Huh? Is it so easy to increase the male lead's favorability?

Hearing this, Xu Hanrou's face turned cold.

A top-grade spiritual stone!

She only brought three top-grade spirit stones with her this time!

It is also prepared for some elixirs that may appear in some mysterious auction items!

Nowadays, puppet poison is rampant and one might get infected if one is not careful. Who wouldn’t want to have a few more detoxifying pills?

Thinking of this, Xu Hanrou's hand holding the spirit tablet tightened slightly, and her fingertips turned white.

but……

She looked at Wen Jin with poisonous eyes and spoke with some difficulty: "One top-grade spirit stone plus one hundred high-grade spirit stones."

When this price was announced, there was an uproar.

"You——!" Xu Hanhuai looked over in astonishment. He glanced back at the elders who looked a little puzzled, and said to Xu Hanrou in a low voice, "Don't mess around! This is already way over budget! If there are any high-level pills later——"

"The Xu family was named, do you want me to say no?"

Xu Hanrou's hand, which was tightly holding the spirit tablet, relaxed slightly after the bidding. After a moment's thought, she interrupted Xu Hanhuai's words.

It seemed as if he had found a suitable reason for himself, and the corners of his mouth, which had been tightly pursed just now, now slightly raised.

She stood up, turned around and saluted to the elders sitting behind her: "Please forgive me, elders. Han Rou had no choice but to do this. In order to save the face of the Xu family, I can only bid again."

"No problem." An elder said, "You are also doing this for the Xu family, but don't bid any more."

"It's not worth spending a top-grade spirit stone on a stone you don't know when you can use it." He said slowly.

The annual income from his manor is only two or three top-grade spirit stones, which is beyond the reach of most people. It is not worth it to buy high-level practical elixirs for a piece of stone that he doesn't know how to use.

Hearing this, Xu Hanrou lowered her eyes slightly.

I think the top-grade spirit stone that the female cultivator took out was all the belongings of an ordinary female cultivator like her. How could she compare with the Xu family behind her?

"Yes." Xu Hanrou responded obediently.

Unfortunately, just as she finished her words, she heard the bidder raise the price again: "Room 3, one top-grade spirit stone plus 500 high-grade spirit stones."

Wen Jin put down the spirit tablet, frowned, and looked at Ji Yunmiao: "It's really annoying. They won't add any more this time."

Based on her experience, the Xu family had been trying to hold out just now. Now that she had raised the price by four hundred high-quality spirit stones, the Xu family probably wouldn't follow suit - unless the eldest daughter of the Xu family had a mental problem.

"It seems that the next one should be bidding on the pills." Ji Yunmiao heard the three hammer sounds and turned his gaze downwards from Wen Jin.

Sure enough, the first one taken out was one of the two Lingcui Pills that Ji Yunmiao gave out in the afternoon.

Looking at the Xu family bidding against others again, Ji Yunmiao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.

"The Xu family offered 700 high-quality spirit stones."

"Congratulations to the Xu family, seven hundred and eighty high-grade spirit stones."

As the auctioneer's hammer fell three times, the Lingcui Pill finally belonged to the Xu family.

Xu Hanrou put down the spirit tablet in her hand with a bad look on her face.

She had already lost face by failing to get the Snow Soul Stone just now, and now even this pill almost exceeded her budget.

She looked in the direction of the Zhou family, her eyes darkening.

"Ajin, what do you think the Xu family would think if they found out that we provided this medicine?"

Ji Yunmiao smiled, glanced at Wen Jin and asked.

Wen Jin was immediately interested when she heard this. She raised her eyebrows and smiled with evil humor: "How about we compete with her for the next Spiritual Essence Pill? We can earn back the money from the Snow Soul Stone."
