Chapter 66: True Value (First Update)
At this moment, Ge Fan was carefully looking at the Ascension Powder, and the more he looked at it, the more perfect, flawless, noble, and simply a masterpiece it seemed!
"Mr. Ge Lao?" Yi Chi thought for a moment, but then saw Ge Fan looking at his own share of the Ascension Powder with an infatuated expression, and so he called out.
"Cough! Cough!" Lie Yu also pretended to cough while listening to the two being polite back and forth.
"Ah!" Ge Fan looked at Li Yuan with a puzzled expression, who was looking gloomy. He had just been deep in thought, but was interrupted by a sudden cough. Now, seeing Li Yuan's gloomy face, he couldn't help but feel puzzled too.
"Mr. Ge Lao?" Yi Chi looked at him like that and reminded again.
"Ah." Ge Fan only realized where he was after seeing Yi Chi, and that he had completely forgotten about the existence of others.
"Haha, but I'm afraid I've been rude." Ge Fan said with an embarrassed face.
"No big deal, Mr. Ge just said that this batch of Ascension Powder can be sold for a price higher than the ordinary one by 10%, is it true?" Yi Chi didn't mind Ge Fan's rudeness and instead thought that this was what a alchemist should look like. After all, an alchemist should have an obsessive attitude towards elixirs. Seeing a perfect elixir and reacting in such a way was normal. If he only cared about how much money the elixir could make or what kind of honor it would bring him, then he wouldn't be a qualified alchemist. Of course, Yi Chi wasn't an alchemist, so he just wanted to sell this Ascension Powder for a good price.
Ge Fan recovered from his embarrassment and said excitedly, "Yes, but if we sell it to a Dan-making master, I think we can get several times or even ten times the price. I think other Dan-making masters will be very interested in studying this upgraded elixir, oh, it's just too perfect."
After finishing speaking, another fierce gaze followed.
"Uh." Speechless, Yichi stared at Ge Fan, who had once again become engrossed in his research, but as for his response, it was apparently also somewhat beyond Yichi's expectations.
Its research value is much higher than its actual effect!
However, Yi Chi really couldn't think of anything worth researching about it. Even if the refinement was perfect, wouldn't it still be just an Ascension Powder? And it wouldn't turn into some kind of heaven-defying elixir either.
But here is where Yi Chi was wrong.
What Ge Fan said was not about how to refine the Xianyun San to such perfection, but rather how to refine all elixirs to such perfection. Since the Xianyun San can be refined to this perfect state, then other elixirs must also be able to be refined to this state. Therefore, they want to study what is different in the process of refining this Xianyun San compared to ordinary Xianyun San, or if there are any special materials around them.
Someone said, isn't Yi Chi right in front of us? He's already said it's his refined product, just ask Yi Chi! Why bother putting so much effort into researching that Dan medicine?
Now it's time to talk about some rules of the alchemists. Among them, there is one that says you can't casually ask other alchemists about their private matters related to alchemy, unless they voluntarily tell you. Of course, this excludes those alchemists with bad behavior, who wouldn't follow these stupid rules anyway.
However, it was clear that Ge Fan was a very upright alchemist, so he didn't ask Yi Chi, but instead studied the recipe for the Ascension Powder.
Yi Chi is now thinking about the price Ge Fan mentioned.
How many times? More than ten times?
This scared Yi Chi, even if the ordinary Ascension Powder could only be sold for one million gold, then several times or even ten times the price would be enough for Yi Chi to make a big profit, not to mention that he still had sixteen portions in his spatial ring.
However, a Dan-making master only needs to buy one copy, and it's estimated that only a few copies can be sold at that price. Yi Chi was still calm and not confused by the huge price, considering the rarity of Dan-making masters, maybe only two or three copies could be sold at that price, but anyway, Yi Chi made a profit.
"Exchange space production, is indeed a must-have masterpiece!"
He couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret before looking up at Li Yuan.
From the beginning until now, he hasn't spoken much, but it won't work anymore. Yichi still has something to ask him.
"May I ask?" Yi Chi looked at Li Yuan and said.
Li Ma, who had been slightly distracted by Ge Fan's condition, snapped back to attention and looked at Yi Chi, saying: "Sir, is there something you'd like to ask?"
Yi Chi smiled and said: "I don't know how much commission you guys take?"
Yi Chi's question was direct and directly asked the most critical question.
Yes, commission.
Others' auction houses will not auction for you for free. Basically, they all charge a certain percentage of commission fees, which vary in amount and are different from one another.
