Chapter 59 Showcases the Potion
Zhu Qi is the head of the Seven Luminaries Pavilion Auction House in City A. He is about fifty years old and has a pair of shrewd eyes.
Zhu Qi knew that the person in front of him was a well-known gang leader in City A. Black Dog was shrewd and resourceful. Although he couldn't make it big in this chaotic gray area, he wasn't going to be suppressed either.
"Please hand over the items that need to be appraised." Zhu Qi said with a professional smile.
He didn't mean to underestimate Black Dog, but as the person in charge of the auction house, he held a certain position and was someone that a small-time thug like Black Dog couldn't afford to offend. His words unconsciously carried a hint of command.
Although the black dog was not in a hurry, it still gestured to the fat man beside it.
The fat man hurriedly placed the box he was holding in his arms on the table and opened it, revealing three small vials of medicine inside.
Zhu Qi's eyes changed the moment he saw the medicine, but after a second look, the expression in his eyes began to turn into doubt.
"Sir, may I ask what this is...?"
Zhu Qi asked uncertainly. At first glance, he thought they were medicine, but upon closer inspection, the three liquids were clearly different from medicine.
The black dog smirked and arrogantly raised its chin: "Steward Zhu claims to be learned and knowledgeable, can't you tell what this is?"
Zhu Qi was pushed back. He squinted slightly and reached out to pick up a vial for testing.
This peculiar potion was only half the size of the recovery potion, and while the recovery potion was cloudy and unclear, this potion was a pale pink, crystal-clear liquid that looked quite beautiful.
After Zhu Qi examined it for a long time, the black dog spoke up seemingly generously: "This is a potent recovery potion, three times more effective than a regular recovery potion."
Zhu Qi was stunned. Three times the potency of the medicine—what did that even mean?!
When did the capital city develop this kind of medicine? How could he not know?
Or perhaps the man was simply talking nonsense and trying to fool people with three fake medicines?
The black dog shrugged helplessly: "Since Steward Zhu can't recognize this treasure, I'll have to show it to him myself. Could you lend me a knife?"
No one is allowed to carry weapons when entering or leaving the auction house, and Black Dog and his companions' knives were confiscated as soon as they entered.
Zhu Qi's sharp gaze fell on the black dog, as if trying to discern the truth or falsehood in his words.
After a moment, he instructed his subordinates to give the knife on his body to the black dog.
The black dog nonchalantly took the knife and, without blinking, slashed a large gash in its palm.
Under Zhu Qi's watchful eye, he took the vial that the madman had used, opened it, and poured half of it onto the wound.
A miraculous scene unfolded right before Zhu Qi's eyes.
He witnessed firsthand how the bleeding wound slowly healed after being doused with the liquid!
"impossible!!!"
Zhu Qi stood up excitedly, accidentally bumping his knee on the corner of the table in front of him. Ignoring the pain, he rushed closer to the black dog and stared intently at its palm, which was now completely healed and without a single scratch.
The black dog slowly put away the remaining potion; only one-third of the potion used for demonstration remained.
Actually, he didn't want to use such a wasteful method to demonstrate the medicine's effects, but it was the boss's order, so even though he was heartbroken about the wasted medicine, he still had to do it.
Just like the eldest brother said, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.
And seeing that arrogant Zhu Qi with such a shocked expression is incredibly satisfying!
The black dog secretly laughed to itself.
