Inside the star-picking pavilion, Sikong Xuan smiled as he removed the restriction on the storage ring and respectfully handed it to Lu Ming.
"In this auction, Young Master Gu, your five spirit gathering pills were sold for a total of 86,000 spirit stones."
"Five of your Foundation Establishment pills were sold for a total of 950,000 spirit stones."
"Your marrow cleansing pills were sold for a total of 1.5 million spirit stones. The three types of pills were sold for a total of 2.54 million spirit stones."
When these words came out of Sikong Xuan's mouth, his face was brimming with an incomparably brilliant smile.
Just the price of these three types of pills was already comparable to the price of the previous ten auctions.
He used this auction to completely stabilize his position as the pavilion master.
"In addition to the spiritual tools and talismans that you've bought from us, as well as the medicinal materials that you've asked us to prepare just now, there's still a total of 1,500,000 spirit stones."
At the same time, in order to store the huge amount of medicinal materials that Lu Ming had taken a fancy to, Sikong Xuan gave him another storage ring for this purpose.
Lu Ming took the storage ring and examined it, then put it back into his Heaven and Earth pouch.
"Hmm, what are your plans for the remaining pills?"
He gave the star-picking pavilion seven spirit gathering pills, eight marrow cleansing pills and ten Foundation Establishment pills.
The star-picking pavilion took fifteen pills for the auction. There should be ten pills left with them.
"Yes, Young Master Gu, How about this? We will auction these ten pills in batches."
"If possible, we can keep the spirit stones from the auction for you. In the future, no matter which star-picking pavilion you go to, they can hand over the spirit stones to you when you take out this jade token."
Sikong Xuan had previously informed the other party about the auction of the pills in batches.
"Of course, if it's not convenient, our star-picking pavilion will buy the spirit gathering pills at the price of 25,000 spirit stones each, the Foundation Establishment pills at the price of 150,000 spirit stones each and the marrow cleansing pill at the price of 200,000 spirit stones each."
"What do you think?"
Compared to the latter, there was no doubt that the former would allow Lu Ming to get more spirit stones.
However, he still resolutely refused the jade token and took the fourth storage ring given to him by the star-picking pavilion.
"Let's go with the second method."
Lu Ming took the storage ring from Sikong Xuan's hand and said at the same time.
As for the issue of cooperating with Sikong Xuan about refining pills, he had discussed it with the latter earlier on.
However, since he didn't agree to the seventh prince's request, so he naturally wouldn't agree to Sikong Xuan's request as well.
This was because he understood the logic of marketing.
The reason why he was able to sell the pills at such a sky-high price in one go was that the people had never seen a pill with a 100% completion rate on the market.
When Pill Peak officially refined the first batch of pills with a 90% completion rate, the price of his ultimate pills would be impacted.
Although it wouldn't drop drastically, it definitely wouldn't be as valuable as it was now.
This was also the reason why he chose to directly take the spirit stones from the star-picking pavilion instead of waiting for the subsequent auctions.
In the future, the pills on the Pill Peak would also be very effective, but the 90% completion rate pills, which were only a few times more expensive, would be the mainstream.
This could also be considered as taking care of his own business.
After all, half of his shares were in there.
"Alright, Pavilion Master Sikong, happy working together."
At this time, there were only two hours left before his disguise powder lose its effectiveness. Lu Ming did not plan to stay any longer and stood up to leave.
"Uh... it's getting late today. Why don't Young Master Gu leave tomorrow?"
"After tonight's feast, my little sister, Muxue, can help to relieve Young Master Gu's fatigue?"
Sikong Xuan naturally still had the intention to deepen their relationship.
"There's no need. In the future, I still have the opportunity to meet Pavilion Master Sikong."
Lu Ming shook his head, put away the folding fan and walked out of the room.
At the same time, he seemed to have thought of something as he looked at Sikong Xuan and said, "In addition, I prefer to be alone, do you understand?"
Seeing the cold gaze on him, Sikong Xuan, who had stayed in the star-picking pavilion for so long, immediately understood what the other party meant.
"I understand, I understand. The star-picking pavilion has always been honest and upright."
Considering that he had the Alchemy Master backing him, Sikong Xuan didn't have any other ill intentions.
He had actually thought of sending someone to follow Lu Ming just now.
Of course, this was definitely not to kill him and get back the spirit stones.
He wanted to use the excuse of protecting the other party to leave Green Mountain City safely to find out the other party's follow-up actions and his true identity.
After all, he was somewhat unwilling to let Lu Ming go without establishing a friendship with the latter. He was the one who helped him bring about a net profit of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in one night.
After that, the "Lord of the Rings", Lu Ming, left the star-picking pavilion with 2.6 million spirit stones, dozens of spiritual tools, hundreds of talismans and countless medicinal materials.
At this moment, dusk was getting darker on the streets of Green Mountain City.
The rain was still falling.
Lu Ming took out an umbrella-shaped spiritual tool from one of his storage rings and rode out of Green Mountain City on his horse with the umbrella in hand.
