Rebirth of Jinxuan

The man seemed to sense Lu Jinxuan's gaze and suddenly turned his head, revealing only the half of his expressionless face beneath his cloak.

Lu Jinxuan raised an eyebrow slightly, looked away, and followed the guide to the registration desk.

Lu Yuhang rode on Zhang Yuxi's shoulders, looking around like a little general, excitedly pointing ahead, "Daddy, look, that person's hat is so strange!" Qian Feng carried a giant sword, following closely behind, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, always on guard.

A long queue formed at the registration desk, filled with noise. A middle-aged man impatiently urged, "Next! Please show your gold card!"

When it was Lu Jinxuan's turn, she shrugged and smiled mischievously: "Gold card? I don't have one."

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Zhang Yuxi behind her, a hint of contempt in his eyes. "Young master, where is your gold card? You cannot enter the auction house without a gold card."

Zhang Yuxi took out a small box carefully wrapped in cloth from her bosom and said calmly, "I don't have a gold card, but this pill is worth four thousand gold coins. I wonder if it can be used as a substitute?"

The middle-aged man glanced disdainfully at the unremarkable cloth bag. "Pills? With this? Do you know the rules of our auction house? No gold card..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Yuxi slowly opened the cloth bag, revealing the pills lying quietly inside.

The elixir was translucent and emitted a faint fragrance, with a pure spiritual energy flowing within it, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

The middle-aged man's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; the quality of this elixir far exceeded his expectations!

He quickly put on a fawning smile and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Third Elder! Second Elder! First Elder! Come quickly!"

The three elders arrived upon hearing the news and were all surprised to see the pills in Zhang Yuxi's hand.

The Third Elder took the pill with trembling hands, examined it carefully, took a deep breath, and felt a surge of pure spiritual energy rush to his head, giving him a mental boost.

"This...this is a top-grade Qi Condensation Pill! It's several times better than the ones refined by the Alchemy Hall!" He was so excited that his old face turned red.

The young woman beside her rolled her eyes impatiently and said coquettishly, "It's just a pill, why are you making such a fuss? Can you afford to waste my time?" The old man who looked like a steward next to her stared intently at the pill, deep in thought.

The Second Elder immediately ordered someone to bring over a fine white jade bottle, carefully divided the pills into three portions, bottled them separately, and labeled them.

"Young master, this elixir is truly precious. Please tell us who made it?" the Second Elder asked respectfully.

Zhang Yuxi simply smiled faintly and did not answer.

The middle-aged man who had been in charge of registration was already sweating profusely; he had offended a distinguished guest!

He hurriedly bowed and scraped as he called over a female guide, "Quickly, take our esteemed guest to the VIP lounge!"

The woman, with a charming smile, led Lu Jinxuan and the others to a luxurious lounge area. "Distinguished guests, please wait a moment; the auction is about to begin."

A moment later, the Third Elder personally came and returned one of the bottles of pills to Zhang Yuxi. "Young Master, these are your pills, please keep them safe. In addition, we have arranged the best VIP room for you." He gestured "please" and led Lu Jinxuan and the others towards the VIP passage.

The young woman watched them walk towards the VIP entrance, stamping her feet in anger. "Why can they go to the VIP room? I want to go too!" The butler whispered a few words in her ear, and the woman reluctantly followed the guide into the lobby.

Lu Jinxuan and the others walked through a long corridor and arrived at a lavishly decorated private room.

"Distinguished guest, please wait here for a moment. The auction will begin shortly." The woman who was guiding the guests finished speaking and prepared to leave.

Lu Jinxuan called out to her, "Wait a minute." She looked around at the exquisite furnishings and soft chairs, but felt a sense of loneliness. "Can we go sit in the lobby?"

The woman guiding her chuckled, "You flatter me, esteemed guest. This VIP room has the best view and is attended to by dedicated staff. It's far superior to the main hall." Lu Jinxuan shook her head, "I prefer a lively atmosphere." Her gaze swept past the woman guiding her and caught sight of the young woman who had been left standing aside being seated. A thought struck her.

“Young lady,” Lu Jinxuan said, pointing to the young woman, “may we sit in the hall with her?” The woman guiding her looked hesitant. “This…I’m afraid it’s against the rules.”

“Rules are rules, but people are flexible,” Lu Jinxuan said firmly. “I paid a high price; don’t I even have the right to choose my seat?” She pointed to the pills in the white jade bottle in Zhang Yuxi’s hand. “Are these enough?”

The woman was speechless for a moment. How could the value of this top-grade Qi Condensation Pill be measured by money?

She looked to the Third Elder for help.

The Third Elder's eyes darted around, and he immediately put on a smile. "Since our distinguished guest enjoys a lively atmosphere, that's perfectly fine. Please sit wherever you prefer, in the VIP room or the main hall." He instructed the usher, "Why don't you quickly take our distinguished guest to the best spot in the main hall?"

The woman leading the group brought Lu Jinxuan and the others to the front row of the hall, right next to the young woman.

The young woman scoffed disdainfully as she saw them approaching and turned her head away.

Lu Jinxuan didn't care at all and sat down directly. Lu Yuhang also squeezed next to Lu Jinxuan.
