Chapter 116 Selling Pills
Inscription Courtyard.
"Sister, is this the heavy hammer worth 3.8 million?" Xia Qingli asked curiously.
Xia Qingyan nodded and said, "Yes, it's this one. I offered five million to Kang Jing for it, but he refused to give it to me. So I had no choice but to borrow it from him for research."
"That guy has been looking for a sledgehammer for a long time. Naturally, he won't let go easily when he meets a suitable one. However, this stingy man is willing to lend the sledgehammer to you, my sister. It shows that your charm has increased again! That guy is notoriously unromantic." Xia Qingli said with a cheerful smile.
Xia Qingyan rolled her eyes and said, "You think too much. You think he's just borrowing it casually. That damn guy charges me 100,000 yuan a day in rent."
Xia Qingli was stunned for a moment, then smiled: She said, this is more like Kang Jing's style!
"I heard that the explosive pattern on this heavy hammer is very powerful, far exceeding ordinary explosive patterns. Could it be that Muchen invented a new type of explosive pattern?" Xia Qingli asked in confusion.
Xia Qingyan shook her head, her expression becoming serious. "No, Mu Chen seems to have combined the explosive pattern and compression together. After the explosive force is compressed, the explosive force is even more astonishing, so this is the case."
Xia Qingli narrowed her eyes and said in surprise: "Mu Chen actually has the ability to fuse inscriptions. This guy is really... unpredictable!" Fusion inscriptions is an advanced skill in inscription art.
"I don't know what's wrong with this guy Mu Chen. Recently, he seems to be in a hurry to raise money." Xia Qingyan said with narrowed eyes.
Xia Qingli rolled her eyes and said, "Him! He always has a lot of things he wants to buy."
"Dean, Ye Shi and Fu Yuanbao are going to hold an auction tonight to sell more than a dozen magical instruments. It is said that the original inscriptions on all of them were damaged and have now been repaired." A tutor walked in and said.
Xia Qingyan's expression suddenly changed and she said, "Is there such a thing?" Repairing the inscription is very difficult. Xia Qingyan originally thought that Mu Chen repaired the inscription on the hammer by accident.
"Yes, I have!"
"Are you sure these are all repaired magic weapons?" Xia Qingli frowned and asked solemnly.
"It is said that the Treasure Pavilion has issued a certificate of appraisal, and all the inscriptions on the magic weapons are valid." said the mentor who came in.
"There is such a thing. I have to go and see." Xia Qingyan stood up and said.
“…………”
"Breaking news, breaking news, Fu Yuanbao is going to hold an auction." Lou Ruoyi walked into the dormitory holding a flyer and said.
"Fu Yuanbao, auction? What is that fat guy going to sell?" Bai Le asked curiously.
"They are all magical instruments engraved with inscriptions, just like the ones Ye Shi sold today. They all failed to be engraved with inscriptions originally and have now been repaired." Lou Ruoyi said.
"I heard that it's very difficult to repair the inscriptions! There are more than a dozen items on this flyer. Have they really been repaired?" Michelle asked doubtfully.
"The brochure says that all the magic tools have been authenticated by the Academy's Treasure Pavilion, and it's confirmed that there are no problems with the inscriptions on all the magic tools. The brochure also says that if there are any problems with the inscriptions, they can be returned unconditionally." Lou Ruoyi shrugged.
"With so many third-level magic weapons, they can probably sell for quite a few Yuanshi." Bai Le couldn't help but said with envy.
"It's estimated to be at least 30 million. If you give me this much Yuanshi, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend it all in my lifetime." Lou Ruo bit her lip, her eyes full of longing.
Ye Rong sat aside, listening to the conversation, secretly thinking: Did she really lower the price? If it was only 60 million, it seemed too cheap for Ye Shi.
"The auction seems to start tonight!" Bai Le said.
Lou Ruoyi nodded, "Yeah! Ye Shi seems very anxious."
