Chapter 35

Feng Tianlan swept a light gaze over the items: a greenish Mortal Grade Treasured Sword, a Pill Recipe for the Spirit Stabilizing Pill, a Mortal Stage Skill Manual, and an emerald Pill Refining Furnace . While they might not look like much, they were indeed treasures on the Guiyuan Continent .

The old man and Shopkeeper Zhou held their breaths, their hearts racing . They were cautious not to disturb Feng Tianlan as she examined the treasures, lest she decide against selling the Spirit Boosting Pills .

“Are the Spirit Boosting Pills enough for me to purchase this Silver Jade Storage Ring and the Emerald Pill Refining Furnace?” Feng Tianlan asked, pointing at both the silver ring and the Emerald Pill Refining Furnace .

The Storage Ring was a sort of storage space . Storage spaces could be further divided into their respective grades, such as the Storage Bag, Bronze Ring, Silver Jade Storage Ring, Purple Jade Storage Ring, and Divine Jade Storage Ring . On the Guiyuan Continent, the Silver Jade Storage Ring was much rarer than a Grade 8 Spirit Boosting Ring . It was something with demand but no supply, unlike on the Xuantian Continent, where they were so common that you could practically find them anywhere . Therefore, while the pills that she had refined were technically worth enough to buy the storage ring, the Ruyi Trade House might be reluctant to sell it .

The old man blanked out for a second before smiling . “If you like it, Little Mister, consider it a gift… …”

“Elder Chen…” Shopkeeper Zhou hesitantly cut him off .

Elder Chen shot him a brief glare before continuing his conversation with Feng Tianlan with a smile, “However, I do have a request that I hope you will accept . ”

“Please, go ahead,” Feng Tianlan replied softly . This was a good arrangement; she disliked taking things for free .

“I would like to sell these Spirit Boosting Pills in an auction I’m holding three days from now . Would that be acceptable?” asked Elder Chen, who cautiously observed Feng Tianlan’s mood .

Feng Tianlan was slightly surprised . Then, she quickly nodded, “Things that I have sold are no longer my possessions . My only request is that no one will know that you purchased these pills from me . ”

The Tianhai Trade House would be holding an auction in three days . Therefore, the Ruyi Trade House must have chosen this day to hold its auction to go head to head with the Tianhai Trade House . They were likely worried that she would be dragged into this mess, and so had decided to ask her permission beforehand .

“Little Mister, let me be frank . We plan to reconstruct the Ruyi Trade House with the Spirit Boosting Pills . As we will be putting them up for auction on the same day as the Tianhai Trade House, we worry that Little Mister will be implicated . ” Thinking that she might not know much about their feud, Elder Chen carefully explained it to her .

Although it was true that the items belonged to them the moment that they purchased them and that they were fully entitled to using them however they wanted, they did not wish to see such a young boy with so many pills suffer revenge from the Tianhai Trade House .

“How does the Ruyi Trade House intend to hold the auction?” Feng Tianlan asked . Elder Chen was unexpectedly forthright to explain the reasons behind their plan .

“We intend to promote our auction with the Mortal Grade Treasured Sword, Mortal Stage Skill Manual, and the Pill Recipe of the Spirit Stabilizing Pill . As for the Spirit Boosting Pill, we plan to use it as the masterpiece…” Elder Chen candidly shared the auction plan that he had formulated the moment he saw the Spirit Boosting Pills .

After hearing his plan, Feng Tianlan nodded in slight admiration . If Elder Chen’s idea went as planned, while there was still a slim chance of winning, it would still be like smashing an egg against a rock .

She contemplated for some time . She thought highly of Elder Chen’s goodwill to remind her of possible dangers . Besides, she needed a partner who could collaborate with her for the long term . From now on, she would need more medicinal herbs and an even larger platform to sell her Pill Medicines . Taking all of that into account, the Ruyi Trade House was the best choice .

Having come up with a counter plan, Feng Tianlan raised her head and said mildly, “I would like to sell Marrow Cleansing Pills in three days . ”

“What?” Shopkeeper Zhou was stunned . Did his ears fail him?

“Marrow Cleansing Pill?” Elder Chen was much calmer, though he too widened his eyes in shock . He stared at Feng Tianlan in obvious disbelief .

The Marrow Cleansing Pill was even rarer than the Spirit Boosting Pill . If they could get their hands on one, their chance to win would increase by 50% . However, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was extremely difficult to obtain . Could she really bring them one?

Feng Tianlan nodded lightly . “However, I will need all the herbs and ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pills to be ready before tomorrow night . ”
