The next day, Feng Tianlan was awoken by a voice so forthright and impatient that it could have only belonged to Luo Yunzhu.
"Tianlan, Tianlan!" Luo Yunzhu went straight into the room and dragged Feng Tianlan out from her bed. "We need to go quickly."
"Go where?" Feng Tianlan was mildly amused by Luo Yunzhu's uncharacteristic boldness. Besides, she hadn't even gotten dressed yet.
"There's an auction today. Apparently, the Ruyi Trade House is putting up Marrow Cleansing Pills for sale, and the Tianhai Trade House is auctioning off Beautifying Pills. We've got to get there quickly before they're all gone!" said Luo Yunzhu anxiously.
"I'm not dressed yet." Feng Tianlan controlled her laughter. "Also, I'm not interested." If she bought back the Marrow Cleansing Pills that she herself had sold, that would be a really dumb move.
"Then, quickly, get dressed!"
Luo Yunzhu looked back at Feng Tianlan and realized that she was still in her undergarments. She dragged her back into the room, pulled out a few clothes from the cupboard, and told her to hurry up. Feng Tianlan continued to stifle her laughter as she put on the clothes.
"And there are Spirit Boosting Pills available
Feng Tianlan's hand froze, and she looked at Luo Yunzhu in wonder. She thought to herself, She really wants to bid for these incredibly expensive items for me?
Luo Yunzhu caught Feng Tianlan's expression and said with a laugh, "Don't worry about the money. I've prepared more than enough, so I'll definitely get them."
She had promised her father that if he managed to get these three items, she would start cla.s.ses at the Blue Flame Academy. After that, if he still thought that Tianlan was a good-for-nothing, she would cut all ties with him. This was an awful arrangement. Even if the chances of success were slim, she still wanted to try her best.
As for whether this scheme would help Tianlan advance her skills, that was entirely up to Tianlan. But even if Tianlan remained a good-for-nothing in the end, Luo Yunzhu would rather give up her right to inherit the Blue Flame Academy than give up on Tianlan. Tianlan was the one who had helped her through her loneliest moment. Now, Tianlan was at her loneliest and most helpless. Even if it cost her everything, Luo Yunzhu wanted to stand by Tianlan.
"Yunzhu, I don't need any Marrow Cleansing Pills, but you do. Once you cleanse your marrow and train well, then you can take over the Blue Flame Academy and n.o.body will bully you anymore."
Feng Tianlan was truly touched by what Luo Yunzhu said. Marrow Cleansing Pills, Beautifying Pills, and Spirit Boosting Pills were all considered treasures on the Guiyuan Continent. Yunzhu was actually willing to buy all three just for her.
Marrow Cleansing Pills and Spirit Boosting Pills were pills that any Spiritual Master would want to keep for him or herself. Yunzhu could have greatly benefited from these pills. But, instead, the first person she'd thought of when she heard these items were up for auction was Feng Tianlan. Such a good friend was her greatest blessing!
Luo Yunzhu did not understand what Feng Tianlan was driving at. She took Feng Tianlan's hand in hers and said earnestly, "You need this more than me. Besides, since one Marrow Cleansing Pill has appeared in South Peace City, I'm sure there will be more. I'll just buy it when it appears again."
"Yunzhu." Feng Tianlan was really touched - even having just one friend like this was already a blessing.
Luo Yunzhu saw that she had finished getting dressed, so she pulled her outside and jokingly threatened her, "Don't you dare reject me. Otherwise, we're not friends anymore, and I'm never talking to you again."
"Yunzhu." Feng Tianlan stopped smiling and tugged harder at Luo Yunzhu. "You really don't have to waste this money."
