What is Qin Ran doing in Xiancheng this time
Two things.
First, he wanted to set up a mountain protection formation, but he had not gathered all the materials, so he needed to find an auction venue to try it out; second, he wanted to refine the Rong Ling Pill, but he was still short of a lot of medicinal materials.
He walked into the auction venue and found that although it was already the second half of the night, the place was still brightly lit, with people coming and going, and it was very lively.
… After all, if you can’t stay up late, how can you be called an immortal
Qin Ran found the counter in the lobby and went over to the woman behind the counter and said, "I want to auction some pills."
"What kind of elixir?" asked the beautiful woman.
Qin Ran smiled and said, "Some elixirs needed by the foundation-building cultivators."
The woman then took a good look at Qin Ran and found that he was just a rough man, which did not match her impression of the image of an alchemist, so she began to have some doubts.
"Are there any pills?" she asked.
Qin Ran took out a bottle of Soul Gathering Pill and put it on the counter: "Can you identify it?"
This woman only has some cultivation, at the level of just sensing the Qi but not condensing the Qi cyclone. How can she identify it
She just broke open the jade seal, took a look at it pretendingly, and found that it seemed to be a real elixir... In an instant, her attitude became several hundred degrees more respectful.
“It’s really a pill.” She sealed it with a jade seal, bowed to Qin Ran, and said, “Please follow me, sir.”
After saying that, he took Qin Ran upstairs, found the person in charge of the elixirs at the auction house, and introduced Qin Ran to him.
"Mr. Mo, this guest wants to auction off the elixir."
The white-bearded old man Mo looked at Qin Ran and asked, "What kind of elixir are you shooting for?"
The beautiful woman then handed the Spirit Gathering Pill in her hand to Mr. Mo.
Old Mo took the pill bottle, poured out a pill, and examined it briefly. He was immediately shocked and said, "Top-grade Soul Gathering Pill?!"
He looked at Qin Ran, "Are you an alchemist?"
"When you sell items at your auction house, do you have to check a person's ancestors for 18 generations?" Qin Ran asked with a smile.
"Haha!" Mr. Mo laughed awkwardly and replied, "No, no, I'm just curious."
He asked again, "May I ask what your name is?"
“My surname is Sun, and my name is Wukong.” Qin Ran said.
"Oh, Mr. Sun, hello!" Old Mo greeted him, "Your Soul Gathering Pills are of extremely high quality. May I ask if you are going to auction them off?"
"yes."
“The reserve price of a top-grade Soul Gathering Pill is 100 Spirit Stones. There is no upper limit on the price you can bid in this auction house…” Mr. Mo introduced the rules to Qin Ran. “And the auction house will take a 10% commission based on the final transaction price. Then there are ten top-grade Soul Gathering Pills in this bottle. We will auction them separately. Does Mr. Sun have any objection?”
"No, it makes sense."
Mr. Mo asked someone to come over and register with Qin Ran. He watched Qin Ran sign and asked with a smile, "May I ask if Mr. Sun has any other elixirs that require our help?"
"Hmm..." Qin Ran pondered for a moment, as if hesitating. Finally, he put down his pen, took out five more porcelain bottles from his Qiankun bag, handed them to Mo Lao, and said, "You can take pictures of these for me, too."
Mo Lao reached out to take it, but Qin Ran suddenly took his hand back and said, "But I have a request."
"Mr. Sun, please feel free to ask for anything you want. As long as we can help you, we will definitely do so." Mr. Mo said quickly.
"I need three kinds of materials, the Soul-Suppressing Wood, the Source-Clearing Stone, and the Soul-Luo Black Gold." Qin Ran asked, "Do you have any here?"
Old Mo turned around, took out an auction list, handed it to Qin Ran, and said, "This is what we are going to auction next tonight. Is there anything Mr. Sun needs on it?"
