Into the World of Medicine

Chapter 45: High-priced elixirs "Today we will have a total of eighteen auction items on display at the auction, and each item is very precious. Here, Yao Ji wishes everyone can take photos of what they like."

"Okay, I won't say any more polite words. I believe everyone is now looking forward to the next auction items. Our auction will begin now, and here is the first auction item."

After Yao Ji finished speaking, a pillar slowly rose from above. Then, a pretty maid came up, holding a tray covered with a red cloth. The maid placed the tray on the pillar and then left the auction table.

Yao Ji took a step forward, stretched out her hand, lifted the red cloth on the tray, and then introduced, "Everyone, this is our first auction item today, this..."

The auction began, and rounds of bidding began to come one after another. However, for the first few auction items, no one in the boxes upstairs opened their bids. Perhaps it should be said that these auction items are not in the eyes of the distinguished guests above.

Looking at the auction items below, Murong Qingyan looked uninterested. The only thing she was interested in was the Supreme Medicine Cauldron. As for the other auction items, she really didn't have any urge to buy them.

Like Murong Qingyan, Xiaobai didn't have much interest in these auction items. In comparison, it is more interested in snacks and fruits on the table. However, after a while, everything on the table was eaten.

"The snacks and fruits here are quite good, but the portions are too small." Xiaobai couldn't help complaining, "This auction house is really stingy and doesn't prepare much. Look at them, every item We have to take 10% of the profit from the auction items, so we can’t repay us well even if we make so much money.”

Hearing Xiao Bai's complaint, Murong Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle, "Xiao Bai, this is an auction house, not a restaurant."

"Even if this is the case, you can still be more prepared!" Xiaobai curled his lips and said, "They won't suffer a loss."

Murong Qingyan found it funny, but said nothing more.

The auction is still being held, and the venue is particularly intense. Each auction item fetched a good price, and the smile on Yao Ji's face never stopped on the auction stage.

Finally, it’s time for the eighth auction item.

Yao Ji stood on the stage, and a maid delivered the auction items to the pillar. Yao Ji took a step forward and lifted up the red cloth. What appeared in front of everyone was a ring.

Yao Ji smiled softly and said, "This is our eighth auction item. Of course, don't think that what we are auctioning is this space ring. The people who can come to our large-scale auction are not ordinary people." character, so I also know that everyone will not be interested in a small space ring."

"Don't worry, everyone. This space ring is given away for free by our auction house. What we are going to auction is the contents of the space ring. I believe you have heard about it before. What we are auctioning this time is a Thousands of third-grade elixirs.”

After the words fell, many people's attention was attracted. Even the people in some rooms on the second floor started to move around. The third-grade elixir is indeed not a heaven-defying existence, but it cannot handle this huge quantity. If we can get these thousand pills, it will definitely be a good thing for the family.

"Okay, without further ado, let's start bidding now!" Yao Ji looked around and said, "The starting price for these thousand third-grade elixirs is 10 million gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than One hundred thousand gold coins.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone began to shout out the price, "Eleven million gold coins."

"Twelve million gold coins."

"Fifteen million gold coins."

"..."

The bidding below is getting more and more fierce, and the price is getting higher and higher.

However, none of this affected Murong Qingyan who was sitting in the box. Her expression was very calm, as if the pills being auctioned below had nothing to do with her.

"Master, why are you so calm?" Xiao Bai on the side was not so calm. "This elixir belongs to you, why don't you care at all?"

"Anyway, the auction has started now. Even if I am nervous, it will not help, right?" Murong Qingyan picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Besides, we will soon know how much can be auctioned. You already have money, why should you be nervous first?”

After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Xiaobai took a deep breath, and then returned all his attention to the bidding below.

Although the grade of the third-grade elixir is not very high, the quantity of one thousand pills still makes many people excited. Especially since there are not many alchemists nowadays, if you can obtain such a large amount of elixirs, it will definitely be of great help to your family.

"Thirty-five million gold coins."

"Forty million gold coins."

"..."

There was an endless stream of bidding, and the price had already doubled several times from the low price, but there was still no sign of stopping. Even Yao Ji, who was the auctioneer, did not expect such a situation to happen. Although knowing that the quantity of a thousand pills would definitely make many people excited, they never expected that so many people would bid for it, and the price would continue to rise.

Even some of the private rooms on the second floor have been included in the bidding. After all, not all families are alchemist families. Although these big families have their own alchemists, it is impossible for those alchemists to refine a thousand third-grade elixirs.

However, there are also some people who feel very unhappy when they see such a situation.

"Hmph, make a noise to attract crowds." In one of the boxes, Chen Wenqing said with a disdainful look, "It's just some third-grade elixirs, but some people value them so much. These people really have no vision."

The Chen family was originally an alchemy family, so naturally they didn't have much interest in this elixir. In the Chen family, no one even takes a fancy to third-grade elixirs. Therefore, Chen Wenqing was very disdainful when seeing so many people bidding for a mere third-grade elixir.

"Okay, Wen Qing, that's because our family is a family of alchemists." Although it was a slight scolding, there was not much blame in Chen Xianyi's tone, but a hint of arrogance, "Not all families can have so many. For elixirs, they naturally want to take pictures of these thousand elixirs. After all, this quantity is quite a lot."

