Chapter 266: Chapter 266: The Magic Artifact for Making Spirit Qi Water_1

"A Magic Artifact for making Spirit Qi Water?" Xu Yourong was taken aback, her face showing surprise.

Seeing Xu Yourong’s reaction, Zuo Tao thought she was shocked by his words and proudly said, "Yes, Miss Xu, that Spirit Qi Water is so hot right now, it can both improve your health and beauty, everyone’s sold out! You can’t find it in the malls in the provincial capital, and if you want to buy some, you can only turn to the black market, and even there, it’s not for sale at any price!"

Neither Xu Yourong nor Su Qingcheng showed the shock Zuo Tao had expected; instead, they both looked at Ning Fan with peculiar expressions.

Ning Fan also showed a hint of suspicion.

A Magic Artifact making Spirit Qi Water? Spirit Qi Water isn’t something made by a Magic Artifact.

Could it be that someone was masquerading under his name, a deception?

Seeing that the three of them weren’t speaking, Zuo Tao felt baffled. "Miss Xu, is there a problem?"

Su Qingcheng snorted coldly, deliberately glancing at Ning Fan, "Young Master Zuo, isn’t it true that the inventor of Spirit Qi Water is Mr. Ning Fan, the boyfriend of Miss Xu here?"

"Ning Fan? What a joke!"

Zuo Tao turned to look at Ning Fan, then berated:

"Miss Xu, the true inventor of Spirit Qi Water is the owner of that Magic Artifact, this Ning fellow is definitely deceiving you all!"

"Such country bumpkins, they only know how to earn a living by deception, you must not believe him!"

Facing Zuo Tao’s berating, Xu Yourong simply smiled without saying a word, just clung tightly to Ning Fan’s arm, her lips curling into a smile as fresh as flowers, "It’s okay, even if Ning Fan deceives me, I’m willing to believe in him."

At those words, Zuo Tao was left stunned, his expression as colorful as it could be.

After that, the three of them headed toward the small hall, leaving Zuo Tao standing there alone, filled with envy and resentment.

The area of the small hall was not large, with an auction platform in the center, surrounded by seats prepared in advance.

There were already many elegantly dressed, haughty elites seated, talking amongst themselves.

"Old Li, you’re here too?"

"Yeah, who wouldn’t want to come and see the auction of the Magic Artifact for making Spirit Qi Water?"

"If I can get it, that would be a huge profit!"

Those attending the auction were all high-end individuals, wealthy or influential, all informed about the specifics of today’s auction through their own channels.

Spirit Qi Water was the most popular product on the market, yet supply was limited to one source, making it impossible to purchase.

Now that the Magic Artifact for making Spirit Qi Water had appeared, naturally, everyone flocked in, wanting to compete for it.

"Ning Fan, Qing Cheng, come sit over here."

Xu Yourong led the way to a row of three empty seats and gestured for them to follow.

"Humph, I’ll go first."

Su Qingcheng, with her arms folded, arrogantly settled down beside Xu Yourong before anyone else.

Ning Fan didn’t quite understand why Su Qingcheng had to compete for this too, but he didn’t mind, taking a seat beside Xu Yourong.

After a short wait, the auction officially began, and everyone fell silent, concentrating on the stage.

A middle-aged man in grey robes with a sturdy frame and an inscrutable expression slowly walked to the stage.

He had an otherworldly air about him as if he were a high-ranking Taoist master.

But Ning Fan couldn’t sense anything special about him.

"It’s Master Ge!"

"The creator of Spirit Qi Water is actually Master Ge!"

"Master Ge truly is a high-ranking Taoist master, to be able to invent Spirit Qi Water!"

The surrounding wealthy individuals started exclaiming in admiration.

Ning Fan frowned slightly, murmuring to himself, "This Master Ge has quite a reputation."

A middle-aged man nearby overheard Ning Fan and said with a smug smile, "Young man, you must be from outside the province? Let me tell you, Master Ge has been rising rapidly in our provincial elite circles!"

"With his inscrutable skills, he has helped many of us solve problems and also possesses miraculous powers that can heal intractable diseases. It’s not an exaggeration to say he’s a high-ranking Taoist master!"

At these words, Ning Fan raised an eyebrow.

No matter how he looked, that man seemed very familiar.

It was Ge Tiangang, who he had encountered in Sea City.

Amidst the praise, Master Ge raised his hands slightly and pressed them down, silencing the crowd as they all looked at him expectantly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, many of you may already know me, so I’ll cut to the chase and tell you about what I’ve brought for you today."

Master Ge beckoned to the audience, and a beautiful waitress wearing a body-hugging cheongsam immediately brought up a wooden box to the stage, placing it on the table in front of Master Ge.

Master Ge opened the wooden box and took out its contents.

It was a Jade Cauldron, with three legs and two ears, the jade quality lustrous and faintly radiating with flowing light—obviously worth a pretty penny.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all aware of Spirit Qi Water, the most recent hot commodity on the market."

"In fact, that Spirit Qi Water was refined by me!"

Upon his declaration, it immediately stirred exclamations among the audience.

Master Ge’s face showed satisfaction, clearly enjoying the adulation.

But some people were skeptical.

"Empty words, where’s the proof?"

"Unless you show us evidence, we won’t just take your word for it!"

"Master Ge, we don’t mean to question you, but we really want to see how you produced such miraculous Spirit Qi Water."
