Chapter 1093

(Unedited)

…

The night in Ogden town is bustling today as many travelers seemed to have visited the town all of a sudden. This in turn made the town's folks feel excited as the business owners saw this as an opportunity to be able to sell more of their wares.

At this time in a particular street in Ogden town, there is a 3 story tall building with a huge courtyard and beautifully designed architecture.

The building is very noticeable and is one of the most famous buildings in Ogden town.

At this moment, the area is filled with Ki fighter guards wearing dark red suits and armor. Each of the Ki fighter guards exudes the aura of the 3rd and 4th levels. With one looks one could tell that there is something very important happening inside the edifice that they are guarding.

This particular area of the street belongs to the Ogden Auction house.

Ogden Auction house is one of the most trusted places in Ogden town where one could sell or auction his wares. They are trusted by many because of their straightforward way of trading. The auction house has two centuries of history in its belt and is being backed by a powerful group from a particular city.

It is said that the main branch of the auction house is actually in the kingdom, and it is still called the Ogden Auction house.

Right now, the people dressed in their formal clothing are already pouring inside the auction house with wide smiles on their faces.

Each of the carriages that arrive in front of the auction house gate has emblems of the famous families in the town.

At this time, Xin Ja and Qing Joming are walking down the street while talking to each other. Both have removed their school uniform and are wearing their normal clothes while casually chatting on the road.

"Hey, look… There are many important people coming today. This is wonderful…" Qing Joming said while pointing at the auction house.

Seeing the number of people, Xin Ja suddenly felt like walking back to the academy. He did not want to be with this many people and he is already feeling a bit uncomfortable about it. But seeing the excited look on Qing Joming's eyes, he could not do anything and just followed behind.

"Umm… Can we really enter this place?" Xin Ja asked.

In fact, he knew that the things he made are going to be sold here. But his father is the one who is selling them not him, so he did not know if he could enter this place.

After hearing that question, a sly smile appears in Qin Joming's eyes.

"Hehe… Do you know that I've been working as an alchemist for the family and my cousin, right? So I've been to this place a couple of times… However, I'm sure I can enter but you… I'm not that sure at first. But from what I've seen in the exam, I knew that we can have a way to enter this place…" Qin Joming said while patting Xin Ja's shoulder.

"What… what do you mean?" Xin Ja asked feeling a bit confused.

"You've only given one of those pills to my master, right? And you still have the rest…"

Upon hearing that, Xin Ja subconsciously nodded his head.

"Good… follow me."

The two then walk towards the side of the large building where there are a lot of people carrying many different kinds of stuff. They are all lining up on the counters while showing what's inside the sacks and bags, they are carrying.

The two walk to a counter which says on the sign potions. This counter has not many people, and the one behind the counter seems to be feeling a bit sleepy.

"Hello…" Qing Joming greeted.

When the one behind the counter noticed the young man, his expression slightly changes. But a bored expression came back to the man behind the counter.

"What is it now, young alchemist Qing?" the man said as if he knew Qing Joming personally.

"Hey, Ki… what are you saying, I'm a proper customer you know…" Qing Joming said with a playful smile on his face.

"Yeah, right… I almost got kicked out last time you sold me some low-quality goods and wanted to pass it as medium quality. You still owe me for that you know…" the man named Ki replied.

"Oh… come on, we're friends aren't we?" Qing Joming said with a grin.

"Alright, what is it now…" Ki asked with a hint of annoyance.

"Hehe… I will show you a new product that you have never seen before…" Qing Joming said trying to make his tone mysterious.

"Yeah, right… Show it to me, don't waste my time…"

Qing Joming shifted his gaze at Xin Ja and nodded his head. Xin Ja sighs as he takes out a small bottle filled with around 5 pills. In the test this morning, he was able to create ten pills in total. He is very lucky that he was able to do so on his first try because he did not skimp on using his absolute sense. Though it caused him some headaches, yet the result is still satisfying.

"These are called… alchemical pills…" Xin Ja said as he heard the people call it that.

When the man heard this, his expression changes and he quickly sits up straight. Although he did not know if what this young man is telling him is correct, however, he knew that the young man is a customer.

Xin Ja handed the pill bottle.

"Hmm… What kind of pill is this?" Ki asked.

"It's a healing pill. One pill is equal to one bottle of potion." Xin Ja said.

Upon hearing this, the expression of Ki turned into that of someone who just heard something unbelievable.

Potions are effective in saving the lives of adventurers, travelers, and mercenaries. This is the reason why many buy them even in bulk. However, a bottle of potion is a bit cumbersome to carry and some could only carry too much.

But if what the young man is telling him is the truth, then that means this single bottle contains five potions in total. What kind of concept is that?

Some of the people who are near them actually heard this and some of them immediately walk near. Upon seeing the small bottle and thumbnail-sized pills inside, an expression of yearning and desire could immediately be seen in their eyes.

"Hey, kid… what is the quality of the… pills inside that bottle?" a person suddenly asked.

A slightly crafty smile appears on Qing Joming's face. He faces the people behind him and then his expression changes.

"They are mid-quality pills… But I'm sorry… We only have this for now. And we wanted to auction it…" he said while showing an awkward look on his face.

When Ki heard this, his eyes went wide in excitement. He could almost immediately understand what this friend of his wanted to do. Of course, as someone who always has dealt with customers, Ki would always grab this chance to enter the auction.

There is still an hour before the auction would start, so he could still add this item up.

"You two follow me…" Ki suddenly said as he walks to the side and opens the counter.

Qin Joming excitedly grabs Xin Ja's shoulder and the three then walk inside followed by some envious gazes.

Knock! Knock!

Ki knocks on one of the doors with the plate manager written on the sign.

"Who is it?" a deep voice coming from inside asked.

"It's me, Hou Ki… I have something to show you, Manager Gao." He said.

"Come in…"

As the door opens, Xin Ja saw a lavishly decorated room filled with nicely crafted furniture and decorations.

"Manager Gao… You should look at this." Ki said while putting the pill bottle on the table.

When Manager Gao saw the pill bottle, his brows scrunched.

"These are mid-grade quality healing pills," Ki said with a smile.

When Manager Gao saw this, his eyes immediately showed a surprised look. He then shifted his gaze to the two behind Hou Ki as he tried to scrutinize them.

He immediately recognizes Qing Joming as he has seen him before in the auction house. But the timid-looking young man is someone who is not familiar. But upon seeing the pill bottle on the table something suddenly came to his mind. 

"Hmm… Let me guess, you wanted this auctioned, right?" Manager Gao asked with a pleasant smile while looking at Xin Ja.

Seeing that the man is looking at him, he nodded his head a bit timidly.

"I do not need to appraise this, I think I can trust you…" Manager Gao said with a wink and a mysterious smile.

"Alright, this is a good addition to the items we are auctioning tonight. Haha… Why do I feel that I am having a lucky day today?" Manager Gao said with a chuckle.

"Hou Ki, get the data and give them a bronze card… Prepare this for auction…" he commanded.

Hou Ki nodded and led the two outside. He then processed everything and led the two inside the public seat of the auction house.

"Hey, good luck!" Hou Ki said as he left.
