Chapter 101 Leaving Yanjing
The red envelope has exceeded 2,000, tonight there will be several more releases, the fourth release is at 8 o'clock and the fifth release is still at 11 o'clock!
This auction ended successfully, but just as it was about to end, the auctioneer announced an even more shocking thing: in half a month, there will be another batch of foundation pills for sale, and the number of foundation pills next time is twice that of this time, reaching four. This made everyone present gasp in shock.
Of course, the reason why it will be auctioned in half a month is that the auctioneer gave the reason that these dan medicines have not been successfully refined, so they need half a month to prepare.
"Zhao Lao, what's going on here?" Wang Gang raised an eyebrow, he wouldn't believe the auctioneer's reason.
"I think it's just a gimmick, intentionally done to increase the profit margin of the Dan medicine. However, I'm curious about what kind of person is so short on money that they would sell something like the Foundation Establishment Pill. In the eyes of those high-and-mighty immortal masters, shouldn't money be the least valuable thing?" Zhao Lao said thoughtfully, somewhat unable to understand.
"It doesn't matter how it is this time, I didn't get the foundation pill, but next time I must get it!" Wang Gang said firmly.
"Not bad, we let two of the foundation-building pills go, but four is a different story. However, I'm worried that there might be another batch of pills coming out from behind them, and in greater numbers. If that's the case, we can't just blindly raise the price." Old Zhao said.
"Old Zhao, you mean there might be another one after this?" Upon hearing this, Wang Gang's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
"I'm not sure either, but if my guess is correct, there should be a lot of them, and they should be the main event of the normal auction. In that case, we can't overbid on the second auction, and we should focus our energy on the third one. But then again, I'm not too sure, if there's no third time, and we let the second chance slip away, the loss would be huge." Zhao Lao replied seriously.
"This is also a good idea!" Wang Gang said: "Unless this way, Old Zhao, you immediately hurry back to the family and ask for my father's opinion. I will stay here, if there is any movement, I can also send someone to tell you!"
"This..." Zhao Lao hesitated, to be honest he also thought so, but he was not quite at ease with Wang Gang being alone here. He knew this kid very well, his temper was too impulsive, and if there wasn't someone by his side to keep an eye on him, who knows what kind of trouble he would stir up.
Moreover, he also knew that this kid liked Xiahou's daughter, and at this moment the two were in the same city, so he was afraid that this kid would do something foolish.
The Xiahou family is not someone the current royal family can compare to, if something were to happen, the Xiahou family's anger would not be something to trifle with.
However, this matter is of great importance, and he must return home to report it in person. But here, there can't be no one in charge, which puts him in a dilemma for the time being.
"Old Zhao, what are you hesitating about? The sooner we notify the family, the better. That way, Father can also prepare more funds to come over. Otherwise, we won't have any chance of getting the Foundation Establishment Pill." Wang Gang seemed very anxious, but his anxiety wasn't about whether or not they could get the pill, but rather that he was afraid this old man wouldn't leave.
This old man, although a servant of their family, has a higher status within the family than he does. The entire Wang family, except for his father, doesn't listen to anyone's orders, including Zhao Lao's. Even he dares not scold this old man, or else the consequences would be severe.
So he really disliked this old man, who was clearly a servant but acted as if he were his own elder, always keeping him under control, which made him feel very resentful.
Now he has a chance to get rid of him, how can he not be anxious?
"But..."
"There's nothing good to be said, Old Zhao. Now the family's interests are most important. I know you're worried about me being alone here, but I can promise you that during the time you're away, I won't leave the wine tower. Can't this be alright?" Wang Gang said seeing him still hesitating.
"All right, but remember what you said, young master. Don't cause trouble for your family's head, got it?" Old Zhao cautioned.
"Ah, don't worry, I'm not stupid!" Wang Gang thought to himself as he saw Zhao compromise, relieved that he could finally get rid of this old guy, but his face didn't show it.
"Alright then, as soon as we leave here, I'll set off immediately!" To be honest, Old Zhao didn't believe Wang Gang's words. If this kid didn't stir up some trouble, he would have thought it was abnormal instead.
So he can only go as fast as possible and come back as soon as possible, after all, family interests are above everything.
"Alright, it's settled then!" Wang Gang nodded and said.
At the same time, in Xiahoudi's private room, the sexy beauty who had previously frowned and said to the old man beside her: "Uncle Gui, please trouble you to go back and return these two bottles of Zhuji Dan later, and tell my father about the situation here, let's see how he decides."
"But Miss Wan'er is alone here by herself, and Wang Gang is also here, I'm afraid..."
"It's all right, Uncle Gui. This is Yanjing, the territory of our Xiahou family. I'm sure he wouldn't dare to do anything to me. You can rest assured and go." As Xiahou Wanyan said this, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
"But..."
"Alright, Uncle Gui, don't forget that my skills are no worse than his. If he dares to come at me hard, I'll make him look good." Xiahou Wanyan said firmly.
"Alright then, but Miss Wan'er, you must be extremely careful!" The old man could only compromise when he saw Xia Hou Wan'er being so insistent.
"Hmm, don't worry, I know how to deal with him!" Xiahou Wanyi replied.
At this moment, Zhang Cheng has already left the auction hall and he also does not plan to continue staying in Yanjing because he feels that there is no need for him to stay here anymore.
After all, this auction is going very well, and these few Zhuji Dandan can definitely be sold for a good price. The Zhang family's problem of lacking funds will also be solved.
In addition, there were only more than three months left until the agreed time with Dan Chenzi, he couldn't continue to waste time here, he wanted to see his elder brother and second sister in these three months, and then take a look at how they were doing.
Afterwards, he returned to continue his cultivation, trying to improve his skills as quickly as possible, and then master more methods of alchemy.
However, Ouyang Qianyun was not in a hurry to return. She wanted to spend more time with his parents. With the protection of that spiritual symbol, Zhang Cheng was not worried that Ouyang Qianyun would encounter any danger. Even if she did, she could easily resolve it.
So he stayed in Yenching for a few more days to make up to Ouyang Qianyun, and then left the city alone at dawn. He didn't want anyone to see him off.
