Chapter 108: Xia Wanjin's Shock, Is This Mr. Lin Yan's Method?
At this moment, after successfully opening the Qiankun bag left by Lin Yan and carefully examining the quality and effects of the pills inside, Qin Lao's aged face couldn't help but show a strong sense of shock.
To be honest, after living for so many years, this was the first time he had seen pills with such astonishing effects.
The last time he saw pills with the best effects was also brought by Lin Yan.
But unlike the previous batch, the last batch of pills were merely third-grade pills.
But this time, Lin Yan directly sent a batch of fourth-grade pills over.
Therefore, after testing the efficacy of this batch of pills, Qin Lao truly felt dumbfounded.
He felt like he had opened his eyes and seen pills with such amazing effects for the first time.
At the same time, he felt quite shocked that Lin Yan would give such a large quantity of high-grade pills to Xuansu.
After all, if he could obtain one of these pills, it would already feel very precious. He never expected Lin Yan to give away such a large batch.
Thinking of this, his mouth twitched, and he stood in place, stunned. Finally, he squeezed out a sentence from his mouth.
"Mr. Lin Yan is truly remarkable, such generosity is truly terrifying!"
He didn't dare to waste too much time in one place.
After asking someone to watch his position, he immediately took the batch of gifts Lin Yan brought and hurried towards the office inside the Wanjin Auction House.
On the other side.
At this moment, in the office of the Wanjin Auction House, Xuansu, Xia Wanjin, and a steward were having a conversation, and the topic of their conversation happened to be Lin Yan.
"Xuansu, how has Lin Yan been recently?"
"Have there been any developments with the martial arts he asked you to pay attention to last time?"
At this moment, the three of them were drinking tea, with Xuansu sitting in the main seat pouring tea, and Xia Wanjin and another steward sitting on wooden chairs on both sides. Xuansu had just finished brewing a few cups of tea, and Xia Wanjin's voice soon rang out, asking Xuansu.
"Have some tea, Chairman Xia, have some tea, steward."
Xuansu first placed two cups of tea on the table in front of them. Seeing this, the two of them each returned a courteous gesture to her with their hands. Then Xuansu looked towards Xia Wanjin and smiled, saying, "Chairman Xia, everything has been taken care of."
"Recently, Lin Yan and the others have been practicing all the time. After all, they will have a duel with Wei Tong in a while, so they haven't had the time to do anything else."
"As for the martial arts he asked me to pay attention to before, I found them a few days ago. It's a second-rate martial art, and it probably cost five thousand Sun Yuan Pills. But I didn't let him pay, I gave him this martial art for free."
Xuansu reported her recent work to Xia Wanjin one sentence at a time.
And Xia Wanjin was quite satisfied with what he heard.
Smiling, he nodded at Xuansu and then said, "Hmm, well done."
Although he also heard Xuansu mention five thousand Sun Yuan Pills, for the Wanjin Auction House, they were not lacking in money.
Although these five thousand Sun Yuan Pills were valuable, they were still within their financial capacity.
Moreover, if they could use these five thousand Sun Yuan Pills to give Lin Yan a favor, then Xia Wanjin felt it was quite appropriate, after all, Lin Yan indeed had such qualifications.
Therefore, at this moment, after hearing Xuansu's report, Xia Wanjin smiled at her and affirmed her work.
"But, Supervisor Xuansu, Chairman Xia."
"Is it worth spending such a large sum of money?"
"These are five thousand Sun Yuan Pills, not a small amount."
"Although Lin Yan is strong, he is just a Martial Realm cultivator. Is it too much to pay so much for just a Martial Realm cultivator?"
However, the steward on the side had a different opinion. He felt that this money was indeed not a small amount, so giving it to Lin Yan for free felt like a loss.
So at this moment, he couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Xuansu and Xia Wanjin, tentatively asking.
"Manager Li, it's not like that."
"Although Lin Yan is just a Martial Realm cultivator, we should consider his age."
"Moreover, even if we put aside Lin Yan's strength, just his alchemy skills alone are worth more than this price."
"To be frank, although five thousand Sun Yuan Pills may seem expensive to us, it might not be the case for Lin Yan."
Xuansu smiled and shook her head, answering Manager Li.
But Manager Li frowned upon hearing this, obviously not entirely agreeing with Xuansu's words, believing that Lin Yan didn't have such power.
But at this moment, Qin Lao came in holding the Qiankun bag.
Just as he entered the room, Qin Lao noticed the three people who were discussing.
He had just heard their conversation, and he agreed more with Xuansu's opinion, after all, he had just seen Lin Yan's generosity.
