Chapter Twenty-Three: The Auction

The shop has a total of two floors, sitting in the north and facing south, in the most central street of Flame City, Zhuge Liuyun is very satisfied.

Thinking that he was going to create his own business empire here, Zhuge Liuyun was still a little excited in his heart.

With a command to Luo'er, Zhuge Liuyun walked towards the outskirts of the city.

......

Coming to the top of the mountain, Zhuge Liuyun took out the pill and the pill, and began a new round of alchemy.

The time for alchemy always passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month passed, Zhuge Liuyun finally refined ten top-quality healing pills, and he couldn't imagine that this top-quality pill would be so difficult to refine.

Today's Zhuge Liuyun has been able to easily refine a high-quality Healing Pill, but he is a little powerless to improve his quality, and he doesn't know why.

At the same time, his cultivation had already reached the Sixth Heaven of the Gathering Spirit Realm, which was also a big surprise.

During this period, in addition to improving the quality of the Rejuvenation Pill and cultivating exercises, Zhuge Liuyun also set out to develop a series of beauty pills such as the Beauty Pill, the Rejuvenation Pill, the Rejuvenation Pill, and the Snow Skin Pill.

The efficacy of the pill in the first stage is relatively weak, and the price can be controlled, and the brand and reputation can be launched first, and then a series of medium and high-end products will be launched, which is Zhuge Liuyun's plan.

The grades of these beauty pills are relatively low, all of them are low-grade yellow products, and they are relatively simple to refine, and the rate of the best quality pills has reached 100%.

After cleaning up, Zhuge Liuyun returned to Flame City.

......

On Murong Qingxue's side, after delivering the task, he used the money in exchange to buy a lot of goods and bring them back to his uncle and uncle in the village.

They had never seen so many precious things in their lives, and they were very happy in their hearts, but what made them even happier was that Murong Qingxue finally had a chance.

This lovely hard-working child, although she is not their biological child, they have always raised her as their own daughter, and have watched her grow up since she was a child.

Looking at those happy faces, Murong Qingxue was relieved.

But she didn't stay long, because she had already decided to go to Loel and tell him the truth.

Before leaving, she also left a large bag of gold coins.

......

After coming to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, Zhuge Liuyun walked to the auction registry, and the one who received him was still the deacon from before.

"Hello, I want to auction the elixir".

The man was slightly stunned, thinking to himself why this young man again, "The minimum requirement is a mid-level pill of the intermediate grade of Huangpin."

Zhuge Liuyun nodded, then took out a small bottle and handed it over.

The man opened the cap of the bottle disapprovingly, but he almost dropped the bottle without shaking his hands, "The best quality... Are Shaoxia sure that he wants to put such a precious pill up for auction?"

Although this bottle of Rejuvenation Pill is only of the middle grade of the Yellow Grade, but this superb quality is extremely difficult to refine, and the medicinal effect is naturally not comparable to the ordinary quality, since he came to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, it is the first time he has seen someone take out the best quality pill for auction.

Zhuge Liuyun nodded slightly, "I don't know what price this bottle of pill can be auctioned?"

The man shook his head, "It's the first time I've encountered this kind of quality pill, and there was a bottle of medium-grade healing pill that sold for 400,000 yuan before."

After registering, Zhuge Liuyun returned to the inn, and before leaving, the man gave him an admission ticket for the auction.

......

In the evening, Zhuge Liuyun took Luo'er to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce.

The deacon greeted Zhuge Liuyun with a smile on his face, "The young man is here."

Zhuge Liuyun nodded, and the two walked into the auction hall with him.

At this time, the venue was already full, and the two finally found a vacant seat in the corner and sat down.

After a while, the auction was held as scheduled, and I saw an old man with gray hair slowly walking up to the stage.

"Thank you for coming to participate in the auction organized by the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, this auction is based on the principles of fairness, justice and openness, the highest bidder will be rewarded, no intimidation, no obstruction, if found, will be blacklisted by the Imperial Chamber of Commerce for life."

