Chapter 2318: Chapter 2297: Flawless Elixir
"The consignnt area?" Lin Feng’s expression shifted, and he quickened his pace, arriving in front of the consignnt area in the blink of an eye.
Although the auction house’s main focus is auctions, there is a significant ti gap between consecutive auctions. To make use of the ti, when there are no auctions held, the auction house engages in consignnt sales.
Consignnt refers to people storing their goods at the auction house for sale. Due to the auction house’s high reputation and rich resources, many loose cultivators and even so small prominent families are willing to leave their treasures and elixirs here for a selling fee.
Since arriving at the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, Lin Feng was visiting an auction house for the first ti. Having not thoroughly understood the items in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm before, he could use this opportunity to learn about the consignnt area.
The consignnt area was quite spacious, with rows of transparent crystal cabinets neatly arranged. Each cabinet contained a piece of auctioned goods, along with corresponding descriptions and price tags.
Not bad... Lin Feng’s thoughts flickered as he started assessing the consignnt area.
"Wow, boss, these things aren’t cheap at all. Look at that pearl, it’s only thumb-sized but worth over a hundred yuan stones, and that short sword over there is worth two hundred!" Little Tangyuan exclaid upon seeing the items in the cabinets.
"Slap!"
Lin Feng gave Little Tangyuan a gentle knock on the head, making the little guy yelp, then said, "Don’t make a fuss like you’ve never seen the world before."
"Oh..." Little Tangyuan sulked, tucking his head in while his eyes continued to dart around, examining everything inside.
Although Lin Feng knocked Little Tangyuan lightly, he only had around a hundred yuan stones, far from enough to buy anything here. And this was rely at the Ning City Auction House, a small city—currently, he was just a pauper in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm.
He definitely needed to make money. Lin Feng thought to himself, continuing to scrutinize the items in the consignnt area. Unconsciously, he found himself in the elixir section.
Seeing the various elixirs in front of him, Lin Feng’s expression suddenly intensified. Being a master in alchemy, he was well-versed in the properties and grades of elixirs. He could instantly determine their effects and grade. Though the elixirs in front of him were decent, he could see through them all at a glance.
These elixirs... aren’t much different from the divine grade elixirs of the Lower Realm. Lin Feng thought, reviewing the price tags of over a hundred to two hundred yuan stones on these elixirs. After a careful sensory assessnt, he confird that these elixirs rated as desolate grade were the sa divine grade elixirs he created in the Lower Realm.
With that in mind, things beca much simpler.
A slight smile tugged at Lin Feng’s lips. After taking another look at the items, he turned and left the consignnt area.
On his shoulder, Little Tangyuan watched Lin Feng’s actions and was astonished. Why wasn’t the boss looking any further? Did none of these catch his eye? Hmm... it must be because the boss doesn’t have enough yuan stones. Even if he did like sothing, it wouldn’t matter. Yep, that has to be it!
Little did Lin Feng know, the little one on his shoulder was musing to himself. After leaving the consignnt area, Lin Feng surveyed his surroundings. Following the map on the wall, he headed towards the consignnt responsibility office within the auction house.
Not long after, Lin Feng arrived at the office.
The receptionist at the responsibility office was a young girl, who upon seeing Lin Feng, flashed a warm smile: "What can I help you with, gentleman?"
Her smile was bright and amicable, as if it could instantly dispel any gloom in one’s heart. Even Lin Feng felt sowhat comforted, inwardly admitting that Ning City’s auction house was indeed noteworthy.
"Since you accept consignnt elixirs here, do you also purchase them?" Lin Feng asked the girl, "I have so elixirs here that I want to sell to your auction house."
"We do purchase." The girl maintained her gentle smile, "Whether spirit grade or desolate grade elixirs, we buy them all."
"Alright then." Lin Feng nodded, taking out a jade bottle: "Convert these elixirs into yuan stones."
Upon receiving the jade bottle, the girl was montarily dumbfounded; she couldn’t recognize the elixirs inside! As soone stationed in the auction house’s consignnt area, she considered herself well-versed. She could recognize most spirit and desolate grade elixirs, but this was the first ti in her three years here that she had seen such unrecognized elixirs!
However, based on the sheen of the elixirs and the trace aura emanating from them, they were undoubtedly desolate grade. But even within desolate grade, the variance was significant—she dared not price such unfamiliar elixirs casually.
The girl slightly bowed to Lin Feng and said, "Please wait a mont, sir."
Lin Feng nodded, watching as the girl hurriedly walked into a room.
"Boss, how many yuan stones can you get for these elixirs?" Little Tangyuan’s eyes twinkled, "If the price is too low, buying things in the auction house won’t be easy. In my opinion, given your strength, boss, you should stake out the city outskirts, and rob anyone you see..."
Lin Feng’s lips twitched. What on earth is this rascal saying! He imdiately grabbed it and flicked its forehead.
