Chapter 761 The Supernatural World (9)
"You should be secretly happy. This person is no ordinary person. If you can obtain something imbued with her spirit, you can live a peaceful life without ever cultivating." The system activated its mocking mode.
"System, do you know who she is?"
"Of course I know, she is... never mind, I can't say, I can't say!" The system stopped in time, and the boy couldn't get any more information out of her.
After putting away the wood carving, Wangyou continued shopping. Then, she unexpectedly saw a flyer that said Lingbao Pavilion would be holding a grand auction in three days, and that a magical artifact would be unveiled.
Wangyou wasn't interested in magical artifacts, but the auction should be fun, so she headed towards the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
"I have some Grade 3 Illusion-Breaking Pills here. I wonder if your Lingbao Pavilion accepts them?" Wangyou, taking advantage of her small size, slipped inside and approached the shopkeeper.
"Where did you come from, little girl? Wait, what did you say? A Grade Three Illusion-Breaking Pill!"
“Yes, you can check the goods.” Wangyou said, tossing over the medicine bottle.
She had refined quite a few pills in Sifang Village back then. Apart from the ones she shared with her friends, she kept the rest. Her grandmother had reminded her to refine lower-grade pills, as there were no high-grade pills for sale outside.
However, Grade 3 was already the lowest grade of pills that Wangyou could refine, and she didn't want to refine anything lower because it was too much trouble.
"You're an alchemist? Wait, is this your master's? You didn't take it secretly, did you?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Just ask if it can be put on the auction. If not, I'll ask someone else." Wangyou had no time to answer the shopkeeper's questions.
"Yes, yes, yes, just a moment, I'll go find an appraiser to have it appraised."
"hurry up."
The shopkeeper quickly left with the pills. Wangyou wasn't worried that the shopkeeper would pocket them. People like him in business are cunning and their imagined stories are probably even more outrageous than what she told. So she leisurely took a bite of her pastry.
The pastries at Lingbao Pavilion are quite good; I just wonder if we can pack some to go later.
The shopkeeper returned quickly. "Young lady, there are ten Grade 3 Breakthrough Pills here, all of top quality. At market price, one can sell for 500,000 taels of silver, and the price will be even higher if it's auctioned."
"Then let's have an auction. I want to see how exciting it is."
"My Lingbao Pavilion is willing to buy them all for 600,000 taels of silver, and will also give our distinguished guest an invitation to the auction," the shopkeeper said quickly, feeling that Wangyou's words had some hope.
“Okay.” Wangyou nodded in agreement. As long as she could get into the auction to watch the excitement, how she got in wasn’t important.
"Thank you, young lady." The shopkeeper's voice trembled with excitement.
Wangyou could understand. After all, besides being able to see through some illusions, the Illusion-Breaking Pill could also, to a certain extent, make one immune to attacks within the illusion. This could be a lifesaver in a critical moment. Moreover, the higher the grade of the pill, the longer it could last. Just like the Grade 3 Illusion-Breaking Pill that Wangyou took out, it could keep one in the illusion for seven days without getting lost.
Most importantly, places with illusions are often accompanied by a large number of rare and precious materials. Having a Grade 3 Illusion-Breaking Pill means that they have more opportunities to find treasures than others.
The shopkeeper, fearing that Wangyou might change her mind, quickly asked, "Miss, are you planning to get a card or pay in cash?"
"Half silver, and the other half gold. I can take it back and play with it," Wangyou said, stroking her chin.
"Yes." The shopkeeper was shocked. What kind of family raised this child? So much silver was just thrown around like that. Luckily, he didn't have any improper thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died.
Having received the silver and the golden invitation, Wangyou left. According to the shopkeeper, the golden invitation was the highest-level invitation, but Wangyou didn't care about that. Before leaving, she asked the shopkeeper to pack two boxes of pastries for her.
The shopkeeper inexplicably felt that in this girl's eyes, the invitation and six million taels of silver were not as important as these two boxes of pastries.
The shopkeeper silently noted this down, and on the day Wangyou came to attend the auction, her private room was always stocked with snacks and juice.
Wangyou was overjoyed to have gotten two boxes of pastries for free, only to stumble upon a massive annulment of her engagement.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't underestimate a young man's potential!" A plain-looking boy shouted angrily at a man who looked like a steward.
Hmm, this house looks a little familiar. I'm sure it's the Shi family. I just wonder which girl from the Shi family broke off her engagement.
Wangyou ate her snacks, watched the lively scene, and swayed her head happily.
"Pah! Don't underestimate a young man's potential. If you were even a little bit more ambitious, my young lady wouldn't have broken off the engagement with you. All you do all day is eat and sleep. You're worse than a pig!" The steward's tone was full of sarcasm.
The boy's face turned bright red, clearly the steward was telling the truth, which explained it. But how did the boy have the courage to shout "Don't underestimate a poor boy"?
"This is probably Pu Xin Nan." A chuckled voice came from the side.
What is a "normal man"?
"Just an ordinary yet confident man, wow, you're the boss!"
"Hey boss, my name is Su Chen. What's your name?"
"Forget your worries."
Seeing the people around him pointing and whispering, the boy quickly grabbed the package and ran away.
"Your name is really nice, boss. It's fate that we met. Let me treat you to dinner. I know a wonton shop that's really delicious and reasonably priced."
“Okay.” Wangyou nodded firmly, and the two of them, one big and one small, left.
"Boss, what happened just now? Do you think that guy might be some kind of protagonist who suddenly makes a comeback and slaps the Shi family in the face?" After watching the excitement, Su Chen belatedly felt scared.
"No, unless someone is willing to defy fate for him, but the price is not something a person without merit or faith can afford."
"Then I'm relieved. Novels say that this kind of protagonist is the most vengeful."
"What novel?"
"It's a storybook from my world, it's really good. I loved reading it when I was in school, but I haven't had the chance to read it much since I came here." Su Chen's tone was filled with nostalgia.
"Since you're here, make the best of it and live in the moment. By the way, aren't they recruiting students in a few days? Aren't you going?"
"No, I don't have any talent in mystical arts. I'll just follow the system's pace step by step. You know, before I transmigrated, I also thought I might be the protagonist, but after a few years, reality has crushed me to the core."
"Everyone can be the protagonist of their own life, as long as they want to."
"Dude, are you sure you didn't travel through time?"
"It shouldn't be, I was born and raised here."
"Boss, I will live my life well."
"Yes, you can learn to draw talismans. You can carve things so well, it's always a good idea to develop in the path of talismans."
"I understand. I'll go back and memorize the Complete Book of Talismans."
