In Shangyongfang City, the auction was going on. A spiritual elixir was placed on a plate, slowly floated in front of dozens of guests, turned in a circle, and returned to the auction stage.
The auctioneer's quote: "A bottle of Wushen Pills, twenty-four pieces, from the hands of Master Shen Dan of Yongrentang. The starting price is one gold and eight hundred yuan. Please bid on it, fellow Taoists."
This black ginseng pill, which can instantly replenish the true energy, is an essential elixir for many monks. It is especially popular among the Baiyue tribes adjacent to the wilderness, and even the Yong, Yu, Kui and Lu countries.
When fighting or hunting, especially before the real energy is almost exhausted, taking one or two black ginseng pills will immediately give you a few more breaths, and you can persist in fighting for a few more moves. This may be the key to victory or defeat, and to save your life. hope.
Therefore, every time a good and useful black ginseng pill appears in the market, it will never go unsold and will definitely be sold out. Despite the fact that there were three alchemy masters living in Shangyong, none of them could make a good black ginseng pill that could be used.
The black ginseng pills produced by Yongrentang have finally entered the market. With the word-of-mouth spread among users, the price has been rising steadily. From one gold and two hundred gold per bottle at the beginning, to more than two gold now. But it took four auctions and only took a month.
Although Yuan Sima forcibly raised the purchase price in order to support the Yongguo alchemist, the fact that it was sold at such a high price in the market has a completely different meaning. It means that Wu Sheng's high-quality imitation black ginseng pills have been highly recognized by the monks. .
The black ginseng pills produced by Yongrentang can replenish the amount of true energy as much as other brands, and the recovery speed is faster, which can be said to be immediate! What Wu Sheng did was to remove the impurities that would affect the effect when refining the elixir, that's all. But it was easier said than done. He had an increasingly complete chart of musical notation, but other alchemists did not. It is too difficult to "remove impurities".
"One gold and nine hundred coins..."
"Two gold!"
"Two gold and two hundred coins."
"Two gold and five hundred dollars."
"Two gold and eight hundred coins."
When the price was called, the venue was quiet for a moment. This price directly surpassed that of Baiyue Alchemist Zhufeng and tied with Yunji, Alchemist of Fish Kingdom!
Yunji's Wushen Pills have always been very famous in the southern countries. They are known as the best among the four countries. The price of each auction is also the highest in the market. Wu Sheng's Wushen Pills can be sold for this price, which is undoubtedly lower than the price. A lot of people's eyes.
In the end, the bottle of black ginseng pills was bought for two gold and eight hundred yuan. Wu Sheng sat in the corner and looked at the guest. He only saw a white linen suit and a bronze mask. He could not recognize it. Who is it?
By nightfall, Wu Sheng knew who had bought his black ginseng pills at a high price.
After a few months, Wei Shumang came to Shangyong City again and came directly to ask for a place to stay. Wu Sheng looked at his appearance carefully and finally recognized it: "Is it Brother Shumang who bought my black ginseng pills in Fangshi today?"
Wei Shumang smiled and said, "What? You're not welcome?"
Wu Sheng pretended to be angry: "You are welcome to stay, but you are not welcome to go to Fangshi to buy elixirs. If you need it, just come to my place. Why go to Fangshi to be slaughtered?"
Things that are put up for auction in the market are usually priced higher under the bidding of everyone, and 10% is deducted. Therefore, purely from the price point of view, it is unfavorable for the buyer, who will pay at least 20% to 30% more.
Of course, there are advantages, that is, convenience. You can buy most of the things you want when you enter the market, without having to run around, or even want to buy but can't find the way. As far as Wei Shumang is concerned, there is no problem of having no way to buy. He bought it at a high price in the market, which was actually helping Wu Sheng raise the price.
Wei Shumang smiled and said: "The elixir from Yongrentang is a good elixir. I will naturally buy it when I see it. As for the price, I think it is worth it."
After walking through the door while joking, Master Dongsun rushed to order a banquet to greet Wei Shumang.
After drinking for three rounds, Wei Shumang said: "Master Shen and Shopkeeper Dong, please don't think that I did anything deliberately in Fangshi. The main thing is that the elixir from Yongrentang is good and of high quality. The month before last, I built Fengshan After a fight with someone, the elixir purchased from Yongrentang played a big role, especially the detoxifying rhubarb pill. Several of my brothers were able to save their lives. This time, I plan to purchase more, at least a hundred pills. , I wonder if Master Shen can refine it within half a month?"
Wu Sheng said: "That's easy to say, I'll just hurry up and practice it for you."
Master Dongsun asked: "Weizi, who are you fighting with in the wilderness?"
Wei Shumang said: "We had a fight with Skull Mountain. Both sides were evenly matched, and no one could do anything about the other."
Master Dongsun asked curiously: "Skull Mountain? Could it be that those who are practicing are demonic? Doesn't Jixia Academy care?"
Wei Shumang said: "There are many devils, demons, and witches in wild places. How can Jixia Academy manage them?"
At that moment, Wei Shumang told Wu Sheng and Master Dongsun what he had seen in the wilderness, and they were amazed.
The three avenues of demons, demons, and witches are also known as the three major branches of evil. They were prosperous hundreds of years ago. After the rise of Jixia Academy, the three avenues were wiped out one by one. Now they have almost disappeared in the Central Plains, with only some remnants remaining in the wilderness. Baiyue and even the wild lands are beyond the walking range of Jixia Academy, and the Academy is unable to control them. I heard that the Academy had previously sent high-level cultivators to exterminate them, but the Three Avenues had all hid in the wilderness, and the Academy was helpless.
For Wu Sheng and Master Dongsun, it was just a story. The two of them were not qualified in cultivation. One was an alchemy master, and the other was a dull old practitioner who had been wandering outside the threshold of senior Qi refining for decades. They were from a barbaric land. Life is exciting, but life and death are always hanging by a thread. The excitement is exciting, and the life of licking blood with a knife is not suitable for them. While applauding Wei Shumang, they are also satisfied with the current stable life.
Next, the old rules continued. Master Dongsun accompanied Wei Shumang to purchase various needed supplies, while Wu Sheng started to refine the elixir and strive for early delivery.
Wu Sheng spent seven days refining one hundred rhubarb pills. In the remaining time, he also refined six bottles of Ningxiang Dew, sixty-four black ginseng pills and seventy-two winter bamboo shoot pills. Wei Shumang paid a total of two More than a dozen pieces of various kinds of spiritual materials were bartered directly between the two parties, avoiding being exploited twice by the market. Both parties were very satisfied.
When bidding farewell to Wei Shumang, he once again sincerely invited Master Shen Dan and Shopkeeper Dong to visit Zhufeng Mountain. Master Wu Shen and Master Dongsun once again expressed their sincere stance that they would take the time to go there and broaden their horizons. The two sides waved goodbye, full of reluctance.
When returning to the city, Master Dongsun said: "The spiritual materials Weizi sent this time are really good. I plan to send them to Fangshi to test the water. What do you think, layman?"
Wu Sheng said: "Shopkeeper Dong - why are you so awkward?... Well, it's always been awkward. How about you change your name to Shopkeeper Tong?"
Master Dong Bamboo was astonished: "..."
As soon as the two returned to Yongrentang, they saw someone in front of the door, waiting impatiently like ants on a hot pot. It was Fang A. When Fang A saw the two of them, he immediately shouted: "You two are back, hurry up." Come with me, I invite you!"
