God Weird Fairy

Chapter 384 Drunken Life and Dreams
July 29th.

Qiu Changsheng sat down in the private room on the third floor of Luofu Dan Pavilion.

Luofu Dan Pavilion is four stories high, the second floor is the auction hall, which can accommodate many people to sit and participate in the auction; the third and fourth floors are in the shape of a U-shaped structure, providing private rooms for buyers who wish to conceal their identities.

Since Qiu Changsheng was a cultivator and wanted to buy some interesting elixirs for research, Luo Ziqing arranged a private room for him.

He waited for a while, and when the auction time was approaching, the auction hall on the second floor of Luofu Dan Pavilion was already full - not that there were a lot of buyers coming to bid, but ordinary mortals from noble families, even if they were not qualified to sit in the private rooms, would bring a servant to be responsible for bidding, and easily fill the hall.

The steward of Luofu Dan Pavilion began to preside over the auction as the host:
"It's the Luofu Pill Pavilion's monthly auction again. We welcome new and old customers to come and support us. We also sincerely thank all the alchemists who came to our pavilion to send pills for auction."

"First, we still sell the Luofu Powder, which is exclusively sold in this pavilion. Taking it can boost your spirits and make your face glow. At the same time, it can spontaneously transform the essence of water and grain, greatly increase your appetite and maintain a handsome figure. In addition, regarding the recently popular longevity true qi, the alchemist has confirmed that if you move the true qi after taking the Luofu Powder, its effect will be better."

A maid walked onto the stage with a tray carrying eighteen jade bottles, each containing a Luofu powder.

After introducing Luofu Powder, the Dan Pavilion manager picked up the first bottle and said, "Today there are a total of eighteen Luofu Powders, and the quantity is limited. Now, the auction of the first Luofu Powder will begin. The starting price is one silver dollar, and each bid increase must not be less than ten copper dollars."

As soon as the manager finished speaking, three people immediately started bidding.

"Five silver."

"Six silver."

"Seven silver."

Then, no one bid anymore.

"Seven silver for the first time! Seven silver for the second time! Anyone else bidding?" The steward shouted excitedly, "Okay, seven silver for the third time. Congratulations to guest No. 63 for winning the first pill of the day."

After someone wrote down the buyer's serial number and bid, the manager began to auction the second Luofu Powder.

Qiu Changsheng waited and watched for a while. Because it was a fixed auction item, the price of Luofu San was relatively stable, with an average price of about six silver and twenty bronze.

He sensed with his spiritual sense that based on the medicinal strength of Luofu Powder, he estimated that the cost price should be around one silver and fifty bronze coins, but it turned out to be sold for almost four times more.

The reason why Luofu Powder is so popular is because of its pill effect, which is similar to lazy man's fitness, and its temperament bonus, and it is quite popular among the young men of noble families who claim to be romantic and talented.

Qiu Changsheng clicked his tongue twice, and when the fourteenth Luofu powder was auctioned, he bought it for six silver coins.

He planned to see what the steward said about how Luofu Powder could help in cultivating the Qi of Longevity.

As time went by, Qiu Changsheng saw a lot of elixirs, the cost price of which was generally between one and two silver coins. Some were extremely popular and sold several times more, while others were barely sold.

Best-sellers generally have unique and interesting functions, and focus on providing special conveniences for ordinary people.

For example, the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills he had refined before, which had the effect of prolonging life and was rarely seen in ordinary-grade elixirs, also belonged to this category.

However, Jiuhua Yulu Pills have already made a name for themselves, so even though the price is quite high, there is no problem with sales.

In addition, Qiu Changsheng came to Luofu Dan Pavilion to sell pills this time in order to test the attention of Huagui Pavilion to him. He deliberately only sold the "Nine-turn Lingbao Pill" mentioned in "The Legend of the Two Dragons of Dali", and did not bring the Nine-flower Jade Dew Pill.

Getting back to the topic, Qiu Changsheng watched the auction scene with great interest, occasionally bidding for individual pills, preparing to study them later.

Soon, it was the turn of the "Nine-turn Spiritual Treasure Pill" to start bidding.

