Chapter XXXIV Valuation
After the door opened, a man in a cyan robe came out of it, about thirty years old from his face, and a woman came out behind him, seeing that he was dressed like the girl next to Xu Fan, but his face was much better, what surprised Xu Fan was that this girl's cultivation could not see through, obviously higher than himself.

After the two came out, they exchanged a few simple greetings, and the man in the green robe walked straight to the way Xu Fan had just come, and the woman hurriedly walked to Xu Fan and the two with a smile and said, "Xiaohong, you go down first, I'll take the guests in."
Xiaohong, who was beside Xu Fan, agreed, and then walked towards the way he came.
"Sir, please inside"
Xu Fan nodded slightly, followed the woman to the room, entered the room, and found that although the furnishings inside were simple but very elegant, and it was also a suite, one side was for rest, and the other side was like a study, the woman took him to the study, only to see a long table in the middle of the study, an old man sat behind the table, and a chair was placed in front of the table, and the woman took Xu Fan to the chair and said, "Sir, please sit."
Xu Fan knew at a glance that this old man must be the so-called appraiser, and he was no longer polite, pulled over the chair and sat down, looked up, and found that the old man's cultivation could not be seen, and he said that the strength of this auction house is very strong, and it is estimated that ordinary people would not dare to come here to make trouble.
The old man saw Xu Fan sitting down, and said politely: "In Xia Lu Yuanchang, he is an appraiser here, and I don't know what you want to sell."
Obviously, his cultivation is higher than himself, and he still calls himself a Taoist friend, which is obviously polite, Xu Fan is no longer verbose, and said: "The junior wants to sell an elixir, and ask the senior to identify it", and took out the fifty-year-old orchid grass Qiankun bag and put it on the table.
Hearing Xu Fan say that he wanted to sell the elixir, Lu Yuanchang and the woman next to him were all dazzled, and they all knew that all the elixirs that were put up for auction must be of a longer age, and the elixir was a relatively popular thing, and there were usually few unsuccessful auctions, and the two of them were looking forward to what Xu Fan took out.
The moment the elixir of "Orchid Grass" was taken out, Lu Yuanchang could see what it was, as an appraiser, he practiced eyesight, and he could know the type of thing like the elixir as long as he glanced at it, and carefully took the Orchid Grass on the table in his hand, carefully looked at it and nodded again and again: "Yes, this Orchid Grass has been fifty years old, the branches and leaves are fresh, well-preserved, and the quality is very good.
"This, the younger generation doesn't know much about the market of this elixir, and I hope that the seniors will give me a reserve price" Xu Fan didn't know anything about the market when he first arrived, and he didn't know how many good starts he should take, for fear that if the report was too high, it would be nonsense.
Hearing Xu Fan say this, Lu Yuanchang looked up at the woman next to him, the woman nodded slightly, and then Lu Yuanchang thought about it a little and said to Xu Fan: " Although this orchid grass is not precious, but it is widely used, many pills need to be used, which also leads to the number of orchid grass in the wild is getting smaller and smaller, and the year is getting lower and lower, fifty years of orchid grass is already rare, according to the recent price of the elixir of Yan Kingdom, about seven thousand to nine thousand in the appearance of the spirit stone, I suggest that you start with five thousand medium grade spirit stones to compare insurance, the probability of the transaction is very large, what do you think."
"Seven thousand to nine thousand, my God, I spent a hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and I actually have such a high profit, and there are twelve plants in the storage bag, if I raise them all, wouldn't I make money, one plant is seven thousand, two plants are fourteen thousand, and three plants ......" Xu Fan listened to Old Man Lu say this, and his heart suddenly blossomed, and he had already begun to count his wealth there, and he almost laughed out loud.
"Are you dissatisfied with this price, what I'm talking about is just a conservative price, and the final price has to be set by yourself" Lu Yuanchang saw that Xu Fan didn't answer for a long time, and thought that he was not satisfied with the price, as an appraiser, the price generally given is more in line with the market situation, of course, many people are blindly confident in their own things, and they don't listen to the appraiser at all, and many of them have been miserably auctioned.
"No, I'm very satisfied, I'm very satisfied, let's start shooting at the price that my predecessor said" Xu Fan found that he was really a little unproductive, and he didn't get the money, so he became excited here.
"Well, the rules of the auction house will tell you in advance, if the auction is successful, we will take 10% of the fee, if the auction is unsuccessful, we will not take a penny, if you think it is appropriate, I will register, there is a small auction in the afternoon," Lu Yuanchang said.
"No problem, just do what the seniors said", Xu Fan still understands the rules of the auction house, anyway, as long as his elixir is auctioned out, it will be a big profit, so it doesn't matter.
