C34 Village Boor

Treasure Pavilion.

As the auction neared, the employees of the Treasure Pavilion also busied themselves. At this time, the Manager, Liu Qianqian, was seated in her room with an unhappy face, looking at the two people in front of her, saying coldly, "Elder Wang, Huang Ziwei, it’s impossible for you two to use five million silvers to buy the Medium Storage Ring in advance."

Sitting in front of Liu Qianqian were two men. One seemed to be in his sixties, and he wore a white robe. His face was ruddy, and he had a white goatee. The other person wore a yellow robe and had a pale face, octagonal shaped eyebrows and small eyes. This person was none other than the pill Master of Wang Family, Huang Ziwei.

Hearing Liu Qianqian's words, Huang Ziwei's face revealed a trace of violence, and the rage in his eyes was vaguely suppressed.

Elder Wang, who was at the side, had a smile on his face. With a kind tone, he said, "Manager Liu, I know that there was a misunderstanding between you and Master Huang previously. I apologize on behalf of Master Huang." After saying this, Elder Wang took out a silver draft and placed it on the table. “This is one hundred thousand silvers. Manager Liu, please accept it."

Liu Qianqian was completely indifferent. She did not even look at the silver draft, and smiled, "Don’t stand on ceremony, Elder Wang! I can forget about the misunderstanding, and please take back the silver draft. As for the Storage Ring, don't mention it anymore."

"Are five million silvers not enough?" Huang Ziwei could not help but blurt out. Five million silvers were a huge sum of money for a large clan like Wang Family. As for the other small and medium-sized clans, they simply could not afford to pay such a price.

“Five million silvers are a little low. Huang Ziwei, since you possess a Storage Ring, you should know its value. If someone were to pay one million silvers for your primary Storage Ring, would you sell it?" Liu Qianqian's face revealed a sneer.

"Not for sale." Huang Ziwei blurted out without even thinking.

"The space inside the Medium Storage Ring is ten times larger than that of the primary one. Do you think that I would sell it for five million silvers?"

"What? You dare to cost me ten million silvers!" Huang Ziwei shouted in shock. Elder Wang was also somewhat angry. The price of the Medium Storage Ring had far exceeded the clan's expectations.

"How interesting! When did I charge you ten million Silvers? Don't you two understand what I mean? The Medium Storage Ring has become lots of the auction two days later, and it is already known by all the great clans in the Xin Si City. If there is no this item on the auction, you all should know how much damage it would cause to my Treasure Pavilion's reputation." As Liu Qianqian said till here, her expression became serious and her tone became gloomy.

"Well..." Elder Wang and Huang Ziwei looked at each other, knowing that they were unable to achieve their goal, and their expressions were unavoidably dejected.

"What’s more, two days later in auction, maybe the price of Storage Ring wouldn't be this high, so the two of you should come back in two days." Liu Qianqian stood up, and acted as if she was sending off her guests.

Just then, a shop assistant of Treasure Pavilion came over to report that there were two people outside who wanted to sell pills to the Treasure Pavilion.

"Really? Is there someone selling pills?" She knew that there were only three Pill Masters in Xin Si City, the Wang Family's Huang Ziwei, the Wu Family's Hai Qinglan and the Lin Family's Jiang He. Who would be in Treasure Pavilion at this time? Now that Huang Ziwei was right in front of him, there were only two people left.

Elder Wang and Huang Ziwei had originally wanted to get up and take their leave, but after hearing the shop assistant's words, they stopped and their faces turned into cold smiles. They also believed that the person who had come was either from Wu Family or from Lin Family.

This time, the auction was different from the past, because a treasure like the Medium Storage Ring appeared. All the great clans definitely wouldn't miss this opportunity to get it. However, if they were to make a frantic last-minute effort and sell primary or medium pills to accumulate wealth, then that would be truly a joke. They just didn't know which family the person was from.

"Where's the Manager Ma? Isn't he always in charge of purchasing pills?"

Liu Qianqian waved her hand. She had just received the Pill Master of Wang Family, so it would be inappropriate for her to see the Pill Masters from the other families.

"Manager Liu, Manager Ma is receiving guests right now and has requested for you to go there personally. Since it is the superior first-grade pill, it would be difficult for him to set the price." the shop assistant replied.

"What? The superior first-grade pill!" Just as the shop assistant finished speaking, Elder Wang and Huang Ziwei were already surprised. Although Huang Ziwei had been the pill Master of Wang Family for many years, he had only been able to refine Medium First-Grade Pills. At this moment, when he heard that Superior pills had appeared, he was naturally extremely shocked.

"Rumor has it that the Wu Family’s Hai Qinglan is able to refine advanced pills, but it is impossible for her to refine the Superior pills. As for Lin Family’s Jiang He, whose level of cultivation is similar to mine, it would not be him. Could it be that a new Pill Master has come to Xin Si City?" Huang Ziwei thought in his heart as a look of ecstasy surfaced on his face. The new Pill Master might have new pill formulas and be able to refine Superior pills, even if he was not a second grade Pill Master, he was definitely not far from it. If he could make friends with him and exchange experiences, he could definitely improve his ability to concoct pills.

