Air cars are the easiest transportation in this world. Unlike air trains and land trains that require one to go to a specific train station, air cars can be hired from anywhere, and can travel anywhere.
After two hours of driving, the air taxi landed at the main parking lot. Yan Yixuan paid for the fare with his card before heading inside.
Although there were still thirty minutes before the auction, the place was already packed with people.
With such a large gathering, the atmosphere here was extremely lively.
As soon as Yan Yixuan stepped foot into the hall, he quickly made his way over to the reception area. The items being auctioned today were all on display in the reception area.
Yan Yixuan browse through the list of items listed for auction:
[Dewdrop Pearls, Gold Silk Clothing level 9 defensive formation, Gold rank Pearls, thousand spirits emerald and so on....] These were all top and rare items.
The marrow of a 360yr old Waruku he came from was listed as the 37th on the list of rare items. And the starting price was 200,000 dollars. Yan Yixuan narrowed his eyes slightly; this is expensive.'
He knows the starting price was just a drop in the bucket. The bidding price would go through the roof once everything starts and he wouldn't be able to afford it at that time.
He opened his account and checked the balance: $2,000,000!
Yan Yixuan sighs helplessly. Since he left the Yan family, he wasn't in good condition and couldn't overwork. Now, with a hefty sum of money in his hand, he knew he wouldn't be able to get the product even if he bid.
He needs another solution and he needs it quickly.
30 minutes later, the auction finally started. The first product, 'Dewdrop Pearls' was sold for 2 million. Yan Yixuan grasped at the price, that's all of his current savings. After two hours, the auction had only sold ten times.
This slow progress makes Yan Yixuan worried. He looked at the monitor and saw the babies were giving the midwife a hard time. Yan Yixuan couldn't sit still anymore and went through the back door.
The back door of the auction is where people place personal requests so they won't have to bid.
The manager of the auction was currently talking to one of his employees: "The name that the general mentioned appears on screen?"
"No sir, that person might not come."
The manager frowns loosened up a bit: "That's good. It's better if he won't be coming. Just in case, keep an eye out. We can't afford to offend the general."
The employee nods: "Understood sir," then he goes back to work.
The manager sighed softly. This whole day was stressful for him. They announced the auction late because they didn't want outside forces to use their influence and pressure them.
Unfortunately, a few hours ago, the Special Forces general of the defence border called him and said if a person with the name mentioned appears at the auction, he should sell him at any price. Even if the person offered a lower price.
Although the general promised to pay the rest, the manager was still dissatisfied with his method. After all, the auction wasn't all about things being sold out, rather, they needed a good reputation.
Therefore, the manager was hoping that the person mentioned by the general won't come.
Knock knock, someone knocked on the door. The manager furrowed his brows and went to open the door. He sees an unknown person standing by the door. He was wearing casual clothes but his looks were truly extraordinary.
"May I ask your business?" the manager asked in a polite tone and politely asked: "How may I help you?"
"I'm here to request a personal order." Yan Yixuan calmly states.
"I'm sorry sir, we don't take personal orders on the day of an auction. You'd need to book the place beforehand." The manager explained apologetically.
"But the item I want is still far on the list and I'm afraid I can't wait that long. Is there no other way?"
The manager paused for a moment and was hesitant to give in, he suddenly thought about something and frowned: "Can I know your name?"
"My name is Yan Yixuan. I don't have a criminal record."
Isn't this the name that the general mentioned? What he feared still happened. The manager wanted to cry but had no tears.
He couldn't refuse the offer. After thinking carefully, he decided to get down to business: "What items do you want?"
"I want 3 sets of the marrow of a 360yr old Waruku." Yan Yixuan says without hesitation.
Just this? The manager sighs in relief.
"The starting price of the Waruku marrow is 200,000. Three sets would be 600,000. If it were to be put out for bid, we expected 3 million or 2.5 million. How much do you have?" the manager asked cautiously.
Yan Yixuan shook his head: "I don't have that much. At must, I can give 800,000"
The manager looked at Yan Yixuan with disapproval : "Sir, I know your financial situation isn't very good right now but three sets of bone marrow of a 360yr old Waruku that is sold at 2.5 million is already cheap. I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."
Hearing the manager's refusal, Yan Yixuan replied: "The 800,000 I mention is just in credit. I'll pay the remainder as an exchange." As he spoke, he took out a 3 ten inch bottle from his storage rink: "This is the seven level heart demon potion. If it were to be sold online, I would sell it for one million each. What do you think?"
As soon as the potion bottle was taken out, the manager's eyes were drawn to it immediately. This bottle is definitely worth at least 1.5 million. And some people would pay way above the average just to get their hands on it.
Heart demon potion is the most popular potion to this day. There are many practitioners and many cultivation methods, therefore they are easily possessed and tortured by heart demons. Many alchemists are able to make a heart demon potion but not many can make level 6 and 7.
Level 6 and 7 heart demon potions are extremely difficult to make. It has little to do with cultivation ranked and alchemy level. To make it, it takes incredibly high positive thoughts and goodwill because a slight negative mood or weak will, will cause the potion to fail. Not to mention the amount of rare herbs that are needed to concoct the potion.
The manager's eyes were shining with starry stars. He looked at the crystal clear bottles of sky blue potion in Yan Yixuan's hands: "Sure, it'll be enough to pay for it. Sir, Mr. Yan, do you have any more heart-demon potions? I want to buy it from you."
The table was turned so quickly and now it was the manager's turn to beg. In the end, Yan Yixuan ended up selling 5 potions to the manager for 2 million each.
Not only did he not spend his 2 million, he earned another ten million which boosted up his account.
The manager quickly put away the potions as if Yan Yixuan might change his mind later. With trembling hands, he added new items to the auction display list. *Level 7 heart demon potion* starting price, 1.5 million.
The addition of this new item caused a huge uproar within the venue.
One minute after the potion was put on the list, the manager started receiving phone calls one after another from big shots requesting the sale.
The manager was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear. He even forgot about Yan Yixuan who was waiting at the side. Only after all the potions were booked did the manager finally remember and look at Yan Yixuan with a smile: "Mr. Yan, what else can I do for you?"
"You haven't given me the Waruku marrow yet." Yan Yixuan calmly says, his voice low and cold making the temperature drop.
"Ah..." the manager was speechless as well when he heard this. Then he hurriedly called up a member of the auction staff and told him to get the product.
When the guy returns, he hands the package marrow to Yan Yixuan. After making sure that everything was alright, he took his leave.
