Master Is Busy Contemplating the Great Tao, Show Respect

"The auction continues. The second item is related to women as well, it's a Beauty-Enhancing Pill!"

However, when they heard about the Beauty-Enhancing Pill, the auction hall was filled with whispers.

"Master, they don't seem too satisfied, do they? Is the Beauty-Enhancing Pill not as good as that box of rouge?" Qin Yue'er asked in confusion.

"It's not that, quite the opposite," Wang Zhong explained. "Rouge is just makeup, while the Beauty-Enhancing Pill can actually transform one's appearance."

"That powerful?" Qin Yue'er was greatly surprised, but she was even more puzzled.

"If the Beauty-Enhancing Pill is so effective, why are they reacting like that?"

"Because this Beauty-Enhancing Pill is an Earthly-Stage elixir pill!" Wang Zhong replied.

"An Earthly-Stage elixir pill?" Qin Yue'er widened her eyes in amazement.

Medicinal pills, like immortal treasures, are also divided into stages: Heavenly, Earthly, Black and Yellow. However, compared to immortal treasures of the same stage, Earthly-Stage medicinal pills are much rarer.

It was her first time seeing an Earthly-Stage medicinal pill being auctioned.

"Aren't Earthly-Stage medicinal pills very valuable?" Qin Yue'er was even more puzzled.

"The reason lies here," Wang Zhong patiently explained, "If it's just for beauty, would you be willing to spend millions of spirit stones? It's better to buy pills that can enhance your cultivation!"

Right! Earthly-Stage medicinal pills were of high grade, so this Beauty-Enhancing Pill must had a hefty price tag. But how many people would be willing to pay for something they didn't need? Unless another Liu Yibai appeared.

"Master, how do you know so much? You're really amazing!" Qin Yue'er admired.

"Don't forget, your second senior sister is an alchemist," Wang Zhong replied.

"Yes, Master mentioned it," Qin Yue'er nodded.

"So, can second senior sister refine Earthly-Stage medicinal pills?"

"No. Currently, she can only refine Black-Stage ones." Wang Zhong answered.

A Black-Stage alchemist! That's already very impressive!

Qin Yue'er exclaimed, feeling quite envious.

"If only I could learn alchemy, I could earn so much money."

"If you wanna learn, you can ask your second senior sister later. Borrow her 'Complete Collection of Home-cooked Recipes' and see if you have the aptitude to learn." Wang Zhong suggested.

Huh?

Is this how she learn alchemy?

In the next moment, Qin Yue'er was stunned. Because she remembered that second senior sister's 'Complete Collection of Home-cooked Recipes' was also given by Wang Zhong.

So, did second senior sister's alchemy skills actually come from Master's teachings? Second senior sister is a Black-Stage alchemist! Then, does that mean Master surpasses even Black-Stage? Earthly-Stage? Heavenly-Stage? Or even more powerful?

Qin Yue'er dared not delve further into her thoughts.

Because the possibility was not nonexistent.

After all, her master was the legendary figure who could compose works like the "Chinese Almanac" and has lived to the present day—a literary masterpiece according to her father.

However, her master had never practiced alchemy. The most time spent was engrossed in reading the "Pornhub Newbie."

Yet, Qin Yue'er quickly grasped the situation.

Her master was busy comprehending the Great Tao, with no idle time for alchemy!

Alternatively, her master's alchemical prowess might have reached a formidable level, rendering further cultivation unnecessary.

As Qin Yue'er had never witnessed her master practicing astrology...

"One million! I'll take this pill!"

A voice interrupted Qin Yue'er's wandering thoughts. It was Liu Yibai's voice. "Master, there really are fools!" Qin Yue'er muttered quietly.

"Ahem!" Wang Zhong had originally wanted to nod, but he thought about how he had wanted to spent millions of spirit stones for a box of rouge earlier. He felt that Qin Yue'er's words were a bit too much, so he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

However, it wasn't just Liu Yibai who made a bid. "Five million!" The voice came from the back, from the black-robed man.

Hiss!

All the cultivators present were shocked. "Master, another fool!" Qin Yue'er muttered again.

"Ahem! It's enough that you know, don't say it out loud," Wang Zhong always felt that Qin Yue'er's words were a bit too insinuating. However, in Liu Yibai's eyes, the black-robed man was provoking him.

"Didn't you hear? This Beauty-Enhancing Pill is one million, and I'm taking it. Are you deaf?"

"Five million!" The black-robed man didn't back down.

