After a while, Otto brought them all to meet Elsa and did some introductions before leaving them alone.

"I didn't expect the senior director to be so young and beautiful. To be honest, I was a little skeptical when Otto mentioned that you were a young, beautiful woman." Severin could not help his surprise when he laid eyes on her. Elsa was beautiful-her skin was fair and her face was uniquely charismatic. The skirt she wore was slightly on the shorter end, which revealed a part of her thighs and made her look very youthful.

"Please have a seat, Mister Severin!" Elsa invited everyone to sit down. "I won't exchange any additional spiritual stones for you simply because you've flattered me. We have strict standards in terms of exchanging spiritual stones with other items. Even if you and I have a good relationship, I am bound to carry out my duty according to the rules of our auction house."

A person like Elsa could be said to have a lot of influence in Oolong City. Naturally, that would mean she had already heard a lot of flattery from plenty of other people. She was quite neutral when Severin made that remark earlier.

Severin smiled and said, "I'm just telling the truth. I would imagine that it couldn't have been easy to sit in this position."

Elsa smiled blankly and said to Severin, "Let's talk business. Otto informed me that you were planning to offer some pills in exchange for spiritual stones." Severin nodded with a smile. "That I do. I don't have a lot of valuable things, but I can exchange pills with you since I'm an alchemist."

"Becoming a second-grade alchemist is a tough task," Elsa began to complain. "My mental power isn't too bad, and I'm very interested in learning alchemy. Unfortunately, I've been too busy here, and the two junior directors haven't been able to make a breakthrough yet. I was planning to resign, go into seclusion, and find someone to learn alchemy from, but my resignation request was always rejected. I'll have to wait until one of the junior directors breaks through to level eight warrior emperor before I get a chance. It drives me up the wall."

Elsa's frustration was evident, and her angry expression was adorable.

Severin smiled and said, "I sensed your mental ability earlier, and I can say that it's very strong. You have a budding talent for alchemy, but I'm curious to know how patient you are. Patience is a necessary skill in alchemy, as is a strong mental fortitude. Those who can't stand failure are destined never to succeed because failure is a regular occurrence when you're just starting alchemy."

Elsa nodded in approval when she heard what Severin said. "I didn't expect your mental power to be that strong. I just used mine very briefly to know what was happening outside and yet you still discovered it."

"Your chance to resign might come sooner rather than later," Severin said with a smile. "You'll have a level eight warrior emperor soon enough."

"I sure hope so. The junior directors are training very hard, but even then, it's not that easy to make a breakthrough." Elsa smiled wryly. She then produced a small book with a flip of her palm and handed it to Severin. "Here's the exchange rate for pills. Have a look and see how many pills you can offer."

In Elsa's view, Severin would have to fork out large amounts of pills to exchange spiritual stones of over a billion.

Severin looked at it and expressed his surprise. "It's incredibly detailed! Even the quality is taken into account! Pills of the same grade will have a higher value if their quality is better, with elite-quality pills being much more expensive."
