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

Chairman Kim coughed lightly: "Everyone thought there was only this one drop, so the bids were naturally high. If they knew there were two more drops to come, or even more, the price would definitely be different."

Zhong Ran looked away, realizing that what he said made sense.

She glanced at Baili Duojin with curiosity, and he quickly sat up straight, raised his head and puffed out his chest, and introduced himself in a serious manner.

"Greetings, Mr. Zhong. I would like to formally introduce myself to you. I am Baili Duojin, the fifth young master of the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce."

"However, from this moment on, I am already your younger brother Zhong Yan's subordinate. In short, I am now your subordinate."

Zhong Ran's lips twitched uncontrollably twice, and she glanced at Zhong Yan again.

The latter shrugged helplessly at her, but he hadn't said anything yet.

She withdrew her gaze and slapped the cauldron with her palm.

Baili Duojin, who had been sitting upright, suddenly appeared next to the cauldron in a flash.

"Junior Sister, I heard that the pills you refined this time are Dragon Ascension Pills?"

"Can you sell these Dragon Ascension Pills to our Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce? Or you can give them to our Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce and we'll help you send them to another place for auction. We won't take a single penny of the proceeds; we'll deposit them all into your black gold card. We guarantee you won't lose out."

Chairman Song and the others also gathered around, and when they saw that there were actually five Ascending Dragon Pills with two-level pill patterns lying inside, they were all shocked and their eyes widened.

"You actually made five pills! Xiao Ran, how did you do that?"

Zhong Ran didn't speak. This was because she had asked Xiao Ding to put away some of the pills. She almost never refined fewer than twelve pills at a time.

Of course, the maximum is twelve, and so far, she has not set a new record.

"Junior Sister, hand over all these Dragon Ascension Pills to our Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and we guarantee to elevate your reputation and wealth to several more levels."

Baili Duojin wished he could snatch it away, even if the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce didn't profit from Zhong Ran's spirit stones.

However, by using her reputation and elixirs, the Azure Dragon Merchant Guild could make a fortune.

For example, they made a fortune just from the ticket sales at this auction.

Just imagine, if every major branch did this once, the Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce would make a fortune.

"Junior Sister, I guarantee that the Azure Dragon Merchant Guild will not make a single spirit stone off you. All the profits will be deposited into your Black Gold Card. No matter where you are, you can use the Black Gold Card to withdraw cash from the local Azure Dragon Merchant Guild."

Fearing that Zhong Ran wouldn't believe him, Baili Duojin repeatedly assured her.

Zhong Ran said calmly, "Alright, I believe you. However, we'll put two more up for auction here today, and you can send the rest to another auction."

"I'll send you some more before I leave, and you can make the arrangements then."

She's willing to maximize her profits.

You know, she's really poor. The more spirit stones she has, the better. She'll never complain about it.

Today, the spiritual herbs refined by the small cauldron are only enough for one batch of pills. Next time, it can refine two more batches.

"However, the medicinal ingredients for the Dragon Ascension Pill are too hard to find, and I don't have many left."

Many of the medicinal herbs in the Rising Dragon Pill require a specific environment to grow.

Without being nourished by dragon's blood, it cannot grow.

A substitute elixir? The resulting pills would not be true Dragon Ascension Pills.

She actually received quite a lot back then, but she couldn't say that, or it would cause a lot of trouble.

Baili Duojin nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Junior Sister, I know what to do and I will pass on the instructions."

"However, it would be better to put one more up at today's auction; too many will not produce better results."

Elder Song, Elder Jin, and others nodded in agreement. Scarcity increases value, and only in this way can the value be maximized.

Seeing this, Zhong Ran said nothing more.

In this respect, they know more than she does.

He handed the five Rising Dragon Pills to Baili Duojin, who excitedly picked them up and said with a smile, "Junior Sister, Junior Brother, seniors, please take your time watching the auction. I'll make the arrangements."

After saying that, he left the VIP room.

President Song surrounded Zhong Ran and asked, "Xiao Ran, do you usually achieve this many pills?"

Zhong Ran walked to the window and looked down twice before asking, "Why did Chairman Song say that?"

President Song chuckled twice: "From my observation and understanding, your alchemy has always been very stable. Even when they make things difficult for you, you can still produce top-grade pills."

"So, you must produce quite a few pills using your own alchemy furnace, right?"

Zhong Ran chuckled softly: "And then?"

Chairman Song: ...

So, is she admitting that her usual pill-forming rate is not low?

This girl, as expected, has been hiding a lot.

"How many pills do you have left? Our Alchemist Guild can buy them all."

Zhong Ran turned to look at him and walked towards the sofa. Bai Zi quickly squeezed Xiao Bei Jing in to make room for her.

"Sister, come sit here."

As soon as Zhong Ran sat down, she leaned over and hugged her arm in a coquettish manner.

Zhong Ran ignored her and instead asked Chairman Song with interest, "How much can Chairman Song offer? Is it the same as last time?"

President Song's breathing faltered slightly, just like last time? A seventh-grade pill costs twenty billion spirit stones?

He can't.

Given the situation last time, he had no choice but to do it that way. But if he were to offer two billion for each one, plus a cauldron, the other elders would definitely remove him from office.

"Xiao Ran, our relationship..."

Mu Jinning said quietly, "What relationship? How come we don't know?"

Zhong Ran nodded seriously: "Yes, what's the relationship? I don't know either."

Chairman Song: ...

Knowing that this young girl and the people around her were not easily fooled, he had to change his approach.

"Xiao Ran, why don't you come to the guild and become an elder?"

"You don't need to work regular hours. The guild will prioritize supplying you with any medicinal herbs you need, and even the rarest ones will have a discount. How about that?"

Zhong Yan gave a cold laugh: "Why don't you say what your requirements are?"

He had many memories of his predecessors, and he knew how many pills these elders needed to supply to the Alchemist Guild every month.

The rules vary from place to place. It seems that some elixirs that can be purchased first from the guild will require you to hand over one elixir after it is completed.

The Alchemist Guild is doing this without any investment; they're trying to scam his sister.

Given his sister's reputation, which of her pills wouldn't sell for several times the market price of an ordinary pill?

Even a single pill is extremely rare.

If Zhong Ran really joins the Alchemist Guild, the Alchemist Guild will definitely not suffer any loss.

Zhong Ran refused without even thinking: "I don't want to."

The elders were all old men and women; she didn't want to be with them.

Moreover, the Alchemist Guild had never given her a good impression, and she was even less willing to work with those people, wishing she could stay far away from them for the rest of her life.

Besides, she finds whatever spiritual herbs she needs herself, so why would she need the Alchemist Guild?

Now, the little cauldron is also releasing even greater functions along with her, and the space is full of all kinds of spiritual herbs, so there is no shortage at all.

Chairman Song: ...
