The disciple took the shield and left, leaving Ling Yuanxue alone.
In the study.
Only she and Jun Changxiao were left.
Ling Yuanxue kept her head down, her small hands trembling slightly.
This was the first time she was alone with the Sect Master. She was shy to begin with, so she must be very nervous now.
"Pa."
Suddenly, there was a sound.
Ling Yuanxue was startled and unconsciously took two steps back.
Jun Changxiao saw this and was speechless. "I just put the aptitude reforming liquid on the table and she got scared. She's too timid."
"Yuanxue."
He held his chin and said, "What's your dream?"
Why did the Sect Master ask about her dream again?
Ling Yuanxue whispered, "My … My dream is to cultivate martial arts and prove to you stinky … No, no, prove to all stinky men except the Sect Master!"
Jun Changxiao said seriously, "Cultivating martial arts is not to prove to others, but to prove to yourself. Do you understand?"
"Un … Understood!"
"Pa!"
Jun Changxiao slammed the table and said sternly, "Louder!"
Ling Yuanxue was almost scared to tears. She closed her eyes and said loudly, "Understood!"
Jun Changxiao's tone became gentle. "Cultivating martial arts is about courage. When we go to Death Valley, I hope to see your brave and strong side."
"Understood!" Ling Yuanxue said.
Jun Changxiao said, "Drink this bottle of liquid."
"Oh."
Ling Yuanxue walked over step by step, then picked up the bottle of aptitude reforming liquid, opened the cork, and drank it.
After a while, her face became incomparably red. Her spiritual root aptitude went from low-grade to mortal-grade, and her cultivation also went from level ten to level twelve.
"This …"
Ling Yuanxue stood there with her almond-shaped eyes.
…
After each of the twenty-four disciples was equipped with an iron shield, Jun Changxiao ordered them to continue their cultivation in order to prepare for the trip to Death Valley.
As for Qingyang County, they were still talking about the Iron Bone Sect's victory over the Grand Qi Sect. It was not until another big news spread that the limelight was overshadowed.
What big news?
Seven days later, the Ai family auctioned off the Body Shaping Pills!
This kind of elixir that could enhance one's physical strength had already spread around when Iron Bone went to challenge the Noble Spirit Gate. Then, it suddenly disappeared, and many people had almost forgotten about it.
He could forget about it last time, but not this time.
Because after the Ai family confirmed the date of the auction, they carried out a large-scale publicity campaign. All kinds of praises and advertisements were used, giving people a feeling that it was very exaggerated!
It was even more exaggerated.
The Ai Clan's auction this time was different from the past. They directly announced the starting price of the Body Shaping Pill.
How much?
The starting price was one million taels!
"One million taels? That's too exaggerated! "
"Even if a high-grade medicinal pill were to be auctioned, it wouldn't be able to fetch such a price!"
"It's too extravagant. I can't afford it!"
If Jun Changxiao were to be auctioned, the starting price would be one million taels of silver. Many martial artists would definitely think that Jun Changxiao was crazy for money.
However, the Ai Family was different. After all, they were an old and established family. Previously, they even had healing pills. When many martial artists heard of this news, they unanimously agreed that the effects of the Body Sculpting Pill must be incomparably miraculous!
If Ai Shangyan used Iron Bone's disciple defeating the Noble Spirit Gate's disciple to advertise, it would cause an even bigger sensation. However, Sect Leader Jun didn't authorize it, so he didn't dare to use it as a gimmick.
One million taels of silver was already a huge gimmick.
The large clans and sects in Azure Sun County that trusted the Ai family enough naturally started to raise funds after receiving the news.
Jun Changxiao also received the news and laughed, "The starting price is one million taels of silver. If the auction starts, I don't dare to imagine the final price."
Li Luoqiu said, "The Body Shaping Pills refined by the Sect Leader are very important to martial artists. With the Ai family's help, those four Body Shaping Pills will probably fetch a sky-high price."
