It was a Little difficult to do that when she saw how calm and at peace Maria seemed to be. Somehow, it made her feel guilty.

“Is there a problem?" Maria asked calmly.

Doris pushed a smile onto her face and said, “Not a problem, but there is an auction of pills that will be held by the Pill Alchemist Association today. Mrs. Jenkins has been kind enough to ask Mr. Acosta to lead the younger generation of the family to the auction to broaden their horizons. You of course, are to be among them."

The said association held several auctions like this every year, where the representatives of the various ancient clans would sit and bid for the valuable pills.

Actually, it was a heavy weight on the shoulders of the representatives because they not only had to buy a large number of basic pills that their families couldn't produce, but they also had to be on alert to get the rare high-grade pills that were presented by bidding the highest.

This was why they usually went for such auctions, but their reason for wanting Maria there this time was a little different.

It was obvious that as the representative of the Jenkins family, Elton would spend a lot of money at the auction.

They hoped that Maria would be impressed by his devotion and would try to approach him.

The only thing that troubled Doris at the moment was if Maria would agree to go or not.

“If I understand you correctly, you want me to go to the pill auction to widen my horizon?”

Maria furrowed her eyebrows and gave Doris a funny look.

Even Grover who was mopping the floor, paused and gave Doris the same funny Look.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Doris asked, a little nervous and unsettled. She had never seen Grover before, but his uniform made her understand that he was a guard of the Jenkins family.

Since she was assigned to make sure that Maria agreed to attend the auction, she had to do everything in her power to make sure it happened. She Looked at Maria with less arrogance and explained, "Miss Maria, you probably do not know that this is a golden opportunity for you. This auction is a very important event in the ancient martial world. No ordinary person can just participate in it or watch it.

It is a rare opportunity you only get once. Even better, the envoy would be personally led by Mr. Acosta. I'd advise you not to miss it.”

When the expression on Maria's face didn't change, Doris lowered her voice and continued, "Not everyone is aware of this, but you might see the fifth grade Reverse Pills on the auction. This pill can change your talent in the ancient martial and increase your grade."

Literally everyone believed that Maria's talent was the Lowest. Both the Level and the type. Doris only mentioned the Reverse Pill hoping that it would tempt Maria.

One might minimize it because it was only the fifth grade Reverse Pills, but it was special because the pill alchemist who knew how to make these pills seem to have been Lost into existence for many years.

Twenty years ago, one of the pill alchemists in the Jenkins family succeeded in mastering the formula. But that was two decades ago.

Since then, no one resurfaced, and the Reverse Pills were equally absent at the auctions.

Actually, Doris didn't care if Maria would really want this pill or not. She was only concerned with getting the younger woman to go to the auction.

Besides, the Jenkins family wouldn't spend so much money on the Reverse Pill just for Maria even if it was indeed in the market.

“What do you say. Miss Maria? Will you be there?" Doris asked hopefully.
