The originally grumpy old man, upon seeing Baili Hongzhuang, had a glimpse of astonishment in his eyes. He touched his chin's few strands of beard and said, "Such a beautiful girl."
"But, you've disturbed my sleep, isn't that too impolite!"
Baili Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows, a hint of cunning in her eyes. From the old man's expression, she could already tell that he wasn't actually angry.
"Elder, it doesn't seem appropriate to sleep during work hours, does it?"
The old man's face changed, "Ahem, I was just closing my eyes. Who said I was sleeping?"
"But you clearly just said I disturbed your sleep?"
The old man looked around and directly ignored what Baili Hongzhuang said, "Girl, what do you want to consign? Show it to me, but I'm afraid it won't make it in time for today's auction!"
Upon hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang took out a white porcelain bottle from her Qiankun Bag and placed it in front of the old man.
The old man looked at the white porcelain bottle, and a spark of interest instantly surged in his eyes. Usually, only elixirs were stored in this white porcelain bottle!
As he took the white porcelain bottle and opened it, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the air.
"This is... the Cleansing Bone Pill?" A look of shock appeared on the old man's face.
The Cleansing Bone Pill was a second-grade elixir with the effect of purifying the meridians and marrow.
Everyone's body was filled with impurities, and the Cleansing Bone Pill could expel these impurities, making it easier to cultivate elemental power and accelerate cultivation speed.
Although the Cleansing Bone Pill's elixir grade was not high, there was only one alchemist in the entire Fengbo Kingdom who knew the prescription!
Because of this, the Cleansing Bone Pill was rarely seen on ordinary days!
It was the reward for becoming the second-place winner in the Royal Hunting Competition, making countless cultivators jealous.
Never did they expect that this young girl in front of them would take out three Cleansing Bone Pills at once?
He hardly needed to think; as long as he brought these Cleansing Bone Pills to the auction, they would undoubtedly become the highlight!
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, "Elder, you have a good eye!"
Upon hearing Baili Hongzhuang's reply, the old man's gaze toward her changed. Alchemists were a special existence in the Holy Profound Continent.
If Baili Hongzhuang could produce elixirs, it meant that there must be an alchemist behind her. And if she could produce three Cleansing Bone Pills, it meant that there was a powerful alchemist behind her!
Just based on this, Baili Hongzhuang's status in the old man's heart suddenly rose.
Someone like her should be befriended!
"Young girl, how should I address you?" the old man inquired.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled, "I am Baili Hongzhuang."
Upon hearing Baili Hongzhuang's name, the old man's expression paused. So this young girl in front of him was the recently famous Baili Hongzhuang!
"It turns out to be the Crown Prince's Consort," the old man chuckled. "I am Su Hongyuan. You can call me Old Su."
"Old Su," Baili Hongzhuang clasped her hands in a gesture of respect, "I wonder if these Cleansing Bone Pills can make it to this auction?"
Su Hongyuan nodded, "Naturally, they can make it. Three Cleansing Bone Pills are enough to be the highlight of this auction."
"Crown Prince's Consort, rest assured. I guarantee that they will fetch a high price! I, Old Su, will waive the auction fees for this."
A hint of surprise crossed Baili Hongzhuang's clear and bright eyes, and she quickly waved her hand, "That won't do. The fees must be paid."
Su Hongyuan shook his head and smiled, "The inclusion of these three Cleansing Bone Pills is enough to elevate Tianxiang Auction House's auction to a higher level. It will attract more people to participate. Just based on that, it surpasses the processing fee by far."
"No matter what, I won't accept the processing fee."
