High-grade elixir!
Awesome!
Inside the Wanxiang Building, not a single crow or sparrow made a sound. Except for Mo Yang and his two companions, everyone else was staring fixedly at the Dan elder's hand, where that green, alluring, fragrant dan medicine lay.
"Little one, where did this elixir come from?" Dan Lao suddenly looked at Mu Qingge and asked.
Mu Qing Ge smiled and said: "What? Is the origin of the elixir related to its value?"
Old Master Dan's face turned red with embarrassment, and he awkwardly said, "No, it has nothing to do with that. I'm just curious."
Smiling, Mu Qing Ge stopped talking.
That means it's obvious, just don't want to say where the elixir came from.
Elder Dan was a shrewd person, how could he not hear the meaning behind Mu Qing's words. At this point, he didn't ask any more questions, but instead fell silent for a moment, reluctantly putting the medicine back into the porcelain bottle and covering it with the lid.
The alluring elixir disappeared, and everyone's eyes had an uncontrollable disappointment.
It's as if taking a few more breaths of the sweet air would make one immortal.
"Dan is good dan, but this Nine Lives Reversal Dan, I've never heard of it before, can't judge whether it's as miraculous as you said." Dan Lao's sharp eyes fell on Mu Qing Ge. His address to her had changed from "little guy" to "young friend". It could be seen that the dan medicine had brought him a shock.
Right! How can we judge the effect of this Dan medicine?
If it were just an ordinary elixir, Dan Lao would have been able to judge its effect by its quality. But this high-grade elixir is rarely seen, and the Nine Lives Reversal Elixir has never even been heard of - how can one determine its true value? Can't just rely on empty words.
Wei Qi and Wei Qianqian both furrowed their brows at the same time, naturally standing on Mu Qingge's side.
Also saw through Dan Changlao's deliberate obstruction.
Those rare fire intelligence, although difficult to find, are not a secret, and it's enough to exchange for a high-grade elixir. The Wanxiang Building has always been generous, and shouldn't be so petty about this. This old man is clearly taking revenge for the earlier inquiry that yielded nothing.
After some thought, Wei Qi stepped forward and said: "Since you can't determine the value of the medicine, why not exchange it for something else? You say what you want, I don't believe that there's anything you want that our city can't provide."
"Right! Old man, what else do you want besides the Dan medicine? It's better to leave this high-grade Dan medicine for Muge." This time, Wei Cuicui rarely stood on the same side as her brother and stepped forward.
The siblings' behavior made Mu Qingge's eyes flash. Dan Changlao's provocation, how could she not hear it? However, she didn't expect that before she even opened her mouth, these somewhat foolish siblings would already be defending her like this.
It seems like they've known each other for just a few days.
"It turned out to be the young master and miss of Tuo City, I'm afraid I've been blind." Dan Chang Lao pulled the corner of his mouth, his face was polite, but he didn't show any surprise or fear because of their identities.
Fortunately, these two siblings are not the kind of people who bully others with their power. When they mention Tuo City, it's just to add weight to Mu Qing Ge's side, so she won't be bullied.
So, Dan Changlao's reaction did not make the two angry.
"Speak up then. What other news about Yi Huo can you exchange?" Wei Qi raised his chin and said.
His youthful vigor made Dan Lao chuckle. The meaning behind that smile could only be understood by himself.
Before Dan Changlao could speak, Mu Qingge suddenly raised her hand to stop the Wei Qi siblings from speaking up. She sat in her chair with a relaxed expression, seemingly unaffected by Dan Changlao's words.
"To test the effect of Dan medicine, the most direct and effective method is to try it on a person. If you are worried that the Dan medicine is deceitful, you can find a dying person to try it out. If the Dan medicine is ineffective, I will leave immediately and not bother you again with this matter. If the Dan medicine is effective, you will give me the information I need." Mu Qing Ge said.
"How can such good medicine be wasted on them?" Wei Qianqian said reluctantly.
Wei Qi saw Mu Qingge's intention and reached out to pull her sister's sleeve, stopping her from continuing to speak.
This proposal caused Dan Lao's eyes to narrow, and a sharp light flashed across. He smiled and said: "This is actually not a bad method. However, I wonder if my young friend has another dan medicine of the same quality?"
Mo Qing's expression didn't change as he lied: "The noble tower really is doing me a great honor, such precious elixirs, having one pill is already a rare opportunity."
