Chapitre 43: Chapter 43 Putting up for auction

The person that was hurriedly rushing from the pavilion was Yin Xing, the genius rank 3 bronze grade alchemist of the 'Treasure Pavilion'.

Every invitation from the 'Treasure Pavilion' had the personal mark of the person who had created it and Yin Xing's invitation wasn't any different.

Since he knew that this senior would be coming today, Yin Xing had ordered the people at the entrance to immediately inform him if a person who was dressed in black robes and was carrying his invitation were to appear today.

As soon as the disciples stationed at the entrance recognized Yin Xing's personal mark in Shun Long's invitation, they rushed to inform him that the person he was waiting for had arrived, and Yin Xing in turn hurried towards the entrance.

''Senior please come in.''

As soon as Shun Long and Yin Xing had disappeared inside the pavilion, the people outside started whispering

''Senior brother, could it be that this person is some kind of senior alchemist who is of even higher rank than alchemist Yin? Wouldn't such a person be at the silver grade then?''

His senior brother nodded his head as he said

''Mhm, he must definitely be at least in the silver grade if senior Yin came rushing and was so polite to him''

While these discussions were taking place at the pavilion's entrance, Yin Xing was guiding Shun Long deep inside the first floor, towards the depths of the 'Treasure Pavilion' where 2 huge doors were wide open and guards were stationed at the sides.

Shun Long followed Yin Xing as they entered inside, and he noticed that there were 2 paths that they could follow. One path was leading straight ahead after entering the doors, towards the 'outer seats' where people without invitations would sit. Yin Xing instead led Shun Long through the side entrance until they reached the private booths, where only people with invitations were allowed to seat themselves.

''Senior, this way please'' Yin Xing said as he pointed towards a private booth with the number 6 on it.

Shun Long entered inside and Yin Xing followed behind him.

Although the room was relatively small, in terms of luxuriousness it was perhaps even superior to the 'Mystifying Fragrance Pavilion'.

The room had a luxurious red couch in the center and a table in front of it filled with food and wine. The 'Treasure Pavilion' had paid a lot of attention to the decorations of these rooms, as they were all meant for important people.

Shun Long took a look at the room before turning his head to look at Yin Xing who was standing behind him and was looking at him eagerly.

Shun Long laughed before saying in that altered heavy voice of his

''Do you have anything that you want to ask?''

Yin Xing hurriedly shook his head as he answered

''No senior, I just wanted to know if you find everything to your liking.''

''Yes, everything is good so far. Especially this couch that is made from the fur of a peak rank 2 'scarlet furred wolf''' Shun Long answered

Yin Xing's eyes shone as he said

''As expected from a great alchemist such as senior, you understood what the couch is made from just by throwing a single glance at it''

Yin Xing was honestly impressed by Shun Long. A great alchemist had to know, not just how to mix medicinal herbs, but also have a wide knowledge regarding magical beasts.

Shun Long of course had absorbed so much knowledge regarding medicinal herbs, magical beasts, and even the human body, that it was child's play for him to understand that this couch was made from the fur of a peak rank 2 magical beast.

Yin Xing looked at Shun Long eagerly as he asked

''Senior, do you happen to have any more of those 'Qi barrier-breaking' pills?''

Shun Long just smiled under his robes as Yin Xing continued

''To tell the truth to senior, the 5 'Qi barrier-breaking' pills that senior sold to our 'Treasure Pavilion' last time were bought by 2 high-rank Elders of our sect, and they have been pressuring me about them ever since.''

Shun Long felt somewhat afraid inside as if his identity were to be exposed, who knew how the sect would react if they were to learn that a rank 7 outer disciple can refine these kinds of medicinal pills? He took a deep breath to steel his nerves and said in a very heavy and stern voice to Yin Xing

''I hope that there won't be any people learning of our deal, otherwise you can forget about obtaining a single pill from me in the future.''

Yin Xing could make out the irritation in Shun Long's voice and hurriedly said

''Senior please rest assured. Although I said that the pills were bought from some mysterious senior, I, Yin Xing would never leak things that senior doesn't want other people to know.''

Shun Long nodded his head and said

''That's good then''

Then he took out 12 bottles of pills, with 10 pills inside each bottle as he said

''Here are 120 'Qi barrier-breaking' pills. Do you think you can put them up in today's auction?''

Yin Xing's eyes shone with excitement when he saw the pills.

Chapitre 44: Chapter 44 Auctioning the pills

Yin Xing's eyes shone with excitement as he happily nodded his head at Shun Long's question.

