--"What good news do you have for me?" Tang Yin asked after ushering in the man who had sold him the house.
The man then nodded toward him.
--"Young Master, although it's not a big deal, I think it might interest you. The president wants to buy that cultivation technique from you and is offering 300,000 Spiritual Gold Coins for it, how about it? I would be handing you 150,000 Coins and the cost of the house would be charged." He said, and Tang Yin simply nodded.
This was a good thing.
The sooner he got the money, the better.
He didn't know how long he would last in this place, so he nodded firmly.
--"Haha, if the president is kind enough to buy it outright at that price, then of course I will gladly accept." Tang Yin replied, and the man then nodded as he gave a small sigh.
Then he quickly took out three money cards and passed them to Tang Yin.
--"Young Master, here are 150,000 spiritual gold coins. Also, this is a Card of our business..." He said as he handed him another card.
--"We not only handle construction issues, we are also one of the biggest auctioneers in the empire, so, if you have something to auction, don't hesitate to come to us. This card will give you a lot of benefits at that time. If you have interest, you can come in a week there will be an auction, and we will treat you like a VIP." Said the man with a smile, and Tang Yin looked at the card with interest.
'Auctions... I should go to these, but... Right now, I'd better refrain unless strictly necessary. It would be best to sell some things to understand the prices...' Tang Yin said to himself in his mind, considering a few things.
Because he had only been for a very short time in a city of this world, he had almost no information about anything, except that the prices in this city were higher than the prices in the previous city he was in.
That is normal since this city is many times larger than the other and is a center of trade in an empire as large as the Blizzard Empire.
But, outside of that, he knew nothing else, and that was a problem.
So, he immediately looked at the man.
--"I have some things to auction; can you auction Earth Grade Pills for Initial Ascension?" Tang Yin asked.
He had a large amount of ascension pills. These pills are very useful for any cultivator, although they are not for him.
The Initial Ascension Pill is a pill that can be used in the first 3 Cultivation Realms, with benefits in different measures, depending on which realm the cultivator is in.
For example, if there is a cultivator who is in the first Cultivation Realm, at any level other than 9, one, two, or three pills of these can help him/her to ascend one full level in the time it takes to process the pill. Basically, it is a pill made from materials with a lot of spiritual energy concentration, and that is why it can do that 'miracle'.
In the second realm, a cultivator needs 10 to 15 pills to ascend a full level. In the third realm needs more than 30. But this is a pill that can be used as many times as required by the cultivator and this is what makes it more valuable, well, also that it is a very difficult pill to make.
Now, the thing is that Tang Yin has no idea whether in this world these pills are used or not, and he has no idea whether they know how to control the remaining spiritual energy that can harm the cultivator who consumes them, so first, he needed some information about it.
Are 100 pills of these a large amount here? He doesn't know.
In his world, these pills are never used he knows of their existence, but he never uses them because they are useless. The first 3 Cultivation Realms are passed as if they are nothing, more so in a sect at the level of the Tang Yin Supreme Sect.
Although well, in the first two realms, they usually take some time to cross them because these are the 'Base' of a cultivator. That's also why they don't use these pills, they can't cross those two cultivation realms with external methods unless it's medicinal baths, etc.
But there are even many people in that place who don't even know about the existence of this pill.
That's why he has no idea whether such a pill is useful in this world.
Those were Tang Yin's thoughts.
Which, of course, were not the same thoughts of Huang Feifei and the man in front of him.
This man even stood up a little with a start.
--"Do you have Initial Ascension pills, Young Master!?" he shouted in shock, startling Tang Yin in the process.
But the man quickly realized his mistake and immediately covered his mouth and sat down, then proceeded to apologize to Tang Yin.
--"I'm sorry, Young Master... It's just, that those pills are too valuable." Said the man lowering his head.
Tang Yin then looked at him interestedly.
--"Don't you have alchemists who can make them?" Tang Yin asked curiously. He just wanted to find out how valuable these things were, but he couldn't ask directly.
Otherwise, this guy will get suspicious, he thought.
The man in front of him frowned slightly and lowered his voice.
--"It's not that we don't have them, there are several who can make them. But they go out to the market very little; between 1,000 and 5,000 of them are sold every year in different cities of the empire. Last year only 1,500 went on sale and this year there are barely 500. The young master must understand, in an empire with more than 500 million inhabitants, how could they be enough? We have more than 100,000 cultivators. It is impossible for them to be enough." He said with a helpless smile.
Tang Yin then understood and nodded toward him.