Bai Le asked in confusion, "Why is he so anxious? For auctions like this, usually you have to wait until the publicity is in place before you can get a good price."
Lou Ruoyi shrugged and said, "I don't know! Maybe Ye Shi has run out of Yuanshi to spend."
"Ye Shi has no money to spend. How could he have no money to spend?"
"Ye Rong, do you know something?" Mi Xue asked, looking at Ye Rong who was silent.
Ye Rong smiled faintly and said, "I don't know!"
Mi Xue looked at Ye Rong with some suspicion. Ye Rong had been absent-minded these days, and Mi Xue always felt that she seemed to know something.
…………
Ye Shi's villa.
"Classmate Ye Shi, can you lend me the magic weapons that will be auctioned tonight to take a look?" Xia Qingyan asked Ye Shi with her eyes blinking and a smile as beautiful as a flower.
Ye Shi looked at Xia Qingyan with full vigilance. After hearing what Xia Qingyan said, he shook his head and said righteously, "No."
"Why?" Xia Qingyan looked at Ye Shi with some anger.
"Before the auction, what the magic weapon looks like is a trade secret and cannot be shown to others easily." Ye Shi looked at Xia Qingyan seriously and replied.
"Can't you make an exception?" Xia Qingyan looked at Ye Shi pitifully.
Xia Qingyan is in her forties. This age may not be young on Earth, but for the cultivators of this generation, life has just begun.
Xia Qingyan has a delicate appearance and pretends to be pitiful, with a kind of pitiful grace. When a group of men saw Xia Qingyan like this, they could no longer resist her.
Unfortunately, Ye Shi is not an ordinary man. Facing Xia Qingyan's attitude, the defensive look in Ye Shi's eyes became even more serious.
Xia Qingyan looked at Ye Shi, who looked like he was facing a great enemy, and gritted her teeth in anger. What a bad luck! Her recent beauty seemed to have no effect at all. Xia Qingyan couldn't help but wonder if her charm had regressed.
"How about this, Ye Shi, you lend us your magic weapon for an hour, and each one costs 20,000 yuan worth of stones. How about that?" said Xia Qingli, who was watching from the side.
Hearing Xia Qingli's words, a glimmer of light flashed in Ye Shi's eyes.
"I picked up some Yuanshi for free!" Ye Shi thought secretly.
Xia Qingyan looked at Ye Shi's expression and felt depressed. It turned out that her charm was not as good as that of the 20,000 Yuan Shi.
Ye Shi was about to agree when he saw Fu Yuanbao quietly raise three fingers at him. Ye Shi suddenly remembered that he hadn't bargained yet! What a mistake! Bargaining is something you should never forget.
"Fifty thousand stones per hour for one piece." Ye Shi stretched out five fingers and said.
Hearing Ye Shi's words, Fu Yuanbao's expression suddenly changed.
Fu Yuanbao thought to himself: Ye Shi is such a cruel guy!
Xia Qingyan looked at Ye Shi viciously and said with gritted teeth, "Achievement." Why has she only met these money-hungry guys recently?
Ye Shi opened his eyes wide and looked at Xia Qingyan with sparkling eyes.
Seeing Ye Shi didn't move, Xia Qingyan frowned and asked, "Where's the stuff?"
"Where's the deposit?" As soon as Xia Qingyan's voice fell, Ye Shi's voice rang out.
Xia Qingyan gritted her teeth. Ye Shi, this guy, was afraid that she would default on her debt. "Here you go." Xia Qingyan took out the Yuanshi card and handed it to Ye Shi in a bad mood.
Ye Shi took the Yuanshi card without hesitation and transferred 500,000 Yuanshi.
"It's only one hour. If it's longer, there will be a price." Ye Shi said seriously.
Xia Qingyan's face darkened, and she thought to herself: Why did Jing Chiyan accept such a disciple, and why did Mu Chen find such a wife.
