Alex slowly handed the bottles to the lady and said, "Here are the pills. These 3 bottles have 12 Qi improving pills in total. This one has 5 Swift Feet pills., this one has 4 Qi Enhancing pills, and this last one has 2 Face-changing pills."
The woman took the pills and opened the cork to look at the pills inside. As soon as she opened it, an amazing dicinal sll wafted out of the bottle, making the entire room sll like it.
She was stunned. She quickly looked inside the bottle hoping for sothing good based on the slls, and when she actually saw them, her jaw nearly dropped.
Every single one of the pills inside was definitely in the Earth grade. She quickly brought out a pill tester and put the pills in one at a ti.
The numbers she got from them ranged from 24% to 36% harmony. She quickly kept the pills back into the pill bottles so as to not lose any of their effects.
She looked back at Alex and asked, "Are you sure you want to sell these?" she had rarely seen such high harmony levels from the pills brought into the auction in a while.
Most alchemists were the aloof kind. They thought of themselves as sobody very important, which they were, but it made working with them nearly impossible. Most of them had horrible personalities from their overinflated ego, and also take an exorbitant amount of money for their work.
Or at least that was the impression she had gotten from the few rogue alchemists that had co to sell their works.
Alchemists from the Hong Wu sect rarely sold to auctions, and this was the first ti she had personally dealt with one herself. Her impression of alchemists was slowly changing.
Alex nodded to her question and told her he wanted to sell everything. She quickly tallied the items and gave him a rough estimate of 80 common spirit stones post deduction. She told him how the auction house took 10% of the money the item was sold for.
After confirming the items being sold, she took Alex through one of the rooms through the many doors. Inside, she picked up one of the many talismans laid out on the ground.
She wrote down everything he was selling on the talisman and imprinted it with her Qi.
"This will be our contract to make sure neither of the parties make any wrong attempts to harm the other party," she said as he handed it to Alex.
After everything was done, Alex left the auction house. The entire way back to the sect there was one thing that he kept thinking about but couldn't co up with an answer to.
'How does selling my items in a normal auction house reach the other players? Do they co to the auction house to buy as well? Or can they buy it from wherever they are?'
This was the first ti he had sold anything, and from what he learned on the internet, it just told him to go and auction it in any auction house.
He scanned the talisman in his bag and thought, 'So her na was Cai Ping huh. Wonder why she didn't introduce herself normally.'
Well, he hadn't introduced himself either, so he didn't think about it for too long. After reaching the sect, he logged out to check about the auctions.
It didn't take him long to learn how auctions worked in Eternal Cultivation.
'Wait. So my items won't get sold to the other players but the NPCs?' that was quite an unexpected piece of knowledge he had learned.
'Hmm… so how do Deva corporation make money at all?' he was confused. If players could sell in-ga items to NPC and make money off of them, then the company should have gone bankrupt by now.
He researched a bit longer, and only then did he find out that players could convert the money in their banks to in-ga currency. Of which, Deva Corporation took 10% charge.
Similarly, they also took 10% commission off what you converted back to real-world money.
'So they do what they can to take your money, and also do what they can to not give you your money,' he found it quite funny.
'Oh, that's right. Let's see what the conversion rate for the in-ga currency is. Hopefully, I can make a few bucks with the items I'm selling.' He quickly searched up the current conversion rate for the ga.
When he finally found it, he was shocked.
'That can't be right,' he looked at it again on a different site, but it showed the sa result.
'Huh?? How can it be 10 dollars per common spirit stone?? Doesn't that an I make uhh… 720 dollars after the deduction from the 80 spirits stones I will get?' he was truly flabbergasted.
He was expecting to make so 20~ dollars at best. But to think his items were valued at such a high price.
'They did say pills and artifacts sold the highest, didn't they?' he thought to himself.
After learning he could make quite a few amounts of money, his eagerness to practice alchemy and make more pills got reinvigorated. He tried to look at what prices which pills were being sold so he could make those exact pills, but unfortunately, the public had no information on most pills.
Regretfully, Alex closed his phone and went to go get his dinner along with Logan, Matt, and Eric. He was looking forward to getting back into the ga, so he finished his dinner very fast and had to wait for the other 3 to complete.
Once he returned back to his room, he imdiately logged back into the ga to make so more pills. But then he rembered, He had work to do now that was assigned to him by his master.
