She had just come out of the auction house today, so how could she not know that it sold medicinal pills? But they were clearly looking down on her.

Chi Shuyan also had no intention of selling her medicinal pills now. Although she usually had a good temper, she wasn't someone to be provoked. Since the other party had said so, she didn't intend to force it, so she turned around and left.

The lady of the Jing family had thought that Chi Shuyan would beg her, but even if she did, she wouldn't consider it either. It was just that she didn't look like an alchemist, and refining pills wasn't something just anyone could do.

So, when she saw her leave, Jing Yunting only instructed the attendant at the counter, “In the future, tell the security guards at the door not to let just anyone in!”

Chi Shuyan's eyes and ears were sharp, so she naturally heard the woman's words. Her face turned cold, and with a pinch of her fingers, a fire dragon suddenly flew out at an alarming speed, barely brus.h.i.+ng past Jing Yunting's ear. Unfortunately, a lot of her black hair was still burned.

By the time Jing Yunting reacted, her face had already turned completely pale. The thought that the fire just now could have directly burned her face scared her witless. The face of the attendant at the counter next to her also turned pale. Only then did they realize that they had provoked an iron plate today, and their faces were filled with trepidation.

Fortunately, the manager of the auction house pharmacy came out. He was a shrewd, middle-aged man in his forties, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Someone had just told him what happened, and now, the middle-aged man apologized sincerely to Chi Shuyan. He also recognized her as the person who had come with the Ninth Master of the Qi family during the day.

He really didn't expect this little girl to have such abilities. Before she could leave, he hurriedly said, “Miss Chi, it was a misunderstanding today. I'm really sorry. If you want to sell pills now, I'll immediately help you appraise them. I can auction them for you tomorrow!”

This middle-aged man's surname was Qian and not Jing, but he was someone who was very good with his words.

Jing Yunting was one of the eldest daughters of the Jing family and quite pampered. She also had cultivation talent as a Celestial Master, so she was sent to oversee the auction house in the capital.

She had never suffered such a grievance before. Recalling how the woman in front of her had almost burned her face and disfigured her, Jing Yunting reacted furiously and fearfully. “Uncle Qian, this woman almost disfigured me! Why does the Jing family want her pills? What pills can she possibly make?”

“Shut up! Miss Jing, since she came to my auction house, she is our esteemed guest!” Qian Zhengde's face changed drastically and he immediately scolded Jing Yunting.

He had seen many things in the world and had seen many low-key people who didn't reveal their talents. Most of them were people with real abilities, but the little girl in front of him gave him a very different feeling from those people. Maybe this little girl was an alchemist.

Moreover, the world currently lacked pill formulas, and medicinal pills were extremely rare. It was extremely rare to encounter an alchemist with a bit of skill. Even if this little girl in front of him wasn't an alchemist, what harm was there in testing her a little?

Jing Yunting wasn't happy at being reprimanded by Qian Zhengde, and her face was very unsightly.

If it wasn't for the fact that this was the only auction house Chi Shuyan knew of, and she still had to buy pill bottles, she really would have walked away. She sneered at the woman surnamed Jing in front of her and mocked, “I don't know how to refine pills? How do you know I don't know how to refine pills? Is it because I don't look like an alchemist, or I don't dress like one?” Without waiting for Qian Zhengde to say anything, Chi Shuyan continued, “So this is what a n.o.ble auction house is like. You look at the alchemist and not the pill. I, Chi Shuyan, have learned this lesson! I won't come again!”
