The starting price is ten medium-grade Spirit Stones.”
The auctioneer began auctioning Pills again.
“100 medium-grade Spirit Stones,”
Bids were being called out, one higher than the next.
Lai Jianlin and Luo Yaxuan sat steadily; they had family Alchemists.
For scions like them from such families, there was no need to buy Fortifying Golden Pills – their Storage Bags already contained such pills.
Mo Wen exhaled a breath of foul air, not expecting such pills to be so expensive.
The Storage Bag that Lai Jianlin had given him also contained a bottle of the Fortifying Golden Pill, with two pills inside.
He actually possessed such precious pills.
Realizing the lofty price, he couldn’t help but glance at Lai Jianlin, finding his junior brother to be extremely generous.
After watching for a while, the Fortifying Golden Pill was sold for 500 medium-grade Spirit Stones.
Let’s check out other places.” Luo Yaxuan had no interest in watching further; slipping out stealthily, he had other matters to attend to—wanting to visit his family’s shop.
Lai Jianlin agreed, finding it inconvenient to stay too long with two Foreign Country women by his side.
As they left the auction venue, others followed them out.
Earls and Viscounts tracked them and stopped them on a street where there weren’t as many people.
The Earls and Viscounts exited the bidding venue and saw several young men who had purchased their kinspeople.
They practiced different Cultivation Techniques, and it was evident they were from the Cultivation World.
Feeling that they weren’t bad people, there might be room for negotiation, to spare their kin from harm.
Sun Zi’an thought these people were looking for trouble and, upon seeing their features clearly, noted they resembled the two women accompanying them, as if they were of the same kind.
“Honored sir, we mean no harm.
We only ask that you ensure our two compatriots here are well cared for.”
The Earls and Viscounts stood together, their attire making them appear no different from ordinary people, seemingly mundane.
However, their features clearly marked them as people from a Foreign Country.
“Oh, you’re concerned about them?
You’re of the same kin, so why do you speak the Ancient Xia Country language so fluently?
And how were they captured?”
Lai Jianlin spoke up, inquiring; they had already sensed being followed and had come to this more secluded street to confront their pursuers.
“We have lived in seclusion in this country for over a thousand years and do not know how they were captured.
The Earl explained on behalf of the group, and the Viscounts nodded in agreement.
The two women also shook their heads and said:
“Master, we were captured in our own country.
They appear to be our kin, but we do not recognize them.”
“Allow me to introduce myself; I am an Earl, and they are Viscounts.”
The Earl introduced himself to the group.
Are you really an Earl?
Could it be that you are our kin, descendants of a brother from our ancestors who disappeared over a thousand years ago with another Magic Staff from our clan?”
The female slave looked at the Earls and Viscounts excitedly.
“Yes…” The Earl didn’t say much, but since the two female slaves knew, their kinship was confirmed.
“Earls, Viscounts, our ancestors have been searching for your branch for many years.
We never expected to meet you sisters here.
However, we are now in a state of slavery, unable to bring the news back to our clan.”
