Su Yun and Little Medical Fairy played for a while before he began to practice.
His Golden Fingers (a metaphor for a powerful advantage) had no direct method to enhance his cultivation, so hard work was his norm.
...
A night passed, and Su Yun took out his alchemy furnace to start refining pills.
Now that he had broken through to the Martial Master realm, many of his previous ideas could be put into practice.
If everything went smoothly, as he had planned, he would soon experience a wave of Epic-Level Enhancement.
This alchemy furnace was purchased when he was in the Beast Mountain Range.
When he left Wu Tan City to head to the Beast Mountain Range, he had only a few gold coins left.
After staying in the Beast Mountain Range for a while and selling some demon beast corpses and beast cores, he managed to gather enough gold coins to buy it from the Mittel Auction House.
It was just a Two-Orifice Cauldron.
A single penny can stump a hero.
Past hardships were best left unmentioned. From today on, he, Su Yun, would no longer be poor!
Su Yun took out all the herbal ingredients from the system space and placed them in the room.
All these ingredients were his harvest from the Beast Mountain Range, with some coming from the Unnamed Cave.
Su Yun took a deep breath; it was time to get to work.
In a blink of an eye, a week had passed, and Su Yun had already refined most of the herbal ingredients into pills, storing them in special jade bottles.
Most of these pills were of the first or second grade, with very few third-grade pills and none of the fourth grade.
After all, he had only stayed in the outer regions of the Beast Mountain Range, where the ingredients for higher-grade pills were scarce.
But it was enough.
The profit from these hundreds of pills was already quite substantial.
Su Yun took out the Snake-Skin Mask from his storage ring, fiddled with it on his face, and a slightly short middle-aged man appeared in the room.
After putting on the long robe of a Fourth-Rank Alchemist, Su Yun gave a few instructions to Little Medical Fairy and set off for the Mittel Auction House.
The Mittel Auction House belonged to the Mittel family, one of the three major families of the Jia Ma Empire.
These three major families were vastly different from the three major families of Wu Tan City, with each family having Martial King-level powerhouses.
The Mittel family was the wealthiest of the three major families.
In the original story, Ya Fei was a member of this family.
The Mittel Auction House was not far from his home, and it didn't take long for Su Yun to enter the auction house's main hall.
At this moment, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked up to Su Yun, his expression respectful.
"Noble guest, noble guest. Master Han Li, what can we assist you with at our Mittel Auction House?"
The middle-aged man's face was full of flattery.
Seven days had passed, and the news of a Fourth-Rank Alchemist being certified in Wu Tan City had already spread.
All the forces in Wu Tan City, big and small, with even a bit of strength, knew that a great master had come to their small place.
As one of the top forces in Wu Tan City, the Mittel Auction House, of course, received the news.
A Fourth-Rank Alchemist.
The middle-aged man's heart was burning with excitement. Such a status was not just a big deal in a poor place like Wu Tan City; even in the Imperial Capital, it was a high-ranking figure.
If I could represent the family to win over such a master, my promotion this year...
Thinking this, the middle-aged man's face bloomed into a radiant smile.
Su Yun was led into the VIP room by the middle-aged man.
Su Yun was not surprised. The special long robe of a Fourth-Rank Alchemist couldn't be faked, and he guessed that someone had already reported his arrival to the Mittel Auction House.
"I am here to sell some pills," Su Yun said, sipping his tea.
"I see." The middle-aged man nodded.
The middle-aged man was not surprised; it was quite normal for an alchemist to sell pills.
"How many do you want to sell? I need to have an idea."
Hearing this, Su Yun took out dozens of jade bottles from his storage ring.
These were all second and third-grade pills. As for the first-grade ones, although the Mittel Auction House would buy them, they were of a lower grade.
And he had other uses for them...
Seeing the numerous jade bottles on the table, the middle-aged man raised an eyebrow.
So many!
No wonder Master Han Li came to our Mittel Auction House.
In Wu Tan City, probably only they had the financial capability to buy all of these.
The middle-aged man, who was in charge here, naturally had a high level of discernment.
Although he couldn't identify the specific types of pills through the jade bottles, he could see that they were all second to third-grade pills.
The quantity was so large that even the three major families in Wu Tan City wouldn't be able to handle it.
The middle-aged man opened each jade bottle one by one, carefully identifying the types of pills.
Su Yun stood to the side, calmly drinking tea, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
Ya Fei wasn't here.
But after reviewing his past memories, he understood the situation.
Ya Fei was sent to Wu Tan City because of the passionate pursuit by Mu Zhan, the young master of the Mu Family, one of the three major families.
Their affair caused a big stir in the Imperial Capital, and both families lost face.
Ya Fei was sent to Wu Tan City to avoid the scandal, and Mu Zhan was sent to the military.
It was still about two or three years before that time, so it was normal not to see her.
It took the middle-aged man quite a while to count the dozens of jade bottles.
"Phew, Master Han Li, I have finished counting."
"Hmm."
Su Yun nodded, finally done.
"If you want to sell them through our auction house, we have two methods," the middle-aged man said.
"Please explain."
"The first is to auction your pills at our auction house.
After a period of promotion and setting a date, all the forces in Wu Tan City, big and small, will participate. This method will earn you more gold coins, but it will take longer."
Su Yun nodded.
His pills were too numerous for a single family in Wu Tan City to handle, but if all the forces in the city participated in the auction, he could still make a substantial profit.
The middle-aged man then explained the second method.
"The second is to sell your pills directly to our Mittel Auction House.
Our financial strength, I believe you know. Although this is just a branch, we can still handle your pills without difficulty."
At this point, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a bit smug.
Indeed, among the three major families in the Imperial Capital, the Mittel family was the wealthiest. The Mittel Auction House, backed by the Mittel family, certainly didn't lack gold coins.
"If you sell these pills to our auction house, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. We will buy them at a price higher than the market rate, although it will be less than a direct auction."
Su Yun nodded. The premium from an auction would be significantly higher, but as a Fourth-Rank Alchemist, he didn't care too much about the small difference in price.
If he chose an auction, he would have to promote it and ensure all the forces in Wu Tan City knew about it, and he didn't want to wait that long.
"Since the auction house is so sincere, I'll sell these pills to you," Su Yun said to the middle-aged man.
