When the Princess of Qiongzhou, Jiang Yixin, saw Jiang Changqiu take the initiative to retreat, a mocking glint flashed across her eyes. Then, she snorted coldly and led the crowd into the hall.

As for the Xiangzhou nobles, they saw that Jiang Changqiu had suffered a loss and did not dare to speak further. They all lowered their heads and returned to their seats.

Although these people could be considered powerful figures in the Xiangzhou region, when compared to the Qiongzhou Royal Jiang Clan, they were like heaven and earth. There was no way they could compare.

"The royal family of Qiongzhou, the Jiang family?" Ye Qing looked at Jiang Yixin as he pondered in his heart.

The words of Guild Leader Cao made him recall some matters from his previous life.

It seemed as if the old king of Qiongzhou had passed away in the founding year of the Tang Dynasty, that is, next year.

Because of this, Emperor Tang even wrote a memorial service to mourn the world, and even sent a crown prince to Qiongzhou to pray for the death of the country's ruler.

"No wonder a princess of Qiongzhou would come to Hengyang City of the Tang Nation to crazily sweep through all sorts of expensive 100-year-old medicinal herbs." Ye Qing shook his head.

For the old king of Qiongzhou, a mortal who was almost ninety years old, he had already reached the end of his lifespan. His life force was completely depleted, and it was impossible for him to redeem the fact that he had died.

After all, this was a destiny that had been predestined for all living things from the moment they were born.

With regards to this predetermined fate, using a few hundred years of medicine to stimulate her would only cause her to drink poison to quench her thirst; it was simply not able to extend her lifespan by a few minutes.

Only elixirs refined by immortals, such as the Rank 4 elixir 'Three Purities Life Continuing Pill', the Rank 5 elixir 'Three Lives Creation Pill', and the Rank 6 elixir 'Profound Stealing Pill', could greatly extend one's life.

Especially the 'Profound Stealing Pill'. If a mortal was lucky enough to obtain one, its heaven-defying medicinal effects were enough to restore their youth, and their longevity and heaven and earth would be eternal.

It was a pity that Ye Qing didn't have any medicinal materials to concoct the Life Continuing Pill, otherwise, he would be able to casually refine a grade two medicinal pill, the Small Life Continuing Pill, and could fiercely kill the Qiongzhou Kingdom's Jiang Clan.

"Master Ye, shall we take a seat as well?" Jiang Changqiu asked for instructions in a low voice.

"Yes." Ye Qing nodded.

In next to no time, the auction started.

The first item up for auction was an old ginseng that weighed about two hundred years and weighed about three taels. The starting price was five hundred thousand taels of silver.

However, just as the auctioneer on the stage started to announce the auction price, Princess Jiang Yixin of Qiongzhou directly bought it at a high price of three million silver taels.

'As expected of the Royal family of Qiongzhou. They sure are wealthy! '

Many people sighed in their hearts.

In the following auctions, Jiang Yixin repeatedly made her moves. Each time, she directly threw out a high price, scaring away all the buyers.

After all, those who came to the auction were basically all here to collect medicinal herbs or to sell them to other places. They were not in a hurry to do so, so no one would offend the royal family of Qiongzhou because of such a small matter.

As a result, most of the auction ended with Jiang Yixin going solo.

The rest of the people in the auction hall had all been reduced to spectators as they quietly watched her buy medicinal plants one after another at a high price, causing the atmosphere in the auction hall to become extremely awkward.

Ye Qing was also quietly sitting there. From the start of the auction until now, he had not bid a single price. He only looked at the sixteen year old Jiang Yixin and seemed to be planning something.

"Cough, cough …" "Everyone, be careful. The next batch of ingredients needs to test your eyesight."

On the auction stage, the auctioneer pulled the red cloth off the tray in the maid's hand, revealing a black hard block with a strange shape. It looked like a piece of tree root.
