He quickly turned around awkwardly, "Uh, what I meant was, didn't he just introduce me? I, I heard it, I heard it."
Wei Jie chuckled, a sneer appearing on his face.
Li Yuan avoided his gaze, her eyes full of regret. Damn it, why was she so careless? How could she know such a sensitive thing?
I don’t know what the service staff in the audience said, but something that no one was interested in suddenly became a hot seller.
People shouted out high prices one after another, and finally, each box was sold at a high price of one thousand taels. One thousand taels is equivalent to one thousand RMB.
If this happened in modern times, the manufacturers would probably be so happy that they would even close their eyes when sleeping, right?
With byt being such a hot seller, the contraceptive pills that go with it are naturally also in high demand, and even various sex toys have been sold at unimaginably high prices.
Li Yuan couldn't help but understand why the Lord of Night City didn't sell these things in large quantities.
As the saying goes, things are valuable because they are rare. Putting products in the City That Never Sleeps and selling them at auction prices can not only increase the popularity of the City That Never Sleeps, but also reflect the quality of the products. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, I can't help but envy the person behind the scenes, and at the same time, his imagination is opened to a level beyond imagination.
Because she really couldn't figure out how the other party did it?
After a series of modern products, the auction of all the elixirs, medicinal materials, spirit cores, beast cores, skill techniques, weapons, etc. needed for cultivation finally began.
In the Four Continents, practitioners account for 70% of the population, and the remaining 30% are ordinary people who are more concerned about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Of course, there are also such people in the city that never sleeps.
The proportion is naturally not large, so they, who had been extremely active just now, lost interest after that.
On the contrary, the cultivators who had been hiding in the City That Never Sleeps, whether they were from the four directions or the Dragon Empire, instantly regained their consciousness after seeing these things.
There are no alchemists in the Four Continents because of space limitations, insufficient spiritual energy and many other restrictions. The possibility of an alchemist being born is extremely small.
Even Li Yuan only used medicinal materials to make pills, which had only some basic effects on people. They had no effect on promotion or other repair functions.
A pharmacist not only needs spiritual power, but also talent, and a cauldron of medicine. He must even pass various tests before he can become the most basic pharmacist, and then continue to be promoted based on years of experience.
Because the assessment for alchemists is extremely strict, and the speed of advancement is not like ordinary spiritual power levels, which can be advanced with the help of elixirs, therefore, even in the Dragon Empire, alchemists are very scarce.
But in such a scarce situation, one can still buy low-level and mid-level elixirs. What an opportunity this is for the people of the Four Continents?
Li Yuan has always been very interested in alchemists. Now that he has the opportunity to see elixirs from the Dragon Empire, he will naturally do it at all costs.
"Everyone, don't worry. Today's elixirs, medicinal materials, inner elixirs, and crystal cores are all sufficient. Let's take them one by one."
The service staff on the stage saw that the crowd was even more enthusiastic than before, and they couldn't stop smiling, as if they saw countless gold being thrown at them.
If the previous one was a warm-up match, then the next one will be the highlight.
"Okay, let's bid for the first item of this round. It's a low-grade level 5 blood stasis pill that can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and unclog blood vessels. The starting price is five hundred taels of gold. Let's start."
When the hammer fell, someone held up a sign and shouted, "I, I'll pay 600 taels. No one can snatch it from me. Please, everyone. I encountered blood vessel blockage during my training a few days ago, and the blood clots were sticky. I have been looking forward to this blood stasis pill for a long time. Please give it to me!"
The person who was speaking was a slightly overweight man. Judging from the symptoms he described, it was indeed necessary to take the Blood-Removing Pill to resolve it. Although it was only a low-grade level five medicine, it was still a rare elixir.
"Fatty, you have this condition, don't others have it? No, I can't just give this pill to you. I'll give you eight hundred taels."
"And me, one thousand taels, one thousand taels of gold."
Li Yuan couldn't help but gasp when she heard the rising prices: "If I could really become an alchemist, what a prosperous career that would be! This, this is simply turning stone into gold!"
"Are you interested?" Wei Jie saw the fascinated look on her face and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Nonsense, which doctor doesn't hope for this day?"
