The previous custor hasn't been sent away yet, and a new custor has already arrived.
The reason why these people co one after another is sothing everyone can probably guess, but just won't say openly.
"The Zhou Family Patriarch personally coming to my little shop imdiately makes it flourish! I assu Zhou Family Head is here for the elixir pills affair?"
Zhang Wang acts first to gain the upper hand, saying what the Zhou Family Patriarch intends to say.
"Indeed, Shopkeeper knows well. How many Purple Crystals for each of these elixir pills? I'll buy them all; you na the price."
The Family Head is different, speaking with a different tone. While others ask tentatively, so even plan to haggle, this person is truly generous. Not only does he let Zhang Wang set the price, but he also says he wants all the elixirs. This was the first ti Zhang Wang saw soone making such a grand demand.
"No way, a person just left who was here to buy the elixir pills too. Honestly, I'm a person of integrity, and my shop is trustworthy. What I've announced is that the elixir pills will be auctioned tomorrow—definitely leaving ten five-grade elixir pills, twenty three- and four-grade elixirs each, not a single pill less. Now, just because we have a good relationship, doesn't an I'll give you one in advance. Otherwise, how will my shop do business in the future? Zhou Family Head, you're a reasonable person, I believe you understand what I'm saying, right?"
No need to be polite with the Family Head, that's who Zhang Wang is. Ever since he followed Tang Rao, Zhang Wang speaks with much more confidence.
"Alright then, I know you're a person of principles. I'll only take five five-grade elixir pills. The rest, you can keep for auction, how about that?"
Taking half at once, how is this different from wanting ten at once just now?
"No way, Zhou Family Head, if you continue to be unreasonable, I'll have soone escort you out."
Zhang Wang's attitude is decisive. Zhou Family Head knows that since Zhang Wang dares to place all the elixir pills in the shop, he must have assured reasons. There's no way he'll get the pills today. Fortunately, the auction is tomorrow and he plans to spend more Purple Crystals then to compete for the five-grade elixir pills.
"Then I'll be on my way and we'll talk again tomorrow."
Zhou Family Patriarch isn't the first to be refused by him, he can take this blow.
"Alright, see you tomorrow then."
After sending off the Zhou Family Patriarch, Zhang Wang directly instructs the shop's helper to close the doors. From today till the auction starts tomorrow, he plans to decline further visits.
This auction will also be attended by Tang Rao, who, disguised, blends into the crowd and acts as a middleman.
For one, he can et many people. Secondly, for the colossal elixirs like four- and five-grade ones whose raw materials are hard to find, if the auction price is low, Tang Rao will help raise it, and it won't matter if no one buys it.
Zhang Wang is sharp. He recognized Tang Rao from the start and Tang Rao communicated with Zhang Wang through sound transmission, instructing him to act as if he knows nothing and to proceed with the original plan.
"Thank all of you for taking ti out of your busy schedules to attend the auction at my shop. This auction will only be for elixir pills: twenty three-grade pills, twenty four-grade pills, and ten five-grade pills. We will start with the three-grade pills."
He has only a short ti to sell all fifty elixirs. What does this an? Imdiate paynt and delivery, and once the goods are sold, he becos a wealthy man instantly, right?
"The first item: three-grade Youthful Appearance Pill! This is perfect for gifting your partner or lover. One pill extends life and strengthens the body, two make one eternally youthful, becoming an ageless legend. Starting price: one kilogram of Purple Crystal."
Zhang Wang employs his eloquence to begin the bidding for the elixir pills.
One kilogram of Purple Crystal?
A re three-grade elixir pill, does it have to be so expensive?
One kilogram can buy so many things; everyone here is shrewd enough to know that this price exceeds market rates.
As for the first elixir pill up for auction, Zhang Wang instructs soone to bring it forth, and whoever bids must take it.
"Everyone, take a good look. The ford pill pattern on this pill clearly identifies it as a superior pill. The dicinal effect of a three-grade pill at least rivals that of a typical four-grade pill."
Saying it's a three-grade pill makes one kilogram of Purple Crystal seem costly, but when considering its superior pill value, one kilogram doesn't seem expensive.
"I bid one thousand and two kilograms."
Zhang Wang hasn't even started soliciting bids and soone is already eager to break the ice with a bold offer.
"I bid one thousand and one hundred kilograms."
It's just the first elixir pill, yet the bids are so high; the competition for the following pills is unpredictable and could reach intense monts.
"One thousand and one hundred kilograms. Any higher bids? If not, it'll be sold."
The first elixir pill was sold quickly, the price of one thousand and one hundred kilograms of Purple Crystal being relatively high.
"The second item: three-grade Solid Essence Pill!"
Compared to the Youthful Appearance Pill, the Solid Essence Pill is even more useful.
"Starting price: one thousand five hundred kilograms of Immortal Stone!"
What, a sudden increase of five hundred kilograms?
The participants waiting for quotes are sowhat incredulous.
This makes the three-grade elixir pills expensive, while four-grade ones might reach astronomical prices and five-grade pills might be unaffordable.
"I'll take it for two thousand kilograms."
Adding five hundred kilograms directly is beyond that bidder's limit, and he was already considering giving up if necessary.
"Two thousand kilograms. Anyone going higher than two thousand kilograms?"
Tang Rao, sitting below, couldn't help but give Zhang Wang a thumbs-up.
Two thousand kilograms in one go—the Purple Crystal is indeed life to lower-tier gods, but for mid-tier or higher-level figures, it doesn't hold such significance.
They possess Purple Crystals, but value more the power they haven't yet attained.
Twenty three-grade pills, the minimum per pill is one kilogram, and the highest exceeds three kilograms; with the inco from pills alone, Tang Rao could live comfortably for life.
What he's worried about is, over ti, money accumulates while his prowess doesn't advance. Over ti, it's easy to grow insecure.
"Thank you for supporting my shop. Next are the four-grade elixir pills, and the prices are slightly steep, so please just bid within reason."
He openly states that his prices are high. What he's genuinely aware of is if the price is too low, Tang Rao will raise it, so there's no need for extra concern.
"The first item: four-grade Rejuvenation Pill."
What?
The first item is a four-grade Rejuvenation Pill?
The impact is indeed huge.
"Three thousand kilograms."
Zhang Wang opens with three thousand kilograms, doubling the market value.
"Four thousand kilograms."
A one thousand kilograms increase at once—is there anyone but Tang Rao who would bid such a figure?
"Four thousand kilograms? Is this person mad?"
Everyone stares at Tang Rao, as if they've seen a madman.
Increasing one thousand kilograms at once—that's how a boss operates.
But who is this who bid one thousand kilograms at once, whom they've never seen before?
"Four thousand kilograms, first call."
"Five thousand kilograms!"