Old Dan furrowed his brow. He thought to himself, there was only one pill of the elixir, if it were a test and it didn't work, then that would be that. But if it were effective, wouldn't that be a huge loss? Furthermore, could high-grade elixirs really just be large tonifying pills?
He probably didn't think he would jump into his own pit before making things difficult for others.
Dan Lao's furrowed brow made Mu Qingge's mouth corners rise with a hint of delight. Playing with her, the old man was still a bit tender.
Wei Congcong blinked her eyes and immediately understood the key point, raising an eyebrow and saying: "Right! Anyway, we've already taken out the Dan medicine. If you don't believe it, go try it. There's only one of these pills, I'm afraid that after you try it, you'll find that the Nine Lives Reversal Dan is indeed famous for nothing, and you'll return empty-handed. If Wanxiang Tower refuses this deal because of this, wouldn't that be ruining their own reputation? Can't even identify a high-grade Dan medicine, how can they claim to know everything?"
This remark made Mu Qingge's mouth curve even deeper, and in her heart, she gave a thumbs up to Wei Xuanxuan's cleverness.
This girl's words have clearly and unmistakably led this old man into a dead end.
Her calm and clear eyes scanned the two of them, taking in their sweaty foreheads, before finally coming to rest on Dan Changlao's face.
This old man, apparently also did not expect that the pit he dug was so deep, and the elixir in his hand had become a hot potato. For a while, they were stuck there, silent and speechless.
"It's almost enough, Mu Qing Ge finally spoke up: 'Actually, with the value of a high-grade elixir, to exchange for not just one piece of information, is already more than sufficient. Why must you, noble sir, be so entangled in its function?'"
The information about the strange fire was not sold to her and then gone, others who want it, as long as they can afford the price, can also buy it. This old man is just angry that he didn't honestly tell her where the elixir came from.
Moyin's heart was like a clear mirror, seeing everything clearly. At this moment, she had already given the old man a chance to step down, and it depended on whether he knew how to cherish it.
Old Master Dan's eyes twitched, and after a moment of internal struggle, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Today, I'll trust you. This deal is done with Wanxiang Building."
After that, he put the porcelain bottle containing the elixir into his sleeve and turned to order Chunsheng: "Chunsheng, go prepare things for our guest."
He rose with the dawn and left.
Mu Qingge and others stayed where they were, waiting.
The deal is done. Dan Chang Lao looked at Mu Qing Ge with a different gaze. His eyes, which were difficult to discern, said: "Young friend, I am Dan Chen Zi, but I don't know your name yet."
"Admire the song." Mu smiled slightly.
"It was Mu Xiao You after all." Dan Chen Zi nodded and handed over an invitation to Mu Qing Ge.
Mu Qingge stretched out her hand to receive it, but Wei Xuanxuan beside her shouted out first: "The invitation letter of the Wanxiang Building auction!" The astonishment in her voice made Mu Qingge suddenly understand that this invitation letter was probably not something that anyone could get.
"Wei's little girl does have some insight." Dan Chenzi stroked his beard with satisfaction.
Wei Qianqian gave him a white eye, leaned close to Mu Qingge's side, and whispered in his ear: "The Wanxiang Building auction is held on an irregular basis. I heard that every time it is convened, the invited guests are all people with high status and identity. My old man seems to have only received two invitations." The tone was filled with a kind of envy without jealousy.
Mu Qingge's eyes lit up with understanding, and he held an invitation letter in his hand, thanking Dan Chenzi.
Danchenzi also smiled and said: "Muxiaoyou, the auction is tomorrow. There are many good things in this auction, you must not miss it."
"Mr. Dan has invited you, Mu Qing will definitely arrive on time." Mu Qing handed the invitation to Mo Yang, letting him keep it well.
He quickly got up and soon came out with a brocade wrapped scroll in his hands, handing it to Mu Qing Ge.
Mo Yang immediately stepped forward and took over the scroll.
Then, they left the Wanxiang Building.
Mo Qingxue was anxious to learn more about the strange fire and didn't have the heart to continue strolling around Yucheng, so she suggested returning.
The guests all asked to go back, and as the host, Wei Jia siblings naturally wouldn't force them.
So a group of people came out of the mansion in large numbers, but an hour later, they returned to the Wei family villa in large numbers.
