Chapter 229 Successful Transaction

Not long after, a false elixir-level spiritual pressure descended on the side hall where the two of them were.

"President."

Gao Songbai stood up to greet him.

The person who came was a beautiful-looking Jurchen with silver hair and a snow-covered robe.

This woman has skin like snow and a cool temperament. She looks like she is in her early twenties.

"It turns out to be Master Han Yu! Xiang is so virtuous and capable, let the president of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce personally meet him."

Lu Changan's tone was humble, and he also exuded fake elixir-level mana fluctuations.

The two streams of spiritual pressure were instantly withdrawn in the void.

Before visiting, Lu Changan collected information and naturally knew something about the important figures in the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.

Currently, the highest-status monk of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce in the Immortal City is Master Han Yu, who has taken over as the president for several years.

"Master Xiang is so polite."

Master Hanyu has a beautiful appearance and a pair of icy eyes as he looks at the old man in coir raincoat across from him.

The two greeted each other and sat down.

Gao Songbai, who had previously received Lu Changan, consciously withdrew from the side hall.

Lu Changan maintains a fake elixir-level mana aura, and the Baihuan Mask will continue to consume his spiritual consciousness.

Pretending to be at a low level, the consumption of spiritual consciousness is very small and can basically be ignored.

Pretending to be highly educated is different and cannot be a long-term performance.

However, it is not a big burden to make a guest appearance in the short term.

"Most of the real people in the immortal world of Jing Kingdom know about my concubine. I wonder where Xiang Zhenren came from?"

Master Hanyu asked with a clear and pleasant voice, seemingly curiously.

"Xiang is a casual cultivator who formed fake elixirs in a small place and is not worth mentioning."

Lu Changan's answer was perfunctory.

Looking at the world of immortal cultivation in Jing Kingdom, although there are many fake elixirs and real people, except for those who deliberately hide them, they are all famous figures.

Master Han Yu saw that the other party did not want to show his true face, so he did not ask for the truth.

In fact, Master Xiang's title gave Master Hanyu some associations.

However, Lu Changan's image is far different from the one in the rumors, and we cannot make inferences based on just one surname.

The person in front of me is probably a pseudonym.

Lu Changan calls himself Xiang, so he naturally has some considerations.

If the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce suspects that he is Xiang Jinglong, they will be even more afraid of tampering with the transaction.

On the one hand, Xiang Jinglong is very powerful. He has reached the third level of physical training and is quite popular among the fake elixir masters.

On the other hand, the Demonic Cult is so powerful that the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce does not dare to offend easily and form a deadly feud.

If the transaction goes wrong and Lou Zi is exposed, Lu Changan will use his identity as "Zhenren Xiang" to cover up.

You should know that Lu Changan's Body Refining Technique has also been cultivated to the third level, which is extremely rare among fake elixir masters.

Three years ago, the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce was intercepted by the demon cult monks led by Xiang Jinglong, who asked Lu Changan to pay a "ransom" of three thousand spirit stones.

Lu Changan silently made a note of this bill that shouldn't be paid.

…

"The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is willing to acquire this third-level demon pill. I wonder if Master Xiang wants the spirit stone or barter?"

After the appraisal, Master Han Yu got straight to the point.

This time, it was determined that the demon pill was in Lu Changan's hands, and she was allowed to use her spiritual sense to detect it.

Coupled with Elder Gao's previous personal appraisal, Master Han Yu had a rough assessment of the quality and value of this demon pill.

"Xiang wants a third-level earth demon elixir." Lu Changan was also straightforward.

He didn't mention the Crystal Condensation Pill, that's unrealistic.

Even if the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce has such strategic resources, it will not sell them to outsiders.

"Earth demon pill?"

Master Hanyu frowned slightly, and said a little embarrassedly:

"This chamber of commerce does not have a third-level demon pill of the earth type. If Master Xiang is willing to wait for a year and a half, we are sure to trade one from other channels."

From the Jurchen's words, Lu Changan speculated that the Snow Fox Merchant had third-level demon pills with other attributes.

One and a half years, compared to Lu Changan's long life, was considered to be very short.

But for transactions, it seems to be a long time.

Lu Changan didn't want to have long nights and dreams, so he adjusted his plan:

"Does your Chamber of Commerce have a third-level evil spirit pill?"

The evil elemental pill is a pill made from third-level demon pills as the main material, which can help monsters attack the third level.

