Morning came and Lou King woke up. During the night, he tried several times and summoned two undead and fed them to the Ice Eagle, due to which the Ice Eagle reached the low level of the second level. If he wants to increase its level further, he will have to feed the Ice Eagle a second-level monster.
Lou King had done everything; now if he needs elixirs to increase his and Ba Ji's level, gold coins are needed for that. Therefore, Lou King decided to go to the auction house. Lou King left the hotel after eating and started walking towards the auction house; Ba Ji was also walking behind him.
The auction house is managed by the Metal Family, one of the three big families of the Gama Empire; therefore, no one would even think about doing anything against the Metal Family. Lou King slowly kept moving towards the auction house. As Lou King came closer to the Metal Auction House, a big building started appearing in front of him.
The building was very big, looking like a large tower. The building could be seen from far away. Lou King entered the building; he got to see several bodyguards whose power was of the Dou Zhe level, by which one could guess that the security of the Metal Auction House is very tight.
Lou King went into the Metal Auction House. After inquiring with several people, he reached in front of a room on whose door "Inspection Room" was written.
As soon as he went inside, the room was almost empty and only a middle-aged man was sitting there who was clearly looking bored. Hearing the sound of the door opening, that man raised his head and seeing Lou King and Ba Ji wearing black robes, his eyebrows narrowed a bit. But immediately the expression on his face changed into a professional smile.
"Sir, are you planning to have something inspected?"
"Yes." From under the black cloak, a dry and old voice came out slowly.
Lou King moved forward and placed the white jade bottle on the table in front of the middle-aged man.
"What is this?" Looking confused, the
middle-aged man carefully picked up the white jade bottle and smelled it. The expression on his face changed immediately, and when he looked towards the black-robed person, there was a sense of respect in his eyes: "Sir, are you an alchemist?"
"Yes." The old voice was heard again.
"May I ask which pill is in this bottle? What does it do?" Hearing that he was talking to an alchemist, the middle-aged man asked with even more respect.
"Foundation Elixir: It can increase the speed of Dou Qi training, but it is useful only for people below the Dou Zhe level."
"Oh? It can increase the speed of Dou Qi training?" Hearing Lou King's words, the middle-aged man's face changed. Everyone knew that Dou Qi training can only be done according to a set formula and since the Qi paths of individuals are especially weak at this stage, if the effect of the medicine is too strong, the Qi paths can burst and the person can die...
"My medicine has no side effects and its medicinal power is extremely peaceful, so there will be no such problem. You don't need to worry about this." As if he understood the thoughts in the middle-aged man's mind, that experienced voice explained calmly.
The expression on his face changing once again, the middle-aged man carefully placed the white jade bottle on the table in front of him and asked respectfully: "Sir, can you wait for a moment? I have to get this medicine inspected by our auction's Master Gu Ni!"
"Sure, hurry up." Waving his hand, Lou King did not show any formality and sat on a chair kept to one side. And Ba Ji stood behind him like some guard. Lou King had spent 60 soul points from his system shop and bought three level two pills and had come to the Metal Auction House to sell them.
That middle-aged man quickly nodded his head and left the room in a hurry.
After waiting for a while in the room, the middle-aged man returned with an elder wearing green robes and having light white hair. On the elder person's chest, there were no gold stars, but something like an alchemy furnace and on that furnace, two silver lines were shining grandly.
"Sir, this is our auction's Master Gu Ni. He is a 3-star Da Dou Shi! Also, he is a second-tier alchemist!" The middle-aged man respectfully introduced the new person.
The elder's face was red and although his green cloak looked simple, rays of light were coming out of it. Clearly, some kind of monster core was implanted in this cloak. On the elder's simple face was the arrogance always present, which is found in all alchemists.
While Lou King was inspecting Gu Ni, Gu Ni was also studying the person in front of him.
Alchemists were not like Dou Zhe and were in high demand by various powers. Therefore, while studying Lou King, Gu Ni was also trying to guess who that alchemist was.
That middle-aged man carefully picked up the jade bottle kept on the table and handed it over to Gu Ni...
Picking up the white jade bottle, Gu Ni first smelled its sweet fragrance while slightly closing his old eyes. As soon as the bottle was tilted slightly, a drop of green liquid slowly rolled from the mouth of the bottle and fell into the center of Gu Ni's palm.
Staring at the green liquid, Gu Ni took out a silver needle and a light flow of energy appeared on its tip. It went silently into the green liquid and slowly started stirring it...
With the movement of the needle, Gu Ni's calm face changed into a serious expression. After a few moments, he put the green liquid back into the jade bottle. When he looked at Lou King again, a sense of respect was reflecting on his arrogant face. Turning towards the middle-aged man, he said: "This medicine is of the second grade. Whatever was said before is all true!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man took a sigh of relief and looked at Lou King and smiled excitedly: "Sir, are you planning to auction this elixir?"
"Yes, can you auction it as soon as possible?" And here are two more second-level pills, in which one is a breakthrough pill that can help in breaking through into Dou Zhe and the other pill can increase energy; take these as well.
Gu Ni and the old man were surprised to hear Lou King's words but just nodded their heads. Gu Ni checked the pills and handed them to the old man.
"Hehe, no problem. Sir, take this and go to the auction hall first. Fortunately, an auction is going on there right now and your elixir will be auctioned immediately!" The middle-aged man smiled and handed a deep black colored metal card to you.
"Okay." Taking the metal card, Lou King immediately went out of the room without waiting.
"Master Gu Ni, is he really an alchemist?" Only after Lou King and Ba Ji disappeared from their sight, that middle-aged man said slowly to Gu Ni.
"Yes, he is an alchemist. His intense soul perception ability cannot be wrong..." Gu Ni nodded, but his eyebrows narrowed and he said muttering: "But where has he come from? I haven't heard of any alchemist in Wu Tan City who can make a second-grade pill. Only that black-cloaked alchemist who..."
"Should I do some research?"
Gu Ni shook his head and after stopping for a while, said: "Not now. All alchemists have a strange nature and if he finds out that you are trying to know about his past, his opinion about the auction will turn bad. It is never a wise move to invite enmity with a mysterious alchemist."
Turning back, Gu Ni said lightly: "To create his good opinion about our auction, you should know how to do it, right?"
"Hehe, I understand."
"Remember, even if we cannot become friends with him, we cannot offend him either.
Otherwise..." After saying some cold words, Gu Ni also left the room.
