"Xia Qing!" Xia Ruofei transmitted his thoughts through the Spirit Map Scroll.
Xia Qing immediately replied respectfully, "Master, your subordinate is here!"
"Do you know the recipe for the Elemental Gathering Pill?"
"Master, your subordinate doesn't know the recipe." Xia Qing replied in shame.
"It's okay, the recipe isn't complicated." Xia Ruofei said lightly, "Remember, one liang of angelica, one liang of angelica, one liang of angelica, five qian of Qianhu …"
Xia Ruofei quickly told Xia Qing the ingredients and recipe for the Elemental Gathering Pill.
Although this recipe had been lost in Chinese medicine, it wasn't a complicated recipe, and the recipe was also quite simple. Just boil it normally and refine it into a pill.
So after Xia Qing heard it, she immediately said, "Master, this subordinate will remember it!"
Xia Ruofei said lightly, "These common ingredients are all in the space, immediately refine fifty pills, I need them tomorrow."
"Yes, master!" Xia Qing replied.
After handing over the task of refining the Elemental Gathering Pill to Xia Qing, Xia Ruofei went online in his room to read news related to the auction, and then went to bed to rest.
The next morning, Xia Ruofei woke up on time, sat cross-legged on the balcony of his bedroom, and began to cultivate.
The time between midnight and dawn was the most active time of the day. On Earth, where spiritual energy was scarce, it could barely meet the requirements of cultivation, so as long as there were no special circumstances, Xia Ruofei insisted on cultivating every day.
Now that Xia Ruofei could feel the bottleneck of the fourth level of Qi Refining more and more clearly, he naturally cultivated every day, hoping to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible.
He still remembered that he had a potential enemy who was suspected to be a Profound Stage Martial Artist. Although the possibility of being exposed was very low, he never let his guard down.
And since there were Profound Stage warriors, there might be higher level warriors, or even cultivators. Xia Ruofei guessed that these people were just concentrating on cultivation and rarely came out, but it was still very likely that they would cross paths with this mysterious group in the future.
In the world of cultivators, strength was king.
Now that Xia Ruofei had this condition, he would naturally think of ways to improve his strength as much as possible. Only then would he be able to grasp the initiative.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi trembled slightly and then gathered towards Xia Ruofei.
Unknowingly, his cultivation began to slowly increase.
Although this was a rather slow process, as long as he made progress every day, it was only a matter of time before he broke through.
The balcony of the master bedroom was facing Victoria Bay. As time passed, a red sun jumped out of the sea, and the sparkling sea was suddenly dyed with a layer of golden light.
Xia Ruofei was completely unaware of this magnificent scenery and was still wholeheartedly cultivating. It was not until six o 'clock in the morning that Xia Ruofei felt the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly become turbid and heterogeneous that he stopped cultivating and got up.
When he was cultivating just now, Xia Ruofei noticed that the door on the other side of the presidential suite had opened and Feng Jing had left the suite.
However, Xia Ruofei was cultivating and did not pay too much attention to it.
Now that he was done cultivating, Xia Ruofei went to take a shower first, then pushed open the door of the master bedroom and walked out.
At this moment, Feng Jing also pushed open the door from outside and came in. After confirming that Feng Jing had moved in with them yesterday, Xia Ruofei asked the exclusive butler of the presidential suite to bring a new room card to Feng Jing.
Feng Jing was wearing a tight sports vest and compression pants, revealing a snow-white waist. Her body was covered with a layer of sparkling sweat, her hair was also wet, and there was a trace of redness on her pretty face. Obviously, she had just come back from exercising.
"Good morning!" Xia Ruofei took the initiative to greet her.
Feng Jing did not expect Xia Ruofei to wake up so early. Usually, in front of Xia Ruofei, she was dressed like a professional beauty. Today was the first time she was dressed so skimpily, and she could not help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Good … Good morning, Chairman!" Feng Jing said with a slightly red face.
Xia Ruofei's gaze swept over Feng Jing's hot body and asked with a smile, "Did you exercise?"
"Yes! I went to the hotel gym to exercise for a while. "Feng Jing said.