The higher-ups of the 'Treasure Pavilion' had pressured him quite a lot to reveal the creator of these special 'Qi barrier-breaking' pills, however, when they noticed that Yin Xing wouldn't reveal anything they eventually gave up but they still told him that he had to do everything he can to get more of these pills.

Yin Xing had heard that some of the seniors in the sect had gifted these pills to their disciples and just a few days ago, 3 of those disciples who had consumed these pills had left seclusion while their cultivations had sky-rocketed from the peak of rank 6 in qi condensation all the way to the middle of rank 7.

This was many months of hard work, all skipped thanks to one pill.

It was natural that people would go crazy for it.

Yin Xing received the pills as he said to Shun Long with excitement

''Don't worry senior, I will definitely place the pills at the end of the auction.''

Shun Long shook his head as he said

''I want you to put the pills at the start of the auction, the closer to the start the better actually. I also want you to sell them in 4 different batches, 30 pills at a time.''

Yin Xing was baffled as he asked Shun Long

''But senior, isn't it better to put them towards the end of the auction so that they can be sold for a higher price? Usually, the more expensive goods are always placed at the ending of the auctions.''

Shun Long knew that Yin Xing was right, but he wanted to know how much the 'Qi barrier-breaking' pills would be sold for, so he could use the sect points from the profits to bid for the 'fire-spirit fruit' and the 'water element grass'.

Yin Xing didn't seem to understand but he still listened to Shun Long and left the room to quickly arrange for the 'Qi barrier-breaking' pills to be auctioned as early as possible.

Shun Long sat on the couch and he could see everyone below who was sitting on the 'outer seats', while he also had a clear view of the main stage where the auctioneer would stand on.

Time quickly passed and soon, 2 hours had already gone by.

The private rooms were now almost full while the outer seats below didn't have any more room for people to sit.

The lights of the 'Auction Hall' slowly dimmed as a beautiful young woman in green clothes had appeared at the main stage down below.

Shun Long's eyes widened as he recognized her.

The young woman smiled at the crowd as she said

''Honorable guests, welcome to our 'Treasure Pavilion's' monthly auction. I, Lan Jinjing will act as your auctioneer today. I hope that you are all excited, as we have many special treasures for today's auction.''

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd in the outer seats started to silently discuss

''Isn't that miss Lan Jinjing? I thought that she acts as the auctioneer only for the yearly auctions of the 'Treasure 'Pavilion'. Why is she participating in the auction of this month?''

''I also saw Elder Lu Niu and Elder Meng Liang enter earlier. Could it be that there are some special treasures in this auction?''

The beautiful auctioneer, Lan Jinjing was the girl who was next to the stunning Liu Mei whom Shun Long had met when he visited the 'Alchemist's Guild'.

Lan Jinjing gestured with her hand and the crowd quietened, as she started speaking

''I'm certain that everyone here knows the rules. Every item starts with a minimum price, and the guests with the highest bid in the end can obtain them. Without further ado, this month's auction officially starts now''

Lan Jinjing said as she clapped her hands, and 2 outer disciples carried the first item for the auction on the main stage, a black bow.

''Dear guests, the first item for today's auction is a creation of master Dugu's the 'air-piercing bow'. As you all may know, 'Formation master Dugu' is a rank1 silver grade formation master and although this bow is merely at the pinnacle of rank3 bronze grade, it is a perfect weapon for anyone below the Heaven grade who is proficient in archery

The minimum bid is 1000 sect points and every increment must be at least 50 sect points higher than the last bid''

''1050''

''1120''

''1190''

In the end, the black bow was sold for 1500 sect points to an outer disciple girl who was sitting at the outer seats.

After 2 more items were sold, the auctioneer Lan Jinjing took a deep breath as she said

''The fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh items in today's auction are a bit special. Originally our 'Treasure Pavilion' would put them towards the end of the auction but the senior who sold them insisted on them being auctioned at the start.''

A small table was carried at the center of the main stage and 3 small bottles with 10 pills inside them could be seen as Lan Jinjing continued explaining

''These are some very special 'Qi barrier-breaking' pills that can help people at the peak of rank 6 to directly advance to rank 7. Our pavilion has also verified that there is a high chance for those who consume these pills to directly reach the middle of rank7 in qi condensation.''

As soon as these words were spoken, before Lan Jinjing could list the minimum price of the pills, the crowd had already erupted in an uproar.
