Feng Tianlan swept a light gaze over the items: a greenish Mortal Grade Treasured Sword, a Pill Recipe for the Spirit Stabilizing Pill, a Mortal Stage Skill Manual, and an emerald Pill Refining Furnace. While they might not look like much, they were indeed treasures on the Guiyuan Continent.

The old man and Shopkeeper Zhou held their breaths, their hearts racing. They were cautious not to disturb Feng Tianlan as she examined the treasures, lest she decide against selling the Spirit Boosting Pills.

“Are the Spirit Boosting Pills enough for me to purchase this Silver Jade Storage Ring and the Emerald Pill Refining Furnace?” Feng Tianlan asked, pointing at both the silver ring and the Emerald Pill Refining Furnace.

The Storage Ring was a sort of storage space. Storage spaces could be further divided into their respective grades, such as the Storage Bag, Bronze Ring, Silver Jade Storage Ring, Purple Jade Storage Ring, and Divine Jade Storage Ring. On the Guiyuan Continent, the Silver Jade Storage Ring was much rarer than a Grade 8 Spirit Boosting Ring. It was something with demand but no supply, unlike on the Xuantian Continent, where they were so common that you could practically find them anywhere. Therefore, while the pills that she had refined were technically worth enough to buy the storage ring, the Ruyi Trade House might be reluctant to sell it.

The old man blanked out for a second before smiling. “If you like it, Little Mister, consider it a gift… …”

“Elder Chen…” Shopkeeper Zhou hesitantly cut him off.

Elder Chen shot him a brief glare before continuing his conversation with Feng Tianlan with a smile, “However, I do have a request that I hope you will accept.”

“Please, go ahead,” Feng Tianlan replied softly. This was a good arrangement; she disliked taking things for free.

“I would like to sell these Spirit Boosting Pills in an auction I’m holding three days from now. Would that be acceptable?” asked Elder Chen, who cautiously observed Feng Tianlan’s mood.

Feng Tianlan was slightly surprised. Then, she quickly nodded, “Things that I have sold are no longer my possessions. My only request is that no one will know that you purchased these pills from me.”

The Tianhai Trade House would be holding an auction in three days. Therefore, the Ruyi Trade House must have chosen this day to hold its auction to go head to head with the Tianhai Trade House. They were likely worried that she would be dragged into this mess, and so had decided to ask her permission beforehand.
