Chapter 153 Elixirs Are Hard to Find
After putting away the pills, Ji Tianzuo walked towards the "Shaoge Auction House" written on the paper.
Within the imperial city!
Ji Tianzuo wasn't very familiar with the capital city, but he quickly found the Shaoge Auction House after inquiring about its name.
The four characters of Shaoge Auction House are written in a bold and elegant style, and the storefront is extremely luxurious!
Because Feng Jiutian made an example of him last time, the guards were quite sensible this time and didn't stop him much. Besides, Ji Tianzuo had quite a magnanimous demeanor.
Ji Tianzuo strode in, only to be greeted by a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Before them lay a dazzling display of lights, with countless rare and precious treasures casually laid out, a truly lavish affair.
Ji Tianzuo lowered his eyes, concealing the surprise in them.
"The auction hasn't started yet. If you wish to bid on the treasures, please go to the second floor to find Elder Wang," a beautiful woman said gently as she approached.
Ji Tianzuo nodded and walked directly to the second floor.
Old Wang, who was dozing on the second floor, saw Ji Tianzuo come up and said casually, "Just put the items on the table, and someone will naturally set a price for you."
This guy looked like a samurai, and the auction items were usually swords or knives, so Old Wang wasn't interested.
Ji Tianzuo paused for a moment, then neatly arranged the pills in his hand on the table.
Hearing the crisp sound, Old Wang turned his head slightly and saw at least twenty or thirty bottles of pills. He couldn't help but sit up straight excitedly.
"Did you practice this?"
"No, this was made by my young lady. You set a price. Auction it all off."
Ji Tianzuo said in a deep voice.
Old Wang carefully opened the bottle and examined it meticulously.
There are some basic pills here, but most of them can only be refined by intermediate-level alchemists.
Is her young lady already an intermediate alchemist?
It should be noted that alchemists are scarce these days. Not to mention intermediate alchemists, even beginner alchemists are extremely rare. Most are at the entry level, and the pills they refine have virtually no effect.
Old Wang couldn't help but have a little scheme in his mind.
"I wonder if your young lady is a mid-level alchemist?" Old Wang speculated.
Ji Tianzuo frowned slightly: "If you don't want to take the picture, then I'll take it away."
After saying that, he made a gesture as if to take it.
Seeing this, Old Wang quickly reached out to protect the pill tightly, and said with a forced smile, "No, no, of course our auction house will accept this pill. But I wonder what your desired price is?"
Ji Tianzuo was silent for a moment.
He wasn't an alchemist, nor was he the kind of person who could easily afford pills. He hadn't studied these things in detail, which put him in a difficult position.
"I am only here on orders. My master is called Feng Jiutian."
Ji Tianzuo said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on Old Wang with a cold gaze.
Old Wang was startled upon hearing this.
How could he forget that name? That stunningly talented woman, the woman in his master's heart.
Back then, she intimidated the guards at the entrance with a single move; everyone in the auction house remembers that little devil.
Old Wang swallowed hard, his smile turning serious: "Are you Feng Jiutian's subordinate?"
Ji Tianzuo remained silent and placed the sword in his hand on the table.
A guard's sword is his life, and this action is the best proof of that.
Old Master Wang quickly beckoned over, summoning a guard to come over, and whispered instructions to him.
After saying that, the guard hurriedly left the room, while Old Wang looked directly at Ji Tianzuo and smiled, "Sir, please sit for a while. I need to report to my master."
Ji Tianzuo sheathed his sword and casually sat down to the side.
Although seemingly casual, both hands never leave the hilt of their swords, ready to draw them at any moment to face an attacking enemy.
Moreover, no matter how he moves, his attack range remains around the pills, completely protecting them.
This is a very vigilant swordsman.
Old Wang silently drew a conclusion in his mind and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
That woman is a psychopath, and her subordinates are no pushovers either.
Upon hearing the guard's report, Qianbian's expression changed, and he quickly put down what he was holding and left the auction house.
At the Royal Academy, the Seventh Prince was reading a book on the side of the training ground, while his classmates were training not far away.
A student suddenly walked towards the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince glanced sideways, his gaze calm.
"Master, Miss Feng has sent her men to the auction house to auction off elixirs..."
Qianbian explained the whole story in a low voice.
The seventh prince closed the book, a smile in his eyes.
"Let her do as she pleases, it's your job. Protect her people, don't let them get bullied," the Seventh Prince said calmly, his voice unconsciously carrying a hint of authority.
Qianbian nodded and walked outside without giving anything away.
This scene caught the attention of the students nearby, who exchanged glances and then looked away.
Although it was strange that the Seventh Prince had friends, it wasn't their business. Everyone was busy practicing and no one was interested in the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince raised his eyebrows, looked around at the people, then gazed into the distance, a smile playing on his lips.
His woman is now about to embark on a grand career; how could he not protect her?
A golden carp is no ordinary fish; she would never be confined to this small royal academy or this small imperial city.
The Seventh Prince always knew that Feng Jiutian's ambitions lay far beyond this; her ambitions were far greater than those of ordinary people.
Since that's the case, he'll lend her a hand.
Qianbian personally transformed into a guard and swiftly returned to the Shaoge Auction House, whispering his master's orders into Old Master Wang's ear.
Ji Tianzuo had been watching quietly from the side, but only glanced at Qianbian with some suspicion after she came in.
After Qianbian finished speaking, he withdrew, not daring to stay there any longer.
Ji Tianzuo's gaze was so sharp that he had a vague feeling of being seen through, even though he knew in his heart that this was absolutely impossible.
In fact, Ji Tianzuo did not notice anything different about Qianbian. He just felt that the guard's strength was different before he left and after he returned, which made him somewhat suspicious.
"How is it?" Ji Tianzuo asked in a deep voice, pulling himself out of his thoughts.
Seeing this, Old Wang smiled knowingly and said, "Since that's the case, how about this? The normal price for this pill is five hundred taels of gold for a basic one, so we'll set the price at six hundred taels of gold. Then the auction house will deduct our share and give you a card with the remaining auction proceeds. What do you think?"
Old Wang smiled obsequiously, his old eyes narrowed, as if afraid he might reveal his rare treasures.
You should know that this is the Royal Academy. All those pills and other medicines are sent directly to the Royal Academy. They even have their own alchemists who produce and sell their own medicines. This makes it very difficult for alchemists to be found in the city's auction houses. A bottle of high-grade pills is worth a fortune.
These pills themselves are not so important now, but the alchemist behind them is.