The steward of the Dan Pavilion picked up and opened the jade bottle containing a single elixir, and introduced: "Nine Jiuzhuan Lingbao Pills are auctioned below, as the latest new elixirs put on the shelves in this pavilion. The effect of this elixir in detoxification and healing is far-reaching. It is better than ordinary elixirs, and its potency is extremely restrained, and there is no risk of losing its potency. It can be called a life-saving and emergency elixir when traveling around the world."

"However, after taking this pill, one's body and mind will become excited, as if swallowing a blazing flame, and it will be difficult to calm down. It is not suitable to be taken in a quiet place."

Although the Dan Pavilion manager changed the subject, his words were somewhat vague, and he did not explain the side effects of the "Nine-Transformation Spiritual Treasure Pill".

This was instructed by Luo Ziqing.

Luo Ziqing wanted to bid a few more pills at a lower price, saving some money and not being extravagant, so he said righteously that Luofu Pill Pavilion was a serious pill pavilion and would only emphasize the positive effects of the pills. Qiu Changsheng knew it, but didn't care. Luo Ziqing would bid for three or five pills at most, and he wouldn't let him keep all of them. At most, this sale of pills would be a test, and he would be able to sell them at a high price next time.

When the Dan Pavilion manager introduced them, many people looked puzzled and whispered, "Did Dan go to the wrong venue?"

Although it is a panacea for saving lives, the sons of noble families do not hang around in the martial arts world, so there is no need for them to carry such elixirs with them; and ordinary martial artists, although they need them, do not have the wealth to bid at the Dan Pavilion.

Many of the young men of noble families who prided themselves on being talented and romantic were puzzled. Only a few with quick minds secretly muttered about the name of "Lingbao" and its stimulating effect.

"The auction of the first Nine Revolutions Spiritual Treasure Pill will begin now. The base price is five silver coins, and each bid increase must not be less than one silver coin."

The Dan Pavilion manager began to announce the bidding.

Luo Ziqing was in a private room on the fourth floor, and was about to wait for three breaths before changing his voice to call out the price. However, as soon as the steward finished speaking, two people immediately called out the price.

"Eight silver."

"Five silver."

The man who had bid five silver coins was slightly startled, and immediately raised the price: "Ten silver coins."

The first person hesitated: "Eleven silvers."

The second person raised the price again without hesitation: "Fifteen silver."

The first person stopped bidding. There were still eight coins left, so there was no need to force the issue.

Everyone else, including Luo Ziqing, was a little surprised.

Others were surprised that such a fierce bidding was necessary for a new elixir that they had never seen before. They were still wondering why the starting price of the Nine Transformations Spiritual Treasure Pill was much higher than the five silvers of other elixirs, but it was only fifteen silvers in the blink of an eye.

Luo Ziqing was surprised: Could it be that Qiu Changsheng found someone to help him?
But he immediately shook his head. If only one person was bidding, it might be Qiu Changsheng's own agent; if two people came up to bid, it was unlikely to be an agent.

Luo Ziqing looked towards the hall on the second floor.

The two people bidding were both cultivators in the Qi-cultivation stage.

The only difference is that the former was just a casual cultivator, while the latter wore a black cloak and never revealed his face.

The Dan Pavilion manager continued the auction.

For the second Nine-Transformation Spiritual Treasure Pill, the cloaked man still asked for fifteen silver coins.

For the third Jiuzhuan Lingbao Pill, the casual cultivator who was the first to call out the price frowned and called out the price at sixteen silver, but the man in the cloak immediately increased it to twenty silver.

The casual cultivator couldn't help but say, "There are nine in total, and I only want to buy one for research. Could it be that this friend is planning to buy them all and won't give up even one?"

——He was a casual cultivator who was interested in becoming an alchemist. He felt that the ingredients used in the "Nine-Turn Spiritual Treasure Pill" were a bit strange, so he wanted to buy some to study.

He could tell that the "Nine-Turn Spiritual Treasure Pill" was a genuine yellow-grade elixir, different from the ordinary elixirs that fooled mortals, so he didn't care about the reserve price.

When alchemists buy elixirs that are not best-selling, they generally will not deliberately raise the price.

It turned out that the man in the cloak was not an alchemist. Not only did he not give up a single one, he also raised the price crazily, which made the independent alchemist a little angry.

The cloaked man said calmly, "I'll only buy six."

What he meant was that other people should come back to bid with him after they have six coins.
