Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 973 - 983: Lending a Small Hand

"Oh, isn't this Master Chu? I thought someone as wealthy as you wouldn't bother settling the remaining spirit stones!" Manager Ye seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness that occurred with Chu Feng at the auction.

After realizing it was Chu Feng and Li Shishi, she immediately set aside her work and greeted them with a smile.

"Miss Ye Wu, you're joking. Two million spirit stones might be a small amount to you, but to me, it's my entire fortune," Chu Feng's words were humble, yet they held the truth.

Because he had already spent all his spirit stones.

If not for obtaining one million spirit stones from Master Wei's storage ring, he would truly be penniless.

Manager Ye had a sharp tongue, and Chu Feng was not prepared for a lengthy conversation with her. He took out the consignment agreement. "If there's no issue, please settle the remaining spirit stones, Miss Ye Wu."

Ye Wu accepted the consignment agreement, carefully examined it, then smiled, saying, "The consignment agreement is fine; I'll settle it for Master Chu immediately. Please have a seat, both of you!" After inviting them to sit, she began settling the payment for Chu Feng.

"Master Chu bid on the Soul Loss Sand, paying one million three hundred one thousand spirits, owing seventy thousand spirits. Your Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill sold for three million spirits, deducting a ten percent commission, that's three hundred thousand spirits. Altogether, the auction needs to pay you two million spirits, correct?"

All accounts were accurately calculated.

"Correct!" Chu Feng nodded in confirmation.

"Here are two million spirits, please keep them safely!" With that, Ye Wu gestured to a male subordinate, who took two million spirits from a storage ring and placed them before Chu Feng.

The vast amount of spirit stones left Li Shishi astounded.

Her master's ability to earn money was unrivaled.

Casually refining a Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill had sold for an astronomical three million spirits. Selling just a few more pills could lead to a lifetime of wealth.

"I didn't expect Master Chu, at such a young age, to be able to refine such high-level elixirs! Ye Wu is truly impressed," Ye Wu praised with a smile.

"Oh, Miss Ye Wu, you're flattering me. How can you be sure that the Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill was refined by me? Perhaps it was refined by one of my elders," Chu Feng replied while storing the spirit stones in his storage ring.

Simultaneously, he engaged in small talk with Ye Wu.

Manager Ye held a significant position at the Penglai Auction.

Not only a gold medal auctioneer, she managed transactions, membership cards, and held real power in her hands.

Maintaining good relations with such a figure was essential.

Future dealings at the Penglai Auction, whether buying or selling, could become much easier.

At crucial moments, he could also inquire about any internal news.

Chu Feng believed that the Penglai Auction must be privy to a vast amount of high-level intelligence.

"An elder refined it?" Ye Wu showed a sarcastic expression. "Chu Feng, the Eternal Life Pill Master of Dan State, who currently operates two Longevity Hall Elixir Medicine Shops, one in Baihu City and the other in Vermilion Bird City, both have excellent reputations. When you established the Great Chu Empire and battled experts of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, you used Eighth and Ninth Grade Talismanic Elixirs several times..."

"Master Chu, do you need me to continue?"

The intelligence Ye Wu possessed was incredibly detailed.

It seemed she even had a grasp on Chu Feng's ancestors.

"You've been investigating me? Is the person watching outside the Baihu City Longevity Hall these days also from your Penglai Auction?"

Chu Feng couldn't help but remember the enemy secretly watching Longevity Hall.

Never making a move, never revealing themselves, just observing silently.

At that time, Chu Feng wondered who it could be.

Now it seemed, it might very well be the work of the Penglai Auction.

"Understanding the situation and background of every member is our Penglai Auction's duty. Only by doing this can we ensure the authenticity of each member and maintain the high value of every membership card issued."

Ye Wu admitted frankly.

"As for sending someone to monitor Longevity Hall's every move, Master Chu, you're being a bit arrogant. Not that you're still just an intermediate member, but even if you rise to an advanced-level member, you wouldn't qualify for Penglai Auction's surveillance. Perhaps some super members could enjoy such treatment."

Her words were a clear slap in the face to Chu Feng.

It was likely also an act of revenge against Chu Feng.

Women, after all, can be petty. Last time at the auction, Chu Feng put Ye Wu in an awkward position.

It's likely she still harbored resentment.

Chu Feng observed quietly, realizing she didn't seem to be lying.

It appeared the watcher was someone else.

With Penglai Auction ruled out, Panlong Heavenly Emperor and Undying Tomb could also be dismissed.

If it really were Panlong Heavenly Emperor and company, they would have made a move long ago, not hiding in the shadows for nearly a month.

"Miss Ye Wu, with your vast knowledge and wide experience, may I inquire about something?" Chu Feng asked with a smile. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"That depends on what you wish to know. If it's something I know and doesn't violate Penglai Auction's rules, naturally I can tell you." Ye Wu looked at Chu Feng with a peculiar expression.

Chu Feng felt as though she were looking at a piece of 'meat.'

This woman was craftier than a fox, asking her for help was likely to come at a considerable cost.

Fortunately, the two million spirit stones had been settled, so Chu Feng wasn't worried.

"To be honest, a friend of mine was injured by accident, missing the essence among the Seven Spirits. Although I've replaced it using Blood Ginseng, it has some side effects I don't know how to eliminate. Do you know any solutions?"

Chu Feng looked at Ye Wu with genuine sincerity for once.

If she could truly help solve this issue, Chu Feng was willing to pay a reasonable consultation fee.

"I've heard Master Chu is quite the romantic, and the rumors are true. For this little Sword Slave, you're willing to clash with Shennong Mountain. To save a beauty, you went to great lengths to find Blood Ginseng..."

Ye Wu's gaze at Chu Feng held a particular warmth.

A devoted man always stirs a woman's heart.

At the very least, they would have a favorable impression.

"Alright, I won't expose your secrets! Using Blood Ginseng to replace essence isn't exclusive to you. It was a method devised by ancient Fengshui Masters. As for negating its side effects, even if I tell you, it would be of no use. Because you simply can't achieve it."

Ye Wu looked at Chu Feng with a pitying expression.

"Don't worry about whether I can achieve it, just tell me." Chu Feng rejoiced upon hearing her words.

Chang'e was Chu Feng's beloved through two lifetimes.

Especially after their misunderstandings were resolved, Chu Feng loved her more deeply and cherished her even more.

"I can tell you, but you need to agree to help me with a small task." Ye Wu's eyes gleamed as she made her request.

"It's only right to help each other. What would you like me to do?"

Chu Feng thought it best to clarify.
