Chapter 41: I'll give you the elixir, accompany me for three days!
"Ya Fei, your method… it's not impossible," Xiao Cang pondered.
Ya Fei immediately showed a hint of joy. If she could secure this Dou Wang Dan for her family, even if she ultimately couldn't marry Xiao Cang and fulfill her family's mission, her family would still heavily cultivate her in the future.
Master Gu Ni on the side was also overjoyed. Once the auction house bought this pill, he would have more opportunities and time to examine this pill.
Observing a fifth-grade high-grade pill up close might allow his alchemy skills to advance further!
However, in the next moment, Xiao Cang changed the subject, "But Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni, how much do you think this Dou Wang Dan is worth?"
"This…"
Suddenly, Ya Fei and Gu Ni were stumped, and the smiles on their faces stiffened a bit.
Just now, both of them were shocked by the valuable value of the fifth-grade high-grade pill and wanted to buy it subconsciously.
But at this moment, when Xiao Cang asked them, they realized that a fifth-grade high-grade Dou Wang Dan… its value is immeasurable!
At least with their experience, they have never evaluated such a precious pill.
If they had to name a price, they might have to mortgage the entire auction house to Xiao Cang, which wouldn't even be worth half of the Dou Wang Dan.
To really want to buy this pill, at least the Miter family in the imperial capital would have to take action.
Seeing their expressions, Xiao Cang immediately showed a confident smile.
From the moment he walked into the Miter Auction House, every step was within his expectations.
The reason why he was willing to take out a fifth-grade pill was for two purposes.
The first was to directly show his strength and prove that his fifth-grade pharmacist status was real, not just a reputation.
The second was that he predicted that Ya Fei and Gu Ni would definitely not want this fifth-grade pill to circulate after seeing it, and they would have the idea of buying it.
But the volume of the auction house is not enough to buy this pill.
So next, it's time for him to set the conditions.
"Mr. Xiao Cang… this pill, I don't know how much it should be priced." In the end, Gu Ni shook his head, unable to give an exact price.
"Even Master Gu Ni can't be sure, let alone me. Little brother Xiao Cang, why don't you name a price?" Ya Fei showed a bitter smile.
"Let me say it?"
Xiao Cang's mouth curled up, and he took out the Dou Wang Dan to play with it casually in his palm, which made Gu Ni and Ya Fei's eyelids jump.
A fifth-grade pill, that's something they've never seen in their lives, but in Xiao Cang's hand, it's like an old man's favorite walnut, so careless?
"Two hundred thousand gold coins, how about it?" Xiao Cang casually said.
"How… how much?!"
"Two hundred thousand?!"
Ya Fei and Gu Ni were immediately dumbfounded. They looked at each other and saw the incredulity in each other's eyes. They even doubted if they had heard wrong.
"Xiao… Xiao Cang, you… you're not joking, are you?" Ya Fei's chest heaved, her charming eyes stared at Xiao Cang, and her breathing became much more rapid. This kind of flustered appearance made her even more charming.
"What, does sister Ya Fei think it's expensive? Or should I lower it a bit?" Xiao Cang teased.
"No, it's not expensive! It can't be lowered anymore!"
Ya Fei hurriedly waved her hand.
Where would she dare to think it's expensive?
Two hundred thousand gold coins may sound like a lot, but compared to a fifth-grade pill, the value is too different!
A good yellow-level high-grade martial technique is worth more than this price.
If measured by the pill, two hundred thousand can at most buy a low-quality third-grade pill, and even some high-grade second-grade pills with good effects and high refining difficulty can't be bought.
Now Xiao Cang actually wants to sell her a fifth-grade pill at this price?
She had a sense of unreality as if in a dream.
"Mr. Xiao Cang, are you really willing to sell the Dou Wang Dan to our auction house for two hundred thousand gold coins?"
Gu Ni asked uncertainly, he also had a sense of unreality. Two hundred thousand gold coins… usually some families ask him to refine pills, and they all have this number.
"Does Master Gu Ni think I will break my promise?" Xiao Cang teased.
"Of course not." Gu Ni hurriedly waved his hand, fearing to upset Xiao Cang.
"Then, little brother Xiao Cang must have other conditions, right?"
At this time, Ya Fei finally calmed down. After she calmed down and thought for a moment, she knew that there would be no pie falling from the sky. Xiao Cang was willing to sell them a fifth-grade pill at a low price, there must be other requirements.
"Sister Ya Fei is indeed smarter than others." Xiao Cang smiled and praised Ya Fei.
Ya Fei immediately gave him a look with hidden autumn waves.
"To buy this pill at a price of two hundred thousand, you two need to agree to two conditions." Xiao Cang held up two fingers and said lightly.
"What conditions? Mr. Xiao Cang, just say it." Gu Ni said seriously.
"First, in a few days, I will personally take action to rectify the various forces in Wu Tan City. From now on, there will be no three major families in Wu Tan City, only the Xiao family that dominates Wu Tan City."
"So, I hope that in the future, the Miter Auction House will become an ally of the Xiao family and help the Xiao family develop vigorously after I leave Wu Tan City. Of course, if the Xiao family flourishes in the future, they will naturally not forget the friendship of the Miter Auction House."
Xiao Cang slowly stated the first condition.
"Rectify the various forces?!"
Ya Fei and Gu Ni looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.
They had long expected that Xiao Cang, who had now advanced to Dou Wang, would definitely clear the other obstacles in Wu Tan City for the Xiao family and help the Xiao family grow and strengthen. They just didn't expect this day to come so soon.
"What does sister Ya Fei think?"
Xiao Cang looked at Ya Fei. He knew that although Ya Fei and Gu Ni were both in charge of this auction house, the real decision-making power was with Ya Fei, who came from the Miter family to practice, not Gu Ni.
"This point, there is no problem."
Ya Fei agreed without hesitation.
Even if Xiao Cang didn't say it, her family had already informed her early on that they wanted to make good relations with the Xiao family.
"So… what is the second requirement?" Ya Fei asked again.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cang's gaze swept over Ya Fei's chest and long legs, revealing a hint of a smile.
"The second condition… Sister Ya Fei, we haven't seen each other for many years. I hope you can accompany me to tour Wu Tan City for three days, to catch up on old times. What do you think?"
Ya Fei's body trembled slightly.
Tour for three days?
How could she not understand the true meaning of touring for three days?
Don't those wealthy and powerful family tycoons often spend a lot of money to invite beauties to go out and play for a few days?
But is the focus of this behavior on touring?
The focus is clearly…
Ya Fei thought of this and couldn't help but hesitate.
Although she was full of charm and enchanting, she was a real maiden.
If she goes out to play with Xiao Cang, will her reputation still be intact when she comes back?
But she thought of the task assigned to her by the family… This is a good opportunity to hug Xiao Cang's thigh, and it may be the only opportunity.
And if she could marry Xiao Cang, the benefits she could get in the future would be far more than a fifth-grade pill.
So, after her moment of struggle and melancholy, she finally nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I agree."
