The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

After bidding farewell to her master and two senior brothers, Gu Lingxi arrived at Baicaotang. She had been coming frequently these past few days, and the young shop assistants at Baicaotang already recognized her and warmly greeted her!

Young Master Ling, what kind of pills do you wish to buy today?

I'm not buying any elixirs today. Just bring me a variety of all the herbs in your shop. Take more of the common ones and fewer of the rare ones! I don't care about their age, I'll take any that are decades old, bring them all!

Okay, please wait a moment!

The waiter soon brought over a huge pile of all sorts of spiritual herbs and medicines! There were few that had been stored for hundreds of years, but quite a lot that had been stored for decades!

Are you trying to refine an elixir? Many alchemists buy large quantities of herbs to practice with!

Hmm! Yes, why isn't there any Ghostly Grass?

Oh! The Youying Grass is used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills. There are no herbs that are a hundred years old, and those that are a few decades old are useless and no one buys them. So the shop does not buy this herb. If Young Master Ling needs it, I will keep an eye out for it for you. They are all over fifty years old!

Sure, thanks a lot, bro! Could you calculate the total number of spirit stones for me?

Okay, there are fifty kinds of herbs in total, three hundred plants in total, which is three thousand four hundred mid-grade spirit stones! I'll give you a 20% discount, so it'll be two thousand seven hundred and twenty mid-grade spirit stones.

Spiritual stone!

"Okay!" Gu Lingxi waved her hand and took out 2,730 mid-grade spirit stones. "The extra is yours. Remember to let me know when you get any Youying Grass in East Street!"

The shop assistant was all smiles, having just received a reward of ten mid-grade spirit stones. This young master Ling was truly generous; his monthly salary was only five mid-grade spirit stones! This was equivalent to two months' income for him, and he also received a commission of three mid-grade spirit stones from this order!

Thank you so much, Young Master Ling! I will do my best to help you find the Ghostly Grass as soon as possible!

Gu Lingxi nodded in satisfaction. Money makes the world go round, and she was now quite wealthy. If giving a small reward could help resolve the matter more quickly, she would be happy to do so!

The difference is huge now! Looks like I'll have to go check out the black market auction again!

Arriving at a secluded place, Gu Lingxi put on a high-grade magic robe to conceal her cultivation, then wore a mask to cover her face, and took a voice-changing pill before swaggering towards the black market!

She found the manager in charge of collecting the auction items, familiar with the place, and took out two bottles of spirit spring water! She was worried that if there was a strange fire, she wouldn't have enough spirit stones, which would be embarrassing! She currently had 240,000 mid-grade spirit stones on her! With the two bottles of spirit spring water, that should be enough!

In the hall, many cultivators had already arrived. Some of them had high cultivation levels and did not try to conceal their abilities, while others, like her, had their cultivation levels and faces completely covered.

Before long, an old man carrying a tray walked up to the platform!

Fellow Daoists, thank you for your patience. The first auction of the day is about to begin!

The first item is a Tier 3 flying sword! It's incredibly fast, and the blade is forged from the spine of a Tier 4 Gale Wolf! It's extremely rare! The starting bid is 100 mid-grade spirit stones! Each bid must be at least 50 mid-grade spirit stones higher! Let's begin!

Gu Lingxi had a flying cloud boat given to her by her master, so she didn't need a flying sword and wasn't interested in it. However, there were quite a few bidders from below the stage, and in the end, it was sold to a female cultivator for six hundred mid-grade spirit stones!

Gu Lingxi wasn't interested in the second or third item!

The fourth item was a plain white silk ribbon, which Gu Lingxi quite liked!

A fourth-tier offensive and defensive weapon, the Thousand-Grade Snow Refinement! Crafted from cloud silk spun by a thousand-year-old snow silkworm, along with rare Qi-refining materials such as celestial stones, it's a must-have! Starting bid: 1000 mid-grade spirit stones! Each bid must be at least 50 mid-grade spirit stones higher!

Most of those who use such simple, elegant attack magic weapons are female cultivators! This fourth-grade Snow Silk Magic Weapon is even rarer, and there are many bidders! Gu Lingxi thinks it's best to wait until the very end before bidding!

Three thousand mid-grade spirit stones, anyone else bidding? The old man raised his hammer and struck the gong twice, three thousand mid-grade spirit stones!

"I'll bid three thousand and fifty mid-grade spirit stones!" Gu Lingxi held up the plaque in her hand!

The woman who asked for three thousand was so angry that her eyes widened!

I'll offer four thousand mid-grade spirit stones!

Gu Lingxi... add another fifty yuan!

Five thousand yuan...

Gu Lingxi... add another fifty yuan!

"You're deliberately causing trouble, aren't you!" The female cultivator was furious! But she couldn't do anything because of the auction house rules!

Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. You add yours, I add mine; whoever adds more spirit stones naturally gets the prize! How can you say I'm causing trouble? This isn't your business, and you can't stop me from raising the price!

Perhaps the female cultivator was truly out of spirit stones, and Gu Lingxi won the bid for her with 5,050 mid-grade spirit stones!

Her two bottles of spiritual spring water were sold at auction for 140,000 and 160,000 mid-grade spirit stones respectively!

The final and most anticipated item is a cluster of thousand-year-old flames! Ranked tenth on the list of extraordinary flames! Its effects are self-evident; it's a favorite among fire-type cultivators and alchemists. Don't miss out, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Starting bid: 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones! Each bid must increase by at least 1,000 mid-grade spirit stones! Begin!

What was expected to be an exceptionally popular finale turned out to be surprisingly quiet, with only a handful of people actually bidding. In the end, only one elderly man was bidding.

I'll offer two hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones!

Seeing that no one else was bidding, Gu Lingxi joined in!

Two hundred and one thousand mid-grade spirit stones!

I'll offer 250,000.

Gu Lingxi continued to bid, 300,000!

The old man looked pained; 310,000!

Gu Lingxi, 400,000!

The old man was furious. This idiot! Is this how you bid? He'd already bid on several magical artifacts and a bottle of spiritual water today, and he only had 300,000 spirit stones left. He wouldn't have any more than that, otherwise, how could some cowardly guy have snatched his exotic fire from him? Could the other party also be an alchemist? Master Liu looked on with regret as Gu Lingxi snatched the exotic fire right before his eyes!

After settling her payment for the spirit stones at the auction house, Gu Lingxi sighed that spirit stones really don't last long! They come quickly and go quickly! After spending them, she still had about 140,000 mid-grade spirit stones left!

However, obtaining this strange flame is definitely worthwhile! Ah Li can at least refine fourth-tier pills for her after absorbing it! Then she can plant more spiritual herbs and medicines, letting Ah Li refine pills for her as much as she wants, and she can achieve pill freedom! Not only can she eat them like candy, but she can also sell them for spirit stones! And Ah Li won't fail to refine them! This is definitely a divine artifact!

As Gu Lingxi left the auction, she discovered that she was being followed by more than one tail!

Hurrying up, Gu Lingxi arrived at the Nine Nether Guild, quickly took off her clothes and mask in a secluded corner of the hall! She swaggered around for a few minutes, then went up to the second floor to sell some talismans! Only then did she leave the guild! None of her few followers recognized her! Gu Lingxi scoffed; with this level of skill, they dared to follow her!
