Suddenly, several more people walked out of the auction house, including an old man in purple brocade clothes, which relieved the sadness on Li Yuan's face.
After the old man in purple robes said goodbye to several others, and when he was about to turn around and enter the auction house, his eyes moved to Li Yuan not far away.
A look of astonishment suddenly appeared on the old man's face, and he murmured: "Li Yuan?"
Looking around, the old man in purple brocade slowly walked toward Li Yuanxing.
"Uncle Qian, I haven't seen you for three years. I didn't expect you to break through to the Yuan Dan realm. Congratulations." Before Qian Yunpeng could speak, Li Yuan gave a slight bow and said with a smile.
"I'm already an old man, so don't make fun of Uncle Qian. It was just a lucky break a few months ago." Qian Yunpeng said with a faint smile, "When did you come to Xia Yang City?"
"More than a month ago. What about you? Are you returning to the clan?"
Qian Yunpeng shook his head slightly and said: "I only came to Xia Yang City a month ago, and I came to see the auction event.
"Are you here to participate in the auction event too? It's a bit early."
"Today's auction event is full of famous people. Who will send me an invitation letter? I'm just passing by to feel the momentum of the first auction house in Daxia." Li Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Hearing this, Qian Yunpeng smiled faintly and said seriously: "Your level of medicine refining is unmatched by anyone in Daxia. The royal family of Daxia is not qualified to invite you.
"It's not easy to participate in the auction event. Just take out some of the Wang Dan you refined and use it as the auction item tonight."
Qian Yunpeng knows Li Yuan's level of medicine refining best.
In the years when he returned to Li Zhen, Li Yuan worked day and night refining medicine, and Qian Yunpeng also obtained a lot of Sanwen Qing Yuan Dan, not to mention that he found a lot of fourth-level materials for Li Yuan.
If Li Yuan hadn't concealed his identity as a high-level alchemist, Qian Yunpeng would have revealed his identity to the Qian family in Xia Yang City.
If the Qian family in Xia Yangcheng knew that he would definitely be invited to this auction event.
After listening to Qian Yunpeng's words, Li Yuan smiled, which coincided with his thoughts.
With his current ability, he can try to refine the Xuandan, but he doesn't have many level five materials on hand, and he doesn't know yet whether there will be thunder from the sky when the Xuandan is successfully refined.
If thunder falls from the sky, with Li Yuan's current strength, it may be difficult to resist it.
Of course, he could also make Shi Chen resist Tian Lei, but this would be a waste of such good training resources as Tian Lei.
Moreover, it is best to break through to the Nirvana realm to resist the energy fluctuations that erupt when the Xuandan becomes a pill. This is the safest way.
Qian Yunpeng walked up to the leading middle-aged female guard, whispered for a while, and winked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan immediately stepped forward and followed Qian Yunpeng.
Pass through the wide gate and slowly enter the auction house.
The internal space was huge, with energy light curtains suspended everywhere. The energy light curtain erected in the center was more than twenty feet long and wide, which made Li Yuan marvel again.
Some of tonight's lots are revealed on a light screen.
"Although I know your level of medicine refining, I still need to take out the things and go to the treasure appraisal hall on the third floor to appraise them.
"They can only report it if they think there is no problem. After all, tonight's auction has already been confirmed."
Li Yuan's eyes fell on the energy light screen, looking for what he needed, and he lost his mind for a moment.
Hearing Qian Yunpeng's voice, Li Yuan, who had just come back to his senses, nodded silently.
He followed Qian Yunpeng along the stairs more than three feet wide and walked slowly towards the third floor.
It didn't take long. When they arrived at the empty treasure appraisal hall, they could hear footsteps. There was no one at all. Li Yuan looked stunned.
Seeing Li Yuan's expression, Qian Yunpeng explained: "The treasure appraisal hall not only appraises the items in the auction house, but is also open to the public, so it is built larger.
"All good things can be appraised here for free. The auction is approaching and it will be closed for the next few days. It will be reopened to the public tomorrow."
Hearing Qian Yunpeng's answer, Li Yuangang was about to say something, when an old man in purple with white hair and a thin body walked towards him. He cupped his hands in front of Li Yuan and said loudly: "Little friend Li Yuan, I'm here to appraise the treasure." ?”
"Master, do you know Li Yuan?" Hearing this, Qian Yunpeng was startled and asked in astonishment.
On the day of Qin Tian's wedding, when Qin Aobo introduced the guests, Li Yuan took note of all the powerful people and recognized the old man in purple, Qian Qinghao, the head of the Qian family in Xia Yang City.
What Li Yuan didn't expect was that the other party actually remembered him.
Qian Qinghao touched a small bunch of goatee on his chin and smiled slightly: "It seems that we have met once."
Li Yuan had known that Qian Qinghao was so polite to him, so he could have just asked Qin Yongtian to contact the former.
"Master Qian!" he said politely.
