Qin Lingyun's goal was a large business, and now she could sell only two types of pills: Qi-Enhancing Pills and Huangling Dan. These two types of pills were good stuff that could directly enhance the cultivation of Qi-refining period cultivators, even if they had poor spiritual roots. Those cultivators who were stuck at the bottleneck would pay a high price to buy these pills.

  She looked up and saw a store called Qibao Fang among them, thinking to herself: "I'll choose that one." Immediately, Qin Lingyun walked towards the direction of Qibao Fang.

  The gate of Qibao Building is very unique, with green jade stone paving at the entrance, which looks very high-end.

  As soon as Qin Lingyun entered the Qibao Hall, a young man came forward to greet her. He was wearing a cyan long gown and had a smile on his face. He bowed and said: "This Taoist friend, I don't know if you are here to buy something or sell something?"

  Seeing this person being very polite, Qin Lingyun couldn't help but return a courtesy and said: "I have something to sell."

  The man smiled and said: "If you want to sell goods, then come with me this way."

  Qin Lingyun followed the man in green to a room, where an old man sat behind a table, his face ruddy, with white eyebrows and whiskers, busily engaged, but when he saw them enter, he didn't even acknowledge them.

  The man in blue said: "This is our Qibao Workshop's appraiser, fellow Taoist will sell the items to him, and he can give you a fair price."

  Qin Lingyun noticed that this was only the lowest level of the building, and it was clear that the man in green clothes and the old man were not treated with high specifications at Qibao Pavilion. However, this did not hinder Qin Lingyun from selling her goods.

  Qin Lingyun flipped her palm and placed the small white jade bottle in her hand on the table: "This is what I want to sell."

  "That old man said casually: 'Dan medicine? Let me take a look.' He took the small jade bottle, pulled out the stopper on top of it, and immediately a unique medicinal fragrance wafted out."

  "What kind of fragrance?" The old man's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "Could it be the divine medicine that enhances cultivation?"

  The old man put the bottle mouth under his nose and smelled it again, then poured out a grain and placed it in his palm, slowly saying: "It's correct, this is indeed the spiritual medicine that can improve cultivation, the Qi-increasing Pill, and its quality is very high." A thread of joy appeared in his eyes.

  It is known that the success rate of refining this spiritual medicine is extremely low, and the demand is very high, so the price is naturally very expensive.

  The old man looked up and glanced at Qin Lingyun: "This Taoist friend, if I let Qibao Pavilion directly purchase this kind of elixir, one elixir is 300 pieces of lower-grade spirit stone. There are thirty elixirs here, which is a total of 9,000 pieces of lower-grade spirit stone. Of course, you can also choose to sell it through auction."

  Qin Lingyun asked calmly: "What is the way of auction?"

  "Our Qi Bao Fang has its own auction house, although it's not the largest in Qing Ya, but it's also considered a relatively high-end auction house. If you choose to auction at our Qi Bao Fang's auction house, we will need to collect 5% tax, however, the selling price should be higher, two options for you to choose."

  Qin Lingyun could tell that the old man hoped she would put the bottle of Qi-tonifying pills up for auction, and the glint in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.

  Qin Lingyun's lips curled up into a faint smile as she said, "In that case, I'll entrust this bottle of Qi-Enhancing Pills to Qibao Pavilion for auction. I still trust in the reputation of Qibao Pavilion."

  Qin Lingyun nodded silently in approval, and the old man and the young man in green clothes both showed a proud expression. The old man said: "Now our Qibao Hall is holding an auction, Lin Hao, you will take this bottle of Qi-boosting pills over there, and bring this Taoist friend to the auction house."

  Leaving this room, Qin Lingyun followed a man named Lin Hao towards the back of Qibao Hall.

  Someone behind the Qibao Pavilion took over Lin Hao's small jade bottle, exchanged a few words, and then left with the small jade bottle. Lin Hao turned to Qin Lingyun and said, "Fellow Taoist, please follow me."

  After walking through several roads paved with bluestone, a tall building appeared in front of her. The sign above the gate read "Qí Bǎo Fāng Auction House". Two monks stood guard at the entrance, one on each side. Qin Lingyun's divine sense swept past them and discovered that they were both cultivators of the tenth layer of Qi Refining. Her expression involuntarily stiffened.

  "This junk shop is really rundown, and it's called an auction house on this scale." The star emperor, who had been silent all along, suddenly showed a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

  Qin Lingyun, who already had some understanding of Xingdi, couldn't help but shake her head, but didn't say anything.

  As soon as she entered the auction house from the side, there was a hubbub of voices inside, with hundreds of cultivators packed in and sitting tightly together. As soon as Qin Lingyun stepped inside, she suddenly felt an invisible force acting on her body, suppressing her divine sense so that it couldn't be released.

  "What's going on?" Qin Lingyun couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

  Xingdi said, "It's rare to see such a strange thing. This is a Forbidden God Array, which almost every auction house will set up. The cultivators who enter the auction house basically change their appearance, but with divine consciousness, they can still sense their identity. However, these cultivators do not want to expose their identities, so they use the Forbidden God Array to lock down their divine consciousness."

  Qin Lingyun said: "Everyone else has changed their appearance and physique, but I haven't changed at all."

  "It was indeed an oversight. I shall teach you a technique to gather your energy, although it's only a lower-grade mystic art, but for someone of your caliber, it should be just right."

  Xing Di immediately used his mind to directly imprint the cultivation method of this Qi-absorbing technique into Qin Lingyun's sea of consciousness.

  Qin Lingyun chose a seat and sat down. She was sitting at a distance from the auction stage, neither too close nor too far, and looked ahead with raised eyes.

  A stunning female cultivator stood on the auction stage, wearing a revealing red skirt with a very low-cut top, exposing a snowy expanse that made many cultivators' eyes light up. Her jade-like hands held a tray, upon which rested a small, pale yellow knife. As she batted her eyelashes, a slightly flirtatious voice echoed through the auction hall.

  "This Inclined Moon Knife is a mid-grade spiritual artifact, whether it's for self-defense or killing demonic beasts, it's very sharp. The base price is 100 low-grade spiritual stones."

  The moment the nun's voice fell, the bidding voices rose and fell in succession.

  One hundred and fifty-five.

  "Two hundred."

  Two hundred and three.

  The price kept going up, and the smile on that woman's face became more enchanting.

  Finally, this mid-grade spiritual artifact, the Moon-tilting Knife, was acquired by a cultivator for 500 low-grade spiritual stones.

  Qin Lingyun couldn't help but sigh: "The atmosphere of this auction house is indeed easy to make people lose their rationality."

  Occasionally, items would be brought out from the back and then auctioned off through the hands of a female cultivator. The female cultivator's name was Gu Sanniang, and her enchanting words and demeanor naturally captivated many cultivators, causing them to become hot-blooded. The prices of the items she auctioned off were always much higher than usual.
