Chapter 40: Auction Conference, Riches and Nobility Gather
"Tai Qing Pavilion has been open for two days, and we have made a total of 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
"For the other ten cooperative elixir shops, the first day's income has been taken away. In the remaining nine days, a total of low-grade spiritual stones have been received."
"In addition, after signing the contract, I received a piece of low-grade spiritual stone."
Luo Youcai took the account book and counted items one by one. The numbers he revealed were terrifying.
People who don’t know may think it’s silver, but it’s just silver, and this is a huge sum of money.
What's more, it's a low-grade spiritual stone?
"A total of blocks of low-grade spiritual stones are equivalent to blocks of medium-grade spiritual stones."
After hearing this, Chen Anyian couldn't help but feel shocked, "That means we can bring out more than 10,000 middle-grade spiritual stones!?"
Luo Youcai wiped the sweat from his forehead: "That's right, we definitely can't use all of these spirit stones."
"But 10,000 middle-grade spiritual stones are still no problem."
"After all, all the current costs are just the cost of the house and the man."
"The cost of refining a large amount of alchemy has never been included."
Chen Anyian touched his chin: "In this way, all future costs will be discounted at half price, and the remaining net profit can be withdrawn by yourself every quarter or half a year, and you can just keep a good record."
Hearing what Chen Anyian said, Finance Minister Luo You breathed a sigh of relief. Everything in Taiqing Pavilion has just begun, so many things are unclear.
Chen Anyian said he would give himself five points, but if the accounts were never settled, he would not dare to touch the money.
Now Chen Anian takes the initiative to clarify the costs, so that the net profit can be easily calculated, and only with his five points can he truly be safe.
"What? Are you afraid that I won't give you the spirit stone?" Chen Anyian said with a half-smile.
"How can this be possible?" Luo Youcai said with a smile: "It's just that there are so many spiritual stones, I have never seen them before..."
"You don't know, my storage ring has been filled with spiritual stones in the past two days. I even have to buy two more storage rings. My heart is trembling."
"I'm afraid that others will take it away when I walk."
Luo Youcai took out the storage rings from his arms, socks, and wrist wraps, "I don't even dare to put them all together. If I lose them, my life will be lost."
"Be calm. You are the deputy master of Taiqing Pavilion. There will only be more spiritual stones in the future than you can count."
Chen Anian took the storage ring with a smile, looked inside, and his expression instantly froze.
There are not only middle-grade spiritual stones here, but also a bunch of low-grade spiritual stones that have not been redeemed.
Chen Annianguang laughed at Luo Youcai, but he was also stunned at first sight.
The spiritual stones are almost piled up into a hill!
If they were all taken out, they would probably fill a whole room.
So... shocking.
"Are you still talking about me? Aren't you the same yourself?" Luo Youcai said with a smile.
Chen Anian recovered from the shock of the Lingshi Hill, "Is there anything like a banknote? Otherwise, it won't take more than a month to install these Lingshi."
Luo Youcai shook his head: "The silver notes correspond to silver, which is easy to handle. What if I give you a spirit stone ticket and you can't redeem it at the critical moment?"
"The best way is to exchange it for a higher level spiritual stone."
"I'm contacting the big trading houses in Ding'an County. Except for keeping some middle-grade spiritual stones, I will exchange all the rest for high-grade spiritual stones. That will be easier."
Chen Anyian nodded. In the broken pages of the Golden Book, high-level energy can be converted into low-level energy.
Mid-grade spiritual stones can also smelt wild blood divine power, so there is not much of a problem.
"The exchange ratio between mid-grade spiritual stones and high-grade spiritual stones is also one hundred to one."
Luo Youcai put away the storage ring: "What are you going to buy tomorrow?"
Chen Anyian thought for a while and said:
"Kung Fu, if you have a suitable weapon, you can try it."
"As for the rest, it depends on the situation. Preparing 10,000 mid-grade spiritual stones should be enough."
There must be many treasures in the triennial auction. My ten thousand middle-grade spiritual stones may seem like a lot, but in fact they are just that.
Luo Youcai packed up the spiritual stones and threw 10,000 medium-grade spiritual stones to Chen Anyian before returning to his room.
Chen Anian suddenly remembered that today's elixir had not been prepared yet.
