Capítulo 62: Chapter 62: Mittel Auction House
Behind him was an elderly man with slightly gray hair dressed in green, and a beautiful woman wearing a red gown.
Wei Yang opened his eyes, scanning the newcomers.
The elderly man's chest bore no golden star or crescent moon symbol. Instead, there was an emblem of a medicinal cauldron, with two silver ripples shimmering majestically on its surface.
As for the beautiful woman, she appeared to be in her early twenties, tall, voluptuous, and stunningly beautiful, with a mature and alluring charm.
Ya Fei.
Wei Yang's lips curved into an inexplicable smile but then lost interest and withdrew his gaze.
As Ya Fei entered, she noticed the subtle change in Wei Yang's expression, arching her brows in slight annoyance.
This brat dares to ignore me? Uninterested?
"Sir, this is Master Gu Ni from our auction house. He is a three-star Dou Master as well as a tier-two alchemist," the middle-aged man introduced respectfully.
Then he introduced Ya Fei, "This is one of the managers of our auction house, Miss Ya Fei."
The elderly man nodded, while Ya Fei smiled charmingly yet reservedly at Wei Yang.
Wei Yang nodded slightly in response, pointing to the jade bottle on the table, "Let's begin."
The elderly man's face was flushed, his seemingly ordinary green robe subtly glowing, indicating its special material and protective enchantments.
His seemingly plain old face bore a trace of undisguised pride, a typical trait of alchemists. He discreetly studied Wei Yang but discovered nothing noteworthy.
The middle-aged man carefully picked up the jade bottle from the table before handing it to Master Gu Ni.
Gu Ni took the white jade bottle, lightly sniffing the medicinal aroma at the bottle's mouth. Slightly surprised, he opened the cap.
Immediately, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the air.
All three brightened at the sight.
Gu Ni glanced at Wei Yang, his expression becoming serious. Tilting the bottle, he poured out a pale green, round pill the size of a longan.
Judging by the fragrance and appearance, Gu Ni and Ya Fei subtly exchanged glances, each nodding secretly.
Holding the pill, Gu Ni examined it carefully, nodding a moment later, his face showing respect, exclaiming, "This is a tier-three Qi Return Pill of superior quality!"
Upon hearing this, both Ya Fei and the middle-aged man reacted visibly.
A tier-three pill, and it's of superior quality?
This couldn't be produced by an ordinary tier-three alchemist.
Gu Ni carefully re-stored the pill, capped the jade bottle, and looked at Wei Yang with respect, asking, "Young Sir, um, Sir, was this pill crafted by you?"
"What? Do you need to inquire about the origin of the pill?" Wei Yang retorted.
"Uh." Master Gu Ni was taken aback, quickly shaking his head, "No, I was merely curious."
"Sir," Ya Fei's sweet and sultry voice tinged with a hint of coquetry emerged as she gracefully sat on a nearby chair, facing Wei Yang. Her alluring curves were on full display as she beamed a charming smile.
She smiled and said, "Master Gu Ni was simply curious, no need for concern. Our Mittel Auction House never divulges or pries into clients' information, rest assured on that, Sir."
Wei Yang's gaze swept over Ya Fei's enticing curves, figuring it doesn't hurt to look when it's displayed so openly. What's the harm in enjoying a glance?
Indeed, she lives up to being a temptress.
After a silent evaluation, Wei Yang serenely retracted his gaze, his expression calm.
Ya Fei's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
Damn it, that's the third time!
This kid, from the moment he entered until now, has already done this three times!
Her heart felt a mix of defiance and inexplicable feelings.
From the initial indifferent sweep of his gaze, almost dismissive, to the pure appreciation just now.
Yes, just pure appreciation.
The boy's eyes were clear, devoid of any lustful intent.
This made Ya Fei, somewhat defiant and self-doubting, wonder if her allure was diminishing.
...
"The pill's origins are none of your concern, and I'm not interested in explaining."
