Under Qin Hongye's seductive glance, the whole place returned to silence.

"The Qianmai Palace auction has officially begun. Everyone knows the rules, so I won't repeat them. Before the third call, the price should be raised. If the third call is not completed, the price will not be raised."

"The first lot is up for auction. Please take a look, gentlemen. This is a fan painting passed down from the previous generation of calligraphy and painting master Dai Heng. The brushwork is quite fine, and the house and furniture are not amiss. The starting price is five hundred taels, and the bidding will begin now."

"I'll give you six hundred taels."

"I'll give you eight hundred taels."

"I'll give you one thousand taels."

"One thousand taels for a fan is a bit expensive. Forget it. I don't want it."

The field gradually became quiet.

"Is there anyone else bidding?"

"One thousand two times!"

"A thousand or two times!"

"One thousand two or three times!"

"Deal! Congratulations to this guest. Someone will present the auction items in a moment. Please pay on the spot."

The auction was in full swing, and each item was extraordinary, attracting everyone's scramble.

Yun Wanqing's heart was drawn to the climax that night as the coveted Huan Xin Pill came on sale.

"Mother, with such a fierce competition, can we get the elixir?"

Not knowing when this pill would be put on sale, she could only listen to the previous lot being sold. The repeated shouting was like a beating on her heart, making her frightened heart fluctuate. She was now covered in cold and hot sweat, and her hair was stuck to her sweaty face.

Li was even more frightened. Apart from the repeated sounds of the hammer, he could not hear any other sound.

"Next is the long-awaited elixir. Are you ready?"

Qin Hongye's inner strength and gentle voice were like a drop of water dropped into a boiling oil pan, exploding into flowers.

"First, the healing pills, the starting price for each one is five thousand taels."

"I'll pay ten thousand taels!"

"I'll pay fifteen thousand taels!"

"I'll give you 20,000 taels!"

......

In the end, the healing pills were sold at an average price of 20,000 taels each, the tendon-strengthening pills were sold at an average price of 30,000 taels each, and the tranquility pill was bid up to 70,000 taels.

"Young Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bought two healing pills and one tendon strengthening pill."

"Prince Ning snapped up one healing pill and one tendon strengthening pill."

"Prince Sheng of Beibohou Mansion bought the Qingning Pill."

"The other healing pills and muscle strengthening pills were bought by the people in the private rooms on the second and third floors."

"The Xibohou Mansion only managed to snatch one tendon strengthening pill."

"okay, got it."

The reporter left, and Yun Qianyou leaned against the window sill, looking towards somewhere on the third floor.

The voice that called out seventy thousand taels just now should be Gu Feng who was beside Cangyu. The black figure sitting in the private room, was it him?

Did he recover so quickly from his injury?

Counting the days, it has been five days already. It is not impossible for me to go out to play.

She saw the dark figure sitting there and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

"Mother, we're here, we're here, it's time for the Huan Xin Pill auction."

Yun Wanqing's nervous and excited heart was about to jump out of her chest. Just listening to the thrilling events of the night, she could hardly bear it.

"Madam, the Qingning Pill has only been sold for 70,000 taels. The demand for Huanxin Pill should not be greater than that. I estimate that less than 50,000 taels should be spent."

Butler Cai Bo was very nervous the whole night. This was the first time in his life that he participated in an auction. Now his hands were so nervous that he couldn't even hold the number plate.

"This is the last lot for auction tonight - the Illusionary Heart Pill. Dear guests, don't miss it."

"Starting price: fifty thousand taels..."

Before Qin Hongye finished her words, a sharp female voice came from the second floor.

"What? So expensive? Are you robbing me?"

Qin Hongye's eyes were as charming as lightning as she quickly stared at the second floor. In an instant, ten men in black, wearing masks, appeared from behind the stage, waiting for Qin Hongye's instructions.

"Young lady, do you not understand the rules of Qianmai Palace? Or do you not understand the rules of the auction? Is there room for doubts from others here?"

Qin Hongye's cold voice was so penetrating that Yun Wanqing, who was standing by the window, retracted her head in fear.

"Sorry, sorry, this is our young lady's first time here and she really doesn't understand the rules here."

Cai Bo spoke quickly, sweating profusely from nervousness.

