Chapter 128: Chapter 127 Establishing an Auction House (Part 1)

Yan Rufeng held Niuniu and walked outside the main hall, followed by the crowd. When Yan Rufeng brought out the Cosmic Battleship, Li Xiaofei asked in confusion, "Sect Master, what do you mean by this?"

Yan Rufeng smiled lightly, "Xiaofei, this Cosmic Battleship is now given to your Alchemy Hall."

"Given to our Alchemy Hall?" Li Xiaofei asked in disbelief.

The Cosmic Battleship, such a super flying transport tool, the technology of which is controlled by Professor Zhou, is naturally only producible by the state.

The ordinary Cosmic Battleship sold by the state was priced at 100 top-grade Spirit Stones per ship.

Currently, ordinary sects and individuals could not afford it. As for the Cosmic Battleships in the sky, they were mostly state-owned. Li Xiaofei did not expect Yan Rufeng to give him one and was very surprised.

"I always mean what I say!" Yan Rufeng replied.

"Sect Master, you are too kind to our Alchemy Hall!" Li Xiaofei exclaimed excitedly.

Yan Rufeng wiped off the Divine Sense on the Cosmic Battleship and then said, "Xiaofei, this Cosmic Battleship now belongs to your Alchemy Hall. Take the disciples from the Alchemy Hall to the depths of the Kunlun Mountain to catch demon beasts and gather Spiritual Medicine."

"Uh..."

Li Xiaofei instantly felt deflated. He did not expect that Yan Rufeng gave them the Cosmic Battleship to put them to work.

Li Xiaofei said lifelessly, "Okay, I’ll go to the Alchemy Hall to gather the disciples now."

"Wait!"

Yan Rufeng stopped Li Xiaofei.

"Grandmaster Yan, what other orders do you have?" Li Xiaofei asked weakly.

Yan Rufeng said, "Xiaofei, this time when you go to Kunlun to gather Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine, collect only two of each type, and catch one male and one female demon beast. Remember, they must all be alive."

Li Xiaofei thought Yan Rufeng needed a lot of Spiritual Medicine and demon beasts but did not expect Yan Rufeng to require so few.

Li Xiaofei laughed, "Rufeng, with the Cosmic Battleship, I, Li Xiaofei, promise to complete the task within two days."

Yan Rufeng laughed, "How can you accomplish it without a Space Ring to store live creatures?"

"Oh, true." Li Xiaofei laughed suddenly.

"Here are a few Space Rings for storing live creatures. Take them." Yan Rufeng said.

"Hehe!"

Li Xiaofei laughed, "I didn’t expect to get a few Space Rings for storing live creatures just by catching demon beasts. This is too surprising!"

Li Xiaofei cheerfully accepted the Storage Rings, stored the Cosmic Battleship, and hummed a tune as he walked toward the Alchemy Hall.

Xiaxia stepped forward and cupped her hands, "Sect Master, Xiaxia also wants to do something for the sect."

Yan Rufeng’s lips curved into a smile, "Xiaxia, there happens to be something for you and Liu Ping’er to do."

"Brother Rufeng, what is it?" Liu Ping’er walked over and asked.

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "Now, issue a public announcement saying that the Ziya Company will no longer provide Beauty Water."

"What?"

Liu Ping’er exclaimed.

"No way, I don’t agree." Liu Ping’er firmly refused.

"Haha..."

Yan Rufeng laughed, "Elder Liu, why don’t you agree?"

Liu Ping’er said with a sour face, "Grandmaster Yan, our entire sect relies on Beauty Water to sustain itself. You say we won’t provide it anymore. How will our sect’s tens of thousands of people survive then?"

"Hehe..."

Yan Rufeng laughed and said, "Elder Liu, do you know what Beauty Water is made of?"

"Youthful Pill!" Liu Ping’er said disdainfully.

"Good that you know."

Suddenly, Liu Ping’er was startled and asked, "Brother Rufeng, do you intend to sell Youthful Pills directly?"

"That’s right. We have now entered the era of universal cultivation. The effects of Beauty Water are no longer very tempting to cultivators. Only the Youthful Pill can attract their purchasing desire now."

Liu Ping’er smiled, "Brother Rufeng, when do you plan to launch the Youthful Pill?"

Yan Rufeng replied, "I don’t plan to sell them widely."

"Then..."

Yan Rufeng clasped one hand behind his back, his eyes shining, "Currently, many people have some Spirit Stones in their hands. It’s time to establish an auction house."

"How much can an auction sell in a day?" Liu Ping’er said disdainfully.

"You don’t understand." Yan Rufeng smiled.

"Humph..."

Liu Ping’er snorted, "What do I not understand, that’s true."

"Elder Liu, if we set up a trade guild next to the auction house when we establish it?" Yan Rufeng asked with a smile.

"What, establish a trade guild?" Liu Ping’er said in surprise.

Xiaxia seemed to understand. She smiled, "Sister Ping’er, imagine this: if our Youthful Pills are auctioned, it will attract people to buy them, and the profits will be much higher than selling them elsewhere."

After thinking it over, Liu Ping’er brightened up and laughed, "By then, we can also sell Youthful Pills at the trade guild. Naturally, other items sold by our trade guild will also fetch better prices. It’s a win-win situation."

"Haha..."

Yan Rufeng laughed, "Since you understand, why are you not going to do it?"

Liu Ping’er smiled, "Brother Rufeng, Xiaxia and I will handle it right away..."

Holding Niuniu, Yan Rufeng then said to the others, "Don’t worry about the sect’s affairs, just focus on your cultivation."

"Understood..."

After everyone left, Yan Rufeng held Niuniu’s hand and walked towards the inner courtyard of the sect...

In the pavilion of the inner courtyard, Mu Ru was patiently teaching Yan Jingjing the methods of cultivation.

"Mom, I don’t want to cultivate." Yan Jingjing covered her eyes with her small hands and kept shaking her head, refusing to look or listen.

"Jingjing, be good, don’t throw a tantrum." Mu Ru said kindly.

"Mom, I want to play with my brother!" Yan Jingjing stopped, put her hands down, pouted, and said.

"Alright."

Mu Ru compromised and said, "Jingjing, let’s stop for today. When you see your brother, if he’s practicing, you mustn’t disturb him, understand?"

"Got it." Yan Jingjing nodded hurriedly, eagerly waiting to see Yan Xiaofeng.

Mu Ru picked up Yan Jingjing, intending to stand up, when she heard someone asking.

"Mom, who is this little girl?"

Mu Ru was momentarily stunned.

"Rufeng?"

"Mom, it’s me!"

Mu Ru put down Yan Jingjing, her nose tingling as tears flowed down. She hugged Yan Rufeng tightly and said, crying, "Mom thought she’d never see you again."

Yan Rufeng took out a handkerchief to wipe his mother’s tears and said guiltily, "Mom, it’s all my fault for worrying you."

Yan Jingjing, standing beside Mu Ru, looked at the unfamiliar Yan Rufeng with her big eyes, blinking curiously. She bit her lip and asked innocently, "Mom, who is this uncle, and why are you hugging him?"

Mu Ru released her tight hug on Yan Rufeng and bent down to pick up Yan Jingjing. Laughing and crying, she pointed at Yan Rufeng and said, "Jingjing, call him brother quickly."
