Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 94: Pill Sales

"However, after last week\'s sale, the alchemist was happy towards our auction house and decided to give us their nickname. The alchemist from last week will henceforth be known as \'White Wolf\'."

"After last week\'s success, Senior White Wolf has brought us many pills to sell once more. To be exact, there are 135 pills in front of you folks right now."

Cai Ping stopped talking to listen to the crowd.

"Wait, that\'s all from one alchemist? Madam Cai, is that true?"

"No way! I thought they accidentally brought out their entire pills for today. That\'s just one person?"

"This White Wolf senior must have taken months to make these pills. The last week\'s sales was probably him just treading waters."

"Has anyone heard of an alchemist named White Wolf?"

The crowd kept on talking until someone said something that silenced the crowd for a while.

"Madam Cai, how are you going to sell those pills? It can\'t be you will auction each pill on its own, right? That would take forever." A person from a VIP room spoke.

Cai Ping smiled, "Yes, we have given some thought to that. Instead of selling the pills separately. We will be selling multiple pills as a batch."

"For the first batch, we have a Hundred Poisons Antidote, Minor Healing Pill, Qi Improving Pill, Swift Feet pill, and Body Warming pill. Each of these pills has exactly 32% Harmony. The bid will start at 40 spirit stones with 1 minimum spirit stone bid as increment."

"41 spirit stones"

"42 spirit stones"

People started bidding right away.

"Hmm… those are all common pills, but they are quite good. Someone must\'ve really been preparing for months to sell them at this auction," Ma Rong commented from the side.

"No," Alex unknowingly blurted out while looking at the crowd below.

"What do you mean no?" Ma Rong turned around to look at him after hearing his remark.

Alex realized a little too late what he had accidentally blurted out and turned around to face his Master\'s eyes.

"I\'m sorry for not telling you master, but I decided to auction the pills I made. Those are my pills," He said with his spiritual sense.

"Yours?" Ma Rong was shocked.

Since they started talking using spiritual sense, the girl behind them didn\'t know what was going on.

"Are you telling the truth?" She asked inquisitively.

"Of course, master. Why would I lie to you?" he simply said.

Ma Rong squinted her eyes and asked, "You made all those pills? when did you do that? the auction house stopped accepting items after Wednesday."

"I\'m not stupid master. Of course, I submitted the items on Wednesday. " Alex acted as if he was being wronged.

Ma Rong then slowly asked, "So... how many days did it take you to make these? 8? 10?"

"Uhh… 4."

"What?" Ma Rong blurted out in her real voice. thankfully, the soundproof design of the room stopped other people from listening to him.

"You finished all of these in 4 days?" she then thought of something else and asked, " So, the reason you didn\'t register any pills was..."

"Uh, yes. I was collecting them to sell in the auction. I really wanted the spirit stones, so I decided to sell them." He let her know.

"It\'s your pills, so you can do what you want, but, Why do you want the spirit stones so badly? Do you want to buy something?" she asked.

"Uhh… " he didn\'t know how to answer that. \'Do I tell her I\'m doing this for money? probably shouldn\'t.\'

"Something like that." He simply sidestepped the entire question.

Slowly, the bid down in the hall started to die down and the batch of pills was sold for a total of 88 spirit stones. Alex felt that was quite good.

However, there was one thing that kept bugging him for the last few days, and it had been enhanced right now.

"Master, how much does a pill usually cost someone?" he asked.

" Well, that depends on the pill and its ingredients. When it\'s not in the auction, one would have to gather the ingredients by themselves. If you give the alchemist the ingredients, that would cost you as little as 5 spirit stones."

"However, if the alchemist finds ingredients on his own, that costs the buyer a lot. Just like how your auction for the pills is getting a lot of spirit stones."

The next batch of pills was being sold right now, and the bid had reached as high as 60 spirit stones already. Every single batch of pills had pills with higher harmony, so the bids were also getting higher now.

Soon almost all of the pills on the table were auctioned off. Only two pill bottles were remaining. The audience watched with anticipation as they knew whatever was in the pill was definitely something of high harmony.

Ma Rong always knew her disciple was talented, but getting a first-hand experience like this was a very surreal feeling. Alex on the other hand, had a big smile plastered across his face as he realized he had managed to gather about 27 True spirit stones by now. That was about 2700 common spirit stones.

Or in his real-life terms, he had just earned over 25 thousand dollars. And the final 2 pills were still yet to be sold.
