Chapter 39 Hearing a Crowd of Woofs
Seeing the Shan Family Auction House, which was despised just a second ago, suddenly become a place where everyone was scrambling to buy things, the people from the Lin Family Auction House mingled in the crowd and shouted, "Don't be fooled by her!"
"If a family with such virtue possessed a sixth-grade Qi Condensation Pill and a Nine-Turn Golden Pill, how could they have fallen to this state?"
"Don't forget, Shanjia Auction House is notorious for selling fake medicine."
Seeing that Shanjia Auction House was about to collapse, the people of Lin's Auction House would never give her a chance to make a comeback. They would rather take this opportunity to completely expel Shanjia from the auction industry.
Upon hearing this, Shanxi calmly and unhurriedly explained, "Don't worry, everyone. Starting today, the Shan Family Auction House will have ten appraisers on staff, who will be responsible for helping you authenticate the treasures."
"As for whether it's real or fake, I can take it out now for everyone to verify." Shanxi said, taking out two bottles of pills from his spatial storage.
As the stopper was pulled out, a rich and mellow medicinal aroma surged out like a tidal wave, instantly filling the entire street.
The fragrance of the medicine was neither pungent nor bland, but rather perfectly refreshing, as if it could penetrate one's soul and invigorate one's spirit.
"Quickly, quickly, put the stopper on the bottle! Don't let this precious medicinal effect escape!" someone in the crowd shouted anxiously again, afraid that the fleeting fragrance of the medicine would dissipate.
Sun-hee smiled calmly, then gracefully put the cork back on.
When the bottle stopper sealed the medicinal fragrance, everyone slowly came back to their senses from the intoxicating and pure aroma, but the look of rapture still lingered on their faces.
"Truly worthy of being a sixth-grade pill, it has no impurities whatsoever."
"Indeed, the aroma of this medicine is rich and mellow, yet it contains no impurities. It smells like magnolia blossoms, giving people a fresh and elegant feeling."
"I must say, just by smelling it, I felt that my cultivation level was loosening and there were faint signs of a breakthrough."
"What nonsense are you spouting? What kind of pill can make you break through your cultivation level just by smelling it? You're not some shill hired by a charity, are you?" A questioning voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, breaking the noise.
"Do you even understand the concept of a Mystic Master?" The person who had just spoken suddenly took a step forward, almost touching the face of the person who was questioning him.
His eyes widened, his pupils dilating with excitement: "Do you know what this sixth-grade Nine-Turn Golden Pill means? It's a heaven-defying divine object that can allow a Xuan Master to break through the shackles of their realm and directly enhance their cultivation!"
"Mystic...Mystic Master? Are you sure you said Mystic Master, not Mystic Disciple?" The questioner looked shocked, as if he had heard a fantasy, and could not believe his ears.
Cultivators of Xuan Qi are divided into three primary stages: those from the first to the third stage are called Xuan Apprentices, those from the fourth to the sixth stage are called Xuan Practitioners; only those from the sixth to the ninth stage are qualified to be called Xuan Masters.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to advance.
A third-grade Nine-Turn Golden Pill is enough to allow a fifth-level Xuan practitioner to directly advance to the sixth-level Xuan Master realm.
As for the sixth-grade Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, it is extremely rare in the world, and can be counted on one hand!
"Do you understand what a sixth-grade elixir means? A sixth-grade elixir is a rare treasure that even the Emperor would find difficult to produce. And this sixth-grade Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, do you think it can allow a Xuan Master to break through directly?" As he spoke, the man bowed to Shanxi with his hands clasped, his face full of piety, "Patriarch Shanxi, we were blind to your greatness just now, please give us a chance."
"You bastard! Didn't you just say whoever went was a dog?"
The speaker nonchalantly raised his chin: "A sixth-grade Nine-Turn Golden Elixir can help my old man break through to the next level. I'd do it even if it meant being a dog! Woof woof! Come on, bite me!"
"Woof woof woof! I want one too!"
"Aww! Patriarch Shan, I want one too!"
Suddenly, various animal calls rang out from the crowd, with a chorus of "woof" sounds.
“Master Shan, seven days from now, right? I, Li, will definitely be there on time in seven days!”
"Me too! Please save me a seat!"
"I want one too!"
As they spoke, everyone sprang into action, sending messages by carrier pigeon or mail, preparing to pool the resources of their entire clan to bid for the sixth-grade Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.
The people at Lin's Auction House were furious and consumed by jealousy as they watched Shanxi easily turn the tide.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Shanxi with a sinister gaze: "Don't be too happy yet. After you've sold this time, let's see what you can bring out to sell next time!"
Based on Shan Yixiao's previous actions, he has offended countless people.
Furthermore, those who originally cooperated with the Shan family auction house would not cooperate with Shan Xi at all if Shan Yixiao gave the order.
In this way, no one in the entire dynasty would be willing to cooperate with the Shan family.
"Is that so? Is Patriarch Lin so certain that my Shan Family Auction House can only hold this auction once?" Shan Xi smiled, appearing calm, composed, and confident.
The Lin family head was somewhat surprised to see Shanxi in this state.
He never expected that this girl, who looked to be only eighteen years old, would have such courage and presence.
In particular, the ability to remain calm and composed in the face of a large situation and to control the situation with ease is something that ordinary people do not possess.
Even if the old master himself came, it would probably be impossible to control the situation so smoothly.
Is this young girl really only eighteen years old?
"Hmph! We'll see!" The Lin family head stormed off in a huff.
In his view, Shan Xi was merely struggling in his death throes and could only hold on for a month at most!
A month later, Shanjia Auction House still had to close down!
With the departure of the Lin family head, many customers who had previously purchased counterfeit medicine approached Shanxi, hoping for compensation.
At the same time, some cultivators from ordinary families were not interested in the auction; after all, the auction house was a competition of money, which made them, who came from ordinary families, powerless to compete, and they didn't even have a chance to snatch anything.
Just as some people were about to leave disappointed, Shanxi dropped another bombshell: "Gentlemen, we are grateful for your kindness, but the fact that such a terrible thing has happened to our family today is truly due to our mismanagement."
"Shan Yixiao's actions have seriously violated our Shan family's ancestral precepts and business philosophy, causing great losses and harm to everyone."
"I hereby promise that all those who have purchased Shanjia pills can contact Shanjia Auction House and we will refund them within seven days."
"At the same time, to show our sincerity, we will give you an authentic elixir of the same grade."
These words caused the crowd to erupt in excitement once again.
The customers who were about to file a claim were stunned, as if they couldn't believe their ears: "What? A refund plus compensation of pills? That... that's practically free!"