One returned to the Wei family's Bieyuan, Mu Qingge bid farewell to everyone and slipped into her own room. She unrolled the scroll and looked at the information on it.
It has to be said that the intelligence of Wanxiang Building is still very valuable. The scroll writes down the names, origins and powers of the hetero fires. Based on these data, a ranking of the hetero fires was also conducted.
What made Mu Qingge laugh the most was that at the very bottom of the scroll, there was a line of tiny characters written: [The final interpretation right of this ranking is exclusively owned by Wanxiang Building! Adopted].
This sentence smells of a swindler. And that 'cai' character, it's clearly someone's signature. Who would be so narcissistic as to sign their name on a receipt for a transaction?
On the scroll, a total of ten kinds of strange fire were recorded. However, the last five were marked with the words "chicken ribs" and "garbage". The interpretation was even more astonishing to Mu Qingge, making her feel that the person who wrote this scroll was too casual?
For example, the sixth-ranked hetero-fire is called Extreme Bliss Flame. Its effect has only one, that is, people or animals illuminated by it will produce a pleasant emotional feeling.
What the hell?! Are you here to make fun of me?!
Don't misunderstand, this sentence is not Mu Qing's inner monologue, but it was clearly written on the scroll.
It seems that this scroll should be the complaints in the heart of the person who wrote it.
Such a strange fire was ranked sixth, showing how mediocre the remaining four were.
Moyin Ge just took a glance and focused on the first five.
Meng Meng told her before that the hetero-fire was a kind of fire born from the heaven and earth, with different characteristics. Due to the peculiarities of the hetero-fire, if one could find a hetero-fire with attributes matching their own and stimulate it, they might be able to awaken their own bloodline. If they were lucky, they might even be able to refine their bloodline to become even purer.
Mocheng Ge's body flowed with the blood of a Refiner, and the attributes of a Refiner should be Metal and Fire.
Excluding the five discordant alien fires behind, the previous five are: Hunyuan Tianji Yan, Bahang Xukong Yan, Baiguyao Yan, Youming Guihuoyan, Huoyun Yangyan.
Among them, Bai Gu Yao Yan and You Ming Gui Huo both belong to cold flames, which do not match Mu Qing Ge's attributes.
So, there are only three left.
After reading the information on the scroll, Mu Qingge threw it into space.
Frolicking in space, eating sugar pills... uh, Mengmeng of the elixir was unfortunately hit by a scroll. "Ahh!" she cried out.
She grabbed the 'culprit' by the neck and shouted: "Baby is hurt! Master Silver must take responsibility! Dan medicine! Dan medicine! Baby wants dan medicine!"
"Shut up." Mu Qing's voice came down from above without him entering the space, as if he were a deity.
Meng Meng's voice came to an abrupt halt, and she shrank her neck, no longer making a sound. In her heart, she silently chanted: "Good baby doesn't fight with Master Silver! Good baby doesn't fight with Master Silver!"
"Look at the content above." Mu Qing Ge spoke again.
Meng Meng hurriedly opened the scroll and quickly scanned its contents. After finishing, she raised her head and said: "Reporting to Master Silver, Meng Bao Bao has finished reading."
"How?" Mu Qing Ge asked.
Meng Meng frowned and said with a serious tone, "Hmph, I think the person who wrote this must be a self-loving pervert! And they're definitely venomous, not even sparing Ah Huo."
Mu Qing's face turned dark and he gritted his teeth, saying: "Who asked you this?"
"What does the master want to ask?" Mengmeng blinked her eyes, with a face full of simplicity and innocence.
"Strange fire!" Mu Qing Ge almost squeezed out these two words from between her teeth.
"Ah! Hetero-fire." Mengmeng seemed to have just realized. After feeling Mu Qingge's suppressed anger, she hurriedly said: "Mn, although the hetero-fire on this is not very advanced, it's enough for Master Yin to use."
"What does it mean?" Mu Qingge was taken aback in her heart and heard another layer of meaning in Mengmeng's words.
Mengmeng swallowed a dan medicine, crunching it with a "ka-cha ka-cha" sound, and said unclearly: "Mengbao's memory is a bit fuzzy, but the impression of the strange fire isn't quite like this. However, Master Yin only has chicken fire bloodline, these should be enough."
Mu Qingge frowned and pursed her lips.