However, he didn't dare to speak openly. After all, the three of them were all big shots, and he, obviously, didn't have the qualifications to say such things.
So at this moment, Qin Lao went straight to the point and stated his purpose, "Chairman Xia, Manager Xuansu, Manager Li, Mr. Lin Yan has brought a batch of gifts and asked me to give them to Manager Xuansu."
The three of them raised their eyebrows when they heard this. Xuansu, in particular, became quite curious and quickly approached Qin Lao, asking questions.
"Qin Lao, what did Lin Yan bring, and where is he?"
Qin Lao honestly answered, "Mr. Lin Yan brought a batch of pills, and after leaving the gift, he left."
Xuansu became more and more curious as she listened and quickly said to Qin Lao, "Qin Lao, take out the things inside and let's see."
Qin Lao nodded repeatedly and began to take out the pills one by one.
Soon, bottle after bottle filled the table.
Xia Wanjin, Xuansu, and Manager Li looked at Qin Lao's actions, and their gazes gradually changed from surprise to joy, and finally turned into profound shock.
Xia Wanjin couldn't help but ask Qin Lao, "Qin Lao, are these pills inside?"
Qin Lao nodded quickly, "Indeed, they are pills, and the quality is extremely high, with very strong effects! I've been appraising for many years and have seen many pills, but compared to this batch of pills, the previous ones are completely inferior!"
Xia Wanjin, Xuansu, and Manager Li couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this. After all, they were quite familiar with Qin Lao. He had been appraising for many years, and his eyesight was probably the strongest among them all because he constantly evaluated items.
But at this moment, even Qin Lao, with his keen eyesight, had such a high evaluation of the pills Lin Yan brought, and Lin Yan had given so many at once. This made them feel extremely shocked.
"Qin Lao, can you estimate how many Sun Yuan Pills these pills could be sold for at auction?"
Manager Li quickly stood up and asked the question he cared about the most.
After all, he wasn't an appraiser, so he didn't know the value of these pills. But if they could be measured in Sun Yuan Pills directly, he would probably be able to judge the value of this batch of pills.
Qin Lao pondered for a moment, stroking his beard, and then explained to the people in front of him after some thought.
"Mr. Lin Yan brought a batch of pills this time, and their effects are even stronger than the last batch."
"And he obviously saw the last auction, so this time, the pills he refined are also quite exquisite."
"There are specially made healing pills for injuries, pills that can replenish elemental energy during battles, pills that can increase speed for a short period, as well as pills that can enhance strength and elemental energy for a short period."
"When we sell them, we can divide these pills into batches according to their types and sell them one by one. Because of the special and functional nature of these pills, many people will have a demand for them."
At this point, Qin Lao finally began to estimate the price, saying to the people present.
"The starting bid for the last batch was one hundred Sun Yuan Pills per batch, divided into five batches for sale."
"For this batch, I estimate the starting bid can be set at five hundred Sun Yuan Pills per batch, also divided into five batches for sale."
"But this is only the starting bid after all. Considering that there have been frequent inquiries about the whereabouts of pills recently, it can be concluded that there is a great demand for these pills lately. When they are auctioned off at this time, they will definitely be fiercely competed for."
"So I estimate that the final auction price will be at least three times the starting bid."
"In other words, at the very least, this batch of pills can sell for seven thousand five hundred Sun Yuan Pills."
"If the competition is intense, the final price may be set at eight thousand or even nine thousand Sun Yuan Pills."
Qin Lao continued to estimate, and finally gave Manager Li, Xuansu, and Xia Wanjin a fair price.
The three of them were slightly stunned when they heard this.
Because they were quite clear that Qin Lao had been appraising for many years, and he had a good grasp of the market and the psychology of customers. So in this situation, Qin Lao's appraisal was mostly accurate.
Therefore, Xia Wanjin, Xuansu, and Manager Li became even more shocked.
Especially Manager Li among the three. He had been somewhat skeptical of Lin Yan's power before, whether it was really as great as Xuansu and Xia Wanjin said.
But now he no longer doubted it.
Looking at this batch of gifts in front of him, and after hearing Qin Lao's appraisal, he finally understood his own shortsightedness.
After all.
Mr. Lin Yan could even give away pills of such great value.
Then how great is his power, does it still need further explanation?
Unable to help but let out a bitter smile, feeling somewhat ashamed of his previous ignorant thoughts.
But afterwards, Manager Li became more open-minded and honestly apologized to Xia Wanjin and Xuansu.
He said:
"Chairman Xia, Manager Xuansu."
"Just now, I was indeed shortsighted."
"What you both said is true, Mr. Lin Yan does indeed possess such power!"
"He is indeed worthy of our full efforts to win over!"
