Chapter 26 The Auction!
"roll!"
As the two women approached, Su Mu spoke indifferently, his eyes unusually cold, which frightened the two women so much that they suddenly stood up, trembling all over, and dared not even look him in the eye.
Da da da—
at this time.
Meng Ziling swayed her hips as she walked in, giving the two women a look that signaled them to step back.
Immediately, she picked up the wine pot with her delicate fingers, personally poured a cup of fine wine for Su Mu, and walked gracefully closer, her melodious voice ringing out: "Sir, please calm your anger. It was my fault for not arranging things properly. I will personally apologize to you."
Of course—
Su Mu's tone remained cold, tinged with anger: "Miss Meng, if your side relies solely on these methods to maintain cooperation, in my opinion, there's no need to continue."
Upon hearing this, he completely gained the upper hand. Meng Ziling's fingers, which were holding the wine glass, hovered in mid-air, and her pretty face changed slightly.
a little.
She forced a light laugh, put down her wine glass, and sat down in the chair opposite Su Mu, her fair and slender legs crossed, creating a unique scene.
"Hehe~ Sir, please calm down. As an apology, the auction house will not charge any fees for the proceeds from this elixir auction. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this...
Su Mu's lips curled slightly. That's exactly what I was waiting for!
Yunfan Auction House Rules
Each time an item is auctioned, the auction house takes a 30% cut as a service fee.
Meng Ziling's concession this time truly demonstrates her sincerity.
Seeing that Su Mu remained silent, Meng Ziling still believed that he was not satisfied with the current conditions, so she continued:
"Sir, this card is the Yunfan Auction House's Purple Gold Cloud Card. Cardholders will enjoy the highest level of service and discounts when making purchases at any of Yunfan Auction House's properties!"
Done.
Meng Ziling took out a purple-gold card with a faint fragrance from her chest.
The card is exceptionally well-made, with a purple-gold color and gilded cloud patterns. Just by looking at the craftsmanship, you can tell how precious it is!
Su Mu remained calm and composed. After a moment, he spoke, "In that case, I am willing to cooperate with Miss Meng once."
He finished speaking.
He took the still-warm purple-gold cloud card and put it into his storage bag. Then, with a wave of his hand, a wooden box appeared on the table, inside which were five pills shimmering with spiritual energy!
Meng Ziling's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly; clearly, she was shocked by what she saw!
Five flawless Qi Gathering Pills?
How could a master alchemist of this caliber appear in a remote border town, in a small county?
In the Xuanling Continent, alchemists are divided into nine ranks, from low to high. The higher the rank, the greater the purity of the pills they can refine.
To refine a flawless quality pill, one must be an alchemist of at least the fifth rank, and the probability is extremely low; it may take ten batches to produce even one flawless quality pill!
One can only imagine the sheer awe-inspiring sight of these five flawless pills!
Meng Ziling once thought that the person in front of her was definitely not simple; he was either a reclusive old monster or a retainer or elder of a powerful force!
"Sir, although these five pills of yours are of high value, their use is somewhat limited."
Therefore, our starting price is... five hundred spirit stones. What do you think?
As one of the backers of Yunfan Market, Meng Ziling has the right to make all decisions for Yunfan Market. Five hundred spirit stones is an astronomical price in a barren and secular place like the border!
There are far too few cultivators in Pingyang County. If they were in the other prefectures of Xu Kingdom, the price would at least double!
"I have no objection. As for the spirit stones I obtained, please exchange them for some medicinal herbs. Please bring me paper and pen."
As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, Meng Ziling immediately gave a look to the maid waiting beside her, signaling her to fetch paper and pen.
soon.
Bring paper and pen.
With a thought, Su Mu flipped through the alchemy manual. After searching for a while, his gaze finally landed on the recipe for the 'Marrow Cleansing Pill'!
After what happened before, Su Mu decided to help Ye Qingyan and Shen Yanran embark on the path of immortality.
Although they are mortals, as long as they have enough resources, even mortals can cultivate immortality!
Of course, with his current strength, he is not strong enough to change their physical constitution. Therefore, he plans to use the Marrow Cleansing Pill to change their physique first, and then gradually teach them cultivation techniques to guide them onto the path of immortality.
"Sir, what is this...?"
Meng Ziling was full of doubt. She was certain that what Su Mu had written was a prescription for pills, but she had never seen such a prescription before.
As a member of a family of alchemists, she was familiar with various pill formulas from a young age and was promoted to a third-grade alchemist at a young age.
She had never seen Su Mu's prescriptions before. Could it be that he created them himself?
If that's true, Su Mu's strength is far more terrifying than she imagined!
"Miss Meng, this is a Marrow Cleansing Pill. For ordinary people, it can cleanse their marrow and strengthen their bones, prolonging their lives. For martial artists and cultivators, it can enhance their physical constitution and improve their overall health..."
"I would be grateful if Miss Meng could collect these medicinal herbs for me. If I don't have enough spirit stones, I will make up the difference."
The ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill are precious, and it also requires a second-tier demon core as a medicinal catalyst, making it expensive. However, he still has the financial resources to refine two or three pills!
Cleansing the marrow and bones? Changing one's constitution!
Meng Ziling's expression became even more interesting. She quickly said, "Mr. Mu, I can forgo all the spirit stones. I only ask that you grant me one after you have finished refining it!"
There are many similar pills in the Xuanling Continent, but this is the border. Once the Marrow Cleansing Pill is released, the aristocratic families in the city will definitely fight for it like crazy for the sake of their clansmen. At that time, it would not be too much to sell it for ten thousand spirit stones!
In addition, you can also make friends with a master alchemist – a sure-fire way to make money!
"In that case, it would be impolite of me to refuse!"
Su Mu smiled faintly, handed the pill to Meng Ziling, and got up to leave. Just then, her voice reached his ears: "Mr. Mu, there happens to be an auction today. Why don't you come with me to take a look?"
After some thought, Su Mu agreed. He would go into the mountains tomorrow, which would be a good opportunity to see if there were any magical treasures up for auction, thus providing an extra layer of protection!
Not long after!
The scene at the auction.
Su Mu followed Meng Ziling to a private VIP room on the second floor. From there, he could see the entire auction, a truly royal treatment!
"Mr. Mu, if I may be so bold as to ask, which sect or school do you belong to?" Meng Ziling asked tentatively before the auction began.
Su Mu remained silent for a while, then slowly said, "Miss Meng, since when did we have to pry into the black market?"
"..."
Meng Ziling's expression changed slightly, but she quickly recovered and forced a smile, "Hehe~ Mr. Mu is too kind. I was just curious, what kind of power could afford to support such a great figure as you..."
Su Mu was a seasoned veteran; how could he not understand the meaning behind Meng Ziling's words?
He spoke calmly, "What? Miss Meng wants me to risk my life for you?"
Meng Ziling was slightly taken aback, not expecting Su Mu to be so straightforward, so she covered her mouth and smiled.
"If that's truly the case, would Mr. Mu be willing to come under my command?"
As she spoke, Meng Ziling lowered her head slightly, intentionally or unintentionally revealing her proud breasts, causing Su Mu to quickly avert his gaze and look towards the auction stage...
He thought to himself, "She really is a vixen!"
