Tales Of Demons And Go...What Is This !

Nie Lan met up with Xiao Ning'er the next day, it was a simple transaction. She just gave the cultivation technique to her and stayed a bit to watch the scenery. Xiao Ning'er sitting side-by-side to Nie Lan had her heart racing and she was putting her mind to work overtime.

'What am I doing? We're both girls, she wouldn't like me...' Xiao Ning'er felt like she was inferior because her family has dictated her life for her. She did not have any choices and it was inevitable to be married to Shen Fei, even though in her heart she deeply hoped for some ray of light at the end of the tunnel.

She kept taking quick glances towards Nie Lan because of these doubts of hers and the more she looked the more she fell in love with the perfect features that were on Nie Lan's body.

Meanwhile, Nie Lan was also thinking similar things as she had put her mind in distress. She did not know if she still liked women but she felt like she definitely did not like men.

'That kiss...Xiao Ning'er...Ziyun...but I'm a girl now.' Nie Lan's doubts were from her relations with various girls and also her gender identification.

Nie Lan might not know what she likes but seeing this girl, glancing at her every few breaths, taking soft breaths to try to hide her presence thinking that Nie Lan would not notice. It was...cute, Xiao Ning'er was cute and Nie Lan admitted the fact. She felt like she just wanted to be with her, whether this emotion was love or simply like. Nie Lan decided to increase her 'meetings' with Xiao Ning'er and also solve her problem with the Sacred family.

It was soon dark before they realized because they were deep in thought and enjoyed each other's company so they just said their goodbyes and things like "see you at school".

--------

The week passed and Nie Lan and Xiao Ning'er were on good terms to be speaking everyday. The guys were looking on to this scenery of beauty and beauty and were content just staring at the interactions. While Ziyun was feeling a bitter feeling...jealousy perhaps...but for whom?

It was time for the auction that elder sis had promised her so they met up in front of the Alchemy Association and left towards the auction hall.

At this point Nie Lan was plenty rich as the Alchemy Association had bought out the Purple Mist Grass slowly over the span of a week and distributed it after they announced the effects that they had over the next. The profits that were gained greatly boosted the Alchemy Association's standings as this was considered a new medicinal concoction breakthrough. The many effects that were gotten from lowly herbs had boosted the fame of the association by basically saying, "we do good research".

However, Nie Lan had a feeling that she would not get anything worth her time here, but she was here for the auction of her pills so she might as well be here.

They made their way up to the VIP section as the Alchemy Association's standings have always been good but now it is great so if they did not have it, many other families wouldn't be worthy.

Nie Lan enjoyed these seats, as this was a new environment, she had seen auction houses but this was Glory City's auction house. Back in her first life, the Heavenly Marks family was a declining family so such an auction would be simple humiliation, but now she had the backing of a great power in Glory City not to mention her personal savings.

The auction soon began, Nie Lan had seen many items such as armors, weapons, pills, etc. but all these were just junk in her eyes. She had seen better equipment, not to mention she disdains the inscription patterns that were engraved on to them.

Nie Lan was bored out of her mind so she went into a daze as she thought about her interactions with Xiao Ning'er. It was settled, she liked her, Xiao Ning'er was gentle, kind, caring, and cute.

However, Nie Lan did not want to push her into doing things she did not want, Ning'er was too kind that she would probably do it if pushed hard enough. Nie Lan was thinking of how to get closer than they already are, to push their relationship one step ahead.

However, time does not wait for no one, her pills were finally put up in the auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have the honor of presenting pills from the Alchemy Association. We have these Soul Tempering Pills. Before you ask we'll give a brief history. In the past, the Sacred Empire Era had many pills that boosted cultivation for all the citizens, this pill was one of them! Yes that's right, an ancient pill has appeared in Glory City and we are auctioning it. This Soul Tempering Pill has ten times the effects of a Soul Assembly Pill. That means 10 times the cultivation for the same time it takes for one pill."

The crowd was ecstatic as they did not think such a precious pill was to be auctioned off. They thought that this was a miraculous breakthrough for Glory City. That there'd be a new era with these new pills.

"We have three bottles of 10 pills each up for three separate lots, we shall begin the bidding for them now."

A bidding war went on as many different families kept raising the prices. The first lot was sold to the Snow Wind family, the biggest family in the city as they were the City Lord's manor.

The second, for a slightly higher price was sold to the Sacred Family, as expected of the next biggest as they own a bunch of buildings within Glory City.

However, before the second bidding was concluded, Yang Xin asked Nie Lan, "Do you want to raise the prices higher?" with a slight mischievous tone.

Nie Lan did not miss that but was slightly curious, "How will you do that?" the second bid has just completed.

Nie Lan was beckoned over by Yang Xin before she was startled by the yell, "Ahem! Fellow citizens, may I have your attention for one moment?"

Everyone turned towards the VIP balcony that Nie Lan was on only to be stunned for a few breaths by Nie Lan since she was standing to the side of Yang Xin.

"Our Alchemy Association has submitted those pills to the auction and would be proud to present the alchemist that made them," Yang Xin's smile turned more into an evil smirk as she pulled Nie Lan to the forefront, "our dear Miss Nie has concocted these pills personally through hard work and SWEAT and blood, we the Alchemy Association are proud to show off our youngest Alchemy Master ever!"

BOOM, the entire crowd was stunned as they heard these words. However it did not take long before a voice came through the crowd's silence.

"200 thousand!" this was a random person who was in the stands down below that shouted this number.

However, this was quickly drowned out by the other bids as they kept raising. First it went to 300 thousand then it quickly increased.

The final bid for the pills was 1.5 million demon spirit coins which was over 4 times the actual cost of the pills. These bids were naturally from young masters showing off their wealth, they were unleashed beasts once they saw and heard that a goddess had personally concocted these pill. They had gone crazed by the pubescent hormones that they had as they were a bit rowdy.

Nie Lan was scared by this and swore to never believe elder sis ever again... she sold her out...

After the pills, there were plenty of other items but surprisingly, none of these reached the same price as the last batch of pills that had been sold.

She was ready to leave with a detached expression on her face as she believed that there were no real treasure.

"Everyone, I'd like to present our last item of the day" pulling off a curtain there is a reveal, "this pot is an ancient artifact that has been recently found in a ruins. There is no proof of it's uses but it does reveal an aura that cannot be faked. This item is definitely a treasure that has a profound mystery behind it."

Everyone was a bit discouraged at this item because it was undoubtedly going to be sold for quite a fortune but no one knows its usage.

No one, but Nie Lan, her eyes were sparkling as she recognized this pot, it was the Nightmare Demon Pot!
