The white-haired old man took it, uncorked the bottle, put it to his nose and took a sniff. His kind eyes suddenly shone brightly, and his face showed joy. He blurted out his praise: "What a rich green dragon ginseng flavor, and a subtle... The fragrance of stephanotis and some extremely precious medicinal herbs are worthy of being the best elixirs for prolonging life and longevity. May I ask this guest, did you personally refine these elixirs?"
"It's not that this bottle of elixir was given to me by a friend I met for the first time, because I helped him once by accident, so he gave me this bottle of elixir." She didn't want the old man to continue questioning, and Feng Qingzhuang was not red or out of breath. , casually made up a lie
"What a pity. This old man loves to study the art of alchemy. I really want to ask this alchemist for advice." The old man moved his silver beard with a look of regret on his face.
"Master, the auction is about to begin. I think it's better to give this customer's elixir a valuation first," the middle-aged man next to him said with a kind face.
"Look at me, as soon as I see the pill I'm looking forward to, I even forget about the business. May I ask this guest, how many immortality pills do you have in total?" The old man raised his head and asked.
Auction elixirs are calculated based on pills. The more pills there are, the higher the price will be. Especially for elixirs like this that prolong life. The more pills there are, the higher the price will be.
"I don't know, there should be more than ten." Feng Qingzhuang touched her nose and said lightly.
"Yan Qing, please count the number of pills." The old man handed the pill bottle to the disciple beside him.
"Yes, Master." Yan Qing took the elixir bottle, poured the elixir in the bottle into a wooden basin covered with white silk cloth, scanned it lightly with his eyes, put on a pair of white cloth gloves, and poured the elixir into a wooden basin covered with white silk cloth. The pills were put back into the bottle one by one
"Master, there are twenty-eight pills in the bottle," Yan Qing said with a gentle expression.
"Twenty-eight immortality pills, each priced at one hundred taels of silver. Guest, do you plan to auction all these twenty-eight pills?" the old man asked again.
"Yes" Feng Qingzhuang nodded.
"This life-prolonging longevity elixir is most popular among wealthy officials, businessmen, and businessmen. I will round up the price and start at three thousand taels of silver. What do the customers think?" The old man asked Feng Qingzhuang for her opinion.
"I'm very satisfied with this starting price." Feng Qingzhuang nodded with satisfaction with a smile on her face.
"Guest, please follow me here to go through some relevant procedures," Yan Qing said politely.
Feng Qingzhuang followed Yan Qing to another table, signed some corresponding documents, and pressed her fingerprints. The procedures were completed and she watched with her own eyes as the old man put on the twenty-eight-year-old man with homemade white gloves. Put the immortality pills one by one into a brocade box specially used for storing pills, and put one pill into each concave compartment. When everything was settled, Feng Qingzhuang led Yinzheng and Canyun from the special Passage into the auction hall
The auction hall is spacious and grand, divided into three floors. The first floor is the hall, with nearly sixty or seventy sets of tables and chairs. The second and third floors are independent private rooms. There are almost fifty private rooms in total. You can sit in the private rooms. People are either rich or expensive, and even the admission fee is several times more expensive than an ordinary hall. There is a display stand about one meter high directly in front of the hall on the first floor.
As soon as Feng Qingzhuang, Yinzheng and Canyun entered the auction hall, a well-trained boy in a blue cloth shirt came over. Seeing the three of them walking in from a special passage, they immediately knew who were here to sell things. Not for buying things
He walked over and said politely: "Three guests, please come with me. Tables No. 1 to No. 20 on the right side of the hall are specially provided for guests who bring auction items to sell."
"Please lead the way," Feng Qingzhuang replied politely.
After the three of them sat down, another boy in the same clothes came over to serve tea.
At this time, the hall was already full of seats and the atmosphere was noisy. Everyone was sitting around the table, talking to each other in twos and threes, discussing whether there would be some exciting pills this time. Everyone was talking with great interest and relish. Compared with the noise in the hall, two
The third floor is relatively quiet, and there are even a few private rooms with lights not on, indicating that no one has entered yet.
"Master, I didn't expect that the auction at Qunying Pavilion would attract so many people. There are several seniors in this hall who have never been born before." Yin Zheng, who was always cold and cold, could not hide his excitement and said happily.
"But don't you find it strange that these Yingge people are just auctioning some pills, how come they attract so many people from the world of martial arts?" Feng Qingzhuang glanced at the hall with her cold eyes. Most of them were dressed as people from the martial arts world, among them
There were also some heroic women, so they spoke doubtfully.
"My master doesn't know that Qunying Pavilion will auction a fine collection of Great Return Pills at the annual Xingyao Kingdom Yaojing auction. Taking this pill can increase one's martial arts skills by ten years.
Regardless of the royal family, dignitaries, or people in the world, who doesn't want to own it? Therefore, this exquisite Dahuan Dan is the most popular elixir in every auction," Can Yun said coldly with no expression on his face.
Hearing this, Feng Qingzhuang lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head, slightly curved her lips, and said with a smile: "Yin Zheng, Can Yun, please sit down for a moment, I'll come when I have something to do."
After saying that, she stood up and left the table and walked towards the special passage where she came from. After a while, when Feng Qingzhuang came back, her beautiful face was almost smiling with joy, which showed how happy she was.
"Master, what did you do just now to make you so happy?" Yinzheng asked curiously.
"You will know the secret in a while," Feng Qingzhuang smiled, as bright as the morning sun, and said mysteriously
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Feng Qingzhuang saw a familiar figure coming in from the door. She was dressed in luxurious purple clothes, with eyebrows like Qiongdai, eyes like black jade, wearing a purple gold crown, followed by two brothers, Jingyun and Jingmeng.
, this person is none other than Shangguan Xuanqing, King of the Qing Dynasty
Feng Qingzhuang's face darkened, her joyful mood immediately flew away, she turned her head and no longer looked at the door.
Shangguan Xuanqing's sharp eyes glanced around, but he didn't recognize Feng Qingzhuang, who was disguised as a woman. He shook his head and laughed secretly at himself, and then followed the young man in green clothes who led the way to the private room he had booked earlier on the second floor.
Yin Zheng and Can Yun sat next to Feng Qingzhuang, wondering in their hearts how the master's mood was clear just now, how could it turn from clear to cloudy in an instant, and his face turned frosty?
At this time, another white figure came in from the gate, graceful and graceful like a plum blooming in the frost in winter. The faint fragrance came over, and the cold and handsome face had a gentle smile, but there was a faint smile between the brows.
It is indifferent and alienated, giving people a sense of distance that can be looked up to but not close to, with an elegant and noble temperament.
