Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 789 The Legend of the Dark River 14

Feng Ling felt a little uncomfortable looking at him: "Don't keep staring at me like that, look down there."

"Feng Ling, I'm really curious, who exactly did you study under? How did you learn so much and have such outstanding talent in every area?"

Su Changhe felt that he had a good eye for talent, as he had set his sights on the most outstanding people from the very beginning.

"I don't have a master; I just like to tinker with little gadgets when I'm bored."

Learning some skills is necessary for a long journey through time, even though she doesn't seem to have many opportunities to use them.

There's nothing you can do about being strong; that sounds a bit like Versailles, but thankfully she only thought it to herself and didn't say it aloud.

Bai Hehuai chuckled: "These little gadgets are not simple at all. How come you make it sound like you can learn them so easily?"

Feng Ling simply smiled and remained silent in response; these were things that many people in the cultivation world could do.

Hearing everyone's discussion, Liu Ying continued to explain the functions of the two talismans: "The teleportation talisman can be used to escape in times of crisis, allowing you to instantly travel thousands of miles away, while the invisibility talisman makes you invisible. Once used, even if you stand in front of someone, no one can see you."

"To travel a thousand miles in an instant? That's incredible!"

"The invisibility is also very powerful, making it suitable for spies to gather information."

“Teleportation array? The Imperial Advisor is also skilled in arrays, but even if he wants to teleport thousands of miles away, it's not as convenient as this teleportation talisman.”

Inside the private room number three on the third floor, Zhuo Qing spoke to the eldest prince, Xiao Yong.

Xiao Yong nodded: "The Breakthrough Pill was stolen just now, but I must bid for this Teleportation Talisman."

"I still don't want Yong'er to ever need a teleportation talisman."

"It's always good to be safe than sorry."

If he were to lose his battle with the Prince of Langya, having a teleportation talisman would at least allow him to save his life.

Liu Ying: "The starting bid for the teleportation talisman is 500,000 taels. Everyone, please begin bidding."

"One million taels," Xiao Yong offered directly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying spoke up: "The distinguished guest in private room number three on the third floor has offered one million taels directly."

"Who is it that raised the price so much from the very beginning?"

"Shh, the people on the third floor are no ordinary people."

"One million five hundred thousand taels." Someone else on the second floor also made a bid.

"Two million taels," Xiao Yong continued to bid.

"Three million taels."

Five million taels.

The two argued, and finally Xiao Yong offered five million taels of silver, which calmed the people on the second floor down.

"The distinguished guest in private room number three on the third floor has offered five million taels. Is there anyone else bidding?" Liu Ying announced as usual.

Su Changhe then began to bid: "I'll offer six million taels."

"Private room number one on the third floor, bid six million taels."

Xiao Yong's smile faltered: "Who exactly is in this private room number one? They've taken so many photos today, and they're still taking more."

The person standing behind him spoke up: "Your Highness, after entering, everyone was directly teleported to a private room, and we couldn't see the people inside."

"Six million taels, the second time," came the voice of firefly.

Xiao Yong continued, "Seven million taels."

"Room number one on the third floor, offered seven million taels."

Su Changhe continued to bid: "Eight million taels."

"Nine million taels."

"Ten million."

"Eleven million taels," Xiao Yong continued to raise the price.

Seeing that the two were adding more and more people, Su Muyu spoke up to advise, "Changhe, this teleportation talisman..."

“We have to film it. There are still many things to face if we want to reach the other side of the underground river. I don’t want to see anyone get hurt.”

After saying that, he shouted out, "Twelve million taels!"

Hearing his words, Su Muyu stopped trying to persuade him. Their Dark River was no longer what it used to be, and he didn't want to see any more sacrifices.

Bai Hehuai was quiet, while Su Zhe held his pipe and took one puff after another.

Feng Ling thought about the later plot and realized that this teleportation talisman might actually prevent the deaths of the Mu family in the Dark River.

Finally, Su Changhe paid 25 million taels to obtain the teleportation talisman.

Xiao Yong was furious. He hadn't brought that many silver notes with him, so who knew the person in room number one had brought so many?

Actually, Su Changhe didn't bring that many items. He had previously ordered antidotes, beauty pills, and barrier-breaking pills.

Who knew that when he tried to bid for a teleportation scroll, he would encounter someone who kept bidding against him, which was completely beyond his budget.

However, considering what he had just said for his companions in the Dark River, Feng Ling agreed to let him pay on credit, as long as it was delivered that day.

At the same time, she never expected that a talisman could fetch such a price at auction.

It just so happens that there were two people who never gave up, which drove the price higher and higher – that's where the auctions make their money.

In response, Su Changhe feigned embarrassment and said, "According to your rules, you shouldn't be able to buy on credit. Am I making things difficult for you?"

"Well, so you're not going to give up, are you?" Feng Ling teased him, seeing that he wasn't embarrassed at all.

Su Changhe pretended not to hear and said to himself, "I feel really guilty for making things difficult for you. How about I make it up to you by offering myself to you?"

"No, you're repaying kindness with enmity."

Bai Hehuai laughed at him: "Hahahaha, Su Changhe, you have a thick skin. You're the kind of person who takes an inch and then a mile."

"Changhe's personality seems to have always been like this," Su Muyu said jokingly.

"Knock knock~" A knocking sound suddenly rang out, and they realized that the auction had ended and the invisibility talisman had been sold.

"They're here to deliver something," Feng Ling explained, then called out to the outside, "Come in."

Liu Ying led three people carrying trays into the room.

"Lord of the city, the pills that Young Master Su won at the auction have all been delivered."

Su Changhe stood up, first taking out a thick stack of silver notes from his pocket, and then another stack from his sleeve.

"Here are thirty million taels of silver notes. We still need seven and a half million taels. I'll bring them over later."

Liu Ying glanced at the city lord, and Feng Ling nodded to her: "Let him pay on credit, and he can deliver it later."

"Yes, Lord City Lord." After putting the things down, she left with her people.

Su Changhe put away everything else on the tray and then placed the bottle of beauty pills in front of Feng Ling.

"This is the Beauty Elixir. Can I pour some out and take a look?" Bai Hehuai asked curiously, looking at the white porcelain bottle.

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling nodded immediately: "Okay."

"Thank you." As soon as Bai Hehuai poured out the pills, the group smelled a pleasant aroma.

The Beauty Pill is a snow-white pill that not only emits a fragrance but also has faint golden patterns on it.

"This pill doesn't look like an ordinary one," Su Muyu said, a rare occurrence for her.

Bai Hehuai leaned closer and sniffed: "I can't smell what's added to it."

"Yes, it doesn't contain ordinary medicinal herbs, but rare herbs with spiritual energy," Feng Ling explained.

It's not actually that rare, it's just that it doesn't exist in this world; she planted many of them in her space.