"If you dare to disrupt the order of Qianmai Palace, don't blame us for throwing you out. We will also thoroughly investigate your origins. Relatives within the three clans will no longer be allowed to step into the gates of any of Qianmai Palace's industries in various countries in the future."

"what!"

Those who came to the auction for the first time all let out long exclamations.

Fortunately! Fortunately! I followed the rules.

If I were thrown out for this reason, there would be no need for Qianmai Palace to hunt me down, and I would have no place to stand in the three tribes.

Everyone knows that Qianmai Palace's businesses involve restaurants, jade shops, and other secret services spread across the four countries. Going in and out of these places is a symbol of power and honor for the various countries.

At this time, Yun Wanqing was pressed down on the chair by Li and dared not go near the window anymore.

"Well, since this is your first time here, I'll give you a chance to correct your behavior. If you make trouble again, don't blame Qianmai Palace for being rude!"

Qin Hongye looked towards the second floor, her cold eyes turning into a charming look.

"The bidding for Huan Xin Dan has started. Anyone want to make an offer?"

"Fifty-five thousand taels."

A deep voice rang out from the closed window on the third floor.

"King Sheng?"

Qiao Nan turned and looked at Yun Qianyou who was sitting and making tea.

"What does Prince Sheng want to do? Do you want this medicine?"

"Just watch first. I believe Hongye can grasp it." Yun Qianyou said lightly.

Li took a long breath and nodded at the housekeeper.

"Fifty-six thousand taels."

"Sixty thousand taels!"

"Sixty-one thousand taels!"

"Seventy thousand taels!"

Li covered her wildly beating heart, her face turned from red to white, she suppressed the trembling in her heart and nodded to the housekeeper again.

"Seventy-one thousand taels!"

There was silence in the place. No one expected that this pill, which could only provide comfort for twelve hours, would actually surpass the Qingning Pill.

Also, are you sure you are not competing with each other by bidding like that?

Do the people in these two private rooms have any grudge against each other?

People were talking about it one by one.

"Seventy-one thousand taels, once!"

"Seventy-one thousand taels, twice!"

As Qin Hongye announced, Li and Yun Wanqing looked at the hammer raised high nervously, and both clenched their hands as if waiting for the verdict.

"Eighty thousand taels!"

There was another sound coming from the window on the third floor, and instantly Li and Yun Wanqing deflated like balloons that had been punctured.

"Keep going! Keep shouting, I don't believe I can't get it!"

Li's eyes were red and his voice was suppressed, as if he was going crazy.

"Eighty-one thousand taels."

Cai Bo's voice was trembling. This was his first time participating in an auction. His heart couldn't take it anymore...

"Eighty-nine thousand taels!"

"Ninety thousand taels."

Cai Bo's voice seemed to not come from his own throat, and he was shaking uncontrollably.

"Ninety-nine thousand taels!"

The venue was so quiet that everyone's heart seemed to be beating like a drum. Watching this scene, I wonder where the hammer will stop?

"One hundred thousand..."

Cai Bo's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. He spoke two words carefully and almost swallowed the last word out of nervousness.

The low and steady voice from the third floor came to an abrupt halt, and everyone fell silent in anticipation.

"One hundred thousand taels, once!"

"One hundred thousand taels, twice!"

"One hundred thousand taels, three times!"

"Deal! Congratulations to the guest on the second floor for winning the last lot of this auction, the Illusion Heart Pill. Someone will deliver it to the private room later. Please prepare 100,000 taels of silver in advance."

"Thank you all for your support. For every guest who comes today, I will give a cup of Tianyi Restaurant's newly released herbal tea to ease your excitement."

In the private rooms of Qianmai Palace and the lobby on the first floor, many people holding trays suddenly appeared, quietly serving herbal tea, and then retreated like the tide, as if they had never appeared.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, this is the strength of Qianmai Palace.

Any young man has unfathomable kung fu skills.

In particular, no one knew where they had been hiding just now, as if they had suddenly appeared from behind them.

"I think you are just like this tea, a little deep, a little strong, a little bit...hahaha! My dear guests all understand."

"I hope everyone has enjoyed a wonderful night. You are all welcome to visit Qianmai Palace often. Today's auction ends here."
