Chapter 138: Chapter 103: Auction, Magic Item Appears_2
Translator: 549690339
It’s been almost a month, why have I not bought a new pill furnace?
Did I spend all my money?
No, I can afford buying a brand-new lower grade pill furnace, which only costs several hundred spirit stones, that’s it.
So why haven’t I?
“Time to collect the pills!”
Luo Chen set aside his distractions and opened the pill furnace.
Forty round, white Jade Marrow Pills came into view.
Ten of the lower grade, thirty of the medium grade.
Indeed, without reaching Grandmaster level proficiency, concealing my true skills isn’t an easy task.
Luo Chen sighed and then secretly packed away ten medium grade Jade
Marrow Pills.
“You guys come in and collect the pills!”
After calling out, two Pill Cultivation Experts walked in.
One held a tray, the other wore plain white gloves.
The gloved Pill Cultivation Expert, upon seeing the elixirs, couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
“The Hall Master’s Pill Refinement Technique has improved again, this time he even refined twenty medium grade Jade Marrow Pills!’
Luo Chen waved his hand, he didn’t like hearing such genuine flattery.
He was troubled about how to conceal his Pill Refinement skills.
Outside the Pill Room, Luo Chen thought of something and grabbed Sikong Shoujia as he passed by.
“Where’s my profit share from last month? Hasn’t it been delivered by the Merits Hall yet?”
I’m about to attend the auction, the more spirit stones I have, the better.
“No, they said the distribution would be delayed this month. It is the same for everyone.”
“Ah, it’s the middle of winter, I’m still waiting for spirit stones to buy rice for cooking.” Luo Chen lamented.
Sikong Shoujia rolled his eyes. Among all the people in Pill Hall, Luo Chen earned the most yet he still complained about being pitiful.
Only Luo Chen could casually make such shameless remarks.
“So how many spirit stones did the Allure Pills and Jade Marrow Pills sell for last month? Do you know?”
“I know that!”
Sikong Shoujia reported a number, Luo Chen calculated and roughly estimated that he should get around six hundred spirit stones.
The main source was still the Allure Pills.
However, when he made an additional calculation, something seemed off. “Last month we had plenty of medium grade Jade Marrow Pills, it shouldn’t have been so low, right?”
Luo Chen was furious, someone on the top is embezzling!
The embezzled spirit stones should have been mine!
In the Lower Grade Jade Marrow Pill Period, there’s no doubt that the Broken Mountain Gang was operating at a loss.
It’s undoubted, as the cost is there, and the lower grade pills can’t be sold at high prices.
However, during this period, Luo Chen really did refine hundreds of medium grade Jade Marrow Pills, and his proficiency had reached the perfection level. Although some of it was embezzled by him, just with the hundred he released, they should have sold for several thousand spirit stones.
I should receive a portion of these spirit stones.
But just now he roughly calculated, and those spirit stones were not included in the dividends.
“Who dares to embezzle, doing it on my account!”
Immediately, Luo Chen angrily went to find Mi Junping.
Upon arriving at the Merits Hall, not only did he see Mi Junping, he also saw Mi Shuhua.
“You’re talking about the revenue from the Jade Marrow Pills?”
Mi Shuhua was smiling as he pointed at the shelves opposite.
Luo Chen looked over and realized that the shelves were filled with the medium grade Jade Marrow Pills he had refined.
“Eh, they haven’t been sold?”
“Selling this mainstream cultivation pill is not that easy.
Not easy to sell?
How is that possible!
Luo Chen was very confident in his pill refinement technique.
Also, as the first experimenter of the medium grade Jade Marrow Pills, he knew that their effect is genuine, with no discounts.
“I originally underestimated, the profit of the lower grade Jade Marrow Pill is too low, we need to mainly push the medium grade Jade Marrow Pill in the future.”
“So, how to sell this pill, we have to plan for the long term.
Mi Shuhua said this but his expression seemed to have a trick up his sleeve.
Luo Chen pondered his words and suddenly thought of a key point.
Perhaps it’s not that the pills are unsellable, but someone is preventing them from being sold!
The most likely culprits are the Spirit Medicine Hall, which mainly operates in pills, and the Medicine King Sect behind them!
Regardless of what Luo Chen was thinking, Mi Shuhua smiled and said: “You return first, don’t worry about other things, just focus on refining pills.” “You’ll get your share of the profits, it won’t be shortchanged.” “Oh yes, the auction starts in two days’ time, the location is Luo Feng Mountain.”
The auction is about to be held, Luo Chen is going for the experience.
But that does not mean he doesn’t have his own ideas.
The auction in The Great River District is of two types.
One is the major auction held once every ten years, mainly for Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core cultivators.
The other is the minor auction held once a year, mainly for Qi Refinement Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
Normally the Dao Debate Platform that opened six months ago should have already held one.
But that was a special case, it didn’t cater to some cultivators who regularly participate in the auction.
Therefore, as per tradition, the minor auction for this year is still held at the beginning of winter.
Despite it being termed as a minor auction, considering the increasing number of rogue cultivators in The Great River District and the increasing number of nearby Immortal Cultivation Clans,
The actual scale is definitely not small.
So it’s likely that something Luo Chen needs might show up.
Preparing for a possible purchase, Luo Chen checked his wealth.
The results left him sighing.
I’m still poor!
Adding up all my assets, I only have fifteen hundred spirit stones.
With this number of spirit stones, it’s a stretch to even buy a beginner ascendant grade Magic Tool.
In fact, even before counting his wealth, Luo Chen was already prepared..
