Chapter 348: Closed Door Cultivation (2/2)
”Yes.” Xue Wei smiled and knew that he had finally taken Xue Wei to be a serious customer.
”Lead this gentleman and his friends to the seventh floor,” the clerk ordered a woman that was standing by his side, and her expression turned grave when she heard what floor they were going to.
One has to know that the seventh floor was the highest floor, where one could get their things appraised.
”Follow me.” the woman gestured for them to follow her, after which she started leading the way up the stairs.
Xue Wei was not the only one being led up and down the stairs. Many women were leading customers around, depending on what they needed.
When they reached the seventh floor, Xue Wei found that here was quiet and no other customers, only the staff were making their way around the floor.
The woman led them to a room, where they entered, only to find an elderly man seated within.
His hair and long beard was white, his eyes deep, and gave off a feeling of someone who had seen the vicissitudes of life.
He took one glance at Xue Wei, and then his eyes landed on the vial he held in his hand.
An eyebrow rose in surprise as he recognized the item that had been placed within the vial.
”You are here to auction off a two-colored Rainbow Pill?” the elderly man asked with a friendly voice.
”That, amongst other treasures,” Xue Wei admitted with a nod of his head.
”Llet me see.” The old man sounded excited as he rubbed his hands and looked at the things Xue Wei took out from his storage treasure.
”Ten thousand-year-old Lightning Bamboo!”
”Thunder Lily Leaves!”
”Corpse grass at least a few thousand years old!”
”Blood ginseng of tens of thousands of years!”
”Scorpion tailed Hyacinth!”
The more materials Xue Wei removed from his storage treasure, the more shocked the elderly man became.
All of these items were seen as real treasures, and even one of them were hard to come by, but Xue Wei had so many of them and all these different ones as well!
Although Xue Wei took these things out, they were not even a tenth of the total amount of herbs he had gotten. He took out two corpse blades of grass but kept fifty for himself. He took out three blood ginsengs and kept the other seventy for himself.
”Wonderful! Simply Wonderful!” The elderly man was so excited that he was trembling. He had initially thought that just the two-colored Rainbow Pill was a great harvest, but thisese many items were simply outstanding, e. Especially since their quality was this high.
”I want to put them all up for this month's auction,” Xue Wei said casually. He was not able to wait for a later auction, so he wanted to get them sold as soon as possible.
”Understood.” The elderly man had already guessed his identity, and knowing that he was going to enter the Ascended's Realm, he did not have a lot of time to waste, so he did not try to persuade him into selling them later.
Although they could not advertise as much as they wanted, and the prices would be somewhat lower than normal, but Xue Wei had already accepted this.
After appraising every single item, the value turned out to be worth as much as a second-rank family in the Demon Phoenix Continent. The elderly man could not help but sigh.
Not long after, they left the auction house, Xue Wei had a VIP badge in his storage treasure, and he had been given a booth specially prepared for him when he was coming to the auction a few days later.
After this, Xue Wei returned to shop for random materials across the entire town, and he did not stop before the sun had started to set in the sky.
”Let us return,” he said, quite satisfied with the items he had managed to get his hands on during the day.
As he returned to the room, he instantly found his cauldron and began refining medicinal pills.
While Xue Wei was busy refining pills, Bai Tianyi was busy creating inscriptions.
Xue Wei only had so much time a day, and he was not able to both refine pills and create inscriptions, and thus they split it up.
Bai Tianyi also was of a higher rank than Xue Wei, and when it came to creating inscriptions, one's spiritual energy truly mattered, so the higher the rank, the better the results of the inscriptions.
Like this, a couple of days went by. Xue Wei had been in closed-door cultivation where he had been entirely focused on creating and refining medicinal pills, and Bai Tianyi had inscribed one inscription after another.
”It is time for us to go to the auction,” was the first thing that Xue Wei said when he emerged from the room. He seemed as usual; his clothes were clean and neat, his expression normal. It was hard to imagine that this person had been the one who had been going mad refining for a few days.
Bai Tianyi was not as unruffled. He looked like a ghost, big circles were underneath his eyes, and his skin had turned somewhat pale.
They waited for Bai Tianyi to freshen up, and when he returned out from within the room, he no longer looked as pale, but the black circles underneath his eyes were not so easy to get rid of.
