Pfft!

As soon as the tea reached Bianyi's mouth, he sprayed it out.

But Shen Qiang laughed. The moment he saw the amiable smile on her face, Shen Qiang realized that Xu Nan might be up to something, but even so, he had to admit that Xu Nan was indeed a very formidable woman.

So dark!

Her heart is truly dark!

The raw materials for the Guiyuan Pills cost twenty-six thousand per ton, including various storage charges, which add up to fifteen yuan per jin. On average, with the raw materials, and Shen Qiang's current proficiency, he could refine about three to four Guiyuan Pills per jin, with each pill costing roughly five yuan.

Shen Qiang was a very honest craftsman, and his original plan was to sell each Guiyuan Pill for around five million yuan, which would have been quite reasonable.

He had not expected to meet a partner as ruthlessly cunning as Xu Nan, who not only doubled the starting bid but seeing the crowd's eagerness to buy, she went on to raise the price while sitting down. Moreover, she no longer sold them individually but insisted on selling in sets of three.

Good job, such a conniving woman has class, I like it.

Shen Qiang's eyes were curving in a smile.

However, the people in the hall were in an uproar.

"Miss Xu, this is a bit too unscrupulous of you. We're just small families; you've started the bid at thirty million yuan for three pills bound together—we simply can't afford that."

"Exactly, couldn't you split it into three auctions? One pill at a time, and I could still try to bid if I grit my teeth. But with three at once, you've completely crushed my hopes."

"A starting price of thirty million, even if I have the will, I lack the means."

Hearing the complaints of the crowd, Xu Nan's smile became even more amiable. She gently said, "Well, about this, my word isn't the final say. The elusive senior of Divine Dragon commanded so; how he arranges things is how we, Wan Xin and Sheng, must sell them."

Shen Qiang was astounded, looking at Xu Nan with surprise.

So dark!

Truly dark!

That was quite a slick way to pass the buck!

An elusive senior from Divine Dragon had requested this? Did I say that?

While Shen Qiang was still in his moment of surprise, Xu Nan smiled and said, "I also felt his decision was somewhat inconsiderate. However, powerful people often have their quirks, which we just have to understand. Moreover, doesn't everyone have three or two good friends or relatives?"

"Why not partner up to bid? Then divide the three pills among you, whether it's shared by three or two, that's your family's business. Plus, the Guiyuan Pills are so miraculous, even if you buy them yourself and then resell, you definitely won't make a loss."

Her words made sense to everyone present.

"That's true, with such a good item, you wouldn't lose money reselling it."

"Absolutely,"

"Hey, brother, go ahead and bid, count me in for a share, when you get it, I'll split the cost for one pill."

The crowd's minds worked quickly.

Xu Nan's eyes crinkled into lines, her delight not at all hidden.

Afterward, the auction began.

Wan Xin and Sheng introduced three sets of Guiyuan Pills.

They sold for thirty-eight million, thirty-seven million, and forty-one million yuan, respectively.

Besides those.

The Qingfeng Mountain Three Masters, indeed, kept their promise.

They paid thirty million to Wan Xin and Shengyou.

But from beginning to end, they did not deign to give Shen Qiang even a glance, radiating an attitude that someone like him was not even qualified to speak to them.

However, as they were leaving, they respectfully said to Xu Nan, "Miss Xu, if you see the senior who refined the Guiyuan Pills, please convey our utmost respect from the Qingfeng Mountain Three Masters to the elder. Should the senior ever pass by Qingfeng Mountain, the three of us brothers will surely welcome him with open arms."

This made Shen Qiang want to laugh.

As for the young man who kept repeating his surname was Li, ever since the Qingfeng Mountain Three Masters recognized the Guiyuan Pill, he never looked at Shen Qiang again.

Let alone argue.

Fortunately, in the end, he won the last set of Guiyuan Pills for forty-one million, a price that suddenly made Shen Qiang rather fond of the guy. Considering he might buy again next time, bringing more money to Shen Qiang, Shen Qiang did not want to make it difficult for him.

After they left, Shen Qiang went to Xu Nan's office.

Xu Nan was smiling so wide she couldn't close her mouth, saying, "Thirty-seven plus thirty-eight plus forty-one, the Guiyuan Pills for one hundred and sixteen million, the Qi Gathering Powder was too expensive, no sale, but one bottle of Blood Lipid Bone Healing Ointment sold for thirty-three million, a total of one billion, four hundred and ninety million. I need to deduct a handling fee of 4.47 million from you."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Round it up."

Xu Nan proudly rolled her eyes at Shen Qiang and said, "Even clear accounts among sworn brothers, I'm not coveting your petty change."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Good, I really like this about you."

After transferring the money to Shen Qiang, Xu Nan smiled and said, "Shen Qiang, your master is so amazing, the Elixir Pills he presents are all top-notch, it's truly impressive. When you have time, take me to meet him."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Ah, my master's Alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary, and his Alchemy posture is particularly cool. It's just a pity that he is a Divine Dragon who shows his head but not his tail. I can't say for sure when he will have time. You better continue to sell his medicines well. Maybe one day, on a whim, he'll come to see you directly."

Xu Nan laughed.

Meanwhile, at the same time.

At the western end of the main road in front of Wan Xin and Shengyou, across the street was Cheng Xinyi.

At this moment, the hall was crowded with cultivators.

"What fantastic treasures! If the Guiyuan Pill is as miraculous as the Three Masters claim, then the price is a bit low," an elder said with excited eyes as he looked at the Guiyuan Pills.

The Qingfeng Mountain Three Masters were sitting proudly to one side.

"We three have personally experienced it, and we wouldn't utter half a lie; upon taking the pill, True Qi surges instantly, it's incomparable to any ordinary Divine Pill," they said.

At this time, an elder with a goatee spoke displeased, "What else do you three know besides refining Kang Body Pills? Too inexperienced! The world is vast, and there are as many exotic masters as there are carps crossing the river." Turning his head, he gave a forced smile towards Bai Jiao, who was frowning, "Miss Bai, now that Wan Xin and Shengyou has the Guiyuan Pill, I'm afraid my Divine Pill can no longer brighten your establishment."

Bai Jiao responded with a charming smile, "Uncle is worrying too much. Your Divine Pill is matchless in Huaxia, no other pill can compare. At least, they at Wan Xin and Shengyou cannot produce anything like it. Thus, Cheng Xinyi still depends on your efforts, Uncle."

These flattering words somewhat lifted the goatee elder's spirits.

The smiling Bai Jiao was so beautiful that the young man who proudly claimed the surname Li and spent forty-one million on three Guiyuan Pills was utterly captivated.

Regrettably, Bai Jiao's gaze was not on him at the moment.

To catch Bai Jiao's attention, he slapped his thigh vigorously.

Everyone blinked in surprise, and as expected, Bai Jiao turned her gaze toward him.

Seeing Bai Jiao's eyes slightly surprised as they looked at him, he couldn't help but say out loud, "Master, your Disciple is dull. Previously, at Wan Xin and Shengyou, because of the contention between the Guiyuan Pill and the Divine Pill, your Disciple, along with Master, suffered insults from an ignorant second-generation heir. In the heat of the moment, I forgot that since he dared to call Master trash, we should rightfully challenge him face to face and showcase a superior Divine Pill."
