Chapter 47: Trading
"Haha, I never thought that the Pavilion Master would think of the junior so much." Xiao Chen, under the cloak, had his entire face hidden in the shadows, and outsiders could not see his expression.
Nangong Yan took out a stack of silver notes and handed them over and said, "This is the payment for the last auction, a total of one million taels."
There would be as much as one million taels, which was beyond Xiao Chen's expectations. He took the silver notes calmly. Xiao Chen said: "A mere fasting pill was sold at a price of one million taels. Linlang Pavilion is indeed well-known."
Nangong Yan smiled and said, "This fasting pill is a new elixir. I have never heard of it before, and it has a unique effect. In addition, my Linlang Pavilion operation, it is very normal to buy one million taels."
"If it was in Linlang Pavilion in the imperial capital, the price could double. I wonder if I would bring you what you want to buy and sell this time?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen took out one of the blood-replenishing pills, Qi-recovering pills, and Peiyuan pills, and then placed them on the table one by one to introduce the effects of these pills.
"The Lord of Nangong will give a minimum price for these three elixirs."
Nangong Yan was happy to see Lie. These three elixirs are three new elixirs. Although there are similar elixirs on the mainland, he is sure that the elixirs on the mainland are definitely different from the formulas of these three elixirs.
After careful study of the fasting pill brought by Xiao Chen last time, although he still did not see through the formula of the pill, it inspired him a lot.
This made him ecstatic, who had been at the peak of the seventh-grade alchemist and had not made any progress for many years. This time, Xiao Chen brought three different elixirs, and his realm of refining will definitely make another breakthrough.
"Is there only one?" Nangong Yan asked in confusion when he saw that Xiao Chen had no intention of taking out the pill.
If there is only one pill of each type, it is not easy to deal with. Sometimes when studying, the pill will be damaged by accident, and it will be troublesome to study it again.
In fact, Xiao Chen’s original intention was that he didn’t even want to take out a pill, but he just thought that he had been here. After all, he had received some help, so he took out three pills to buy.
He himself does not have much desire for money. If he does not want to obtain special needs, he will of course take all the pills he has refined.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen decided to tell him truthfully and said, "People of Nangong, I am not interested in the auction yet. If the master of the Pavilion needs it, these three pills can be given to the owner."
Nangong Yan shook his head and smiled and said, "You misunderstood what I mean. With my realm, these three pills actually can't play much role."
"Do you know what day it is today?"
"What day?" Xiao Chen also wanted to know the answer. If it weren't for Nangong Yan's arrival, the waiter should have told him the answer, but it wouldn't be too late to tell Nangong Yan at this time.
Nangong Yan smiled softly and said, "I believe my friend has also found that there are a lot of people coming to our cabinet today. This afternoon, our cabinet will hold an annual large-scale auction in advance."
So that's it. No wonder so many people come. Xiao Chen suddenly realized that the large-scale auctions in Linlang Pavilion are a grand event in Mohe City every year, and it is reasonable that so many people appear.
But Xiao Chen remembers that the large-scale auctions were held at the end of the year, and now the middle of the year has not arrived yet, so why did the large-scale auctions start?
Nangong Yan seemed to see Xiao Chen's doubts and said, "Because I am going to the imperial capital at the end of the month, I want to hold a large-scale auction before leaving."
The imperial capital? The old man in front of him was indeed not an ordinary person. Xiao Chen thought to himself that when he first saw this person, he felt an unprecedented pressure.
That kind of pressure is much stronger than when I face Liu Fengyin. When I was in front of him, I felt like I was seen through.
I think this person's status in the Nangong family is definitely not simple. I don't know what to do when I go to the imperial capital this time, but this has nothing to do with Xiao Chen, so there is no need to think about it.
It’s a pity that things in the world are like chess, and the world is unpredictable. Xiao Chen under the cloak didn’t know that the old man in front of him went to the imperial capital. What he did was not only related to him, but also had a huge relationship.
Xiao Chen's face was hidden under the cloak. Nangong Yan couldn't see Xiao Chen's expression and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He continued: "So, I would like to ask my friend to take more elixirs to buy it as the finale of this auction, so as to give me some face on my face."
After hearing this, Xiao Chen felt a little funny. If someone else said this and asked his pill to save face, he might believe it.
But if a big man from the Nangong family actually said that he wanted these elixirs to save face, he would really look down on him Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen still knew how effective these elixirs were.
The Nangong family, one of the four major families of the Great Qin Empire, is the head of the family Nangong Lie, a martial emperor-level master and ranks second among the top ten national-level military generals in the empire.
