272 Han Jing
The Pink Cloud Auction House was the main headquarters of the auction house of the same name back in Scarlet city. He was used to doing business with them, so he naturally came here as well.
He walked up to the auction house and was stopped at the gate.
"I'm sorry customer, the auction is already ongoing, we can not let you enter right now," a lady in front of the gate said.
"An auction is going on already? But it's only Monday. Don't you have auctions only on Saturday?" Alex asked.
"Normally yes. But due to the annual competition and the high number of people in the capital, the auction house performs an auction every single day for this week," the lady said.
"I see. Well, I am not here for some auctions though. I am here to sell some items of my own. Am I not allowed to do that?" Alex asked.
"Ah, of course, you are. Please come with me," the lady immediately took Alex with her inside the auction house. The interior of the auction house was painted pink as per its name and was uncannily the same as the one in Scarlet city.
'Did they purposefully made the auction house to be the same everywhere around?' Alex wondered.
"Please sit here, I will call someone," the lady left him in a familiar yet completely new room and went to get someone.
A middle-aged man with a short, gray stubble on his face walked in. He was a little surprised to see Alex's young face but refrained from making any hasty judgment.
"This one is called Han Jing, may I know what I can call fellow Daoist?" Han Jing asked.
Alex was about to give his name but refrained from it. Instead, he said, "You may refer to me as the White wolf."
"May I ask what fellow Daoist is here to sell?" the person asked.
Alex reached into his bag and brought out a few pill bottles that in total contained 27 pills. These were the same 3 types of pills he had made yesterday.
The group consisted of a Fat Converting pill, an Energy Negating Pill, and a Rubber Body pill. Alex explained what pills he had and what they did in brief just in case the man didn't know about it.
Han Jing however was used to such pills and was made to remember them all. Still, he didn't interrupt Alex during his explanation and simply nodded.
"I hope you don't mind if I check the pills, fellow Daoist," Han Jing said.
"Sure, go ahead," Alex said.
Han Jing brought out a pill tester and started testing the pills.
42%, 48%, 51%, 49%, 45%, 43%, 50%, …47%, 44%, 46%, 55%
After each pill he tested, Han Jing's eyes went wider and wider, showing no signs of returning back to normal. He couldn't believe that he was handling so many pills with above 40% harmony.
There were even 5 pills with over 50% harmony, meaning they were all in the Heaven grade. This was a really high-profile customer and had he known this, he would've simply let Yu Fan take care of it like she always did.
"F-Fellow Daoist, did you make all of these pills?" Han Jing asked.
Normally, Alex would simply say yes. However, he now knew better than to trust just about anyone with such information, so he instead said, "Of course not. These pills were made by my master. She asked me to come to sell them to the auction house."
"I-I see. Do you have any request or demand as to how we should sell these pills?" Han Jing asked.
"Hmm… Master didn't say anything so I will leave it to Mr. Han to do with it what he likes," Alex said.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Let me prepare the contract," Han Jing said and immediately prepared a contract that said that the auction house was in possession of 27 pills with their individual name and harmony listed out. The contract said that the auction house would sell the pills by tomorrow and return 90% of the earnings back to 'White Wolf'.
Both Alex and Han jing signed on it, and Alex walked out with the contract.
Han Jing was very polite even until he reached the door and saw Alex out. As soon as Alex walked out, however, he immediately started jumping up and down.
"Woohoo, I did it," he screamed.
The ladies near the gate were curious and asked, "What happened brother Han? Why are you so excited?"
Han Jing immediately told them about the items he had acquired which brought a round of gasps from the surrounding females.
"How come someone is selling so many pills at once, of such high quality too? Was that person someone the Royal Alchemist sent?" A girl asked.
"Stop talking nonsense. Those pills are trash for the Royal Alchemist. Must be some elder from one of the sects in the capital right now," Another girl said.
"Still, I wonder how they made so many pills. It can't be they made it for the simple purpose of auctioning it right?"
"No way, that would be stupid. You could get much more money from taking commissions on a daily basis," another girl said.
"Alright guys, enough talking. I am going to register these pills for tomorrow's auction, and also I want to see Yu Fan's face when she sees that I got such a good item today," Han Jing said.
"Ah, brother Han, you better not. Sister Yu is used to getting way better items. You will only end up embarrassing yourself," the girls said.
Han Jing got a little depressed when he heard that but quickly shook his head and walked in. He needed to quickly register the pills for the auction taking place tomorrow.
Alex didn't know what to do anymore for the day. So, he decided to just not do anything else for the day today and go back to the hotel to better adjust to the new focus mode and hopefully, master it.
