Chapter 229 Successful transaction
Not long after, a fake alchemy-level spiritual pressure descended on the side hall where the two were.
"President."
Gao Songbai got up to salute.
The visitor was a Jurchen with a beautiful face and silver hair in a snow robe.
This woman's skin is like snow, her temperament is icy, and she looks like she is in her early twenties.
"It turned out to be Daoist Hanyu! Xiang, what virtue and ability, let the president of the Xuehu Chamber of Commerce meet him in person."
Lu Changan's tone was humble, and his body also exuded fake pill-level mana fluctuations.
Two strands of spiritual pressure, which can be closed with one touch in the void.
Before the visit, Lu Changan collected information, and naturally got to know the important figures of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
Currently, the monk with the highest status in the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce in Xiancheng is Daoist Hanyu who has taken over as the president for several years.
"Xiang Zhenzhen is polite."
Realist Hanyu has a beautiful appearance, with a pair of icy eyes, he looks at the old man in coir raincoat opposite him.
The two sat down at the ceremony.
Gao Songbai, who had received Lu Changan before, voluntarily withdrew from the side hall.
Lu Changan maintains the mana breath of fake pill level, and the magic mask will continue to consume consciousness.
Pretend to be low-level, and the consumption of spiritual consciousness is extremely small, which can basically be ignored.
It is different to pretend to be high-level, and it is impossible to perform for a long time.
However, it is not a big burden to make a guest appearance in a short period of time.
"The concubine basically knows all the real people in the world of cultivating immortals in Jingguo, but where does Xiang Zhenren come from?"
Master Hanyu asked with a clear voice, seeming to be curious.
"Xiang is a casual cultivator who formed a fake alchemy in a small place, so it's not worth mentioning."
Lu Changan's answer was very perfunctory.
Looking at the world of cultivating immortals in Jingguo, although there are many fake alchemy real people, except for those who deliberately hide, they are all famous and well-known figures.
Master Hanyu saw that the other party didn't want to show his true face, so he didn't ask the bottom line.
Actually, Xiang Zhenren's title made some associations with Han Yu.
However, Lu Changan's image is far from the one in the rumors, and he cannot be inferred from just one surname.
The real Xiang in front of him is probably a pseudonym.
Lu Changan called himself Xiang, so he naturally had some considerations.
If the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce suspects that he is Xiang Jinglong, it will be even more afraid to make a move in the transaction.
On the one hand, Xiang Jinglong is strong, he has cultivated his body to the quasi-third level, and he is quite famous among fake alchemy real people.
On the other hand, the Demon Cult is powerful, and the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce dare not offend easily and form a death feud.
In case the deal goes wrong and someone is exposed, Lu Chang'an will use the identity of "Xiang Zhenren" to cover the truth.
You must know that Lu Changan's body training formula has also been cultivated to the quasi-third level, which is extremely rare among fake alchemy real people.
Three years ago, while riding the spirit ship of the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce, he was intercepted by the monks of the Demon Cult led by Xiang Jinglong, who asked Lu Changan to pay a "ransom" of three thousand spirit stones.
This account that should not be paid, Lu Changan silently made a note in his heart.
…
"The Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is willing to buy this third-order demon pill. I don't know if Master Xiang wants the spirit stone or barter?"
After the appraisal, Master Hanyu got straight to the point.
For this appraisal, the demon pill is in Lu Changan's hands, and she is allowed to investigate with her spiritual sense.
Combined with Elder Gao's personal appraisal before, Master Hanyu has a rough assessment of the quality and value of this demon pill.
"Xiang wants a third-order earth-type demon pill." Lu Changan was also straightforward.
He didn't mention Congealing Crystal Pill, that's unrealistic.
Such strategic resources, even if the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce has them, they will not sell them to outsiders.
"Earth demon pill?"
Realist Hanyu frowned slightly, and said in a somewhat embarrassed way:
"This chamber of commerce does not have a third-order earth-type demon pill. If Xiang Zhenren is willing to wait for a year and a half, we are sure to trade one from other channels."
From the words of this Jurchen, Lu Changan speculated that the Snow Fox Merchant would have third-order demon pills with other attributes.
A year and a half, compared to Lu Changan's long lifespan, it is considered very short.
But for transactions, it seems long.
Lu Changan didn't want to have long nights and dreams, so he adjusted the plan:
"Does your chamber of commerce have a third-order evil spirit pill?"
