Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Auction

“Huh?”

This time, it was Qin Wangchuan’s turn to say “Huh?”.

She widened her eyes and opened her mouth wide, “Did I hear that right?”

“You said Jiang Fan was thrown in the plaza?”

“How is that possible?”

A Three-Star Soul Master!

...

He was a Three-Star Soul Master, a person whom the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion greatly respected.

But he was treated like a discarded pawn and thrown in the plaza for people to choose from?

Wen Hongyao smiled bitterly, “Yes! I discovered that this boy had a talent for refining medicine and had the thought of taking him as a disciple.”

“Who knew Zhao Wuji, that old fool, would compete with me!”

“In the end, the Sect Master, for some unknown reason, forcefully took him as a disciple.”

Knowing this, Jiang Fan almost became a disciple of Medicine Peak.

Qin Wangchuan’s vision went dark; she almost tripped.

She clenched her fists and shouted, “Why didn’t you fight for him?”

“What’s wrong with the Sect Master? Who cares about him?”

“A disciple like Jiang Fan should be fought for even if it means breaking heads!”

“You useless rebelling disciple, you’ve delayed Medicine Peak for three hundred years!”

With such a great opportunity in front of him, Wen Hongyao didn’t grasp it.

Qin Wangchuan almost fainted from anger!

Wen Hongyao felt stifled in his heart!

Blaming me for not being promising, yet you’re the one fighting for worthless things.

Blaming me for not doing my best to fight, yet you’re the one who delayed Medicine Peak! This old woman is hard to please!

Speaking of Jiang Fan.

Upon returning to Sect Master Peak, an outer sect disciple brought him a jade letter.

With deep envy on his face, “Senior Brother Jiang, someone from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s roaming auction came by just now.”

“They asked me to give this to you.”

Jiang Fan opened it, only to find it was a handwritten invitation from Chen Luoyue.

It turned out tomorrow was the official start of the auction.

She invited Jiang Fan to attend.

And she had prepared the best private room for him.

“She still has some thoughtfulness.” Jiang Fan put away the jade letter.

If the Revitalizing Pills he refined this time were enough, he wouldn’t mind giving her some to boost her performance.

So.

The first thing he did after returning home was to refine the Revitalizing Pill.

This pill was quite troublesome.

It could only be refined one at a time; multiple pills couldn’t be refined at once.

Therefore, this refining process took a whole day.

His eyes were bloodshot by the end, and he had finally refined forty-three pills.

He put forty of them into four jade bottles.

One bottle for himself, one for Xu Youran, one for Chen Silin, and one for Liu Qingxian.

The remaining three pills were placed in a small bottle.

“Jiang Fan!”

Liu Qingxian’s call came faintly.

Whenever there was an important event, she was always the first to call Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan had already gotten used to it.

He stuffed the jade bottles into his pocket, opened the door, and saw the familiar figure.

This time, she was carrying a lot of things in her hands and handed them to Jiang Fan, “Here! These are for hunting demon beasts.”

Jiang Fan took them, feeling the weight, and accepted them with a smile.

Liu Qingxian twirled a strand of hair hanging on her chest with her fingers and turned her face away, “Don’t say it was from me.”

“I can’t afford to offend your vinegar jar back home.”

Last time she prepared things for Jiang Fan, Xu Youran had refused them.

That left Liu Qingxian deeply resentful.

Jiang Fan found it amusing and sad that she still remembered!

He promptly took out a bottle of Revitalizing Pills, “This bottle is for you.”

Without Liu Qingxian’s token, he couldn’t have obtained those high-grade medicinal materials.

“What’s this?” Liu Qingxian took it, opened it, and sniffed.

The rich medicinal aroma wafted over, refreshing the spirit.

Even if one didn’t understand pills, they knew this was good stuff.

“Some healing pills for use in life-saving situations.”

Jiang Fan reminded her, “Hide it, don’t let others know.”

Liu Qingxian pursed her lips, “It’s not like it’s an immortal pill, why would anyone try to steal it?”

“Alright, I’ll keep it!”

She carefully tucked it into her sleeve.

As long as it was given by Jiang Fan, no matter its value, she liked it.

“The auction is about to start, let’s go take a look.”

Liu Qingxian invited, “Of course, we can only sit in the ordinary public seats.”

“I asked about the private rooms, and they were all assigned to the sect elders. Disciples are only allowed in public seats.”

Really?

Was the private room Chen Luoyue prepared for him that special?

Then those last three Revitalizing Pills must be given to her for auction no matter what.

