However, on hearing the earlier part of the attendant’s statement and apart from Han Sheng been negligent in his information gathering ability there was a tiny area in Jiang’s heart that thought this might have happen because he was been looked down on, not that this will matter on a regular basic but Jiang couldn’t helped feeling slighted when he thought about this since he believed he was been seen as someone undeserving to be the emperor’s future partner, this was what Jiang hated the most and this realization about how much he wanted to stand on equal footing with the emperor and even stand by his side forever shocked Jiang to no end.

Jiang didn’t wish to dwell so much on that thought, he had things he needed to be taken care of right now.

 Jiang said and then turned to Han Sheng seating beside him and this Han Sheng did and handed the pills over to the attendant.

The attendants eyes grew excited when he saw the pills the attendant said as he opened the bottle containing the pills, the medicinal aroma of the pills instantly covered the small auction private room which made the attendant’s eyes grow even more wild in surprise because of how thick the aroma was the attendant exclaimed in excitement like the auction house had just hit a jackpot, the reason for this odd behavior was simply because the auction house only had low grade quality of these two pills with seventy or so percent purity been auctioned which made the effect of the pill low but even at that, these pills was still a highly sort after product by the maids and eunuchs of the palace, they practically went crazy whenever these two pills were available for sale at the eastern palace treasury because it did be hard for them to get them out there, also these two pills were somewhat rare especially the enhancement pill that could make a person make a significant leap in rank during cultivation at a critical moment or if lucky the leap might just be in realm.

Most alchemist with such good quality pills usually offered their product to the no difference pavilion because there they will be paid more handsomely, so seeing a medium grade pill even if it had ten percent purity was really a big deal for the eastern treasury palace.

 the attendant determinedly said but his hands held on to the pill bottle like he didn’t want to ever let go of it.

Jiang didn’t want to burst the attendant’s bubbles but had to state the truth of the matter since he clearly understood what grade of pills he had concocted because Hua Jingshen had told him, the spirit in his space, cultivating to become mortal and perhaps enter the path of immortality like every other mortal wishes the attendant looked at Jiang like he was talking nonsense but he didn’t say anything to refute Jiang’s words probably because he didn’t want to annoy Jiang for been a smart ass and then have Jiang take back his pills, after all, even if he had advised Jiang to sell his pills at no difference pavilion the attendant really didn’t want that to happen and preferred this outcome.

 he said and bowed slightly as he attempted leaving, but the attendant wasn’t going to leave with the pills in hand so he dropped it on the table before Jiang and Han Sheng and walked out of the auction private room they both occupied.

After Jiang was through with the attendant for the time being and since the auction won’t be starting anytime soon, Jiang decided to curb his curiosity about that strange object called a binoculars by going over to where it was inserted and sitting on the small tall stool that the attendant previously controlled to come out of the ground and sat on, once Jiang was comfortable on the tall stool he looked through the binoculars at the audience below his private room and was quite thrilled with what he noticed.

 for a brief second Jiang removed his eyes from the binocular’s and turned to face Han Sheng who was seated on the cushion before he continued looking through the object again Han Sheng reasoned

 Jiang stated casually but then something seem to have caught his attention while looking through the binoculars Jiang commented, surprise evident in his tone, a small fond smile formed on his lips hidden by his veil, ice jewel.

A knock was heard on the door to their private auction room and it drew Jiang’s attention back to the room the attendant that had just left a while ago said.

Jiang walked back to the cushion , he then took his seat, he poured himself a glass of non alcoholic wine and then took a sip of it before saying nonchalantly Han Sheng watched Jiang like he was seeing someone whose body had just been taken over by a ghost, Jiang seriously didn’t know why he had this urge to act like most nobles do, in a graceful, poise and refined way all of a sudden, maybe it had something to do with this room or maybe it was this place or just his grown confidence in himself as the emperor’s empress elect or what the benefits of being who he now was is that suddenly properly registered in his brain and caused this impromptu change in him, whatever it was he was kind of liking this feeling.

The attendant walked in with something in his hand but he didn’t look very good, he looked somewhat pale and angry, soon someone unexpectedly appeared from the side of the private room door with a huge smile plastered on his face as he said then walked in Fang Mu who hadn’t been given permission to enter the room yet.

The attendant who had led Fang Mu here fell on his knees and began to apologize The attendant uttered as he sneaked glares at Fang Mu, he couldn’t blatantly glare at him because he was aware of Fang Mu’s status, also the attendant had sugar coated what he just said because Fang Mu wasn’t so nice when asking to be taken to the empress elect room, when he had refused Fang Mu, the guy had gone straight to threatening to make his life miserable if he doesn’t do as told and since the attendant knew that Fang Mu was the emperor’s best friend and couldn’t possibly do anything to hurt the empress elect, he had taken him to Jiang’s room after seeing his unique identification which authenticated Fang Mu’s identity.

People allowed into the imperial palace on a regular basics usually had unique authentication identity plates, this was so that if an impostor manages to sneaks in it will be easy to catch said person or most likely impossible for said impostor to even sneak in the first place due to lack of said unique authentication plate.

 Jiang calmly asked, he didn’t appear a bit surprised to see Fang Mu, anyone who had the emperor as their best friend would certainly get influence in acting shameless, still in Jiang’s eyes Fang Mu was a learner when it came to been shameless hence the reason why he could easily accommodate his rude, shameless attitude of barging into where he wasn’t invited.

Fang Mu said.

