Chapter 16: Miteer Auction House
After some playfulness with Xiao Yi Xian, Su Yun began his cultivation. The cultivation process was his regular routine since his golden finger didn't offer direct ways to enhance his cultivation.
...
One night passed, and Su Yun took out the pill furnace, ready to refine some pills. Now that he had broken through to the Dou Master level, many of his previous ideas could be put into practice.
If everything went smoothly, he anticipated a wave of epic-level enhancements.
The pill furnace he used was purchased during his time in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. When he left Wutan City for the Demon Beast Mountain Range, he had almost no gold coins left.
After spending some time in the Demon Beast Mountain Range and selling some demon beast corpses and demon cores, he managed to gather enough gold coins to buy it at the Miteer Auction House.
However, he only managed to acquire two at that time.
Past bitter experiences aside, starting today, Su Yun would no longer be impoverished!
Su Yun took out all the herbs from the system's space and placed them in the room. These were the harvests he obtained in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, including some from the unnamed cave.
Su Yun took a deep breath. It was time to get to work.
In just a week, Su Yun had turned most of the herbs into pills, storing them in special jade bottles.
Most of these pills were first and second-grade, with very few third-grade pills, and not a single fourth-grade pill. After all, he had only been staying on the outskirts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where herbs for high-grade pills were scarce.
Nevertheless, it was enough.
The profits from these hundreds of pills were already considerable.
Su Yun took out a snake-skin mask from the storage ring, did some fiddling on his face, and transformed into a slightly shorter middle-aged man. After putting on the fourth-grade alchemist's robe, Su Yun gave some instructions to Xiao Yi Xian and headed towards the Miteer Auction House.
The Miteer Auction House belonged to the Miteer family, one of the three major families of the Gamma Empire. The power of these three families far surpassed that of the three families in Wutan City, each having experts at the Dou King level.
Among the three major families, the Miteer family was the wealthiest.
In the original story, Princess Ya Fei was a member of this family.
The Miteer Auction House was not far from Su Yun's home, and in no time, he entered the hall of the auction house.
A middle-aged man hurriedly walked up to Su Yun with a respectful expression.
"Master Han Li has come to our Miteer Auction House, I wonder what we can assist you with?"
The middle-aged man was full of flattery.
The news of a fourth-grade alchemist being certified in Wutan City had long spread. Almost every force, big and small, in Wutan City knew about the arrival of such a prominent figure.
A fourth-grade alchemist!
The middle-aged man felt a burning sensation inside. Such an identity was extraordinary, not only in this remote place like Wutan City but even in the capital.
If I can represent the family and win the favor of such a master, my promotion this year...
With such thoughts, the middle-aged man's face blossomed like a chrysanthemum.
Su Yun was led into the VIP room by the middle-aged man.
It wasn't surprising to Su Yun. The special robe for a fourth-grade alchemist couldn't be fake. He probably had someone report his arrival at the entrance of the Miteer Auction House.
"I came here to sell some pills." Su Yun sipped some tea and said.
"I see." The middle-aged man nodded.
He wasn't surprised. It was quite normal for alchemists to sell pills.
"How many pills do you want to sell? It would be helpful for us to have an estimate."
Upon hearing this, Su Yun took out dozens of jade bottles from the storage ring. These bottles contained second and third-grade pills. As for the first-grade pills, although the Miteer Auction House accepted them, they were considered of lower quality. Besides, Su Yun had other uses for them.
Seeing the densely packed jade bottles on the table, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows. So many!
No wonder Master Han Li came to our Miteer Auction House. In Wutan City, only they had enough financial resources to acquire such a collection.
The middle-aged man, being in a position of authority in Wutan City, had a discerning eye. Although he couldn't identify the specific pills through the jade bottles, he could tell that they ranged from second to third-grade.
The quantity was so vast that even the three major families in Wutan City couldn't afford them.
The middle-aged man opened each jade bottle, carefully identifying the types of pills.
Su Yun sat there calmly, sipping tea. A hint of regret flashed in his eyes as he noticed the absence of Ya Fei.
However, flipping through memories of his past life, he understood the situation. Ya Fei had been assigned to Wutan City because the young master of the Mu family, Mu Zhan, ardently pursued her. Their affair caused a commotion in the capital, leading both families to send them away to avoid trouble.
It had been about two or three years since that time, so it was understandable that she wasn't present.
After a lengthy period of counting, the middle-aged man finally finished.
"Phew, Master Han Li, I have finished counting."
"Good."
Su Yun nodded. It was finally over.
"If you wish to sell at our auction house, we offer two options," the middle-aged man said.
"Please, go on."
"Firstly, you can auction your pills at our venue. After some publicity and setting a date, you can involve various forces in Wutan City. This method allows you to earn more gold coins, but it takes more time."
Su Yun nodded. His pills were too much for a single family in Wutan City to handle, but with a city-wide auction, he could secure considerable profits.
The middle-aged man then explained the second option.
"The second option is to sell your pills directly to our Miteer Auction House. With our financial strength, as you know, even though we are just a branch, we can easily purchase your pills. If you choose this option, I guarantee that we won't treat you unfairly. We'll buy them at a price higher than the market value, although it won't be as much as you'd get through auction."
Su Yun nodded again. While auctioning would bring in more money due to the markup, he wasn't concerned about the minor difference now that he was a fourth-grade alchemist.
"If the auction house is sincere, I'll sell these pills to you," Su Yun told the middle-aged man.