Sha Yuan Pill is a medicinal pill refined from the third-order demon pill as the main material, which can help monsters attack the third-order.
This pill uses few rare auxiliary medicines, and the main material, the demon pill, contains evil spirits, and the refining method is relatively simple.
The above factors lead to strong drug properties, and the risk of backlash from promotion failure is extremely high.
Therefore, Sha Yuan Pill is only suitable for monsters, and it can be regarded as a rough and reduced version of Congealing Crystal Pill.
Regardless of applicability or value, it is not as good as Ningjing Pill.
As for the properties of the medicine, taking it by monsters is not much worse than Ningjing Pill, but the risk and the cost of backlash are greater.
"Shayuan Pill? This chamber of commerce has one, and it can be delivered from other chambers of commerce within ten days at most."
Master Han Yu pondered.
Ten days, Lu Changan can accept it.
After participating in the auction, wait a few days before you can trade.
"It's just that a third-rank low-grade demon pill is not enough to trade the evil spirit pill."
"You must know that the main material for refining Shayuan Pill is the third-order demon pill, and there are other medicines and auxiliary medicines, including the reward for inviting a third-order alchemist to refine alchemy..."
Realist Hanyu has a reserved demeanor, but in terms of transaction value, he will not give in.
"That's wrong. The refining difficulty of Shayuan Pill is lower. With the third-order demon pill as the main medicine, there are more than one Chengdan every time it is baked." Lu Changan shook his head and said.
"What's more, the demon pill in Xiang's hand was originally a late third-order demon pill, which contains thunder attributes, pure demon power, and is quite precious, surpassing ordinary third-order low-grade demon pills."
"According to Xiang, your Chamber of Commerce not only has to produce a genuine Sha Yuan Pill, but also has to give some extra compensation."
After listening to this rebuttal, Master Hanyu pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "Renren Xiang understands the market. But our chamber of commerce has a big business, and when we purchase materials, no profit means a loss."
"What profit are you talking about? Your chamber of commerce cannot make friends."
Lu Changan, who was disguised as an old man in coir raincoat, let out a smirk, with a somewhat cheeky look.
Master Hanyu was slightly taken aback, his appearance was calm and calm, and he did not get angry.
Finally, both sides made a concession.
Lu Changan traded a third-order demon pill for a genuine Shayuan pill.
"Xiang lives in the Xunxian Mansion Inn, your Chamber of Commerce can contact the old man within ten days, and it will be invalid after the expiration date!"
The deal was concluded, and Lu Changan was about to leave.
"Can Zhenren Xiang pay a deposit? It doesn't need to be of much value, just leave a small object. The main thing is to show sincerity."
Master Han Yu proposed.
For certain major transactions, the Chamber of Commerce may sign a contract to bind it.
However, in order to restrain the fake alchemy real person, a third-level spiritual deed is required, which is expensive.
"This high-grade magic weapon, your merchant will accept it first."
Lu Changan took out a metal spherical magic weapon, squeezed it lightly, and threw it to Master Hanyu.
He understood the request of Daoist Hanyu, mainly to prevent himself from talking, and finally found other chambers of commerce to trade.
"Xiang Zhenren walks slowly."
Master Hanyu took the top-grade magic weapon, glanced at it, and couldn't help but change color.
I saw that the high-grade magic weapon in her hand left a palm print about an inch deep.
The palm print is extremely flat, exuding residual heat, obviously left just now.
Just now, she clearly didn't feel any mana fluctuations.
"Just relying on the palm of your body, do this lightly."
"Could it be that he is really the one in the rumors..."
Master Han Yu's calm heart was filled with waves, and his icy eyes stared at the departing old man.
She knew that the other party's method was to warn the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce not to play tricks in the transaction.
A fake alchemy real person, who has cultivated body training to the quasi-third level, can be regarded as a top-notch person of its kind.
Even if Zhendan came in person in the early stage, there was no way to solve it quickly.
…
That night, Lu Changan returned to Xunxianfu Inn.
In the past half a day, with the help of the Jiuyin Monument, he had secretly observed the residence of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce with his spiritual consciousness.
Lu Changan noticed that Master Hanyu was afraid of his strength and identity, and he did not disclose this matter to other juniors.
"The power of the Demon Cult has taken root along the border of Jing State and penetrated into the upper echelons of the business alliance. In addition to controlling some key business routes, it has extraordinary influence in the Jing State Business Alliance."