These elixirs are just equivalent to the fourth-grade elixirs on the mainland. For the Nangong family, they are simply not worth mentioning.
The old man in front of him obviously has an extraordinary status in the Nangong family, and there are countless rare treasures in his hands, so how could he lack these fourth-grade elixirs?
It was obvious that he wanted these pills himself. The old man in front of him should be an alchemist. This is Xiao Chen’s intuition as an alchemist.
Moreover, the grade is very high. It is obvious that the elixirs I refine are different from the traditional refining methods, so I want to use them for my own research.
This is why he gave him three pills, but why he was not satisfied. Even the pills he bought last time might have been bought by him.
Xiao Chen didn't say anything, put his hand in his arms and disguised it for a while, then took out three porcelain bottles from Qiankun Ring and took the lid of the porcelain bottle away.
The blood-replenishing pill, the Qi-returning pill, and the fragrance of the Peiyuan pill instantly spread. Xiao Chen said: "Master Nangong Pavilion, we are wise people, don't say secret words, you just want these pills, right?"
"Each porcelain bottle here contains twenty pills. You just say you can exchange it for something."
Xiao Chen is not short of money, but he believes that Nangong Yan must have the treasure that makes him moved. It is better to take this opportunity to criticize him.
Nangong Yan's face, which had been smiling all the time, suddenly changed, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his eyes looked straight at Xiao Chen like a knife light.
Although he did not use any power, and he did not even release a slight momentum, he just looked at Xiao Chen directly, but it made Xiao Chen feel uncomfortable.
Under the cloak, Xiao Chen tried his best to remain calm, his mind sinking, and stabilized his trembling body, but the sweat on his back continued to flow down.
"Haha, young people are very courageous. Are you not afraid that I will kill you directly and take away all these things?" Nangong Yan smiled and Xiao Chen's pressure disappeared.
"You won't, because I can't feel any murderous aura on you, and it was the last time I walked out from here and the Guige didn't send anyone to follow me, so I dared to come again." Xiao Chen, who calmed down, said slowly.
Nangong Yan smiled and said, "You are very brave and smart. It's true that I want these elixirs for you. Your straightforward personality is quite tempting to me."
Nangong Yan said this, stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, saying, "It's hard to say how much your elixirs are worth. It's a sky-high price for those who understand it, and for those who don't understand it, it's just a fourth-grade elixir."
Xiao Chen nodded without denying it, and said with a smile: "The Master of Nangong is obviously a person who knows what kind of sky-high price he will offer."
Nangong Yan smiled and said, "Little kid, don't play word games with me anymore. Although I need these pills very much, I can't guarantee that I have really developed something and whether it will be useful to me."
"My friend, can you introduce your master to me to meet me?"
Seeing Nangong Yan suddenly change his mind, Xiao Chen's face immediately sank and said, "My teacher likes to be quiet and will not meet outsiders casually. I have already said it last time."
"If the Pavilion Master does not need these pills, then I will say goodbye."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the door. This was Xiao Chen's bottom line. He had no master, and all the elixirs were refined by himself. If it was exposed like this, Nangong Yan would definitely put him under house arrest as soon as possible.
Nangong Yan hurriedly stopped Xiao Chen and pulled him back and said, "I just said casually, don't worry, my friend, I must buy this pill."
"Will this happen, I won't be the one who is a big shot, nor will you suffer any loss. Look at this, at the afternoon auction, you can choose any three auction items, and no matter what price you sell, our Linlang Pavilion will pay for it."
The reason why Nangong Yan said this was because he thought that Xiao Chen would definitely not trade silver bills directly, otherwise he would just take the elixir to auction it.
But if she really wanted to bring out some valuable treasures, Nangong Yan himself was a little reluctant to let it go. After all, the real value of this elixir is just a fourth-grade elixir.
Finally, I thought of such a trick, which not only satisfies Xiao Chen's idea, but also doesn't have to give up his love by himself. I just need to pay some money.
Moreover, he had seen the order for the auction this time. Although there were many good things, they could not make him moved. It can be said that he would never suffer any losses.
Xiao Chen quickly analyzed Nangong Yan's words in his mind, and soon thought of what Nangong Yan was thinking about, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, the old fox is really cunning.
But I immediately had a countermeasure in my mind and said, "Can I take a look at the list of this auction first?"
This requirement is not an exaggeration. Generally, auctions will issue the list of auctions in advance, and will also list the main items and final goods, mainly to attract customers who come to the auction.
Although Nangong Yan was reluctant, he still took out an auction list and handed it to Xiao Chen, "This large-scale auction has a lot of good things and will never disappoint you."
