People are fighting, the three-year period has come

Chapter 8: A rich harvest, a free ring

"Master Gu Ni, this little brother Xiao wants to sell pills, so I'd like you to come and identify them."

Manager Liu explained to Gu Ni respectfully.

Then he introduced to Xiao Yu: "Little brother Xiao, this is Master Gu Ni, a second-grade alchemist and also a three-star master."

Gu Ni is the only second-grade alchemist in Wutan City. He is also the head of the medicine department of the Mitel Auction House in Wutan City, who was hired by the Imperial Capital Headquarters. Naturally, he is not comparable to Liu.

Gu Ni looked at the young man in front of him, but apart from his handsomeness, he couldn't see anything else.

"My dear friend, I don't know where the elixir is. After I have identified it, I will give you a reasonable price."

Xiao Yu took out the two jade bottles from his arms again and handed them to Gu Ni: "This is the elixir I want to sell. Thank you, Master Gu Ni."

Gu Ni nodded, took the jade bottle, then took out the pill, wrapped the pill with his fighting spirit, and sensed it carefully.

Perceiving the efficacy of elixirs is a compulsory course for every pharmacist, but because Xiao Yu has no master and has not systematically studied alchemy, he can make elixirs entirely by himself.
Therefore, he did not know how the grades of elixirs were divided, he only knew what the efficacy was.

According to his perception, the three pills he refined were extremely pure. Even if he took them every day, they would not leave any pill poison in his body. The reason was probably because the pills were tempered with lightning.

The efficacy of the medicine was also surprisingly good, but it did not have much effect on him as a peak nine-star fighter, so he felt that these three pills were at least first-grade pills, and could reach the middle or even top level.

Gu Ni was still identifying it, but the pride on his face faded and slowly turned into shock.

"These three pills are so pure? What kind of alchemist can refine pills to such a perfect level?!"

After a moment of surprise, Gu Ni dared to guarantee that the alchemist who refined these three pills was either a fourth-grade or a fifth-grade alchemist!

Because only alchemists above the fourth rank can refine second-rank elixirs to such a pure level. No, no, no, it should be said that even a fourth-rank alchemist cannot achieve such a level.

That's right, the pills refined by Xiao Yu have reached the second grade. Using the materials of the first grade pills to refine the second grade pills is even more terrifying than Gu Ni imagined.

Noticing that Xiao Yu had been looking at him, Gu Ni came back to his senses and a smile rarely seen on his face appeared.
"My friend's three pills are of the second grade. The auction house can buy them for 40,000 each. What do you think?"

Forty thousand per piece?
Xiao Yu had never thought that he could refine a second-grade pill using some low-grade medicinal materials, and the price was 40,000 per pill.
In his original plan, the maximum price for a pill was fifteen thousand, but he didn't expect to get such a pleasant surprise.

He was very satisfied with the price of 40,000. Even the foundation-building elixir refined by Yao Lao only fetched 40,000 gold coins at the auction. What else was there to be dissatisfied with?

The foundation-building spiritual liquid is a second-grade spiritual liquid that can be used in the Dou Qi stage, while Xiao Yu's two pills for accelerated cultivation can only be consumed by fighters and above, and the effect will be greatly reduced when it comes to fighters. When it reaches six stars or above, the effect is basically negligible.

"sure"

Xiao Yu gladly accepted this very "reasonable" price.

Gu Ni smiled and nodded, and winked at Liu, the manager next to him.

Manager Liu understood and immediately ordered his servants to prepare a crystal card worth 120,000 gold coins.

Xiao Yu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master Liu, I still need to buy some things. We can settle the bill after I finish shopping."

Gu Ni also became excited. This was a good opportunity to make friends with Xiao Yu, and he would naturally not let it go. After all, behind him stood an alchemist who might be at the fourth rank or above. Even in the imperial capital headquarters, he would be treated as a guest of honor.

"I wonder what Xiao Xiao wants to buy, maybe medicinal herbs?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I want to buy some medicinal herbs, and ask you about the pill formula, and buy some books about alchemy."

These things are available at the auction house, but Gu Ni is a little confused. Since there is a fourth-grade alchemist behind him, why does Xiao Yu still need to collect pill recipes?
You should know that every high-level alchemist is a mobile recipe library.

