It was the Academy’s day off, and the market was particularly lively.

Feng Zhi strolled around and heard the shouts of the vendors. She took the opportunity to walk over, but unexpectedly, she saw a figure that she detested…

Enemies! How come I can meet her everywhere?

Feng Zhi cursed in her heart. She saw Feng Lan stop in front of the crystal stall with two or three servants.

“Miss! I see that you have a strong bloodline. Do you want to buy some crystals to help with your cultivation? It’s a high-quality product! It’s definitely worth it!”

The stall vendor looked at Feng Lan with a bright light and lied.

“Do you have any fire-type magic crystals?” Feng Lan lowered her voice and looked around sneakily.

The stall vendor immediately understood and asked, “how much do you want?”

“Give it all to me!”

The money bag filled with gold coins was thrown to the stall. The stall owner hurriedly pushed out nearly a hundred fire element magic crystals. He was so happy that he could not close his mouth. This business was worth it!

Feng Zhi frowned and muttered in puzzlement, “what does she want to do?”

“Could it be!”

She suddenly remembered that Father Feng had mentioned to her during their chat that if she wanted to quickly level up, there was a way by crazily using refining element crystals!

Feng Zhi’s heart was faintly moved. She pondered and came to the stall next door. She asked, “do you have water element magic crystals?”

She held two magic crystals that were of good quality. She was excited, conflicted, and hesitant!

She needed to quickly become stronger in a short period of time. She had no other way! Just as she was about to take out the gold coins, the voice of the demon dragon suddenly sounded in her mind!

“Little girl, you have thought it through! the demon dragon said in a deep voice, seemingly a little disappointed.

“Although you can level up by relying on magic crystals, I’m afraid that your skills won’t be stable in the later stages. It might become a burden. There’s also the possibility of falling into the devil…”

The demon dragon warned. Feng Zhi clenched her fists tightly, and the magic crystals hurt in her palm. She took a few deep breaths and handed the magic crystals back to the stall owner apologetically.

At this stage, even though she was anxious, she could not afford any failure!

“Hey, isn’t this the young miss of the Feng Family? What’s wrong? You can’t even afford two water-type magic crystals? How pitiful!”

Feng Zhi wanted to leave, but she heard a mocking voice beside her.

One of Feng Lan’s followers had good eyesight. When he noticed her, he immediately said loudly, “You can’t even afford the cheapest water-type magic crystals, and you still want to advance?”

“In your dreams! When the exam comes, Hurry up and pack your things and get out of here. I feel ashamed to be in the same Academy as you!”

The follower looked at Feng Lan ingratiatingly and looked at her through the air. Feng Zhi smiled coldly and did not intend to bicker with them.

Last night, she had heard Ye Meng mention that there was a shop in the city that would hold an auction. Feng Zhi had secretly memorized it and thought of letting her sell the fire element magic crystals that she had obtained from fighting magical beasts. Perhaps she could exchange them for some gold coins. With money in her pocket, she would have the confidence!

This was the main purpose of her strolling around!

Walking a few more steps, Feng Zhi was about to ask for directions when she raised her head and saw the plaque made of pure gold right in front of her. She could not help but sigh. Sure enough, there is money here!

As she slowly walked in, the auction had already started. She chose a corner seat and ordered two pots of green tea to call for the running hall.

“Find us two good seats! If there are any fruits and snacks, bring them all out!”

A noisy voice came from the door.

Feng Zhi saw Feng Lan and her little sidekick. She facepalmed. Why could she not get rid of them?

However, she thought about it and took out the fire element magic crystal, smiling faintly.

With Feng Lan as a sucker, she could sell it for a good price!

Feng Zhi gestured to the attendant and handed the magic crystal to him to sell on his behalf. She whispered in his ear and asked, “do you remember it?”

“Don’t worry, miss!”

The attendant ran to the stage from behind and handed the item to the auctioneer. He also passed Feng Zhi’s advice to the auctioneer.

Skill books, weapons, whips, and other items were sold one by one. Finally, it was the fire element magic crystal’s turn.

The auctioneer said, “this item is for sale by our shop. It’s a high-grade fire-type magic crystal with pure spiritual energy. If you want to cultivate your fire-type bloodline, it’s an excellent item! You can shorten the time for advancement. The starting price is 200 gold coins!”

“As the price is not low, please start the auction carefully. For cultivators from large sects, you can’t miss it!” the auctioneer urged.

“This is too expensive… only rich people can afford it…”

“Even if it is a high-grade magic crystal, the starting price should not be 200 gold coins!!”

The audience was full of complaints.

However, the little follower kept urging Feng Lan.

“Second young miss Feng, it suits you too much! Only you are worthy of this magic crystal!”

“The power of this magic crystal is pure. Besides, you are the only genius of the Feng clan and you don’t care about this little money. Why don’t you just buy it?”

Feng Lan could not get excited and was afraid of losing face. She clenched her teeth and raised her hand. “200 gold coins!”

The hammer fell! The deal was sold for two hundred gold coins!

“Money and goods, two hundred! No refunds!” The auctioneer ordered the waiter to pass the gold coins to Feng Zhi.

With this, Feng Lan saw Feng Zhi sitting in the shadow in the corner. She was so angry that her eyes were red. She wanted to crush the fire element magic crystal!

So it was this b* tch’s magic crystal. Feng Zhi deliberately cheated her money!?

“Ha, good sister. After all, it was bought with money. Cherish it well!”

“You have always been smart. I thought you would haggle the price. I didn’t expect…”

Feng Zhi weighed the money bag and smiled. “Thank you!”

Feng Lan, “…”

After the matter was settled, Feng Zhi got up and was about to leave. However, she heard the auctioneer’s excited voice as he said, “Next, the item for auction is a fragment of the Philosopher’s Stone. It’s rare to see such a treasure!”

“!”

Feng Zhi turned around and stared at the item in the glass box!