The old demon once said that there is a broader world beyond this continent. Even the Purple Boundary, which is already at its peak in Linchuan, is nothing on another continent.
And those powerful beings from outside Linchuan...
Isn't that saying that the strange fire recorded on this scroll only belongs to Lin Chuan? In a wider world, there are even more powerful alien fires.
However, as Mengmeng said, her main purpose of seeking the exotic flame was to activate the bloodline. As long as the goal is achieved, why bother seeking those elusive exotic flames?
In any case, now that I'm searching for a different flame, at least the target is certain.
Her eyes flickered twice, and Mu Qing Ge asked: "Among the top five on this ranking list, two of them are Cold Flame, which should be unable to activate the bloodline power in my body. The remaining three..."
"Hunyuan Tianji Yan is attributeless, so Master Silver can't use it now. The remaining Ba Huang Xukong Yan is gold-attribute, Huoyun Yangyan is fire-attribute, Master Silver can just choose either one." Mengmeng said directly.
Eight Desolations Void Flame, Fire Cloud Yang Flame, one ranked second, one ranked fifth.
Mo Qing's heart was slightly heavy.
It is said on the scroll that the Hetero Flame has a spiritual nature, and it is good at hiding its tracks and disguising itself. Even if one can determine where it is, it is still very difficult to find it.
I hope that after completing this escort mission, I can get accurate intelligence about one of these two strange fires.
"Master Yin, when introducing foreign fire into the body, how is the preparation of the elixir going? Do you want Mengmeng to help you prepare the medicinal materials and refine them now?"
Meng Meng's first half sentence made Mu Qing feel a little comforted in her heart. After all, the little guy was also worried about her, right? But when she heard the second half of the sentence, she felt that something was off.
This girl is not concerned about her at all. Obviously, she's just greedy and wants to find a reasonable excuse to refine the elixir.
Mochi's heart was resistant at first, but those sparkling big eyes of Moe-chan made her surrender.
Just cultivate the elixir then, anyway cultivating more will also help your own alchemy skills.
However, as it turns out, a scene in the Wanxiang Building today made her realize that there were many alchemy recipes in the Dan God inheritance she received that were unknown to the outside world.
This made her seem to see a lucrative road again!
……
When Mu Qing finished refining the elixir and came out of the space, the sky was already slightly bright.
This alchemy session actually lasted for an entire day and night!
Thinking of the auction at Wanxiang Building tonight, Mu Qingge called for Youhe and Huayue to come and dress her up. Hmm, she needs a nap.
Introduce alien fire into the body, stimulate blood vessels to wake up. The process is extremely dangerous and requires some life-saving medicine as a precaution. However, Mu Qingge was not very worried about this, because after repeated experiments, she knew that her body, which had been modified by gene modification agents, had a kind of recovery power that was simply terrifying.
But there is one more treasure, which she must prepare before finding the alien fire.
That's the cryogenic liquid that can protect the soul from being damaged by alien fire, it is said to be extremely rare and comes from the Snow Peak Ice Cave, the essence of the ten-thousand-year-old stalactite. Just one drop is enough to solidify the strength of the soul.
Where can I find such a treasure that is hard to come by?
Looking for Leng Qingyu was also one of the reasons why Mu Qingyue agreed to go to the Wanxiang Building auction.
Yesterday at the Wanhualou, she had originally planned to ask about the news of Leng Ningye after buying the news of Yi Huo, but unexpectedly Dan Chenzi handed her an invitation letter for an auction.
So she didn't mention the cryogenic liquid at the moment, but instead planned to try her luck at the auction and see if there were any clues about the cryogenic liquid. If not, she would ask Wanxiang Building afterwards.
She fell asleep as soon as she heard the gentle song and slept all the way until dusk.
When her siblings came to look for her to have dinner, she slowly got up from bed.
……
After dinner, Mu Qingge spiritedly took the two Wei siblings and headed towards the Wansi Lou.
An invitation card can bring three people, the pitiful look of the Wei family siblings made Mu Qingge unable to refuse. The three of them left the Wei Manor without bringing any guards.
Back at the Wanxiang Building, it was still Lian'er who received the three of them.
As soon as she saw the three people, Lian'er came up with a smile, with two sweet dimples on her mouth.
"Welcome, Master Mo, Master Wei, Miss Wei! You've arrived!" Lotus bowed slightly, her tone very warm and friendly.