"Then hurry up and take a shower! Otherwise, it is easy to catch a cold. "Xia Ruofei said," Right, I am going to order breakfast. What do you want to eat? "
Feng Jing felt warm in her heart. She smiled at Xia Ruofei and said, "I am fine with anything. I am not picky about food. Chairman, you decide!"
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Feng Jing greeted Xia Ruofei and hurried back to her room. Wearing this skimpy outfit in front of Xia Ruofei really made her feel a little unnatural.
Xia Ruofei used the hotel's internal phone to order two breakfasts.
After a while, the doorbell rang, and two waiters pushed the dining cart up with breakfast.
Although Xia Ruofei only ordered two breakfasts, the variety of breakfasts was very rich and quite exquisite. It was estimated that it was enough for four people with normal appetites.
After the waiters placed the breakfasts on the table one by one, they bowed and left.
Soon, Feng Jing also came out of the room. She had obviously just taken a shower. Her hair was still wet. She had changed into a formal suit, and there was still a trace of redness on her pretty face. She looked delicate and charming.
Xia Ruofei smiled and called Feng Jing over to eat together.
After enjoying the sumptuous breakfast, Feng Jing said, "Chairman, I will go down first. The auction will start at 9: 30 in the morning. I will go to the venue to see if there are any problems."
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Manager Feng, thank you for your hard work. I will be in the audience for today's auction. Everything depends on you! "
Feng Jing nodded and said, "En! Everything is ready. There shouldn't be any problems! "
After that, Feng Jing got up and left the Presidential Suite.
At around 8: 30, Ma Zhiming came to the Presidential Suite and invited Xia Ruofei to the venue downstairs.
Today, Huanhuan still had summer school, so Tian Huixin took Huanhuan to class. Ma Xiong and Ma Zhiming would also be attending the auction.
Xia Ruofei and Ma Zhiming took the private elevator to the banquet hall on the third floor of the hotel.
Xia Ruofei found that the entire banquet hall had been redecorated. The logos of Hengfeng Auction House and the Taoyuan Company could be seen everywhere. In addition to the promotional posters around the venue, there were also the number plates prepared for everyone, including the notes, paper cups, and other small items used in the venue. They were all printed with the logos of the Taoyuan Company and Hengfeng Auction House.
At the back of the center stage, there was a huge spray-painted poster. The content on it was the same as the banner content on the front page of the auction house's website. The visual center was also a picture of a top-quality one-headed abalone. Of course, the company's logo was also printed on the eye-catching part of the poster.
There were huge projection screens on both sides of the stage. On them, there was a carefully edited promotional video. This promotional video was also widely circulated on the Internet recently.
There were two signing booths at the entrance of the venue. One was for the media, and the other was for the guests.
Xia Ruofei noticed that some media reporters had already arrived at the venue. After signing in, they would receive a paper bag as a gift and a lottery ticket. After signing in, the guests would also receive a lottery ticket.
Xia Ruofei specially went to the media signing area to take a look. The gifts in the paper bag were quite thoughtful. They included a parasol, a pair of sunglasses, a box of Tieguanyin tea leaves, a signature pen, and a small backpack.
All of these small gifts were printed with the logo of the Taoyuan Company. Many reporters could directly put the gifts into the small backpack after receiving them. These reporters walked around the venue, and the logo of the Taoyuan Company was printed on their backpacks. The appearance rate was quite high.
Xia Ruofei knew that most of these were ideas that Feng Jing came up with. He couldn't help but smile.
The auction hadn't started yet, but these small details had already made Xia Ruofei feel a lot more at ease. Feng Jing and the Hengfeng Auction House team had indeed put a lot of thought into it.
Feng Jing was patrolling the venue. After seeing Xia Ruofei and Ma Zhiming, she immediately walked over.
"Chairman, you're here!" Feng Jing looked at the large insulated box in Xia Ruofei's hand and said, "Leave it to me!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "How can I let a lady do such physical labor? Just tell me where to put it. "
Feng Jing pursed her lips and smiled. "Chairman, come with me!"
Feng Jing led Xia Ruofei to the center of the stage. Xia Ruofei noticed that there were two vertical freezers on the stage. They were a bit similar to the freezers that sold cold drinks in stores. They used transparent glass doors, but the interior had been modified to a certain extent.
