The old man was dignified looking. The girl look at him and said, "Gran, I mean Elder what are you doing here?" The old man looked at her smiled and said, "I heard some commotion. So have come here personally to see what was going on here." The girl replied with respect, "Actually this guy came here with some pills and said that they are some 1st grade Qi gathering pills but I have never heard about them. So I was about to call some elder to testify his word" "Oh, so this guy is giving you trouble let me have a look at these pills" the elder said and straight began to examine the pills. Then he said to Long Ryu, "Little guy what can these pills do? I am sensing the soul power of a 2nd stage alchemist from this pill. It looks like a 2nd-grade pill to me"
After hearing this pill can be a 2nd-grade pill Long Ryu's heart was about to burst out of happiness a 2nd-grade pill will really make him rich. With a big smile, Long Ryu started marketing those pills. It looks like he was trying to scam that old man. The old man couldn't believe that he ask, "How can prove what are you saying is true?" Long Ryu knew that this is a big business opportunity he said to the old man, "Let's do this. You will give this to anyone you want and if he or she breakthrough to a minor stage you will give me 20000 low-tier Qi stones and an item from your auction house. If it didn't work you will have that pill for free" The old man knew it was a 2nd-grade pill but he didn't believe that it will help someone break through automatically. He accept the challenge and said to the girl, "Ok, you eat that pill" That girl was in the elementary profound realm 6th stage cultivator. If she eats that pill she will be a 7th-stage cultivator.
That girl hesitated for some time but after taking her time she eat the pill and start absorbing the pill. After consuming the pill behind her a cat appear and start sucking the Qi from nature and the qi in the girl's body was also increasing rapidly soon she breakthrough into the 7th stage and stopped advancing. The Old man was really surprised to see this but there was also a trace of happiness.
The old man look at Long Ryu and said, "Thank you for bringing such a miraculous pill to us and helping Linger advance a level and I will arrange your payment as soon as possible. You should look at the Item you want to buy as payment and take this token of our V.I.P. guest with this token you can take part in an auction any time." After saying that old man left.
The girl was with him they both were walking toward the auction house. Long Ryu was really happy to gain so many benefits. "Thank you and sorry for doubting your pills" Long Ruy suddenly hear someone saying this. He look behind and saw it was that girl apologizing for what she did. Her face was red in shame. Long Ryu smiled and said, "You don't need to apologize if I was in your situation I would have done the same." After hearing this the girl felt relaxed around him. Then they both of them reached the auction house.
When Long Ryu entered the hall everyone was looking at him but he was wearing a disguise. So nobody saw his real face and he also saw a familiar face. That was Liu Chan and he was sitting next to another man. He knew who that man was he was the young master of the Han clan Han Fan. Long Ryu didn't care about him so he sat on an empty sit then he said to the girl, "Little girl why are you standing there? Sit next to me" The girl got angry and said in an angry voice, "Why hell are you calling me little girl? I have a name you know. My name is Xiao Ling and you also don't look much older than me." "Oh, so little girl your name is Xiao Ling. I will call you Linger" Long Ryu replied. Xiao Ling's face turned red and said, "Stop flirting with me and take the item you want and go away."
Long Ryu then focuses on the auction item. The item now auctioning is a 2nd-grade pill recipe. Long Ryu didn't have any interest in that recipe but he saw the Han Fan was biding he really wanted to do something. He said to himself while looking in Han Fan's direction, "Sorry I don't have anything against you but you're sitting with my fated villain." Bid was going on and Han Fan bided 10000 Low-tier qi stones he was nearly winning it but Long Ryu bided at the last moment 11000 Low-tier qi stones. Han Fan bided again 15000 then Long Ryu bided 16000. That triggered Han Fan's anger he looked in Long Ryu's direction and bid 21000 Low-tier Qi stones. But Long Ryu said, "I am out".