Fang Mu righteously declared and that successfully shut Jiang up, Jiang even began to unreasonably wonder if maybe the emperor had sent Fang Mu to keep him company but Fang Mu knew deep down that if the emperor found out what he had done which he certainly will, Fang Mu will have to pay for his actions today because there was no way that the emperor will tolerate another man coming so close to his empress elect, tolerating Han Sheng beside Jiang was already the emperor’s limit, every other person were expected to stay a good distance away from his precious empress elect unless it was totally necessary.

Fang Mu really didn’t know why he did this today despite knowing how his friend felt about it, it was just that as he saw Jiang, his leg kind of moved on their own.

Fang Mu called out and then took his seat at the opposite side from Jiang and Han Sheng on the semi circular cushion.

Jiang brows creased since he didn’t understand at the time what Fang Mu meant but when he saw Lu Han appeared out of thin air he finally got the gist of things.

Lu Han explained and Han Sheng instantly blushed on seeing him appear, then he looked everywhere else but at the guy.

Jiang didn’t bother reprimanding him since he understood that he was just doing his duty so he said Fang Mu pouted when he heard this and said 

 Jiang glared at Fang Mu as he said this which made Fang Mu shut up.

“Thank you esteemed empress elect but I don’t think I can do that, I will just stand out here” Lu Han said

 Jiang scolded and sounded a bit cold while he was at it.

 this time around Lu Han didn’t bother disobeying, it wasn’t in his interest to aggravate the already annoyed empress elect so he sat beside Fang Mu, he will explain why he had to seat so close to the empress elect later to the emperor and he did certainly throw Fang Mu under the bus, after all, it was because of Fang Mu that he had to appear from the shadows, also Fang Mu was the cause of the mild empress elect anger, In his mind Lu Han strategized his following cause of action once the emperor returns.

Jiang gestured to the attendant to proceed with what he was here for and so the attendant walked over to the table and placed the pill measurement device there, then he opened the pill bottle with the bone marrow washing pill and removed just one pill from it and placed it inside the pill measurement device, a whole bottle had about fifteen of such pills in them and they where two bottles of the bone marrow washing pill and two bottles of the enhancement pill.

Jiang and everyone in the private auction room watched as the measurement scale on the pill device moved from zero to low grade and then eventually stopped at medium grade, there was also a scale beside the pill grading scale that was measuring the purity of the pill and it actually stopped at a hundred percent, Jiang understood what this meant but still found it unbelievable Jiang questioned.

the attendant overly excited voice echoed within the small room, then he took back the bone marrow washing pill from the device mouth and put it into the pill bottle once more, the attendant then repeated the same process with the enhancement pill which brought forth the same astonishing result.

Jiang clearly remembered that Hua Jingshen told him that at his level he could only make low grade pills with perfect purity level and he had said he didn’t want the purity level to be perfect so that he doesn’t draw attention so how did this all happen, this whole situation can only mean that the was pills grade and purity level are measured by the heavenly jade cauldron was completely different than how they were been measured in Tang Qin Shang, the heavenly jade cauldron own measurement was more strict and perhaps more precise.

After thinking more about this matter Jiang understood why the pill came out with a perfect purity level even if he didn’t want it to, he had used the pinkish greenish flames called the heavenly jade flame when making the pill and it was said that with the use of that flame when making pills the pill will certainly come out perfect, now he understands why Hua Jingshen had told him that as long as he put the ingredients for the pills correctly into the heavenly cauldron the pill will come out with perfect purity, putting the pills correctly for making any pill was a must for alchemist because if he was to do otherwise the pills won’t even be formed at all or come out as something completely different so even when Jiang had earlier said he didn’t want the pills to be perfect, it didn’t mean he will waste his pill ingredients by putting rubbish into his heavenly cauldron just so it doesn’t come out perfect, still even after putting the pills correctly Jiang didn’t believe that without him attempting to distill the pill of impurities it will actually come out with perfect purity, there was also the other aspect of this pill been identified as medium grade when he clearly remembers Hua Jingshen telling him that with his current level he could only make low grade pills.

This could only mean that the measurement of pills in Tang Qin Shang vastly differs from how it’s been measured by the heavenly jade cauldron spirit Hua Jingshen.

Jiang suddenly saw someone snap their fingers in front of his face which made him jumpy, then he saw who the culprit was and snapped 

Jiang interrupted Fang Mu from continuing speaking as he spoke to the attendant instead then he stood up from the cushion and walked over to the binoculars area again and sat on the tall small stool before saying to the attendant the attendant did as told.

Jiang smiled with his eyes as he said this to the attendant who then excused himself, then Jiang turned over to face Fang Mu who was seating on the cushion and staring at Jiang intently all this while.

 Fang Mu had wanted to say that he has the freedom to look at whatever he wants to since he was not blind, the words however where frozen on the tip of his tongue when Jiang continued saying Fang Mu faced paled once he heard this and his eyes subconsciously moved away from Jiang, for the rest of his time spent in this private auction room Fang Mu didn’t dare look at Jiang’s way again and this greatly pleased Jiang.

Fang Mu didn’t want to think about what the emperor will do to him if the empress elect reported him even if it was for something so little since even the last time’s incident was over something little, but then what made him think he had the freedom to look at the emperor’s property the way he likes, he is so lucky that the emperor wasn’t present to read his thoughts if not his eyes would have been gouged forever, that way he did learn his lesson.

Fang Mu couldn’t help but feel unfortunate and depressed, first he was threaten by his best friend and now he was threatened by his best friend’s partner, ‘when did their relationship get this good’ Fang Mu though but most especially he had this strong urge to also find himself a life partner and soon.

Fang Mu couldn’t help but wish he didn’t crash the empress elect’s party because he hated the bile taste of having the empress elect throw both the empress elect and the emperor’s love in his face, he hated this uncontrollable feeling of jealousy a lot.
