Kapitel 14: Consignment Auction
Standing to the side, Yafei naturally did not understand what a "Pill Pattern" was, so she asked, "Uncle Gu Ni, what is a Pill Pattern?"
Gu Ni, still showing astonishment, explained, "In the alchemy world, it is recorded that each grade of medicinal pill has its ultimate potency, which can preserve the pill's maximum efficacy without any side effects."
"And the representation of this ultimate potency is the Pill Pattern on the pill's surface. This is similar to the process of attracting Dan Lei (Thunder Tribulation) during alchemy, though the two are not mutually exclusive!" Upon hearing Gu Ni's explanation, Yafei's eyes also flickered with a hint of brilliance.
"How about it? Can you auction these two items?" Xiao Yu asked calmly.
Yafei quickly came to her senses and smiled as she approached Xiao Yu, "Sir, this is a VIP card of the Mitter Auction House. I hope you can accept it. In the future, you can enjoy VIP treatment at any Mitter family auction house, and the tax rate will also be reduced from 5% to 2%."
As Yafei spoke, she took out a crystal card and handed it over.
Xiao Yu did not hesitate and took it. Since he might have many dealings with the Mitter family in the future, and given that Yafei was a very perceptive person, he could not think of a reason to refuse.
Seeing Xiao Yu accept the crystal card, Yafei's smile became even brighter. "I hope we will have more cooperation in the future!" Yafei moved closer, and a subtle fragrance from her body reached Xiao Yu's nose. Through his mask, Xiao Yu couldn't help but think of her as a seductive enchantress.
"Naturally!" Xiao Yu replied as he took a step back, finding it hard to endure Yafei's allure.
Noticing Xiao Yu's somewhat disoriented reaction, Yafei smiled. She hadn't expected this young man to be so shy. Just as she was about to tease Xiao Yu further, Gu Ni gently cleared his throat twice. Yafei's expression changed, and she quickly returned to her high and aloof demeanor, leaving Xiao Yu a bit confused.
Gu Ni approached with a smile and asked, "Sir, do you have the remaining ninety-nine bottles of Snow Jade Spirit Liquid with you?"
Xiao Yu shook his head, "No, I will deliver them tomorrow. After the auction, please help me buy a space ring. Deduct the cost from the proceeds of the auction."
Yafei was somewhat surprised, "You don't have a space ring?"
Xiao Yu nodded slightly. Yafei thought for a moment, then took off a green ring from her finger and handed it to Xiao Yu.
Yafei smiled charmingly, "Consider this space ring as a personal gift from me to you!"
Gu Ni, witnessing this scene, seemed hesitant to speak. Xiao Yu also noticed that the ring might have a special meaning, so he declined politely, "That might not be appropriate."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Just take it!" Yafei insisted, pulling Xiao Yu's hand and placing the ring in his palm.
Holding the ring, Xiao Yu no longer refused and said, "I will deliver the spirit liquid on time tomorrow."
"Good!" Yafei agreed with a smile.
Xiao Yu then left the Mitter Auction House's main hall without looking back.
After Xiao Yu had left, Gu Ni spoke up, "Miss, that ring is your mother's relic!"
Yafei watched Xiao Yu's retreating figure with a gentle smile, "I know. He is a talented alchemist, isn't he? If we build a good relationship with him, it could be very beneficial for us."
Gu Ni sighed with some helplessness, "I hope so. The family hopes you will gain more experience. You will eventually leave Wutan City and return. Moreover, being a talented alchemist doesn't necessarily mean one's achievements will be great. Dan Wang Gu He's talent wasn't inferior to his, yet he remains stuck at the sixth rank for many years without progress."
Yafei's lips curled up in a smile, "What if this young man surpasses that in the future? Even if he remains at the sixth rank, he would still be a valuable guest elder for the Mitter family!"
Gu Ni shook his head and said no more. Yafei, with her hands propped under her chin and her large eyes blinking, seemed lost in thought.
Xiao Yu, who had already left, did not hear the conversation between Yafei and Gu Ni. Now, by selling the Snow Jade Spirit Liquid, he could get a lot of money, which would allow him to continue learning alchemy and improve his alchemical skills!
When Xiao Yu returned to the Xiao family, he had just closed his door when a knocking sound came. With his spiritual sense, he sensed it was the long-missed Xiao Xun'er!
Opening the door, he saw Xun'er in a purple dress, smiling at him, "I heard Xiao Yu brother is back, so Xun'er came to see you!"
"Come in!" Xiao Yu said, looking at Xun'er with affection.
Once inside the room, Xun'er wrinkled her nose slightly, "Why does Xiao Yu brother smell of fragrance?"
Xiao Yu touched his nose, "Oh, it's the scent of medicinal herbs."
"Really? Where did the medicinal fragrance come from?" Xun'er asked with a smile.
Xiao Yu proudly said, "Your Xiao Yu brother has become an alchemist now!"
Xun'er, curious about how Xiao Yu became an alchemist, asked, "How did you become an alchemist, Xiao Yu brother?"
Xiao Yu smiled softly and opened his hand, a silver light reflecting from his palm, "This is a technique I learned. I can't explain too much, but you will understand in the future. And when my strength is enough to reveal this secret, I will definitely tell you first!"
Seeing Xiao Yu's determined expression, Xun'er did not press further. Xiao Yu quickly changed the subject, "Breaking through to the Dou practitioner rank in just three months is impressive!"
Xun'er's eyes turned into crescent moons at Xiao Yu's praise, "Isn't it surprising?"
Xiao Yu gently patted Xun'er's small head and said, "It is indeed surprising, but it's also expected!"
Xun'er pouted slightly, "Xiao Yu brother hasn't spent much time with me lately!"
"I'll make sure to spend more time with you in a couple of days!" Xiao Yu promised earnestly.
Xun'er nodded and stayed in Xiao Yu's room for a while before leaving.
The next day, Xiao Yu brought the ninety-nine bottles of Snow Jade Spirit Liquid to the Mitter Auction House again. When he saw Yafei, he said, "Thank you for the space ring, Yafei."
Yafei smiled softly, "How will you thank me?"
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "As long as it's not an excessive request, I can agree to it!"
"Well, I want to see what you look like. Is that okay?" Yafei asked.
Xiao Yu shook his head, "Not yet. When the time is right, we will meet."
Although Yafei was somewhat disappointed, she nodded, "Alright!"
After finalizing all the details with the Mitter family, Xiao Yu planned to return and study the Earth-grade fighting technique, Moon Step, that he had received as a system reward. As he stepped out of the Mitter Auction House, a mechanical voice from the system rang out: "Ding! The next sign-in location is the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony. Reward: Earth-grade fighting technique, Burning Sky Sword Technique!"
"Wow, another Earth-grade fighting technique? The system is so generous! Truly, system products are always top-notch!" Xiao Yu exclaimed with amazement.
