Chapter 248: Supreme VIP Card!
Chapter 248: Supreme VIP Card!
The only explanation was that the strange guests had brought ancient pills. All of them were ancient pills!
A master of medicinal pill appraisal must also be an alchemist. Master Jing Xuan rarely had such a good opportunity to study ancient pills, so he naturally didn\'t dare to be careless.
After some time, Master Jing Xuan\'s chubby face filled with an expression of incredulity. He abruptly jumped up from his chair. "T-This is impossible! How could this be?"
It turned out that all the pills he just appraised were ancient medicinal pills that had been lost to time. The appearance of one or two varieties wouldn\'t be particularly astonishing, but the sudden appearance of twelve varieties was quite shocking!
His face, plump with fat, trembled uncontrollably. "May I ask... were these medicinal pills crafted by you two?"
Yan Cangtian shrugged, pointing to Ling Feng beside him before casually saying, "They were all made by this kid."
"A kid?" Master Jing Xuan\'s eyelids twitched. One of those figures in black robes is actually a youth?
"Alright, alright. Don\'t make a big deal out of it. So what if they are some ancient medicinal pills? I usually eat them like candy!"
Ling Feng\'s mouth twitched slightly. This old man really knows how to play it cool!
Yan Cangtian stepped forward, closed the jade box containing the medicinal pills, and sneered while saying, "Have you finished appraising them? How many crystal coins does the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce intend to exchange for our medicinal pills?"
"Uhh..." Master Jing Xuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
These are precious medicinal pills, and you treat them like candy?
Why don\'t you ascend to the heavens while you\'re at it!
"Hurry up, we\'re both waiting to attend the auction!" Yan Cangtian urged again.
"Please be patient, Master." Master Jing Xuan swallowed hard, wiping the sweat from his brow with a smile plastered on his face. "The medicinal pills refined by Master and this young friend are all ancient medicinal pills. While I can identify their general properties, these medicinal pills are exceedingly precious. Personally, I suggest that you both take them to auction."
Smiling, Master Jing Xuan added, "Based on my estimation, if all twelve medicinal pills were to be auctioned together, the starting price would be at least 300,000,000 crystal coins. If exchanged into elemental stones, they would be worth over 100,000 high-grade elemental stones. And I believe the final selling price will multiply several times. You would be losing out if you simply exchange them with our Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce."
"Hehe, are we lacking in funds?" Yan Cangtian sneered. "Just give us a reasonable price based on the value of these medicinal pills."
In truth, Yan Cangtian didn\'t care much about this small amount of money. He owned an entire medicinal herb garden and countless precious materials, not to mention tens of thousands of high-grade elemental stones, which he didn\'t even regard as important.
On the other hand, Ling Feng winced inwardly. But since Yan Cangtian provided all the alchemy materials, he had nothing to say.
The rich really don\'t understand the struggles of the poor!
"Very well. Since you esteemed guests have decided as such, then I thank you both." Master Jing Xuan\'s attitude suddenly became extremely respectful.
He doesn\'t even care about 100,000 high-grade elemental stones. This guy is truly rolling in wealth!
Soon, Master Jing Xuan issued a certificate and handed it to Yan Cangtian with a smile. "Just take this appraisal certificate to the finance department to exchange for crystal coins. I\'ll purchase these medicinal pills for 120,000 high-grade elemental stones. How does that sound, sir?"
120,000?" Yan Cangtian pursed his lips. "It\'s a bit low, but it\'ll do."
With that, he took the certificate and casually tossed it to Ling Feng, treating it as nothing more than a piece of scrap paper.
A piece of scrap paper worth 120,000 high-grade elemental stones!
"Thank you both." Master Jing Xuan personally escorted Yan Cangtian and Ling Feng to the door, even giving a deep bow. According to the rules of the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce, he would receive a substantial commission, leaving him gleeful.
Soon, guided by the young attendant, the two arrived at the finance department. After presenting the appraisal certificate and handing over the medicinal pills, they received 120,000 high-grade elemental stones. With this many stones, their success in tonight\'s auction for the Sword Enlightenment Stone was practically assured.
"Oh, esteemed guests, since your transaction exceeds 100,000,000 crystal coins, you are eligible for a Supreme VIP Card. This card offers a 30,000 high-grade elemental stone overdraft limit and a ten percent discount on all Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce industries."
The elegant female attendant behind the counter said with a charming smile.
"A Supreme VIP Card, eh." Yan Cangtian turned to Ling Feng. "Though it\'s not as good as my Supreme Black Diamond Card, it\'s close enough for you."
A hint of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the attendant. Fewer than fifty individuals in the entire Tianbai Empire, including the royal family, possessed the Supreme Black Diamond Card of the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce.
This mysterious old man is one of them?
The attendant\'s smile grew even brighter, and her voice became even sweeter. "Esteemed guest, please state your name, and I\'ll quickly assist you. It won\'t take much time."
"I\'m Ling Feng!"
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, not feeling the need to conceal his name. After all, the name Ling Feng was almost unheard of in the imperial capital.
"Ah, Mr. Ling, is it? Please wait a moment."
The attendant swiftly completed all the necessary paperwork in about ten breaths, and then handed Ling Feng a blue card with a gold trim.
The Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce had a special array to record all guest information and transactions, making it the largest information network in the empire.
However, its first iron rule was to never sell any customer data. Otherwise, few would dare to disclose their information with the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce.
"Alright, thank you."
Ling Feng accepted the Supreme VIP Card and carefully stowed it away in his storage spirit ring. Then, he followed Yan Cangtian towards the direction of the auction house.
When they arrived at the auction house, the entrance was already crowded with people.
Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce\'s auctions usually took place at night, approximately four times a month. Since most of the items auctioned were top-quality goods, each auction was almost always packed to capacity.
After showing his Supreme VIP Card, Ling Feng was quickly escorted to a VIP box by an attendant. Though not as luxurious as the top-tier VIP boxes, at least he wouldn\'t have to participate in the bidding frenzy in the crowded main hall.
