Manager Li immediately felt troubled. “This is bad. How do we estimate the price of a Flawless-grade pill?”
“What!” Elder Zhao widened his eyes and hurriedly interrupted him. “Are you crazy? You’re going to put a Flawless-grade pill to auction?!”
“This is simply nonsense. This pill is something that we alchemists hope to achieve all our lives, and it is the highest of all. It should be worshipped. Countless alchemists should study and learn from it. How can it be auctioned? It is simply too tacky.”
Perhaps Elder Li’s status was so high that after a series of curses, Manager Li became angry but did not dare to speak out.
“Quickly leave, don’t dirty this place with the stench of copper on you.”
Manager Li was scolded so much that he was confused. He felt so helpless that he wanted to cry. “Well, Elder Li, it’s not me who wants to auction. It’s young Master Gu who wants to auction. There’s nothing we can do to stop him.”
This time, Elder Zhao’s expression turned ugly. However, he could not say anything to Gu Xi. After all, this medicinal pill belonged to him. It was up to him to decide how to deal with it.
Elder Zhao said with a pained expression, “Young Master Gu, are you really going to auction this pill?”
Gu Xi nodded, “This is Master’s intention. Moreover, he will refine more pills in the future. Even if it’s auctioned, it doesn’t mean that other alchemists can’t study it.”
Hearing the last sentence, Elder Zhao’s expression became a bit better, but in his heart, he wanted to pay a visit to this legendary alchemist.
Elder Zhao’s expression was solemn as he said, “However, Manager Li, this pill is priceless. It is not something that we can decide.”
In other words, this item is so precious that even the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce was not worthy of it. Manager Li immediately understood what he meant. This was a Flawless-grade pill. It was the pit and dream of all alchemists.
If the news were to spread, it was likely that it would cause a great sensation. At that time, all the experts would come because of the fame. This was especially so for a small branch like his. It was simply unable to control the situation.
It was likely that some people would have evil plans for this medicinal pill. Even if they guarded it carefully, they would eventually succumb to these schemes.
However, thinking about it, it made sense. This was a Flawless-grade medicinal pill. If it was put up for auction here, it would be a waste. Moreover, the people here might not be able to afford it. If the price was too low, it would simply be a waste of Heaven’s gift.
“I’ll contact the headquarters in the capital right away! It just so happens that the Dao Conference will be held soon. If the auction is held at that time, it would coincide with the gathering of heroes. The timing would be amazing!”
Manager Li did not waste any time. He immediately contacted the headquarters. Ripples rose in his heart. He had a premonition that he would definitely make a great contribution this time!
Thinking about this, he felt that he had made the right move earlier. As expected, there was no harm in being on good terms with Gu Xi. It did not take long for such a big surprise to land on his lap.
Even if this ‘Flawless’ pill could not be auctioned here, it came from here. It could be considered to have made a name for itself in the headquarters and made a great contribution. Who knows, he might even be promoted to the manager of the main branch. It was possible.
Thinking of this, Manager Li wished he could worship Gu Xi like a Buddha every day.
“Young Master Gu, please wait for a few days. I have already contacted the headquarters. I believe that they will send someone over soon. When the time comes, the pills will be sent to the headquarters in the capital to be auctioned. You will definitely not be disappointed.”
Gu Xi thought about it and felt that it was quite good. In any case, there would be more people in the capital. Moreover, he also happened to be going to the capital to participate in the Dao Conference.
...
As the name implied, the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce was all-encompassing. There was nothing in the chamber of commerce that one could not imagine, except for things that one could not buy with money. Moreover, it was spread throughout the entire continent, and there were branches in almost every area unless.
No one knew who the real boss behind it was. Although the chamber of commerce had many shopkeepers and supervisors, they were ultimately only agents. After all, to be able to run such a huge organization, one could imagine how much money and manpower it would take.
It attracted the curiosity of many people, but no one had ever seen the big boss of the myriad chamber of commerce. Therefore, it was shrouded in a layer of mystery. There was once a powerful cultivator who tried to investigate this, but in the end, he was given a very stern warning.
It was not that no one had caused trouble in the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, they were all severely punished in the end. As time went by, no one dared to provoke them. Moreover, it could be said that experts gathered in the headquarters, and they were not the slightest bit inferior to powerful forces and sects.
Very quickly, they received a message from Manager Li.
“What! Someone from the Qingzhou branch put up a Flawless quality pill to auction? How is this possible!?”
“Qingzhou is a small place. Could it be a mistake? How could there be a Flawless pill?”
“Li Buxiang said it with confidence. I’m sure even a small branch manager like him wouldn’t dare to lie to us. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences of lying to us.”
The head manager of the main branch, Fan Baohua, immediately ordered, “Immediately send Elder Sun over to check the situation! If It’s true–”
Even though he had experienced many storms and waves, an extremely excited expression appeared on his face, “It just so happens that the Dao Conference is about to be held. At that time, it will cause a sensation throughout the capital. Our Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce will also become the focus of attention!”
Elder Sun sped up and even used a teleportation array. In less than a day, he arrived at Manager Li’s place.
Manager Li and the others hurriedly came out to welcome him. They never expected that the person who had arrived would be the Chief Alchemist of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce. They immediately became reverent and respectful.
“Quick, quick, quick, where is that pill?”
