1882 Preferential Treatment 1
Well, on the surface, he appeared to be just a middle-aged man.
In the world of cultivation, individuals like Qianji from Piaomiao Pavilion could still maintain a youthful appearance despite being over 100 years old. This was largely due to their advanced cultivation and extended lifespans.
The Head of Haitian Market must be an incredibly advanced practitioner, likely with a considerable age. Gu Chaoyan found this intriguing but kept her amusement to herself.
The Hall Chief approached Gu Chaoyan with crossed fists and spoke politely, “Miss, while your Flying Pill is considered high-level, strictly speaking, it is categorized as a low-level pill. If one pill can be exchanged for 200,000 golden knives, then the bottle of ordinary pills can only be exchanged for 1,000 golden knives.”
Gu Chaoyan looked at Lingyun, unsure of what “Golden Sabre” referred to.
Lingyun refrained from offering her own perspective on whether the amount of golden knives was sufficient, as her judgment might be biased in favor of Elder Miss. Instead, she stated, “Elder Miss, the hostel costs 20 golden knives, and it’s 50 golden knives per night. Middle-grade pills typically range from 800 to 1,000 golden knives, but I’m not certain about the prices of high-grade pills.”
Gu Chaoyan decided to calculate it herself.
If one pill was worth 200,000 golden knives and she had five pills, then it amounted to 1,000,000 golden knives. If she could obtain 100 middle-grade pills in exchange, it would be a lucrative deal.
Observing Gu Chaoyan’s hesitation, the Head continued, “In reality, Haitian Auction House allows certain high-level items to be auctioned without requiring the golden blade. There are a few fixed items that fall under this category.”
As he spoke, he produced an authority token. “This is the gold token of Haitian Auction House. With this token, you will have unrestricted access throughout the auction house and receive special treatment. You may even enjoy priority in auctioning certain items. Those with the authority token also have their own exclusive seating area. The token holds various additional benefits, which you will e to know in due course, Lady.”
He proceeded to pay the 200,000 golden knives as per the rules.
He hoped that by acquiring the Flying Pill, Haitian could establish a continued partnership with Gu Chaoyan. He believed that she must possess even better pills.
That was why he broached the subject.
“No problem!” Gu Chaoyan responded straightforwardly.
In truth, the pill hadn’t posed much difficulty for her to create. It wasn’t a particularly challenging pill, and it was already sufficient for her to obtain the golden knives and the preferential treatment from Haitian.
“What is the lady’s name? Please provide it for our records,” the Head requested.
“Chaoyan,” Gu Chaoyan provided her name.
“I will take care of that now. Regarding the golden blade, Lady, would you like to have it directly or would you prefer it to be stored in an interspatial ring? If you choose the latter, I can provide you with an additional interspatial ring and place the golden blade inside,” the Head kindly proposed.
Ah, that was an observation he made.
He noticed that none of them possessed any interspatial rings. They were merely alchemists and not cultivators.
That explained his suggestion.
An interspatial ring?
Gu Chaoyan didn’t require one. She already had ample storage space at her disposal and could store anything she wished.
Lingyun appeared quite excited.
Gu Chaoyan inquired straightforwardly, “Do you know where I can purchase an interspatial ring?”