…………
"Shopkeeper." The shopkeeper, who was dozing against the counter, heard the call and looked lazily towards the person next to the counter.
After seeing this, the shopkeeper immediately became more energetic and all his sleepiness disappeared.
"Mr. Mu, what brings you here?" The shopkeeper looked at Mu Chen, and a hint of suspicion flashed through his mind.
It was said that Ye Shi was preparing for the auction of inscribed weapons! Why was Muchen not helping out at this time and instead running to their Dan Ding Pavilion?
Mu Chen threw a somewhat worn cloth bag on the counter and said, "These can be exchanged for Yuanshi."
When the shopkeeper opened the cloth bag, he discovered that the unassuming bag actually contained pills.
The shopkeeper picked up a bottle of pills and took a look. His expression suddenly changed. "Level 3 Bu Yuan Dan, Level 3 Lu Ning Dan, Level 3 Qing Xin Dan, Level 3 Qing Du Dan..."
There were eight bottles of pills in the package, each bottle containing five to eight pills, for a total of about fifty pills. They were all top-grade pills. The prices of these pills ranged from 100,000 to 300,000. With so many pills, the total price should be more than 10 million.
The pills worth more than 10 million were put into a tattered bag by Muchen and thrown here like garbage. What a waste of resources!
"Mr. Mu, where did you get so many pills?" the shopkeeper couldn't help but ask.
Mu Chen crossed his arms and looked at the shopkeeper coldly. He asked with a sharp gaze, "Why, Dan Ding Pavilion collects elixirs and still asks about their origins?"
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and said, "No, no, Mr. Mu, you have too many pills here. I'll ask the Pavilion Master to estimate their price for you."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
…………
"Mu Chen, you are here." Zhuang Yu looked at Mu Chen, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Mu Chen glanced at Zhuang Yu indifferently and nodded politely to her.
As soon as Mu Chen nodded, he regretted it, but it was too late to regret.
Seeing Muchen nod to him, Zhuang Yu immediately approached Muchen with excitement.
"Mu Chen, what are you doing here? Do you want to buy some pills? You can ask Ruofeng, he can give you a discount." Zhuang Yu said attentively.
Mu Chen rolled his eyes secretly and asked Lan Ruofeng to buy it. Even if Lan Ruofeng gave him the pill for free, he wouldn't dare to eat it!
"No need, I don't lack pills." Mu Chen said without thinking.
Zhuang Yu said disapprovingly, "Mu Chen, you don't have to be so polite. We are all classmates, and it's only natural for us to help each other."
Mu Chen closed his eyes and thought to himself: God swears, he is not being polite, he really doesn't need it.
"Zhuang Yu, you probably forgot that I am also an alchemist." Mu Chen narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhuang Yu, and said with some displeasure.
Zhuang Yu nodded and said nonchalantly, "I know! But haven't you been focusing all your energy on the inscriptions? Your alchemy skills must have deteriorated quite a bit."
Zhuang Yu looked at Mu Chen with pity, then said earnestly, "Actually, Mu Chen, I think alchemy is the most promising of all arts. You really shouldn't give up alchemy for personal grudges."
Mu Chen couldn't help but have several black lines on his forehead. Zhuang Yu was really good at making friends.
When the shopkeeper heard what Zhuang Yu said, his face suddenly looked a little strange.
The appraiser in the pavilion said that the pills sold by Muchen were not only top-grade pills, but they were all made with exotic fire, and their effects should be better than those of ordinary third-grade top-grade pills.
The pills are refined with strange fire. What does this mean? In the entire academy, and even in the Xuanfeng Empire, only Muchen possesses strange fire, so those pills are all refined by Muchen himself.
That's quite a few third-level pills! A typical third-level alchemist would only be proficient in refining three or four third-level pills. From this point of view, Muchen's alchemy skills were definitely not inferior to Lan Ruofeng's.