Mo Qingge nodded and handed over the invitation letter in her hand.
When Dan Chenzi handed the invitation letter to Mu Qingge, Lian'er was by her side, so at this moment she took over the invitation letter and did not open it to check.
But she didn't think that this action would provoke a strange and eerie inquiry from behind her.
"How can Wanxiang Building invite all kinds of people? A few poor guys come here, can they afford to buy things?"
Several people heard the sound and turned back to look, but all they saw was a dazzling array of colors. After the glare passed, they finally saw clearly that the speaker was a young man dressed in gold from head to toe, with gold, silver, and jade ornaments hanging from his neck and wrists.
This person looks quite handsome, but his eyes are gloomy and arrogant, with a nose that points to the sky, making people feel very uncomfortable.
By his side, a delicate and charming woman with a slender figure was clinging to him. Her intimate posture made her almost inseparable from the young man, as if she wanted to entwine herself around him until death.
Of course, the man is no good either. Apart from pretending to be elegant with a folding fan in one hand, the other hand doesn't rest either, embracing the woman's waist and rubbing hard.
When he saw the three poor men turn around, a strong sense of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but squeeze the woman's waist tightly, causing her to let out a soft cry.
"What a beauty! Unfortunately, it's a guy!" The man sighed in his heart and reluctantly moved his gaze away from Mu Qingge. Wei Qianqian, the petite and lovely girl, entered his line of sight.
At this moment, the man's eyes became fiery again.
Even if you can't have a sumptuous feast, these delicate and delicious pastries can also leave a lasting impression!
The man's gaze was too presumptuous, causing Wei Qi to snort coldly and stand in front of the two, blocking the man's line of sight.
A man admiring a beauty was suddenly interrupted by a slender boy like bamboo, his eyes darkened instantly, and murderous intent surged from the bottom of his eyes.
"Where did this dog thing come from? Get out!" The man shouted loudly.
Where had Wei Qi ever suffered such humiliation? His heart suddenly ignited with anger, and he wanted to go forward and teach this guy a lesson.
Lotus then squeezed over, accompanied by a smiling face: "Everyone is our Wanxiang Building guest, the auction is about to begin, please enter the venue as soon as possible, don't delay the proper business due to misunderstandings."
That person obviously also knew Lian'er, seeing her come out to mediate, his gloomy face eased a bit, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not decrease. He said: "Lian'er, where did this group of people come from? I see that you didn't even open the invitation letter to check it, could it be that you secretly colluded with them, using fake invitation letters to bring these few people into the auction?"
Lotus's face changed, and she hastily said: "Young Master Zhu is joking, how could Lotus have such a big nerve? It's just that these few noble guests were personally invited by Elder Dan, and at the time, Lotus was also present, so she momentarily neglected to check the invitation letter."
These three young men were personally invited by Dan Changlao?!
The onlookers were shocked in their hearts when they heard Lin Er's explanation.
Dan Changlao is the most powerful alchemist in Yicheng, and wherever he goes, everyone has to give him some face. He is also a distinguished guest of various forces and families in Yicheng.
The three young men who were able to get him to personally invite them... what is their origin?
The onlookers all seemed lost in thought.
But Zhu Gongzi, who was looking for trouble, also changed his expression when he heard the name of Dan Changlao. He looked at the three people again and finally glared at Lian'er, saying: "Lian'er, don't you dare to use Dan Changlao's name in vain, you know the consequences."
Lotus nodded and said: "Lotus naturally knows, and also doesn't dare."
"Hmph!" Zhu Gongzi let out a cold snort and strode into the Wanxiang Building with the seductive woman.
As they passed by Mu Qing's side, that cold glance warned him, causing Mu Qing's eyes to narrow slightly.
After Master Zhu left, Lian'er also secretly let out a breath. She picked up her smile again and said to Mu Qingge and the other two: "Please come in, all three of you."
Mo Qing's eyes slightly lifted, with a hint of a smile that wasn't quite a smile, as he gazed at her: "The esteemed guest selected by the noble tower is truly an eye-opener."
Lotus's face flashed a hint of embarrassment, and she led the three people to prepare the private room with her head down.
The three of them didn't want to cause any trouble, so they followed Lian'er into the second-floor private room. But unexpectedly, at the moment they entered, they found that the person in the opposite private room was none other than that dazzling Zhu Gongzi.