Wei Yang waved his hand, and several jade bottles appeared on the table, "These are all tier-three pills."
"Both standard and superior quality are present, take a look first. If there are no issues, we'll discuss cooperation."
"This!"
Faced with the sudden appearance of dozens of jade bottles, the three were all shocked.
Ya Fei immediately straightened up, composed herself, her chest heaving. Her eyes were fixed on the bottles, her breath slightly quickened.
Including the superior Qi Return Pill from before, there were seventeen bottles in total.
Master Gu Ni was equally shocked, examining a bottle with shaky hands, incredulously asking Wei Yang, "These are all tier-three pills?"
Nonsense.
Wei Yang closed his eyes, not bothering to respond.
...
"This is the Wind Movement Pill, which temporarily increases movement speed... The quality is slightly better than standard."
"This is the Awakening Pill, enhancing one's sensitivity and absorption speed to external energy during cultivation... Superior quality!"
"This is a Qi Return Pill, rapidly recovering Dou Qi... Superior quality!"
Master Gu Ni carefully examined each pill among the dozen.
Afterward, he slightly bowed and cupped his hands, "Sir, I've inspected them thoroughly, and there are no issues with the pills."
At this moment, Ya Fei's gaze toward Wei Yang was already teary and enchanting, her face flushed with excitement. Even her fair neck bore a blush.
This is a gold mine!
Ya Fei's previous minor dissatisfaction was long forgotten. She bit her lip lightly, her beautiful eyes blinking with a restrained yet expressive look at Wei Yang.
Wei Yang observed this with indifference, internally reciting a calming mantra.
Temptress, you can't sway me!
Ignoring Ya Fei's slightly resentful gaze, Wei Yang said, "Let's talk about cooperation."
"Oh, right."
Wei Yang handed another jade bottle to Gu Ni, "Here's another one I nearly forgot."
Gu Ni clumsily caught the bottle, exclaiming, "Careful."
"Young Sir, this one is?" Ya Fei personally poured a cup of tea, handing it over with a slight flattering tone.
"Qi Gathering Powder, a tier-four pill," Wei Yang replied nonchalantly, accepting the teacup and taking a sip.
Hmm, not bad, quality Maofeng, I'll buy some to take back later.
Ya Fei's pupils shrank, her mouth slightly agape.
Gu Ni almost dropped the bottle from shock.
A tier-four Qi Gathering Powder!?
Subsequently, another round of inspection ensured there were no issues.
Despite being standard quality, a tier-four pill is valuable!
"Let's discuss cooperation," Wei Yang said, setting down his teacup.
"Alright," Ya Fei responded seriously, "There's no need to worry about pricing, you must be aware of our Mittel Auction House's capabilities."
"With our extensive network across the empire, we can certainly sell these pills for a satisfactory price."
"Even with a 30% markup, it's feasible," Ya Fei confidently stated.
Regarding sales and the strength of her auction house, Ya Fei was confident.
"I'm well aware of the Mittel family's capabilities," Wei Yang nodded.
"For these pills, our auction house will only charge you a 5% commission. How about that?" Ya Fei proposed a very sincere rate.
Typically, auction houses charge around a 10% commission.
Offering a 5% rate was a significant concession on Ya Fei's part.
Master Gu Ni frowned slightly but held his tongue as Ya Fei gave him a stern look.
"Agreed," Wei Yang nodded satisfactorily, "With the proceeds, I want you to help me acquire herbs and magic cores. Only tier-three and above, preferably tier-four or higher, any type will do. The rarer and more valuable, the better."
"Certainly," Ya Fei readily agreed, her excitement evident.
Acquiring herbs and magic cores?
Handling this too would allow the auction house to benefit internally.
A win-win!
"However, Young Sir, please understand we'll need some time."
"Understood," Wei Yang stood up, "Let's draft the contract. I'll be back in three months."
"Oh, and the tea I had earlier, give me a pound, deduct it from the proceeds."
"No need, just some tea, consider it a gift from me to you," Ya Fei smiled.
