Chapter 110: Auction, Pure Accumulation Pill
Before long, a person walked in, and Lin Jing looked up to see that it was Elder
Yu.
Following that, Manager Zhao stepped forward and greeted Elder Yu with a fist salute: “Elder Yu…”
“This friend’s auction item is a Pure Elixir Medicine, and according to the rules, elixirs and similar items fall under your purview for authentication, please take the trouble, Elder.”
Saying this, he handed the Pure Accumulation Pill to Elder Yu.
Elder Yu took the Pure Jade Box, and he too was taken aback for a moment.
It seemed he had not anticipated that the elixir would be a Pure Accumulation Pill.
Next, Elder Yu held the Pure Jade Box and began to carefully inspect the elixir inside.
This Pure Accumulation Pill had a dazzling surface, and the internal liquid seemed alive, slowly flowing, clearly visible to the naked eye. It was obviously not long since it had been refined.
After a while, Elder Yu said to Lin Jing:
“Friend, we will need to open the Pure Jade Box to conduct a thorough check of the elixir, and I need to inform you of this step.”
“Opening the Pure Jade Box is a necessary step in the inspection of Pure Elixir Medicines, that’s of course, no problem.”
Lin Jing responded.
Subsequently, Elder Yu placed the Pure Jade Box on the table and then gently opened it.
The moment the Pure Jade Box was opened, the scent of the elixir filled the air and quickly permeated the entire room.
Elder Yu took a deep breath and showed a hint of approval on his face.
He then opened the Pure Jade Box completely and took a closer look at the elixir.
A moment later, with a “snap”, the Pure Jade Box was closed.
Elder Yu nodded and said to Manager Zhao.
“The elixir is fine, the rest is up to you.” Manager Zhao nodded.
Then, Elder Yu gave a fist salute to Lin Jing.
“Friend, the item you have provided for the auction has been fully authenticated and is without issue.”
“For what comes next, you can discuss it with Manager Zhao, I take my leave.”
Lin Jing also saluted Elder Yu with his fist.
“Farewell.”
Afterward, Manager Zhao spoke:
“Friend, here at Yuebaolou, the auction times are arranged based on the value of the items.”
“Of course, if you prefer something else, you can also choose your own auction time.”
“May I know if you have any preferences?”
“I would like my item to be auctioned on the first day,” Lin Jing stated directly.
“That is naturally no problem, I will arrange it for you.”
After speaking, Manager Zhao then said:
“Additionally, participating in our auction, we will take a fee of half a tenth of the final hammer price as a commission; this must be communicated to you beforehand.”
Half a tenth, that is, 5% of the final sale price.
“I am naturally aware of this,” Lin Jing nodded.
Following that, Manager Zhao took out a token and handed it to Lin Jing. This was an entry token for the auction; with it, one could enter the auction venue.
Lin Jing accepted the token.
After that, Manager Zhao then asked:
“Friend, would vou like a list of the auction items?”
Lin Jing nodded, “Let’s take one.”
“Very well, please wait a moment, friend.”
As soon as Manager Zhao finished speaking, he instructed a maid nearby to fetch a list of auction items.
“This list of auction items is not very detailed for now; tomorrow when you enter the venue, someone will distribute a detailed list, and that will be the one to follow.”
“Understood,” said Lin Jing.
Before long, the maid returned and handed the list to Lin Jing.
Afterward, Manager Zhao handed over the written auction item certificate to Lin Jing. After the auction ended, he could claim the auction proceeds in Spirit Stones with this certificate.
Lin Jing tucked away the certificate and bid farewell to leave.
The auction venue wasn’t held within Yuebaolou.
Instead, it took place in a huge auction arena situated in the middle of Fang Market, which was specifically built for auctions by the market itself.
That’s because the auctions at Fang Market weren’t limited to Yuebaolou. Sometimes, other forces would also hold auctions, and even the Fang Market organizers would do the same.
After returning, Lin Jing glanced through the list and found that there were no significant changes from before and he did not find anything he particularly wanted.
Then, taking advantage of the early hour, Lin Jing once again entered the System Space, attempting to refine several more Elixir Furnace Medicines.
This alchemy session continued straight into the next morning…
Lin Jing emerged from the System Space with a smile on his lips.
Although he now felt groggy and listless, he had managed, in the very last batch, to refine another Pure Accumulation Pill.
With that, it should be about enough.
Just as Lin Jing sat cross-legged and thought about meditating to rest for a while,
“Knock, knock, knock”
The sound of knocking on the door rang out. Without needing to guess, it was definitely Huang Qingling once again.
Lin Jing, feeling resigned, got up and walked towards the courtyard door.
Upon opening the door, as expected, it was Huang Qingling standing there.
“Lin Jing, you don’t seem very spirited. What’s wrong?” Huang Qingling asked with concern.
“I was refining elixirs until just now, getting ready to meditate and rest when you came,” Lin Jing replied candidly.
“Alright then…”
“The reason I am here is to tell you that I’m heading to the auction now.”
“Why are you going so early? Doesn’t it start at Chen Time?” Lin Jing questioned with confusion.
“I have to stop by Yuebaolou first. I’m running late.”
After saying this, Huang Qingling continued,
“Don’t worry, if I get a chance, I’ll definitely teach that Liu Yiyuan a lesson for you.”
Lin Jing quickly cautioned, “Fellow Daoist Qing Ling, please don’t be impulsive.”
“Rest assured, this time I am with Old Man Bai, I understand the situation and won’t act rashly,” Huang Qingling assured him.
“Alright then, I’m off.”
Without waiting for Lin Jing’s response, Huang Qingling departed.
The time was still earlv. iust Dast Chen Time – that is. around 7 0’clock in the morning – and the auction would not begin until Chen Time, which was around 9 0’clock in the morning.
There was still time to spare.
So, after Huang Qingling left, Lin Jing continued to meditate for recovery.
It wasn’t until half an hour later, when the time was almost right, that he stopped meditating and prepared to set out.
Now, he felt much more spirited than before.
Then, Lin Jing went out, returned to a secluded corner, and entered System Space again.
Soon after, the same middle-aged man from the day before appeared.
He headed towards the auction venue.
Upon reaching the main street of Fang Market, although it was early morning, the street was already bustling with people because of the auction.
Many familiar faces were in groups, all heading towards the auction venue.
The auction venue was not very far; it took less than two fifteen-minute periods for Lin Jing to arrive near the venue.
From afar, the auction venue looked quite imposing; a palace-like ancient building stood erect, occupying a vast space, easily comparable to several Drunken Immortal Pavilions.
At the entrance of the venue, a red carpet was laid out, and maids stood in two rows on both sides. Additionally, managers from Yuebaolou were present at the entrance to receive the important figures of Fang Market.
However, Elder Bai was nowhere to be seen, probably meeting with the ancestors of various families.
Afterward, Lin Jing walked forward.
Just then, a beautiful silhouette rapidly swept past him, bringing a breeze along with it.
At the same time, a very familiar fragrance wafted into Lin Jing’s nose with that breeze. It was none other than Huang Qingling who had just sped by him.
Right after Huang Qingling passed by, another familiar voice came from behind.
“Sister Qing Ling, what a coincidence, we meet again.”
