“Is there any problem?”
Qin Xuan asked calmly.
Hearing this, the old man quickly shook his head at Qin Xuan.
“No, no problem, not at all.”
The old man held the porcelain bottle tremblingly, sweat already beading on his forehead.
This was a Five-Rank Pill.
“You, hurry out and invite Lin Master over!”
The maid, who had been standing by, ready to watch a show, immediately changed her expression and rushed out to find someone.
“Oh dear, that was truly presumptuous. Young Master, please take a seat. I’ll immediately have someone bring you tea.”
Lin Master’s face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, already full of smiles.
Several maids hurried in, serving Qin Xuan tea and water.
“You have no sense! Why aren’t you serving good tea quickly!”
Lin Master scolded, directly dismissing the maids.
“Initially disrespectful, then overly polite. It’s laughable to think about,” Han Ye said to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan, however, didn't mind.
Such things were too common.
After all, not everyone could refine Five-Rank Pills like Qin Xuan.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan sat up straight and looked at the other party.
“No worries, tea is secondary. Please help me appraise and estimate the value, Great Master.”
His main purpose here was for the auction, not for tea.
“Good, easy to say. Young Master, don’t rush. There’s still some time until the auction, so there’s plenty of time.”
Qin Xuan nodded slightly.
As long as it didn’t delay his entry into the auction, it was fine.
After a while, an old man with white hair and beard walked in hurriedly from outside.
“Little Lin, what’s going on? You can’t even appraise a Medicinal Pill yourself and need an old man like me to personally identify it?”
The old man strode over.
Lin Master, who was beside him, quickly handed the porcelain bottle to the other party.
“Elder Li, it’s not that I can’t appraise it. It’s just that this Medicinal Pill is truly extraordinary, and I don’t dare to draw conclusions lightly, so I asked you, an elder, to come and take a look.”
This Great Master Li took the porcelain bottle and merely glanced at it before his expression immediately changed.
Then he sniffed the Medicinal Pill’s fragrance wafting out.
“This is a Li Fire Shattering Profound Pill! Unbelievable! A Five-Rank Pill, this is truly valuable!”
Elder Li said with certainty.
Upon hearing that this item was real, Lin Master’s gaze towards Qin Xuan changed.
“Young Master, we were truly presumptuous just now.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan didn’t say much, just nodded slightly.
He had refined this Medicinal Pill himself, so of course, he knew best whether there was any problem with it.
“Alright then, since there’s no problem with this item, please estimate a price for this Li Fire Shattering Profound Pill. Let that price be the starting bid.”
Putting down his teacup, Qin Xuan then looked at the two of them.
“Oh, so Young Master is sure you don’t want to sell this item to our auction house? Our auction house will definitely give Young Master a satisfactory price.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan’s heart stirred, and he pondered slightly.
However, after a moment, he still shook his head.
“Forget it, after auctioning this Medicinal Pill, I still need to auction other items here, so it’s best to exchange for more Spirit Stones.”
Hearing that Qin Xuan was unwilling, both of them felt a little regretful, but they didn’t say much in the end.
Soon, the two of them gave Qin Xuan a reserve price.
“The starting bid is three million High-Grade Spirit Stones, which converts to three thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Each bid increment must not be less than one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones. Does Young Master accept this starting bid?”
According to the rules of the Da Qian Auction House, if an item goes unsold, it must be sold to the auction house at the reserve price. Therefore, the reasonableness of the reserve price needed to be discussed with the seller.
“Yes, I have no objections!”
Qin Xuan was very confident in the Medicinal Pill he refined; it was absolutely impossible for it to go unsold.
“This is Young Master’s identity token. After the auction ends, Young Master can bring this token here to collect the settled Spirit Stones.”
Lin Master and Great Master Li looked at Qin Xuan enthusiastically, both speaking to him.
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow, didn’t say much, and nodded as he took the token.
“Alright, Young Master, the auction will begin in two quarters of an hour. You two, take the Young Master to the lounge over there to rest. We have things prepared by our auction house there…”
Hearing the two Great Masters say this, two maids immediately stepped forward, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Qin Xuan, almost wanting to throw themselves onto him.
It was merely a crude charm spell.
Although there was a hint of charm, it was nothing special, so Qin Xuan didn’t take it too seriously and waved his hand.
“No need, just take me directly to the auction house. I want to calm my mind.”
Hearing that Qin Xuan actually refused the idea of being served by maids, the two old men were a little surprised.
Qin Xuan was not old, he was at the age when young men admire beauty, so he should have been easily moved.
But he was completely unmoved by it.
This surprised both of them.
“Then we won’t force Young Master. You two, take Young Master to the auction house. Remember, take him directly to a private room, don’t take him to those ordinary seats.”
Hearing this, the two maids quickly nodded, then looked at Qin Xuan with charming smiles, wanting to lead him away.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly and followed them.
“How is it? Can you tell which Five-Rank Alchemist’s work this is?”
After Qin Xuan left, Great Master Li, who had been smiling, pondered for a moment and looked at the other person.
“I can’t tell. The quality of this Medicinal Pill is truly too excellent. None of the Five-Rank Alchemists in our Da Qian can reach this level.”
“The Medicinal Pills refined by those Alchemists generally have flaws, but this person’s Medicinal Pill is different; it’s completely flawless. In my opinion, unless one has been immersed in the Dao of alchemy for a hundred years, it’s absolutely impossible to refine it.”
After Lin Master finished speaking, Great Master Li beside him also nodded.
“This means that this young man might have a very powerful Five-Rank Alchemist behind him. Not only is his Dao of alchemy formidable, but his strength might also be considerable.”
“Indeed, in my opinion, we should try to win this person over. If we can win him over to our royal family’s side, it will be easy to handle.”
“After all, this is a Five-Rank Alchemist; his value is extraordinary, and he is very worth winning over.”
