Chapter 94: A Symbol Master? Master Yan's Astonishment!
On the other side, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel quite shocked by the overall amount fetched by the medicinal pills he had consigned for sale.
When he heard that the fifth batch of pills had been sold for a high price of two hundred and fifty Yang Yuan Pills, even he couldn't help but stare in disbelief.
His mouth hung open, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is... one thousand Yang Yuan Pills?"
"Even after the Wanjin Auction House deducts their commission, we still made nine hundred Yang Yuan Pills from this sale?"
The more Lin Dong spoke, the more he felt it was surreal.
After all, their Lin family had spent several months and a lot of manpower just to earn fifty Yang Yuan Pills from their vein of Yang Yuan Stone.
But Lin Yan had sold nine hundred Yang Yuan Pills with just a simple batch of pills!
This earning speed was comparable to robbery!
"Brother Lin Yan, how much do you think it cost to produce this batch of pills?" Lin Dong couldn't help asking Lin Yan again.
After calculating for a moment, Lin Yan replied, "Less than ten Yang Yuan Pills, I suppose."
Lin Dong couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, and his shock grew even stronger.
"Less than ten Yang Yuan Pills in cost, and yet we made nine hundred! The profit margin is terrifying."
Lin Yan just shrugged at Lin Dong's reaction. "The cost is in the labor. After all, not everyone can refine these pills."
"If it weren't for alchemists, using these spiritual herbs for cooking wouldn't achieve the same effect. Even if they manage to extract some medicinal properties, it wouldn't be as effective."
"So, there's a reason for the high price."
"If they have the ability, let them refine the pills themselves."
He said nonchalantly.
As for Lin Dong, after hearing Lin Yan's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Indeed, Lin Yan was right.
But Lin Dong was still deeply impressed by the high profits of alchemists.
The two stayed in the auction house for a while longer, and finally, the auction came to an end.
After the auction, Lin Yan and Lin Dong went directly to the consignment counter.
They quickly received their deserved Yang Yuan Pills from the elderly attendant. However, during the counting process, Lin Yan unexpectedly found that their commission had been halved. In other words, the Wanjin Auction House had given them fifty extra Yang Yuan Pills.
This wasn't a small amount of money. After all the hard work their Lin family had put in for so long, they had only earned fifty Yang Yuan Pills. But now, the Wanjin Auction House had given Lin Yan so many extra. Besides marveling at the wealth and generosity of the auction house, Lin Yan couldn't help but wonder if they had some requests for them.
"Excuse me, did you make a mistake in the calculation?" Thinking of this, Lin Yan tentatively asked the elderly attendant.
The elderly attendant smiled and shook his head. "No, gentlemen. Actually, this was the idea of our Wanjin Auction House's Manager Su."
"She wants to make acquaintance with both of you, at least to meet you in person, so..."
After saying this, the elderly attendant smiled at Lin Yan and Lin Dong, waiting for their response.
In matters like this, Lin Dong naturally left the decision to Lin Yan.
After all, as the elder brother and the one who was mostly responsible for their affairs outside, Lin Dong usually listened to Lin Yan's opinions. Even if he had his own ideas, he would still seek Lin Yan's approval. So, he quickly looked at Lin Yan to see his opinion.
"In that case, please lead the way."
After a brief consideration, Lin Yan readily agreed.
If he remembered correctly, Su Xuan, the manager of the Wanjin Auction House, seemed to be a good woman. In the original work, Lin Dong had some acquaintance with her.
Moreover, to be honest, befriending her would be beneficial to the future development of the Lin family. The Lin family couldn't always stay in a small place like Qingyang Town. They needed to expand to higher places. If they wanted to develop in Flame City in the future, getting help from the Wanjin Auction House would be a significant advantage.
So, at this moment, Lin Yan agreed directly, responding to the elderly attendant.
"Please!"
The elderly attendant became very pleased upon hearing this. He immediately led the way, taking Lin Yan and Lin Dong to the private rooms area.
Lin Yan and Lin Dong soon entered one of the private rooms. Then, they directly saw Master Yan and Su Xuan, along with the previously seen aloof young woman.
Su Xuan appeared very enthusiastic when she saw Lin Yan and Lin Dong coming. After all, she judged that Lin Yan might become a target for her to befriend. So, when she saw Lin Yan coming, she quickly stepped forward, smiling at Lin Yan and Lin Dong, "Hello, gentlemen. I am Su Xuan, the manager of the Wanjin Auction House. I invited you here today to make acquaintance."
Lin Yan didn't pretend to be aloof either. Seeing Su Xuan's enthusiasm, he smiled back at her, "Manager Su, hello. I'm Lin Yan, and this is my younger brother, Lin Dong. Nice to meet you."
But he also didn't forget Master Yan sitting behind. When they entered just now, Lin Yan had noticed him. It was just that Su Xuan greeted him first because she had greeted Lin Yan first. Now that they had already met, Lin Yan naturally wanted to greet Master Yan.
So, Lin Yan quickly nodded at Master Yan, "Master Yan, long time no see. I didn't expect you to still be in such good spirits."
Master Yan obviously recognized Lin Yan at this moment. Seeing that the latter took the initiative to greet him, he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Young friend, long time no see!"
But after scanning Lin Yan and Lin Dong's bodies with his spiritual power, even he, Master Yan, began to show a considerable shock on his face.
"Hmm?"
"The spiritual powers of both of you... have actually become so powerful?"
"I suppose you have already successfully cultivated the first three layers of the Divine Movement Scripture that I gave you, haven't you?"
Lin Yan nodded in agreement with a smile.
"Yes, thank you for your gift back then."
Master Yan just waved his hand. "No need to thank me. I saw that you had a good affinity with me back then, which matched my temperament. Moreover, your talent is not bad, so I directly gave you the first three layers of the Divine Movement Scripture."
"But I didn't expect you to progress so fast. How long has it been?"
Thinking of this, Master Yan felt even more shocked. The love for the younger generation in his heart couldn't help but surge again, and he couldn't help but ask Lin Yan.
"Young friend, if I may ask, have you successfully condensed your life symbol?"
Lin Yan nodded with a smile.
"It's already successful."
Master Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
"Successful?"
Lin Yan nodded to Master Yan.
Then, after a brief eye contact with Lin Dong, the two even more powerful spiritual powers burst out from their bodies without reservation.
Feeling the two powerful spiritual powers emanating from them, even Master Yan's face began to show a more profound shock.
"A Symbol Master."
"Are you even close to reaching the realm of a Second Grade Symbol Master?"
"Young friend, the speed at which you are cultivating... is so astonishing?"