--"What's the price? Of a bottle of 10 pills?" Tang Yin asked.
This question already seemed to confirm to this man that Tang Yin had these pills, so he became excited.
If he could advertise more of these pills in this week's auction... They would surely make a ton of money.
--"Young Master, it is difficult to estimate a price, more so at this time when there are so many cultivators of that range of cultivation in the city, they would kill for those pills. But I can assure you that they can be sold at a price that will satisfy you." He replied, and Tang Yin then nodded.
He immediately took out 20 jade bottles with 10 pills each. These jade bottles were given by the system at the time gave him the pills, so they were kept very well preserved.
After that, he spoke.
--"They are 200 pills of the same grade, all 3-star pills. I will leave them to you and expect the money as soon as the auction is over. I can't participate at this time." Tang Yin said, and the man was surprised.
--"200 pills of the initial ascension? Is it really 200 pills?" He asked, and immediately grabbed one of the bottles and looked inside…
Tang Yin did not answer him, he let him see for himself.
The man was astonished as soon as he saw the pills inside, he looked at another bottle and then another and another... He continuously opened several more bottles and was surprised that they were really all those all-important pills.
'Shit... I think we have greatly underestimated it...' Thought the man at that moment, but it was no time to be surprised.
He immediately stood up, extremely happy, but at the same time very nervous, and bowed to Tang Yin.
--"Young master, I will make sure they are sold at the best price, thank you for trusting me!" Said the man firmly while bowing at 90 degrees.
Tang Yin just laughed.
--"Haha, I hope so. I will wait for your good news." Tang Yin said. This last he said to make it seem that he no longer wanted to have people in his house at this time, and the man in front of him, Lord Ku, nodded quickly understanding his intentions.
--"Of course, I will be on my way, young Master. If you need anything, drop in looking for me, Mr. Ku, where you always do. I will be sure to attend to you." He said and then quickly left.
He was so nervous that he almost fell down the stairs to the entrance, but as best he could he started to run in the direction of his work. This is something of utmost importance, and he must discuss it with his president.
Tang Yin on the other hand, just stood there next to Huang Feifei.
Although she was amazed that Tang Yin had those pills, she remembered Xie Meiyu and thought that she had given them to him, so she didn't bother to ask.
She didn't need to know all of Tang Yin's secrets, as long as he didn't do anything wrong to her and was with her, it was enough.
Tang Yin got up after he saw that Lord Ku had left and decided to take out everything he had bought.
A large number of spiritual herbs were laid out on the table, different kinds of herbs of many different ages and the like.
Huang Feifei was surprised to see that pile of expensive spiritual herbs and looked at him.
--"Young Master, what is that for? There are many Spiritual Herbs..." She said, and Tang Yin smiled at her.
--"They are for you. We will use them during this time to strengthen you to the limit so that when I leave, you will have no trouble at the academy." Tang Yin replied.
This surprised her even more.
--"So many herbs, for me? No need, young master. I just want you to teach me a little martial arts and how to control my inherited spiritual weapon, that's enough for me. This is too much money spent on me, it's going to waste." She said quickly while waving both hands in denial.
But Tang Yin only shrugged his shoulders.
--"I bought them for you and I'll use them on you. I can't use pills or herbs, but I assure you that we will use all these spiritual herbs on you, because only then can I get the most out of them." Tang Yin said firmly, and right after he said it, he spoke in his mind.
'Administrator, help me to make a training for Huang Feifei.' He said, and the Administrator immediately responded with a nod and started working.
Tang Yin also didn't let Huang Feifei continue to object and spoke first than her.
--"Tell me, how long do you have until the academy tests start?" Tang Yin asked, and she could only answer obediently, as she noticed that he didn't want her to reject this.
--"I applied and I was told that in a month the tryouts start for me, as I can skip the first phase and directly enter the second phase which is done at the Imperial Academy." She replied, and Tang Yin then nodded.
If he was right, the imperial academy was in the imperial capital, which is not too far from this city, and one month is more than enough to prepare Huang Feifei.
Because of that, he smiled.
--"Then that's enough." He said and then threw a cultivation technique at her.
--"I want you to study the first pages right now. As soon as you finish, consume these five pills and come to the courtyard, we will start the training today." Tang Yin said, and after leaving the five pills of the initial ascension on the table, he went to the courtyard directly.
If he stayed, she might find a way to object here and there, which was troublesome. So, he did things firmly to show her his determination.
She could then only watch helplessly as he left and could only accept what he said.
It was what she wanted anyway. So, she began to study the cultivation technique quickly.
