Chapter 306: Seizing the Pill
Chapter 306: Seizing the Pill
On the first floor of the restaurant, in the corner.
While Cheng Feng was eating and drinking, he listened to everyone's comments and immediately had a general understanding of the grand elixir tasting event held in Yaowang Pavilion.
At the very least, he knew that the Pindan event would be held at noon in the south square of Bingzhou City.
If you want to participate, you must pay an entrance fee of one thousand low-grade Yuan stones.
Knowing this, Cheng Feng made some calculations in his mind and immediately came up with a feasible plan.
"Waiter, how much can you earn in one day's work?" Cheng Feng called the waiter and asked.
"Hello dear guest, I can earn about half a tael of silver a day."
"Half a tael of silver?"
Cheng Feng glanced at the other party: "I can give you half a day and you can earn ten thousand taels of silver. I don't know if you dare to do it."
"You can earn ten thousand taels of silver in half a day? Are you kidding me?"
The waiter was a young man of 17 or 18 years old. When he heard Cheng Feng's words, he obviously didn't believe it: "Unless it's a robbery, but with my body, robbery is just asking for death."
"The job I give you is very simple. I don't ask you to rob or kill. I just ask you to go to a place later and buy something for me."
"Going to a place and buying something for you? Is it that simple?" The waiter didn't believe it at all.
"It's that simple. If you have the guts to earn this money, I can give you ten thousand taels of silver now."
When Cheng Feng took out a few high-grade Yuan stones obtained from Bai Shuangsha Soul Ring, the suspicion in the waiter's heart suddenly disappeared.
Someone who can produce high-grade Yuan Stone will never deceive a little guy like him.
So, the waiter threw away the rag and followed Cheng Feng out of the restaurant...
When Cheng Feng and the waiter left the restaurant, in the VIP room of the restaurant, Nan Shaisheng and the young man wearing half-and-half white clothes were gathered around a palm-sized yin-yang fish compass, watching the compass needle swing wildly.
"Brother, are you still unable to determine the location of that brat?" Nan Shaisheng asked full of resentment.
"Why panic!"
The young man in white clothes seemed confident: "Previously, the pointer of the Yin-Yang Compass showed no response, which means that we are too far away from the boy who stole the Void Pot."
"Now, the pointer of the Yin-Yang Compass is starting to swing, which means that the boy is very close to us."
"Maybe, it's in Bingzhou City."
"And after being tracked by us, that kid didn't just fly far away, but came to Bingzhou City. Why is this?"
The young man in white clothes asked and answered himself: "There is no doubt that it is definitely for the rebirth elixir at the elixir banquet."
"So, as long as we keep an eye on the Reborn Pill, we can follow the clues and catch that kid."
"Brother, what a good plan!" Hearing this, Nan Shasheng was overjoyed: "By the way, brother, do you want to call Donghuo and the others back?"
"They can be recalled."
The young man in white clothes said: "But don't let them enter the city, so as not to cause trouble. At the same time, it can also be used as a second big net. If the kid escapes by luck, they can intercept him and make sure nothing goes wrong!"
…
Bingzhou City is very large, crowded with people and busy with traffic.
Cheng Feng took the waiter out of the restaurant and went to a clothing store and a shoe store successively. The appearance of the ordinary waiter changed drastically.
When it was approaching noon, Cheng Feng took the waiter to the south square of Bingzhou City.
The waiter in the shop looked like a rich man. He took a Tianxuan purple card given by Cheng Feng and entered the square in a swagger.
As for Cheng Feng, he also entered the square, but he did not stay with the waiter.
Instead, one person blends in among the crowd and controls everything secretly.
Because although Cheng Feng didn't know about the existence of Bai Qingchun and Nan Shasheng, he had a vague feeling that his career would not be that simple.
Just to be on the safe side, he did not go to the Pindan event in person, but did it in the hands of a fake waiter.
In this way, if a problem arises, he can retreat instantly.
This elixir tasting event held by Yaowang Pavilion is divided into three stages.
The first stage was the warm-up, where talented beauties who were good at piano music were invited to perform.
The second stage is to refine the elixirs. Take out one of each of the various elixirs refined by Yaowang Pavilion in the past year for the alchemists present to taste and evaluate!
The third stage is shooting.
At that time, Yaowang Pavilion will take out some elixirs of various grades for on-site bidding, and the one with the highest price will get it.
The goal of Cheng Feng's trip, the fifth-grade elixir, the Rebirth Pill, was arranged in the third stage, as the final lot, and finally appeared.
In the lively atmosphere, the Pindan Festival was carried out in an orderly manner, and soon it came to the third stage, the bidding process.
In fact, more than 90% of the people who come to participate in the Pindan event are here for this event.
As the bidding session began, the atmosphere at the scene became unprecedentedly lively.
Cheng Feng, as well as the young man in white clothes and Nan Shasheng who were mixed in the crowd, were also in high spirits, waiting for the final auction item, the Reborn Pill.
"Everyone, I will be bidding on the last item of this Pindan event."
After the fierce bidding ended, the auctioneer standing in the center of the square shouted with excitement: "This auction item is a fifth-grade elixir - the Reborn Pill."
"This elixir can cleanse the hair and cut the marrow, bind the body, and make you reborn."
"The bidding price is 50 million low-grade Yuan Stones. Each time the price is increased, it must not be less than 5 million low-grade Yuan Stones."
"Now, the bidding begins!"
As the auctioneer shouted the word "start", bidders began to appear on the scene one after another.
Obviously, there are many people eyeing this rebirth elixir, and they are all very wealthy.
In just a minute or two, the bidding price was raised to more than 80 million.
At this moment, a trembling price call came suddenly, causing the scene to become silent.
The reason why the scene was silent for a moment was not because the price shouted by the bidder was too high.
It was because the bidder was an ordinary young man of seventeen or eighteen years old without any cultivation.
Although this young man looks like a rich man.
But when everyone took a look at it, they felt that no matter how rich they were, they couldn't get much richer, let alone shout out the sky-high price of 100 million low-grade Yuanshi!
And since there is no capital, but the price is raised randomly, this is obviously intentional to cause trouble.
As a result, everyone stopped bidding one by one and looked at the 'rich young man'.
This rich man who shouted out the sky-high price of 100 million was obviously the waiter Cheng Feng had hired.
Before entering the square, Cheng Feng had carefully explained that when Yaowang Pavilion bids for the Rebirth Pill, he would bid for him. No matter how high the price of the Rebirth Pill is, he must bid for it.
Of course, Cheng Feng couldn't let the waiter open his mouth and yell, so he gave the other party a Tianxuan Purple Card.
There are hundreds of millions of low-grade Yuanshi left on this card, which is definitely enough to take the Reborn Pill.
Therefore, when everyone at the scene looked at the waiter with questioning eyes, the waiter suppressed the fear in his heart and followed the plan that Cheng Feng had explained in advance. He asked the Tianxuan Zika that he was holding tightly in his hand to throw to to the photographer in the center of the square.
At the same time, he yelled in a slightly trembling voice: "What? Do you think I am shouting prices randomly and deliberately causing trouble?"
"Let me see if I am qualified to bid!",