Elder Wang was also surprised, but he was thinking more about this person than Huang Ziwei. If he was able to let this person join in Wang Family, the strength of Wang Family would be definitely enhanced. When that time came, Wu Family and Lin Family would no longer have the qualifications to contend against Wang Family.

Liu Qianqian's eyes lit up. Could it be Hai Qinglan? If Hai Qinglan was really here to sell the Superior pills, Liu Qianqian was sure that the superior first-grade Healing pill last time was also refined by her.

But when Liu Qianqian and Wang Family’s people arrived at the second floor's hall, all three of them were startled. They had never seen two people before.

In the hall, Manager Ma was chatting happily with a man and a woman.

The man looked to be about forty years old, with swarthy skin and a full beard. He did not look like a Pill Master, but more like a farmer, and the other woman was about twenty-eight years old, and was beautiful. It was just that her skin was waxy yellow, and there were lots of freckles on her face, which made her not like a Pill Master either.

"Welcome to my Treasure Pavilion. May I ask your names?" Liu Qianqian walked forward, bowed, and said respectfully. Although the two people in front of her had strange appearances, as the stewards, Liu Qianqian knew that one should not judge a book by its cover. Maybe the two of them were really Pill Masters, too.

Liu Qianqian was right. The two people in front of her were the genuine Pill Masters. They were Wu Hui and Hai Qinglan, who had used disguise pills before. Hai Qinglan had mocked Wu Hui for his ugliness after he changed his appearance, but she did not expect that after using the disguise pill, she would become the current ugly woman with a yellow face. Fortunately, it had only changed her appearance and didn’t change her inner parts.

Wu Hui didn't dare to relax the slightest when he saw Liu Qianqian again. He knew that Liu Qianqian was smart, and if he was not careful, he would have exposed himself. He did not want to reveal his identity right now.

"Well, I’m Bai Wuya, and this is my niece, Bai Xiaoxian. I heard that there is a Medium Storage Ring to be auctioned in Treasure Pavilion of Xin Si City, so we are specially here to take a look." Wu Hui deliberately lowered his voice, as he said in an aged voice.

Wu Hui's words made Hai Qinglan stomp her feet. This little brother was taking advantage of his elder sister.

"Bai Wuya? Bai Xiaoxian?" Liu Qianqian carefully searched through the information in her mind with a little doubt. She had never heard of such two Pill Masters in the nearby cities, so could it be that they were from a big city?

Wu Hui saw the doubt on Liu Qianqian's face and his heart thumped for a moment. He was afraid to show his slip.

Wu Hui never thought that. Due to the scarcity of Pill Masters, in the dozen or so middle cities around Xin Si City, Pill Masters were all famous, unless they were from a large city like Maple Leaf City and Qing Yun City, where there were lots of pill masters. However, if it was a Pill Master in a large city, they would not come to Xin Si City for the sake of the Medium Storage Ring.

Treasure Pavilion also had shops in large cities in the Tianfeng Empire. Although Medium Storage Rings were precious, they would often appear in a few auctions.

"I heard that you guys are going to sell the superior pills. I wonder if that's true or not." Liu Qianqian revealed a professional smile and said.

Elder Wang and Huang Ziwei also walked forward, and they looked at Wu Hui and Hai Qinglan with doubt. They didn’t expect the two of them to be Pill Masters. Ordinary Pill Masters would always provide for themselves and live comfortably, they would never be so slovenly. The two of them were just like a village girl and a boor from the countryside.

When Wu Hui saw that Huang Ziwei was also there, his expression slightly changed, and a ruthless light flashed across his eyes. He did not forget the scene from last time. Although Liu Qianqian made her move in the end, it did not release the ill intent in his heart.

"Oh, I wonder who these two are." Wu Hui's eyes turned and looked at Huang Ziwei and Elder Wang.

"I’m Elder Wang Chuan from the Xin Si City's super family, Wang Family. This is our family's pill master, Huang Ziwei." When Wang Chuan introduced Huang Ziwei, Huang Ziwei raised his head and smiled proudly. There was a sense of pride on his face.

"Pill master. Can you concoct pills with this appearance?" His bland voice made the face of originally complacent Huang Ziwei turn completely red.

"You actually dare to humiliate me like this, you are truly infuriating." Huang Ziwei screamed from the anger, the aura rising from his body, and he was about to take action. However, when he saw Liu Qianqian's piercing gaze, his body shivered, and he thought back to the scene when he was here. There was a sense of fear in his heart. Instantly, all the anger disappeared and he looked at Wu Hui viciously.

Liu Qianqian was slightly startled when she heard Wu Hui's words, but she secretly found it funny. It seemed that this Huang Ziwei's appearance was indeed unpleasing to the eye. Last time was Wu Family's Wu Hui, but this time it was this black-faced fellow in front of her. Although she was happy to see Huang Ziwei give in, but he was after all the Wang Family's pill master, and his position was extremely important in Wang Family. If the two of them did not have any status, she was afraid that Wang Family would tail after them the moment they left the Treasure Pavilion.

"Master Huang, don't be impatient. Let's see what kind of pills they can take out." Elder Wang, who was at the side, also looked slightly cold and had a bad tone. Wang Family would not easily offend them and would try their best to rope them in if they were truly pill masters. However, Wang Family would naturally not let go of them and would not let them leave Xin Si City alive if they were swindlers.
