Chapter 22 - Rongyu Auction House

When spiritual water is mixed into any concoction, the results will only be slightly better compared to regular water. With Linyu on Yi Ling's side, her results are already doubled. It might even be tripled if she mixed it with spiritual water. She had thought this through before, but she didn't have a cauldron to test it yet. This is one of the items on her list to buy here in Feng Kingdom.

Yi Ling instructed Mu Xin to get some water for her from the pond. He handed her three small bottles. They instantly headed to the Auction House, as they still had enough time before the auction started. Linyu made the arrangements and sent one bottle for auction. He instructed the host to conduct this auction anonymously, as per Yi Ling's orders. The staff was shocked and overly excited. They instantly agreed. One could already feel the spiritual energy inside the bottle; this spiritual water could never be faked. Now they would have two main items for the auction! Their Rongyu Auction House would surely rise in prominence, they thought. Since Linyu sent a very special item for auction, they decided to send him and his "servant" to the second floor, so that they would have their own private room during the auction.

When everything was set, Linyu and Yi Ling observed the crowd from the second floor. Yi Ling never spoke out loud ever since they arrived in Feng Kingdom. She tried a bunch of times to change her voice during their journey, but she could never do it. Her voice was melodic and so maiden-like. She would only be able to change her voice by making a special concoction. The problem was, she was missing all the right herbs. She sighed. They couldn't even bid since they didn't have money. She had to wait until the bottle got sold.

Out of nowhere, she bumped her head into the table. Linyu was startled.

"Master?" Linyu whispered; they were the only ones inside the room.

"I'm okay, just thinking about money." She rubbed her aching forehead.

"Ehhh?" Linyu was confused. Yi Ling shrugged her shoulders.

Before Linyu could say anything else, the host announced that they would now start the auction. They also mentioned that aside from the spiritual sword that they got from the cave, they had just received another rare treasure that the audience would surely love. They said that the new item would be auctioned last. The reasoning behind this was that while a spiritual sword is extremely valuable, spiritual water can be mixed with anything, meaning there are endless results, making it more expensive than the sword.

The audience was surprised! They all hoped that they had brought enough money with them. Sweat formed on their foreheads and slowly trickled down. They all came from far places. Some big-name families sent envoys to buy the sword. Since there's only one winner for the sword, now they felt lucky to have another chance to get a different treasure.

Seeing the positive reactions from the audience, the host rubbed his chin and smirked. This is going to be a happy night, he thought while looking towards Linyu and Yi Ling's room.