This elixir uses few scarce auxiliary ingredients. The main material of the elixir contains demonic energy, and the refining technique is relatively simple.

The above factors lead to strong medicinal properties and a huge risk of backlash if promotion fails.

Therefore, the Evil Origin Pill is only suitable for use by monsters, and is considered a rough, reduced version of the Crystal Condensation Pill.

Regardless of its applicability or value, it is inferior to the Crystal Condensation Pill.

As for the medicinal properties, taking it by monster beasts is not much worse than Crystal Condensation Pill, but the risks and backlash costs are greater.

"Sha Yuan Dan? This chamber of commerce does have one. It can be delivered from other chambers of commerce within ten days at most."

Master Hanyu said in a deep voice.

Ten days was acceptable to Lu Changan.

After participating in the auction, wait a few days before you can trade.

"It's just that a single third-level low-grade demon pill is not enough to trade the evil spirit pill."

"You must know that the main material for refining the evil spirit pill is the third-level demon pill. In addition, there are other medicinal ingredients and auxiliary medicines, including the reward for hiring a third-level alchemist to refine the pill..."

Master Hanyu has a reserved demeanor, but he doesn't give in when it comes to transaction value.

"That's wrong. The difficulty of refining the evil spirit pill is lower. Using the third-level demon pill as the main medicine, more than one completed pill can be produced every time." Lu Changan shook his head.

"What's more, the demon elixir in Xiang's hand was originally from the late third-level demon elixir. It contains thunder attributes, has pure demonic power, and is quite precious. It is beyond the ordinary third-level low-grade demon elixir."

"According to Xiang, your Chamber of Commerce must not only come up with a genuine Sha Yuan Dan, but also provide some additional compensation."

After hearing this argument, Master Han Yu pursed his lips and chuckled: "Master Xiang understands the market. But our chamber of commerce has a big business. When purchasing materials, no profit means a loss."

"What's the point of talking about profits? Your Chamber of Commerce can't make friends."

Lu Changan, disguised as an old man in a raincoat, chuckled, looking rather shameless.

Master Hanyu was slightly startled, his appearance was cool and calm, and he was not angry.

In the end, both sides gave in.

Lu Changan traded a third-level demon pill for a genuine evil spirit pill.

"Xiang is staying at the Xunxian Mansion Inn. Your Chamber of Commerce can contact me within ten days. It will be invalid if it expires!"

After negotiating a deal, Lu Changan was ready to leave.

"Can Zhenren Xiang pay the deposit? It doesn't need to be of much value, just leave a small object. It's mainly to show sincerity."

Master Hanyu suggested.

For certain major transactions, chambers of commerce may sign spiritual contracts to restrict them.

However, in order to restrain the real person from the fake elixir, a third-level spiritual contract is required, which is expensive.

"Your chamber of commerce will accept this high-grade magic weapon first."

Lu Changan took out a metal ball-shaped magic weapon, squeezed it gently, and threw it to Master Hanyu.

He understood Master Hanyu's request, mainly to prevent himself from getting too excited and eventually looking for other chambers of commerce to do business.

"Master Xiang, walk slowly."

Master Hanyu took over the high-grade magic weapon, glanced at it, and couldn't help but change his color.

I saw that the high-grade magic weapon in her hand left an inch-deep palm print.

The palm print was extremely smooth and exuded residual heat, obviously it had just been left.

Just now, she clearly didn't feel any mana fluctuations.

"You can do this easily with just the strength of your physical body palms."

"Could it be that he is really the one in the rumors..."

Master Hanyu's calm heart was filled with waves, and his icy eyes stared at the leaving old man of fake elixir.

She knew that the other party's method was to warn the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce not to play tricks in the transaction.

A fake elixir master who has cultivated his body to the third level is considered to be the best among his kind.

Even if the real elixir comes in person at the early stage, it can't be solved quickly.

…

That evening, Lu Changan returned to Xunxianfu Inn.

Half a day ago, with the help of the Jiuyin Monument, he had secretly observed the location of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce with his spiritual consciousness.

Master Hanyu's behavior was not abnormal. He indeed sent someone to contact other senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce to urgently transfer goods.

Lu Changan noticed that Master Hanyu was wary of his strength and identity, and did not disclose this matter to other juniors.

"The power of the Demonic Cult has taken root in the border areas of Jing Kingdom and has penetrated into the upper echelons of the merchant alliance. In addition, it controls some key trade routes and has extraordinary influence in the Jing Kingdom Commercial Alliance."