"Without further ado, please ask for the first auction item."

Then I saw a girl in a sexy uniform slowly walking up to the stage, holding a tray in her hand.

The old man continued to speak, "This is a set of yellow-level spirit beast suits, which are made of the wings of the Xuanbing Giant Goose and the Demon Pill, plus the Tianshan Xuantie, which is extremely tough, with a starting price of 400,000 gold coins."

This spirit animal set is also quite popular.

"I'll give 500,000".

"I'll give 600,000".

"I'll give 800,000".

......

After some competition, it was finally sold at a price of 1.2 million.

Zhuge Liuyun let out a long sigh, this first auction item is as high as more than one million, and the things that want to come here are really not something that a poor man like himself can covet.

"The second auction item is here, it is a Xuanjie Tianshan Ice Demon Pill, with a starting price of 600,000 yuan."

"I'll give 700,000".

"I'll give 800,000".

......

This demon pill is also extremely sought-after, and it was finally sold at a price of two million.

......

Most of the next few auction items are spirit beast demon pills and weapons and equipment, and the prices are even higher than the other, Zhuge Liuyun can only watch blankly.

"Below is the eighth auction item, a Tencel cicada armor, the silk armor is as thin as a cicada's wings, the whole body is snow-white, and the weight is only a few taels, but it can withstand the physical attack of weapons below the ground level, with a starting price of 400,000 yuan."

This is a good defensive prop, but it's a pity that it's a bit of a chicken rib for cultivators, what's the use of blocking physical attacks, everyone shook their heads, obviously a little disgusted.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liuyun hurriedly shouted, "I'll give 400,000."

As a result, he really let him auction it at the starting price, and he wanted to take down the cicada armor and give it to Luo'er, after all, he didn't know how to cultivate, and having this thing was at least a little guaranteed.

......

"Here's the last auction item of the day, a bottle of Healing Pill."

When they heard this, they all sighed.

"I didn't expect the auction item in this finale to be a bottle of Healing Pill, which is really disappointing."

"That's right, I thought it would be some kind of good baby!"

Everyone, you and I are discussing.

......

I saw that the old man waved his hand, "Let's be quiet, this is not an ordinary bottle of Healing Pill, but a bottle of Yellow Intermediate Grade Healing Pill."

As soon as these words came out, the venue exploded instantly.

"Superb quality, I heard it right!"

"This kind of life-saving elixir, I don't know which stupid fork actually took it out for auction."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liuyun's forehead was covered with black lines, this Nima's.

"I'll give a million".

The old man smiled slightly, and as he expected, the starting price did not need to be said.

"I'll give 1.6 million".

"I'll give two million".

"Two and a half million".

"Three million".

......

In the end, this bottle of Healing Pill was sold for six million, which really shocked Zhuge Liuyun.

After deducting 20% of the merchant's commission, and then deducting the 400,000 yuan spent on the auction, there are still more than 4 million left, thinking that the cost of this store decoration and the first stage should be enough, thinking of this, Zhuge Liuyun's heart is beautiful.

The deacon of the Chamber of Commerce didn't expect this pill to fetch such a high price, but he was very happy.

I saw that he respectfully opened a VIP card for Zhuge Liuyun of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and then sent the two out of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Zhuge Liuyun to come and visit often, it seems that he also received a lot of commission for selling this bottle of elixir.

On the way back, Zhuge Liuyun was still humming a little song, obviously having blossomed in his heart.

......

In the early morning of the next day, Zhuge Liuyun took Luo'er to wander the streets and alleys of Flame City.

He had to choose the materials himself, design them himself, and then hire a carpenter to help with the decoration.

I bought a large number of jade, gold, nanmu, and night pearls.

Now he has millions of dollars in his hands, and he wants to make the store magnificent.

At the end of the day, both of them broke their legs, and finally arranged everything.

......

