Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

In this world, silver serves as the primary currency for daily transactions, used to purchase ordinary clothing, jewelry, and other everyday items, thus fulfilling people's basic needs.

Spirit stones are a rare and valuable currency, and their special feature is that they are used specifically to purchase high-level items such as elixirs and magical artifacts.

As powerful creatures in this world, spirit beasts possess cores containing immense energy, whose value is equivalent to spirit stones. Therefore, spirit beast cores can be exchanged for spirit stones.

Since Grandpa went into seclusion, those people have been frequently cutting back on their monthly allowances, and the food they eat is always the leftovers. Now, there are just too many places where they need money.

After much thought, he decided to sell the pills he had refined to get some money back. Having a little money on him would give him more confidence.

After leaving the space, Lu Lingxi carefully disguised herself, as if she were a different person, and quietly left the courtyard.

A young man, dressed in a simple yet elegant blue robe, the hem of his robe swaying gently with his light steps, seemed to possess a composure and grace beyond his years.

His high ponytail made him look exceptionally energetic, revealing a sense of neatness and decisiveness. This attire and temperament made him stand out in the bustling crowd, more like a precocious young master from a noble mansion.

He weaved through the bustling crowd, looking around before his gaze finally settled on a signboard on a building, a flicker of interest in his eyes.

"Shengyuan Auction House..."

At this moment, the waiter came to greet them.

"Young master, please come in. Our Shengyuan not only has all kinds of new clothes and jewelry, but also regularly auctions rare spiritual herbs, pills, spiritual weapons, and spiritual pets. Please feel free to take a look?"

She nodded slightly and smiled at the shopkeeper, saying, "I originally intended to just browse around, but I didn't expect there to be an auction here. I have some pills that I urgently need to auction. I wonder if you would be interested?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter's eyes were full of respect. He knew that a customer who could bring out pills for auction was no ordinary person, so he quickly replied.

“Young master, you have excellent taste. Our auction house often attracts bids for many rare and precious items. Please wait a moment while I go and fetch the manager of our auction house to discuss this with you in detail.”

After saying that, he turned and jogged toward the back hall, his steps filled with urgency and excitement.

A short while later, a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent robe and wearing a smile walked in with the waiter. His eyes revealed the keenness of a merchant and his desire for treasures.

"This is Manager Li, the head of our auction house," the waiter introduced.

Manager Li stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and spoke in a gentle yet firm voice.

"My name is Li Cheng. Welcome, young master! I've heard you have some pills you wish to auction. May I examine their quality first so I can arrange a suitable time and method for the auction?"

She smiled and nodded, then took out a delicate little porcelain bottle from her sleeve and gently placed it on the table.

Manager Li immediately stepped forward and carefully opened the bottle cap. Instantly, a fresh yet rich medicinal fragrance filled the air, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, what a wonderful medicine! The quality and color are both top-notch."

Manager Li praised the pills repeatedly, and then inquired carefully about their types, effects, and quantities, having already made up his mind.

“Young master, your elixir is indeed precious. Our auction house would be very happy to hold a special auction for you. As for the specific details of the auction, including the commission rate and publicity strategy, we can discuss them in more detail,” Manager Li said sincerely.

To facilitate the conversation, Manager Li led her up to the fifth floor.

Stepping into this private room on the fifth floor is like entering a secret realm that is both classical and full of spiritual energy.

The marble floor gleamed with a warm luster, and the spirit-gathering stone on the wall filled the entire room with a rich spiritual energy. As the door gently closed, all fatigue and worries seemed to vanish in that instant.

The combination of the mahogany tables and chairs with the blue and white porcelain teapot is both rustic and elegant, yet refreshingly refined.

The teapot has delicate patterns and a warm luster, as if you can see the steam and aroma of tea rising inside through the surface of the porcelain.

Eight porcelain teacups, neatly arranged on the tray, are crystal clear and await the pouring of fragrant tea, anticipating each intimate encounter with the tea drinker.

