The first volume debuts Chapter 27 Consignment Auction
"Congratulations, Senior Sister, for reaching a higher level of cultivation and entering the Spiritual Foundation Realm." Li Xuanfeng clasped his fists and congratulated her wholeheartedly . Being able to fly in the air with a flying object meant that Senior Sister Shen Luoyan had successfully broken through to the Spiritual Foundation Realm after two months of retreat.
After hearing this, Shen Luoyan landed beside Li Xuanfeng with a sense of satisfaction, and encouraged him with a hint of pride: "You have also reached the late stage of Ling Rong, and it won't be long before you can break through to the Lingji realm. Moreover, you have such a strong aptitude, you will catch up with your senior sister in the future."
"I wonder what instructions do you have for me, senior sister?" After exchanging pleasantries, Li Xuanfeng asked the question that was in his mind.
"Can't I come to see you if nothing happens?" Shen Luoyan asked with a hint of displeasure on her face, pretending to be angry.
"Of course, Senior Sister, you can come to see me anytime." Li Xuanfeng explained quickly.
"That's what you said." A hint of cunning appeared in Shen Luoyan's big eyes.
Li Xuanfeng felt like he had been fooled again, but he couldn't take back what he had said, so he had to admit defeat and believe in his heart that his senior sister Shen Luoyan would not make things difficult for him.
"The first-level auction will open in three days. Junior brother, come with me to take a look."
"Okay, I also want to go to the auction to see it all." Li Xuanfeng agreed readily.
"Then it's settled. We'll meet at the entrance of the trading pavilion in three days." After Shen Luoyan finished speaking, he flew away again on Hong Ling.
Li Xuanfeng went to the Trading Pavilion. The auction house was on the third floor of the Trading Pavilion. When the auction house was not open, the third floor was only used to entertain VIPs. There were two auction venues and ten spacious closed rooms on the third floor of the Trading Pavilion. Because auction houses of different levels would not be open at the same time, the two auction venues were enough for alternating use, and the ten private rooms were used to receive VIPs.
He walked into the trading pavilion and went straight to the second floor, where he found the window for selling elixirs. When Li Xuanfeng took out the Lingji Pill, the face of the disciple from the trading pavilion who was receiving him changed instantly, and he looked at Li Xuanfeng deeply.
"Please wait a moment, I will go find our elder." The receiving disciple suddenly said.
Li Xuanfeng was quite puzzled. Why did he need an elder to receive him when he was selling pills? Not long after, the reception disciple appeared with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had obviously listened to the reception disciple's story.
"Mr. Li, my name is Chen Cang, and I am the elder of the Trading Pavilion. Please come upstairs and have a detailed discussion with me." The middle-aged man invited respectfully.
Li Xuanfeng followed Chen Cang up the stairs to the third floor with doubts. He saw that the layout of the third floor was completely different from the first and second floors. There were ten larger rooms in the middle, and closed walls on both sides, each with a closed door.
Chen Cang led Li Xuanfeng into a room, and they both sat down. Li Xuanfeng took out the bottle containing the Lingji Pill and placed it on the table between them.
Chen Cang opened the pill bottle and poured out a Spiritual Base Pill. After carefully observing it, he said solemnly, "It's a low-grade Spiritual Base Pill, and it was recently refined."
"Excuse me, is Mr. Li the alchemist who refined the Lingji Pill?" Chen Cang suddenly looked up at Li Xuanfeng and asked.
Li Xuanfeng smiled without saying anything and did not answer Chen Cang. Instead, he took out a few more pill bottles. As he opened them, Chen Cang's face showed a look of deep shock.
"Top-grade explosive pill, perfect spirit gathering pill, perfect Yuan Hui pill!"
Chen Cang had already confirmed in his heart that Li Xuanfeng was an alchemist and did not ask any more questions about this issue. What shocked him was that Li Xuanfeng had only been in the sect for five months, and not only had his cultivation reached the late stage of Ling Rong, he was also an alchemist who could refine Lingji Pills.
"Mr. Li, from now on you will be the VIP guest of our trading hall. You don't have to wait in line to buy or sell items. Just come to the third floor and there will be a special receptionist to arrange it for you. If you have items you need to sell in the future, please give them to us." Chen Cang said respectfully to Li Xuanfeng. There was no discomfort at all because Li Xuanfeng was a junior. It was a matter of course.
