"Third steward!"
The surrounding store clerks were all surprised when they saw the visitor, and then they all saluted.
Qi Mingchen stared at the people next to him in surprise. The title of Third Steward most likely refers to the third-level steward. From the third level onwards, ordinary people are no longer able to enter. At the same time, he also manages the largest auction house around Canglong Mountain.
How could such an extraordinary third steward come to the first floor?
The other party soon gave an explanation.
"The auction will be held in a while. I'll take a look at the layout of the first floor. Just keep busy." The third steward waved his hand to signal them not to be nervous.
Then he looked at him and said: "If the customer does not come to the Star Chamber of Commerce sincerely, then please do not cause trouble to our clerks."
Although the third steward was still smiling, his strong aura did not diminish, and he was obviously regarded as the troublemaker.
Qi Mingchen was not afraid. He raised his hand to open the medicine bottle and placed five round and shiny pills in his palm.
This was the result of his two days. This elixir was originally just an ordinary foundation-building elixir, but it was not easy to repair. Not only did it consume a lot of spiritual power, but it also had to be controlled well, for fear of losing control and completely destroying the elixir.
Fortunately, four of them were completely repaired. When he input spiritual power into the last pill, a sudden change occurred. The spiritual power inside became unstable and almost destroyed it.
After he tried his best to stabilize it, he reluctantly restored the elixir, but the shape of the elixir showed no trace of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
It is neither like the waste elixir nor the original elixir.
The third steward, who was not planning to stay any longer, glanced at the thing in his hand before leaving and stopped.
The clerk's expression changed, and he understood that Qi Mingchen really wanted to sell. He looked a little ashamed and was ready to take it and inspect it carefully.
"etc."
The third steward moved faster, holding the elixir in his palm and pulling it with his other hand.
"The quality of these four body-building pills is very good. Generally speaking, this low-grade pill should be refined by an alchemist's apprentice, but this kind of quality is more likely to be carefully refined by an alchemist of the first level or above. .”
As soon as he finished speaking, the third steward shook his head and said: "How is that possible? If a first-level alchemist has such energy, he will definitely refine red-grade elixirs. How can he have the leisure to refine such low-grade elixirs? It's really strange. "
Finally, the old man picked up the most distinctive one and fell into deep thought.
Seeing such a performance, Qi Mingchen couldn't help but worry. He had seen many inferior elixirs, but he had never seen such elixirs before, and he didn't know what the problem was...
"impossible!"
Suddenly, the third steward said loudly, holding the elixir and observing it repeatedly, "It's not a red-grade spiritual pill! How could there be a spiritual-stimulating pill that's not a red-grade pill! This kind of pill is the most difficult to refine among the red-grade pills. How can it be!"
After saying that, he seemed to be in a daze and started to study.
Seeing this scene, the clerk was not surprised. Instead, he explained to Qi Mingchen in a low voice: "Our third manager is also an alchemist. Once we encounter questions about elixirs, we will become like this. We are usually very friendly. "
What he cared about was not these. Instead, he fell into the same doubts as the third manager. He knew better than anyone else that the prototype of this elixir was a waste elixir of the body-building elixir, and now it has become a low-grade spiritual elixir. It is obviously What he didn't expect at all was that even the fifth elder of the Canglong Sect had never been able to successfully refine the spirit-stimulating pill.
How could a body-building pill turn into a spiritual pill?
"Where did you get this elixir? This must be a low-level alchemist genius!" The third steward's cheeks turned red due to excitement, and then he thought of something and asked: "Did you refine this!"
"No comment." Qi Mingchen was not prepared to reveal himself, and he was not even prepared to reveal his identity when buying and selling medicine in the future. He did not want to attract so much attention when he was weak.
The third manager who was splashed with cold water also calmed down, took out two new medicine bottles, packed the five pills into categories, and said: "I was offended, so let's discuss the price. How many spiritual stones do you hope to sell? "
Qi Mingchen stretched out a finger.
"A middle-grade spiritual stone?" the third steward asked tentatively.
According to the usual cost for merchants to purchase elixirs, it is usually one hundred first-grade spiritual stones, and the market price is about three hundred to four hundred first-grade spiritual stones.
One thousand first-grade spiritual stones is equivalent to one medium-grade spirit stone, which is already a very sincere purchase price.
Qi Mingchen shook his head.
"Ten medium-grade pills?" The third steward frowned slightly. Although the price was already very high, the specialness and value of the spirit-stimulating pill were worth it.
He still shook his head.
At this time, the third steward couldn't hold back his anger and said: "Although your elixir is very rare, it is definitely not worth a hundred middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"I want to change to a pill." Qi Mingchen pointed to the medicine bottle in the other person's hand, "Use these."
The third manager was relieved beforehand, and then asked doubtfully: "What kind of elixir do you want to change?"
"These are the highest value pills that can be exchanged for."
"If it's the highest value..." the other party thought for a while, "you can only exchange it for one of the most common elixirs among low-grade red products. But elixirs are about effects, so it's best to buy them according to your own needs. Rather than just looking at quality.”