On the fruit platter beside it, the fresh spiritual fruits were not only tempting, but also contained the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Taking a bite would make one feel refreshed and invigorated, and one's cultivation would also improve.

This setup is undoubtedly a meticulous preparation by Manager Li for his conversation with guests, allowing them to enjoy a feast for both the eyes and the palate while also focusing more intently on the ensuing dialogue.

In such an environment, whether discussing important matters or enjoying tea and conversation, everything feels exceptionally pleasant and relaxed.

Lu Lingxi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, the lives of the rich are truly luxurious, with such exquisite living and eating conditions.

Lu Lingxi took a sip of tea and asked, "Manager Li, how many spirit stones can I get for those pills just now?"

Shopkeeper Li smiled, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes. He replied softly, "Young master, the Grade Two Supreme Advancement Pill you possess is indeed a rare treasure. The demand in the market has always been quite strong. Based on our auction house's past transaction records and market assessments, setting a starting price of 500 mid-grade spirit stones is a very reasonable estimate. Of course, considering the intensity of the bidding, the final transaction price may very well reach 1600 spirit stones, or even significantly higher."

"As for the commission, we will charge a standard rate of 20%, which will cover our operating costs, advertising expenses, and various services provided to buyers and sellers. Although this may seem like a considerable expense, please rest assured that through our auction house platform, your pills will be able to attract a wider range of buyers, thereby maximizing their value."

Shopkeeper Li paused, observing the boy's reaction. Seeing that he did not show any displeasure, he continued, "Of course, we also respect the seller's wishes. If you have any doubts or special needs regarding this auction, such as wishing to set a minimum transaction price or other forms of cooperation, we are willing to discuss them further with you to strive for a win-win situation."

As he spoke, Manager Li took out an exquisite contract from the drawer beside him and gently pushed it in front of Lu Lingxi Yao. "This is the auction house's consignment contract. Please take a look. If you have no objections, we can sign the contract and begin preparing for the auction."

"No rush, I also have a few bottles of repair pills here, auction them off to me as well."

Lu Lingxi took out the remaining two bottles of advancement pills and six bottles of repair pills from her bosom and handed them to Manager Li.

Manager Li looked at the pill in his hand, his eyes gleaming with disbelief, and his smile grew even brighter.

He gently stroked the crystal-clear jade bottles, feeling the powerful medicinal properties contained within, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Young Master, you have truly amazed me! These advancement pills and repair pills are all top-quality among the finest, their value far exceeding that of ordinary pills."

"Especially the Advancement Pill, which is a rare treasure for cultivators, enabling nine-star spiritual masters to successfully break through bottlenecks. The Repair Pill is even more crucial for quickly recovering physical strength and injuries after being injured, making it an indispensable treasure for cultivators when traveling."

At this point, Manager Li stared intently at the young man, as if he were looking at a treasure trove.

"Young Master, are you really going to auction all of these? Once these pills are auctioned, they will definitely cause quite a stir, and may even attract the attention of some sect elders or reclusive masters."

Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, her expression calm.

"Manager Li, you flatter me. Although treasures possess a spirit, they still need to find a destined owner. I believe that these pills will find their home in your auction house, and I will be able to obtain what I need as a result."

Upon hearing this, Manager Li nodded in deep agreement.

“What you say makes sense, young master. Let’s get started on the preparations. Such top-grade pills should naturally be promoted and auctioned in a way that befits their status. Rest assured, I will personally supervise the entire process to ensure that every step is done perfectly.”

Thus, the two signed the contract in a pleasant atmosphere. Manager Li carefully put away the jade bottle and then arranged for people to promote and prepare the pills for the young man.

Before leaving, he solemnly promised Lu Lingxi Yao, "Young Master, rest assured, I will make sure these pills perform to their full potential and live up to your trust."

Lu Lingxi watched Manager Li leave, a strange sense of anticipation welling up in her heart.