Hurry to the back hall, Liu Su is sitting there waiting.
"I'm really sorry, I almost forgot. Go and have a rest." Chen Anian said with a smile.
Liu Su pointed to a vat of water, "The fruit was peeled. I was afraid it would turn black and stale, so I soaked it in water."
"The flour is also fried and placed in the house."
Looking at Liu Su who was dressed in coarse linen clothes, Chen Anian felt that the Liu Su in front of him was more beautiful than before.
"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?" Liu Su saw Chen Anyian staring at him and wiped his face subconsciously.
"Haha, it's nothing. You've worked hard today, go and have a rest." Chen Anian said haha. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned, otherwise he would have really blushed.
Liu Su stood up and left. When she came around the corner, her face suddenly turned red.
Chen Anyian worked hard for another half an hour. When the elixir was dry and formed, he began to try to widen the Yuanli channel.
Inspired by that warrior today, Chen Anyian decided to widen the Yuanli channel to the maximum.
The divine power of the stars disappeared like running water.
Two hours later, the Yuanli channels between the sixty-two acupuncture points were finally fully expanded.
If the Yuanli Channel was only a one-way street before, then after Chen Anyian widened it regardless of cost, it has now become an eight-lane road.
The energy flows between the acupoints at high speed without any stagnation.
"It is indeed effective, but the consumption... is a bit scary." Chen Anyian couldn't help but secretly sighed as he calculated the amount of divine power consumed.
Building such an energy channel consumes two more drops of divine power than opening an acupoint.
If it weren't for the Star Pill, I don't know how long it would take to earn so many middle-grade spiritual stones.
Just from the Qingshan Sect, I could earn six or seven middle-grade spiritual stones a day, which was not enough to even open the acupoints.
It will probably take a year or two to get to where you are now.
Maybe in the eyes of others, the speed is already very fast.
But how could Chen Anyian be as fast as he is now?
The enemy will not give him a chance to grow slowly.
Only by trying your best to improve can you have a chance of survival.
The ones right in front of you are Zhao Wanqian and Wu Quanming, the lord of Nandou City.
Far away are the five major families, including the Lin family.
When the Chen family was wiped out and the whereabouts of the remaining pages of the golden book were unknown, they must have made some guesses.
My own danger is far from over.
Therefore, we must seize every opportunity to improve!
…
Early the next morning, Luo Youcai took the elixir and went to Taiqing Pavilion first.
Chen Anyian got up and practiced boxing.
He is already familiar with every move of the Bahuang Fist, but when it comes to the third level of opening the acupoints, in addition to the circulation of qi and blood, the energy in the acupoints must also be taken into consideration.
So Chen Anyian is ready to practice Bahuang Quan again.
It is necessary to perfectly integrate Bahuang Quan with the current state.
Liu Su made breakfast and went out.
Yesterday she only had time to buy bedding and the like. The house was empty and she still needed to buy a lot of things.
Filling up this place bit by bit, she had never felt this way before.
It seems that even the empty heart is being filled bit by bit.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
…
Chen Anyian's waist and horse merged into one, and he punched continuously at high speed. The energy in his body surged, layer by layer, superimposed rapidly.
The boulders in the martial arts arena are already covered with fist marks, and cracks are slowly spreading around.
Although it is still not possible to perfectly superimpose the power of all the acupoints, it is much better than yesterday.
Chen Anyian's fist was bloody and bloody, but he didn't seem to notice anything and kept adjusting the flow of energy in his body.
"The King of Hell points his hand!"
His palms suddenly opened and his five fingers thrust forward.
Ten small holes were poked out of the hard granite, but there was no longer a complete piece of skin on his fingers.
"Tiger pounces!"
"Damn bear!"
These two moves were combined by Chen Anyian into a killer move.
Flowing clouds and flowing water.
On the granite, blood was spattered everywhere.
The stone slabs on the floor were also stained with mottled blood.
The divine power in the broken pages of the golden book circulates with the Yuanli, constantly repairing Chen Anyian's injuries.
So Chen Anyian looked extremely miserable, but he didn't leave any hidden wounds.
It's just that the pain really hurts.
Chen Anyian was like a ferocious beast whose blood was aroused, and he was about to unleash all his strength!
