Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1446: Chapter 1445: Badge? I Haven’t Been Tested Yet!

In fact, Su Han naturally knew what Shen Mengli was hesitating about.

The auction house has its rules; who the seller is, and what the items for auction are, should not be disclosed to others; only the auction house itself knows.

Shen Mengli had already violated the auction house’s rules by telling Su Han that the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch would be present at the auction. And now, Su Han wanted to see it...

Su Han was not someone who didn’t understand the rules, but the temptation of the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch was just too great for him.

Because in a previous life, he had obtained an incomplete map of the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch!

With Su Han’s current state of mind, apart from the items needed for cultivation, there were very few things that could truly move him.

Such as those so-called spiritual techniques, secret techniques, and cultivation techniques...

Su Han could casually produce one and cause a sensation in this Lower-Class Star Region.

What he pursued now was cultivation base, was strength.

And clearly, the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch was one of the items that could achieve Su Han’s aspirations!

”Just a glance, I absolutely won’t tell anyone else.” Seeing Shen Mengli’s hesitation, Su Han spoke again.

The people behind Shen Mengli furrowed their brows.

Although their impression of Su Han had improved greatly due to the previous alchemy demonstrating his skill, this request was rather excessive.

Especially since the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch was the most important item at this auction!

”Alright!”

After a moment, Shen Mengli suddenly gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.

”Miss, you mustn’t!”

”Miss, how can this be allowed? Such a precious item, how can it be taken out casually to... to let others see?”

”If the Family Head finds out, he will certainly be furious.”

Everyone hurried to dissuade her, but since Shen Mengli had made her decision, she would not renege.

She looked at Su Han and said, ”I’ll let you see it, but there’s one condition. You must serve as a Guest Pill Master for the Shen Family and not refuse if we need alchemy in the future.”

Su Han fell silent.

”Of course, we will give you the same compensation we would offer any other Pill Master; it won’t be less, and you need only provide us with pills that other Pill Masters cannot.” Shen Mengli added.

It must be said, she deserved credit for her business acumen; her mind worked quickly.

Su Han’s pill refining accomplishment could be seen from that pill just now.

Turning a pill that was originally of Lower-Class quality into a Top-Grade one, without using any medicinal ingredients or even needing a pill furnace...

Is there still any doubt?

If Su Han’s cultivation base were higher, the pills he refined would only be stronger!

Catching this opportunity to invite him to the Shen Family was perfect; as Su Han’s cultivation base improved, his pill refining accomplishment would undoubtedly become stronger.

To the Shen Family, he might not seem significant at the moment, but Shen Mengli was betting on Su Han’s future!

Honestly, being a Guest Pill Master wasn’t something Su Han wanted to do.

But for the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch...

”Alright.” Su Han nodded.

Shen Mengli immediately turned and left.

Before long, Su Han was invited to a room on the second floor.

Shen Mengli returned, carrying an incomplete map, which was an iron gray color.

When Su Han saw this color, he was already stunned.

Because this color was exactly the same as the color of the incomplete map of the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch he obtained in his previous life!

Even with Su Han’s current state of mind, his rapid breathing was somewhat uncontrollable.

Under the hat, Shen Mengli couldn’t deliberately check Su Han’s expression; if discovered, Su Han’s impression of her would surely worsen.

The most crucial thing was... she wasn’t as shameless as her good sister, checking first and worrying later regardless of whether people mind or not.

After all, Shen Mengli was in business and didn’t have that snobbish attitude; she was extremely respectful to everyone.

”This is the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch to be auctioned.” Shen Mengli said.

Su Han took it, merely glanced at it, then handed it back to Shen Mengli.

She was slightly amazed: ”You’ve... finished looking?”

”Yes.”

Su Han nodded, and his tone returned to its usual calmness.

Shen Mengli was puzzled; what could this guy possibly discern from a mere glance?

Even if he was a Ancestral Witch, even the Sovereign of the Holy Domain, controlling all under heaven, probably wouldn’t know whether the incomplete map was genuine, right?

After all, who had ever seen the Ancestral Witch?

”Alright then.”

Shen Mengli reluctantly put the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch away, suddenly said: ”Why not sell this Atlas of the Ancestral Witch to you as the reward for you joining the Shen Family?”

As she spoke, she fixedly stared at Su Han.

”No need.”

Su Han waved his hand: ”Taking it out already violates the auction house’s rules, and the seller wouldn’t agree either.”

”Oh, alright then.”

Shen Mengli nodded disappointedly.

”Play mind games with me?” Su Han coldly laughed in his heart.

If he really wanted to buy it, that would definitely prove there’s something wrong with this incomplete map of the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch.

If that were the case, it most likely wouldn’t be auctioned and might be kept by the Shen Family themselves.

Shen Mengli didn’t really intend to sell it to Su Han; she was just testing him.

And Su Han’s attitude couldn’t be said to be true or false, only that he was very interested in the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch.

Everything matched Shen Mengli’s speculation, so the subsequent events would proceed normally, and the Atlas of the Ancestral Witch would still be up for auction.

...

Originally intending to leave, Su Han decided to stay.

Because that Atlas of the Ancestral Witch was genuine.

And it matched up with the incomplete map he had obtained in his previous life.

Unfortunately, that Atlas of the Ancestral Witch from his past life was now nowhere to be found...

On the day of the auction, Shen Menghan and Shen Mengli came to Su Han’s room early in the morning.

Today, Shen Menghan was dressed completely differently, with her pigtails gone and long hair draped down. Her features, which were only beautiful before, were now exquisitely highlighted, and her slender figure was captivating, no less than Shen Mengli.

Honestly, her peaks were slightly smaller.

”Clothes make the man... indeed, people need to dress well.” Su Han thought to himself.

Seeing the two sisters, Su Han was reminded of Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran on the Dragon Martial Continent, and then of Yun Congcong and Yun Qianqian from before.

Clearly, the relationship between Shen Mengli and Shen Menghan was far better than that of Yun Congcong and Yun Qianqian.

”The auction is about to start.”

Shen Mengli glanced at Su Han’s left chest and then said, ”There’s one more thing I wanted to ask you. As a Guest Pill Master of the Shen Family, shouldn’t you wear the badge?”

”Badge?”

Su Han shrugged: ”I haven’t taken the test yet.”

Shen Mengli: ”...”
