Chapter 115

Qin Ran came to Linxian City this time to do two things.

First, he wants to set up the Big Formation to protect the mountain. The materials for the formation have not been fully collected, so he needs to try his luck at the auction house. Second, he wants to refine the Spirit Fusing Pill, but is still lacking many medicinal materials.

He walked into the auction house and found that although it was already late into the night, the place was still brightly lit with people coming and going, very lively.

...After all, how can one call themselves a Cultivator without pulling all-nighters?

Qin Ran found the counter in the hall and went over to say to the woman behind the counter, "I want to auction some pills."

"What pills?" asked this beautiful woman.

Qin Ran revealed a smile and said, "Some pills that Foundation Building Cultivators need."

Only then did the woman size up Qin Ran and find that he was just a shabby guy, not matching her impression of what a pill refiner should look like, so she was a little skeptical.

"Do you have the pills?" she asked.

Qin Ran then took out a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pill and put it on the counter, "Can you appraise it?"

This woman only had some cultivation level, at the stage of barely perceiving qi and had not condensed it into cyclones, how could she appraise anything?

She just pried open the jade seal, pretended to look it over, and discovered that it seemed to really be a medicinal pill... In an instant, her attitude became respectful by several hundred degrees.

"It really is a medicinal pill," she closed the jade seal and saluted Qin Ran, "Please follow me, sir."

After speaking, she led Qin Ran upstairs to find the person in charge of pill auctions at this auction house and introduced Qin Ran to him.

"Old Mo, this gentleman wants to auction pills."

This white-bearded Older Mo looked over at Qin Ran and asked, "Auction what pills?"

The beautiful woman then handed over the Spirit Gathering Pill to Older Mo.

Older Mo took the pill bottle, poured out one pellet, appraised it briefly, and was immediately shocked, "Top grade Spirit Gathering Pill?!"

He looked at Qin Ran, "Sir, are you an alchemy master?"

"When your auction house auctions items, do you still need to check 18 generations of a person's ancestry?" Qin Ran asked with a laugh.

On the auction stage, the host was giving the final speech, saying that this was the last auction for today and customers who wanted to buy things should hurry up and buy...

Qin Ran sat in the private room, meditating with eyes closed to nurture his spirit. He did not touch the tea, refreshments or fruits, only waiting for the auction to begin.

But very unfortunately, before the auction officially started, he noticed something was off. The private rooms on both sides and above and below him were occupied. And soon after, gazes swept over his room again and again, subtly.

"Damn it!" Qin Ran couldn't help but yell inwardly.

In the end, was it his bad luck to encounter this kind of thing every time he went out, or was the "Edge" organization's connections too wide, having found him? Qin Ran didn't know. He only knew that no matter which it was, he had to find a way to slip away.

He flipped through the auction catalogue and found that the two materials he wanted were a bit towards the back.

"Should I risk it?" he asked himself, "Or slip away directly?"

But he turned his thoughts and felt that since people had already found him here, slipping away now or later probably didn't make much difference...

Thinking thus, he actually sat down calmly, pretending not to notice the ambushes on all sides, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.

Soon after, the auction began. Treasures were auctioned off one by one, seemingly ordinary. Qin Ran also occasionally bid, like an ordinary customer. But other than the two things he really needed, he did not actually buy anything else.

After buying the Spirit Calming Wood and Clear Source Stone, Qin Ran got up leisurely and even went to find the person in charge of the auction to handle the handover... The spirit stones earned from auctioning the pills and the spirit stones spent on buying the Spirit Calming Wood and Clear Source Stone offset each other, and in the end Qin Ran still had 700 spirit stones left.

After receiving the spirit stones and materials, and finding no issues with the Spirit Calming Wood and Clear Source Stone, Qin Ran instantly knew where the problem was.

It wasn't the Linxian Auction House, it was the "Edge" organization!

With this thought, he turned and went to the pill appraisal place to find Older Mo and asked with a smile, "How are my pills?"

"The quality is very high, very good," Older Mo said. "It's my first time seeing such quality in my life."

"First time seeing in your life?" Qin Ran said. "Then you've seen them before?"

"No, I haven't seen them before!" Older Mo said. "Today is the first time seeing them."

Qin Ran smiled and bid Older Mo farewell, "Until we meet again."

"I look forward to your next visit," Older Mo said.

Qin Ran turned and walked out the door. His left hand popped a bubble while his right hand took out a porcelain bottle and poured some powder from it into the bubble. Then the bubble shrank to extremely small and drilled into the room, colliding with Older Mo's clothes and dissolving into them.

As for himself, he hurried out of the auction house. Right at the entrance, his figure suddenly blurred and his whole body melted down into a puddle of water.
