The contract signing process went very smoothly. Just as Gao Hong had promised, Wei Zheng offered a purchase price of 600,000 for each bottle of low-grade body-tempering potion, with 50 bottles to be delivered every week, and all raw materials to be provided by Lingyaotang.
In other words...
Lu Yuan himself doesn't need to spend a single penny; he only needs to spare some time to refine the potions, and he can earn a net profit of 30 million every week.
This deal couldn't be more worthwhile!
"I'll have someone transfer the payment for this batch of medicine to your account shortly. I'll be looking forward to working hard for you in the future!" Wei Zheng said with a smile as he accepted all the medicine that Lu Yuan had brought.
Although he felt regret that Lu Yuan had refused to become the chief pharmacist of Lingyao Hall, Wei Zheng felt much better now that the medicinal liquids and potions Lu Yuan had refined had been sold to Lingyao Hall.
After all, such high-quality medicine was unheard of before, and just having it displayed in the Spirit Medicine Hall would be enough to attract a large number of customers.
"Mr. Wei, you're too kind." Lu Yuan smiled slightly, picked up his water glass, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Actually, there's something else I'd like to ask you two for help with today."
Wei Zheng spoke without hesitation.
"Why are you being so formal? Just say what's on your mind, and I'll take care of anything within my capabilities!"
"It's nothing major, I just wanted to ask if I know any construction companies?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.
"Construction company?"
Wei Zheng and Gao Hong exchanged a glance; the topic had jumped so quickly that neither of them could react for a moment.
“That’s right.” Lu Yuan nodded and explained, “I’m planning to renovate the auction house I’m currently running. It’s a large project, and the timeframe is tight, so it’s quite challenging.”
After hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, Wei Zheng and the other man finally realized what was going on.
"I'm an old man who studies potions all day long, so I really don't know much about interior design," Gao Hong said, looking embarrassed as he turned to look at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng also looked hesitant, saying, "I've spent my whole life dealing with these medicines. These things are handled by my subordinates, so I don't know the specifics."
He paused for a moment after saying this.
"Why don't you tell me the name and address of the auction house, and I'll have my men handle it for you?"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Wei."
"Why are we being so polite with each other!"
Wei Zheng waved his hand, and after Lu Yuan wrote his name and address on the paper, he took it and glanced at it.
Upon seeing it, I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Mythical beasts...an auction house?!"
He stared blankly at Lu Yuan, and tentatively asked as if in a murmur, "Is the Divine Beast Auction House your business?"
“Yes! Mr. Wei didn’t know?” Lu Yuan nodded matter-of-factly.
He had assumed that Wei Zheng would have known about this matter long ago, but now it seems that things are not quite the same as he thought.
Wei Zheng subconsciously swallowed.
Little did he know that Lu Yuan was the owner of the Divine Beast Auction House.
I only heard from others that a strange auction house appeared in Yandu, and that it had brought out cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts in three consecutive auctions.
He had planned to check it out this Sunday, but he never expected that the mythical beast auction house was actually run by Lu Yuan!
Gao Hong, sitting beside him, watched Wei Zheng's face change like a palette, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong with the mythical beast auction house? Isn't Young Friend Lu running a pet shop?"
Upon hearing Gao Hong's question, Wei Zheng kindly explained to him.
"Professor Gao, you've been holed up in your research lab lately, so you may not know that a new divine beast auction house has opened in Yandu. Because it auctions off only cubs of the Heavenly Evolution level and above, it has attracted quite a few people to participate."
"And most importantly, the Divine Beast Auction House not only auctions pet cubs, but also rare cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts!"
Gao Hong's breath hitched.
"What? Cultivation techniques and spiritual weapons?!"
“That’s right!” Wei Zheng nodded. “I’ve been busy dealing with the work assigned by headquarters, so I haven’t had time to go and check it out. I was planning to go next week to see if it was true or not, but I didn’t expect that this auction house was actually opened by Lu Yuan. It seems that the rumors outside are true!”
At this point, Wei Zheng felt a pang of pain in his heart.
If he had known earlier that the Divine Beast Auction House was Lu Yuan's business, he would have definitely gone to support it and join in the fun!
Who knows, I might even snag a cultivation technique or a magical artifact at the auction!
God knows how much he missed out on!
Moreover, he heard yesterday that the entry system for the Divine Beast Auction House was going to be reformed, and only those with an invitation could participate in the auction. He originally thought he would spend some money to get one, but now that the person in charge is sitting in front of him, why not shamelessly ask for an invitation?
Seeing Wei Zheng's cautious and probing expression, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"This is my fault. I didn't inform you beforehand! I will personally deliver the invitations when the auction house is renovated and the auction is held again!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng's eyes lit up.
"Thank you so much! As for the renovation, just plan out your ideas and leave the rest to me. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
...
After finishing all the important business, Lu Yuan got up to take his leave.
Using the excuse that he wanted to explore the Spirit Medicine Hall some more on his own, Lu Yuan declined Wei Zheng and Gao Hong's offer to personally see him off. After buying several packets of herb seeds, he finally returned to the Divine Beast Pavilion by carriage.
"Manager, you're back!"
It was almost closing time for the shop, and Zheng Meng was carefully cleaning the shop when she saw Lu Yuan return and quickly went to him.
“A Mr. Wu came to the store and specifically asked to see you. I told him you were out, but he's been waiting ever since! Manager, would you like to go and check on him?”
Lu Yuan frowned after hearing this. "Mr. Wu? Where is he?"
Zheng Meng pointed to the reception room inside, "I told him to wait in the reception room!"
"I understand." Lu Yuan nodded. "It's getting late. You should head back after you've finished tidying up the shop."
"OK!"
Lu Yuan walked straight to the reception room Zheng Meng had mentioned, raised his hand and gently knocked on the door. After hearing a sound from inside, he pushed the door open and entered.
When he saw who was inside, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Mr. Wu? Did you call for me?"
The visitor was none other than Wu Qiushan, who had just won the auction for the fragment of the Frost Palm technique yesterday.
Wu Qiushan smiled politely at Lu Yuan.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to bother you in your busy schedule."
Lu Yuan sat down opposite Wu Qiushan, waving with a smile.
"Mr. Wu, you're too kind. May I ask what brings you here?"
Lu Yuan smiled, but his eyes were full of aloofness.
He guessed that Wu Qiushan might have come for the fragments of the Frost Palm technique, since there were seven fragments in total, and the one Wu Qiushan had acquired was only the first page.
Whether for the sake of the completeness of the cultivation technique or the power of the palm strike, Wu Qiushan definitely wanted to collect the entire book.
However.
Lu Yuan guessed wrong this time.
All that could be heard was Wu Qiushan speaking with a smile.
"I've come to visit today to purchase a Time-type pet cub. I wonder if Mr. Lu's Divine Beast Pavilion sells any?"