Feng Jing asked Xia Ruofei to put the 21 abalones that met or exceeded the standard of one-headed abalone in the freezer from top to bottom according to their weight. The abalones that were slightly less heavy were placed in another freezer.
Then, Feng Jing pressed a switch on the side of the freezer, and the spotlights that were installed in the freezer lit up. The light shone on each of the abalones, and the quality of the abalones instantly increased by a lot.
Four big men in black suits were responsible for guarding the two freezers. The waists of the four men were bulging, obviously carrying weapons. It was obvious that Hengfeng attached great importance to the safety of the auction items.
After the abalones that were about to be auctioned were placed properly, Ma Zhiming led Xia Ruofei to the VIP area below the stage and sat down, while Feng Jing continued to make arrangements in the venue.
There were still forty to fifty minutes before the auction began. Ma Xiong also arrived at the auction venue.
Naturally, everyone exchanged pleasantries.
The seats in the VIP area were labeled with their corresponding names. Originally, Ma Xiong wanted to let Xia Ruofei sit in the middle seat next to him. However, Xia Ruofei came this time to keep a low profile, so naturally, he politely declined.
Therefore, his seat was arranged to be next to Ma Zhiming in the middle of the third row. This not only highlighted Xia Ruofei's identity, but at the same time, it wouldn't be too eye-catching.
Otherwise, a young man in his twenties sitting on the same level as a billionaire like Ma Xiong would definitely cause all kinds of speculation.
The media reporters present certainly wouldn't let go of such a news point. When the time came, it would be unrealistic for Xia Ruofei to keep a low profile.
As the time of the auction approached, reporters from all walks of life began to enter the venue.
Xia Ruofei noticed that there were quite a lot of media reporters present today.
Several well-known newspapers, magazines, websites, and television stations in Hong Kong naturally sent their reporters. With Ma Xiong's reputation in Hong Kong, if he personally came out to greet them, very few media outlets would refuse. Moreover, the auction itself was full of gimmicks.
In addition to the local media in Hong Kong, Xia Ruofei also discovered media reporters from Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries that were predominantly Chinese.
Most of the people in these countries were Chinese. Some of the official languages were even Chinese. Everyone's living habits and so on were similar to the people in Huaxia. The news of the auction of the best quality one-headed abalone also received a lot of attention in these countries.
In addition, there were also a lot of media outlets in the mainland. Several media outlets in Southeast Province, especially in Sanshan City, came. Media reporters from several coastal provinces also came specifically for interviews.
Xia Ruofei even discovered the presence of a Central TV reporter. Of course, this was a reporter from the Central TV reporter's office in Hong Kong. They didn't come specifically from Beijing. Most of these reporters' work was to run to various venues. Today's auction naturally couldn't be broadcast on a comprehensive channel or a news channel.
Even so, Xia Ruofei was very surprised.
If news of the auction could be broadcast on Central TV, even if it was on the Agriculture Channel, the audience would be completely incomparable to the provincial and municipal media.
The guests also came to the venue one after another.
Ma Xiong also started to get busy. He constantly greeted the guests present and introduced some of them to Xia Ruofei.
Of course, most of the guests were not qualified to talk to Ma Xiong directly. Some people would exchange a few words with Ma Zhiming. After all, there were only a few rich people in Hong Kong who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Ma Xiong.
In addition to greeting the guests, Ma Zhiming would also introduce the people present to Xia Ruofei from time to time.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Superman Li's second son, Gambling King He's daughter, King Zheng's nephew … After a while, Xia Ruofei heard a lot of rich people's names that he had only seen on TV and newspapers before.
Although not all of these top rich people were present, most of them at least sent their sons and nephews to attend. There were even a few business tycoons who flew to Hong Kong from overseas to attend.
In just a short while, Xia Ruofei had a very direct understanding of Ma Xiong's influence in Hong Kong. At the same time, he became more and more confident about today's auction.
Soon, it was 9: 30 PM, and the venue was almost full.
Melodious music began to play.
Feng Jing, wearing a professional suit, walked to the center stage with a microphone. She had light makeup on and a confident smile on her face, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Many media reporters immediately picked up their cameras and pointed at Feng Jing on the stage.
