Xiandao Linglong

"Sir! Are you here to attend the auction?"

As soon as Ye Qi stepped into the door of the auction house, the reception maid came up to him with a smile on her face.

Judging from their enthusiasm, there is no doubt that they have all received professional training since childhood. It seems that this auction house is not a temporary organization, and there is indeed support from old forces behind it!

"I want to auction something. Could you please lead the way, Miss?"

"I am willing to serve you, my Lord!"

The maid bent her body slightly to indicate, then led Ye Qi along the corridor to the door of a room and motioned him to go in.

"Hello! What are you auctioning?" asked a white-haired old man sitting at the table.

Ye Qi didn't say anything, but silently took out a pill recipe and handed it to the old man.

The old man looked at the recipe in his hand, his eyes suddenly widened in shock. He pushed his glasses with his hand and said solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the recipe for the Medicine King Valley's Poisonous Snake Pill. Although it's only an ordinary mid-grade product, its reputation is extremely loud in this area. Unfortunately, the poison pill is not very popular and not many people practice it. For the sake of the Medicine King Valley's reputation, I'll set the starting price at 30,000 Yuanling Pills!"

"Okay!" Ye Qi replied.

"Then please go to the auction hall and watch. After the pill formula is sold, a maid will take you to pick up the Yuanling Pill!"

"Good work!"

After saying that, Ye Qi turned around and left the room. When he reached the door, he found that the maid was still waiting for him at the door!

"Sir! Please follow me to the spectator seats at the auction venue!"

The maid guided Ye Qi towards the viewing seats for the auction.

People of all kinds along the way were unrestrained here, releasing their true inner selves. The sounds of beating, scolding, and screaming resounded throughout the auction hall.

Along the way, I saw several maids crying, as if this auction house had become a city of sin.

The immortal cultivators who wore cloaks and covered their faces became evil ghosts from hell, which made people feel sick!

Ye Qi looked at the girls who had been wronged and had no one to stand up for them, then his gaze swept over the maid beside him, and found that without exception, there was a spot on her exposed arm covered by gouache, but the bluish-purple skin could still be faintly revealed.

"Sir! Is it that Shu'er hasn't taken good care of me?"

When the maid saw Ye Qi's eyes scanning her from head to toe, she instinctively avoided his gaze, fearing that the customer would touch her again. After all, the business here was not as clean as in the outside world.

"Shu'er...Shu'er..." Ye Qi smiled but said nothing.

Just as Ye Qi was walking on the way to the auction with great anticipation, a masked figure passed by him. Looking at the figure revealed through the black robe as she walked, he felt extremely familiar for some reason.

"Teacher! Can you tell her identity?" Ye Qi asked doubtfully.

"No, but I sense a dangerous aura from her!"

"She can make the teacher feel the danger. It seems that this girl is not ordinary. I thought that according to what Wu Mian said, only people below the Foundation Establishment Stage can come in here. It seems that those strong people who have surpassed the Foundation Establishment Stage still have their own ways to enter the ruins. I have to be more careful in the future!" Ye Qi said cautiously.

Ever since passing by that mysterious woman, he hadn't encountered anyone else who looked dangerous along the way. It seemed that not everyone who wanted to enter was allowed to enter this powerful being who had surpassed the limits.

"Sir! Your place has arrived!"

Ever since Ye Qi glanced at the maid, she didn't dare look at him directly, for fear that he would suddenly develop malicious intentions towards her.

After all, they were bought by the owner of the auction house to please the customers. Even if they lost their lives, no one would remember that there was such a person!

"Miss, don't be nervous. I don't have a habit of abusing people. It's just that your name is very similar to my sister's name. I didn't mean to offend you. If I was rude, I hope you can forgive me!"

Ye Qi looked at the maid and saw that the look in her eyes was as if she was looking at a beast that could eat people at any time. She explained with a helpless smile.

Hearing Ye Qi's words, the maid named Shu'er's cheeks suddenly turned red. Ever since she entered this line of work, she had forgotten what dignity was. She only knew that she would not be beaten if the customers were satisfied, and she would have food to eat if the customers were happy.

Of course, she has also seen countless sisters abandoned after this blooming age, as if they were born humble. This is the first time someone has said such respectful words to her, and it makes her heart warm!

"The auction is about to begin! Please take your seats as soon as possible!"

Just when both of them felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the loud and clear voice of the female auctioneer on the auction table came over!

Just as the auctioneer finished speaking, a burly middle-aged man stepped onto the stage and said, "This auction is hosted by us, the Old Iron Gate! We hope everyone will behave themselves. Private fighting is not allowed in the auction hall. If it does occur, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, an extremely strong spiritual pressure covered the entire auction hall.

Ye Qi looked in the direction of the source of the pressure and saw a slender and graceful figure leaning on the railing in the corridor on the second floor. Her purple-pink nails scratched her cheeks, and her pure posture gave people an extremely charming feeling.

"Isn't this the woman we just met?" Ye Qi exclaimed.

"Well! But she doesn't seem to be from this old iron gate. I think there must be some kind of interest exchange between them, which is why she, a strong person in the Jindan realm, is here to maintain order for the old iron gate!" said Mr. Mu.

"Could she be the black-robed figure who attacked us while we were picking green needle fruits?"

"Why, are you starting to miss someone else's embroidered shoes when you hold them every day?" Old Mu chuckled and teased.

"I'm talking about business, teacher!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Let's get down to business. We should be able to confirm that she is the person in black robe!" Mr. Mu suddenly became serious and said seriously.

"Uh! Teacher, I think I can confirm it without you telling me!"

Ye Qi stared in amazement, slowly twisting his neck, his eyes following the woman's footsteps, getting closer and closer, until he saw her walk to the door of his auction room. The maid tactfully stepped forward, opened the door and let her in.

Suddenly, the sense of oppression in the room increased, and Ye Qi even felt a little breathless.

The woman turned her head and stared at the maid named Shu'er, who was immediately frightened and ran out crawling.

When they were the only two people left in the room, the woman in black robe walked up to Ye Qi with light lotus steps, looked straight into Ye Qi's somewhat panicked eyes, and then stretched out her small and delicate hand!

"Are you going to give it back to me? Or do you want me to take it from your corpse?"
