After a moment, Gu Qing walked out of the venue and said to Lin Caogen, "Sir, please wait in the lounge for a moment! I will arrange the auction of the two medicinal herbs you need! However, it is a pity that we do not have the Jinghun Vine you need here, and no one in the audience has expressed any interest in bidding for it!"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "Thank you very much! It's already a great fortune that we were able to buy the Crimson Soul Grass and the Rejuvenating Root!"
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir! We still have at least three portions of Crimson Soul Grass and Rejuvenating Root in our warehouse! So you don't need to worry! And if someone tries to raise the price maliciously, you don't need to get entangled with them, since we should have enough stock!"
Hearing this, Lin Caogen couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards Gu Qing! After all, the inventory quantity was a trade secret, and telling him was a kind of behavior that violated company rules to curry favor with customers!
Soon it was time for the auction of the Crimson Soul Grass and the Rejuvenating Root!
Lin Caogen and Cang Yue entered the auction hall and immediately began bidding!
"Ladies and gentlemen! Next, we will be auctioning two herbs that nourish soul power: Crimson Soul Grass and Rejuvenating Root! We will be auctioning these two herbs together! Starting price: 500 Immortal Jade!"
The approximately three hundred spectators around the stage were agitated as they looked at the Crimson Soul Grass and Rejuvenating Root displayed on the stage!
This herb can enhance the soul; it is a rare medicinal material between the seventh and eighth rank, and is quite valuable!
Although there are only two plants, weighing less than an ounce, the starting bid is 500 Immortal Jade!
At this moment, an alchemist stood up and said, "I'll take these two herbs! One thousand immortal jades!"
Everyone turned to look at this person!
It was actually Chen Ganjiang, a level 6 alchemist!
Chen Ganjiang's grandfather was a weapon refiner, and his family inherited a talent for soul power. However, Chen Ganjiang himself was obsessed with refining pills and concocting potions. Now, at only a little over a thousand years old, he is already a sixth-tier alchemist, holding a very high position in the First Ring Continent! Even the leaders of some major sects sometimes come to him to request that he refine large quantities of pills for their disciples!
Lin Caogen looked at Chen Ganjiang, knowing that this man was an alchemist, and his desire for medicinal herbs was self-evident! However, these herbs were related to the awakening of his sword spirit and whether he could quickly dominate the Immortal Gang Continent, so he had to acquire these two herbs. Even if he still had two more in stock, he could not afford to lose out in the competition for the first batch of herbs! After all, he had plenty of money!
"I'll offer 2000 Immortal Jade!"
Lin Caogen said calmly.
Everyone was astonished to see Lin Caogen raise his sign! After all, Chen Ganjiang was a sixth-level alchemist, capable of refining sixth-grade pills! This kid was showing Chen Ganjiang absolutely no respect!
Chen Ganjiang looked at Lin Caogen, his face turning extremely ugly!
"Boy! Are you deliberately trying to oppose me?! You're an alchemist too, aren't you? But with your mere peak fifth-tier soul power, you dare to challenge me! Do you know that I can earn tens of thousands of immortal jades just by refining a few pills? I'll offer 3,000 immortal jades! Boy! Listen carefully! If you dare to be insolent again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After saying this, Chen Gan touched the sword at his waist and then sat back down in his chair!
Lin Caogen said calmly, "We're both at the Immortal Emperor stage! What are you so arrogant about! I'll offer 5,000 Immortal Jade!"
When everyone heard Lin Caogen's reply to Chen Ganjiang, they cheered!
One of the fearless Immortal Emperor stage cultivators spoke up: "Alright! I support this young man! We're both Immortal Emperors, what's there to be arrogant about! At worst, we'll fight it out outside the Crown Auction House!"
"That's right! Young man! I believe in you!"
Chen Gan was so enraged by the jeers of this group that his whole body turned purple!
He roared, "You simply don't respect the Chen family at all! Our Chen family is one of the eight great families!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent!
Someone muttered under their breath, "It's the Chen family, one of the eight great families! They're a family renowned for their weapon crafting! And this person is an alchemist! They're not to be trifled with! We'd better keep quiet!"
Seeing that everyone was suppressed by his family's influence, Chen Ganjiang revealed a smug look and said, "Kid! You're dead! I'll offer 5,500 immortal jades! After I buy these two medicinal herbs, I'll break your legs!"
Lin Caogen sneered, "This is the First Ring Continent, not your Central State! If this were the Central State, I might give you some face because of your ancestor! But in this First Ring Continent, you're nothing! I have more money than you! And my strength is no weaker than yours! Once we're out of the auction hall, you better not leave!"
This was blatant provocation! Chen Ganjiang was utterly humiliated!
Lin Caogen took out 6,000 pieces of immortal jade directly from his spatial ring and said, "Old man! I'm not afraid of provocation! Let me tell you! I have plenty of money! If you want to keep fighting, go ahead! Although Crimson Soul Grass and Rejuvenating Root are scarce, it doesn't mean you can only buy them here! If you want to cause trouble for me! Go ahead!"
Chen Ganjiang angrily said, "Fine! Kid! I'll go outside and wait for you right now!"
After saying that, Chen Ganjiang got up and left the auction hall without lingering!
The auctioneer, without changing his expression, said, "Good! 6,000 Immortal Jade once! 6,000 twice! 6,000 three times! Sold! Congratulations, Mr. Lin, on acquiring the Crimson Soul Grass and the Rejuvenating Root!"
Lin Caogen happily put the two medicinal herbs into his spatial ring!
At this moment, Gu Qing walked in and said, "Mr. Lin! May I speak with you in private?"
Gu Qing led Lin Caogen to the VIP lounge and said, “Mr. Lin! You’ve gotten yourself into big trouble! That Chen Ganjiang has a special identity. He’s not only a member of the Chen family, one of the eight great families, but he also frequently enters and leaves the Imperial Palace to refine pills for the Imperial Guards of the Ziwei Emperor! Didn’t I already tell you that there are actually two more portions of the medicinal herbs you wanted in the storeroom? Why did you have to make enemies with Chen Ganjiang? Sigh! How about I take you to the secret passage to leave this place?”