Lu Changan knew that most of the chambers of commerce in the Merchant Alliance were unwilling to be enemies of the Demonic Cult; some chambers of commerce even cooperated closely with the Demonic Cult for the sake of profit.

In the Jing Kingdom's world of immortality, the sect's power is not that strong. Although it is slightly hostile to the Demon Sect, and there were some minor frictions in the past, it is currently a matter of course.

The main reason is that the demon sect's climate has just taken shape and is difficult to solve. Currently, there is no attempt to capture the third-level spiritual veins within the territory.

Moreover, the leader of the demon sect, Liang Shaotian, is very powerful. The "Black Gang Demon Flame" he controls is one of the top ten true fire demon flames in Daqing. He has cultivated to the level of Xiaocheng and has few opponents below the level of the Nascent Soul Lord.

…

Three days later, the auction in Yunyan Fairy City was held as scheduled.

Third-level demon elixirs, foundation-building elixirs, high-quality life-extending elixirs...all kinds of scarce items have attracted many surrounding immortal cultivating forces.

At the Xunxian Mansion Inn, Lu Changan unexpectedly received a VIP invitation letter from the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.

It turns out that Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is one of the main organizers of this auction.

The auction in Yunyan Fairy City is slightly larger than that in Huanglong Fairy City.

Lu Changan held the VIP invitation letter and was led by the waiter to the VIP stand suspended above the venue.

"In an auction of this scale, the foundation-building stage is the mainstream, and the fake elixir master is considered the top one. There are at most two or three true elixir monks, and they are basically in the early stage of the true elixir."

Lu Changan observed the situation on the field and felt reassured.

He purchased information in advance and knew the information about the auction items in advance, with at least a 90% accuracy rate.

Among the many auction items, the one that attracted him the most was the second-level high-quality longevity elixir.

Lu Changan analyzed that his competitors are mainly late-stage foundation building and fake elixir masters.

The longevity pill attracts the elderly.

For ordinary old people in the foundation-building period, they are looking for ordinary second-level life-extending pills, which are cost-effective.

As for the true elixir monks, their lifespan is as long as five to six hundred years. If you are looking for life extension, Zhendan monks have basically taken second-level life-extension pills, and are pursuing third-level life-extension pills.

The second-level high-quality life-extending elixir, there is a high probability that the elderly among the true elixir monks have taken it.

In addition, if you have taken ordinary second-level life-extending pills in the past, and then take high-quality pills, the life-extending effect will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Lu Changan concluded that the possibility of a true elixir monk bidding for a second-level quality life extension is very low.

So what if the real elixir monk bids for it? There are still people who dare to compete with those who have reached the end of their lifespan among the fake alchemists.

After all, there is only half a realm difference between the fake elixir and the real elixir.

In actual combat, three fake elixirs teamed up and could barely compete with the real elixir in its early stages.

On the left side of Lu Changan, in the third adjacent VIP stand.

"Father, the clan leader is interested in the second-level quality life-extension pill, but he did not attend the auction in person. Could it be that he is wary of the 'Crescent Merchant Guild' attacking the clan?"

Xia Mingqu noticed the strong aura of the fake Danzhen people in the venue and felt that he had no confidence.

"It's not that serious."

Xia Mingqu's father is a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a fair complexion who wears a turban on his head.

Xia's father's name is Xia Yongzhong, and he is the president of Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

"The clan leader has taken ordinary second-level longevity pills before. This time we mainly let us try our luck. If the competition is too fierce, there is no need to force it."

Xia Yongzhong explained the reason with a smile on his face.

"Huh? Master Wu Dan didn't come to this auction?"

The venue was almost full of monks. Xia Yongzhong and Xia Mingqu looked around and did not see Lu Changan.

"It's also strange. I revealed the news about the auction to him a few days ago. The late-stage foundation-building level-breaking elixir that Master Wu is seeking is for sale at this auction, but he didn't come to try his luck?"

Xia Mingqu said in surprise.

Naturally, the monks of the Xia tribe didn't know that Lu Changan was at the VIP booth not far from them, and that he was participating in the auction as a fake elixir master.

…

An hour later, the auction entered the second half, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

"The next auction item is the second-level life-extending pill, the holy medicine that all elderly monks have longed for!"

On the auction stage, a dark-skinned old man spoke passionately.

"There are three second-level life-extending pills in this auction, one of which is a very rare second-level quality product! The high-quality life-extending pill has a life-extending effect of more than 30%..."

