Xiao Ze knew very well that the four million-plus Sovereign Spiritual Liquid given to him by Mandrill was, in truth, an overpayment.
Although Mandrill had mentioned that auctioning them off at an auction house could fetch a price exceeding four million, that figure would only be achieved through competitive bidding among multiple parties, causing the price to swell slightly. Under normal trading conditions, his batch of medicinal pills would simply not reach four million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Xiao Ze was well aware in his heart that this was likely because he had helped Mandrill suppress her curse. Because of this, Mandrill had shown him a great deal of favor in many matters prior to this. Whether it was allowing him to consult ancient alchemy texts and pill formulas, letting him freely take spiritual arrays from the Scripture Pavilion, or acting as she did now—every bit of preferential treatment Mandrill showed him, he kept firmly in mind.
