Chapter 141: The Auction Ends, A Three-Day Deadline

  Young girl Ah Chou beats the drum on the street, auctioning off the ultimate treasure "Fuxuandan". With such a big commotion, it's impossible to hide from Pavillion of Penglai which is just across the wall.

  Mrs. Kang frowned and said, "Is it Huichuntang?"

  Old Liu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Kang, they are like autumn grasshoppers, they won't be able to jump around for many days."

  "What a pity, such a good storefront was ruined by Lin Yuanhang, a useless person," said Mrs. Kang as she stood up. "Old Liu, last time I asked you to inquire about the transfer of the storefront, has there been any result? Our Peng Lai Ge will acquire the Hui Chun Tang storefront at a price 50% higher than the market price, how did he respond?"

  Liu Lao's heart skipped a beat, he indeed brought people to find Hui Chun Tang, which was separated by two walls, but the price given was more than half lower than the market price, and was rejected by Lin Yuanhang.

  "Madam, the Lin father and daughter are too greedy, asking for a sky-high price!" Old Liu pretended to be indignant. "They don't even consider their own strength, thinking they can compete with our Penglai Pavilion? In two days, I'll go ask them again. If they're willing to sell, fine. If not, I'll squeeze them until they're begging for mercy!"

  Mrs. Kang frowned: "We are neighbors, although we are in the same line of business, it's not good to bully too much. Old Liu, come with me and let's take a look at what that father and daughter from Hui Chun Tang are up to."

  "Madam, this is a small matter, how dare I trouble you with it? I'll go and take care of it myself."

  Mrs. Kang shook her head: "Staying at home for a long time is also very boring." She walked straight out of the counter and stepped outside the door.

  The first thing that catches one's eye is a banner that reads "Top-grade Spirit Dan, the highest bidder gets it", and a group of people have surrounded a high platform, forming a tight circle around it.

  Mrs. Kang came to the front, and at a glance, she saw a tall and slender blue-shirted young man. She exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't that the young man who just sold elixirs at our Penglai Pavilion? He's actually here too."

  Liu said: "He's just a degenerate young master, cheating and deceiving people, madam doesn't need to take it seriously."

  Suddenly, the stern-looking guard from the Yan family shouted again: "I'll offer 120 Winged Tiger coins to buy this bottle of Reverted Mystical Elixir!" On top of his head, the ferocious tiger's back added another 20 glittering golden coins.

  Mrs. Kang was somewhat astonished, one hundred and twenty Winged Tiger coins, for her, were just a drop in the bucket, but to buy a bottle of Revival Dan with this price, it had almost increased by a hundredfold! This made it impossible for her to remain calm.

  "What purity of [Du Xuan Dan] can sell for such a high price?" said Mrs. Kang, "Old Liu, go ask."

  Liu old man reluctantly took two steps forward, loudly saying: "Hey, Lin family's little girl, what purity is this [Fu Xuan Dan] you're selling?"

  The young girl Ah Chou had already seen Mrs. Kang and the other person, she hummed a sound but didn't answer, saying: "Someone has bid up to 120 pieces, is there anyone who can offer more?"

  Liu Lao Tou was so angry that one Buddha emerged from the earth and another ascended to heaven. He gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "You little wench, sooner or later I'll make you submit!"

  A bystander watching the commotion said: "This spiritual elixir, with a purity of 99%, has been appraised by the Xuan Zong and a fourth-grade dan master, it's truly authentic."

  Mrs. Kang, who was standing nearby, heard it clearly and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, walking forward.

  The competition has reached a boiling point, even Yang Dan Sheng and Lie Xuan Zong, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't sit still.

  The two men exchanged a glance, and Lie Xuan's first smile was: "I'll start with 50 pieces of low-grade Xuan stone." He didn't hold the auction item on his head because he was a Xuan clan member, and what he said was guaranteed.

  Yang Lao smiled and said: "I'll give you ten pieces of medium-grade Xuan stone."

  Ten pieces of medium-quality Xuan Stone are equivalent to one hundred pieces of low-quality Xuan Stone. Yang Dan's master raised the price by a factor of ten as soon as he took action, indeed with great momentum.

  Liesheng Xuanzong furrowed his brow, most of the high-quality Xuan stones in his storage ring were used for cultivation, there was no middle-grade Xuan stone, and only fifty pieces of low-grade Xuan stone were left to be used for shopping.

  Gritting his teeth, Lie Xuan's ancestor spoke up: "Two pieces... top-grade Xuan stone."

  Xu Yang was startled, and then a smile appeared on his face.

  Even the young girl Ah Chou was stunned. High-quality Xuan stones were something she had never seen before, and even mid-quality ones were rarely seen.

  Mrs. Kang on the side also had a look of surprise, she already believed in the purity of this bottle of Re Xuan Dan, because one Xuan Zong and one fourth-grade Dan master were competing to bid.

  Yang Dan smiled and said: "Lie Zong is giving me a difficult problem." He slowly opened his mouth and said: "Thirty pieces of medium-grade Xuan stone."

  Xie Xuanzong's face was somewhat gloomy, and he was competing with a fourth-grade dan master in wealth, which was absolutely a very foolish behavior.

  Every alchemist is incredibly wealthy, and those grandmasters of alchemy are almost as rich as a country! Normally, when requesting them to refine elixirs, the cultivators would gather in groups, with each person preparing more than two sets of medicinal materials. After successfully refining the elixir, regardless of how much spiritual medicine was left over, it all belonged to the alchemist, and the requester would also have to offer a substantial reward. If the refinement failed, the alchemist wouldn't be responsible for compensating for the loss of the medicinal materials.

  Lie Xuanzong sighed, shaking his head: "Competing with Yang Dan for the price, a wise man would not do it." He neither lost face nor openly lifted his opponent, doing things flawlessly.

  Yang Dan smiled all over his face and said, "Take Yang back, refine it carefully. If you can refine a counterfeit product, I'll give you a free bottle as an apology."

  This bottle of Revival Elixir was sold for the high price of thirty mid-grade Xuan Stones, a price that even Xu Yang had not anticipated. He gained a deeper understanding of the prices in Donglai City.

  Young girl Ah Chou said: "Master Yang has offered thirty pieces of medium-quality Xuan stone, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?" She asked once, then counted down three times, and with a loud bang, the small wooden mallet fell.

  Although the crowd did not know that the small wooden hammer falling represented a deal, they could feel that it was announcing the end of the transaction. Just as they were about to disperse, Ah Chou suddenly said in a crisp tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, three days later, the second auction will be held at Hui Chun Tang, still with two bottles of ancestral transmission Fu Xuan Dan, 99% purity! Welcome everyone to patronize."

  The crowd was shocked, and Yang Dan Shi, who had just put the bottle of Fuxuandan into his bag for thirty pieces of medium-grade spirit stones, was stunned, his face somewhat crying and laughing.

  People crowded around: "Really? Is it still that kind of elixir?"

  "Three days is too long, we must buy now!"

  Ah-Chu smiled sweetly and said, "Sorry to trouble you all, please go back and spread the word to your relatives and friends. Also, please inform those big family servants' masters that three days later, the second auction at Hui Chun Tang will begin!"

  Several servants and guards who did not obtain the Re Xuan Dan exchanged a glance, with a hint of fire flashing in their eyes. They thought to themselves: "We must let the young master come over, this spirit elixir that can affect the outcome of the Sea Cloud Selection battle absolutely cannot fall into his hands."

  The crowd dispersed soon, and Xu Yang smiled slightly, walking into Hui Chun Tang.

  Mrs. Kang walked calmly and quietly towards the pharmacy in Penglai Pavilion without saying a word.
