Although there were many guards around the courtyard, they were all cultivators at the Qi Refining level and could not detect Chen Yang at all.

After quietly leaving the Liu family, he quickly headed to the auction house he had visited.

Today, this place has been renamed "Tianbaoge Qingzhou Branch".

Chen Yang entered the store and found Meng Shuang.

Meng Shuang's injuries had healed considerably. She wore an elegant long dress, and her round face was like a jade carving. Although she couldn't be described as stunningly beautiful, her temperament was gentle and pleasant, making her a standard beauty.

The two entered the inner room. Chen Yang first took out two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills and handed them to Meng Shuang, saying, "Shuang'er, take these two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills when you have time, and quickly improve your strength."

Meng Shuang was taken aback, then quickly waved her hand, "Young Master, you mustn't! You need strength more than I do right now!"

Chen Yang gently flicked Meng Shuang's forehead and laughed, "Eat it if I give it to you! Once your strength improves, you'll be able to take on important responsibilities for me in the future. I have other ways to improve my strength."

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming serious: "Furthermore, there's an auction tonight, and we have five hours to promote it!"

Upon hearing that there was something important to discuss, Meng Shuang immediately perked up and patted her chest, saying, "Alright! Don't worry, young master, I guarantee I'll complete the mission! What are we auctioning today?"

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Yang took out six longevity-enhancing medicinal herbs, each over a hundred years old, and six longevity pills from his storage ring, and neatly arranged them on the table.

"That's all for tonight," Chen Yang emphasized. "And all I want are spirit stones, not gold, silver, or worldly possessions. Having more of those things is useless!"

Looking at the treasures before her, Meng Shuang asked in bewilderment, "These all seem to be things that promote longevity?"

Chen Yang nodded: "They're all used to prolong life. So our clientele tonight consists of the old monsters from various powerful families! Anyone who's old will naturally want to live longer; the older you get, the more afraid you are of death—that's a truth!"

He instructed, "Find an artist immediately to draw these items and label them 'can extend lifespan.' Also, make a short story: 'In the Wang family of the capital, there was a Wang Erhai, originally a Blood Exchange Realm cultivator who lived to be 98 years old, nearing the end of his life. He happened to buy a Longevity Pill and lived for another 10 years!'"

"In those 10 years, he broke through to the Golden Core Realm, not only revitalizing the Wang family but also extending his lifespan to 150 years! In the following 50 years, he obtained another great opportunity and stepped into the Transcendent Foundation Establishment Realm! Now, 100 years later, Wang Erhai is still alive, and with his support, the Wang family has become a transcendent force, spanning the Great Ming Kingdom and extending to other countries!"

Meng Shuang's eyes widened, and she looked at Chen Yang with envy: "Young Master, Wang Erhai is so lucky!"

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh: "This is just a little story I made up to get those dying old men to spend their money!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Shuang covered her mouth and laughed, "Young master, so you're a shrewd merchant too!"

"This isn't being a profiteer," Chen Yang laughed. "It's giving those old men hope, making them live more fulfilling lives! The point is, we need to get them to willingly spend money!"

He added, "By the way, there will be a threshold for tonight's auction. Everyone entering must carry at least 50 spirit stones. Anyone without 50 spirit stones will not be allowed in!"

Meng Shuang nodded: "Understood! I'll get to work right away!"

She immediately found an artist to create exquisite posters and started up the printing equipment that Chen Yang had previously tinkered with.

In just over an hour, more than 8000 copies of the Little GG were printed!

The book features exquisite illustrations of the longevity pill and medicinal herbs, as well as the captivating story of Wang Erhai who lived an extra hundred years thanks to a single longevity pill, making it extremely enticing.

Chen Yang and Meng Shuang both knew that the core clients of tonight's auction were not ordinary elderly people, but the three major families of Qingzhou and hidden rogue cultivators.

Meng Shuang immediately had the flyers delivered to these people.

Inside the Ma family residence.

Ma Tinghai also received a poster.

He glanced at the poster's contents, then noticed the sign that read "50 spirit stones required for entry," and laughed in anger. He tore the poster to shreds, cursing, "Tianbao Pavilion's style is truly domineering! They killed my Ma family members before and didn't even offer an apology, and now they dare to set up a barrier for an auction? 50 spirit stones to enter? Are they desperate for money?"

"And this story about Wang Erhai is obviously fake! That bastard, so heartless! No wonder it's the number one auction house in the Ming Dynasty!"

Ma Tinghai was young and impetuous, and he was not interested in anything that could prolong life. He scoffed at it and didn't take it seriously at all.

But in the Ma family's backyard, the 92-year-old Second Elder and the 95-year-old First Elder were so excited that they trembled all over when they saw the poster!

They are all cultivators at the Blood Exchange Realm. If nothing unexpected happens, their blood and qi will decline within 10 years, they will be bedridden, and their lifespan will come to an end!

Now, the Tianbao Pavilion from the capital has actually come to Qingzhou City to auction off medicinal herbs and elixirs that can prolong life!

Moreover, judging from its condition, it is definitely an extraordinary treasure!

After all, the organizer is Tianbao Pavilion!

The two old men exchanged a glance, and without any hesitation, immediately took out all the spirit stones they had accumulated over the years, eagerly preparing to participate in the evening's auction.

There are quite a few elderly people who share the same thoughts.

These old men, nearing the end of their lives, all understood that staying alive was the most important thing! All other things, such as family, property, power, and status, were insignificant in the face of lifespan!

The auction was held as scheduled that evening.

With the reputation of Tianbao Pavilion in charge, no one dared to cause trouble, and the place remained orderly.

The auction itself wasn't particularly intense, but each item was fiercely contested by the elderly, causing prices to soar!

An hour later, the auction came to a successful conclusion.

Ma Chuxing, the eldest elder of the Ma family, excitedly ran back to the Ma family, clutching the exquisite jade box containing the longevity pill. He was so afraid that the pill would be robbed and killed on the way that he protected it very carefully.

The next day, morning.

Inside the private boxes at the back of the auction.

Chen Yang was already waiting.

Meng Shuang walked in with a smile, her face full of joy.

Chen Yang asked, "How was last night? How did it go?"

Meng Shuang chuckled, placed a heavy box in front of Chen Yang, and suddenly opened it.

The spirit stones inside the box emitted a rich and dazzling spiritual energy!

Chen Yang glanced at them and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "So many?"

"Young Master, these old men are incredibly wealthy!" Meng Shuang exclaimed excitedly. "Those six medicinal herbs and six longevity pills fetched a total of 2723 spirit stones at auction! It's all thanks to your little story. Those old men, desperate to survive, didn't hesitate at all, paying without batting an eye!"

Chen Yang chuckled: "They'd have to be rich first! Looks like these old monsters from big families have quite a few spirit stones hidden away!"

With a flick of his wrist, he stored the entire box of spirit stones into his storage ring.

When Meng Shuang saw this method of storing things out of thin air, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she sensibly did not ask any further questions.

Chen Yang stood up and said, "Shuang'er, I'm going back to the Liu family first. Remember to take good care of yourself. Apart from me, you don't need to handle anything else personally; just leave it to your subordinates."

Meng Shuang nodded: "Don't worry, young master! Now that we have the protection of Tianbao Pavilion, no one in Qingzhou City will dare to provoke us!"

Chen Yang smiled, turned around and quickly left the auction house, heading towards the Liu family.

They returned to the quiet little courtyard of the Liu Qingxia sisters.

Chen Yang then opened his system, took a deep breath, and looked on with anticipation.