Before he finished speaking, some elderly foundation-building monks and several fake elixir masters in the venue shone brightly.

"As we all know, among life-extending pills of the same grade, only the first pill can extend life, and the effects cannot be superimposed."

"However, high-quality life-extending pills are different. After taking an ordinary-grade life-extending pill, taking high-quality pills again will still have a life-extending effect of 20 to 30%."

After the auctioneer's introduction, he took the lead in auctioning the high-quality longevity pills.

"The second-level quality life-extending pill starts with four thousand spiritual stones, and the price will increase by no less than one hundred spiritual stones each time."

Things are rare and valuable.

The second-level high-quality life-extending pill is only 30% more effective than the ordinary one, and its starting price is more than twice as high as what Lu Changan did at Liang Guo's auction.

Lu Changan understood that this was actually a marginal effect.

What's more, the effect of high-quality life-extending pills can be slightly superimposed on the second time you take it.

"Four thousand five hundred!"

"Five thousand spirit stones!"

"Five thousand three hundred...five thousand eight hundred...six thousand spirit stones!"

In a matter of seconds, the auction price of the high-quality longevity pill exceeded six thousand spiritual stones.

You must know that the second-level Foundation Establishment Pill, as a strategic resource, is often in this range at auctions.

"Seven thousand spirit stones!" Lu Changan made a strong offer and directly increased the price by one thousand spirit stones.

This move aroused dissatisfaction among the elderly monks present.

Some eyes and consciousness swept over.

Lu Changan snorted softly, and the fake pill-level spiritual pressure appeared on his body, and his powerful spiritual consciousness shook away some rude spiritual consciousness.

After several stages of foundation building, the sea of ​​consciousness was shaken, his face turned pale, and he suffered backlash.

"What a powerful consciousness!"

Two of the main competitors, Fake Dan Zhenren, showed fear.

The spiritual consciousness revealed by Lu Changan is better than the ordinary fake elixir real person.

"Seven thousand two hundred." Lu Changan felt a little familiar with the young voice that offered the price.

It's actually a famous summer song.

"Eight thousand spirit stones!"

Lu Changan's tone was domineering, and the price quoted at this time already had a huge premium.

"Famous song!" Xia Yongzhong winked at his son, signaling him not to follow him anymore.

"My child understands." Xia Mingqu sighed.

This fake elixir master is powerful and of unknown origin, so he should not be offended.

Moreover, the additional price is not worth it.

Ordinary second-level longevity pills often cost no more than three thousand spirit stones at auction.

"Congratulations to this fellow Taoist for winning the only high-quality longevity elixir in this auction."

The auctioneer looked excited and announced.

In the end, Lu Changan used eight thousand spirit stones to win the second-level quality life-extending pill.

The few remaining competitors were either afraid of Lu Changan's strength or felt it was not worth it, so they stopped following the price.

The real person’s worth of fake elixir is definitely more than 10,000 spirit stones; but there are not many people who can easily use the cash flow of 10,000 spirit stones to buy the life-extending effect for three years.

In addition, there are also the bonds between the power and the descendants.

"Ordinary second-level life-extending pills, when taken by ordinary monks for the first time, can extend their lives by more than ten years. It cannot be added up. The first time I took them, my life was extended by more than twenty years. The effects of the subsequent pills diminished for the first time."

Lu Changan remembered that the fifth level two life-extending pill he took had a life-extending effect of up to eight years.

Today, he still has a life span of 469 years.

"Ordinary monks who take high-quality life-extending pills will have 30% additional or superimposed effects."

Lu Changan was very curious about how long he could extend his life after taking the second-level quality life-extending pill for the first time.

…

Before sunset, Lu Changan returned to Xunxianfu Inn.

In this auction, in addition to strong bidding for a high-quality life-extending pill, he also bought two third-level materials.

Third-level materials can be used to refine third-level puppets in the future, or to increase the strength of quasi-third-level puppets.

Lu Changan was relatively high-profile at the auction, attracting the attention of some forces.

Fortunately, a powerful fake alchemy master can fully bear the responsibility of revealing wealth in this category.

After the auction, representatives from many forces came to visit Lu Changan, either to test him or to win over him.

Lu Changan was unkind and refused all visits, including the invitation from the fake Dan Master.

It is worth mentioning that among the visitors was Xia Yongzhong, the president of Wufu Chamber of Commerce, who was also Xia Mingqu’s father.

Naturally, Lu Changan would not make an exception and let the Xia family and his son receive a rejection.
