Female lead: No, it's me again??

At the entrance of the auction house, Shen Xuqing, dressed in black, stood with a servant girl, waiting for the distinguished guests to arrive.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Zhao Xiaoqi's impatient voice rang out, "Hey Hua Rouzhi, aren't you annoying?"

"You kept calling me 'Brother Xu Mo' the whole way. What, you can't live without Brother Xu Mo, can you?"

Hua Rouzhi asked cautiously, "Brother Xu Mo, does Sister Xiao Qi not like me?"

"I can walk."

She reached out to tug at Xu Mo's clothes, but the boy dodged her.

Xu Mo's expression was not good. "Miss Hua, please have some self-respect. I am not familiar with you."

Zhao Xiaoqi stood arrogantly in front of Xu Mo, staring at Hua Rouzhi with an unfriendly tone, "I'm warning you, stay put. If you dare to touch Brother Mo again, I'll chop off your paws!"

If it weren't for Xu Mo's father's request, would they have brought her along?

joke!

As Zhao Xiaoqi approached the door, she immediately spotted Shen Xuqing standing like a pillar in the doorway and called out to him.

"Brother Shen!"

Shen Xuqing looked in their direction, nodded, and then stared at the crowd coming and going at the entrance, seemingly looking for something.

The group walked up to him, and Zhao Xiaoqi asked, "Brother Shen, why are you ignoring us?"

"The auction house is very busy. Please find seats and I will come to find you later."

Zhao Xiaoqi didn't believe him. "So much trouble? Then what are you still standing here for, as a doorpost? I think you're just waiting for us..."

There were two words she didn't say, but her lewd expression betrayed her.

Shen Xuqing didn't think too much about it. He just urged the others to go inside quickly, "Many of the people coming later will be patriarchs and elders from various families. Don't bump into them here!"

Zhao Xiaoqi pouted, "Fine, I won't bother you while you're doing your work. Remember to come later!"

"I'll come when I have time."

Then, Zhao Xiaoqi followed Hua Rouzhi, Xu Mo, Luo Xiao and the others up to the second floor.

An old man strode in, "Hahaha, Little Shen, how's Brother Cai doing lately?"

Shen Xuqing said politely, "Manager Cai is all well. The private room on the third floor is ready. Please go there."

The man stroked his beard. "Alright, Xiao Shen, don't forget to tell Manager Cai about my matter."

"Manager Cai will make a decision when he has time."

"Good good!"

The visitor left happily.

It's noon now, and the auction won't start for another hour, so there aren't many people here.

When Feng Siyue and Xuan Li came in, Shen Xuqing was still standing there, wondering whether she should make a special door for Chu Han.

Until two figures appeared in front of him.

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Don't you recognize me?"

Xuan Li's voice woke Shen Xuqing from her daze.

Although she was wearing a mask, she was not difficult to recognize.

He bowed slightly. "Please forgive me, both of you. Manager Cai is already waiting for you on the fifth floor. Please follow me."

"Let's go."

Fifth floor.

Shen Xuqing served Feng Siyue and Xuan Li a cup of tea. "I'll go call Manager Cai right away. Please wait a moment."

He backed out.

A moment later, Steward Cai rushed in, "Sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Feng Siyue put down her teacup. "It's nothing."

Steward Cai took out a storage ring.

"Last time you consigned 734 pills here. They were sold in units of 10, and the rest were sold in small batches. After deducting a 5% commission, the price was 1653 high-grade spirit stones and 190 mid-grade spirit stones."

"Everything is inside, please check it."

"Wow, no wonder they say alchemists make money!"

Xuan Li laughed from the side.

Cai Zhongxi chimed in, "That's right, alchemists are one of the most lucrative professions on the continent."

Feng Siyue put the spirit stones back into her ring, and then transferred the grade three pills she had refined into the ring as well.

"This is a grade three pill. Please use it."

Cai Zhongxi was surprised.

"Third rank?"

She's already able to refine third-grade pills?

After a short while, Cai Zhongxi said,

"My lord, here are 50 Spirit Suppression Pills, 50 Ghost Return Pills, 50 Barrier Breaking Pills, 100 Heavenly Glaze Pills, 70 Detoxifying Pills, 50 Fire Cloud Pills, and 40 Cold Condensing Pills, for a total of 410 pills. I'll take them to the appraisal office for identification now."

Cai Zhongxi couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement!

Her talent is extraordinary!

Xuan Li nodded.

Fifteen minutes later, Cai Zhongxi returned again.

"My lord, all the pills are of perfect grade three quality. The price for a single pill is 1,500 high-grade spirit stones, and the price for a small batch of ten pills is 14,000 high-grade spirit stones."

"Alright, you can go and handle it yourselves."

"Yes, sir. The young master just sent a letter and is waiting for you on the fifth floor of the auction house. I will have Shen Xuqing lead the way to you."

"it is good."

Shen Xuqing led the two down to the first floor, through the lobby, and out to the outside, where they saw a shimmering lake.

Pink lotus flowers bloom in the lake, and willows sway gently in the breeze.

Large raindrops pounded on the lake's surface, creating ripples.

There was also a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

Feng Siyue and Shen Xuqing walked forward, holding up oil-paper umbrellas.

Aren't you going to use an umbrella?

Xuan Li looked at Shen Xuqing, who was getting soaked in the rain, and asked.

"It's just a few steps, you don't need to push yourself."

The cultivator could use his spiritual power to keep warm and dry his clothes, so he didn't care about this little bit of rain.

"Oh."
