Hua Xiangyue didn’t lack crystals, but she only wanted to vent her anger, so she didn't want Shen Xiang to give her any.

“Little brat, you're really bad! Luckily, I'm not your enemy, otherwise you would be in trouble! By the way, there's a rule at the auction— you can't buy your own items. As the highest authority of the auction, I certainly won’t break any rules,” said Hua Xiangyue.

"This is simple! Let Fairy Meng'er do it, wouldn’t that solve the problem Is this considered breaking the rules" Shen Xiang said with a grin.

Hua Xiangyue’s eyes lit up and she said flirtatiously, “You really do have Fairy Liu Meng'er under your command!”

Shen Xiang stuck out his tongue and hurriedly left the Pill Fragrance Tower, returning to the divine weapon store. There was still more than a month before the auction began and Shen Xiang feared that he wouldn’t be prepared by then. He didn’t have enough Essence Crystal Pill to make the best use of them, so he decided to start making more Essence Crystal Pills now.

He had amassed large quantities of materials for making Essence Crystal Pill within the Azure Dragon Profound Realm. If he made five pills per batch, he could make over ten thousand pills based on his current rate. His pill-making speed was fast but it still wouldn’t be sufficient for the duration of time.

He started with ten batches per hour, four hours for pill-making and two hours for qi practice every day. He was able to make forty batches daily, producing 200 Essence Crystal Pills. Based on his estimation, he would probably be able to make around 5 thousand pills by the time of the auction.

He already had more than 8 thousand Essence Crystal Pills but he still felt that it was far from enough.

The tedious pill-making began. Shen Xiang had to endure it and close himself up for pill-making because he didn’t want any regrets in the large-scale gala auction. He decided to just endure it and make up for the disadvantage.

He was very tight on time, spending his days making pills and practicing qi at night while simultaneously extracting Dragon Scented Gold Essence. When he returned to the Tai Wu Sect, he would be able to make a large amount of valuable herbs ripe for harvesting.

Liu Meng'er returned. She saw a piece of paper on the table in the hall, which was left by Shen Xiang. He said that he had closed himself inside and let Liu Meng'er find Hua Xiangyue.

Shen Xiang was determined to focus entirely on pill-making without any distractions. While he might be able to borrow from Hua Xiangyue and Liu Meng'er later, he didn’t want his reputation to be stained with such a lowly act.

Time passed and the city of Perfume was full of activity as major sects sent their elites, noble families, and even demon clan disciples came here for the gala.

Pills were a crucial item that many cultivators relied on, so there was always an audience who came here to buy pills at lower prices and to witness the event.

Many sect leaders also secretly came for various reasons, such as buying pills or paying a visit to the Pill Fragrance Paradise as guests in support of their disciples participating in pill-making competitions.

Of course, most of them were here for the sake of bidding at the auction. The pill masters bought and sold, so there were items that could only be obtained by Heaven Transformation Realm cultivators. These items attracted a lot of attention.

Shen Xiang knew about these before starting to make his Essence Crystal Pills. He was determined for this auction and wasn’t afraid of being hassled by these women who would ask him for payment regularly since he was in debt.

As expected, before the auction began, he made 5 thousand and five hundred Essence Crystal Pills. Combined with his existing stash of pills, there were now over 14 thousand pills. However, he still felt that it wasn’t enough.

“Little brat, you’re really honest. You actually closed yourself up for a month just to make pills,” Liu Meng'er said in the hall while talking with Hua Xiangyue.

Upon coming out, Shen Xiang saw these two beauties. He didn’t expect that Hua Xiangyue often came here and was amazed at the close relationship between these two women.

The two women were wearing long dresses with white and pure colors, but they exuded different vibes. One was alluring while the other was dignified and graceful, their figures were similar in size, and Shen Xiang secretly admired them.

“You seem to be in a hurry, are you planning on doing something bad” Hua Xiangyue teased as she poured Shen Xiang a cup of fragrant tea.

Shen Xiang walked over and picked up the cup, then sat rudely in a chair with his legs crossed and said, "I'm going to make Essence Crystal Pills instead of you high-and-mighty people who have piles of crystals and pills at your fingertips without doing anything."

"You're going to have to work hard, you're attending the auction for your first time. With so little money, you'll only be able to spectate and watch the fun; you won’t even have enough to buy anything," Hua Xiangyue playfully scolded.

Liu Meng'er giggled, "Little brat, do you want sister to lend you some"

Hua Xiangyue added, "I can lend you some too."

Shen Xiang secretly scorned them but didn’t refuse immediately, "Not yet. Let’s talk about it when the auction begins."

If he didn’t have enough, Shen Xiang would still feel shameless for asking them directly. He was also aware that these two women wouldn’t bother him when he could only offer them shameless requests, since they had money to spare.

"I'm going to auction two items, preferably early on!" Shen Xiang said. He had a lot of good items but he didn’t want to sell them, which was known by Hua Xiangyue and Liu Meng'er.

Hua Xiangyue asked, "What’s it If you sell pills, I suggest you don’t. Your Spiritual Pill isn’t worth much unless it’s in great need,"

Millions of crystals were indeed considered pitiful for the bigwigs.

"I'm going to sell ten Foundation-Building Pills at once. The Fire Spirit Soul should also fetch a decent price at this auction," Shen Xiang said.

When Hua Xiangyue and Liu Meng'er heard the words "Fire Spirit Soul", they were both astonished.

Fire Spirit Soul and Fire Soul were different. A Fire Spirit Soul fused with a specific body part, like arms or legs, while the other was fused all over the body and soul.

The Fire Spirit Soul could release fire regardless of which true qi one used, and its strength varied based on a person’s true qi. The more robust the true qi, the stronger the flames.

Shen Xiang’s Fire Spirit Soul was obtained by killing Song Nanming, the crown prince. Although it was inferior to the Fire Soul, he could still fetch a large number of bidders at auction.

“Do you really have this” Liu Meng'er came over and said to Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang took out a small jade bottle and passed it to Liu Meng'er.

Liu Meng'er took a look and said in surprise, "You little devil, you have so many precious items. I’ve never seen Fire Spirit Souls before!"

Hua Xiangyue also took it and carefully inspected it. There was a hot object inside the small bottle, red-colored. This truly was Fire Spirit Soul that couldn’t be mistaken by any records or descriptions.

“Is it really true” Shen Xiang said proudly with a grin.

“Yes. Where did you get it” Hua Xiangyue closed the jar and put all ten Foundation-Building Pills inside. Although it was a rare item, she didn’t find much use for them herself and wouldn’t mind selling them anyway.

Liu Meng'er was also very curious, but Shen Xiang said with a smile, "I’m not telling you."

"Humph!"

Shen Xiang returned to his room and regretted making her tell him. Now, he knew that each sect’s elders were far wealthier than what he imagined. When he sold Foundation-Building Pills to Gu Dongchen last time, he had given him a good price but Gu Dongchen still tried bargaining. He even pretended to be poor before him.

He decided that he would extort all the rich disciples in his future.the way to the forbidden pit of heaven, instead."Liu Meng'er left" Gu Dongchen asked."You know she came" Schen Xiang thought Liu Meng'er was alone when he saw her enter."Of course I know, this is the...
