Lu Siyu naturally overheard the conversation between Xia Ruoxue and Ye Chen.

She had initially thought that the woman was like her, someone who was curious about Ye Chen’s identity.

However, it seemed that the two of them knew each other.

Moreover, the content of their conversation was so ambiguous that it was likely that they were a couple.

She finally understood why Ye Chen had been unmoved by her beauty.

What a joke! With such a peerless beauty by his side, how could he be attracted to someone like her?

For some reason, Lu Siyu felt a little angry and displeased. She stood up and left in a huff.

Seeing that Lu Siyu had left, Zhu Zixuan also felt that she should not sit around. She did not want to be the third wheel in this situation, so she pretended to leave for the toilet and disappeared afterward.

Only Xia Ruoxue and Ye Chen were left.

Xia Ruoxue stretched her body lazily, feeling a little bored. She asked Ye Chen, “Are you really planning to participate in the auction? How much money did you bring along this time?”

“90 million.” Ye Chen replied lightly.

His understanding of the value of money was rather limited, but he estimated that he would probably be able to buy quite a few things with this 90 million. It would be best if he could purchase a weapon in addition to the pill cauldron.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Xia Ruoxue, who had just taken a sip of water, almost choked. Her chest heaved up and down, which was quite a spectacular sight in itself.

She rolled her eyes at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, do you really not know or are you just pretending? Are you really serious about participating in this action with so little money? I really don’t know how you managed to get an invitation.”

“Is 90 million not enough?” Ye Chen asked in surprise.

Xia Ruoxue shook her head helplessly. At the same time, she took a long look at Ye Chen and soon realized that his expression did not seem faked. She said, “It seems like you’re really clueless. I guess I have to explain it all to you.”

“This auction is divided into two segments. The first segment will feature antiques, paintings, and other items which are targeted at ordinary people. The second segment features items related to martial arts. These could be cultivation manuals, pills, weapons, or perhaps even a pill cauldron. Any one of these items would cost at least a hundred million yuan!”

“Do you think you’ll be able to get anything from the second auction with just those tens of millions of yuan?”

Ye Chen’s head throbbed. According to Xia Ruoxue’s information, pill cauldrons were probably very valuable. He did not have enough money!

Was he going to rob them? No, he was not that kind of person.

He suddenly thought of something. He raised his head and grabbed Xia Ruoxue’s hand. “If that’s the case, can I place my own stuff up for auction?”

Xia Ruoxue was stunned. She glanced at the offending hand and tried to pull hers away, but soon found that she could not break free, so she gave up.

Naturally, she had guessed what Ye Chen wanted to auction off. It was none other than that pill formula.

The pill formula was definitely a priceless treasure to cosmetic companies, but if it were to be put up for auction here, it would probably only be worth tens of millions.

More importantly, there might not even be a buyer here. After all, those who participated in the second auction were all ancient martial artists.

Still, she did not want to dampen Ye Chen’s enthusiasm, so she said, “Of course you can. There are many people like you. There should be a temporary auction appraisal center set up upstairs. You can try your luck with that pill formula, but the other party might not be…”

Before Xia Ruoxue could finish her sentence, Ye Chen left.

Xia Ruoxue shook her head helplessly as she observed Ye Chen’s anxious behavior. “Ye Chen, Ye Chen, you’re probably going to be disappointed. I offered a high price for that pill formula back then because the company really needed it. However, to these ancient martial art practitioners, such a formula is not worth mentioning at all. Sigh…”

Of course, Ye Chen was not actually going to auction off that pill formula! He was going to auction off an actual pill!

Judging by Ying Qing’s reaction that day, there probably were very few alchemists in River City or perhaps even in Huaxia itself!

The rarer something was, the more valuable it would be! The medicinal pill had to be very valuable.

After some time, Ye Chen finally located and arrived at the auction appraisal center that Xia Ruoxue had mentioned.

There were not many people inside, just one woman in her forties and three old men.

What was even more surprising was that the four of them were actually playing mahjong.

“Haha, I won! Pay up, pay up!”

“My luck today is really f*cking good!”

“10 million each, not a single cent less. Transfer the money via mobile…”

An old man was shouting excitedly. The other three were obviously unhappy, but they still transferred the money obediently.

The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth twitched slightly. These mahjong bets were really extravagant, ten million for a single win…

He saw that the four of them were about to start another game, so he quickly knocked on the door.

Soon, four pairs of eyes fell on Ye Chen.

“Little brother, what are you doing here? Are you here to get something appraised for the auction?” The woman asked.

Ye Chen nodded and walked in. He did not beat around the bush and took out a medicinal pill from his pocket. “Can this be put up for auction?”

The woman glanced at the pill in Ye Chen’s hand and snorted. “What the hell is that? Are you trying to fool this old lady with a piece of candy? Get lost!”

Ye Chen’s face was filled with anger. Just as he was about to flare up, the old man who had just won suddenly noticed the medicinal pill in Ye Chen’s hand. He pushed his tiles over and ran over in a hurry, even pushing the woman away! The woman almost fell to the ground.

“Old man Wu, what are you doing?”

Old man Wu looked at the medicinal pill in Ye Chen’s hand and his breathing quickened. He rubbed his hands together and said, “Little brother, can I take a look at this?”

Ye Chen nodded and handed it over.

Old man Wu took the pill and sniffed it. His expression changed. He took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and examined the pill carefully.

The rest of them felt that there was something amiss and also came over.

Suddenly, old man Wu cried out in shock. His body trembled as he said, “Pill patterns, these are pill patterns! It’s a real medicinal pill!”

When the others heard the words ‘pill patterns’ they were stunned and quickly rushed over.

“Old man Wu, let me see that!”

“This… This is really a medicinal pill?”

“Oh my god, although the shape of this pill is ordinary, the pattern lines are clear and the medicinal fragrance is strong… Was this recently refined?”

“Could it be that an alchemist has appeared?”

“Si si si…”

Everyone gasped and looked at Ye Chen. They said excitedly, “Little brother, where did you get this from? Hurry up! Quickly tell us!”

Ye Chen’s expression was strange as he looked at their old, flushed faces.

Were there no alchemists here? Not a single one? contemporary romance

Could it be that he was the only remaining alchemist in Huaxia?