The other party looked over with a gloomy face, Mu Qingge's eyes flickered slightly, and she swept past him with a somewhat indifferent attitude.
"There are excellent flower teas upstairs in the building. Let me brew a pot for you three." Lian'er said to the three of them after closing the door.
Wei Qianqian sat down with a huff, saying discontentedly: "Fine, let's have some tea to calm down!" If she hadn't been worried that causing trouble would affect Mu Qingge's participation in the auction, she would have beaten up that Zhu young master long ago.
Wei Qi also sat down, her face cold as she asked: "What kind of person is Zhu Gongzi after all? Why does Lian'er have to be afraid of him?"
The siblings of the Wei family each had one sentence they wanted to ask clearly.
It was Mu Qing who sat like nothing was wrong, watching with great interest as Lian'er brewed tea.
Lian'er poured tea with a smooth and natural motion, it was indeed a pleasure to watch. Upon hearing Wei Qi's inquiry, she smiled slightly, her lips pursed, and a dimple appeared on her cheek, very polite. "It's not that we're afraid of him. It's just that the Wanxiang Tower has always believed in not causing trouble and not being afraid of trouble. That Zhu Gongzi is closely related to the Li Guo imperial family, and can be considered a small person who has succeeded. His temperament has always been like this, and we don't bother to argue with him. The thing just now, please forgive us three. You can rest assured that in the Wanxiang Tower, he will only dare to be arrogant with his mouth."
"It turns out that there is a royal family backing them." Wei Qi said disdainfully.
In his heart, being close to the royal family didn't amount to much. His old man was the City Lord of Tuo City, a famous master in Lu Guo, someone even the Emperor of Lu Guo would treat with courtesy and respect.
"Hmph, you're just a sycophant, nothing more. I don't think you're anything special."
"I had forgotten the identities of those two. He can't compare to the second one, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake head, and with Second Master's noble identity, why bother arguing with him?" Lian'er said with a smile.
"Lotus girl's words were actually speaking on behalf of that Zhu young master. It seems that Zhu young master's overbearing personality is indeed not to be underestimated, thanks to the Wanxiang Tower." Murong Qingge said with a hint of playfulness after listening in for a while.
Lotus was startled, her small mouth slightly open as she looked at Mu Qingge, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Young Master is joking."
"Oh? I never said that." Mu Qingge's mouth corners rose slightly. She picked up a cup of tea, placed it on her lips, blew away the heat, and took a light sip.
"What does it mean?"
She didn't understand, but Wei Qi did. With a sarcastic snort, she explained for her sister: "Mu Ge's meaning is clear, that Zhu young master is so arrogant, and Wanhualou still wants to hush it up. In the long run, won't he become even more unbearable, thinking no one dares to provoke him? What a great way to spoil someone!"
With this explanation, Wei Juanjuan understood.
This seemingly peaceful and serene backdrop, however, has nurtured the increasingly eccentric and arrogant personality of Zhu Gongzi. One day, when he unwittingly provokes someone he shouldn't have, he will face a devastating blow that will shake the heavens and destroy the earth. Meanwhile, the Wanxiang Building, which has caused all this, can sit back and watch the show with ease.
"You're so cunning!" Wei Qianqian stared at Lian'er in surprise.
Lian Er awkwardly twitched the corner of her mouth, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes as she avoided Mu Qing Ge.
This young master is really too formidable, and with just a few words, he saw through the young master's plan.
Lotus's embarrassment and evasion were seen by Mu Qingge. She smiled with a raised lip: "It seems that this Zhu Gongzi had previously offended the big shots in Wanhualou without realizing it, and the other party didn't bother to deal with him personally, so they thought of using someone else's hands to punish him. This matter was done cleanly, and no one could be implicated with Wanhualou. What a wonderful plan! The person who came up with this plan not only has quick thinking but also has great patience with their prey, and their personality is vengeful." As she spoke, Mu Qingge's clear eyes sparkled with light. Because she found that the person who set up this chess piece had many commonalities with her in terms of personality.
This person she had never met before sparked her intense interest with just one move.
Lian'er stared at Mu Qingge in shock, as if struck by lightning.
