Chapter 181: Problem with being Rich (1/2)

Alex left his master's house and went back to his house. He made a few more pills to pass some time and prepare himself for tomorrow morning.

”Hmm… I should have asked the master how the test is done. I hope I don't have to make a Metal aligned pill for the test or I don't know how I would make it so that it doesn't have a high harmony. Similarly, Other pills can't have high harmony or it would cause some trouble too. Although, I should be fine as long as I don't make a heaven-grade pill.”

” I should also not use Elemental Guidance tomorrow so that the pills I make don't have a lot of Harmony,” he said. He was making as many plans as possible to not do well in tomorrow's test.

After making those pills, at around 1 pm in the afternoon, he left the sect. It took him about 15 minutes to go from his house in the sect leader's mountain to the gate at the outer sect, and then it took him about 15 minutes of walking to go from there to the Pink Cloud Auction house.

”I hope the items have been sold by now. They did say

A staff lady who knew his face took him to the inside of the auction house where the Cai Ping and the old person from before were waiting for him.

”Fellow Daoist Yu, you're here,” the old man with the long white hair spoke.

”Good afternoon, Fellow Daoist Yu,” Cai Pint greeted as well.

”Hello,” Alex gave a single nod as a greeting in return.

Alex sat on the chair opposite the two people and waited for them to speak.

The older man simply reached for a storage bag and gave that to Alex. Alex looked into the storage bag with some expectations, hoping to make some good bucks, but what he saw astounded him.

He started counting, one after another.

'1, 2 ,3 … 51, 52, 53 … 172, 173, 174 … 293, 294… 389, 390, 391 … 422, 423, 429.' His eyes went wide with shock. ”429 True Spirit stones?” he asked the people in shock.

”Yes,” The old man nodded.

”Is this… after the 10% charge?” he asked hesitatingly.

”Of course, Fellow Daoist Yu,” the man smiled seeing Alex's reaction. In fact, he himself was surprised at how much money had been issued for him to give back. However, he wasn't surprised why that was at all.

Being near the Saint realm himself, the man could understand the people's willingness to spend so many spirit stones to get their hands on something that could help them get the fabled Spiritual Sense.

Alex's hands were slightly trembling, holding the most expensive item in his whole life up until now.

'If I sell my remaining 3 flowers, I… I... I will be a millionaire,' he thought. This was a very tempting thought for him, but he managed to shake himself out of that thought.
