She didn't expect that another accident happened to Ye Liuyun, and she had to deal with it personally.
"Eh? Everyone, I'm sorry, I suddenly have something urgent to deal with, so I have to change an auctioneer to host the auction." Jin Xiangrui bowed and apologized to the guests present.
Then she spoke to the maid beside her.
"Go call Hua Liuli and ask her to host the auction. I have something to take care of."
After Jin Xiangrui said this, she left under everyone's puzzled gazes.
The maid nodded, then hurried to call for help, while Jin Xiangrui went to Ye Liuyun.
As for the guests, although they were somewhat confused about Jin Xiangrui's departure, many of them actually did not want Jin Xiangrui to host the auction.
Because this woman is the host of the auction, it is easy for her to incite customers to raise the price. Having dealt with her for so many years, I have a deep understanding of this.
Jin Xiangrui walked quickly and arrived at the private room where Ye Liuyun was in less than a moment.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Mr. Ye would have such good elixirs to sell. This is beyond my expectation." As soon as Jin Xiangrui came in, she smiled charmingly at Ye Liuyun.
But Ye Liuyun's next words made Jin Xiangrui embarrassed.
"Yes, Master Jin, after I returned from the last transaction with you, I was tortured by your power." Ye Liuyun complained with a smile.
This sentence was very yin and yang. Jin Xiangrui was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
"I'm sorry. Last time, I was too anxious, so I was rude. I apologize to you, Mr. Ye." Jin Xiangrui did not discuss the matter of Huitian Pill with Ye Liuyun immediately, but apologized to Ye Liuyun humbly.
Logically speaking, it was a very rare thing for a fourth-level Taoist monk from the Dao Palace to apologize to a small Lingxi Realm monk. It would be absolutely impossible for monks from sects to do so.
"Haha, I hope there won't be a next time, Master Jin. Now that we've come straight to the point, why don't we stop using those unnecessary tricks. I am sincere, so I hope you, Master Jin, can show your sincerity as well." Ye Liuyun said bluntly.
If Jin Xiangrui was a cultivator from a sect, then there was no need for her to be nice to Ye Liuyun. If Ye Liuyun had no value, then she also didn't need to be nice to him.
But so far, the value Ye Liuyun has shown is enough for her to pay attention to him.
There is only one truth for the people in Wanbaolou, and that is profit comes first, and anything goes when profit is achieved.
The founder of Wanbaolou is also Jin Xiangrui's ancestor.
Wanbaolou is a family-based power. Within Wanbaolou, men are in charge of internal affairs while women are in charge of external affairs. In other words, the real power of the family is controlled by male members, while female members are specifically responsible for external management.
For example, presiding over the Chamber of Commerce, hosting auctions and other matters.
The managers of Wanbaolou in various places are all women, and they are all from the same family. The lower the status of the family members, the more remote the places they are sent to. Obviously, Jin Xiangrui does not have a high status in the family, and the Silent City where she is located belongs to the lowest standard area.
However, these statuses are not static. If Jin Xiangrui can earn more profits for the family, her status in the family will rise according to her contributions.
If she is promoted, she will be the manager of the Wanbaolou branch in Yunhai City, and the highest position she can be promoted to is the manager of the headquarters.
Jin Xiangrui felt that her chance might have come, and Ye Liuyun was the person who could help her advance in status.
That's why she quickly put down her task of hosting the auction and came to see Ye Liuyun.
After listening to Ye Liuyun's words, Jin Xiangrui thought about it, and then first took back her precious clothes, and at the same time, she took the initiative to absorb the charming power emanating from her body into her body.
I saw a large amount of pink power in her body quickly gathered towards his forehead, and finally formed a beautiful flower mark on his forehead.
She was withdrawing all her strength back into her body.
As a result, Jin Xiangrui's charm was suddenly reduced. Her appearance in Ye Liuyun's eyes underwent a strange change at the moment when her power was contracted. She quickly changed from a mature and beautiful woman to a girl with elegant temperament.
This is the real appearance of Jin Xiangrui. She looks to be in her early 20s.
This is the effect of charm, which will actively improve her image in the eyes of others.
Let’s put it this way, the image of Jin Xiangrui in Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue’s eyes is different. The Jin Xiangrui in Lin Aoxue’s eyes is closer to her real appearance, while the Jin Xiangrui in Ye Liuyun’s eyes is modified according to her desires.