"Humph, it's so boring." Chen Wen curled her lips and said, "Participating in this auction is not fun at all, and I don't know what is good about these auction items. Until now, I haven't seen anything valuable. Auction items. With such specifications, it can be considered a large-scale auction."

"Those good things are all behind!" Chen Xianyi smiled and shook his head, "It's just the eighth auction item now, why be so anxious! Forget it, didn't you take a fancy to the eleventh auction item? Wait. For a moment, I’ll take the eleventh auction item and give it to you, okay?”

"Really?" After hearing what Chen Xianyi said, Chen Wen was overjoyed, "But don't we still want to take pictures of the Supreme Medicine Cauldron? What if-"

The eleventh auction item is a high-level earth-level spiritual treasure, which is only one step away from becoming a heaven-level spiritual treasure. However, this was not what moved her most. What moved her heart was the appearance of this spiritual treasure. It was a dagger inlaid with various gems, which looked particularly gorgeous. As long as it is a girl, I believe that few people can resist such a thing.

"Don't worry, I've brought enough money." Chen Xianyi said confidently, "Besides, not many people know this Supreme Medicine Cauldron, so there won't be many people bidding for us. Most people hold it This medicine cauldron is of no use, and those alchemists, who don’t have the background of our Chen family, will definitely not be able to compete with us."

"That's what my brother said." Chen Wen chuckled and nodded, "Moreover, no one from the Song family came to participate in this large-scale auction today. And this medicine cauldron can only be used by alchemists, not others. Even if you get it, it’s of no use.”

Chen Xianbin on the side heard the conversation between Chen Xianyi and Chen Wenqing, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. He felt that these two people were really well-calculated and were not afraid of any accidents. I don’t even think about it. If something unexpected happens and the Supreme Medicine Cauldron cannot be photographed, the head of the family will be furious after returning.

However, he would not be so kind as to remind them. If nothing else, even if he opens his mouth, they may not believe what he says, and they might even ridicule him in turn! Moreover, this action was led by Chen Xianyi. If an accident really happened, he would not need to bear the main responsibility.

To be honest, he was even wishing for some accident to happen! So that the people in the second room will not be so arrogant.

The people in the box on this side were scheming, and the auction of the elixir below was almost coming to an end. As the price continues to increase, many people have stopped bidding.

"Eighty million gold coins."

A deep voice sounded, and almost all the voices on the field stopped. This price is already eight times the original low price. No one expected that this elixir would fetch such a high price.

Even Yao Ji, who was the auctioneer, couldn't help but be stunned after hearing such a price. Obviously, the price was beyond her expectations. However, such a price made the smile on her lips look even brighter.

She was naturally happy. The higher the bidding price, the more profits the auction house would share. As an auctioneer, she can naturally get a higher bonus.

"Master, this price is already too high." Xiaobai, who was sitting in the box, became excited from being careless at the beginning, "I didn't expect that there are so many discerning people here! I don't know if it is. There will still be bids, and it would be great if they could continue to increase.”

After all, the owner will bid for the supreme medicine cauldron later. If he bids more now, he will have more money to bid for the medicine cauldron later.

Murong Qingyan smiled but said nothing. No matter how high the price outside was, she acted indifferently and had nothing to do with her, as if those pills had nothing to do with her.

Although the price has soared to 80 million gold coins, many people have stopped bidding. But after a long time, a low voice still sounded.

"Eighty-one million gold coins."

A voice called out the price again, but the voice was much lower, and it was obvious that he was not confident enough.

"Ninety million gold coins." The deep voice sounded again.

As soon as the price of 90 million gold coins was shouted out, all the voices suddenly disappeared. This price is indeed too high. A thousand third-grade elixirs are indeed rare, but it is impossible to say that these elixirs are worth 90 million gold coins. The current price is much higher than those pills.

Once such a price was shouted out, no one would continue to increase the price.

"Okay, now someone has offered a price of 90 million gold coins. I wonder if there is a higher price?" Yao Ji's eyes showed a hint of excitement. However, even though she asked this, she also knew in her heart. This should be the transaction price.

It is very rare for a thousand third-grade elixirs to fetch a high price of 90 million gold coins.

Sure enough, after shouting out such a price, no one raised the price again. Everyone wants to get a thousand pills, because this is a very important wealth for a family. However, if the price exceeds the value of the item, then they need to think carefully.

"Since no one has raised the price, I declare now that the deal is done!"

As soon as the words fell, the scene was in an uproar. No one thought that it was only the eighth auction item and it had fetched such a price. Ninety million gold coins, what a huge amount of money! At the same time, everyone is also curious in their hearts, what kind of person is so wealthy that he spends 90 million gold coins to buy these thousand third-grade elixirs!

However, Yao Ji didn't notice at all the people's comments. She was so excited now! After all, the price of ninety million gold coins is really too high.

"Customer, we will send someone to your box now," Yao Ji said with a smile towards the box where the elixir was just taken, "As long as the price is paid, this ring and the contents inside will The elixirs all belong to you."

