Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"Such rich spiritual energy, well, as expected of Young Master Ye." Jin Xiangrui didn't say much, but went to the gate and spoke to the maid outside.

As for Ye Liuyun and the other three, they had already sat down and were waiting for the auction to begin.

Jin Xiangrui stood obediently beside Ye Liuyun like a maid.

"Sister Xiangrui, why don't you sit down too? What are you doing standing here? We're old acquaintances, don't be so polite," Ye Liuyun said.

Jin Xiangrui thought for a moment, then walked over and sat down next to Ye Liuyun. But as soon as she sat down, Lin Aoxue couldn't help but glance at Jin Xiangrui out of the corner of her eye.

Clearly, Lin Aoxue's wariness of Jin Xiangrui has persisted from the days of Silent City until now.

Chapter 510 Jin Xiangrui's Thoughts (5000 words)

Lin Aoxue was wary of Jin Xiangrui.

This is mainly because she used her seductive arts to seduce Ye Liuyun when she was in Silent City, but that time Jin Xiangrui simply wanted to find out Ye Liuyun's background through her own means.

This is a businessman's nature and habit; they like to explore the details of their customers, after all, some ordinary customers may be hidden big customers.

Not to mention customers like Ye Liuyun. Of course, the main reason was that Ye Liuyun was too weak at the time. If Ye Liuyun's cultivation was stronger than Jin Xiangrui's, she definitely wouldn't have used her charm.

However, after learning about Ye Liuyun's abilities, Jin Xiangrui's mindset changed. She always wanted to find out Ye Liuyun's true gender. If he was a man, with such superb alchemy skills and good looks, which female cultivator wouldn't like him?

Unfortunately, she tried many times, but all her attempts were unsuccessful.

As for Lin Aoxue, as soon as she saw Jin Xiangrui, she had a strange feeling. She felt that Jin Xiangrui's gaze towards Ye Liuyun was strange, and there seemed to be a hint of flirtatious intent in her eyes.

As a woman herself, she naturally understood Jin Xiangrui's thoughts.

Lin Aoxue's intuition was definitely correct; Jin Xiangrui did have feelings for Ye Liuyun, especially after learning that Ye Liuyun was originally a man, these feelings became even stronger.

If Ye Liuyun told her that he no longer liked women after becoming a woman, she probably wouldn't have agonized over it. But since Ye Liuyun still liked women after becoming a woman, Jin Xiangrui started to have some ulterior motives.

However, she also understood that the chances of her little scheme succeeding were not high. Not to mention anything else, just the hurdle of Lin Aoxue alone was unlikely to let her pass.

Jin Xiangrui could feel a sharp gaze fixed on her from the side. She could guess who was watching her, but she could only pretend not to know.

The wait was quite long; half an hour felt like half a day.

As the countdown on the big screen reached zero, Jin Baifeng, dressed in a gorgeous long dress, strolled onto the auction stage.

As soon as Jin Baifeng stepped onto the stage, it meant that the auction was about to begin, so the audience in the ordinary seats immediately quieted down without Jin Baifeng even having to say anything.

"Young Master Ye, Miss Lin's auction is about to begin. If there's anything you're interested in, you can take a look at the magical artifacts in your hands. The artifacts contain information about the items and their market prices," Jin Xiangrui quickly said to Ye Liuyun beside her.

Ye Liuyun nodded, then spoke to Lin Aoxue and Yan Yu.

“Aoxue, and my two older sisters, if there’s anything you like, just buy it. It doesn’t matter how much.”

However, this time Yan Yu and Chen Yao both shook their heads.

"We won't trouble you to spend any money this time. We're quite wealthy now, so we certainly won't be stingy with what we want," Chen Yao said with a smile.

Seeing that the two of them said that, Ye Liuyun naturally wouldn't force them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Jin Baifeng. It is an honor for you all to come to Wanbaolou in Tianyi City to attend my last auction at Wanbaolou. After this auction, I will be transferred back to headquarters."

"Let me first say goodbye to some old friends and acquaintances, and hope we meet again someday." Jin Baifeng smiled and bowed to the customers in front of her to express her gratitude.

As soon as Jin Baifeng said this, some important figures who knew her couldn't help but speak up.

