Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Had it been in the past, they might have shown interest in these items, but now, they were distinctly unenthusiastic. After all, their horizons had broadened. Setting aside those common herbs, jade, and who-knows-where-they-dug-up beast bones and skeletons, just take the Cultivation Techniques – Mu Family’s Heart Burning Technique and Heart Leaving Technique were several times more powerful than these overly simplified and incomplete techniques.

They were a little skeptical, could Mu Hanyan actually find anything decent here?

Following at a distance, Mu Cheng was full of doubt as well. Such a low-class market was not a place the Mu Family’s disciples would normally visit, and they were not clear on what was even sold here. Initially, when Mu Hanyan said they were going to the market, he was quite curious. But upon arrival and seeing these worthless trinkets, he began to question: What’s there to enjoy in a place like this? With Mu Hanyan’s current strength as a Sixth-tier Knight, these flowers, herbs, jade, and beast bones surely couldn’t be of any help to him.

Could this playboy be wandering around out of sheer boredom? Mu Cheng dared not treat Mu Hanyan as an incompetent fool anymore, but like Huayue, he was still reserved about his playboy demeanor.

Mu Hanyan did not notice Mu Cheng but saw the puzzled look on Zirong and Huayue’s faces and offered no explanation.

If she wanted to improve her power quickly, according to the Star Illusion Thousand Machine, another Meteor Shower would be best, but that was also the most unrealistic. Such Meteor Showers were exceptionally rare, and waiting for one could mean everything else would go cold.

Miracle Medicines were a bit more realistic, but they required money. Even a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, which she regarded as inferior, had cost a Mu Family Branch a significant sum. What more for those Spirit Pills that could truly help her? Although her life experience equaled that of her peers living twice over, she could not guarantee amassing a great fortune in a short time.

Fortunately, there was Mu Nan, the future super-wealthy tycoon. Of course, for now, he was just a little white rabbit at everyone’s mercy.

No matter how insignificant this market seemed, and no matter how unknown his auction house was at present, Mu Hanyan knew one thing: in the near future, this auction house would rise to fame with the Dragon Blood Stone, making a fortune and establishing itself as a prestigious Chamber of Commerce. Of course, no one knew then that the auction house was actually built by Lao Liu of the Mu Family using misappropriated family assets; Mu Hanyan learned this much later.

The reason Mu Hanyan sought out Mu Nan was precisely for that Dragon Blood Stone.

The dragon, one of the most powerful Divine Beasts in legend, left Essence Blood that did not perish upon death, imbued with the spirit of heaven and earth and transformed into treasures containing immense and mysterious energy, an absolute treasure for Cultivation.

Whether the legend was true or false, whether dragons ever existed in this world, Mu Hanyan was not certain. But one thing was sure: the Dragon Blood Stone greatly benefited Cultivation, and the energy contained in one such stone was equivalent to a regular person’s decade of Cultivation.

Calculating the time, Mu Nan likely obtained the Dragon Blood Stone around this period. It was the perfect time to make a move, something she could have easily missed had she not been reincarnated at this moment.

Following behind Mu Nan, they arrived at his auction house. Its location wasn’t the best, but it covered a considerable area and presented an imposing front. Looking up, the signboard above the entrance read ”Nanmu Auction,” inscribed with characters that were, well, endearingly ugly.
