The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 10 The value of elixir

After coming out of Baodan Hall, Matthew quickly turned into an alley.

As he walked forward, Matthew always looked behind him.

He was afraid that someone would follow him.

Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary.

After coming out of the alley, Matthew turned into another alley again.

In this way, Matthew kept walking through the alleys.

Until he came to a luxurious and tall pavilion.

"Baibaolou!" Matthew whispered the three golden characters on the archway.

He had heard Shopkeeper Chen mention before that there was a force in Wangxian City that he could never offend, and that was Baibao Tower.

Shopkeeper Chen didn't elaborate on the specifics. Matthew often paid attention to the affairs of Baibao Building because of his curiosity.

However, I learned from the mouths of some monks that this Hundred Treasures Tower is not just here, but its power is spread all over the world.

The reason why Matthew came here is that Baobao Building holds an auction every month.

Rather than exposing the middle-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill outside, it would be safer to auction it off at the Baibao Building.

Because, Baobao Tower will keep the identity of the person who took out the valuable lot absolutely confidential.

After walking into the Baobao Building, Matthew found a boy and expressed his intention to sell the auction items.

The boy reacted quickly and immediately took Matthew to a room.

Each item must first be appraised by the treasure appraiser of Baibaolou to confirm that it is valuable enough to be included in the auction.

"This is the most experienced treasure appraiser in our Baibao Building, known as Master Ouyang." The boy led Matthew to an old man with white beard and hair who was taking a nap, and said softly to Matthew with a respectful face.

"Master Ouyang, this guest has a treasure that he wants to participate in this month's auction. I would like to ask you to identify it." After the boy finished speaking, he bowed deeply and exited the room.

"What good things can you get at a young age? Take them out and don't waste my rest time." Master Ouyang lazily opened his eyes and looked at Matthew up and down, then said impatiently.

Although he was slighted, Matthew was not angry.

After smiling slightly, he took out a jade bottle from his arms.

After uncorking the bottle and pouring it down, the middle-grade marrow-cleansing pill rolled into his hand.

Master Ouyang, who was originally a little sleepy, immediately stood up from his seat after seeing the appearance of the middle-grade marrow-cleansing pill.

He came to Matthew in one step, and regardless of whether Matthew wanted it or not, he picked up the middle-grade marrow cleansing pill and looked at it.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... What a good thing. After all my years of appraising treasures, this is the first time I have seen a marrow cleansing pill of such good quality." Master Ouyang ignored Matthew and muttered to himself while holding the marrow cleansing pill.

"Those who can refine this elixir must be at the level of a master. The quality is already extremely close to the top grade. It should be that the materials used are limited and cause it to fall to the middle grade. It's a pity, it's a pity." Master Ouyang praised and sighed again. Matthew on the side also had ups and downs in his heart.

"Master, can this elixir be put up for auction?" Seeing that Master Ouyang was still looking at it, Matthew had no choice but to ask.

"Such quality is certainly acceptable." At this moment, Master Ouyang had already changed his face and said to Matthew with a smile.

"Let me tell you the rules of this building first. The auction is held once a month. As long as each lot is sold at the auction, our building will charge a commission of [-]%. There is also a way for this building to directly buy out the lot. Deliver a sufficient number of spirit stones at one time. There is no need to pay commission for this kind of thing. Of course, it has nothing to do with you how much the price will be later." Seeing Matthew open his mouth, he looked like he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. Like this, Master Ouyang explained with a smile.

"I'm selling this marrow cleansing pill for others. How many spiritual stones can you give me if I buy it out?" Matthew asked immediately after hearing that there was a buyout.

What he thought before coming in was to put the Marrow Cleansing Pill here and pick it up after the auction was over.

Now that we know there is a buyout, it is naturally best to get the spirit stone as soon as possible.

"With the quality of your elixir, I can give you the price of four hundred spirit stones." Master Ouyang rolled his eyes and stretched out four fingers.

After hearing the quotation, Matthew reached out and took back the middle-grade marrow cleansing pill from Master Ouyang, shaking his head and saying, "My master's price is four hundred and fifty spiritual stones. Four hundred is too low. I'd better try another one." .”

Seeing Matthew turning around to leave, Master Ouyang's expression changed and he appeared in front of Matthew.

The old man's speed was so fast that it really shocked Matthew.

"Brother, don't worry." Master Ouyang had no intention of taking action, but said with a smile on his face.

"Is Guilou trying to buy or sell by force?" Matthew suppressed the tension in his heart and asked with anger on his face.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm a little presumptuous. We can talk about the price later. If you had told me that you were doing things for others, I would have known better." Master Ouyang rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Oh, tell me." Matthew asked with interest.

"You run errands for the person behind you, and I also work for Baibaolou. In fact, we are all the same. Do you think this is okay? I will give you four hundred spirit stones and give you some compensation." Seeing that Matthew was a little confused Master Ouyang said hurriedly with a heartbeat.

"If you had told me earlier, wouldn't things be simpler?" Matthew said with a knowing smile.

He had seen this kind of thing about taking some benefits countless times in Baiyao Hall. Although he had never thought about it before, now that the other party has spoken, he naturally has to follow the other party's wishes.

"How about I give you twenty spiritual stones and ten Qi-nourishing pills privately." Master Ouyang thought for a moment and then whispered.

"I'm adding a storage bag. If you can, buy it out now." Although Matthew was very excited about these unexpected things, he still wanted to maximize the benefits.

"The storage bag is worth fifty spiritual stones. If this is the case, the spiritual stones and elixirs cannot be given to you." Master Ouyang shook his head and refused.

"Okay, I don't want the storage bag, just do as I said before." Matthew also knew that the storage bag was valuable, and he just said it casually.

Seeing that Matthew made no other requests, the smile on Master Ouyang's face grew a little thicker, he said hello and walked away.

Matthew only waited for a short while before Master Ouyang came back with a small bundle.

"This package contains four hundred spiritual stones. Please count them." Master Ouyang said softly after placing the package in front of Matthew and untying it in front of him.

Since I said I was doing things for others, I naturally had to count the spiritual stones.

Matthew ordered carefully, and even ordered both sides in succession. After confirming that the quantity was correct, he rewrapped the bundle.

Then, Master Ouyang took out another small bag.

Here are the benefits of agreeing to Matthew.

Half an hour later, Matthew walked out of the Baibao Building in a leisurely manner and quickly disappeared into the street.