"Is that so? Then I congratulate Madam Jin on your great success. But Madam Jin, who will take your place after you leave? Will our sect's cooperation with Wanbaolou be affected?" asked a leader of a faction that had long cooperated with Wanbaolou.

Jin Baifeng knew who it was as soon as she heard the voice.

“Master Wu, you don’t need to worry. Although I am leaving, the contract I signed with your Wu family is still valid. After I leave, the Wanbaolou in Tianyi City will be managed by my niece, Jin Xiangrui. If you have any questions, just go to her. I have already given her all the instructions I need to.” Jin Baifeng said.

After Jin Baifeng finished speaking, others spoke up.

"Really? Your niece, why don't you invite her out so everyone can get to know her? It would be so inconvenient for us to visit each of you individually."

Many people want to meet Jin Xiangrui, but she definitely can't be seen with Ye Liuyun right now.

"Oh? I'm sorry, distinguished guests, but my niece is currently accompanying a very important guest and may not be able to meet you all today," Jin Xiangrui replied somewhat apologetically.

Having said that, the crowd felt it difficult to press further. They were simply puzzled as to what kind of distinguished guest would require the future owner of Wanbao Tower to personally receive them, as many of them had never experienced being personally received by Jin Baifeng.

If they wanted Jin Baifeng to personally receive them, they had to make an appointment. Only customers who had major business dealings with Wanbaolou could meet with Jin Baifeng.

"Alright, now that we've exchanged greetings, let's get straight to today's topic. This is my last time hosting the auction at the Tianyi City Wanbaolou, so I've prepared extensively. This time, we have treasures and cultivation techniques at the Nirvana Realm level, as well as some extremely valuable pills."

"These are the first batch of items to be auctioned today. You can use your magical artifacts to view the information of these items. If you are interested, you can place your bids through the instruments after I say 'start bidding'," Jin Baifeng indicated.

After Jin Baifeng finished speaking, she took a few steps back. As she retreated, ten round platforms slowly rose up on the stage, and ten items were placed on the platforms.

These ten superior items include elixirs, medicinal herbs, cultivation techniques, magical treasures, and other treasures closely related to cultivators.

The worst of these first batch of items are treasures at the Dao Palace level; it's impossible for Wanbaolou in Tianyi City to auction items at the Wheel Sea level.

"Alright, I won't go into the names, effects, and uses of these products. Please check them yourselves," Jin Baifeng said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators below the stage began to look at the information about the superior grade.

Ye Liuyun and the others were also examining these items, but unfortunately, they no longer needed treasures at the Dao Palace level, so they lost all interest after looking at them.

“Gentlemen, with your current strength, you probably won’t be interested in the first thousand treasures. Just wait until after the first thousand items are sold, when the treasures at the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm level are available for viewing,” Jin Xiangrui reminded them.

Ye Liuyun chuckled.

"Alright then, I'll take a nap to kill some time. When the treasures of the Four Extremes Secret Realm level come on stage, please remind us, Sister Xiangrui." Ye Liuyun chuckled and then lay down in Lin Aoxue's arms.

Lin Aoxue was speechless, thinking to herself that this was not an auction, but rather a waste of time.

Jin Xiangrui looked at Ye Liuyun lying in Lin Aoxue's arms and couldn't help but show a look of envy.

"Sigh! Why would such an outstanding man become a woman? But that's not the point. The point is, can I make her fall in love with me? Even being a concubine would be fine, at least I'd be the man I've chosen." Jin Xiangrui murmured to herself.

Jin Xiangrui's mindset was this: rather than marrying someone she didn't like, she would rather be a concubine to someone she liked. Being a concubine was just a less respectable status, but she didn't care.

However, she also understood that all of this was just wishful thinking on her part at the moment, since the important thing was whether others were interested in her.

The auction at Wanbaolou in Yicheng was unusually quiet that day, as no one actually bid; everyone used their magical artifacts to place their bids.

Not only that, the current prices of these ten superior items are also displayed on the round platform, and the numbers keep increasing.

One major advantage of this type of auction is that no one else will know who won the bid for the treasure, which effectively conceals the identity of the auctioneer.

The first thousand items were all needed by Dao Palace cultivators, so the guests participating in the auction were mostly ordinary people. For example, the formal disciples of the Supreme Response Sect generally didn't care about these Dao Palace level treasures unless they had some special functions.