Clear and logical reasoning, meticulous analysis, and even a confident smile, are all identical to those of the young master. In this world, there is actually someone who can see through their thoughts so easily, a young master who is intelligent to the point of being eerie, with strategies that leave no room for error, and talents that know no bounds?
Looking at Lian'er's expression, Mu Qingge smiled even more: "It seems I was right."
Lotus was shocked speechless.
The Wei siblings were even more starry-eyed, gazing at Mu Qingge with a look of adoration.
"Wow, you're so amazing!" exclaimed Wei Kun Kun with a crazed look in her eyes.
Wei Qi couldn't help but gaze at her with admiration: "Mu Ge you're so clever, if only you were a girl it would be even better!"
"Die, Wei Qi!"
Bang!
Mo Qing's face had just turned black when Wei Kun's palm heavily landed on the back of Wei Qi's head.
"Look at the auction." Mu Qing said with a dark face.
A few people were chatting when the auction downstairs had already begun.
Jian Mu Qing Ge didn't plan to continue the topic from earlier, and Lian Er secretly let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Being with someone as intelligent as Zhi Shang was too much pressure, too frightening! Is that so!
The auction of Wanxiang Building will never have a brochure introducing the items for sale, it's just this kind of mystery.
At this moment, the auction item being sold downstairs is a Blue Boundary Spirit Beast's beast core. Such a beast core is extremely rare in third-rate countries. Using it as the opening bid also implies that the subsequent auction items are of considerable value.
Her eyes flashed with a hint of expectation as she gazed at the beast core from that blue realm.
Refrigerant liquid, also don't know if can get clues from Wansi Lou here.
Mu Qingge leaned against the railing with her hands supporting her head, pursing her lips as she watched the auction below, merely observing without any intention of participating.
In the end, the beast core of the Blue Boundary was sold at an auction for ten million gold.
What is the role of animal nuclei?
As Mu Qing knew, it could be used for alchemy, or for refining equipment. It could also absorb the energy from beast cores to aid in recovery.
The next few auction items were also valuable, but they weren't what Mu Qingge wanted, so she still didn't make a move.
Wei Yuqiu asked Mu Qingge after her initial excitement: "Mu Qingge, have you found something you like?"
Mo Qing shook her head.
Beast core? If needed, she would go kill the beast herself and wouldn't waste that money.
Dan medicine? She can refine it herself, why buy it?
Martial arts? Hmm... She may not have many skills, but they're enough. No need to be a scapegoat.
What about the weapon? Flower wipe! She's also considered half a refiner, right? Moreover, what she's wearing on her hand is a divine artifact! In space, there's also an unexplained semi-divine artifact.
So many exciting things at this auction, but none of them had any appeal to her.
"What? You guys don't have anything you're interested in either?" Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and asked.
Wei Juanjuan and Wei Qi exchanged a glance, the latter's face slightly red as she lowered her head. Wei Juanjuan, however, spoke candidly to Mu Qingge: "Father is very strict with us, he wouldn't give us that much pocket money to squander here."
So that's how it is.
Mo Qing Ge understood in her heart, but she wouldn't say anything. You like what you like, just speak up, this lord will foot the bill for such nonsense!
She is one of the poor herself!
"Below, we are auctioning off a high-grade, top-quality dan medicine. According to the owner of the dan medicine, this medicine is called 'Nine Lives Reversal Dan' and can explode with maximum potential when one is on the verge of death, helping to recover from injuries. However, this is also our first time seeing this medicine, so we cannot guarantee its efficacy, therefore please bid with caution. Alright, the starting price for this life-saving dan is 1 million taels of gold."
"Huh? Mu Ge, isn't that your dan medicine?" Wei Juanjuan stood up and stretched her neck to look down.
When the Nine Lives Reversal Dan was taken out, Mu Qingge's eyes flashed with understanding of Dan Chenzi's intention.
This little old man is indeed someone who doesn't admit defeat easily.
Is it to let her see for herself whether her own elixir is worth the money or not?
Mocheng Ge remained silent, only watching the auction below. Lian'er stood awkwardly in the private room, somewhat resentful of Dan Lao's move.
How could Mo Gongzi be so formidable and yet fail to see through such a simple trick?
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, after the auctioneer's voice fell, no one bid. It seemed that everyone was worried whether the Nine Lives Rebirth Dan was as magical as claimed.
After waiting for a while, still no one made an offer.
It looks like this high-grade top-quality elixir is about to be sold at a loss.
