Chapter VIII

Lin Tao wandered aimlessly on the wide streets of Van Mill City, surrounded by bustling crowds, and people wearing all kinds of costumes could be seen everywhere. Caravans, carriages, convoys, knights, monks, and mercenaries of all professions mingle to form a beautiful landscape that shows the prosperity of the city of Van Mill.

Although he had only been in this world for a day, and there were still a lot of things to be familiar with, Lin Tao was not in the mood to do these things at the moment. At present, he is facing one of the biggest problems———— he can't open the pot at home. After so many years, the slightly valuable things in the Lin Mansion have been almost sold, and the rest are some garbage goods, not to mention a few dollars, and I don't know if others want it. What's more, Lin Tao felt that it was not a way to go on like this, he had to find a way to make money.

This can bother Lin Tao, in the previous life, he was just a little Taoist in the foundation building period, where would he bother God about these things, and he had never had the experience of making money.

Not to mention whether this body can do such a job, Lin Tao is not willing to insult the reputation of the ancestors of the Lin family and smear the faces of the dead people, after all, he is still a baron.

After thinking about it, Lin Tao didn't have any better way, and sighed helplessly, no wonder he said that even if the immortals fell into the mortal dust, they would be tainted with vulgarity, which seemed to be good at all, not to mention that he was a little Taoist priest in the foundation building period.

Even in this world, Lin Tao is convinced of the power of the Dao, after all, he has seen the power of the Dao. It's a pity that I don't talk about my Taoism, and I didn't bring anything when I came to this world, but only some elementary alchemy, so-so cooking skills, and half-baked feng shui physiognomy skills.

Thinking of this, Lin Tao patted his head with some joy, turned around and walked in the direction of Lin Mansion.

When Lin Tao returned to the house, Fu Bo was still strange, he had just gone out and didn't have a moment of effort, so why did he turn back again.

Lin Tao didn't explain, but the excited look on his face made Fu Bo a little inexplicable, "Fu Bo, you go to the house and find something tattered and sell it, and then find a medicine, and buy it according to the name I wrote to you." After speaking, he quickly took out the pen and paper, this is poor Lin Tao, although the words in this world say that they know how to write, but they have not practiced, plus they are in an anxious mood, and they write crookedly, and they can barely recognize what words are.

"Young Master, you don't look like you're sick, so this medicine was bought for you?" asked Fauber.

Lin Tao didn't know how to answer, did he tell Fu Boming that he needed these herbs to refine the pill, I was afraid that the other party was even more confused. "Fauber, time is of the essence, don't ask yet, buy it according to what I wrote. ”

Nodding, although Fu Bo's doubts in his heart were getting stronger and stronger, he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and do what Lin Tao ordered.

"Although I can't refine those great pills like the Zhuji Pill and the Returning Divine Pill, and I can't afford to buy materials, can't I refine some detoxification and beauty pills? ”

Taking advantage of the time when Fu Bo went out to buy materials, Lin Tao packed up the tools for alchemy. Alchemy furnace, no, let's take the dead potted plants in the courtyard as a sample. Anyway, it's the lowest level of detoxification and beauty pills, and it doesn't matter what utensils you use.

After about an hour's effort, Fu Bo had already rushed back and brought back a lot of the medicinal materials that Lin Tao needed.

But he didn't know that when Fu Bo went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, the boss was still surprised, after all, these medicinal materials were ground into pills to sell on weekdays, and no one had ever come to buy medicinal materials.

This alchemy was not something that should be in this world, so Lin Tao broke away from Fu Bo and prepared to refine it alone, so as not to ask the old man, Lin Tao didn't know how to explain it.

Rhubarb, American ginseng, green yang ginseng, small red ginseng, Cistanche, Atractylodes, lotus leaf. Lin Tao lined up these medicinal materials, washed them with water, ground them finely, and finally made them into pill shapes, threw them out of the furnace one by one, and then took them to simmer and roasted.

The whole process of alchemy is not complicated, and the refining time of the detoxification and beauty pill is also extremely short. In just two hours, a furnace of good pills appeared in front of Lin Tao, except for the three waste pills, there were a total of seven good pills.

Carefully placing the seven jade-white pills in the glass bottle, Lin Tao was indescribably relaxed. Now that the pill has been successfully refined, it is time to consider how to sell it.

Lin Tao doesn't know how to make money in business, but he is not stupid, the secret that this elixir is from his own hands is impossible to leak to outsiders.

————————————————————

The northwest of Van Mill City is the most prosperous area, and it is the commercial center of the whole Van Mill City, with all kinds of shopfronts, of course, the most important thing is that it is the largest trade distribution center in the whole Van Mill City and even the Slang Empire. Merchants from all over the world used this trade hub to buy what they wanted or sell their own items.

And in the very center of this trade distribution center is a famous auction house, Roken Auction House.

Founded about 30 years ago, the Roken Auction House has been managed by the Luo family, the largest merchant family in Van Mill City, and even the auction house is named after the ancestors of the Luo family. And the Luo family, as one of the few families in Van Mill City and even the Slang Empire that have made great achievements in business, is naturally not to be underestimated. Not to mention the Luo family, which is rich and rivals the country, has tens of thousands of fierce retired soldiers in the entire Silang Empire, and the network of relationships that the Luo family has painstakingly managed for decades is not trivial, from the palace nobles, bureaucrats, ministers, city lords, down to the rich businessmen and tycoons in various places, who does not sell the face of the Luo family? After all, money can make ghosts grind, and the Luo family is the only one who is not short of money.

With such a strong background and financial resources, supplemented by careful management, it is not surprising that this Roken auction house is famous today.

At the Roken Auction House, there are rare treasures from all over the Izumo Continent, even many medicinal herbs, spirit beasts, weapons, and so on that have never been seen or even named.

After buying a silver-gray mask from a nearby vendor and putting it on his face, Lin Tao immediately walked into the Roken auction house.

The reason why he did this was just that he didn't want to reveal his identity, not to mention that this detoxification and beauty pill was a new thing in this world, but if his embarrassing identity was recognized by others, I am afraid it would cause some unnecessary trouble.

Roken Auction has the most professional appraisers in the entire Izumo continent, and if a seller wants to sell some of his treasures through Roken Auction, the first step is to hand over the items to these appraisers to evaluate the value of the items. These appraisers have worked in the Roken auction house for many years, and they have seen more rare treasures than they can count, and ordinary things are really difficult to get into their eyes.

"Hello, this gentleman, do you need any help?" As soon as Lin Tao stepped into the threshold of the auction hall, a middle-aged man in a blue shirt walked over, with a modest smile on his face, and greeted Lin Tao politely. But they didn't feel any discomfort at all because of the silver-gray mask on Lin Tao's face, in their opinion, Lin Tao was just a person who didn't want others to know his identity, and there were not a few people who appeared in this kind of dress in the auction hall on weekdays, so he didn't feel strange at all.

Nodding, Lin Tao deliberately lowered his voice, "Well, I have some fresh things here, and I would like to ask the appraisal masters of your auction house to help with the appraisal, if it is valuable, I want to find a buyer through the auction." ”