"This? Master, why do I feel like she has become a different person all of a sudden? Is this still the same alluring Jin Xiangrui from before?" Ye Liuyun murmured as he looked at the current Jin Xiangrui.
"She has always been like this, but you, little girl, don't control your desires, or you don't resist them at all. So in your eyes, she is the kind of person who can easily attract your desires. Charm is also a kind of illusion. Even if a woman is not good-looking, if she learns charm, she will be a great beauty in the eyes of the opposite sex." Lin Qingyou explained with a smile.
Ye Liuyun felt a little uncomfortable looking at Jin Xiangrui now.
"This? Master Jin, you have changed so much." Ye Liuyun looked Jin Xiangrui up and down, then exclaimed in amazement.
After Jin Xiangrui took back her power, she suddenly seemed much more serious.
"I'm sorry. The martial arts I practice has a hallucinogenic effect. It's not that I want to deliberately seduce you, Mr. Ye. You are right, Mr. Ye. If you really want to make a deal, you have to be open and honest." Jin Xiangrui said calmly.
"Tsk!" Lin Aoxue, who was standing aside, immediately showed an unhappy expression.
Next, the two of them will discuss the price of the pill.
Jin Xiangrui picked up the three-pattern Huitian Pill and examined it. She only took a glance and an expression of disbelief filled her eyes. She was already very clear about the value of this pill.
"Three elixir patterns, elixir light like a rainbow, a top-grade elixir. At least, it must be a divine elixir, right?" Jin Xiangrui judged.
Judging only from the effect and the level of refining, it is indeed worthy of being called a magic pill, but if it is to be judged based on the medicinal ingredients, this pill is at most a green-grade pill, and it is not even a pure green-grade pill.
"I don't know what grade this pill is. I only know its effect and how precious it is. If Master Jin is interested, please make an offer." Ye Liuyun said.
Ye Liuyun's attitude of not taking the pill seriously at all made Jin Xiangrui fall into deep thought for a moment.
There is only one pill and there is no way to test it. In other words, the transaction of this pill depends on the credibility of both parties.
Moreover, the price of this pill must be extremely expensive.
"Can this pill really cure any injury? Is there any limit to the realm?" Jin Xiangrui asked cautiously.
"There is no limit to your realm. No matter it is a physical injury or a trauma to the soul consciousness, it can be recovered after taking it. There is no side effect." Ye Liuyun replied.
After hearing this, Jin Xiangrui couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. At the same time, as if she remembered something, her eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Mr. Ye, how much do you want for this pill?" Jin Xiangrui asked.
"I've already said that I've never seen this pill before, and it's not available on the market. I think you should give me a suitable price." Ye Liuyun directly pushed the problem back to Jin Xiangrui, and this time Jin Xiangrui was even more troubled.
The price of this pill was too low and seemed inappropriate, but she didn't have an accurate answer to how much to give. So after thinking for a while, she felt it was necessary to make things clear with Ye Liuyun.
"Mr. Ye, to be honest, I don't know how much this pill is worth, but I can only give you the highest price that our Wanbao Tower can offer. I can guarantee that in the entire Silent City, no one can offer a higher price except our Wanbao Tower." Jin Xiangrui said seriously.
Ye Liuyun also understood this principle. If the price had to be negotiated based on the effect, it would be incredible that Wanbaolou in this small place could afford it.
As for Jin Xiangrui, the spirit stones she can mobilize are also limited. Of course, they can get spirit stones from their superior Wanbao Tower, but it will definitely take time.
But Ye Liuyun didn't want to wait.
"I understand. Don't worry, as long as the price is reasonable and within the price range you can currently afford, it's fine. I'm not greedy, but I also hope that your company can be more fair." Ye Liuyun also said clearly.
After hearing this, Jin Xiangrui smiled faintly. How to say it, she suddenly felt that the young man in front of her was much more pleasing to the eye. You know, even though he knew that Wanbaolou had taken advantage of her, he was still willing to negotiate and not ask for an exorbitant amount of money. Such a deal was very rare.
"Mr. Ye, in that case, I won't waste any more time. The largest amount that our Wanbao Tower in Silent City can currently offer is 10 billion spirit stones. If you are willing, I am willing to use 10 billion spirit stones to buy your Huitian Pill." Jin Xiangrui said seriously.
