Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan stopped at the entrance of an auction house.
“Here we are! Nebula Auction House, the largest auction house in Desert City,” Xu Muan said.
As soon as Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan arrived at the auction house, the steward immediately greeted them with some fear. “Two seniors, what can I do for you?”
“I would like to talk to your boss.” Xiao Jingting put his hands behind his back and said indifferently.
“Senior looked for me, is there anything I can do to help?” A good-looking young man came up. He had a round face and looked kind and friendly.
The steward looked at the young man who came out and introduced him to Xiao Jingting. “Senior Xiao, this is the young owner of our auction house, Lin Tai.”
Xiao Jingting nodded towards Lin Tai and said, “Can I have a word?”
“Of course.” Without saying a word, Lin Tai led Xiao Jingting to the highest standard meeting room.
“I wonder what I can do to help?”
Xiao Jingting took out a dozen bottles of pills and placed them on the table.
Lin Tai examined the pills in the bottles and his face was tinted with inexplicable excitement.
“Senior, are you trying to sell this elixir to our auction house? Our auction house has limited reserves and can’t buy it all.” Lin Tai said nervously.
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “No. I want you to help me hold an auction.”
Xiao Jingting originally wanted to open a pill shop in Desert City, but later he thought about it and realized that they were not well known and there would be no customer just after he opened so he might as well make use of the auction house’s connections and conduct an auction to create momentum for the upcoming opening of the pill store.
“Senior, you want to entrust our auction house the auctioning of these pills?” Lin Tai asked.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes.”
Lin Tai’s eyes glowed with excitement. The pills Xiao Jingting took out were very precious. Holding an auction like this for the other party could greatly increase his auction house’s reputation. Even if he didn’t get a bit of profits, it could still bring a lot of benefits.
“Since senior trusts our auction house so much, our auction house will naturally not let senior down. But Desert City is a small town with limited flow of people, so I need some time for publicity. Senior, when do you wish to conduct the auction?” Lin Tai said somewhat nervously.
Xiao Jingting thought about it and said, “Fifteen days from now.”
Lin Tai thought about it and nodded his head solemnly, saying, “Okay.”
Xiao Jingting and Lin Tai signed the contract and then he left.
“Young master, your chance has come.” After Xiao Jingting left, the steward of the auction house was full of excitement as he talked to Lin Tai.
Lin Tai nodded and said, “Yes.”
Lin Tai was originally a direct descendant of the Lin family who was arranged to come to the Desert city, which was equivalent to being sent out. Lin Tai thought: If I run this auction well, my family will definitely be impressed by me.
Although many people were skeptical of the fact that there were so many pills for sale in a small city like Desert City, it did not stop them from coming over to watch the excitement and take chances.
For a time, in the originally small and calm city, there were many experts who were at the eight or ninth level of Qi Practice. When one casually met a stranger in the street, it could be an expert from somewhere. Under such circumstances, the original four families of Desert City kept a lower profile.
…..
Xiao Jinfeng’s courtyard.
“Back?” seeing Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan return, Xiao Jinfeng welcomed them.
“Did someone come by?” Xiao Jingting asked.
“Grandfather came by.” Xiao Jinfeng said.
Xiao Jingting asked curiously. “It’s that old man, huh? Came to reconcile?”
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said “Yes! However, when father was expelled from the family, he became a little frustrated, so he didn’t agree to grandfather’s request.”
“So it’s like this!” Xiao Jingting said with a lack of interest. In the original body owner’s impression, this grandfather seemed to have always been cultivating in seclusion all the time so Xiao Jingting had never seen this man.
“By the way, I heard that Desert City is going to hold a large-scale pill auction. Are those pills taken out by you?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!”
Xiao Jingfeng nodded and said, “I thought so.” There were not many experts in Desert City, and the number of people with the ability to buy pills was limited. If the pills on the auction house’s list were taken to other places for auction, they should be able to fetch a better price.
“Second brother, how is your cultivation?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Xiao Jinfeng scratched his head and said, “With the spirit stones and pills you gave me, I’ve progressed quickly. I am already at the eighth level of Qi Practice.”
“That’s good, second brother. In two or three years, once the merchant ships come, I will leave. You’d better advance to the Foundation Building stage before I leave,” Xiao Jingting said solemnly.
Xiao Jinfeng smiled awkwardly and said, “Jingting, in fact, the second elder brother’s qualifications aren’t really good.”
Xiao Jingting glanced at Xiao Jinfeng and said, “Maybe second elder brother’s qualifications are not the best but I trust second brother the most.”
Xiao Jinfeng froze for a moment then smiled, and spoke with a firm gaze. “Since you trust second brother so much, second brother will not let you down.”
“I’ll go and see father.” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, “Alright.”
“You came back.” Xiao Linfeng looked at Xiao Jingting and after a few moments, he looked relieved a bit.
“Yes! How are you, father? ” Xiao Jingting asked.
“Much better, just now your grandfather came by and asked about the pills. He wanted to ask you for a few Ice Heart Pills.” Xiao Linfeng said.
Xiao Jingting thought: This old man is not very greedy. He only asked for the Ice Heart Pills and not for Lotus Pills, which are much more precious than the Ice Heart Pills. However, this is not surprising. The Lotus Pills are effective for cultivators at the eighth level of Qi Practice who want to advance to the ninth level of Qi Practice. Unfortunately, except for the second house, Xiao family has no one who has reached to the eight level of Qi Practice.
Xiao Jingting said lightly, “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint the old man. All pills have been entrusted to the auction house for auction. If the old man wants to buy them, I am afraid his only option is bidding.”
Xiao Linfeng nodded and said, “That’s what I said.” But as a result, the old man scolded him badly.
Xiao Linfeng’s eyes were half closed and his whole person looked a little depressed. When Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu disappeared and came back, Xiao Linfeng saw that all his three sons were in bad situations and became somewhat dissatisfied with the old man who just stood by and did nothing. This time when the second house was separated from Xiao family, it made Xiao Linfeng even more discontented with the Xiao family, so he was no longer interested in the affairs of the Xiao family.
“Father, if you’re not feeling well, I won’t disturb you anymore.” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Linfeng nodded and said, “Good.”