Qin Ran took a quick glance and found that there were only the Soul-Suppressing Wood and the Source-Clearing Stone inside. He sighed and thought that he would have to try again.
He handed the pill to Mo Lao and said, "Find me a place."
"It's my duty." Mr. Mo said with a smile.
He examined the remaining bottles of pills again and found that there was even a Barrier Breaking Pill among them. He became even more respectful to Qin Ran and registered them again. He called the beautiful woman to take Qin Ran to the auction house.
Mr. Mo's attitude was always good, until Qin Ran's back disappeared behind the door, and the flattering smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
He looked at the pill in his hand again, his eyes changed several times, and finally made up his mind. He asked someone to arrange the auction of the pill, and turned around and left the auction site.
A large auction house like this may not be able to compare with the auction houses set up privately by monks in terms of cultivation resources, but its environment and services are several levels higher.
Because the people bidding on the pills were all big customers, Qin Ran was placed in a compartment with free tea, snacks, and fruits, as well as tables, chairs, and beds. The beautiful woman even smiled charmingly, and her soft body pressed close to Qin Ran, looking like she was ready to be taken advantage of... But Qin Ran, a gentleman, drove her out with righteous words.
On the auction stage, the host was giving his final speech, saying that this was the last auction of the day, and that customers who wanted to buy something should hurry up and buy it...
Qin Ran sat in the compartment, meditating with his eyes closed, without touching his tea, snacks, fruits, etc., just waiting for the auction to begin.
But unfortunately, before the auction officially started, he noticed something unusual. Someone had moved into the compartment next to him. Not just one side, but both sides, above and below. Not long after, someone kept looking at the compartment he was in.
"Send!" Qin Ran couldn't help but shout in his heart.
Qin Ran didn't know whether it was just his bad luck that he encountered such things every time he went out, or the "Yuan" organization was so powerful that it came to his door. He only knew that no matter which one it was, he had to find a way to make it happen.
He flipped through the auction catalog and found that the two materials he wanted were a little further back.
"Take a chance?" he asked himself, "or just go ahead and run?"
But he changed his mind and thought that since everyone had already found this place, it didn’t seem to make much difference whether he ran now or waited a little longer…
Thinking of this, he sat down calmly, unaware of the ambushes surrounding him, and waited for the auction to begin.
Soon, the auction began. Treasures were sold one by one as if it was a normal event. Qin Ran also occasionally called out the price, like an ordinary customer, but except for the two things he really needed, he did not really bid for the others.
After buying the Soul-Suppressing Wood and the Source-Clearing Stone, Qin Ran stood up leisurely and went to the auctioneer to make the handover... The soul stones from the elixir auction offset the soul stones from the purchase of the Soul-Suppressing Wood and the Source-Clearing Stone, so Qin Ran still received 700 soul stones in the end.
After collecting the spirit stones, the spirit-suppressing wood and the Qingyuan stone, Qin Ran discovered that there was nothing wrong with the spirit-suppressing wood and the Qingyuan stone, and he instantly knew where the problem lay.
It’s not the Linxian Auction, it’s the “Yuan” organization!
Thinking of this, he turned to the medicine appraisal department, found Mr. Mo, and asked with a smile: "How is my medicine?"
"It's of very high quality, very good." Mo Lao said, "I've never seen it before."
“Only seen in my life?” Qin Ran asked, “Does that mean I have seen it before?”
"I haven't seen it before!" said Mr. Mo. "Today is the first time I've seen it."
Qin Ran smiled and said goodbye to Mo Lao: "See you later."
"I look forward to your coming again next time." said Mr. Mo.
Qin Ran turned and went out. He popped out a bubble with his left hand, took out a porcelain bottle with his right hand, poured some powder from the bottle into the bubble, and then the bubble shrank to a very small size, went into the house, collided with Mo Lao's clothes, and melted into them.
He hurriedly walked out of the auction house. At the door of the auction house, his body suddenly shook, and his whole body melted and turned into a pool of water.
