Ning Qi easily defeated a group of unruly guests, including a young man and his entourage. The young man returned with a powerful middle-aged man, his "Third Uncle," who was at the Half-step True Immortal stage. However, Ning Qi's overwhelming aura and perception of the middle-aged man's imminent breakthrough caused the group to back down and leave.

"It also comes from the outside world!"

"It’s a snow lotus."

"It’s said that with it, one can refine a top-grade pill!"

At this moment, the auctioneer began the auction again.

"What snow lotus?"

"Bring it out for everyone to see!"

"..."

It immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The Medicine Spirit, hearing of the spirit medicine, also became interested.

Leaning forward to check out the situation.

"Bring it up!"

The auctioneer instructed a staff member.

Soon, a staff brought out a snow lotus.

And then opened the brocade box containing the snow lotus.

The entire snow lotus was crystal clear, not like a plant at all.

More like it was condensed from the essence of heaven and earth, gathered and nurtured.

The Medicine Spirit took one look and confidently said, "Such ignorance, this is not just any snow lotus."

"This is a thousand-year spirit lotus."

"Although it was indeed nurtured in the snowy mountains, it absorbs the essence of sun and moon."

"It has nothing to do with the ice attribute, but its growth environment gives it some ice attribute."

"Using this can purify the human body."

"If one’s corrupted by infinite evil qi, it can be purified!"

Staring at the thousand-year spirit lotus below, the Medicine Spirit couldn’t help showing a hopeful expression, "If I could consume it, I would become even stronger!"

"Do you want it?"

Hearing this, Ning Qi couldn’t help but smile and asked.

"Of course, this is a rare opportunity."

"Master, can you help me get it?"

The Medicine Spirit nodded vigorously, looking at Ning Qi eagerly.

"Why not?"

Ning Qi looked below and then said, "Let them wait for a price, I’ll get it for you."

"Thank you, Master!"

Hearing Ning Qi’s words, the Medicine Spirit gratefully kowtowed repeatedly.

"Don’t play that trick!"

"Just don’t cause trouble for me in the future."

Ning Qi rolled his eyes at him, then looked down again.

"This snow lotus, the starting bid is five million spirit stones."

"It’s top-grade spirit stones! Those in need can start bidding now!"

After the auctioneer waited for the discussions to subside, he began to speak.

"Six million!"

"Six and a half million."

"Eight million!"

"..."

The people below began bidding one after another.

Each was determined to win.

Not giving in to each other.

"Fifteen million!"

As everyone was flushed with competition, Ning Qi spoke up.

"Who?"

"Who is that bastard, bidding so recklessly!"

"Doubling it outright, he’s here to cause trouble!"

"..."

After he placed the bid, many people looked over at him.

Anger filled their eyes.

If it weren’t for the restriction protecting him, they would have rushed up to confront him long ago.

"Twenty million!"

After Ning Qi’s bid, the crowd hadn’t reacted yet.

In another box, someone continued to increase the bid.

"Five hundred thousand!"

At that moment, Ning Qi offered another price.

The people below chuckled at him.

"They already bid twenty million, and you’re still at five hundred thousand."

"This kid is clearly here to cause trouble."

"Aren’t you going to handle him?"

"..."

Many people began to mock him.

Some even shouted for the auction to deal with Ning Qi.

"I meant five hundred thousand spiritual marrow, not spirit stones."

As people begun their discussions, Ning Qi added, "Those who are not satisfied can continue, using spirit stones is a waste of time."

"What, spiritual marrow?"

"There’s not much of that in the entire lower realm, yet he’s trading with precious spiritual marrow?"

"This kid is crazy."

"He’s definitely here to cause trouble."

"..."

This time, the discussions grew louder.

Everyone awaited the spectacle with curiosity.

"If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you!"

"Auctioneer, catch."

Ning Qi, uninterested in arguing with them, tossed a storage bag down.

"Swish!"

The auctioneer caught it deftly and explored it with divine sense.

His face immediately showed shock.

"How is it?"

"What’s inside?"

"Spiritual marrow?"

"..."

Those curious about the happenings bombarded him with questions.

Everyone’s faces were full of curiosity.

"Inside this is ten million spiritual marrow."

The auctioneer swallowed hard and said with difficulty.

"Right, those not convinced, keep bidding against me, if not, it’s five hundred thousand spiritual marrow."

"Additionally, the extra, if there are good items later, I’ll auction them too!"

Ning Qi said to everyone in his box, "Don’t be so timid, if you’re going to bid against me, do it with courage."

After his provoking words, no one dared to continue bidding against him.

Spiritual marrow was a rare presence among them.

Ten thousand spiritual marrow equaled fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones.

This was the basic exchange method.

However, spiritual marrow was rare, now even at ten thousand for one hundred thousand, it was untraded.

Some would even offer fifteen thousand top-grade spirit stones to exchange, but couldn’t acquire it.

It’s not that the offer was too low, but simply unavailable.

This item was controlled by large families and sects; ordinary people could only dream of acquiring it.

"Five hundred thousand, sold!"

Knowing others couldn’t offer such a price, the auctioneer conceded.

This generous young master offered far more than the snow lotus was worth.

"Master, in the Immortal Door, forget five hundred thousand spiritual marrow, you couldn’t even get a leaf of this thousand-year spirit lotus with ten times that."

"It’s only in such poor areas that no one can recognize its value!"

The Medicine Spirit smiled and said, "But, you did offer a bit too much spiritual marrow, aren’t you worried these people will cause us trouble?"

"Here is hidden, who can know I’m here?"

Ning Qi disdainfully smiled, then said to those below, "Let’s exchange money for goods."

"Bring the snow lotus to me."

"Okay, sending it over now!"

The auctioneer agreed with a nod to the staff member.

The staff quickly covered the brocade box and hurriedly left.

Clearly, to bring the snow lotus to Ning Qi.

After some time, the staff finally reached the upper floor.

After entering, he quickly walked over.

"Young Master, your snow lotus."

The staff stepped forward, respectfully placing the snow lotus and brocade box on Ning Qi’s table.

"Good!"

Ning Qi simply nodded, "You may leave."

"Yes!"

The staff bowed and quickly exited.

Looking at it, Ning Qi pointed at the snow lotus, "Alright, go ahead and consume it!"

"Thank you, Master!"

The Medicine Spirit, extremely excited, rushed forward.

Opening its mouth wide and swallowing the thousand-year spirit lotus in one gulp.

The thousand-year spirit lotus swirled inside its stomach for a while, and eventually, it visibly shrank.

In just a few breaths, it disappeared completely.

At this moment, the Medicine Spirit lay on Ning Qi’s shoulder.

"So full!"

It even burped.

Overall, its body appeared more translucent.

Almost like the thousand-year spirit lotus had possessed it.

"Is it over?"

"Didn’t get stronger?"

Looking at the Medicine Spirit, Ning Qi showed a disappointed expression, "This treasure was fed to a dog!"

"Master, don’t say that, I’ve gotten stronger, and it’ll benefit you too!"

"The spiritual qi and life aura I emit can help with revival!"

The Medicine Spirit pouted, "While following you, I can help replenish your stamina during battles and even your immortal demon power consumption!"

"Oh? Really that powerful?"

Curious, Ning Qi examined the Medicine Spirit closely, "Seems my spiritual marrow was well spent!"

"Of course!"

The Medicine Spirit proudly said, "I am a medicine spirit of tens of thousands of years; my value is high!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, our next auction item also comes from the outside!"

While the two chatted, the auctioneer below spoke again.