He even had to buy books about elixir knowledge. Didn’t his teacher teach him?
Xiao Yu also saw Gu Ni's doubts. In order to dispel his curiosity, he had to lie and said, "The teacher has not taught me the knowledge of alchemy yet. He just gave me three pills as funds."

"He said that only if you can become a first-class alchemist without the help of anyone else, you will be qualified to be his apprentice..."

After saying this, Xiao Yu pretended to smile bitterly, acting out the whole thing.

"This……"

Gu Ni was a little surprised. It was so difficult to become an alchemist by self-study without any guidance. Moreover, only with such talent could one become his disciple. So what rank did the alchemist behind Xiao Yu reach?

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became. He was afraid that the entire Mittel family would be offended by that alchemist.

"That gentleman's requirements are indeed harsh, but since he has taken a liking to you, you must have outstanding qualities. I believe that you will definitely be able to become his disciple." Gu Ni comforted.

To be given such demanding requirements by a mysterious high-level alchemist, this friend Xiao must be different. There is nothing to lose by making friends with him in advance.

Xiao Yu pretended to regain his confidence: "Master Cheng Guni, I will definitely work hard to become your disciple."

Gu Ni smiled and nodded: "It's good that you have made up your mind, Xiao. As for the herbs, pill formulas, and alchemy books you want, I will give orders to get them for you as soon as possible. Please wait for a moment."

"Then I'll trouble you, Master Gu Ni."

"By the way, do you know the names of these three pills?"

"These two are Qi-nourishing pills made by the teacher. They can speed up cultivation. This one is a Body-Tempering Pill for tempering the body."

…………

After waiting for an hour, Xiao Yu got a storage ring.

"Master Gu Ni, what is this?"

Gu Ni stroked his beard and smiled, "This is a gift from the auction house to you, my friend."

Xiao Yu quickly declined: "This is too expensive, and I don't have the money to buy it. Master Gu Ni, please take it back."

"My friend, there is no need to refuse. It is just a low-level storage ring. You can regard it as the auction house investing in you."

"Your future achievements will surely be limitless. This is just a way for us to make friends in advance and build a good relationship."

"If you feel it's inappropriate, then there will be elixirs for sale in the future. Please give priority to the Miter Auction House. This ring can be regarded as an advance reservation fee."

Gu Ni had asked Liu the Master about Xiao Yu's situation a long time ago. He learned that Xiao Yu was carrying a medicine cauldron with medicinal materials when he went out last time. He also noticed that Xiao Yu did not have a storage ring on his hand, so he became interested.

A low-level storage ring is only worth 100,000 gold coins, which is nothing to him. If he is to be talked about wealth, any single one of the three major families in Wutan City cannot compare to him.

However, with 100,000 gold coins, one can make friends with an alchemist whose future achievement will be at least rank three, which is well worth it. Moreover, it can also express goodwill to the mysterious high-level alchemist, which is worth it.

Even if this ring does not play any role, Miter Auction House can afford it.

Investing is like this, there are risks and rewards, and if you make a mistake, that’s your own business.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu did not refuse and clasped his fists in thanks.

"In that case, I will shamelessly accept it. If I have any unused elixirs in the future, I will definitely give priority to the Miter Auction House."

If you continue to be pretentious, you will appear pretentious.

After Xiao Yu left, Liu, who was standing by, stepped forward and whispered to Gu Ni: "Master Gu Ni, do you want to check…"

After all, it was a storage ring, so Manager Liu still had some reservations.

Gu Ni naturally knew what he meant and immediately shook his head: "No need. The alchemist behind this boy can refine pills of this quality. Even the headquarters can't afford to offend him. We can only try our best to make friends with him. Even if it's useless, we can't make enemies with him!"

Master Liu is not an alchemist, so naturally he has no idea what this pill represents.

Even if it was Gu Ni himself, the pills he refined would hardly be half as pure as these three pills.

Of course, even Xiao Yu could not have imagined that the Thunder Fire Alchemy could purify the elixir to such an extent, otherwise Gu Ni would not have misunderstood that he had a fourth-grade or higher alchemist teacher.
