Meanwhile, Elder Yu and Lin Jing simply exchanged some formalities and did not engage in much conversation.

Soon after, the steward came out with a storage bag and a wooden box in his hands.

“These are the Spirit Stones from the auction of your Pure Accumulation Pill, after deducting the commission, the rest is all here.”

“And this.”

The steward opened the wooden box, which indeed contained the Biling flower rootstock that Lin Jing had bid on.

“The expenses have been deducted from the Clear Accumulation Elixir Medicine you sold, plus the previously deducted commission, leaving you with a total of 4425 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”

Having said that, the steward handed the storage bag and Biling flower rootstock to Lin Jing.

This storage bag was different from the one Lin Jing had; it was specially used by Yuebaolou for large transactions, just to make the trade a bit more convenient.

The space inside was very small; slightly larger objects couldn’t fit in, and it wasn’t very valuable either.

“Thank you.”

Lin Jing took the storage bag and inspected it; there were precisely 4425 Medium Grade Spirit Stones inside.

Lin Jing put away the storage bag and the Biling flower rootstock.

After he had put away his things, Lin Jing turned and posed a question to Elder

“May I ask fellow Daoist…”

“Is there another way to leave the venue without going through the main entrance?”

“Are you not planning to attend the upcoming auction? There are still many fine items ahead,” Elder Yu asked.

Lin Jing shook his head, offering no further explanation:

“No, I plan to leave now.”

Elder Yu did not ask further, as everyone has their own privacy.

Afterward, he pointed towards the direction of a passageway:

“After you walk out from here and follow the corridor straight, turn right at the end, and there will be a side door that leads directly out of the venue.”

“Thank you, fellow Daoist. Farewell,” Lin Jing said, bowing with his hands clasped to Elder Yu.

“Farewell,” Elder Yu responded, also clasping his hands.

Then, Lin Jing turned around and left the place.

As he walked along the passageway, Lin Jing found, just as Elder Yu had said, the side door that led out of the venue, and not far away was a quiet alley.

Without saying another word, Lin Jing turned into the alley…

It wasn’t long before a bearded burly man came walking out of the alley.

This burly man was Lin Jing, after changing his appearance.

After leaving the alley, Lin Jing did not return to his own courtyard but instead headed towards Yuebaolou.

Because next…

He still had two Pure Accumulation Pills left and intended to continue participating in tomorrow’s auction.

This was something Lin Jing had already planned.

By attending the auction and selling one Elixir Medicine, he could then ascertain how much one Pure Accumulation Pill could fetch under such circumstances.

Meanwhile, selling them separately would command a much higher price than auctioning them together.

After all, rarity breeds value…

If he took out all three at once, he probably wouldn’t be able to achieve such a high price.

That was Lin Jing’s initial thought.

Upon arriving at Yuebaolou, the person in charge of registration of auction items was still Manager Zhao.

When Lin Jing took out two Pure Accumulation Pills, Manager Zhao was stunned.

He probably never imagined someone would bring out more Pure Accumulation Pills.

It took a while before he came back to his senses.

“Please wait a moment,” he said.

After speaking, Manager Zhao called for a maidservant to invite a Pill Master from Yuebaolou.

It wasn’t long before the Pill Master arrived; besides Elder Yu, he was the most formidable Pill Master in Yuebaolou.

However, because he was obsessed with Alchemy and rarely interacted with others, he kept a low profile.

Lin Jing had only met him once under Elder Yu’s introduction.

Now, due to the lack of manpower because of the auction, they had even asked him to come out.

Upon his arrival, the Pill Master directly took the Elixir Medicine from Manager Zhao and examined it.

Then, he opened the Pure Jade Box, picked up the Elixir Medicine, and observed it for a while longer.
