Arrival at the Auction House

Li Bai and Li Bao eventually arrived at the auction.

The guards saw Li Bai and clicked their tongues in irritation. They then saw a figure accompanying him. It was his sister! They almost drooled - she was the most desired woman in the city.

Li Bai was downright ignored. He felt offended by this, but then again, he should be used to this by now. It's just that his fame rose to unimaginable heights in his imagination, it made him want to be noticed.

"Ahem, I'm here... with my sister... to sell something at the auction."

The guards were startled. Li Bai, selling something? It must be as worthless as him! They were hesitant to let him pass through. But when Li Bai mentioned his sister, the guards quickly let them in.

"Li Bao jie, you sell these. They're not going to accept the pills if I'm the one who gives them."

Nodding, Li Bao took Li Bai's pills and started to walk towards the inspection area. Li Bao was still stunned towards Li Bai's ability. How many more secrets does he have?

The inspector was notified that someone was coming and quickly woke up. She looked around and saw Li Bao. She was holding a bunch of bottles, so the inspector was thinking about what was inside.

"I'll sell these, on behalf of my brother."

The inspector was confused, the only thing that would fit in these bottles are pills. Unless these are pills-! She quickly took the bottle from Li Bao's hand and tipped it over, to find a pure blue sphere. It was a... high-level pill?! To top it off, there was a whole many inside the bottle?!

"What? Who made these?"

"I already told you, my brother made these."

The inspector didn't believe Li Bao. That trash, Li Bai, making high-level pills? It was just unbelievable. She was still a bit skeptical about these supposed pills. Maybe, they were just painted? She called the resident pill maker as she wasn't a pill maker herself.

"How may I help you, Miss Hou?"

"I'd like you to inspect these pills."

Miss Hou handed over the pills to the old pill maker, and not before long, the latter's eyes widened.

"Th-these are high le-level pills! Where did you get these? To top it off, it's the rare Marking Pill!"

The old pill maker was still obsessed with these Marking Pills. This made Li Bao shocked. She handed over, according to Li Bai, the lowest level pill out of the three that he made. Even so, it was still a high-level pill.

Miss Hou was shocked as well. M-Marking Pill? Miss Hou was a Second Level Mark 6-gems practitioner. Thus, this was a very desirable item for her. She had to give an offer. She was fairly rich, after all.

"Miss Li Bao, can you just sell this to me?"

Li Bao was tempted to sell it to Miss Hou, but when she thought about how hard Li Bai worked for these, she resisted.

"No, it will be sold at the auction."

Miss Hou was saddened by this answer. However, there was nothing she could do. She gave the offer because prices would undoubtedly rise to the heavens should this appear in the auction. But alas, if she angered this important customer, it would be an even more disastrous event than her not acquiring the pills before they were sold at the auction.

"Okay. Will you sell anything else?"

"Yes. These other two bottles contain higher level pills, as my brother told me."

"Hi-Higher level pills?"

Li Bao handed over the bottles full of the two pills.

The old pill maker inspected them and confirmed that they were indeed higher level pills than the Marking Pill. After approximately an hour, they recovered from the shock.

"Miss Li Bao, can you tell me who made these pills?"

If an expert pill maker appeared in this backwater city, this city would prosper! Every citizen's dream was to make this city prosper.

"I already told you, it's my brother."

Li Bao was getting quite annoyed. Why didn't Miss Hou believe that Li Bai was the pill maker? Maybe it's because pill makers are so rare, even if she said it was her father that made those pills, they would still doubt it.

However, Miss Hou didn't think that at all. Even if Li Bao said that it was a random commoner on the streets, it would still be more believable than Li Bai, the trash, making pills. What's more, of high quality!

"Stop joking, Miss Li Bao. Hehehe, I know you're just hiding it."

This was Li Bao's last straw. She was really annoyed at this woman in front of her. She already told this woman many times that it was Li Bai, her brother, who made these pills!

"If you don't want to believe me, I guess I'll just sell these in a different auction."

As soon as she heard the words that came out of Li Bao's mouth, Miss Hou's face lost all color and became pale. This was the opportunity of a lifetime! She couldn't let this go. Otherwise, old man pill maker is going to babble to the higher-ups and blame her for everything.

As unbelievable as it was, Miss Hou had no choice but to accept that it was supposedly Li Bai who made these pills.

"No, no, no! Of course, I believe you!"

"Hmph!"

Li Bao's anger was not satiated just yet, but she had to hold it in, in order to sell these pills. When she said that she was going to sell them to another auction, it was just an empty threat. Li Bai was the one who chose this auction, after all. She didn't want to destroy her brother's trust towards her.

"Fine."

Miss Hou was extremely relieved. She would have received extreme punishment were she to drive away their most valuable customer.

Miss Hou was still doubtful towards Li Bai. Nonetheless, she needed to believe that it was him who concocted these pills. The old man pill maker even praised them after appraising them. If, however, Li Bai did make these pills, then his name would surely explode.
