Chapter 18: Jade Dan Pavilion (Second Update)

  The weather in August is sweltering and unbearable, the white clouds in the sky cannot block the heat brought by the sun.

  Wu Ming wore a black cloak, gazing at the white clouds in the sky, and said softly: "It seems that it will rain in these few days? Or hurry up and sell the elixir first. The day after tomorrow is Jiutian, I don't know when I can break through the Xiantian realm?"

  In the Xuantian City, Wu Ming looked around in all directions through his black cloak.

  This city is not often visited, and many places are unfamiliar. Wanting to find a place to sell the elixir, it's indeed not easy to find. As he walked, Wu Ming suddenly looked at a sign in front of him, which read "Xuan Tian Auction House".

  Is this the auction house under the Xuantian Sect?

  It is said that this auction house was created by a generation of Lu's external disciples, who felt that their cultivation was not in vain and wanted to leave some capital for their juniors. At first, it was just a small business, operating only in the Xuantian City area. Later, seeing that this industry was quite profitable, they went to the sect to register and pay an annual fee of silver and spiritual stones, or sometimes even reserve martial skills for the sect. Over time, it became known as the Xuantian Auction House, considered a subsidiary institution of the sect.

  Nowadays, Xuantian Auction House has spread all over Jinzhou's large and small counties, and even in the western Sichuan Province, there are also Xuantian Auction Houses. The business is getting bigger and stronger as it goes on.

  Actually, the Lu family had thought that by doing so, they would let the Xuantian Sect take all the benefits and felt wronged. However, the fact proved that the person's vision was indeed correct. Although the Xuantian Auction House is a subsidiary of the Xuantian Sect, it is also an independent institution and will not be arranged at will by the sect. After all, those people are good at cultivating, but they are far from being good at doing business. This is not to mention that the auction house has hung up the name of Xuantian, which means that there is a backing of the Xuantian Sect, and few people in the green forest along the way dare to come and make trouble, this is also one of the reasons why the auction house can expand to such an extent in just over ten or twenty years.

  Of course, with this auction house around, the Lu family will have a connection with the Xuantian Sect. This is a bridge, and in the future, if there's anything they need help with, they can ask the sect for assistance. After all, the Xuantian Sect is one of the three major sects in Jingzhou, although it may not be as prestigious as those top-tier sects, but it's still a well-known name, a first-rate sect. If it weren't for the fact that their requirements for selecting disciples are too harsh, I'm afraid the doors would have been crowded with people trying to get in long ago.

  Wu Ming thought for a moment and gave up. This auction house had a complex connection with the sect, and it was not suitable to reveal his identity at this time. Forget it, let's take another look!

  To be honest, if you want to sell elixirs, auctions are the most cost-effective way. Normally, one low-grade spirit stone can buy two Gathering Qi Pills, but at an auction, the price will probably rise... Hmm, Wu Ming still has a lot of confidence in the system's elixirs!

  "Jade Dan Pavilion? Isn't this a place selling elixirs? Shouldn't they be collecting elixirs here?"

  Just after turning a corner, Wu Ming saw the three words "Jade Pavilion", and his heart immediately stirred secretly, and he walked over directly.

  When Wu Ming entered, the little second on the side lit up his eyes and hurried forward to say: "I don't know what kind of medicine the guest needs? Our Yu Dan Pavilion has a history of hundreds of years, and we also cooperate with Yao Wang Valley. No matter what kind of medicine it is, as long as you can name it, if there is one on the market, we have it for sale. Even if we don't have stock here, we can ask Yao Wang Valley to help refine it. Absolutely top-grade, just rest assured and come in, guaranteed satisfaction!"

  "Do you have any Gathering Qi Pills here?" Wu Ming lowered his voice, pretending to be hoarse.

  "Ji Qi Dan? Yes, this way please!" The little servant's expression seemed to have darkened, and the initial enthusiasm was gone.

  Wu Ming walked over and took a look at the prices on it, all of which were selling for three grains per bottle, but the price on it was two ling stones, which was not low.

  "You're selling Dan medicine, can you also buy Dan medicine?" Wu Ming said in a hoarse voice.

