When Ye Lingyue came downstairs, she received some pleasant news. The association finally agreed to buy the Ye family’s dark iron of 60% purity.
For the first time in many years, the association recognized the Ye family’s dark iron.
“That’s great. I will write a letter to Father when I get back. This time, our Ye family can finally hold our heads high.” Ye Huangxuan’s excitement flushed his face.
“Fifth Uncle, the money the association is paying is 20% lower than that from other chambers of commerce. Isn’t this a money-losing business?” Ye Sheng was not happy when he heard the price.
These 60% dark irons took the Ye family a lot of effort to make.
“Silly boy, getting the recognition of the association is more important than money. As long as we become the supplier of the association, we can enjoy a 20% discount whenever we buy weapons and pills from them. You won’t think much about it for now, but when the time comes that you’ve reached Postnatal or Connate level, you will know the function of the weapons and pills of the Alchemist Association,” Ye Huangxuan said as they walked out of the association.
Seeing that Ye Huangxuan was happy, Ye Lingyue said that she wanted to walk around the city alone and buy some gifts for the sisters at home.
Ye Huangxuan did not think much about it and went back to the mansion with Ye Sheng.
Ye Lingyue wandered around the street, selected some specialty products and rogue powder, and inquired about the location of Extraordinary House—the largest chamber of commerce in the city.
Fifth Uncle said earlier on that the Alchemist Association only provided finished pills and weapons. If anyone wanted to buy herbs in bulk or sell their pills, they had to go to Extraordinary House.
Different from the calm and quiet atmosphere at the Alchemist Association, the Extraordinary House was located on the most prosperous commercial avenue, surrounded by carriages and horses. There were all kinds of people there.
“I want to buy these medicinal herbs. Does the Extraordinary House sell them?” As soon as Ye Lingyue entered the door, she handed the attendant a list.
There were no less than 40 kinds of medicinal herbs written on it.
At the sight of those medicinal herbs, the attendant looked at who it was and saw a beautiful female customer.
But looking at those medicinal herbs on Ye Lingyue’s list, he found that they were not ordinary herbs. They were all poisonous insects and herbs, and the amount she was buying was pricey. It was hard to link the two together.
“Don’t tell me that the Extraordinary House doesn’t have such medicinal herbs?” Seeing that the attendant was not speaking, Ye Lingyue felt dissatisfied.
“Miss, to be honest, we have common herbs in Extraordinary House. But we don’t have the kinds of medicinal herbs you want, especially the eggs of Agkistrodon Acutus.” It troubled the attendant.
“What if I’m willing to pay a high price for it?” Ye Lingyue took out several golden leaves with one hand and threw it over.
Who didn’t love golden leaves? Thinking about it, the attendant finally thought of an idea.
“Miss, we don’t have Agkistrodon Acutus eggs. However, at the Treasure Hall of the Extraordinary House, there will be a small treasure gathering taking place today. Someone will sell a batch of Agkistrodon Acutus eggs for sure.”
Treasure Hall was a major feature of Extraordinary House.
As long as the goods were valuable, one could sell them in the Treasure Hall of Extraordinary House.
Extraordinary House provided the venue and did not ask for the origin of the items. However, after the transaction of the items, those who took part in the event will pay a 10% handling fee to Extraordinary House. They would then keep all the information about the customers a secret.
Other than consignment sales, Treasure Hall also provided treasure authentication service. Confirming the authenticity of the treasure, they would impose a 10% handling fee. Whether or not the customers wanted to sell, it depended on the guests’ wishes.
Hearing the attendant words, it moved Ye Lingyue’s heart. She had an item that she wanted to check its authenticity.
The mysterious stone she had gotten from the Ye family’s martial arts tower was still unknown.
Although Ye Lingyue had used the cauldron to check the internal structure of the stone, the cauldron breath could not refine that piece of stone.
She did not want to send the stone to the Alchemist Association. Perhaps the Treasure Hall could help her.
After thinking about it, Ye Lingyue took out the mysterious stone, then some Dark Yin Pills she had refined and handed it to Extraordinary House. After that, they took her to the Treasure Hall on the fifth level of Extraordinary House.
Treasure Hall was a hall of a few thousand square meters in size. Superior fur carpets and red jade corals from the southern seas decorated the place.
When Ye Lingyue entered, fifty to sixty people had already filled the place, some of whom were old and some were young.
Besides the customers, Ye Lingyue also felt several cold elementary forces scattered around the Treasure Hall.
That aura was not inferior to that of Ye Gu and Song Wanshi. It seemed that there were many masters in this building.
Ye Lingyue chose a seat to sit down and there happened to be a woman in red beside her. She was about twenty years old. She had almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks and looked very beautiful.
The woman in red nodded at Ye Lingyue when she saw her. There was still 15 minutes before the treasure gathering would start, so they talked to each other.
“Is this your first visit to Extraordinary House?” The woman in red could not but feel curious the moment she saw that Ye Lingyue was young and had no elders accompanying her.
“I just came to Glass City and heard that there are many wonderful things in Extraordinary House, so I came to have a look,” Ye Lingyue replied.
“Then you came to the right place. The things in Extraordinary House are very good. And if Sister has enough money, this hall has many wonderful things to buy.” The woman in red was very knowledgeable and explained the situation in Glass City in a few words.
Just then, a manager of Extraordinary House came out of the hall.
“Everyone, welcome to the Treasure Authentication Conference. In the first half, guests have placed 23 items in the Treasure Hall on consignment. Each item is marked with a base price and interested guests can bid at will. Every one bid will be increased by 100 taels.”
The manager showed several items up for selling according to the number.
The first item was the Dark Yin Pills that Ye Lingyue had taken out at will.
Ye Lingyue was not clear about the specific value of these Dark Yin Pills. She had many Dark Yin ores on hand and had improved her refining skills, which would mean that the quality and quantity of the refined Dark Yin Pills had greatly improved, too.
Other than her and her mother’s use, there were more than enough so she took it out to see how much she could sell them for.
Seeing that they had brought up Dark Yin Pills, the guests were slightly angry. Although Dark Yin Pills were second-grade pills, it was not an uncommon item in the market. In the Alchemist Association, one pill costs 200 taels of silver.
“The first item is five Dark Yin Pills. Those who are breaking through to Postnatal level or are already Postnatal martial arts practitioners should pay attention. Don’t underestimate these Dark Yin Pills. They differ from those of the Alchemist Association. They are all Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pills,” Having seen the guest’s snarky attitude, the shopkeeper calmly picked up one pill and said.
