Jiang Shang and the Ghost Ancestor were ready to attend the auction, but Li Zhen didn't come out of the Five Elements Small World for a long time, and gradually lost his patience.
"Brother Zhen, why don't you come out? I'm really anxious. The auction will be over in a little while."
Jiang Shang said in a complaining and exaggerated tone.
"Young master! The eldest master must have been delayed on something important."
Ancestor Ghost Ghost gave a casual piece of advice.
Li Zhen would definitely attend the auction. Li Zhen worked hard on elixirs every night just to prepare for the auction.
When Jiang Shang heard this, he could only continue to wait patiently.
At this time, in the Five Elements Small World, Li Zhen was indeed delayed.
Li Zhen used the Five Emperors Cauldron to make alchemy with extremely high efficiency. Especially as he became more proficient in refining Mu Yuan Dan, his success rate became higher and higher, and his time was also reduced. At first, he could make four pills in one hour.
Five furnaces, now six furnaces can be made in one hour. If extraordinary performance is achieved, seven furnaces are also possible.
As a result, Li Zhen began to accumulate a large amount of Mu Yuan Dan to fully prepare for the auction.
It is not necessarily true that he is preparing for the auction, because he also wants to buy a large amount of elixirs to improve his cultivation, so that the strength of Wanxian Pavilion and Zongren Mansion can be rapidly improved.
It is not enough to just take care of the high-end combat power, but we must also increase our efforts in cultivating potential disciples below.
In addition to the hundred Mu Yuan Pills he traded with Mrs. Ruyi, Li Zhen decided to refine another eight hundred Mu Yuan Pills as capital, and went on a big shopping trip at the Jialan Chamber of Commerce. He also wanted to buy at least ten more Rebirth Pills.
It's a big expense. Although I didn't plan to complete the purchase of the Rebirth Pill in one go before, but now that I have the strength, why not solve it in one go?
In addition to buying the Rebirth Pill, if you encounter a good auction item, you also have the capital to compete for it.
The reason why Li Zhen did not leave the Five Elements Small World on time was because there was still a furnace of Muyuan Dan that had not been released, which delayed the time. However, it did not matter. It just made Jiang Shang quite impatient. After all, he was not a patient person. This also had something to do with his age.
Very relevant.
When the last furnace of Mu Yuan Dan came out, Li Zhen looked at the ten crystal clear Mu Yuan Dan, nodded with satisfaction, and put them into a wooden box.
In just five or six days, 900 Mu Yuan Pills were refined. If this efficiency were told, no one would dare to believe it.
As the saying goes: A bulging wallet speaks loudly.
With these nine hundred Mu Yuan Dan, Li Zhen also had the confidence to speak loudly at the auction.
After packing his things, Li Zhen left the Five Elements Small World.
Five-colored divine lights appeared out of thin air in the guest room. Jiang Shang and the Ghost Ancestor were shocked, knowing that Li Zhen had come out.
When Li Zhen showed up, Jiang Shang complained: "Brother Zhen! Why did you come out just now? It's already half an hour late."
Hearing this, Li Zhen smiled slightly and said: "Half an hour is not too late. We are honored guests. Even if it is an hour at night, the Jialan Chamber of Commerce will still respect us."
Li Zhen and the others left the inn and headed towards the Jialan Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, the auction meeting of the Jialan Chamber of Commerce had begun.
Mrs. Ruyi has been paying attention to Li Zhen since she presided over the opening speech of the auction. Her most concerned thing now is Li Zhen's Mu Yuan Dan, because it directly affects her promotion to the Three Tribulations Human Immortal.
It's about personal interests, it's hard not to think about it.
"Not here yet?"
Mrs. Ruyi asked the middle-aged man who often followed her around.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "You haven't come yet. Is there something wrong?"