"Then there is Miss Lao Yaoji." It was still the same low voice, but he seemed to be particularly happy at this time, and he continued, "However, I hope Miss Yaoji will give me a word to the alchemist. I am the head of the Lei family in Yunmiao Realm. If I have the chance, I hope to have a long conversation with this outstanding alchemist."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone immediately knew that the person who took the pill was a drunkard and had no intention of drinking! After paying such a huge price to acquire these elixirs, it turns out that the most important thing is to win over this alchemist!

However, it is true, being able to take out a thousand pills at will shows how powerful this alchemist is. If you can make friends with such an alchemist, it will undoubtedly be a great help to a family.

Thinking of this, many members of the family felt a little regretful. Why didn't they think of this? If they were the ones who took the photos of those elixirs just now, wouldn't they be able to be friends with this alchemist? Even if we don't have a deep friendship, it is definitely a good thing to know such an alchemist!

After hearing the words of the person who claimed to be surnamed Lei, Yao Ji did not refuse immediately. She was stunned for a moment, but she came back to her senses immediately and said with a smile, "It is our honor to serve this distinguished guest. . However, it is unclear whether the alchemist is willing to meet you. We will not force him."

"Then please excuse me, Miss Yao Ji."

In the box——

Xiaobai's face was full of indignation, "Master, it turns out that this person took pictures of these pills because he wanted to take advantage of you! He was really shameless. He thought that if he took pictures of these pills, we would see him. Really? It’s just a dream.”

Seeing Xiao Bai's hair almost bursting with laughter, Murong Qingyan couldn't help but feel funny, "Isn't this bad? Just now, didn't you still think that selling more money would make us want to take pictures of the Supreme Medicine next? Will the tripod be any good?”

"I do think so, but I didn't expect that this guy has evil intentions." Xiaobai put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "I don't know what bad idea he wants to have. Master, you must not see him!" "

Murong Qingyan looked at the field and said calmly, "I had no intention of paying attention to him. I am very happy that he is willing to pay such a big price to buy my elixir, but this does not mean that I will go there because of it." meet him."

"Ah?" After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Xiaobai was almost dumbfounded, but it immediately laughed excitedly, "Hahaha, that would be really great. If you want to have a relationship, you have to take a look. Do you have such ability?"

Murong Qingyan smiled, her face still calm.

She won't be polite about the money and will accept it all. However, she will never meet people. If everyone asked to meet her like this, wouldn't she be very busy?

Moreover, it is simply a fantasy to want to befriend her with the help of such a simple auction. She didn't take such a small amount of money seriously.

The auction below is still in full swing. Because the last auction item, the thousand pills, actually fetched a high price of 90 million. This also makes the following auctions more lively.

However, the subsequent auction items did not achieve such high prices again. When it comes to auctions, everyone still has a low price in mind. Few people are really willing to spend more money to buy something that is not equivalent at all.

Murong Qingyan was not very interested, but she also began to pay attention to what happened at the auction.

When the eleventh auction item was delivered to the pillar, Murong Qingyan's lips curved into a smile. I have to say that this auction item is indeed very eye-catching, especially for girls. There is no girl who doesn’t like such a gorgeous dagger! Not to mention, this dagger is a high-level earth-level spiritual treasure.

"Master, do you like this dagger?" Xiaobai also noticed Murong Qingyan's eyes. He tilted his head and asked curiously, "Do you want to take a picture of it?"

"No need." Murong Qingyan smiled and shook her head, "This dagger is indeed very beautiful, but it is not very practical. I can only say that such a thing has more decorative significance. I just think that this dagger It’s just pretty good-looking.”

"If you like it, take it!" Xiaobai said nonchalantly, "It's rare to see something you like. Even if you don't use it, it's not a bad idea to take it back and collect it!"

"Xiao Bai, I didn't expect you to be quite a spendthrift!" After hearing Xiao Bai's words, Murong Qingyan said angrily, "I'm not going to spend money to buy a useless decoration. So stupid. Besides, I’m only interested for a moment, I can’t even say I like it!”

"Besides, I already have the Sky-Slaying Sword, so I don't like this dagger at all."

After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Xiaobai stuck out his tongue and said nothing more.

For this auction item, most of the people bidding were girls. Those men don't like such fancy things.

In the end, the person who took the photo of the dagger was really Chen Wenqing. The price of this dagger was not particularly high, but it was not low either, costing 45 million gold coins.

When the dagger was delivered to the box, Chen Wenqing held the dagger in her hand with a look of excitement on her face. She had already been looking at the dagger just now, and her brother finally agreed to take a photo of it and give it to her. Now that she finally got it, how could she not be happy!

Seeing Chen Wenqing's happy look, Chen Xianyi paid the money without any hesitation.

Auctions are like this. As long as you take the photo, someone will send it over quickly and ask the customer to pay. This is to protect the rights of customers and the interests of the auction house.

After all, there are some people who like to cause trouble. If those people regret it after buying it, the auction house will suffer the loss. Therefore, as long as the auction is successful, the auction house will clear the money and goods in the shortest possible time to avoid any setbacks.

This approach is best for both the auction house and the customers.