Qi Mingchen said: "Is there any demand...then do you have high-quality waste elixirs?"
The third steward didn't understand what this mysterious-looking customer wanted to do at all. "The semi-finished elixir has less than 10% of its remaining medicinal properties. The cost-effectiveness of buying waste elixirs is very low. It is not recommended to buy this kind of elixir."
"I'll change it to this one," he insisted.
"Since you insist on this..." The third steward sighed, "Then let me do it."
The steward took Qi Mingchen to the second floor. The store selling elixirs was filled with light red elixirs. The countless red-grade elixirs gave him a strong impact.
He had never seen so many red pills, and his breathing was almost unsteady, but he still managed not to show his horror. After all, this old man was obviously a man of considerable strength.
Once you find that your breath is unstable, it is easy to expose your strength and emotions. If your true identity is secretly traced, a lot of trouble will occur.
The third steward simply didn't show any abnormality and looked a little uneasy. The clerks on the second floor saluted when they saw him. He waved his hands and started rummaging under the counter.
Soon after, he took out a dusty box and handed it to Qi Mingchen, "This is a semi-finished red-grade intermediate ruthless elixir, but the value of this elixir is not as good as the first-level red-grade elixir. It is recommended that you buy it.”
"That's it." Qi Mingchen took the box without hesitation, turned around and left, completely ignoring the dull third steward behind him.
"Hey, guest, wait!" The third steward reacted and wanted to chase after him, but he was already far away, so he had to give up.
Qi Mingchen came to the stairs and was about to go downstairs when he saw an unexpected person.
Liu Minghua, Liu Mingxiao!
Why are they here?
"This is the ticket you want. You will have to sit in the back row at the auction in two weeks."
"Thank you, second manager, this is for you!"
Liu Minghua took out a cloth bag, which made the sound of stones colliding. At a glance, he knew that there were a lot of spiritual stones in it.
The middle-aged man known as the Second Steward took the bag with a smile and said: "The high-grade red pills are valuable, I hope you can get what you want."
While the three of them were chatting, Qi Mingchen passed by them silently and left quietly. No one noticed this figure with strong emotions.
auctions! Red grade high-grade elixir!
There was hatred in his eyes, and he instantly guessed the purpose of the two people.
Apart from the quota, what else would make them pay a huge price to buy such a precious elixir!
In the street, he walked towards the road to the back mountain.
"Liu Minghua, how can I let you get what you want!" Qi Mingchen looked at the box in his hand, and his eyes were full of calculation.
Returning to the back mountain, he held the Qingqing Dan in his hand and carefully input his spiritual power.
He only had this pill left, and there was no chance of failure.
It took him a whole afternoon, and he exhausted all the spiritual power in his body, but the elixir did not change at all.
Qi Mingchen's lips were pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He put the elixir back into the box, his tired body unable to release any spiritual power.
"It's already the limit..." He knew that the current concentration and intensity of spiritual power could not repair high-quality elixirs at all.
He originally thought that as long as he kept using spiritual power to repair it, he could repair it regardless of quality, but apparently he was too naive.
Qi Mingchen's eyes were filled with unwillingness. After taking a few deep breaths, he forced himself to calm down.
"I can't give up..."
After saying that, he sat up cross-legged and absorbed the death energy around him.
Since the strength is insufficient, then improve the strength.
By running the Wraith Divine Veins, the surrounding death energy gathers and is purified into pure energy, which circulates in the meridians and returns to the Dantian, compressing the spiritual power in it.
Three days later.
"boom!"
Qi Mingchen fell hard to the ground, looking embarrassed.
The color drained from his face, and his hands stretched forward tremblingly, as if he wanted to grab something.
Move your body forward little by little.
Almost!
Just a little bit closer!
Use force to reach forward and stretch your fingertips forward.
Qi Mingchen's eyes were red and he grabbed forward with all his strength!
"got it!"
He couldn't wait to put the dry bun into his mouth and ate it hungrily.
In the past three days, he had not taken in any water, and he consumed too much physical energy to break through the second level of the alchemy. At the moment of breakthrough, he almost starved to death.
After consuming all the food he had stored, he opened the wine gourd and took a few sips of wine.
"happy!"
He hadn't felt such a mood in a long time and couldn't help but take a few more sips.
As a result, the drink was quickly gone.
Hanging the empty wine gourd at his waist, he took out the Wuqing Dan and Fei Dan, and tried to input spiritual power.
The familiar golden light soon appeared.
Qi Mingchen was overjoyed and input spiritual power more carefully.
This time, the spiritual power was also exhausted in a long time, but the difference is that the Wuqing Dan has been completely repaired.
A pill emitting red light lay quietly in his palm.
A thought came into his mind:
The price of defective elixirs is very low, so if they are sold after being repaired, will they generate a higher price?
There were a lot of impurities on the surface of his skin. After cleaning it briefly, he put on his black robe and headed to the Chamber of Commerce.