"Tiantian Cannon!"
The air was instantly blown away. Chen Anian's fists sank deeply into the granite. The gravel pierced his skin and blood flowed across it.
Pull out your fist and bring down a piece of stone debris.
Chen Anyian waved his hand, and his divine power quickly repaired the wounds.
"My physical body is much stronger than the average orifice, but it is not strong."
Chen Anyian looked at the wound on his palm.
After all, the time I spent practicing boxing was too short. Others practiced martial arts in the summer and in the winter. After a long period of practice, they became famous.
And because I have divine power, I have made rapid progress.
It seems to have a solid foundation, but in fact there are still shortcomings.
Chen Anyian wiped the blood on his fists and continued to practice boxing frantically.
…
When Luo Youcai came back and went to the auction with Chen Anyian, he was shocked by the sight before him.
Is there anyone dead here?
There was blood everywhere on the martial arts field, especially on the boulders. It was splashed from the middle to all sides, layer after layer.
It's as if Chen Anyian poured blood on it.
Look at Chen Anyian again, still throwing punches tirelessly and crazily.
No matter how good the foundation is, it cannot be built like this.
"Are you crazy!?"
Luo Youcai yelled.
"If you keep practicing like this, your body will break down and you will have no chance to break through in the future!"
Chen Anyian shook off the sweat towel that had turned into bloody cloth in his hand and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten? I made the Healing Pill and Star Pill."
"Do I need to worry about backstabbing?"
Luo Youcai was choked.
In Qingshan Sect, no one dares to practice excessively. Most of the reason is because they are afraid that the body will not be able to repair in time, leaving hidden injuries.
But there is no need to worry about the animal in front of me.
In other words, as long as he has the strength, he can practice till the end of time.
"cocoa……"
Luo Youcai couldn't squeeze out a word for a long time.
He really wanted to say, you have so many spiritual stones, and there will be more in the future, so much that you can buy the entire South Dou City, so why are you working so hard?
But seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't ask such a question.
Liu Su, who came back to prepare lunch, was so frightened when she saw it that she quickly ran over with a basin of warm water.
Help Chen Anyian clean his wound.
Such a scene is simply terrible.
She has never seen it.
Even if it's murder, it's not so bloody, right?
What's more, Chen Anyian is just practicing boxing, which simply doesn't treat him as a person.
Liu Su's pretty face turned pale with fright, and tears welled up in her eyes. She gently wiped Chen Anyian's wounds with a towel.
Chen Anyian was dumbfounded: "Are you overreacting?"
"When I was at Shouzhuo Peak, I was beaten until my nose was bruised and my face was swollen every day."
"I'm just practicing boxing."
Luo Youcai looked at the sky and rolled his eyes: "I have never seen anyone practice boxing to death."
"Take it easy and hurry up, the auction is about to start."
Chen Anyian nodded, quickly washed himself off, and put on clean and refreshing navy blue linen clothes.
Among the brothers.
The eldest brother wears gray linen, the second brother wears white and blue shirt, and the third brother is the most showy, but he is very frugal no matter what.
He is also included.
"Is this what you're wearing?" Luo Youcai looked at Chen Anyian, and then at his own luxurious brocade clothes. Even the threads were sewn with gold threads.
"This is our Shouzhuofeng tradition." Chen Anyian said with a smile: "Besides, I am going shopping, and I am not being criticized for my clothes."
"The people who go to the auction are either rich or noble. Doesn't it seem like we don't take it too seriously?"
Luo Youcai said worriedly.
"Don't worry, going to Taiqing Pavilion is just to give them the greatest face."
Chen Anyian put on a human skin mask, which made him look even more ordinary.
If he weren't neatly dressed and wearing a storage ring on his hand, he would be no different from someone out running around trying to work hard.
"Let's go." Chen Anyian thought for a moment and hung a custom-made Taiqing Pavilion waist badge around his waist.
"Miss Liu, we have something to do out at noon today. We probably won't be back for dinner in the evening. You can just cook your own food."
"Besides, peeling fruits is still the same as yesterday."
Chen Anian smiled at Liu Su and told him, and then he and Luo Youcai walked towards Dingsheng Auction.
