Chapter 164
The auction was in full swing as bottles of pills were auctioned off one by one.
In the Barbarian Continent, alchemists were so rare that pills were hard to get. Thus, the auction was pushed to the peak one time after another.
In front of the various foreign powers, the four major families of Desert City were completely uncompetitive. Occasionally, people from the four major bid, but they were quickly suppressed.
Xiao Chengfeng watched as the prices of various pills soared like rockets, and then, reached heights that they could not hope to reach.
“Those guys are crazy.” Xiao Chengfeng said sullenly.
Xiao Lifeng’s eyes widened as he murmured, “If these pills are really provided by Xiao Jingting, then he’s earning crazy money.”
In this auction, only spirit stones were accepted! It was already very luxurious for the Xiao family to practice with high-quality spirit jade, but only spirit stones were accepted at this auction. So many spirit stones were enough to cultivate several nine level Qi Practitioners for the family.
Xiao Chengfeng narrowed his eyes. It was all about Xiao Jingting in the end! How could this black sheep suddenly become a foundation building expert? He did not look like a person who could do it! Could it be… Xiao Chengfeng shook his head and thought: Those who are proficient in the method of possessing the body are vicious. Xiao Jingting has changed a lot but he is good to Xu Muan, Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu. It does not make sense!
Sun Miaomiao looked at the private room upstairs. Earlier, she saw Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan entering the private room upstairs.
Sun Miaoyin looked at Sun Miaomiao’s expression, sighed and said, “Miaomiao, stop looking.” Xiao Jingting had changed too much. Earlier, Sun Miaoyin also wanted to let Sun Miaomiao and Xiao Jingting get back together. However, seeing how Xiao Jingting treated Sun Miaomiao, she knew it was impossible.
“How can a person change so much?” Sun Miaomiao murmured.
Sun Miaoyin smiled bitterly. She also wanted to know the answer to this question! Xiao Jinfeng and Xiao Jingting had a good relationship. She heard that after Xiao Jingting came back, Xiao Jinfeng, immediately under the care of Xiao Jingting, advanced to the eighth level of Qi Practice. With such a brother who was already at the foundation building stage, Xiao Jinfeng would at worst become ninth level Qi Practice cultivator in future.
“Fifty.”
“Fifty eight.”
“…”
“Seventy two.”
“Eighty.”
“It’s the Lotus Pill. I heard that with this stuff, it’s easy to advance to the ninth level of Qi Practice from eighth level of Qi Practice.” Sun Miaoyin said.
Sun Miaoyin nodded and said, “Yes!” But what’s the use? The Sun family simply couldn’t compete with those other families. Good things were placed in front of their eyes but they could only look at them.
The auction auctioned more than a hundred pills, and more than a half of Xiao Jingting’s stock of pills was cleared up. A total of more than 1600 spiritual stones were obtained with a bunch of spiritual herbs.
……
After Xiao Jingting counted the harvest, a transmission talisman arrived in Xiao Jingting’s hand.
“What is it?” Xu Muan asked with his head tilted.
“Miss Ouyang is looking for me.” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan hesitated for a moment before he said, “Ouyang Mingyue.” Xu Muan frowned. This woman, Ouyang Mingyue, always gave him impression of a very shrewd woman.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Xu Muan shook his head and said, “Nothing, since Miss Ouyang invited us, let’s go. After all, we owe her a favor for the previous matter.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!” When the Pei family dealt with the Xiao family before, if it was not for the Marquis house stepping in, the Xiao family’s situation would have been even worse. Of course, the Marquis house was not helping them for nothing. If he had no use or value anymore, the Marquis house wouldn’t have bothered to intervene in his affairs.
……
Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan went to Ouyang Mingyue’s compound according to the agreement.
“Senior Xiao, Senior Xu! You are really blessed with great fortune!” Ouyang Mingyue said with a smile, but there was more than a little gloom between her eyebrows. Ouyang Mingyue thought: Just a few years ago, my strength was still above these two, but in just two years, I have to respect these two people as seniors.
Xiao Jingting smiled and asked, “Miss, you looked for us for something?”
“I heard that all the pills for this auction were provided by Young Master Xiao.” Ouyang Mingyue said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “There is something like that.”
“So, it seems that Young Master Xiao should be an alchemist whose alchemy is very good. If I am not wrong, the Foundation Establishment Pills for the two of you to advance to the Foundation Building stage were also refined by the two of you?” Ouyang Mingyue said.
Xiao Jingting smiled and did not say anything.
Ouyang Mingyue only took Xiao Jingting’s silence as agreement. “A furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills, usually produces three to four pills. I don’t know if Young Master Xiao still has any Foundation Establishment Pills left.”
Xiao Jingting still did not speak, so Ouyang Mingyue sullenly said, “To be honest, these years, the Marquis house might seem beautiful, but some of them can’t make ends meet, but there is a little bit of money inside. The family has lost an expert, and the end of the other two is approaching. Our strength is not as good as before and in the last Star City auction, Ouyang family won a Foundation Establishment Pill, but unfortunately failed to successfully raise a foundation building cultivator.”