After agreeing, Lu Yuanchang registered Xu Fan's elixir, and gave Xu Fan a number plate, telling Xu Fan that after the auction was over, he could receive the spirit stone or the original with the license plate, hoping that Xu Fan would keep it well, and only recognize the brand and not the person when the time came.
The auction was held in the afternoon, and Xu Fan didn't stay long, and decided to go out and come back in the afternoon.
After Xu Fan left, in the appraiser's room, Lu Yuanchang said to the woman next to him: "If I'm not mistaken, this orchid grass seems to have been picked in the past two days, and the closest place to get this grass is the Two Realms Mountain, but it will take fifteen days to reach the Two Realms Mountain at the earliest, how can he get it so quickly with his cultivation, and it is also a fifty-year elixir, it's incredible."
"It's a little strange, it's a pity that he can't see his true face clearly when he wears a cloak, and I don't know if he is a disciple of the Great Sect or a casual cultivator, forget it anyway, we are making money and doing business, no matter how he got it, even if he robbed it, he wouldn't dare to make trouble in our auction house if he was discovered" The woman said disdainfully.
"Ping'er, it's time for the family annual meeting in more than a month, the turnover of our auction house is still a little worse than last year, if it can't exceed last year, I'm afraid it will become an excuse for many of your brothers and sisters to attack, they have been coveting your position as the head of the auction house for a long time" Lu Yuanchang looked at the woman worriedly and said.
This woman named Ping'er is the seventh daughter of Wan Qingshan, the head of the Wan family, because of her intelligence and wit, she was arranged by her father Wan Qingshan to be the general manager of this auction house, this auction house is the most important industry of Wanjia, and all major towns in Yan Country have the branch of Wantong Auction House, and it is also the main source of income of Wanjia, so many people in Wan Ping'er's family are blushing.
Although others are red-eyed, but Wan Ping'er is indeed a good businessman, since taking over, almost every year the turnover will increase, even his father's favor, but in recent years, several other big families have also begun to engage in the business of the auction house, for a while the competition has become more and more fierce, Wantong's business is not so easy to do, relatively, the annual turnover growth is also a lot less, which has also become a reason for others to attack her, fortunately, although the growth is small, but it is still growing, and Wan Qingshan also knows the current market situation, so he still trusts the business of the auction house to Wan Ping'er to take care of。
But this year's situation is indeed a bit unoptimistic, the turnover of Wantong Auction House has not been the same as last year, and many brothers and sisters in the family are waiting to see Wan Ping'er's jokes.
"This year, two more auction houses have risen, and a lot of business has been divided, I believe that my father will make the right choice" Although Wan Ping'er said this, she still had some worries in her heart, she knew her brothers and sisters best, she was not very capable, but she liked to intrigue all day long, and she was in a big family, and she couldn't enjoy the love of family, but there were indifferent eyes everywhere, and her heart was full of bitterness every time she thought of it.
When Xu Fan came, it was almost noon, so he found a restaurant outside to eat something, drank tea, and hurriedly walked towards the auction again, thinking that if he could sell out earlier, he could return to the sect early.
When I came to the door of the auction house again, the atmosphere was different, the morning was deserted, but it would be very lively, I saw a large number of men and women walking inside, at a glance, Xu Fan was divided into three, six, nine and so on, those who wore uniform costumes, at first glance they were the disciples of the sect, those who were dressed brightly, at first glance they were the big men in the city, and those who were dressed casually and ordinary, they must be casual cultivators, and some people wore more concealed clothes, such as those with cloaks like he did in the morning, Xu Fan couldn't understand what he was doing.
Xu Fan put away the cloak before he came over, and he didn't buy anything, mainly because he was concerned about how much money his elixir could sell, and he was also watching the excitement, so there was no need to hide his face, but the clothes of the sect were still not worn, but he wore ordinary casual clothes.
Follow the flow of people, come to the auction hall of the auction house, and find that the space inside is really not small, the seats alone can accommodate more than 1,000 people, I heard the people next to me say that this is still a small auction hall, because Wantong Auction House will have a small auction every three days, most of them are placed in this small hall, most of the small auctions are some general price things, and a large auction will be held every three months, at that time the sales are all rare treasures, of course, if someone is in a hurry to use the money, they will also put good things in this small auction for auction, but the price is certainly not as high as the big auction。
The reason is that most of the small auctions are Yanguo locals, and there are also passing merchants, and during the large-scale auctions, many big merchants from other countries around the country will gather here, and those merchants are financially strong and can afford to pay the price, and the lots can be sold for more money.
Xu Fan, as a person watching the excitement, found a remote corner and sat down, watching the people who came in the hall one after another, listening to all kinds of discussions and anecdotes.
Suddenly, at the entrance, there was a stirring in the crowd, and someone shouted: "Hello Chen Gongzi", and then a few more people shouted to say hello, Xu Fan was very curious, and also stood up from his seat, wanting to see who came and had such influence.
