After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 193 Nameless Dragon Bone
With the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce card in hand, Lin Zhao quickly found the largest auction house in Beicheng, which was indeed a property of the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce.

When she took out the card Zhao Wuyan had given her, the girl who was in charge of greeting her was obviously taken aback for a moment, but she still maintained a gentle smile on her face: "Could you please wait a moment, esteemed guest?"

There were only three of these cards in the entire business, and although she was just a receptionist, she had heard of them.

Lin Zhao nodded.

The young woman didn't keep Lin Zhao waiting for long; she soon arrived with a richly dressed middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was dressed simply, but Lin Zhao could tell that his seemingly simple outfit was made of extremely luxurious materials. The slightly darker black ring was actually made of the rare and precious Ink Blood Spirit Stone, and the brownish-red long robe was actually woven from the silk of a thousand-year-old spirit silkworm. In the market, handkerchiefs made of thousand-year-old spirit silkworm silk have been sold for exorbitant prices.

The fact that the man before them could make a long gown out of it speaks volumes about his status.

Looking at her own attire, Lin Zhao instantly felt a sense of despair.

"Is this card yours?" the middle-aged man asked Lin Zhao with a smile.

His smile had a business-like obsequiousness, but it wasn't overly worldly; at least Lin Zhao felt very comfortable with it.

"Yes."

"I apologize for not greeting you properly. I am Nie Shenghai from Beicheng Wuyou Auction House. I am the manager and appraiser of this auction house. May I ask how I should address you?"

Lin Zhao said, "Lin Zhao, a rogue cultivator."

"Fairy Lin, please come in." As Nie Shenghai led Lin Zhao to the private room on the third floor, he praised her without reservation: "Fairy Lin truly has an extraordinary temperament and is very promising at such a young age."

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow: "Master Nie, you flatter me. Can you really tell my cultivation level?"

Those who can discern her cultivation level must be at least above her level.

She didn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from Nie Shenghai. Unless Nie Shenghai was a powerful being above the Heartbeat stage, it was impossible for him to hide his cultivation level so well in front of her.

Nie Shenghai laughed heartily: "Fairy, please don't flatter me. I do want to cultivate, but unfortunately, my spiritual roots are too mixed. However, after traveling all over the country for so many years and struggling to get to this position, at least these eyes can still be used."

This is how someone roughly guesses their cultivation level is not low simply by looking at them.

Lin Zhao felt a sense of admiration and sincerely replied again, "Master, you flatter me."

Upon hearing this, Nie Shenghai's smile deepened. He went to the innermost private room on the third floor, opened the crystal door, and said, "Fairy Lin, please come in."

After Lin Zhao went inside, he found with some interest that he could see the outside world clearly through the glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows.

But she clearly remembered observing the glass door before coming in; from the outside, it was impossible to see what was happening inside.

"This is a specially made glass surface for the auction house. If you wish, you can press the button on the controller next to you so that people outside can see you. If you don't wish to, press it again and people outside will not be able to see you."

How thoughtful!

Before Lin Zhao could even express his feelings, the auction house staff lined up to put down the spirit fruits and pastries, and then silently withdrew.

"People with Foundation Establishment cultivation are working as waiters here?" Lin Zhao said to Granny Honghu, "This place is truly luxurious."

“Just a small local auction house, look at you, so pathetic,” said Granny Honghu. Lin Zhao replied, “Master, I’ve only been to two, haven’t I?”

I never expected that the auction house in this small town of Beicheng would be no less impressive in some aspects than the auction she attended in Youlan.

“The level of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent is inherently higher, and there are some things that the Heavenly Phoenix Continent doesn’t have, so it’s not surprising that it has this level,” Granny Honghu explained.

"But little girl, if you think you can buy the things I want you to buy here, you'll be disappointed."

Putting aside other things, the dragon bones needed to refine talisman brushes are almost impossible to find in such a small place.

"Then let's buy some medicine-making materials first." Lin Zhao rested his chin on his hand. "I'll buy them and start making medicine to quickly improve my cultivation. That way, I'll be better prepared when I go to the Phoenix Medicine Sect."

There's no rush to buy the more advanced items at the Worry-Free Auction House in the heart of the Northwest Continent.

Besides, by then, she will have controlling interest in Worry-Free Auction House, and she'll have plenty of money to buy whatever she wants.

Grandma Honghu noticed her thoughts and laughed, "You're quite good at planning."

Lin Zhao chuckled: "That's called making reasonable use of resources."

Nie Shenghai asked, "What does Fairy Lin want? If the auction house has it, we'll prepare it for you in advance. There's about an hour left before today's auction."

Lin Zhao didn't stand on ceremony with him. He asked for paper and pen and wrote down all the medicinal materials he needed to refine the fifth-grade pill.

"I want all of these, the more the better."

Nie Shenghai glanced at the list briefly, his expression growing increasingly grave. He said, "Fairy Lin, these are all materials from spirit plants and spirit beasts of level five or higher. They would be rare treasures even in the entire North City Auction House. We simply don't have most of them here. Of course, we'll arrange for you to have what we do have immediately, but even at the lowest discount, the price is still not low."

Lin Zhao took out two jade bottles from his ring: "These two bottles contain two perfect-quality Rank 5 pills, the Qi-Recovering Pill and the Spirit-Healing Pill. The Qi-Recovering Pill can help cultivators in the Fusion Stage recover their spiritual energy, and the Spirit-Healing Pill can help cultivators in the Fusion Stage recover from internal injuries. I don't need to explain the effects of perfect-quality pills, do I?"

Actually, these two bottles of pills were leftovers from what Lin Zhao had refined on Spirit Beast Mountain.

She had originally planned to keep it for herself in case of emergency, but now, looking at it, it seemed that if she didn't take it out soon, she wasn't sure if she could consume the medicinal herbs the auction house had given her with the remaining spirit stones she had.

"There are five pills of each of these two types in the two jade bottles. Is that enough?"

Five? Perfect quality? Grade 5 pills?

These words were like giant hammers, pounding on Nie Shenghai's head, leaving him somewhat dazed.

He only asked to test how much this Fairy Lin really knew, but he didn't expect her to make such a big deal out of it.

"That's enough, that's absolutely enough! Fairy, please wait a moment. I'll go and appraise these two bottles of pills for you right away. Do you need anything else?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Zhao, just in case he stumbled upon the perfect opportunity, wrote down the dragon bone, level nine cold wolf fur, and meteorite needed to refine the talisman brush.

Sure enough, after these three materials came out, Nie Shenghai's brows never relaxed.

"These three items... to be honest, Fairy, are extremely rare. You might only be able to see them in the central cities of the Northwest Continent. However, this dragon bone... the highlight of this auction is a piece of dragon bone of an unknown species."
