"After all, she's a princess of the royal family. Most people who can avoid direct conflict with her won't cause themselves any trouble. So, in the past, Yun Ningshuang did have a smooth - sailing life," Meng Xingyu said.
"It's a pity that this time, a fifth - grade Restoration Pill has appeared. Owning a Restoration Pill is like having an extra life," Dongfang Zhi said indifferently. "Tell me, compared to one's life, is the identity of a princess still that important?"
Feng Yuqin thought for a moment and realized it was indeed the case.
The black - clothed man spoke calmly, but his words were directed at the auction house. "What? Do you let the princess of the royal family pick first from the items in your auction house, and only offer the leftovers to everyone else?"
Feng Yuqin couldn't help but smile when she heard this.
Daring to confront Yun Ningshuang so directly, she guessed Yun Ningshuang must be furious.
She looked towards the opposite private room and indeed saw that Yun Ningshuang's face was extremely ugly.
"Of course not," Yingying immediately replied. "Our auction house follows the rule of the highest bidder winning."
Yun Ningshuang was about to say something else when the crown prince, Yun Feiyue, beside her spoke up. "Miss Yingying is right. If you want it, Frost, just keep raising your bid."
Seeing the crown prince's expression, Yun Ningshuang knew he was unhappy. So, even though she was extremely angry, she could only hold back and shout out her bid. "Three million."
This sudden and large increase in the bid was quite steep, and many people didn't dare to raise their bids anymore.
"I heard there are two pills of this kind," Meng Yuanhang said immediately when he saw Xia Yujia was about to raise her bid.
Sure enough, Xia Yujia didn't raise her bid any further.
"Three million and one hundred thousand," the black - clothed man raised his bid. Unlike Yun Ningshuang, who was extremely wealthy, he just raised it by a normal amount.
"Four million," Yun Ningshuang said, looking provocatively at the black - clothed man.
The black - clothed man pondered for a moment and then spoke again. "Four million and one hundred thousand."
This price was quite high, but Yun Ningshuang spoke again. "Five million."
The crowd was in an uproar. As expected of someone from the royal family, with so much silver. This bid was truly bold.
In the end, the pill was sold to Yun Ningshuang for five million.
Feng Yuqin was very satisfied with this result. "Yun Ningshuang has exhausted all her silver in the front. Later, she won't have any money to compete with me for the medicinal herbs."
Meng Xingyu smiled. "I've told the auction house about your desire for those two kinds of medicinal herbs. That's why your pills and magic cores were arranged to be auctioned first to deplete everyone's financial resources. When those two kinds of medicinal herbs are put up for auction later, people won't have as much silver on them, and you'll have fewer competitors."
Feng Yuqin looked at Meng Xingyu and smiled. "Thanks."
Then, she casually took out a small porcelain bottle. "This is my token of gratitude."
Meng Xingyu happily took it and opened it. It was also a fifth - grade Restoration Pill. His smile faded, and he handed the porcelain bottle back. "Aqin, this is too precious. I can't accept it."
After he found out she was an alchemist, when he saw her take out the porcelain bottle, he thought it was one she had refined herself, so he happily took it.
But when he saw that this fifth - grade pill was the same as the previous one, he couldn't accept it.
"Previously, the shop you helped me find exceeded my expectations. I'm very satisfied. Coupled with today's matter at the auction house, consider this pill as my gratitude for both things," Feng Yuqin said. "There will surely be times in the future when I need the Meng family's help. If you don't accept it, I won't ask you for help next time."
Since the words had been said to this extent, Meng Xingyu had no room to refuse.
"I've really hit the jackpot today. A pill is worth millions of gold coins," Meng Xingyu said excitedly.
Dongfang Zhi glanced at them and was quite impressed by Feng Yuqin's actions.
She could casually take out a fifth - grade pill as a token of gratitude.
He was sure that she was the only one like this in the Western Song Kingdom.
"The second pill is out," Mo Xuanye didn't want his woman to spend too much energy on other men.
