Junior Uncle is too cunning.

The auction was still ongoing, and Chen Fusheng could only obtain the Mind-Concentrating Grass after the auction ended. He could only sit quietly in the private room and watch without making any further moves, as he was simply too short of money.

The magic stones I just got have been mostly gone because of a Spirit Concentration Grass, and I'm also in dire need of money for baby formula. It's tough!

Looking at the wide variety of items—elixirs, spiritual treasures… the more he looked, the more precious they became. There were a few items that Chen Fusheng found very tempting.

He just checked and found that the prices of spiritual treasures here are much higher than outside. Even after deducting intermediary fees, they are still higher than outside.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke to the door, and a well-dressed young woman walked in, bowed to Chen Fusheng, and asked, "Senior, what are your instructions?"

"Can you still hold auctions here now?"

"Well, I'm not quite sure. I'll go ask the shopkeeper. Please wait a moment, senior."

"Dong~dong~"

"come in."

A middle-aged man walked in. He had a particularly kind face. He glanced at Chen Fusheng, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. "Indeed, a true immortal." He gave Chen Fusheng a Taoist salute, laughed heartily, and asked directly, "This humble Taoist Sanbao greets fellow Daoist. I heard that you have a treasure you wish to participate in this auction?"

Sanbao was observing Chen Fusheng, and Chen Fusheng was also observing this fellow Daoist Sanbao. He was a mid-stage True Immortal. As expected of the Dao Alliance Auction House, even the shopkeeper was a True Immortal.

Although the name is a bit funny, since he dares to use the Three Treasures as his Daoist name, he must have some skills. He returned the greeting, nodded, and slowly said, "Indeed, I am the old Daoist Fireworker. I happen to have some unused spiritual treasures. Seeing that the atmosphere at this auction is quite good, I'm going to sell them wherever I go. I'm getting old and I'm too lazy to travel much. I just wanted to ask if you still take on these?"

The shopkeeper nodded calmly and replied affirmatively, "Of course, but this thing..."

Chen Fusheng understood and directly took out five spiritual treasures from his storage bag. Three of them were mid-grade defensive spiritual treasures, and the other two were low-grade spiritual treasures.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a look. Don't these spiritual treasures qualify?"

The shopkeeper didn't mind Chen Fusheng's arrogance. He gestured to Chen Fusheng, then picked up the three defensive spiritual treasures and examined them carefully. It's important to know that there are differences between spiritual treasures of the same level. Generally, defensive spiritual treasures are three or four levels higher than other spiritual treasures. This is normal, as they greatly increase one's safety, and sometimes a defensive spiritual treasure can even save your life.

Slowly setting down the spiritual treasures, a glint of fervor flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes as he tentatively asked, "These are indeed excellent treasures. I'll arrange for their disposal immediately. However, I've never seen such a craftsmanship before. I wonder which master craftsman created this masterpiece?"

Chen Fusheng picked up his teacup and took a slow sip. "I dare not speak of mastery, but I hope it pleases you, fellow Daoist."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. Although Chen Fusheng's words were vague, neither admitting nor denying, he now believed that those spiritual treasures were indeed made by Chen Fusheng. His attitude became even more respectful. You see, every weapon-refining master who can refine spiritual treasures is a renowned figure, and they are treated with deference wherever they go, let alone a weapon-refining master who can refine a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

The status of a mid-grade weapon refiner is comparable to that of a Xuanxian. After all, even if there are few Xuanxian, with some effort, there is still a chance to advance. Weapon refiners, on the other hand, are different. Without some talent, they can only refine a few mortal-grade top-quality items in their lifetime. He now felt a little sorry for Liu An. This iron plate was no ordinary weight!

"Then please have a seat, fellow Daoist. I'll go and make the arrangements."

Chen Fusheng nodded, looking at the smiling shopkeeper, not minding at all. After all, if he could make good friends with a master craftsman, he wouldn't have to worry about finding spiritual treasures.

This time, he deliberately revealed his identity as a weapon refiner, firstly to intimidate Liu An, and secondly because he planned to temporarily retain his identity as a fire-crafting Taoist.

I will definitely need a lot of refining materials and other items in the future, and the spiritual treasures I refine are just sitting in my hands anyway, so I might as well sell them to relieve some of my pressure.

Moreover, although Lingbao Pavilion is a sect business, it is too involved with Chen Fusheng. That is why he has never dared to reveal his identity as a weapon-refining master, and he also felt that it was unnecessary. Now, not only does he need healing medicine, but Li Shundao and Zhu Wuneng are two huge black holes.

The so-called sorting out of personal belongings is nothing more than increasing income and reducing expenditure. Reducing expenditure is definitely not an option, so the only option is to increase income.

Making some connection with this auction house manager will definitely be helpful to me in the future, and transactions will be more convenient. After all, being the manager of the Dao Alliance Auction House, a True Immortal, must have a wide network of connections.

Even if things go wrong, we can just withdraw; at most, we'll only lose one small account.

