Rong Yuan was at a loss as he did not know how to answer Yuan Zheng’s question.

Gu Lingzhi, who had returned to her inn was completely unconcerned. She was in the midst of creating a Spirit Moulding Pill with four attributes.

Although the Spirit Moulding Pill was only a middle grade Yellow-Level Spiritual Medicine, the difficulty in making it increased with the number of attributes it had. The greater the number of attributes it had, the more valuable it was.

The most basic Spirit Moulding Pill had either one or two attributes and was a middle grade Yellow-Level Spiritual Medicine. When it had three attributes, it can then be considered a high grade Yellow-Level Spiritual Medicine. Now, Gu Lingzhi was about to make a Spirit Moulding Pill with four attributes for Martial Students, which could be considered a low grade Black-Level Spiritual Medicine.

Along with the difficulty in creating a Spirit Moulding Pill with four attributes, the number of people that possessed four Spiritual Roots were also very rare. Therefore, not many people created them for fear that there would be no demand for it.

Thinking about this, Gu Lingzhi decided to create a few more Spirit Moulding Pills with four attributes before the auction.

Even if she was not able to sell it then, she could try selling it at the Store of Many Treasures.

After spending an entire afternoon, Gu Lingzhi managed to create five Spirit Moulding Pills with different combinations of four spiritual attributes. In this way, no matter which four spiritual roots anyone had, they would be able to obtain one Spirit Moulding Pill. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

Satisfied, Gu Lingzhi stored the Spirit Moulding pill in medicine bottles and placed it in her Storage Ring. She then exited the Inheritance space and headed towards the Store of Many Treasures.

The auction was on the sixth floor of the Store, and Gu Lingzhi first registered her Spirit Moulding Pills on list of items to sell on the auction. Carrying a small plate, she was about to enter the auction but was unsurprisingly stopped by Rong Yuan who had waited for her for an entire afternoon. He dragged her into a private room.

“Third Prince, what a coincidence...” Gu Lingzhi laughed dryly. She did not know why but as she saw aggrieved look on Rong Yuan’s face, she suddenly felt slightly guilty.

“It’s not a coincidence,” Rong Yuan said sternly, “I waited a whole afternoon for you.”

“Haha, oh really?” Gu Lingzhi did not know what to say. She was slightly troubled and wondered what was wrong with the Third Prince. When her identity was Gu Lingzhi, the way he was acting could be explained by his interest in her abilities. However, now that she had taken the identity of the Black Thorn, it couldn’t be that Rong Yuan had seen her potential just by watching her compete a few times and wanted to recruit her right?

Rong Yuan pursed his lips as he disliked the half-heartedness in Gu Lingzhi’s tone when she answered him. She made it seem like every moment that she spent with him was torturous.

“I remember making a pact with you to attend the auction together, have you forgotten about it?”

Of course... she had forgotten.

But of course, Gu Lingzhi did not dare to admit it outright and could only pretend to joke around, “You really have a good memory, I thought you said it for fun.”

Rong Yuan gave her a side-eye and said, “Am I such an easy person? As long as I have said it, I mean it.”

“Yes, whatever Your Highness says holds enormous weight, you wouldn’t say anything casually,” Gu Lingzhi replied agreeing politely.

Rong Yuan was speechless. There was no way to continue this conversation!

Luckily, Yuan Zheng was quick-witted and could pick up that his master was having trouble dealing with Gu Lingzhi. He took the initiative to start a new topic, “I heard that there are quite a few rare and precious artifacts prepared for the auction today. There are also some high-level demon beasts’ eggs available. I wonder if Xiao Hei...Lady Black Thorn is interested in anything?”

Did she look like she lacked spirit stones so much?

“Thank you for your kind offer.”

Rong Yuan broke into a dashing smile, “You’re welcome, it is nothing.”

The two of them exchanged a few polite words causing Yuan Zheng to frown as he worried about the way the two of them interacted. A bell suddenly sounded from the auction stage and the auction began.

Gu Lingzhi breathed a sigh of relief as she was having trouble continuing the conversation with Rong Yuan. She quickly turned her attention to the auction stage,leaving Rong Yuan behind.

Was it so difficult to talk to him?

Rong Yuan’s expression became more attentive as he assessed Gu Lingzhi, wondering why she did not seem to like him.

He was a smart guy and had hesitated when he realised his interest in Gu Lingzhi. In addition, with what Yuan Zheng pointed out, how could he not know what he felt towards her?

Since he liked her, he should dote on her! What did it matter that she was not acknowledging his affection now? Sooner or later, she would not be able to take her eyes off him!

With a wilful smile, Rong Yuan’s expression deepened the next time he looked at Gu Lingzhi.

“Did you want this Qianyang Essence?” Rong Yuan smiled as he pointed to the item that was currently on the auction table, raising his defined and elegant eyebrows.

“No,” Gu Lingzhi shook her head.

The Qianyang Essence was a material that was used to make Earth-Level weapons and she had no use for it.

“Oh, then have you seen anything else that you’re interested in?”

Gu Lingzhi shook her head once again and could not help but wonder if the Third Prince had some collaboration with the Store of Many Treasures due to the number of questions he was asking. If not, why was he so concerned about the business of the store? f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

Not knowing that his good intentions were being misunderstood by Gu Lingzhi, Rong Yuan continued to ask Gu Lingzhi if she had seen anything that she was interested in.

It was not that he did not want to talk about other things, it was just that anything he said to her did not last more than a few sentences. Hence, he had no choice but to use this method to try to talk to her.