Soon, a brand new store was presented to the two of them.

Luo'er couldn't help but exclaim when she saw it, "This is too beautiful!"

The shop is surrounded by jade as a wall, bordered with gold, and the roof is also paved with fluorescent colored balls in the ring of Zhuge Liuyun space, and a golden plaque is hung directly above the door, on which are written the three big characters of Meirentang.

The furniture in the shop is all made of nanmu, and the floors and walls are made of jade and gold in proportion.

The ceiling is inlaid with 9981 night pearls, which is simply extremely luxurious.

The handrails of the stairs on the second floor are also all inlaid with gold and jade.

On the second floor, apart from an empty hall and a few private rooms, all that remains is a bedroom.

Zhuge Liuyun plans to treat this place as his nest in the future.

"Luo'er, I have people arrange the rooms on the second floor, you go up and choose the one you like, and this will be our home in the future."

Hearing this, Luo Er couldn't wait to run upstairs.

These days, I have been living in Fuwei Inn, although Uncle Fu is very good, but after all, it is not his own home.

Walking into the bedroom, Luo'er was instantly fascinated by the layout inside.

The bed, sofa, and wardrobe inside are all built by Zhuge Liuyun according to the European style of the carpenter.

The furniture is also inlaid with various patterns carved in jade, and each room has a separate bathroom and bathtub.

Seeing Luo'er's happy smile, Zhuge Liuyun was very pleased.

Now that the store and the pill are ready, the next thing to do is to recruit staff and promote the pill before the opening.

After several days of recruitment, Zhuge Liuyun and Luo'er were exhausted, but the two of them were miserable and happy.

......

In less than a week before the opening, Zhuge Liuyun designed a lot of advertising leaflets for employees to distribute to all corners of Flame City, and also used lottery tickets to attract customers.

Because the publicity is very well done, many people come to ask about the pill every day, but fortunately, Zhuge Liuyun popularized the homework for the employees in advance.

Because there were too many people, they simply set up a table at the door to explain the effects of these elixirs to the people, and said that the young women had happy faces and said that they must come and buy their products.

After the rest of the matter was explained clearly, Zhuge Liuyun no longer participated, and Luo'er was fully responsible.

During this period, he was mainly responsible for refining elixirs and developing products for the next stage.

......

In the Lieyang Palace, a delicate woman looked at the Dongfang Liuli in front of her, "Xiao Li'er, do you know where the color ring monk came from?"

Dongfang Liuli tilted her head and thought for a while, "Could it be that sister-in-law suspects that the little monk is deliberately approaching Li'er?"

Princess Lieyang shook her head, but she was a little worried in her heart, "Where do you want to go, I see that you are playing so well, maybe you can be included in the shortlist for choosing a son-in-law in the future."

After speaking, he smiled coquettishly.

Dongfang Liuli's face turned red instantly, although she was quite a tiger in front of outsiders, but she was a good baby in front of this sister-in-law.

"What did my sister-in-law say? He's a monk!"

Princess Lieyang smiled slightly, "What's wrong with the monk? I see that he is still carrying a wine jug, and he is not a serious monk at all, maybe he will save his hair for two years and become a personable young man."

Dongfang Liuli was speechless for a while, "Then let's wait until he has enough hair!"

Princess Lieyang couldn't help but snort, and laughed, "You kid, it's just that you can't have the heart of harming people, and you can't have the heart of guarding against people, if you make friends in the future, you need to be more cautious, be sure to find out the origin of the other party, in case something goes wrong with you, let me explain to your brother under the spring."

Hearing this, Dongfang Liuli's eyes darkened, "I don't care, time can dilute everything, but it's just a bitter sister-in-law, and I married into my Lieyang Mansion at the age of the flower season, but I just visited the church, and I didn't even have a cave room, so Brother Wang put on armor and went into battle."

Princess Lieyang was also heartbroken, "This is my sister-in-law's life, I don't blame anyone."