At first, Mrs. Ruyi sent people to follow Li Zhen and others, thinking about checking their background, but found nothing. Furthermore, Li Zhen came to discuss the Mu Yuan Dan business. In order to keep the business, she withdrew the tracking personnel. Now it seems that this
There were some mistakes in the decision.
If Li Zhen fails to come today, or even breaks the appointment, it will cause great personal losses to her, and she may even be punished to a certain extent.
"Young Master Li doesn't seem to be a person who breaks his word. Furthermore, offending our Jialan Chamber of Commerce will be harmful and useless no matter what."
Mrs. Ruyi still maintains her elegance, making it difficult to see through her true inner emotions.
When the auction house started to auction the third item of the day, Pei Yuan, who had been waiting for Li Zhen and others at the door, saw the figures of Li Zhen and the others. His heart finally relaxed and he showed an expression of relief.
If Li Zhen hadn't come, the situation he had just seemed to be in would immediately be back to its original state, or even worse.
"I'd like to pay my respects to Mr. Li, Mr. Jiang, and the seniors."
Pei Yuan came forward and saluted.
Seeing Pei Yuan's anxious look, Li Zhen smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry?"
Pei Yuan laughed a little, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, it's just the right time for the young master to come here, and my shopkeeper just made time to come."
"Let's go to the auction venue first, and then call the shopkeeper."
Li Zhen came here to do business and to participate in the auction.
Li Zhen nodded when he heard this, and Pei Yuan led Li Zhen and others to the auction venue.
The auction venue is a single-story pavilion with a total of five floors. There is a private room specially reserved for Li Zhen on the third floor. Before several people entered the auction venue, the lively noise inside could be heard clearly, and the bidding was even louder.
Each other rises and falls.
“It’s quite lively.”
Li Zhen said casually.
Pei Yuan said quite proudly: "It's not a small boast. Our chamber of commerce's monthly auctions are highly valued, and almost everyone is absent."
The auction scene was very lively. Li Zhen and others entered the venue and saw that the hall on the first floor was indeed full of people. At a glance, there were nearly three thousand people, which was not a small number.
The second to fifth floors are all private rooms, which are built around the auction table in the middle of the hall. The private rooms are subdivided according to the guest's cultivation and nobleness, and the higher they go up, the more noble they become.
With Li Zhen's level of cultivation, it stands to reason that he can only sit in the private room on the second floor, but because he has a big business deal with the merchant and has the Ghost Ancestor, a powerful person in the realm, he is qualified to be arranged on the third floor.
From this point we can see the strict hierarchical division.
Three, six, nine, etc., with clear distinctions between Jing and Wei.
Li Zhen was originally very interested in this auction, but after a brief observation, he found that it was no different from a secular auction, and he suddenly lost interest. As for Jiang Shang, because it was his first contact, he felt very fresh and interested.
After Pei Yuan led Li Zhen and the others into a private room with a good location on the third floor, he said: "Please wait a moment, you three. The younger one will go and inform the shopkeeper."
Li Zhen nodded and Pei Yuan said goodbye and left.
The private room has a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and you can clearly see the lobby on the first floor, especially the auction table.
"Brother Zhen! It's really lively here."
Jiang Shang sighed with emotion.
Li Zhen smiled slightly and said: "After I sell all the Mu Yuan Dan in my hand, my brother will buy you a gift."
"real?!"
Jiang Shang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is this false? But the things can't be too expensive and must be within my brother's affordability."
Jiang Shang lacked for nothing, so Li Zhen bought him gifts just to join in the fun and make him happy.
Jiang Shang doesn't care whether the gift is expensive or not. He is very happy when he has a gift.
At this time, a high-grade treasure and magic weapon is being auctioned below. The competition is fierce, and most of the bidders are immortals of one or two tribulations.
The starting price is 1,500 Qi-Building Pills, and each bid increases by 50 Qi-Building Pills.
Li Zhen didn't know much about the market prices of magic weapons, elixirs, refining equipment, etc., so he could use the auction to familiarize himself with the market.