"Ouch!"
Little Tangyuan covered its little head, peeking at Lin Feng with small eyes. It wore a look that said "I’m doing this for your own good, Boss" with a pouty expression, making Lin Feng feel both amused and exasperated. This little creature was just too cheeky.
"Let’s not talk about robbery, and do you really have so little faith in your boss’s elixirs?" Lin Feng glanced at Tangyuan, who had climbed back onto his shoulder, and admonished.
"Oh, got it." Little Tangyuan shrank its head and obediently stayed still on Lin Feng’s shoulder.
Just then, the young female receptionist who had left earlier returned with an elderly man with white hair. In a few steps, they were in front of Lin Feng. The girl pointed to the jade bottle on the counter and said, "Elder Chu, this is the elixir this gentleman wants to sell."
"Sir, this is the appraiser of our auction house, Elder Chu," the girl said to Lin Feng, looking up at him.
Lin Feng nodded and watched as Elder Chu opened the jade bottle to inspect it.
The jade bottle was opened again, and a wisp of fragrance from the elixir inside wafted past Elder Chu’s nose, only to return to the bottle.
Elder Chu’s pupils constricted suddenly. In disbelief, he looked at the jade bottle in his hand. As an appraiser in the auction house, he knew that when an elixir’s fragrance skimd past the nose and instantly returned inside the bottle, it ant the elixir was absolutely pure, with not a hint of toxic residue!
Smooth and harmonious, the elixir’s properties and aura were perfectly integrated without any flaws.
A Flawless Elixir, this was actually a Flawless Elixir! Elder Chu’s heart was in shock, his hands even trembled slightly. He had only co out to appraise an ordinary elixir, yet he had encountered such a masterpiece!
The sa elixir can be refined with different effects in the hands of different alchemists. After all, aside from the alchemy prescriptions and materials, the thod of refinent, understanding of the elixir’s nature, and handling of impurities and toxic remnants all influence the elixir’s level.
An ordinary alchemist can refine elixirs with less than thirty percent impurities and toxins, a good alchemist can leave only twenty percent, and an excellent alchemist can make elixirs with only ten percent impurities and toxins.
Based on the level of purity, elixirs are generally classified as lower grade, middle grade, and upper grade. Those with no impurities and perfectly balanced properties are called Flawless Elixirs.
Flawless ans without a single blemish. In the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, elixir grades are ranked from top to bottom as Universe, Cosmos, Magnificence, Desolate, and Spirit. To refine a Desolate Grade elixir to a Flawless level, one’s mastery of elixir properties and understanding of alchemy must be at the level of a master.
Elder Chu’s heart was pounding. As the appraiser of the Ning City Auction House, he had seen many things, but he couldn’t suppress his emotions in front of this Flawless Desolate Grade elixir.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Elder Chu looked at Lin Feng and said, "Sir, I have a question and would like to ask your guidance."
"Go ahead," Lin Feng replied.
"Do you know which expert refined these elixirs? Please tell , I would be deeply grateful," Elder Chu asked solemnly.
An expert? Little Tangyuan’s paws trembled, and its eyes widened. Elder Chu actually asked which expert? It turned to look at Lin Feng’s calm expression. This guy, who had just ascended from the lower realm and hadn’t even fully converted his Yuan Energy, was an expert? What kind of elixir did he take out to make the auction house’s appraiser call him an expert?
Lin Feng was also slightly taken aback, not expecting to be addressed in such a manner.
Seeing Lin Feng’s expression, Elder Chu looked apologetic: "I understand that such experts generally prefer to remain unknown. I was just overwheld by seeing this Flawless Quality elixir and hoped to et the master. What do you think...?"
"I can’t claim to be a master. You’re too kind, Elder Chu. I just casually refined the elixir," Lin Feng said, returning to his senses and looking at Elder Chu.
A Flawless Elixir... casually refined... Little Tangyuan’s paws trembled as its mind went blank. It couldn’t believe that such a Flawless Quality elixir could be related to this guy who had just recently ascended from the lower realm!
Flawless Quality elixir, in a five-thousand-mile radius around Ning City, countless alchemists couldn’t refine a Desolate Grade Flawless Elixir, yet this person who ascended from the lower realm and hadn’t even fully converted his Yuan Energy could refine a Desolate Grade Flawless Elixir. This was truly...
Aweso!
Looking at the jade bottle and then at Lin Feng, Little Tangyuan seed determined to rember his face. Its heart was filled with pride and joy. It had hit the jackpot! This guy was so amazing—not only powerful but also highly skilled in alchemy, and he had just ascended... Hehehe, with such a promising boss, I can buy whatever I want, spend as much as I like!
Ah, what excellent foresight I have, instantly recognizing this guy as the boss. Little Tangyuan smugly praised itself.