"Let me ask, are you interested in Liu Su?" After leaving Jianshan Residence, Luo Youcai put his arm around Chen Anyian's shoulders and asked.
"I would say Miss Liu Su is really good. Although she may not be as good looking as An Fenghuang, she is definitely a beauty."
"What's more important is that Bian Fenghuang is kind and gentle. He is simply the perfect choice for his wife."
"You also said that Miss Liu was a prostitute rather than a prostitute before. Why are you still hesitating?"
Chen Anian looked helpless: "Ganggun, stay away from me."
"I just see her as pitiful, so I give her something to do, not to find a wife for myself."
"The road to martial arts is already very difficult. If you add another burden to yourself, will I be too idle?"
"It's not like warriors can't marry and have children." Luo Youcai curled his lips.
Chen Anyian looked sideways at Luo Youcai, "You guys are really..."
The two bickered all the way to Dingsheng Auction House.
Immediately someone came to greet me.
"Master Luo Pavilion."
"Shopkeeper Tang." Luo Youcai quickly returned the gift.
"Who is this...?" Shopkeeper Tang asked uncertainly when he saw Chen Anyian, an ordinary and ordinary-dressed man next to Luo Youcai.
"This is the elixir master of Taiqing Pavilion, Yaoxuan." Luo Youcai said softly, "Star Pill and Healing Pill are the masterpieces of this master Yaoxuan."
Shopkeeper Tang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly saluted Chen Anyian: "It turns out to be Master Yaoxuan. I really have a great name that I have admired for a long time!"
Chen Anyian nodded slightly, with no intention of returning the favor.
On this occasion, with his current status as Yaoxuan, he does not need to return gifts to others.
This is also in line with his aloof persona.
Sure enough, Chen Anyian didn't return the gift, and shopkeeper Tang didn't feel displeased at all.
This is normal.
How could an alchemy master who easily defeated the Nine-Star Alchemy Master care about a small alchemy shop like his?
This is a spiritual alchemist.
Even in Baiyang Mansion, he is the top person.
Those powerful people in the Dao Palace must be treated as guests.
Luo Youcai and Chen Anyian continued walking inside.
Along the way, people kept coming to say hello. After learning the identity of Chen Anyian Yaoxuan, each one became more enthusiastic than the other.
Even though Chen Anyian always seemed to be ignoring him, he still couldn't stop these people from saluting him.
There is no way, a spiritual alchemist, especially a master who refines the Star Pill and the Healing Pill.
As long as there are warriors present, there will be times when someone asks for help.
I saw Chen Anyian and Luo Youcai entering the golden private room surrounded by everyone.
Not far away, a young man dressed luxuriously and holding a golden invitation asked his companions: "Who are these two guys? So arrogant?"
"Brother Qian, this is from Taiqing Pavilion!" the companion beside him said with a smile.
"Taiqing Pavilion?" The young man named Qian frowned slightly.
"The Star Pill is the pill from Taiqing Pavilion."
"It turns out they are selling Star Pills." The young man surnamed Qian suddenly realized: "Master Wu, if I order a thousand Star Pills from Taiqing Pavilion, can they bring them out now?"
"A thousand pills!?" Mr. Wu's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Tai Qing Pavilion has a rule. It only sells five hundred star pills every day. The other ten cooperative pill shops also only sell five hundred pills in total."
"You want a thousand pills, which is a bit too much. It takes several days to buy them."
"Taiqing Pavilion is so arrogant? Your eldest son Wu Youlin, the lord of South Dou City, and my young master Qian Zhuoyu of Black Mountain Sect, even if we are put together, he won't give you any face?"
"I heard that Taiqing Pavilion is from Anzhou. He has a good background and is not easy to suppress. Moreover, the elixir is very effective. Even my father praised him."
Wu Youlin shook his head.
"Forget it, I will take a closer look at the auction later to see how many spiritual stones there are in Taiqing Pavilion." Qian Zhuoyu walked into the golden private room with his hands behind his back, shaking his head.
"If it's just a show, don't blame me for not giving you face."
"I, the eighth-level Black Mountain Sect, want some elixirs, but I still can't get them? What a joke."
Mr. Wu shook his head helplessly. He didn't know if Qian Zhuoyu was used to being arrogant. He really thought that the whole world belonged to his Black Mountain Sect?
