Upon smelling this long-lost aroma, the cultivator in blue was already nearly certain.

This is a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Due to industry rules, he still used Yu Wu to take it out and carefully examined it.

Goodness, it truly has two lines, with this quality, the climax of the auction is bound to be lively again... The cultivator in blue placed the Foundation Establishment Pill back into the bottle.

"How is it?" Ji Yuan asked.

"The quality is excellent; it could be featured in the climax of this auction."

The cultivator in blue said as he placed the Jade Bottle back on the table, then brought out a contract shrouded in restriction and placed it on the table.

"Young friend, if you decide to auction this Foundation Establishment Pill, just sign your name on this contract and leave your aura. When the auction succeeds, we only need to take a small portion as the cost of this auction."

"How much?"

Ji Yuan looked at the contract, not rushing to sign.

"Five out of one."

That's 5%, which is no different compared to other auction houses, meeting expectations... Even so, Ji Yuan still checked the contract thoroughly and, after ensuring there were no issues, signed it.

What he trusted was not this contract, but the auction house and the reputation of the Water Dragon Sect behind it.

In terms of taking advantage of Loose Cultivators, the Water Dragon Sect has no reputation.

But in terms of auctions, the six Immortal Sects of Shang Dong are all highly reputable.

The logic of eating one's fill in one meal versus having regular meals is understood by them, and even if they cheated Ji Yuan this time, it wouldn't satiate them.

After signing the contract, the cultivator in blue stored away the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Then he handed Ji Yuan a Token, which was an "admission ticket" to this auction.

Because Ji Yuan's auctioning of the Foundation Establishment Pill could be the climax, he received the treatment of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, not needing to sit in the ground floor hall but could go to a room upstairs.

Seeing Ji Yuan put it away, and with no one else coming in,

the cultivator in blue smiled and said, "Just saw young friend's real name, surname Qiu, this doesn't seem to be a surname from our southern side."

Shang Dong is divided into the southern and northern parts by the Starfall River.

The cultivator in blue had previously seen Ji Yuan's real name was "Qiu Qianhai," and, considering himself well-informed, hadn't heard of any Qiu family within the Water Dragon Sect's territory.

"No, I'm from the north."

Ji Yuan replied matter-of-factly, "I wouldn't dare sell this Foundation Establishment Pill in the north, those auction houses, many know my family's old ancestor, if they found out, I'd be in big trouble."

The cultivator in blue laughed heartily.

"Young friend is indeed prudent."

"Alright, no time to chat with you, I've been in Cyan Leaf City for a few days, know any good places to visit, might as well go have fun."

Ji Yuan waved impatiently and walked out the door as if selling this Foundation Establishment Pill was like selling a Low Grade Magical Artifact.

The cultivator in blue watched Ji Yuan leave, and not until he was out of the door did the smile on the face of the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator disappear.

"With such manners, he might indeed be a young master from some Golden Core Clan. Qiu family... haven't heard of any Golden Core Zhenren surnamed Qiu up north either."

"Never mind, never mind, Cangluo is vast, full of hidden talents, doesn't matter, getting some Spirit Stones is what matters."

"..."

Ji Yuan left the auction house and cast the matter behind, waiting only to collect his Spirit Stones in a few days.

Then he'll also see if there's anything he needs and bid accordingly.

He walked up and down the street and eventually sold Jian Zong's superb Magical Artifact grade Flying Boat in a shop named "Treasure Pavilion."

He gained 18 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Coming to Cyan Leaf City, not visiting Du Wanyi was out of the question.

Ji Yuan turned left and right, made sure no one was following him, and then followed the address Du Wanyi gave last time to a courtyard.

The courtyard was located on Fulu Street, with no shops nearby, all residential areas, the environment looked quite good.

Du Wanyi's courtyard gate was locked, which presumably meant she was off working.

Ji Yuan was not in a hurry, so he found a teahouse nearby to drink a couple of pots of tea, waiting until sunset to see Du Wanyi come back.

Seeing her return, Ji Yuan didn't rush over, but waited until he leisurely finished his pot of tea before visiting.

The other party just got back from work, it's only polite to let her rest a bit, right?

Ji Yuan stepped forward and knocked on the door, soon footsteps were heard from inside the courtyard.

"Who... Fourth Brother?! Why are you here?!"

Du Wanyi, initially somewhat irritated upon opening the door, was delighted upon seeing who stood outside.

"Second Sister, I've come to this side, yet I haven't visited."

Ji Yuan smiled.

Once inside, Du Wanyi asked, "Were you just here for the auction, only to think of dropping by to see me?"

Ji Yuan, having been found out, showed no embarrassment.

"Second Sister, just say whether I came or not."

"Yes, you came."

After entering, Du Wanyi poured tea for Ji Yuan and offered some fruits.

Throughout, Ji Yuan said nothing, for he noticed that Du Wanyi seemed troubled.

Though happy on the face, her brow remained furrowed, clearly worried.

After they sat down, Ji Yuan asked, "Second Sister, are you encountering any problems?"

"Ah?"

Du Wanyi seemed surprised by the question and shook her head.

"Nothing major, just busy with auction matters lately, so there's a lot to handle, a bit annoying, that's all."

As she spoke, Ji Yuan kept observing her.

Knowing her well, he could easily tell she was lying, not speaking the truth.