After all, the Taishang Ganying Sect is a large and powerful organization. They can buy whatever they need at the sect's disciple market. Why would they need to come to the Wanbaolou Auction House?

What they want is something they cannot obtain within the Taishang Ganying Sect, or something the Taishang Ganying Sect cannot give them, such as cultivation techniques.

The practices of the Taishang Ganying Sect are not easy to obtain, and even if you can obtain them, not many are suitable for you.

Therefore, some disciples of the Taishang Ganying Sect only focus on certain cultivation methods. If they come across a cultivation method that they can use and that is suitable for them, they will also make a purchase.

Jin Baifeng had been monitoring the growth of the first batch of goods. Each batch of goods was auctioned for one minute. Whatever price the goods reached within that minute would be the selling price. There was no need for Jin Baifeng to urge them to raise the price for these Palace-level goods.

At this rate, ten items per minute, one hundred items in ten minutes, and six hundred items in an hour. In other words, items at the Dao Palace level can be processed in at most one hour and forty minutes.

The value of these treasures also ranges from low to high.

However, a batch of special goods soon appeared: Ye Liuyun's combat pills.

"Huh? This batch of goods is all pills, labeled as combat pills. Strange, I've never heard of combat pills before. Could they be pills to increase strength?" Some people became interested in the second batch of goods.

This batch of pills mainly consisted of Ye Liuyun's lower-grade Ice Explosion Pills, Thunderstorm Pills, and other similar pills. These pills were all of the second grade, meaning they could only have a certain killing power against cultivators at the Dao Palace level.

"Two-pattern pills, interesting. It seems they were made by the same alchemist. But why would this alchemist make such strange pills?" Some cultivators who understood pills were quite puzzled.

Especially cultivators at the fourth level or above felt that it was a waste for the alchemist to refine such pills, because the instructions clearly stated that these were combat pills, and activating one would result in the loss of another, and even the power was specified.

Even so, many people are still very interested in this pill, especially alchemists. You should know that there are only a handful of people in the entire Medicine Peak who can refine two-pattern pills. They buy the pill and may be able to study it.

"These pills? This must be Junior Sister Ye's doing, right?" In a VIP room, a haughty woman in a white dress looked at the pills and asked with a puzzled expression.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Li Jianxin. However, Li Jianxin had changed quite a bit compared to over a hundred years ago. How should I put it? Perhaps she had accepted her identity and was no longer like before, when she would almost always wear men's clothing unless absolutely necessary.

But now, she is clearly dressed in women's clothing, and she has also put on some light makeup and is wearing some jewelry.

That's normal. After all, she's been a woman for over two hundred years, longer than she's been a man. Cultivators believe in following the natural course of things and having a clear mind, so they certainly won't keep dwelling on the issue of gender.

This batch of pills was quickly sold out; not a single one went unsold.

As one batch of goods after another came to an end in the auction, soon all one thousand treasures at the Dao Palace level were auctioned off.

"Young Master Ye, the following are auction items at the level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Each batch of Four Extremes Secret Realm level items will be auctioned for a limited time of five minutes." Jin Xiangrui woke up Ye Liuyun from his sleep immediately.

However, Ye Liuyun seemed to be sleeping very soundly, and Jin Xiangrui's gentle calls could not wake him up.

Looking at Ye Liuyun's expression, he looked lewd and it was hard to tell if he was dreaming or not. Judging from his expression, he was definitely having a wet dream.

"Huh?" Jin Xiangrui was embarrassed.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun had not yet woken up, Lin Aoxue immediately rolled her eyes and reached out to pinch Ye Liuyun's nose.

If her nose is pinched, she'll definitely wake up very quickly.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Ye Liuyun instinctively pushed Lin Aoxue's hand away, then sat up groggily.

"What? Did you come here to find a place to sleep? You've been sleeping for over an hour, and now the goods at the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm level are being brought out. Master Jin has called you several times, and you're sleeping like a pig," Lin Aoxue complained.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun remembered that he had asked Jin Xiangrui to call him.

"Ahem, Xiangrui, I'm so sorry, I overslept." Ye Liuyun wiped her mouth and apologized to Jin Xiangrui.

