The price of the elixir had already reached 1,800 taels, when suddenly a voice shouted, "3,000 taels!"

The shouting in the hall stopped instantly, not because three thousand taels was too high a price, but also because they could not afford to offend the person who made the bid.

Fu Chengling looked at the result with satisfaction that no one dared to compete after he personally made the bid.

Yun Ling's voice came: "The Second Prince bids three thousand taels. Is there anyone else who wants to follow? Three thousand taels once, three thousand taels twice..."

"Four thousand taels!"

The crowd was excited.

"It's someone from the fifth floor!"

"How dare you compete with the Second Prince."

"Yeah, there are so many bottles in the back."

"You can sit on the fifth floor, but you're still afraid of offending the Second Prince?"

In the private room on the fifth floor, Shen Mian said loudly: "I'm sorry, Second Prince, I also like this top-grade elixir very much."

Fu Chengling clenched his fists. It’s this brat again!

Thinking about how he kept hitting a wall with him, Fu Chengling couldn't swallow this anger!

He said decisively: "Four thousand five hundred taels!"

Everyone only heard that voice slowly saying: "Five thousand taels."

Everyone sighed. It was already five thousand taels. In fact, there was no need to add more, not to mention that there were more bids to come.

Fu Chengling's face was distorted, he wanted to give up but was unwilling to do so. Then he heard the brat say: "Second Prince, don't be sad. There are still many top-grade elixirs. It's not worth it for a bottle of first-grade elixir. Isn't it just that the budget is not enough? You all understand~"

The naked sarcasm and straightforward provocation made everyone hold their breath, thinking that the Second Prince could not have failed to hear such obvious rhetoric.

As it turned out, whether Fu Chengling heard it or not, this tactic worked well on him.

Everyone only heard an angry voice: "Six thousand taels!"

"Okay! Six thousand taels once, six thousand taels twice, six thousand taels three times, deal!" Yun Ling said quickly and excitedly.

Everyone: Why didn’t you shout so fast just now?

The moment Fu Chengling shouted this, he felt a little regretful.

He had limited funds and this was only the first auction. Moreover, he only bought a bottle of first-grade elixir for six thousand taels!

No matter how good the quality is, it cannot change the fact that he spent six thousand taels to buy a first-level pill.

At this time, the voice from the fifth floor came again: "Oh, I didn't expect the Second Prince to be so generous. In fact, I just shouted casually for fun. It seems that the Second Prince is determined to get this elixir. I admit defeat."

These words were like a sharp sword that once again pierced Fu Chengling's heart.

Whatever! Have fun!

He gritted his teeth and decided that one day, he would cut this guy into pieces to vent his hatred!

In the private room on the fifth floor, three people watched Shen Mian teasing Fu Chengling with great interest.

"Like it so much?" Yan Liang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Shen Mian smiled and said: "I like teasing fools very much."

The second set of pills was already being auctioned outside. This time, Fu Chengling did not bid, and Shen Mian was too lazy to raise the price.

The other three seemed to be just there for the formality and showed no interest in the items being auctioned.

Luo Xu enthusiastically recounted interesting stories about his brothers, sisters, grandparents, and Qi Sui listened, expressing his opinions from time to time. Yan Liang seemed to be thinking about something and did not participate much in their conversation.

But there seemed to be a strange magnetic field between the three of them. Even though Yan Liang didn't say much, it made people naturally feel that these three were in the same group.

"Shen Yan, what about you?"

Shen Mian was in a daze when she suddenly heard Yan Liang calling her. She came back to her senses and subconsciously asked, "What?"

Luo Xu said casually: "We don't know you, we want to hear you talk about your own story."

"If you don't want to talk, then don't talk." Qi Sui added.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of," Shen Mian said indifferently, recounting his short life in his previous life, "I was an orphan since I was young, and was picked up and trained in stealing and cheating. I joined a large organization to work, but I couldn't get away with it. A group of stupid colleagues also trapped me for a useless list."

She really didn't understand what the use of the ranking was. In her opinion, those who racked their brains to climb up the list and try to squeeze her out of the first place were no different from fish washing themselves clean and waiting to be slaughtered.

Wouldn't it be nice to have the ability to hide, do average tasks, maintain your own value, increase your chances of survival, and then use the hard-earned money to enjoy yourself occasionally?

If she hadn't been placed with high hopes from the beginning and hadn't been able to survive if she didn't meet the requirements, she would rather not be on that shitty list.

"What happened next? How did you get away from that evil organization?" Yan Liang asked.

Shen Mian agreed with the name "black-hearted organization" and gave a brief answer: "Fight to the death."

She did fight desperately, and she did die in her previous life, but she also brought a group of people to be buried with her, so it was not a loss.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Qi Sui was the first to speak: "I have also been an orphan since childhood."

"I was raised by my master and his wife." Yan Liang followed closely.

"Well... I have parents, but they died when I was very young. However, my aunt treats me as her own son." Luo Xu scratched his head.

Shen Mian looked at the three of them and laughed: "So the four of us can't make up a pair of parents?"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

At this time, the six sets of first-level pills have been auctioned off, and the ones to be auctioned are second-level pills.

"Next is the second-grade top-grade elixir, the starting price is three thousand taels!"

"Six thousand taels." A steady voice spoke first before everyone else and raised the price by two times.

"Shit, who is it again?"

"Is it so great to be rich? If you have the guts, just ask for 10,000 taels!"

"Shh! That's Patriarch Shen!"

Those who had spoken out loudly before were the first to fall silent.

The four of them cheered up again and started the show!

"Six thousand five hundred taels." Shen Mian spoke first.

"Seven thousand taels." Shen Feng's tone remained unchanged.

Just as Shen Mian was about to add more, another voice came: "Eight thousand taels."

The voice came from a private room on the fourth floor. Inside the room, a man was sitting at a table sipping tea. It was he who spoke just now.

A pretty girl in a pink dress stood beside him and said, "Brother, why don't you tell us the name of our Danji Sect? If you tell us the name of this Longyuan Kingdom, who would dare to compete with us?"

"Don't worry," the man in green took a sip of tea, "I'll report it later if the budget is not enough."

"The elders gave us so much money, and you have to spend it all?"

"It's not our money, why do you feel bad about it?" The man glanced at her.

The girl gritted her teeth: "My father is the leader!"