Lu Changan is clear that most of the chambers of commerce in the business alliance do not want to be enemies with the Demon Cult; some chambers of commerce even cooperate closely with the Demon Cult for the sake of profit.
In the realm of cultivating immortals in Jing Country, the sect is not that strong. Although they are slightly hostile to the Demon Sect, and there were some small frictions in the past, but at present, it is well water that does not offend river water.
The main reason is that the climate of the Demon Cult has just formed, and it is difficult to solve it. At present, there is no act of capturing the third-order spiritual veins in the territory.
Moreover, Liang Shaotian, the leader of the Demon Cult, is powerful, and the "Black Gang Demon Flame" he masters is one of the top ten real flames of Daqing. It has been cultivated to the realm of Xiaocheng, below Yuanying Zhenjun, and there are few opponents.
…
Three days later, the auction of Yunyan Fairy City was held as scheduled.
Third-rank demon pills, foundation building pills, high-quality life-extending pills...all kinds of rare items have attracted many surrounding cultivating forces.
In Xunxianfu Inn, Lu Changan unexpectedly received a VIP invitation letter, which was sent by the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce.
It turns out that the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is one of the main organizers of this auction.
The auction in Yunyan Immortal City is slightly larger than that in Huanglong Immortal City.
Lu Changan held the VIP invitation letter, and was ushered by the waiter to the VIP stand suspended above the venue.
"For an auction of this scale, the foundation-building stage is the mainstream, and the fake alchemy real people are considered top-notch. There are at most two or three real alchemy monks, and they are basically in the early stage of real alchemy."
Lu Changan observed the situation on the field with a firm heart.
He bought information in advance and knew the information of the auction item in advance, with at least a 90% accuracy rate.
Among the many auction items, the second-order boutique Yanshou Pill attracted him the most.
Lu Changan analyzed that his competitors are mainly the late stage of foundation establishment and fake real people.
Longevity Dan attracts the elderly.
In the foundation building period of ordinary old people, looking for ordinary second-order longevity pills, which is cost-effective.
As for the true alchemy cultivator, his lifespan is as high as five or six hundred years. If they are looking for life extension, the monks of Zhendan have basically taken the second-order longevity pill, and they are pursuing the third-order longevity pill.
Second-tier boutique Yanshoudan, the elderly among the monks of Zhendan, the probability of taking it is not small.
In addition, if you have taken ordinary second-order longevity pills in the past, and then take high-quality products, the effect of life extension will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Lu Changan deduced that the possibility of Zhendan monks bidding for life extension of the second-order boutique is very low.
So what if monk Zhendan bids for the auction? There are still people who dare to compete for the life-limited ones among the fake alchemy real people.
After all, there is only half a realm difference between fake pills and real pills.
In actual combat, the three fake pills teamed up, barely able to compete with the real pill in the early stage.
It is on the left side of Lu Changan, in the third adjacent VIP stand.
"Father, the patriarch is interested in the second-tier boutique Longevity Pill, but he didn't come to the auction in person. Could it be that he is guarding against the 'New Moon Merchant Guild' attacking the clan?"
Xia Mingqu sensed the powerful aura of those fake real people in the venue, and felt that she had no confidence.
"It's not that serious."
Xia Mingqu's father is a tall, thin middle-aged man with a fair complexion wearing a lun scarf.
Xia's father's name is Xia Yongzhong, and he is the president of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.
"The patriarch has taken ordinary second-order longevity pills before. This time we mainly let us try our luck. If the competition is too fierce, there is no need to force it."
Xia Yongzhong smiled and explained the reason.
"Huh? This auction, Wu Danshi didn't come?"
In the venue, monks are almost full. Xia Yongzhong and Xia Mingqu patrolled around, but did not see Lu Changan.
"It's also strange. I disclosed the news of the auction to him a few days ago. The foundation-building late-stage break-level pill sought by Wu Danshi will be sold at this auction, and he didn't come to try his luck?"
Xia Mingqu said in surprise.
The monks of the Xia clan naturally didn't know that Lu Changan was at the VIP table not far from them, and he was participating in the auction as a fake real person Dan.
…
An hour later, the auction entered the second half, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.
"The next auction item is the holy medicine for life extension, the second-order longevity pill!"
On the auction stage, a black-skinned old man spoke passionately.
"There are three Tier 2 Life Extension Pills in this auction, one of which is a very rare Tier 2 quality product! The Life Extension Pill has a life extension effect of more than 30% more..."