But as soon as the price came out, Lin Aoxue next to him immediately started coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough..."
Jin Xiangrui and Ye Liuyun immediately looked at Lin Aoxue. Jin Xiangrui was a little confused as to why Lin Aoxue reacted like that.
That's because, if she knew that Lin Aoxue took this pill as an ordinary healing medicine every time she healed her injuries, she would understand why she reacted like this.
"Oh my God, how many spirit stones have I eaten? I can't count them anymore. I thought the previous Explosive Spirit Pill was outrageous enough, but now it's even more outrageous. The pills this guy refines are even more outrageous than I thought." Lin Aoxue exclaimed in his heart.
Ye Liuyun knew that if she took this medicine to a big place to sell it, the price would only be higher, but it didn't matter. 10 billion spirit stones had already met her expectations.
"Okay, then it's 10 billion spirit stones. I have no objection." Ye Liuyun nodded.
But Jin Xiangrui would not agree to the deal lightly. One billion spirit stones is not a small amount. If Ye Liuyun deceives her, she will be in big trouble.
“Master Ye, the transaction is fine, but you also need to give us some guarantees. There is only one pill of this medicine, and there is no way to test it, so I hope that after the transaction, you can stay in our Wanbao Building for a few days.
At the Wanbao Building headquarters, an elder just happened to be seriously injured. After I buy this pill, I will immediately inform the headquarters and ask them to send a strong man to get the pill. If this pill can make my elder recover, then the deal is done, and I can even give you another 10 billion spirit stones, or even more spirit stones. "Jin Xiangrui made this request.
This requirement involves great risks, but it seems unlikely to sell this kind of elixir without taking risks.
Many times, while gaining more benefits, you also need to take corresponding risks, which is necessary.
Besides, the risk is worth taking.
"Well, doesn't the auction still have two days left? I believe that this period of time should be enough for you to send the pills back to your headquarters, but I also hope that Master Jin can help keep it secret." Ye Liuyun also stated his request.
Since Ye Liuyun agreed to this condition, Jin Xiangrui would not be able to refuse Ye Liuyun's request.
"No problem. I can do it. I swear on my inner demon that this transaction is a fair one." Jin Xiangrui also said.
Ye Liuyun smiled. In fact, from the perspective of personal interests, no matter how much money it was, Ye Liuyun would not lose.
After all, the cost of this Huitian Pill is probably less than a thousand spirit stones. Theoretically speaking, Ye Liuyun cheated Wanbao Tower. If the pill is really effective, who knows why the cost of making this pill is not high?
Chapter 208: The Golden Clan (6000 words + 350 monthly tickets plus more)
The oath sworn by a cultivator's inner demon still has binding force. In this world, oaths cannot be made casually. Since Jin Xiangrui has said so, Ye Liuyun can't say anything more.
"In that case, I will believe Master Jin this time. As for the oath, forget it. Excuse me for being frank, but the oath is unreliable. If you really want to find loopholes in the oath, it's too easy. I don't believe in this thing." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
The feeling Ye Liuyun currently gives to Jin Xiangrui is that of being as calm as a mountain, or being open and honest. The pills he gives are indeed genuine goods, and she can't see any guilty feeling in him.
"That's true, Jasmine, send someone to fetch 10 billion spirit stones." Jin Xiangrui ordered.
Everything that needed to be said had been said. There was no need to waste words any further. Since it was a transaction, all we had to do was wait and see the final result. Hua Moli quickly asked the accountant to bring the money over.
Jin Xiangrui really wanted to know Ye Liuyun's identity, but she had actually secretly checked many times in the past few days, but the result was that she had no clue.
There are no such two people in the city at all, which means that their current appearance must be a disguise and not their true appearance.
However, Jin Xiangrui had used her physical strength to investigate, but she could not find any flaws unless she used a magic weapon. However, now that Lin Qingyou has awakened, even a magic weapon would not be able to see through Ye Liuyun's disguise.
Also, although the transaction between the two seemed to be going smoothly, in fact, they both had their own little calculations in mind.
For Jin Xiangrui, the feeling presented by Tiandan this time is worth her taking a gamble.
"Mr. Ye, excuse me for being blunt, but you and your maid are not what you really look like, right?" Jin Xiangrui asked.