… …
Jun Changxiao continued to develop in the sect. He wasn't interested in participating in the upcoming auction, mainly because he didn't want to show his face in public. Instead, he wanted to wait behind the scenes to collect money.
Seven days later.
The auction was held as scheduled.
Because the Ai family clearly stated that the Body Shaping Pills were only for martial artists in Azure Sun County, the other county forces only casually sent people to join in the fun when they heard the news.
"Everyone."
Inside the auction house, Ai Shang stood on the auction stage and said, "I believe all of you already know the effects of the Body Shaping Pills even if I don't tell you. So, let's begin the auction."
"Shua!"
He opened the brocade box and said loudly, "The starting price of the first Body Shaping Pill is one million taels of silver!"
"One million and one hundred thousand taels!"
"One million and two hundred thousand taels!"
"… …"
The intense bidding began.
All the large clans and sects went all out. After all, there were only four Body Shaping Pills, which were even rarer than the Healing Pills!
After the auction ended, the news was passed to Iron Bone. Jun Changxiao learned that the four Healing Pills were sold for ten million taels of silver.
"Only two million and five hundred thousand taels of silver per pill?" He shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem too high."
Li Luoqiu said, "The Ai family's auction this time is limited to Azure Sun County. They didn't allow any other county forces to participate. It's already good that they managed to sell it for ten million taels of silver."
"That's true."
Jun Changxiao felt relieved.
Ten million taels of silver was split 40-60. He could earn four million taels of silver. This was like picking up money.
That wasn't all.
After the Body Shaping Pills, the Ai family continued to auction the Healing Pills.
Although the other county forces didn't participate and the ten Healing Pills couldn't reach the price of six million taels of silver, they still managed to sell for four million taels of silver.
The Ai family did this to take care of the other county forces so that they wouldn't complain all day.
"Sect Master."
Li Qingyang reported, "The Ai family head is here to visit again."
Actually, it would be more appropriate to say 'The Ai family head is here to give money again'.
… …
After Ai Shangyao entered the main hall, he first handed over six million taels of silver.
Jun Changxiao liked to work with the Ai family, so he directly gave them fifty bottles of Healing Pills and ten bottles of Body Shaping Pills.
When Ai Shangyao received the money, his hands started to tremble uncontrollably.
With so many pills, the profit they could earn from auctioning them off every once in a while was unimaginable!
Pay ten times the penalty to the Xiao family?
Bullshit!
As long as they could form a good relationship with Sect Master Jun, they wouldn't care even if they had to pay twenty times the penalty!
Ai Shangyao left happily and began to plan for a bigger auction.
On the way, he had already decided that the next auction would be open to the public and the Healing Pills would not be limited to Azure Sun County!
… …
The matter of the auction gradually faded away with the passage of time.
With the help of the craftsmen, the renovation of the outer courtyard of the Iron Bone Sect had also been completed. The grounds had become bigger and there were more pavilions.
Especially the main hall, which had been renovated to be even more majestic and dazzling.
The foundation of a sect was all in the main hall.
Therefore, after challenging the Vast Qi Sect, Li Qingyang focused all his energy on the main hall.
Why?
Because the outer courtyard grounds and pavilions could be expanded and built at will, but the main hall had to remain in place. Therefore, if he wanted to renovate it, he had to do it in one step!
Li Qingyang's idea was very correct.
After the main hall was renovated twice, it would be a long time before it was renovated again.
"Not bad, not bad."
Standing in the incomparably spacious and majestic main hall, Jun Changxiao smiled with satisfaction.
"Sect Master."
Li Qingyang said, "This disciple has already drawn up the blueprint for a larger scale renovation. We can carry out the third renovation at any time."
"This is very good. We will talk about it after the third renovation."
Jun Changxiao paused for a moment and said, "Pass down the order. Let the specially trained disciples have a good night's rest. We will set off for Death Valley tomorrow."