Li Xuanfeng once again felt the noble status of an alchemist. He was actually directly invited by the elders of the Trading Pavilion to become a VIP of the Trading Pavilion and was specifically assigned to arrange for people to buy or sell items.
The scarcity of high-level alchemists has caused a shortage of high-level elixirs in the trading pavilion, so Chen Cang values Li Xuanfeng very much, because Li Xuanfeng's aptitude for alchemy is extremely high.
In fact, what Li Xuanfeng didn't know was that if he were an ordinary alchemist, he would not be worthy of being invited by Chen Cang to become a VIP of the Trading Pavilion. It was his ability to refine spiritual base pills and perfect-level pills with his cultivation in the Lingrong Realm that completely shocked Chen Cang, who valued his talent and future.
"Elder Chen, may I ask if we can entrust the items to the auction house for auction now?" Li Xuanfeng stated his purpose and asked Chen Cang.
"Mr. Li, as a VIP of the Trading Pavilion, you can completely entrust the items to the auction house in advance for subsequent auctions. Moreover, I am the person in charge of this auction. If you have anything you need to entrust to the auction, you can give it to me." Chen Cang explained with a hint of pride.
Li Xuanfeng had learned about the auction house and realized that not just any item could be consigned. The items to be consigned for auction had to be relatively rare. After consideration, he decided to consign the mid-grade Lingji Pill and two perfect pills for auction.
When Li Xuanfeng took out the bottle of middle-grade Lingji Dan again, Chen Cang felt numb with shock. It seemed natural for Li Xuanfeng to do something so shocking again.
"I want to entrust these perfect Soul Gathering Pills, Huiyuan Pills and mid-grade Lingji Pills to an auction. The others are not of high value so just sell them directly." Li Xuanfeng gave out twenty Soul Gathering Pills, twenty Huiyuan Pills and ten Lingji Pills.
"This is the VIP token of the trading pavilion. You can use it to pass through the formation and enter the third floor. These two are the seat cards for the auction house. I'll give them to you as a greeting gift. The VIP token can actually be used as a seat token for the auction house. The other two can be given to friends."
Chen Cang took out three tokens and handed them to Li Xuanfeng. One of the silver tokens had a Chinese character "Bin" written in a flamboyant style, while the other two were purple wooden tokens, each with the word "Auction House" and a number written on it, which was the number of the auction location.
"The elixir you have entrusted to be auctioned has been recorded in the VIP token. A 5% handling fee will be charged for the auction. A 10% handling fee will be charged for the auction if it is entrusted by a non-VIP. The VIP token also has a certain amount of credit limit. Your VIP token can be used for a credit of 2,000 spirit stones. For example, if you do not have enough spirit stones at the auction, you can bid first and return the missing spirit stones later." Chen Cang explained to Li Xuanfeng in detail.
The auction token is the entrance ticket to the auction. Only with the auction token can you enter the auction. Generally, you need to buy it in the trading pavilion. The price of the token depends on the location of the auction. The later the location, the cheaper it is. In the one or two days before the auction is about to start, there will be disciples reselling the token, which will be sold at a relatively high price. Disciples who did not get the token before but want to enter the auction will bite the bullet and buy it. In order to limit this kind of resale behavior, the auction usually only allows one person to buy one token.
It was quite rare for someone like Li Xuanfeng to be given a token. Usually, only VIPs of the trading pavilion or when they entrusted an auction of extremely valuable items would be given a token. The token that Chen Cang gave to Li Xuanfeng was at the front, and its value was not low.
After Li Xuanfeng commissioned the auction of the elixir, he sold the remaining elixir and obtained 500 spirit stones. This was before the two perfect elixirs and the mid-grade spirit base elixir were sold. Among the three elixirs that he commissioned for auction, his elixir had the highest value. The auction house auctions first and then takes the auction items and the spirit stones obtained from the commissioned auction items after the auction. Therefore, you can add a price according to the value of the items you commissioned for auction, and you can deduct it when you take the items after the auction.
"By the way, Elder Chen, please help me conceal my identity as an alchemist. I don't like to cause trouble." Li Xuanfeng said to Chen Cang before leaving.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, we won't disclose the VIP's information." Chen Cang patted his chest and promised.
Li Xuanfeng was relatively assured about the confidentiality of the Trading Pavilion. Their trading activities and auctions required credibility guarantees. Without credibility, they would not be able to gain a foothold.