Being discovered by Jin Xiangrui was actually not a big deal. After all, with the ability of Wanbao Tower, it was not difficult to find out whether there were these two people in the city, so Ye Liuyun directly admitted it.
"It's indeed not the real thing. There's no other way. People like me naturally need to hide their identity. Otherwise, if I meet someone with ulterior motives who covets my pills and uses force to force me to make the pills, wouldn't I be in a passive position then?" Ye Liuyun asked back with a smile.
This sentence is to tell Jin Xiangrui not to be too curious about my identity, as it will not do you any good.
Although Jin Xiangrui is a fourth-level cultivator in the Taoist Palace, she never acted like a senior from beginning to end.
"Haha, that's true. Then let's just talk about business and nothing else. Then, Mr. Ye, can you tell me, are these pills made by your master or by you yourself? I think I must ask this question if we are to continue our cooperation." Jin Xiangrui asked again.
"I am the one who refines the ordinary pills. My master looks down on the large-volume pills. Only pills like the Huitian Pill are worthy of my master's personal efforts." Ye Liuyun replied immediately.
Lin Qingyou was very pleased to hear this. After all, she was Ye Liuyun's master, and it felt so good to hear Ye Liuyun praising her.
“Little guy, that’s very good. I finally heard from you that you are praising me as your teacher.” Lin Qingyou praised.
When Ye Liuyun heard this, he actually wanted to reply to Lin Qingyou, "Master, don't be so conceited. I'm not praising you. I'm just using you as a shield."
After hearing this, Jin Xiangrui found it hard to believe what level of alchemist Ye Liuyun's master was. If this Tiandan was really made by Master Ye Liuyun, then he could probably be called the world's top alchemist.
While the two were exchanging information, 10 billion spirit stones were delivered. Jin Xiangrui immediately placed a storage ring containing 10 billion spirit stones in front of Ye Liuyun.
"Mr. Ye, there are 10 billion spirit stones in here, take a look." Jin Xiangrui said with a smile.
Although Ye Liuyun looked calm, he was very happy in his heart. He spent one thousand spirit stones on the goods, but sold them for 10 billion spirit stones.
Theoretically speaking, the value of elixirs in the alchemy world is determined by the value of the medicinal materials plus the alchemist's refining costs, but they are unable to crack Ye Liuyun's elixir, which means that they can only be priced based on the efficacy.
It feels like Ye Liuyun has blackmailed Wanbaolou, at least in fact, that is the case.
"Then this pill belongs to Master Jin. Don't worry, I will definitely not leave this private room in the next few days. If Master Jin is worried about me, you can send strong men to keep an eye on me. I have a clear conscience and it doesn't matter." Ye Liuyun added after taking the spirit stone.
But in fact, Jin Xiangrui already had this idea, so there was no need for Ye Liuyun to say anything more.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first. I'll contact the headquarters right away and ask them to send someone strong here. Once I have any news, I'll inform Mr. Ye the first time." Jin Xiangrui picked up the box containing the Huitian Pill with both hands, her eyes clearly filled with excitement.
Why was she so excited? That was because Jin Xiangrui was in Wanbaolou. In terms of status and position, she was a direct descendant of Wanbaolou. The family that controlled Wanbaolou was called the Jin Clan, and the founder of Wanbaolou was Jin Xiangrui's direct ancestor.
But starting from about a thousand years ago, their direct lineage had been in decline because one of their ancestors failed to break through the realm and suffered a great trauma to his soul. Although he did not die, he fell into a deep sleep.
Their direct line has no ancestor in charge, and their power has been gradually taken away by the side branches and suppressed. If this pill can awaken their direct line ancestor, then their direct line will not only restore their former status, but will definitely improve their status, so Jin Xiangrui is quite excited.
Jin Xiangrui left the private room with the Huitian Pill. The moment she left the room, a man in a golden robe appeared out of nowhere beside Jin Xiangrui.
"Miss." The man in the golden robe said respectfully to Jin Xiangrui.
"Okay, keep an eye on it." Jin Xiangrui said just this one sentence, and then left without hesitation.
The man in the golden robe also stood up and stood at the door.
"Hahaha, Aoxue has 10 billion spirit stones. Tell me, how long will this last for us to squander?" Ye Liuyun was delighted as he looked at the spirit stones in his hand.