"It's alright, it's alright. Actually, the treasures of the Four Extremes Secret Realm are probably not what the main guards really need. You are all high-ranking disciples of the Supreme Induction Sect, so you naturally have no shortage of treasures and cultivation techniques. However, there are some interesting things among this batch of treasures, such as puppets with Four Extremes combat power, demonic beast pets, and other items suitable for Four Extremes cultivators." Jin Xiangrui quickly shook her head and introduced.

These kinds of things do have some value, especially now that the future of Nanling is worrying; they might have to go to war with the neighboring Gu God Domain.

The Supreme Response Sect sent people to contact the forces of the Gu God Realm, but they were turned away. The reason was simple: the Supreme Response Sect regarded Gu techniques, poison skills, and curses as heretical and evil, so the Gu God Realm was destined to be unable to coexist peacefully with the Supreme Response Sect.

However, both sides are currently exercising restraint. Gu Ling Sheng said that as long as the forces of the Nine Heavens Domain do not provoke them, they will not take the initiative to deal with the forces of the Nine Heavens Domain.

But who can say for sure? After all, there are no boundary walls separating the two realms now, and they can freely travel between them.

During this period, many cultivators from the Nine Heavens Domain have entered the surrounding forces to investigate the situation, and many cultivators from the Nine Heavens Domain have even been killed by the Gu God Domain.

The reason is simple: you have trespassed on our territory. The distribution of power in the Ancient God Domain and the Nine Heavens Domain is similar. There are not many public areas; most places are owned by certain people.

Having more treasures that increase your chances of winning can only be beneficial, not harmful.

This large batch of goods has already appeared on Ye Liuyun and his companions' magical artifacts, and the four of them began to examine them.

"This is a good item, a Four Extremes Divine Form Realm puppet, but its grade is a bit low. Sister Xiangrui, there should be more powerful puppets in this auction, right?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Jin Xiangrui nodded.

“Young Master Ye, if you want combat puppets, you might as well wait a bit longer. I estimate that these puppets are not particularly useful to you right now,” Jin Xiangrui added.

However, Ye Liuyun wasn't just interested in the puppet. There was actually a higher-grade array formation cultivation manual on it, which piqued her interest. She had already fully mastered the previous one and needed a new manual, so she didn't hesitate to participate in the auction.

Given Ye Liuyun's current net worth, she can definitely get what she wants through bidding; even the experts from the Nine Heavens Holy Land wouldn't be able to outbid her.

Ye Liuyun has made up her mind. She will get her hands on all the goods from the Nirvana Secret Realm. To be precise, she will not let go of anything that the Transformation Secret Realm can use.

"Hey? Third Sister, oh no, Third Brother, are you interested in formations?" Chen Yao asked curiously when she saw Ye Liuyun participating in the auction.

"Second sister, there's no need to hide it. Sister Xiangrui knows my identity," Ye Liuyun reminded her.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, Chen Yao and Yan Yu immediately glanced at Jin Xiangrui.

They were both surprised that Jin Xiangrui also knew Ye Liuyun's true identity, which meant that Ye Liuyun and Jin Xiangrui had an unusual relationship, at least that's what they thought.

"Oh? Okay, Third Sister, are you buying the array diagrams because you want to become an array master?" Chen Yao asked again.

Ye Liuyun chuckled.

"Second sister, I've been a formation master for a long time, but I'm only a Spirit-level formation master. I learned it when I was bored, and I've already reached the limit. I need a new diagram, and luckily there's a Profound-level formation diagram here, so I bought it," Ye Liuyun replied.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao and Yan Yu were filled with such admiration for Ye Liuyun that they could only prostrate themselves in awe.

"Pervert." Chen Yao used that two words to describe Ye Liuyun.

They only knew that Ye Liuyun was very skilled in alchemy, but they didn't expect that Ye Liuyun was also a formation master, and that he was already capable of becoming a Xuan-level formation master.

Of course, there were many things they didn't know, and Ye Liuyun didn't tell them everything.

Chapter 511 Acquiring a Great Treasure (5000 words + 3300 monthly votes bonus chapter)

Ye Liuyun would basically not miss any of the items at the Four Extremes Secret Realm level that he or Lin Aoxue could use.

Although she is very capable and has almost no fear of anyone or any power, to be honest, Ye Liuyun only has seven Illusion God Pills left.
