Bai Lian sighed inwardly but nodded, "I see, it’s alright... tell about yourself"
Bai Lian just talked casually before taking her leave.
Huo iling sighed and looked at Fu Zhen, "Let’s not ntion senior brother’s na while we are in this establishnt"
Fu Zhen nodded. He didn’t want to ss up sothing so he listened to her. After going through the outer sect he had beco quite humbled.
The treatnt he got before Huo iling ca to et him was not sothing he had imagined going through before he arrived at this sect.
"We welco everyone. Let’s begin the auction..."
A sweet lodious voice echoed through the auction hall as a woman wearing a beautiful laced robe with a veil appeared on the stage.
After it began Huo iling and Fu Zhen just beca spectators as one item after another began selling at high prices. They had never been to such a highly reputed auction house.
After a few items later the pills they had brought for auction ca. The woman only brought out two pill bottles first.
"Ladies and gentlen these are Soul Essence Restoration pills of grade 4. They are of peak stage and their quality is peak tier but the most important part is that they are created by the sa senior alchemist who had created the Core Formation pills we auctioned off a few months ago..."
Hearing that so of them rembered which pills she was talking about as they were quite famous and sought after but Skycloud Auction Pavilion never sold them again.
"Are these pills similarly potent?" One of the custors sitting in a VIP chamber spoke.
"Indeed they are," the woman nodded.
"Does this an that you are in contact with him now? Can we get to know who this senior is?" The man spoke again.
Everyone wanted to have a close connection with an alchemist of that level. Specifically those big powers with so influence were eager to et him.
The woman shook her head, "Unfortunately no. Now let the bidding start. The starting price is 2400 dium-grade spirit stones. No less than 100 dium-grade spirit stones should be increased per bid..."
Everyone sighed at her no and started the bidding.
"2500"
"2600"
Slowly the bid reached 4000 spirit stones and Huo iling and Fu Zhen were stunned inwardly.
"4100"
...
Only after reaching 4100 did the bid slow down.
"4200"
...
"4200 going once, twice... sold"
Two pills were sold for 4200 spirit stones and if this continued then wouldn’t they be carrying about 25,000 spirit stones? They were now scared to even reach the sect.
The pills really were quite sought after and they ended up being sold near 4000 spirit stones per batch.
In the end when Huo iling and Fu Zhen ended up holding 25,300 spirit stones even after a little deduction from the auction pavilion.
The maid assured them that their identity was hidden so no one would know and they could safely make their way back.
Huo iling and Fu Zhen nodded and imdiately scurried over to the sect. Only when they entered inside the gate did they relax.
"This mission seems dangerous now..." Huo iling shook her head.
"Yes I think we should ask for more spirit stones from senior brother Lin. Given how much he earns he might give them to us..." Fu Zhen was really tempted seeing so many spirit stones.
"No. A hundred spirit stones is already too much, don’t be greedy" Huo iling declined imdiately.
"Ok ok I was just joking ", Fu Zhen imdiately backed off. He was a little afraid of Huo iling after sleeping with another woman without her permission.
Huo iling didn’t say anything and they returned to their cave abode.
...
In the evening Huo iling arrived at the spirit field. Lin Feng stopped his cultivation and looked at her, "Was everything fine?"
Huo iling took out the spirit stones from her storage bag and placed them on the table in front of Lin Feng, "Not really. It was just an eye-opener for us. There was one thing though. Soone inside the auction pavilion was asking your na..."
Lin Feng wasn’t much surprised. It was normal that the old man might be interested in his identity. He took out the pills for tomorrow and passed them to Huo iling.
"Her na was Bai Lian. I politely declined and she didn’t ntion it again. She didn’t seem a bad person to ..." Huo iling took the pills and said.
Lin Feng was surprised a little. It seed sohow Bai Lian had reached so conclusions. Although it didn’t matter even if she found his identity as she had taken an oath to not ntion it to anyone, "I see. You did well not ntioning it. Here take this..."
Lin Feng passed her 200 spirit stones instead of 100. Huo iling was surprised, "Senior brother Lin it’s too much"
Lin Feng waved his hands, "Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing much."
Huo iling nodded. It really wasn’t much if she saw it from his perspective, "Then I will take my leave."
Lin Feng thought for a mont and stood up, "Let drop you to the inner sect."
These two mountains were quite big. Even with her cultivation realm it might affect her a little.
Huo iling hesitated a little but nodded. It wasn’t like there was anything left which he hadn’t seen or touched.
Lin Feng didn’t stand on ceremony after he got her nod. He caught her by the waist and pulled her into his arm before flying up.
Huo iling bit her lips and buried her face in his chest to hide her face as she felt bashful being seen like that in his arms who was not her partner.
Lin Feng himself didn’t want to create too many rumours as him being seen with any woman like that would definitely create one so he flew higher and faster and reached the mountain top shortly and left Huo iling on top which was always empty.