Below the stage, an attendant whispered a few words to Liu Lian. Liu Lian couldn't help but glance at Chen Fusheng's private box. The auction continued.

"Next item."

As the red cloth was lifted, a red dress appeared before everyone's eyes. It was a mid-grade acquired defensive spiritual treasure provided by Chen Fusheng. He originally planned to prepare it for Lu Ling'er in the future, but Ling'er was still far from becoming an immortal, so he took it out for the time being and would make her a better one later.

"Fellow Daoists, please take a look. This is a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, forged from gold bead threads and incorporating numerous precious gems. It was meticulously crafted by a mid-grade weapon-refining master. Not only is it beautiful in appearance, but it is also warm in winter and cool in summer, waterproof and fireproof, and its defensive power is astonishing. Even a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure would find it difficult to penetrate it in one go. Please take a look."

Liu Lian casually took out a sword, which Chen Fusheng immediately recognized as an excellent high-grade spiritual treasure. "This is my sword, a high-grade spiritual treasure," he said, and then stabbed it fiercely into Ling Yi.

The crowd gasped in disbelief, especially the female immortals, who expressed their regret. After all, they had never seen such a beautiful and fashionable spirit dress before, and it was such a pity that it was ruined!

Chen Fusheng raised an eyebrow. It seemed that this shopkeeper had a lot of confidence in him!

Liu Lian picked up the spirit garment and showed it to everyone. The spirit garment was still intact, without a single mark.

The atmosphere instantly became heated, and the female immortals couldn't wait to bid and eagerly made their moves, driving prices up one after another. It seems that beauty knows no boundaries between mortals and immortals.

Chen Fusheng watched the crowd scrambling for the bread with a smug look on his face. He knew that with the bread secured, he wouldn't have to worry about the milk powder money anymore!

Next, because of Chen Fusheng's five spiritual treasures, the immortals at the auction were fighting tooth and nail to buy them, and even Chen Fusheng himself bought several rare refining materials.

……

The auction had ended, and Chen Fusheng waited quietly. Soon, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Sanbao walked in with Liulian. Chen Fusheng was puzzled. He glanced at Liulian and then turned to look at Sanbao. He hadn't expected Liulian to come back. Although he admired Liulian's temperament, he didn't want too many people to know about his affairs. If Sanbao couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, then the white-bearded old Taoist priest would have no reason to exist.

When Sanbao saw Chen Fusheng's displeased look, he knew he was in trouble. Originally, he really didn't want anyone to know Chen Fusheng's identity, and it would be best if only he knew in the future. However, things were different with Liu Nian. Although the other party was an auctioneer at the auction, Sanbao couldn't control him at all. In fact, he was more inclined to flatter him and keep his distance.

Liu Lian wanted to come along, but he didn't dare say anything. His mouth was full of bitterness. Just as he was about to explain, Liu Lian spoke first, bowing deeply to Chen Fusheng. Chen Fusheng's vision went white as Liu Lian stood up straight, her clear, cold voice ringing out, "Fellow Daoist, I insisted on coming. I hope you won't blame the shopkeeper. I came up only to thank you. Thank you for helping me out earlier. I, Liu Lian, owe you a favor. As for Liu An, I will handle him. He won't cause you any trouble. You two talk. I'll go out first."

After regaining his composure, Chen Fusheng's expression softened considerably. Seeing that Liulian was leaving, he said to Sanbao, "Fellow Daoist, please sit down."

Sanbao breathed a slight sigh of relief. This did not mean that he was afraid of Chen Fusheng, but as a businessman, he did not want to offend a master craftsman.

"Fellow Daoist Huogong, your five spiritual treasures sold for a total of 123,600 low-grade immortal stones. After deducting the treasures you purchased and the auction house's commission, you will receive a total of 99,000 low-grade immortal stones back. Fellow Daoist, please take a look," he said, showing Chen Fusheng the ledger.

He glanced at it casually, nodded, and indicated his agreement.

"These are your items, fellow Daoist. Please take a look. Also, do you want low-grade or other grades of immortal stones?"

Looking at the Spirit-Concentrating Grass emitting starlight, he examined it with his divine sense and was delighted. He quickly put everything away and nodded in satisfaction. "Keep 10,000 low-grade items, and exchange the rest for mid-grade items. Thank you, fellow Daoist."

Chen Fusheng knew that exchanging mid-grade immortal stones for him was the other party's apology for what had just happened. Although a thousand low-grade immortal stones could be exchanged for one mid-grade immortal stone, very few people would do it, and even spending more low-grade immortal stones wouldn't get them. It could be said that he had made a profit.

“It’s alright. Fellow Daoist Huogong is, after all, one of our big clients. This is a VIP token for the auction, which will give you a 20% discount at any Dao Alliance auction in the future,” Sanbao smiled happily.

Chen Fusheng accepted the kindness, and the relationship between the two became more harmonious. In an environment where both parties were interested in each other, their feelings progressed rapidly.
