Reborn : Space Intelligent Woman

Chapter 2622: Chapter 2622: Things To Be Auctioned.

”Miss Yu Qi... do you happen to have anything intended for auction at the moment?” Huang Jin asked, his voice tinged with genuine curiosity.

”I do, actually. Thank you for reminding me.” Yu Qi replied with a small nod.

Immediately, the eyes of the four guardians in the room lit up with palpable excitement. They were eager to discover what rare treasures Yu Qi intended to put up for public bidding.

”I will show the items to you all after we finish our meal. Unless you have other duties to attend to? If so, I certainly don’t want to disturb your work.” Yu Qi offered considerately.

”We don’t have any work at all!”

”That’s right. We have a lot of time.”

”Yes... We are quite free this evening.”

”We would love nothing more than to take a look at the items.”

The four guardians spoke one after another in rapid succession, their eagerness nearly overlapping as they answered.

”Great. Let’s wait until after we have finished the meal.” Yu Qi concluded.

The four guardians were internally buzzing with excitement, even though they tried their best not to show it too overtly in front of Yu Qi and Long Hui. They felt the need to maintain a level of professional restraint, given their status as the Ancestor’s chosen guardians.

After dinner was over, Yu Qi moved to help clean the dishes, but the guardians firmly insisted she remain seated. They would handle the chores themselves, moving with practised efficiency.

Left to their own devices, Yu Qi and Long Hui sat together, gazing up at the sprawling night sky. She had to admit, the stars in the cultivation world were far more brilliant and beautiful than anything seen in the world outside. The air was cool, carrying the faint scent of night-blooming jasmine and ancient stone.

Yu Qi leaned her head against Long Hui’s shoulder, finding the silence between them to be both comfortable and profound.

”Are you going to auction the pill again?” Long Hui asked.

”Hmm... They seem to be quite profitable.” Yu Qi noted with a nod.

A few moments later, the four guardians reappeared. They had finished the chores with unnatural speed, their expressions a mix of professional stoicism and barely contained curiosity.

Yu Qi smiled, amused to see them in such a state.

”Miss Yu Qi, we have returned.” Huang Jin announced.

”Let’s go to the hall. It is a bit more spacious there.” Yu Qi said while standing up.

Long Hui stood as well, following closely behind his beloved Qi Qi. Once they were settled inside the grand hall, Yu Qi waved her hand elegantly over the dark wooden table.

In a shimmering ripple of spiritual energy, several glass jars appeared. Each one contained various pills. The four guardians’ eyes widened and sparkled when they beheld the colourful medicinal pellets nestled inside the glass.

I will explain the properties of these pills one by one.” Yu Qi stated.

She reached out for the first glass jar and unsealed it. A potent fragrance immediately flooded the hall. The scent was so rich and pure that simply inhaling it provided a refreshing benefit to their meridians. If merely smelling it was this effective, it meant that consuming the pill would yield even greater results.

”This is a Spiritual Energy Gathering Pill. I know that you are already well-aware of its benefits, so there is no need for a lengthy explanation.” Yu Qi said.

Then, she reached for another glass jar and opened it. However, this time, no fragrance emanated from the container.

”This is a Bone Formation Pill.” Yu Qi introduced the pills.

”A Bone Formation Pill? What is its primary benefit, Miss Yu Qi?” Luse Man asked, leaning in closer.

”Let’s say you lost your hand, or perhaps a beast snatched a limb away. You would only need to consume this Bone Formation Pill, and it would regenerate your hand starting directly from the bone. However, I should warn you. The process is known to be quite painful.” Yu Qi explained.

”It is a magnificent pill. Most cultivators who lose their hands or legs end up living in much harsher environments. They are often mocked or looked down upon by others.” Hong Zhou remarked, nodding solemnly.

”Miss Yu Qi, may I ask something?” Luse Man interrupted.

”What is it?” Yu Qi asked.

”Can it still be used even if the wound has already healed and scarred over?” Luse Man inquired.

”Yes, but it is going to be a lot of pain. Because the wound that had already been sealed needs to be opened back in order for the bone to grow. And during that time, you can not take another pill to ease your pain. You need to endure the pain using your sheer will. So, I don’t think it would be a suitable solution for someone healed the wound. It is far less painful for people who have just recently lost their hands or legs.” Yu Qi explained.

”Oh... so we cannot take any painkillers or supplementary pills during the process.” Luse Man noted, nodding in understanding.

”That’s right. It would disrupt the biological process.” Yu Qi confirmed. She then pointed toward the third glass jar. ”This pill is a Second Grade Prolongation Pill. It will extend your natural lifetime by ten years.”

”What?” Everyone gasped in visible surprise.

”It’s true. As you know, once you realise how much of your lifetime is left, you must break through to the next level. Otherwise, you will die. So, if you take this pill, you will have 10 years more. However, within those extra ten years, you will have to break through to the next level. You can not consume this pill for the second time. It will not work anymore.” Yu Qi explained.