Qian Qinghao naturally wanted to make friends with someone who could produce two high-quality Wang Dan with three patterns, but he never had the chance to meet him.
Li Yuan didn't know what Qian Qinghao was thinking.
"Since we all know each other, it's easy to talk about it. Li Yuan wants to participate in tonight's auction, and I hope the family owner will be accommodating." Qian Yunpeng said.
Qian Qinghao's eyes suddenly widened, then returned to normal, and said in a deep voice: "What little friend Li Yuan took out is certainly not simple.
"The treasure appraisal hall is not open to the public these days, so there is only one treasure appraiser left. I happen to be going over for inspection, so come with me."
After saying that, he took Li Yuan and Qian Yunpeng towards the innermost room of the hall.
Walking to the room at the corner of the hall, Qian Qinghao knocked on the door gently, turned his head to Li Yuanhan and smiled and said: "Little friend Li Yuan, just give the things you want to auction to Qian Xing for appraisal.
"After the appraisal is completed, the auction order will be arranged according to the value of the treasure."
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
At this time, the door opened from the inside, and an old woman with slightly gray hair appeared in sight. She bowed respectfully to Qian Qinghao and said, "Master, you are here."
Waving his hand, Qian Qinghao said calmly: "Qian Xing, little friend Li Yuan wants to take a picture of something, please help identify it."
"Okay, please come inside."
Qian Xing moved his gaze to Li Yuan, a smile on his wrinkled face.
After arranging a few people to sit down and pouring tea, Qian Xing simply arranged the utensils on the long table and said in a deep voice: "Li Yuan, take out the things you photographed!"
Li Yuan immediately flicked his finger, a light flashed, and a foot-long light blue jade box appeared out of thin air on the table.
Looking at the jade box, Qian Yunpeng asked in a low voice: "What's inside?"
"Three lines of Qi Yuan Dan." Li Yuan took a sip from the tea cup and said calmly.
Hearing this, Qian Yunpeng and the other three were stunned.
It’s not like the Qian family has never photographed the Qi Yuan Pill before. They managed to obtain a single Qi Yuan Pill from a large sect. One pill can produce thousands of top quality Yuan Stones, and most of them were snapped up by the royal family.
At previous auctions, people occasionally brought out second-line Qi Yuan Dan, and one of them cost fifteen hundred top-grade Yuan stones.
The three-mark Qiyuan Pill has never appeared since the Qian Family Auction House was established.
However, the special Wang Dan of this quality is extremely precious, and there is no need to buy such a large jade box to contain it.
Qian Xing hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened the jade box, his face changed with shock, and he said in a trembling voice: "This... this... so much!"
"Not many, just three hundred." Li Yuan said softly with a calm face.
"How many?"
When Qian Qinghao heard this, he took a deep breath and couldn't believe his ears. He quickly stood up and went to the jade box.
Qian Yunpeng was stunned for a moment. He knew that Li Yuan was very good at refining medicine, but he was really shocked when he took out 300 medicines at once. How many materials were needed to do this.
What is the concept of three hundred three-line Qiyuan Dan? If one force gets all of them, it can create dozens of Yuan Dan realms in just a few months.
The small room fell into silence.
Except for Li Yuan, the other three people stared at the box full of pills.
"You guys check it first. If there is no problem, let's estimate the price." Li Yuan coughed lightly, waking up the other three people in the room.
Qian Qinghao smiled awkwardly, touched his somewhat red face with his hand, returned to his seat, and raised his hand to Qian Xing: "Take a look, there is no problem, give Li Yuan an estimate."
With a slight nod, Qian Xing checked almost every pill and spent nearly an hour before stopping.
Each of the three-line Qiyuan elixirs was valuable, and she did not dare to be careless.
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he glanced at Qian Qinghao first, and then at Li Yuan. Qian Xing said in a deep voice: "Because we have never auctioned the Three-line Qiyuan Pill before, we can only follow the price within the eight sects. Estimate.
"The value should be around 900,000 top-grade Yuan stones. The chance of breakthrough after taking one Qi Yuan Dan is not high, so I usually collect ten pieces for auction."
Qian Qinghao said: "We can't do it the way we did before. I don't know how long it will take to auction ten pieces at a time.
“If you miss tonight, you will probably have to wait another sixteen years if you want to get a high price again.
"Many forces invited to this auction have financial resources that are several times greater than those of the Qian family. They were auctioned in groups of fifty pieces, and the auction was completed in six times."
Qian Xing nodded and said: "If the base price of fifty pieces is set to one hundred thousand top grade Yuan stones, it will definitely cause a sensation.
"If you encounter several powerful parties and compete with each other in bidding, it is possible that the transaction will be doubled and the auction price will be 200,000 yuan."
Li Yuan couldn't help but smacked his lips. After calculation, one Qiyuan Dan sold for almost four thousand top-quality Yuan stones, which was much higher than he expected.
Although refining medicine is hard work, it does make money.