Before the words were finished, some elderly Foundation Establishment cultivators and several fake alchemists in the venue had sharp eyes.
"As we all know, among the longevity pills of the same grade, only the first one can prolong life, and the effects cannot be superimposed."
"However, the high-quality Longevity Pill is different. After taking a normal-grade Longevity Pill, taking the high-quality one again will still have a 20-30% life-extending effect."
After the introduction by the auctioneer, the auction of the high-quality Longevity Pill is the first.
"Second-tier boutique Longevity Pill, the auction starts with 4,000 spirit stones, and the price increase is no less than 100 spirit stones each time."
Rare things are more expensive.
The effect of the second-order high-quality Longevity Pill is only 30% better than that of ordinary ones, and the starting price is more than double that of Lu Changan's auction in Liang Guo that year.
Lu Changan understood that this was actually a marginal effect.
What's more, the effect of the boutique Longevity Pill, when taken for the second time, can be slightly superimposed to prolong life.
"Four thousand five hundred!"
"Five thousand spirit stones!"
"Five thousand three hundred... five thousand eight hundred... six thousand spirit stones!"
In a short time, the auction price of the boutique Longevity Pill broke through six thousand spirit stones.
You must know that the Foundation Establishment Pill, which is also the second rank, as a strategic resource, is often in this range at the auction.
"Seven thousand spirit stones!" Lu Changan made a strong offer, directly increasing the price by one thousand spirit stones.
This action caused dissatisfaction among the elderly monks present.
Some eyes and spiritual consciousness swept over.
Lu Changan snorted softly, and a fake alchemy-level spiritual pressure emerged on his body, and his powerful spiritual consciousness shook away some impolite spiritual consciousness.
After a few late stages of foundation establishment, the sea of consciousness was shocked, his complexion turned pale, and he was backlashed.
"Such a strong spiritual sense!"
Among them, the fake Dan real person who was the main competitor showed a look of fear.
The spiritual consciousness revealed by Lu Changan is better than ordinary fake real people.
"Seven thousand two hundred." Lu Changan felt a little familiar with the young voice who quoted this time.
It turned out to be a famous summer song.
"Eight thousand spirit stones!"
Lu Changan's tone is domineering, and the offer at this time already has a huge premium.
"Famous song!" Xia Yongzhong winked at his son, signaling him not to follow.
"Baby understands." Xia Mingqu sighed.
This real fake alchemist is powerful and has an unknown origin, so he should not be offended.
Moreover, the markup is not worth it.
Ordinary second-order life-extending pills usually do not exceed three thousand spirit stones at auctions.
"Congratulations to this fellow daoist, you won the only high-quality longevity pill in this auction."
The auctioneer looked excited and announced.
In the end, Lu Changan won the second-order boutique Longevity Pill with 8,000 spirit stones.
The few remaining competitors were either afraid of Lu Changan's strength, or thought it was worthless, so they didn't follow suit.
The value of a real fake alchemy must be more than 10,000 spirit stones; but the cash flow of 10,000 spirit stones can be easily used to buy three years of life-enhancing effect, which is not much.
In addition, there are influences and bonds of juniors.
"Ordinary second-order life-extending pills, the first time an ordinary monk takes it, can prolong life for more than ten years, and it cannot be superimposed. I took it for the first time, and it prolongs life for more than 20 years. The following pills, the effect decreases for the first time."
Lu Changan remembered that the fifth second-order life-extending pill he took had a life-extending effect of up to eight years.
Today, he still has 469 years to live.
"Ordinary monks, taking the high-quality longevity pill, have an additional or superimposed effect of 30%."
Lu Changan was very curious about how long he could prolong his life after taking the second-order high-quality longevity pill for the first time.
…
Before sunset, Lu Changan returned to Xunxianfu Inn.
In this auction, besides winning the high-quality Longevity Pill with a strong bid, he also bought two third-order materials.
Third-order materials can be used to refine third-order puppets in the future, or to increase the strength of quasi-third-order puppets.
Lu Changan was relatively high-profile at the auction, which attracted the attention of some forces.
Fortunately, a powerful fake alchemy real person can fully bear the richness of this category.
After the auction ended, representatives of many forces visited Lu Changan, either to try or win him over.
Lu Changan was unkind, and refused all visits, including invitations from fake real people.
It is worth mentioning that among the visitors is Xia Yongzhong, the president of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, who is Xia Mingqu's father.
Naturally, Lu Changan would not make an exception and let the Xia family and his son be shut out.