It is a pity that now, let alone the medical books on alchemy, there is not even a medicine cauldron that can be used to refine pills.
I originally had a set of impressive ice needles, but now they have been destroyed by this man.
It is no exaggeration to say that she is now penniless.
Although there is a small medicine cauldron in the ring, how can that medicine cauldron be compared with the medicine cauldron in the hands of the pharmacist?
"Okay, the price of Huayu Dan is 13,000 taels. Please go to the backstage to place the order, No. 028."
"The next pill is used to cleanse the essence and marrow and reshape the physique. It has extraordinary medicinal effects. Yes, it is the priceless marrow cleansing pill. The starting price is 10,000 taels of gold. The auction begins!"
Marrow cleansing pill?
Li Yuan's eyes flashed, and she didn't know whether this marrow cleansing pill would be useful to her.
"Marrow Cleansing Pill, a mid-level second-grade pill, very rare!"
On the stage, there was a beautiful waitress wearing a red cheongsam and with a slim figure, holding a white jade bottle, creating a 360-degree display without blind spots.
Average quality? No wonder the starting price is so high.
Li Yuan's mind moved, and he raised the sign in his hand involuntarily, "Twenty thousand taels."
The people in the audience were still adding up the bets by a hundred or a thousand. Wow, Li Yuan added up to ten thousand taels in one go. In an instant, the whole audience fell silent, and everyone stared in the direction where she was.
Unfortunately, from their perspective, they couldn’t see clearly what was happening on the second floor.
"This is gold, not silver, girl. Is there anyone who raises the price like you do?"
The girl on the stage was very sharp-minded and immediately shouted: "Twenty thousand taels of gold once, twice."
Unfortunately, before the third call was made, someone else shouted, "Twenty-five thousand taels."
Another woman?
The men's faces twisted in an instant. "Damn it, are you kidding me? Just give us a chance, please? Twenty-five thousand taels? Why didn't you just say thirty thousand taels?"
"Thirty thousand taels!" Li Yuan glanced at the person next to him, a trace of loneliness appeared at the corner of his lips.
Bailifu actually wants to compete with her?
Haha, but she wants to see how rich she is.
"Fuck!" The man who had just made a mocking remark was silenced by Li Yuan's heroic spirit, and they stretched their necks to look in their direction.
"Forty thousand taels!"
This time, without waiting for the waiter to call out, Baili Fu stood up and stared at the wall next to him, wishing he could poke a hole in it.
Li Yuan glanced at Wei Jie, who had been as calm as a rock, and asked, "Aren't you worried at all?"
Wei Jie gave her a cold look and said, "Number 66, one hundred thousand taels of gold."
Wei Jie's words sent a chill down someone's spine. "Damn, one hundred thousand taels, that's not how you spend money!"
Not to mention what a sensation Wei Jie's words created in the audience, Baili Fu was completely defeated.
Forty thousand taels was already painful for her, and one hundred thousand taels was something she couldn't even think about. This price was enough to buy a top-grade elixir, but there was no need for a mere mid-grade one.
"Okay, number 66, one hundred thousand taels, once, twice, three times, deal."
The beautiful waitress in the audience excitedly packed the jade bottle and handed it to the waiter in the audience.
When the pills were delivered to their private room, Li Yuan was still complaining, "One hundred thousand taels, are you out of your mind?"
Wei Jie didn't even look at her. He took the list from the other party and stamped it with his own seal.
The waiter was quite straightforward. He glanced at Wei Jie's name and left without any doubt.
During this period, neither party mentioned money.
This made Li Yuan very curious, "You, what's going on?"
"That's my business," he said, handing over the white jade bottle in his hand, "What do you want the marrow cleansing pill for?"
"Of course I need to cleanse my essence and marrow." Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Li Yuan was too lazy to ask. Anyway, someone was paying the bill, so she was happy and relaxed.
Wei Jie suddenly pointed at the jade bottle and said, "You, you don't think that washing your essence and marrow can get rid of your dark skin, do you?"
Li Yuan's heart was suddenly touched, her face flushed, and she glared at him angrily, "What does it have to do with you? I am willing, is that not possible?"
Wei Jie shook his head silently, "Okay, yours, you can do whatever you want."
