Chapter 8 Miter Auction House

Chapter 8 Miter Auction House
After looking around in the magnificent hall, Xiao Ling found a room with the words "Treasure Appraisal Room" written in large golden strokes. He then walked towards it.

Walking into the treasure appraisal room, the room was a little empty. Beside the antique tea table, an old man was holding a book and reading leisurely. Xiao Ling used his soul power to sense it a little bit, and found that he couldn't tell the cultivation level at all. He was either an ordinary person or his cultivation level was higher than his.

Seeing someone coming in, the elegant old man put down the book in his hand and showed a friendly smile on his face, "Excuse me, are you going to identify the treasure?" But his eyes were looking at the figure under the black robe, and when he found that he couldn't see anything, he withdrew his gaze.

"Pills." A hoarse voice came from under the black robe. It was impossible to tell the age of the person. It was a voice that Xiao Ling deliberately concealed.

Then he patted his belt and took out a white jade bottle from the Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night. Inside was the fourth-grade Qi Gathering Pill that Xiao Xun'er had given to Xiao Ling. However, since Xiao Ling had already drawn one through the system, he didn't need the extra one.

"I feel a little sorry for Xun'er this time. I will have to apologize to her when I have the chance in the future." Xiao Ling muttered to himself.

The old man picked up the jade bottle and was about to check it when Xiao Ling's hoarse voice came.

"What's contained in here is a fourth-grade medicinal pill, the Qi Gathering Powder. It has a 100% efficacy in helping practitioners break through from the ninth stage of Fighting Qi to the level of Fighter. You should quickly find a suitable person to test it." Being familiar with the original work, he was too lazy to bother with the extras.

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will ask the steward to come and identify it." The old man put down the jade bottle, turned around and left his seat, walking towards the inner room.

After a while, the old man came back, followed by an old man with white hair.

Xiao Ling took a quick look at the alchemist's robe, and there were two silver waves on the danwen badge on the chest. He thought to himself: "Is this the Gu Ni in the original book? I just don't know if Ya Fei has come to Wutan City now. She probably hasn't come yet, after all, she may not be an adult at this time."

"Sir, this is Master Gu Ni from this auction house. He is a three-star Grand Master and also a distinguished second-grade alchemist."

After Gu Ni sat down, he picked up the jade bottle on the table, examined it carefully, opened the stopper on the jade bottle, and looked inside. Sure enough, it was a round-colored fourth-grade pill, Qi Gathering Powder.

Putting down the jade bottle, Gu Ni said, "Sir, this is indeed the fourth-grade Qi Condensation Pill. Do you plan to sell it or auction it? If you sell it, the price will be lower but you can pay directly. If you auction it, the price will be higher, but you need to wait for a while. Our auction house will promote it for a while. After all, in Wutan City, apart from the three major families, no other forces can afford the fourth-grade pill."

Touching his chin, Xiao Ling thought for a while before speaking: "Sell it directly. My time is limited. Please give me a price quickly."

Gu Ni lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "If this is the case, the price can only be 300,000 gold coins. It may be a bit troublesome if it is not convenient to sell it."

When Xiao Ling heard that the old guy wanted to rip him off, he immediately became unhappy. Having read the original novel, he knew that the price of a Qi Gathering Powder was about 400,000 gold coins, and it would definitely sell for more in other big cities.

I, Xiao Ling, and your Miter family are connected by heart. Your Miter family wants to play tricks on me, Xiao Ling, right? Xiao Ling pulled his black robe, lowered his voice, and said to Gu Ni: "Don't treat me as a rookie who doesn't understand the market. Besides, this Qi Gathering Powder has a normal origin. The minimum price is 400,000 gold coins. If you are sincere in the transaction, you can use the beast fire of the same value to exchange for this fourth-grade Qi Gathering Powder. I just need the beast fire for cultivation now."

Gu Ni frowned and started thinking. At first he just thought that the man in black was just lucky and got this Qi Gathering Powder by chance. He planned to sell it in exchange for some gold coins. Now it seems that he should be a connoisseur of value.

"Then use 400,000 gold coins to purchase this Qi Gathering Powder. If you need beast fire, you need to transfer it from other higher-level auction houses. These gold coins can buy three fourth-level beast fires. As far as I know, it seems that only the headquarters in the family has fifth-level beast fire." In order to earn more merit, Gu Ni made up his mind to agree. After all, in this small Wutan City, fourth-grade elixirs are rare to see, and he himself is only a second-grade alchemist and cannot refine elixirs of this grade at all.

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Xiao Ling also showed a gentle smile, "That's fine, the beast fire will be delivered sometime, and the poisonous ones are not needed."

"It will take about a week to deliver to Wutan City. Just come to me next week with this token." Gu Ni smiled and took out a golden standard token from his arms and handed it to Xiao Ling.

After taking the token and putting it on his waist, Xiao Ling said with a smile: "Wait for good news. I will come again at noon in a week."

After saying that, he turned around and walked straight outside, soon disappearing from Gu Ni's sight.

Looking at Xiao Ling's back as he left, Gu Ni muttered, "What a weirdo." When his gaze shifted to the jade bottle containing the Qi Gathering Powder, his eyes became hot. He picked up the jade bottle and walked towards the inner room. He had to keep this pill well. If anything unexpected happened, he would be severely punished by the Mittel family.

After walking out of the Mitel Auction House, Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing dangerous happened. He just had to wait until next week to come back to get the beast fire. The Burning Art should be able to evolve to the advanced yellow level. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and walked towards the Xiao family.

Walking into the Xiao family, family members greeted Xiao Ling one after another.

"Cousin Xiao Ling, your aura has become stronger and your cultivation has improved again!"

"Cousin Xiao Ling, have you just come back from outside?"

"Cousin Xiao Ling is getting more and more handsome. Can you come to my room tonight to teach me how to practice?"

Xiao Ling did not put on an air of looking down on others, and greeted them very gently. When he heard that a sister wanted to invite him to practice in her room at night, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he complained in his heart: "Bah, you want me to teach you how to practice? You are just greedy for my body, you are cheap!"

Suddenly, Xiao Ling saw a person outside the crowd, walking towards the back mountain very carefully. He looked carefully and found that it was Xiao Yan. What was he doing so quietly? Wasn't he going to the place where the girls took baths? Could it be...
