Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

President Teng laughed and said, "You must be Asheng? It's quite rare to find someone who is a descendant of barbarians."

"The Qinglong Chamber of Commerce has gathered all kinds of talents, so making some delicious jerky is no problem for them. If you like it, I'll buy some more for you later."

"Here, there's some monster meat here too, I'll give it to you as well."

He took out a spatial ring and handed it to Ah Sheng, his smile somewhat lewd, like a big bad wolf about to abduct a child.

Ah Sheng stared at him with wide eyes, then reached out and took the spatial ring. When he discovered that there was so much monster meat inside, he grinned from ear to ear.

"Hehe, I like meat."

Although he no longer gets hungry as easily as before, and no longer feels constantly hungry.

But he still loves to eat meat, and he eats a lot of meat in one meal.

Previously, when he was at the restaurant, Old Man Jin had someone send him ten roasted monsters, which made him very happy.

Although the old man wasn't giving him roasted meat, the monster meat he gave him contained a rich spiritual energy.

He knew these were powerful magical beasts, and their meat was the most delicious.

President Teng knew he had made the right choice. He sat down next to the young man, who was quite large. Even with his clothes on, his muscles exuded power.

"Kid, how about you stay by my side from now on? I promise to give you plenty of meat every day so you'll never go hungry."

Ah Sheng shook his head and refused. He liked to eat meat, but he didn't want to leave his sister.

"No, I want to stay with my sister."

Yun Tianyu laughed and said, "Although this kid loves to eat meat, you can't fool him with meat alone."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Ji Qingyun stepped forward and tossed a spatial ring to Asheng: "Asheng, I also have some monster meat here. It might not be as good as what that old man gave me, but it's still quite delicious. Do you want some?"

Ah Sheng didn't refuse anything, so he reached out and took the meat, moving it all to his own space.

He still preferred the space his sister gave him; it was big enough that anything sent inside would remain alive and wouldn't become dead.

Live monsters are caught, their blood is drunk, and then the meat is roasted and eaten; it tastes better than meat from monsters that have long since died.

Even someone who loves meat like a fanatic can distinguish between what tastes good and what doesn't.

Zhong Ran laughed along with him. Ah Sheng was a stubborn person. Perhaps from the first time they met, when she fed him meat, he had already decided that she was his older sister.

Regardless of the circumstances, he acknowledges her, and she will treat him like a younger brother and spoil him.

She walked to the window and looked down. This spot must be on a high floor, overlooking the entire auction venue below.

The auction hall was very large, with rows of seats arranged in a semi-circular arch supporting the auction platform above.

Judging by the size of the venue, there are at least tens of thousands of people sitting below.

But there are definitely more than 10,000 people at today's venue.

Besides the seats, the aisles and the back were also packed with people.

President Jin walked to her side and said softly, "Now you know how attractive the Dragon Ascension Pill and the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk are to cultivators, right?"

Zhong Ran muttered softly, "So, I lost money selling to you, didn't I?"

Chairman Kim's breath hitched slightly, and he coughed lightly: "That's not how you say it. We didn't cheat you."

Selling it to them, even if it doesn't fetch a higher price than at an auction, is still a profitable deal.

Only she could sell a pill worth 3 billion top-grade spirit stones for such a high price.

"Do you think if I take this opportunity to refine more pills, I can still sell them at auction?"

President Song stepped to her side and raised both hands in agreement: "You want to refine pills here? I'll help you out."

Zhong Ran turned to look at him and said, "No need."

She turned around, released the small cauldron with a bang, and took out the spiritual liquid and medicinal powder that the cauldron had refined over the past day and began to fuse them together.

Chairman Song and the others observed her actions and discovered that she had skipped the part about refining the spiritual medicine.

No wonder she dared to start refining pills at the auction.

If it's just about fusing and condensing the pill, the speed will be much faster and the time won't be much shorter. She'll be able to produce the pill soon after the auction starts.

If there are too many pills, the price will definitely be greatly reduced.

However, at most only two pills can be produced in one batch, so it won't have much impact on the price.

Everyone quieted down, even the people who were chatting fell silent.

The auction below hasn't officially started yet, so everyone is watching Zhong Ran refine pills, especially the two maids.

Seeing Zhong Ran refining pills right there, the two exchanged a glance, and one of them quietly slipped away.

The three members of the association looked up, but ignored them and continued watching Zhong Ran refine pills.

It was the first time he had ever seen Zhong Ran refine pills. He returned home a little late that day, but he had seen the commemorative stone of her refining pills.

However, the portraits inside were very blurry and unclear for some reason.

Later, I looked at several other people's photo stones, and they were all blurry. Then I realized that it wasn't the photo stones that were the problem, but rather Zhong Ran's own behavior.

Although he couldn't see the photograph clearly, he learned from Lady Yun that the pill-condensing technique she used was an extremely ancient one that could effectively improve the quality of the pills.

This may be why Zhong Ran was able to successfully create pills in one go, and all of them were top-grade pills.

On the other side, Manager Liu was stunned when he heard from the maid that Zhong Ran had arrived and was even refining pills in the private room. He was also shocked to hear that she was refining the Ascending Dragon Pill.

I've always heard that girl is extraordinary, but this is just too extraordinary!

Is she going to refine pills and auction them off at the same time?

Speaking of which, the pills she concocted have always been highly sought after by the world, right?

Every time she produces a pill, it's immediately bought up.

She seems to be lacking in spirit stones.

He stroked his beard, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes, and instructed the maid to treat them well and to report any unusual situations immediately.

He turned around and went to a room on the fifth floor.

There are only five rooms on the fifth floor, one of which is the room where Zhong Ran and her group are.

The other two are also Black Gold members, but they are both empty.

The remaining two are rooms on the upper floors inside.

One of the rooms is occupied by a powerful figure who is stationed here. There are too many cultivators here today, so the Chamber of Commerce headquarters sent two Mahayana stage experts to oversee the situation.

In the other room, there was only one young man, lounging in a chaise lounge with a bamboo scroll resting on his chest.

His eyes were closed, and his breathing was extremely light. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, one would think he was a painting.

A soft knock broke the silence in the room. The young man didn't open his eyes, but simply said, "Come in."

Manager Liu pushed the door open and came in. He glanced at the young man, then quickly looked away, speaking very softly.

"Fifth Young Master, Zhong Ran has arrived at the venue. She's in the black and gold box next door, and she's currently refining the Dragon Ascension Pill."
