedly led Dugu Yan downstairs.

"Hey! Slow down..."

Dugu Yan followed him helplessly, her face red.

"..."

In the white VIP section, a young man with long, purplish-black hair silently watched them leave. Cold lightning flickered in his eyes, along with a hint of hostility.

"Where did that guy next to Yanzi come from?"

"..."

In the red VIP section, Ning Fengzhi turned to the silver-haired man and asked leisurely, "Uncle Jian, what do you think?"

Sword Douluo opened his eyes and smiled.

"That boy really is no ordinary person. His Soul Power is at least above rank thirty."

"Huh?"

Surprise appeared on Ning Rongrong's previously unconcerned face, and she said in disbelief, "No way, Grandpa Jian. He's clearly about the same age as me, isn't he? How could his Soul Power be so high?"

"Haha... That's why we say he's no ordinary person. Don't underestimate him."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and chuckled, unable to help sighing with emotion.

"If only we could recruit a commoner genius like that..."

"..."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong couldn't help taking a couple more looks in the direction Ye Qiu had left.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at the stage, where another low-priced auction item was being brought out, and said without interest, "Let's go back after one more item."

"..."

Soon,

Ye Qiu withdrew quite a few Gold Soul Coins, silver coins, and copper coins. One gold coin was worth ten silver coins or a thousand copper coins. Fortunately, he had Crystal Love, or he would have had to summon his Martial Soul.

By the time he and Dugu Yan came out of the auction house,

it was already past noon.
