“I see a lot of pill-making talent in the Third Miss Feng. Does she have any intention of seeking a teacher, I wonder?”

Feng Chengzhi extended an olive branch, wanting only to examine the Marrow Cleansing Pill further. What ‘talents’ in pill making could Feng Xiuyu possibly have? Taking her on as a student would be like taking on an extra medical errand child. Furthermore, Feng Xiuyu was well on her way to becoming the Third Princess Consort. Not only would he look good as the Princess Consort’s master, but it would also open future doors. What a great plan.

Feng Xiang couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at this suggestion and was quick to dismiss him. “As Yu’er has other plans in mind, I’m afraid that we have to turn down Alchemist Feng’s kind offer. However, we can loan the Marrow Cleansing Pill to you for a night. It’s fine so long as you return it tomorrow.” Alchemists could only be pleased, not provoked. All in all, there was no harm in making friends with an Alchemist.

“I appreciate it, Clan Head Feng.” Feng Chengzhi carefully cupped the Marrow Cleansing Pill in his hands and forgot all about Feng Xiang’s rejection. After all, he’d only asked in the spur of the moment.

Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing the conversation. What they’d just decided would greatly benefit her in the same way as if someone sent a pillow her way just as she was feeling drowsy.

Just then, Elder Chen walked up to the stage, emerging from the backyard, and announced, “We would like to thank everyone for attending this auction held by the Ruyi Trade House. Allow me to present a small gift from the Ruyi Trade House’s new master, Master Shen.”

As he was making the announcement, Shopkeeper Zhou walked out with a tray in hand. On it, there were some Qi Fostering Pills, albeit with some impurities. From the looks of it, they seemed to be Grade 8 Qi Fostering Pills with a 50% fusion rate. Nevertheless, they still cost a small fortune.

“These are Master Shen’s instructions. Here are small gifts for everyone who attended—please, do accept them.” Elder Chen smiled kindly and motioned to Shopkeeper Zhou to distribute the pills.

“These are genuine Grade 8 Qi Fostering Pills with a 50% fusion rate.”
