Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Private Auction

"What is the name of this dan medicine?" Xiao Zhan asked.

He was more interested in the effects of this dan medicine than the All Recovery Pill just mentioned.

The All Recovery Pill only heals injuries but cannot restore energy, which, if used in battle, would be of limited use. After all, if an adversary has beaten you once, they can just defeat you again after you’ve healed.

Hence, the All Recovery Pill is more suited for post-battle recovery.

But a dan medicine that can restore energy would be much more useful. An enemy that was unbeatable might become beatable with the use of this pill.

Of course, that doesn’t apply if the gap in strength is too wide.

Still, in practical terms, this dan is indeed better than the All Recovery Pill.

Of course, consuming both pills would be the best scenario.

"This is called the All Healing Pill," Su Mulan replied.

"Good," Xiao Zhan acknowledged as he casually pocketed it and tossed it into the Dimension Space.

With an indifferent expression, he thought that frankly, with his current strength, he might not even need to use it.

Better to have it than not, at the very least.

Su Mulan’s brows furrowed slightly as she noticed Xiao Zhan’s reaction. She felt a bit discontented.

After all, these two dan medicines were the top-grade medicines of her Mulan Guild, usually reserved exclusively for Sixth Grade Spirit Masters, and they were priceless. Just taking one out could cause a frenzy.

Yet, for Xiao Zhan, they seem dispensable.

Not being valued doesn’t feel great.

But she couldn’t lash out.

Luckily, at that moment, Liu Xin interjected, "These two dan medicines were jointly crafted by two S-ranked Artifact Spirits in our guild. They can only make one each time and need a week of rest afterward due to the tremendous exertion. They can’t be mass-produced, and only they can make them."

By saying this, she was informing Xiao Zhan of the true value of these medicines, that they weren’t mass-produced items meant to deceive him.

It also showed that the Mulan Guild was giving him the due importance.

"Really? I see, that’s truly quite precious. Thank you very much for your generosity, President Su."

Xiao Zhan caught the underlying message and quickly responded with a surprised and delighted expression.

But to the discerning observer, it was clear he was just putting on an act.

Liu Xin knew better than to say more. She fully understood Xiao Zhan’s capabilities; to others, these pills might indeed be something to be grateful for, but in Xiao Zhan’s hands, they weren’t that useful.

After all, even Sixth Grade Spirit Masters have been defeated by Xiao Zhan; how many people in this world could truly pose a threat to him?

Su Mulan also noticed Xiao Zhan’s attitude and could only laugh wryly inside. She had thought that offering these two items would make Xiao Zhan and his companions feel appreciated, thereby cultivating a good relationship with him.

But as it seems now, Xiao Zhan and Liu Xin don’t seem too interested.

At the same time, her interest in Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong grew stronger.

She knew the value of these two pills well; even a Sixth Grade Spirit Master receiving them would sincerely express gratitude to her.

Xiao Zhan’s demeanor only indicated one thing: what he possessed must be far superior to these two dan medicines, and he likely had even more in quantity.

That’s the only reason why Xiao Zhan wouldn’t consider these pills valuable.

Therefore, she was very curious about how Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, who appeared to be from just one of the ordinary eight major families, could have such an impressive backing.

After receiving the items, Xiao Zhan saw that it was getting late and didn’t wish to stay any longer.

He said, "President Su, is there anything else? If not, I’d like to have a private chat with President Liu Xin."

A private chat?

Su Mulan glanced at Liu Xin and then immediately said with a smile, "Nothing else. You two talk. It just so happens I wanted to whisper a word or two with my idol."

Saying so, Su Mulan prepared to take Ye Youlong elsewhere.

Ye Youlong looked at Xiao Zhan, hesitating slightly in his eyes but chose not to say anything more and walked out with Su Mulan.

However, just then, a waitress appeared at the door.

She respectfully said, "Miss Su, the auction is about to start. Would you like to attend?"

Hearing this, Su Mulan turned her gaze toward Xiao Zhan, "The auction is starting; do you want to join?"

"No need," Xiao Zhan replied, uninterested in the auction.

Su Mulan nodded, not particularly interested either, but added, "I heard the items at this auction are very precious and novel, coming from a newly discovered Secret Realm."

A new Secret Realm suggests new treasures.

And there’s a good chance these items have never been seen before.

Of course, she mentioned this casually, mainly to hint at the auction’s uniqueness, so Xiao Zhan wouldn’t regret missing it later and blame her for not clarifying beforehand.

She was keen on maintaining a good relationship with Ye Youlong.

Good relations with Ye Youlong naturally meant good relations with Xiao Zhan; taking care of both was key.

She was about to tell the waitress they would not be attending when Liu Xin spoke up, "Let’s go anyway. This auction isn’t open to outsiders; only those who have stayed in the courtyard are eligible to attend, and the items are direct sources. Perhaps you can find something good."

As Liu Xin said this, she looked meaningfully at Xiao Zhan.

His brows furrowed slightly as he seemed to perceive something from her words. Looking into Liu Xin’s eyes, he pondered for two seconds and then agreed, "Let’s have a look then."

He suddenly agreed to it.

After just a word of persuasion from Liu Xin.

Su Mulan’s look towards Liu Xin changed at once.

From the brief exchange and their eye contact, she could feel that the relationship between Liu Xin and Xiao Zhan wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the surface. Something must have happened between them on the mission.

She discreetly shifted her gaze to Ye Youlong, but found he was utterly calm, as if the previous conversation had never happened.

She was puzzled. Was such obvious ’flirtation’ not apparent to Ye Youlong?

Or did he notice but choose to accept it?

She shook her head, dismissing the thoughts from her mind; after all, whatever their relationship was, it wasn’t really her concern.

She didn’t want to get mixed up in such complicated relations. She just needed to be a good fan girl.

At most, she thought she might advise Liu Xin not to create uncomfortable situations for herself.

After all, the others were bound by a Life and Death Contract; why meddle in it nonsensically?

Yet, it seemed odd. How could Liu Xin, who was usually so rational, act out of character after knowing about the Life and Death Contract between the others?

It wasn’t Liu Xin’s style.

Maybe the relationship between the three was more complex than she thought?

Hmm, she’d find a chance to ask Liu Xin later.