Li Zhen and others watched the excitement for a while, then there was a knock on the door, and then Mrs. Ruyi's voice came in.
"My family is happy! Can you come in?"
"Please come in!"
Li Zhen said hello, and Mrs. Ruyi pushed the door open with the middle-aged man and Pei Yuan.
"Young Master, are you satisfied with this private room? If not, I will change it to a better one for you."
Mrs. Ruyi said politely.
“Very satisfied! Thank you for the shopkeeper’s trouble.”
Li Zhen thanked him, then took out a wooden box from his bag, placed it in front of Mrs. Ruyi, and said: "Here are one hundred Mu Yuan Dan, subject to the shopkeeper's acceptance."
Mrs. Ruyi glanced at the wooden box, her excitement was palpable, she said "I'm sorry" and handed the wooden box to the middle-aged man behind her for inspection.
The middle-aged man picked up the wooden box and opened it. A strong medicinal fragrance filled his nostrils and quickly filled the entire room, making him feel relaxed and happy.
The full hundred Mu Yuan Dan lay quietly in the box. The middle-aged man couldn't help but let out a sigh, and then calmed down to examine the Mu Yuan Dan.
At the same time, Mrs. Ruyi also placed the five rebirth pills she had prepared in front of Li Zhen and said: "These are the young master's rebirth pills. Please check them for acceptance."
Li Zhen nodded and gave the Ghost Ancestor a look. The Ghost Ancestor understood and picked up the Rebirth Pill for examination.
"Young Master! There is no problem."
The Ghost Ancestor put the Rebirth Pill back in front of Li Zhen. Since the middle-aged man was still inspecting the goods, Li Zhen did not rush to accept the Rebirth Pill and asked: "Shopkeeper, if I still have Mu Yuan in my hand,
Dan, I wonder what price you will pay for it?"
"Same quality?"
Mrs. Ruyi asked.
"good!"
"I have prepared for this matter before. If you still have Mu Yuan Dan and are willing to sell it, our chamber of commerce is willing to buy it for three hundred Qi-Building Pills. I wonder if you are satisfied with it?"
Mrs. Ruyi tried her best.
Mrs. Ruyi's quotation once again exceeded Li Zhen's estimated price, and Li Zhen nodded happily and agreed.
“I can accept the price!”
"It's really a pleasure to do business with the young master. I wonder how much the young master has in his hands now?"
Mrs. Ruyi feels very comfortable doing business with Li Zhen, so there is no need to waste words.
Li Zhen stretched out four fingers and said: "I still have four hundred Mu Yuan Pills on hand. I wonder if the shopkeeper can eat them?"
Li Zhen did not take out all the goods in his hand at one go. He first sold half of the goods and kept the rest in exchange for the Rebirth Pill.
"What?!"
Mrs. Ruyi was shocked when she heard this.
"What? The shopkeeper can't eat it?"
When Li Zhen saw this, he sighed in his heart.
"You can eat it! You can eat it!"
Mrs. Ruyi hurriedly replied: "Such a good Mu Yuan Dan, how many slaves does the young master have to accept them all?"
Gongsun worshiped the wood-attribute skills, and the wood-yuan pill needed to be taken for a long time. If he had the opportunity to stock up, he would naturally not refuse anyone who came.
Li Zhen was very happy and took out four wooden boxes, each containing hundreds of Mu Yuan Dan.
"By the way, please accept these four boxes as well."
At this time, the middle-aged man had just finished inspecting the first box of Mu Yuan Dan. He looked at Mrs. Ruyi and said that there was no problem with Mu Yuan Dan. Mrs. Ruyi nodded and said cheerfully: "Young Master can be trusted by the slave family, and the rest will not be tested.
The slave family will send someone to settle the settlement for the young master."
"There's no need to rush. You have to buy something at the auction anyway. Let's just count the last piece."
