Chapter 772: Chapter 772: The Highest Treatment_1

The thing this girl feared the most was being humiliated, especially given that Ling Xiao’s appearance right now was, quite frankly, excessively ferocious.

It was inevitable for her to feel anxious.

Fortunately, the auction had ended, and before long, Yun Ya and her royal uncle arrived at the VIP hall.

She was still so charming and alluring.

She was still so full of grace and poise.

She still had a figure that was curvaceous in all the right places.

This Yun Ya was nothing short of a natural-born enchantress!

"Young hero, I hope you haven’t been waiting for too long?"

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, the very breath she exhaled seemed fragrant.

Ling Xiao was seated beside her, experiencing a brief moment of a distracted mind.

However, his soul power was immensely strong, and he quickly regained his composure, "No, I’ve just arrived as well."

Seeing that Ling Xiao was only momentarily distracted by her beauty, Yun Ya couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

She hadn’t expected Ling Xiao to fall for her instantly, but the fact that he remained so collected in the face of allure probably meant he wasn’t easy to entice.

"By the way, Princess, I noticed the auction has ended. May I ask how your collection went?"

"Rest assured, young hero!"

Yun Ya smiled slightly, her eyes seemingly electric, almost too piercing to look into directly.

Only a person with a soul power as strong as Ling Xiao’s could face such electrifying gaze and still remain calm and self-assured.

"After deducting the commission and tax, there are fifteen million low-grade spirit stones left, all stored within this Storage Ring. Please, young hero, take it."

Fifteen million?

Ling Xiao felt his calculation was not bad, so how come there were an extra five million?

Upon seeing Yun Ya’s smile, he instantly understood—this woman was trying to win him over.

But he wouldn’t refuse the spirit stones that came without cost, and this favor was easy to repay. At worst, he would just craft a few more pills to auction off here later.

This was precisely what Yun Ya had anticipated.

"Thank you for your kind intentions, Princess. If I have anything to auction in the future, I will certainly come to you first," Ling Xiao replied.

In this way, Ling Xiao had put her mind at ease.

"Thank you for your generous favor, young hero!"

Yun Ya exchanged a smile with the white-bearded elder; they had thought this matter would be difficult, but it turned out to be surprisingly smooth.

It seemed that the person behind this young man was quite reasonable after all.

"There’s no need for thanks, but may I ask, Princess, about the herbs I asked you to help find—do you have any leads?"

Ling Xiao transferred the spirit stones from the Storage Ring into his own and casually inquired.

A flicker of joy and pride shone in Yun Ya’s enchanting eyes as she smiled and said, "Young hero, you can rest assured. Our Imperial Auction House is the largest on the Heavenly Dragon Continent. It would be shameful if we couldn’t handle such a small matter!"

Having said this, she took out another Storage Ring and extracted all the materials Ling Xiao needed for crafting the Heavenly Pulse Pills.

Ling Xiao checked them, and there were enough materials for twenty batches, meaning that if every crafting attempt was successful, he would be able to make twenty Heavenly Pulse Pills.

The Imperial Auction House truly lived up to its reputation as the first auction house on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, having gathered such valuable materials for twenty batches in such a short time.

If he had to find them by himself, it would probably take one or two months to collect everything.

Impressive!

Twenty will probably be enough for him to advance to the Breakthrough Sky Meridian Martial Artist.

If there’s any leftover, it can be given to Joshua Long.

Right now, Joshua Long is the sole disciple representing Divine Sword Sect. Should he become one of the Six Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty in the final round of the Sacred Dynasty’s Martial Arts Festival, the power dynamics of the Sects within the Holy Dynasty might very well need to be reassessed.

"The Imperial Auction House is truly formidable. Thank you!"

Ling Xiao gathered all the herbal ingredients and then directly paid for twenty portions with low-grade spirit stones.

"This amount of spirit stones should suffice, and you may keep the rest as a service fee."

Ling Xiao wouldn’t be stingy with spending some low-grade spirit stones for these medicinal herbs.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ya shook her head and said, "Young hero, these herbs are a token of goodwill from the Imperial Auction House, not a transaction. If you insist on paying, it would be as if you’re looking down on us."

"You don’t want money?"

Ling Xiao frowned and said, "I don’t like owing favors to others."

"Rest assured, young hero. Our intent is merely to establish a basis for future cooperation with you and nothing beyond that," Yun Ya replied.

Yun Ya was truly astute, knowing that the best way to put Ling Xiao at ease was to speak frankly.

"If that’s the case, then I’ll respect your wishes and accept graciously."

After all, Ling Xiao’s low-grade spirit stones weren’t carried by the wind. It was always better to save than spend them. Cooperating with the Imperial Auction House meant future prospects for procuring ingredients wouldn’t be an issue.

At most, he would have to auction off part of the pills he refined through the Imperial Auction House.

With such a favorable partner, how could he possibly refuse?

After accepting the herbs, Ling Xiao casually handed a porcelain bottle to Yun Ya and said, "This bottle contains top-grade true yuan pills. While not as impressive as the transcendent pills, they are still yellow grade low-level pills of perfect quality. There are a hundred of them in total. Please take them to auction."

Ling Xiao no longer needed these top-grade true yuan pills; Heavenly Pulse Warriors require heavenly origin power, so he must refine a new kind of pill—the Heavenly Elemental Pill.

The Heavenly Elemental Pill is necessary for Heavenly Pulse Warriors, Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, and Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists alike, and he would probably need to source the ingredients from here.

So, giving the other party some benefits upfront is only appropriate.

Yun Ya then passed the porcelain bottle to the white-bearded elder.

The elder merely sniffed the bottle under his nose and his face lit up with elation, "You are a true marvel, young hero. Rest assured, you can come to collect the low-grade spirit stones from this auction at any time you wish."

"Then, I am in your debt. I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!"

Ling Xiao was anxious to get back to refining the Heavenly Pulse Pills and had no time for small talk here.

"Please, young hero!"

To Ling Xiao’s surprise, Yun Ya and the white-bearded elder actually led the way out for him, a courtesy that might not even be extended to the Sacred Emperor himself.

Just as he stepped out of the VIP hall’s entrance and hadn’t walked far, he suddenly saw a few people approaching from the other direction.

These individuals were prominent figures from among the Twelve Sects, including the Golden Light Heavenly Lord and Lan Yu’er.

The others included the Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord, Si Kong Xuan, Dao Wuming, and the Blood Saber Sect Leader.

They had come to the VIP hall initially to inquire with Yun Ya about where the perfect grade transcendent pills had been sourced from.

Yet upon arrival, they witnessed a scene that utterly surprised them.

Yun Ya, in charge of the Royal Auction House, was actually offering an ingratiating smile to a teenager, an attitude that was clearly sycophantic.

This was simply inconceivable.

Despite Yun Ya’s charming and seductive ways, she was by no means frivolous. On the contrary, being a Princess, she was extremely proud.