"You're putting yourself in death!" Liu Yibai was furious. The world had truly changed! How could anyone random dare to provoke him!

Liu Yibai extended a surge of pure spiritual power, directly grabbing the black-robed man's throat and lifting him from the ground. At this moment, everyone present realized that the black-robed man was only half the height of an average person.

He was a dwarf.

At the same time, everyone was shocked by Liu Yibai's aptitude.

Fifth stage of True Essence!

"You reckless fool, Get out!"

With his goal achieved, Liu Yibai waved his hand and threw the black-robed man to the ground.

The latter scurried away, causing a burst of laughter.

A coward!

In the end, Liu Yibai successfully bid for the Beauty-Enhancing Pill.

The following items were much the same, turning into a showcase for Liu Yibai. The auction came to an end. After swiftly conducting transactions backstage, Liu Yibai came to Qin Yue'er.

"Miss Yue'er, let's go back! Whatever treasures you need, I'll personally deliver them to you." Liu Yibai smiled, already imagining a romantic night.

"You're not leaving today!" A stern voice sounded at the entrance. Then, several dark figures appeared, with the black-robed dwarf in the center.

Is revenge coming?

Liu Yibai didn't take it seriously, even though the other party's momentum was stronger. "What can you do to me?"

Bang!

The response to Liu Yibai was a punch. third stage of Cave Mansion! Wang Zhong found it somewhat interesting. "Do you dare to hurt me?" Liu Yibai said angrily.

Bang!

Another punch!

"Do you know that I come from the Starry Pavilion?"

Bang!

"I am a direct disciple of the current Starry Pavilion Master, Shen Wen!"

Bang!

Liu Yibai was beaten to a sorry state.

Liu Yibai was confused.

How come the people of Qingzhou Prefecture aren't afraid of the Starry Pavilion? They're all a bunch of country bumpkins!

On the side, the Qin family's elder had been watching the newcomer attentively. Finally, he mustered up the courage to speak: "Greetings to the Junior Sect Master of the Mountain Moving Sect, and the several elders!"

"Hehe! Quite perceptive!" Several figures in black robes removed their robes. The one who spoke was the third elder of the Mountain Moving Sect. There were also the fifth, seventh, and ninth elders of the sect. Of course, the most eye-catching figure was the Junior Sect Master.

This person was about one meter tall, with a peculiar appearance, extremely ugly, almost inhuman, more like a toad than a person.

"Ugh!" Seeing the Junior Sect Master of the Mountain Moving Sect, Qin Yue'er nearly vomited. This was the person they wanted her to marry? Qin Yue'er would rather die.

"Don't worry! Everything will be fine," Wang Zhong reassured her.

“Okay," Qin Yue'er nodded, no longer afraid.

"Gentlemen, Master Liu is an honored guest of our Qin family. If anything goes wrong, our family cannot bear the responsibility. Please spare him," the elder of the Qin family spoke up.

"What does it has anything to do with us?" sneered the third elder of the Mountain Moving Sect.

"You can't put it that way. After all, aren't the Mountain Moving Sect and the Qin family about to form an alliance? We're considered one family," the elder of the Qin family said, forcing a smile.

"Even if we form an alliance, your Qin family is nothing more than a vassal of the Mountain Moving Sect," the third elder of the Mountain Moving Sect scoffed.

At this moment, the Junior Sect Master of the Mountain Moving Sect whispered something to him, and he, turned his gaze to Qin Yue'er, "however, what you said is not entirely unreasonable. Since that's the case, let's make the best of a bad situation! Today, leave all your auctioned items, as well as Qin Yue'er. Then you can leave."

In addition, they also selected several beautiful female cultivators. Seeing the lecherous look on the face of the Junior Sect Master of the Mountain Moving Sect and his licking lips, those young women certainly understanding why they were being kept.

Some of them were so frightened that they fainted on the spot.

"Isn't this a bit hasty?" The elder of the Qin family spoke again, "My Qin family is, after all, a prestigious clan. This behavior will bring shame to the Qin family. Please, Junior Sect Master, give us a few more days. This way, both parties will conserve dignity."

"Hurry up and get out! Otherwise, none of you will leave." The third elder of the Mountain Moving Sect was very overbearing.

The elder of the Qin family was so scared he dared not speak again. He silently walked towards Liu Yibai. If he continued to speak, he was afraid both he and Liu Yibai would die here. There was no choice but to abandon Qin Yue'er.

"Consider showing me some respect. How about letting her leave?"

At this moment, another voice spoke untimely.