Hearing Mo Xuanye's words, Feng Yuqin retracted her gaze and looked outside.
"This is the last pill tonight. The starting price is the same as the previous one," Yingying said directly without any nonsense.
"One million gold coins," Xia Yujia was the first to bid.
If it were Yun Ningshuang, people would still show some consideration.
But since it was Xia Yujia, there was no need for such consideration.
After all, this Restoration Pill could save a life at a critical moment, and no one wanted to miss it.
"One million and five hundred thousand..."
"Two million..." It was Feng Qing's voice.
"You also want this pill?" Xia Yujia frowned. "This pill won't be of much use to your fingers."
"Isn't it an extra life? Why not take it?" Feng Qing said coldly.
Xia Yujia noticed that Feng Qing's state was very different this time she came out.
But she didn't care. They could just compete based on their own abilities.
In the blink of an eye, the price had been bid up to four million, almost the same as the final price of the previous pill.
"Judging from the situation, the bidding will continue," Meng Xingyu said excitedly.
He was happy for Feng Yuqin. The higher the price, the more money Feng Yuqin would earn.
"Six million," Xia Yujia was still raising her bid, but Feng Qing didn't raise hers anymore.
However, the resentment in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
Today, her mother had only given her four million. In the past, this would have been a large sum of money for her.
Before coming here, she had also thought that she would surely be able to auction the things she wanted tonight.
But with the sudden appearance of the pills and magic cores, her meager amount of silver was not enough.
In the end, the pill was sold to Xia Yujia for six million.
Feng Yuqin was speechless. "One of the two pills ended up in the hands of an enemy, and the other went to Princess Ningshuang, who can be considered a potential enemy because of the upcoming medicinal herbs."
"My Qin'er is extraordinary. She can even make money from her enemies," Mo Xuanye said dotingly.
Dongfang Zhi also nodded. "If they knew these pills were yours, they'd probably be furious."
"They probably won't know," Meng Xingyu said. "When I took them there, I didn't say whose pills they were. I just said that the employer who provided the pills and magic cores had taken a fancy to those two kinds of medicinal herbs."
"So, if they don't specifically go to inquire, they probably won't know it was me," Feng Yuqin said indifferently.
"Even if they do know, it doesn't matter as long as I'm here," Mo Xuanye said boldly and affectionately.
"The magic core is out," Meng Xingyu had been paying close attention to the situation outside.
Feng Yuqin propped her chin up and squinted her eyes. "I think I should also place a bid. Otherwise, I'd be sorry for bringing out a magic core. After all, everyone is competing, and it would be strange if I didn't make a sound."
Hearing this, everyone agreed with Feng Yuqin's idea.
During the auction of the magic core that followed, not only did Feng Yuqin place bids, but Meng Xingyu and Dongfang Zhi also joined in the fun.
Mo Xuanye would hand whatever Feng Yuqin needed to her.
Feng Yi, who was standing behind, felt that his master had really changed a lot.
The master who had fallen in love was no longer the cold - faced prince he had known before.
Thanks to the pills and magic cores, Feng Yuqin made a fortune tonight.
"Now I have enough money to bid for the medicinal herbs," Feng Yuqin said happily.
"Next up are the Heavenly Heart Lotus and the Seven - Star Fruit," Yingying said with a smile. "Due to the addition of the pills and magic cores tonight, the auction has taken much longer. So, our auction house has decided to auction the Heavenly Heart Lotus and the Seven - Star Fruit together this time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was stunned.
Except for people like Yun Ningshuang, who were determined to get them, others thought that it would be good to get just one.
But with the auction house's decision, most of the people present no longer had a chance to compete.
"Prince Brother, it seems that the Heavenly Heart Lotus and the Seven - Star Fruit are mine tonight," Yun Ningshuang said happily when she heard that the two kinds of medicinal herbs would be auctioned together.
"Then I'll congratulate you in advance, Frost, on becoming Master Tan's disciple," Yun Feiyue said to Yun Ningshuang. After all, Frost was from the royal family, and having a good master would also be beneficial to their royal family.