"These people are really ignorant, they don't want me but I want!" Wei Juan immediately stood up for Mu Qingge.
Just as Wei Yu was about to raise his hand to bid, Mu Qing Ge spoke up: "Wait."
She didn't believe it, and Old Dan handed her an invitation letter, just to make her embarrassed.
At this time, the auctioneer spoke again on the first floor: "Everyone seems to have some doubts about the effect of this Dan medicine?" He seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, so there was no awkwardness on his face.
Everyone was discussing it, and the auctioneer suddenly smiled and said: "I don't know if Mr. Ge of the Ge family is here today."
"This Ge family's master has an only son, who was in a fierce fight with someone the other day and got seriously injured, his life is hanging by a thread." Lian'er explained. Her words were few, but already enough to make the three people present understand.
It turns out that Old Dan had this intention all along.
One can try out the effect of Dan medicine and see if it's as miraculous as Mu Qing Ge said. Two, it can also make a fortune for Wanxiang Building.
From downstairs, the voice of Ge's father, who was named, came slowly: "What? Your honorable family is going to use my son as a guinea pig?"
The auctioneer smiled and said frankly, "I've heard that Young Master Ge was seriously injured and is now on the verge of death. The purpose of Mr. Ge's attendance at this auction isn't to find a lifesaving medicine? I can tell you clearly, Mr. Ge, that among all the items being auctioned, only this Nine Lives Reversal Dan in my hand has the effect of saving a life. Why not try it? A hundred million taels of gold for Young Master Ge's life is a bargain, don't you think?"
Ge's host was startled by the auctioneer's words and fell silent.
Seems to be thinking about making a choice.
After a while, he spoke again: "If it's ineffective, what about your building? What about my son's life?"
As for this answer, Mu Qing Ge was also very curious about how Wanxiang Building would respond.
The auctioneer seemed to have been prepared, and as soon as the host's voice fell, he said quickly: "If it is invalid, one million gold will be returned immediately. Moreover, I will tell Mr. Ge that the owner of this elixir is present at the auction. If the elixir is ineffective and worsens Young Master Ge's condition, I think the owner should come out and explain." After finishing speaking, he swept a glance at Mu Qing's private room without leaving any trace.
"How can this be! He's trying to drag Lian'er down with him!" Wei Qi slammed his fist on the armrest, giving a sinister glare at Lian'er's innocent face.
"You're really shameless, Wanxiang Building!" Wei Qiongqiong glared at Lian'er, almost ready to draw her sword and take her life at any moment.
On the contrary, Mu Qingge, after the auctioneer's voice fell, she only flashed a cold light at the bottom of her eyes, and the corner of her mouth hooked up a playful and teasing smile.
She was certain that this next move wasn't made by Nandou Chenzi, but rather someone else.
And that person, she had previously praised Zhu Gongzi's intelligence in his affairs.
No harm done. True gold is not afraid of being smelted in fire. Mu Qing's careless words temporarily calmed down the anger of the Wei siblings. However, when they looked at Lian'er again, their faces were no longer gentle.
As they spoke, Ge's father had already made up his mind downstairs.
He sent someone to bring his son from the mansion, seemingly to test the medicine in public. It's unclear whether he was afraid that Wanxiang Tower would default on its debt or if he was worried that Mu Qingge, the owner of this Dan medicine, would run away.
The crowd looked up and waited, and soon Ge's servants carried a gaunt man with a pale face and weak breath on a stretcher.
As soon as he appeared, Ge's master rushed over with a tense expression. His identity was self-evident.
When Ge Jia Zhu took over the Nine Lives Return Dan from the auctioneer's hand, everyone's gaze was focused on him.
The auction hall of the Wanxiang Building, originally composed of individual boxes, where everyone couldn't see each other. But at this moment, almost everyone squeezed out of the box, staring at Mr. Ge personally feeding the elixir to his son's mouth.
If the elixir is ineffective, then so be it; but if it is effective, wouldn't they have missed out on a lifesaving opportunity?
Humanity is fully revealed at this moment.
Most people present probably expected Dan medicine to be ineffective. Such a result would make them feel that they had not been taken advantage of.
At this time, in a certain private room, a lazy figure was quietly watching everything downstairs. He saw the expression of each person, and his narrow and charming eyes had a hint of playfulness and sarcasm...