  "Alright, we'll take any kind of dan medicine, but the price will be lower than what's sold on the market. After all, we also need to make a profit. Of course, if the quality is subpar, we won't accept it either. Most of our dan medicines are top-grade products from Medicine King Valley, and they're all excellent within their respective categories."

  Xiao Er saw Wu Ming come over to look at the Qi Gathering Pill, and guessed that Wu Ming was going to sell the Qi Gathering Pill. He thought that this was still a purchase, which would be less profitable than selling it himself, and his interest immediately decreased by several points.

  "Hmm, I know this one! Let's call over the person in charge and exchange some of these elixirs for silver. I have a few high-quality ones here." Wu Ming nodded, thinking to himself that if he didn't recognize top-grade elixirs, he would be at an even greater loss.

  "Eh, sir, you're saying you want to exchange for silver, not spirit stones?" The little servant's eyes were almost bulging out, confirming that he indeed said he wanted silver and not spirit stones.

  "Go on, then!"

  Wu Ming nodded.

  The little second immediately ran to the counter and said something to the shopkeeper, then ran back into the inner room. If it was just exchanging silver for spiritual stones, that would be easy to say, but the Medicine King Valley only wants spiritual stones, not silver!

  Not long after, an old man in his fifties came, dressed in a somewhat scholarly attire. Without any pleasantries, he went straight to the point and said: "I am Ouyang Bi, a third-grade Dan Master of Yudan Pavilion. What kind of Dan medicine does this guest need to sell? Can you take it out for me to see?"

  Ouyang Bi, a third-grade alchemist, unexpectedly spoke in such a polite tone! Wu Ming was also somewhat surprised. Alchemists aren't usually eccentric and arrogant? It seems that the Jade Dan Pavilion is not simple!

  He pulled out a bottle of dan medicine from his bosom, exactly ten pills, all were Qi Gathering Pills.

  Ouyang Bi took the bottle, gently unscrewed the cap, and poured out a pellet of Qi-gathering Dan. Its dark appearance looked extremely ordinary, and not even a hint of medicinal scent could be detected. Yet Ouyang Bi's hand trembled as she placed the dan under her nose and sniffed it vigorously.

  She threw the Dan medicine into the bottle, and Ouyang Bi said with a hint of excitement: "Sir, dare I ask if this medicine was refined by yourself?"

  Wu Ming was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he had made it himself. Anyway, it was a product of the system, and he had even brought a cloak with him.

  Ouyang Bi suddenly stood up and bowed, "Fragrant but not scattered, the medicinal power is contained within, it's actually possible to contain the medicinal power! Although this is only a first-grade elixir, the technique used is absolutely at the level of a seventh-grade master alchemist. I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I, Ouyang Bi, would still be able to see such an elixir. It's a blessing for three lifetimes, it's a blessing for three lifetimes! To be able to meet such a divine elixir here, please allow me to pay my respects to the master!"

  Wu Ming was taken aback, was the Dan medicine really that good? Should he go back and buy a few pills for himself to try? As for exciting this old man like this...

  Actually, Wu Ming was wrong. It's not that this world doesn't have alchemists who can refine such a Gathering Qi Pill, it's just that they are all 7th rank or higher, master-level alchemists. Whoever it is, no one has any interest in refining this 1st rank Gathering Qi Pill. And to mobilize them to refine the pill, it's not something that can be easily seen on the market, who isn't treating it as a treasure?

  "Don't bother with that, just name a price. What price is the Jade Dan Pavilion willing to pay for this elixir?" Wu Ming added after finishing his sentence: "Hmm, if the price is right, maybe we can cooperate again in the future."

  Ouyang Bi suppressed the excitement in her heart and said thoughtfully, "Ah, as for the price, I heard that Master requires silver taels, not spirit stones? In that case, 10,000 taels per piece is twice the market price. Of course, Master can come to our Yudan Pavilion for any future medicinal pellets, and we will definitely offer a fair price!"

  Wu Ming was overjoyed in his heart. He had originally thought that selling one dan medicine for five thousand taels would be a big profit, but he didn't expect it to more than double.