“Let’s take a look first.”

The two of them made their way to Green Cloud City.

The auction venue had already been set up.

The space was massive, large enough to seat thousands.

There were thousands of seats on the ground.

Near the auction stage, there were ten private rooms embedded in the walls.

They were entirely made of special crystal, invisible from the outside, but allowed a clear view of the outside from the inside.

The closer the private room to the auction stage, the better the view of the stage.

Of course, it also became more prestigious.

“That’s the Great Elder of the Giant Sect! Tie Bubai!”

Suddenly, Liu Qingxian noticed a group of burly men, each as sturdy as an iron tower, entering the auction house.

The middle-aged man leading them was particularly noteworthy, standing two meters tall and walking through the crowd like a crane among chickens.

It was hard not to attract her attention.

Jiang Fan didn’t have a good impression of the Giant Sect.

Last time, it was the Giant Sect Master and his disciple who couldn’t accept their loss.

Before leaving, they deliberately provoked the Hundred Beasts Mountain, causing a small beast tide within Green Cloud Sect’s territory.

“Why are they here? Is it possible that this auction has materials for body refinement?”

Jiang Fan wondered.

He thought of his “Iron Blood True Scripture.”

Since he first started practicing it, he had been stuck due to material constraints and couldn’t advance any further.

If he could make some progress, dealing with the beast tide would undoubtedly be safer.

Because demon beasts usually had immense strength.

Humans were at a disadvantage when they got close.

“That’s the Divine Doctor Shangguan of the Supreme Sect, they just entered a private room too.” Liu Qingxian spotted another important figure.

Jiang Fan looked up and saw Shangguan Sheng and Xia Chaoge.

“Could it be that Divine Doctor Shangguan is seeking something as well?”

Soon, they saw several elders entering the private rooms.

Liu Qingxian noticed something unusual, “What’s going on?”

“It’s just a roaming auction, why are so many elders attending?”

“In previous roaming auctions, there were only a few elders present.”

“Could it be some unexpected treasure is appearing at this auction?”

Jiang Fan agreed.

Things that attracted so many elders couldn’t be simple.

At this moment.

A familiar voice called out from a distance.

“Hey! Junior Sister Liu, Junior Brother Jiang, you two are here too?”

Ling Guihai brought the elites from various sects, bustling as they arrived.

Seeing them from afar, he greeted them proactively.

Liu Qingxian didn’t like him much, so she just slightly nodded her head as a response.

Jiang Fan also remained expressionless.

Ling Guihai wasn’t offended and said cheerfully, “Would you like to enter a private room?”

Liu Qingxian’s brows slightly raised, “Your Myriad Swords Sect’s private room?”

According to the auction house rules, each elder could bring one person into a private room.

This time, Green Cloud Sect’s Great Elder, Feng Guchan, was going, so it was unlikely he would bring Liu Qingxian into the private room.

She would certainly prefer to go if she could see better from the private room.

However, if it was the Myriad Swords Sect’s private room, she wouldn’t bother.

“Of course not!”

Ling Guihai said proudly, “My Myriad Swords Sect only got the No. 9 private room.”

“I wouldn’t even go there!”

Oh?

Liu Qingxian was surprised and then remembered that Ling Guihai’s aunt was the vice president of the auction house.

It wasn’t difficult to arrange a private room for him.

She couldn’t help but sigh, “Your aunt does dote on you. What private room did she arrange for you?”

Ling Guihai chuckled, “Of course, the No. 1 private room!”

What?

Liu Qingxian frowned, “How is that possible?”

Even if she wanted to open a back door for a relative, it was impossible to let him use the most prestigious No. 1 private room, right?

Ling Guihai smiled mysteriously, “Using it just for me is naturally impossible.”

“That No. 1 private room is for a big figure whose slightest move would make the whole Nine-Sect Land tremble!”

“My aunt asked me to go to the No. 1 private room to serve tea and water to that big figure and leave a good impression!”

“She said if I got his favor, I would soar to the sky and rise to the top!”

This statement made the elites behind him look eager.

Considering Chen Luoyue’s status, saying such words showed how terrifying that person was.

At the very least, it was someone of the sect master level.

Maybe even a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!

What a great opportunity!

Liu Qingxian’s beautiful eyes sparkled, wanting to see this giant figure for herself.

Only Jiang Fan felt a bit puzzled.

If he remembered correctly, the invitation letter yesterday clearly stated.

His reserved private room was… the No. 1 private room.