Li Yuan was also stunned by Yi Chi's direct question, and then he said very formally: "Originally, our Li Tian Auction House charges a fee of 10% as the handling fee. Of course, you will think it's a bit more, but in fact, any item that is sold through our Li Tian Auction House will be higher than its original value by about 30%. In fact, you are still making a profit."
After a pause, Li Yuan saw that Yi Chi had no objection and continued: "Of course, if you are willing to sell us this Ascension Powder, we will only charge 8% of the fee. Moreover, we will also buy it at the highest price that other Ascension Powders can be auctioned for. By the way, do you have any others?"
Yi Chi smiled and looked at Li Yuan, nodding his head to indicate that he still had something left. In his heart, he couldn't help but scold the old fox silently.
This generation doesn't know what kind of abacus Li Yu is playing with.
Isn't it just that you think your other Sublime Rejuvenation Dusts can't possibly be perfect quality, so when the time comes to auction them off, you'll only be able to sell them for an ordinary price? At that time, they'll be able to buy this perfect-quality Sublime Rejuvenation Dust from you at a cheap price.
Unfortunately, his abacus was miscalculated. He still had sixteen perfect-grade Ascension Powder, each of which was perfect.
"Hmph, you're a dead old fox, why haven't you died yet?" Yi Chi thought to himself with malice.
But Lishi Yuan did not know what was on Yiqi's mind. He was still rejoicing over the success of his own plan.
"This way, I can save even more money, hehe, my bonus will also be higher. Hmm... should I just pocket the difference?" Li Yu thought to himself, considering his own interests.
As for the idea of embezzling the money, Li Yuan finally gave up, not for any other reason, but because he was timid, and he was afraid of being caught. If he were to be caught, he would be in big trouble.
"Mr. Li, are we going to make a contract or something?" Yi Chi looked at Li Yuan's disgusting smile and couldn't help but suggest again, he had already thought of the expression on Li Yuan's face after they made a contract and he still had sixteen perfect ascension pellets left.
Li Yuan looked at Yi Chi, feeling more and more that this guy was cute, really what comes around goes around! Originally he wanted to propose whether or not to sign a contract, you know, under normal circumstances, their Li Tian Auction House would not sign contracts with the owners of the auction items, and the owners of the auction items wouldn't be worried either, who made your reputation like that? If you really want to sign one, then the money for the contract will have to come out of your own pocket.
It can be seen that the auction house is very arrogant, but when it comes to valuable auction items, a contract must still be signed, and the auction house provides the contract for free, without asking you for a single penny.
Now, Li Yuan also does not intend to accept Yi Chi's money.
He was overjoyed and ordered Li Yun to bring a copy of the contract, after which he couldn't help but think about his reward again, having fallen deeply in love with money.
Li Yun heard Li Yuan's order and glanced at Yi Chi with a hint of apology before going down to fetch the contract.
Even a one-sided Ge Fan didn't have it, let alone a small executor like Li Yu who only had the strength of a Dou Shi.
In the waiting process, Ge Fan completely ignored the two who had their own thoughts and studied the ascension powder by himself. Although he was not in his own alchemy room now and did not have any tools, just studying its color and flavor was enough for him to study for a long time.
And as for Yuan, let's just forget about this guy who is still in YY.
As for Yi Chi, he sat down again and started drinking the slightly cooled tea. However, it's not bad even if it's a bit cool.
As for Lie Yuan's thoughts, Yi Chi was very disdainful and highly suspicious of how he became the executive, and that glance from Lie Yun before she left with a hint of apology, Yi Chi also saw it, and couldn't help but have a great increase in good feelings towards this strange girl.
"Unexpectedly, Guai Guai Nü's heart is still quite good!" Yi Chi thought with a hint of a smile.
But anyway, Yi Chi still doesn't know her name until now, always calling her "Guai Guai Nu", which seems to be quite impolite.
"Turn back to ask, hehe, it's rare to meet an interesting person." Yi Chi couldn't help but think of his female classmates from his previous life when they were in school. Weren't they like this too? Every day, they would daydream, dreaming that their Prince Charming would come and take them away to a castle, where they would live happily ever after. Of course, there had to be some scoundrels who would appear to test the greatness of her Prince Charming.
Thinking of this, Yi Chi couldn't help but smile happily.
That smile was tinged with a hint of bitterness, who would have known that he also missed his hometown? Without leaving home, how can one know the sorrow and longing of being away from home?