Except for the Tianchan Spiritual Bone, which is a lower-grade fifth-grade material and more expensive, the materials for a Qiyuan Pill are all fourth-grade special-grade materials. The total amount of materials is only six to seven hundred top-quality Yuan Stones.
The materials were refined into three-line elixir, which was worth six times.
Of course, this also requires a strong enough level of medicine refining. It is estimated that only Li Yuan in the entire Qinggu Continent can do it.
The level of alchemy refining is high, and the profession of alchemist is a money-making tool.
If the level is low, it will be a bottomless pit, and you will not even have pants.
But refining medicine is still better than refining treasure.
The value of the ingots refined by treasure refiners is dozens or even hundreds of times that of elixirs, but the refining time is long and the failure rate is high.
"It's up to you to arrange it. Head Qian, can I participate in today's auction?
"If there is something I like, after I take the photo, can I use the elixirs directly to offset it?"
After waiting for so long, Li Yuan finally revealed the purpose of his trip.
"Of course, I will arrange a top-level VIP room for little friend Li Yuan." Qian Qinghao nodded.
Then he looked at Qian Yunpeng and said: "Yunpeng, there are still nearly two hours before the auction.
"After a while, strong men will come one after another. They are all well-known strong men. The Qian family cannot afford to offend them, so I have to welcome them personally.
"You and Li Yuan are acquainted, and we will arrange a first-class lounge. It's time for the auction, so just go there."
"I'll make arrangements right away." Qian Yunpeng nodded.
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master Qian, I will leave first."
"Wait a minute. Qian Xing, give one of the pass orders to Li Yuan."
"Okay, Master, I was negligent." Qian Xing quickly took out a purple token made of an unknown material from the cabinet behind him and placed it on the table.
She picked up a utensil, poured Yuan Li into it, fiddled with it, and handed the purple token to Li Yuan, saying: "This is the auction house's pass token.
“From now on, Mr. Li Yuan will receive the highest standard of reception when he goes to any of Qian’s auction houses.
“Also, outside of Daxia, the auction houses we work with are also available.
"We will keep the elixir for now. Mr. Li Yuan can rest assured that I have recorded the information in the token.
“Tonight, this token can be used to deduct up to one million high-quality primeval stones, and the auction will be liquidated after the end.
"On weekdays, you can get an overdraft of 100,000 yuan at Qian's Auction House."
Li Yuan nodded, picked up the token, and bowed his hand to Qian Qinghao, then stood up and walked slowly to the door, opened the door and walked out.
Qian Yunpeng stood up and bowed to Qian Qinghao, followed Li Yuan, and slowly closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, Qian Qinghao touched his goatee and wondered what he was thinking.
After a moment, he looked down at the jade box on Qian Xing's table, with surprise in his deep eyes.
"Master, who is this person?" Qian Xing touched the jade box and asked in a low voice, "I have never heard of such a force that can produce three hundred three-line Qiyuan Pills at once.
"I'm afraid only Aoki Temple and Xuanhuo Sect have such ability."
"I don't know." Qian Qinghao shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Neither the Greenwood Palace nor the Xuanhuo Sect may have such strength. I have read countless people, but I can't see through him.
"That day at Qin's house, he clearly demonstrated his cultivation at the peak of the Yuan Dan Realm, but today I can't feel the slightest fluctuation of Yuan Power from him.
"Did he practice some technique that can hide his cultivation? Or a treasure with similar functions?"
Qian Xing's eyes narrowed and he said in astonishment: "Even the head of the family can't see this person's cultivation?"
"I can't tell, he probably hasn't entered Nirvana. I feel today that he is much stronger than a month ago. It's worth giving him the purple token."
………
On the other side, Qian Yunpeng took Li Yuan to a luxuriously decorated lounge, chatted for a few words, and then exited the room.
"One million top-grade Yuan stones, plus the three hundred thousand given by Mei Xuan, as long as it is not a fifth-grade special material like Wu Xu Qingmai Zhi, it is enough to cope with it."
Li Yuan played with the two-inch purple token given by Qian Xing and murmured in a low voice, with a smile on his face.
After lingering in the room for a long time, he put the token into the Yun Ring and entered the cultivation state, waiting for the auction to start.
"Dong dong——"
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the room.
Then, Qian Yunpeng's voice came from outside: "Li Yuan, it's time to set off."
Li Yuan quit practicing, responded casually, stretched, felt refreshed, opened the door unhurriedly, and followed Qian Yunpeng to the auction hall.
Tonight's auction event was held in the Linyue Hall on the highest floor.
Only a small part of the Linyue Hall is connected to the main building. Most of the area is suspended in mid-air, nearly a hundred feet above the ground. The interior is a semicircle with a radius of more than twenty feet.
Close to the main building is a semicircular auction table made of red crystal that is more than ten feet tall.
There is a three-foot-wide pool between the auction platform and the auction seats.
The landscape created with rockeries, green plants, flowers, etc. in the pool is quite eye-catching.
