"Senior brother, may I ask why you came to our auction house?" A shrewd envoy, who was in his early twenties, revealed a friendly smile upon learning from Su Yu's clothes that he was from the Red Blood Palace.
When he saw that Su Yu looked old, he naturally addressed him as senior brother. He was completely unaware of Su Yu's true age.
Su Yu revealed a faint smile and said, "I have something that I want to sell in our faction's auction house. Junior brother, please lead the way."
"I see. Senior brother, please follow me." The envoy didn't neglect Su Yu. They were all members of the Red Blood Palace, so they should take care of each other.
When they reached the auction house's back hall, they found that it was similar to the Tianya Auction House. There was a long queue outside several heavily guarded secret rooms. They were all martial artists who had come to sell their goods, and they were all patiently waiting for the appraisers inside the secret rooms to appraise their goods.
However, compared to the Tianya Auction House, there were less than half of them.
The more famous an auction house was, the higher the price it could fetch for an item. The martial artists understood this, so they naturally knew how to choose.
In fact, many of them had tried to sell their goods in the Tianya Auction House, but they had been rejected. They had no choice but to bring their rejected items to the Red Blood Palace's auction house to try their luck.
This was the reason why the Red Blood Palace's auction house rarely got any good items. Instead, most of them were substandard items that weren't qualified enough.
The Red Blood Palace's auction house was quite helpless about this, but they couldn't do anything about it. If they were rejected, they would have even fewer items to choose from.
Su Yu waited quietly at the end of the queue, and it was only after an hour had passed that it was his turn.
After he entered the secret room, the stone door was immediately covered by a powerful seal, and the people outside couldn't see what was going on inside.
Su Yu didn't expect that there were two appraisers in the secret room, not just one.
They were both of the same age, and both of them were old men. They both had calm temperaments, and they didn't have the restlessness of the Tianya Auction House's appraisers.
When Su Yu entered the room, he saw that the two of them were chatting.
"I wonder if the other appraisal rooms got any good auction items. Our appraisal room didn't get anything today, so I hope that it won't affect the auction that will take place in three days."
"I hope so. Three days later, the Deputy General Manager will come for an inspection, and he will personally participate in the auction. If I don't have anything worthy to show, I will inevitably be reprimanded by the Deputy General Manager."
"If that's all, it would be fine, as it's impossible for an auction house to auction treasures all the time, and I believe that the Deputy General Manager won't vent his anger on our auction house because of this. But, the issue is that the Central Prefecture's factions' greatest demonic beast material store, restaurant, and elixir store consigned three top-notch treasures to our Red Blood Palace's Auction House. Even though they are from the Central Prefecture, and they obviously oppose our Red Blood Palace, they didn't send them to the greatest Tianya Auction House. Instead, they sent them to our Red Blood Palace's Auction House. This is why the Deputy General Manager decided to come here and participate in the auction in three days."
"That's right! Recently, the Central Prefecture's three factions have been suppressing our Central Prefecture's industries, and it's clear that they came to our auction house on purpose to show their power. I heard that the price and quality of those three items far surpass our Red Blood Palace's similar items. They probably want to use such a humiliating method to launch three brand new items in one go, so that they can further occupy the market."
"It's really a pity that our Red Blood Palace's resources are limited, and we can't compete with the Central Prefecture's vast land and abundant resources. We can't contend against them, and we can only hope to quickly get some good items to compete against them and offset their advantage."
"It's just three days, so how could it be so easy? Our Red Blood Palace's three industries' leading shopkeepers really don't live up to expectations! The restaurant and demonic beast material stores are still doing well, as they are all trying their best to find new goods in hopes of breaking out of this situation. But, I heard that the elixir store's Great Shopkeeper Fei had just been reprimanded by the Deputy General Manager, and he immediately held a meeting to squeeze the other small and middle-grade elixir stores. He didn't even think about how to contend against the Central Prefecture's elixir stores, and he just bullied his own people! It seems to me like our Red Blood Palace's elixir stores will be the first to fall. "
"This matter has already spread among the Red Blood Palace's elixir stores, and I have also heard about it. Great Shopkeeper Fei is just drinking poison to quench his thirst, and he will eventually harm the Red Blood Palace's elixir industry …"
The two men sighed, and it was only after a long while that they stopped talking about this topic and looked at Su Yu, who had just walked in.
When they discovered that the person who had just walked in was wearing a blue robe, which was the Red Blood Palace's uniform, their expressions became gentler, and they revealed a faint smile as they asked, "Are you a Red Blood Palace's disciple?"
Su Yu cupped his hands at them, then took out his identity badge and said, "Yes, I'm an outer sanctum's disciple, and I want to sell some items in our faction's auction house."
The two men took a look at Su Yu's identity badge, and after they ascertained that it wasn't fake, they became even more amiable. "Hehe, since you are our faction's disciple, we will surely appraise it carefully, but don't expect us to go easy on you."
Su Yu chuckled. "I don't dare, so please appraise it, seniors."
As he spoke, Su Yu took out a jade box, which contained the substandard Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid.
"A new type of elixir liquid?" The two men's eyes lit up. The Red Blood Palace's Auction House was in great need of good elixirs, which was why they attached great importance to such an item.
If they couldn't find a new type of elixir, then the Red Blood Palace's expression would surely become unsightly during the auction.
"That's right." Su Yu revealed a faint smile. As long as the two men weren't as arrogant as Thousand Hands Old Xian, they would surely discover the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid's amazing features.
The appraiser on the left side raised his head and revealed a faint smile as he asked, "Lad, did you hear some news? Is that why you brought this new type of elixir liquid?"
Any Red Blood Palace's member, who was slightly scheming, would try his best to obtain a new type of elixir liquid in order to compete with the new elixir liquid that would be released by the Central Prefecture's elixir stores in three days. Once they succeeded, they would surely get a great reward from the Red Blood Palace!
Su Yu shook his head blankly. "I don't know."
The two men were skeptical, but they didn't probe further. The appraiser on the left side said, "Let's appraise it one after another. I'll appraise it once, and he'll appraise it once. This is the only way we can ensure that a good treasure won't be missed due to the carelessness of an appraiser. If you are sure that you want us to appraise it, we can start now."
Su Yu nodded inwardly. Compared to the Tianya Auction House, the Red Blood Palace's Auction House was really more responsible.
"We can start now." Su Yu revealed a faint smile.
The two men nodded. The appraiser on the left side opened the jade box, and a refreshing fragrance assaulted his nostrils.
Su Yu was slightly surprised. "Refreshing?"
After he mulled it over for a moment, he took out a drop of the elixir liquid and appraised it carefully. After a long while, he said in surprise, "Well? Its main effect is to increase one's cultivation! It seems like its effects aren't bad, and it's on par with the best middle-grade spirit elixirs on the market. Not bad! It's a good item! "
He had a good opinion of this item, but a trace of disappointment flickered in the depths of his eyes. If he had taken it out before, it might have been able to attract some attention in the auction house. But, it wouldn't be able to compete with the new elixirs released by the Central Prefecture's elixir stores in the auction that would take place in three days.
The appraiser on the left side said regretfully, "My appraisal results are as follows. It's a middle-grade elixir liquid, and its medicinal power can increase one's cultivation. Its effects are above average, and its side effect is refreshing."
He then pushed the jade box toward the appraiser on the right side and said, "Old Yu, you appraise it."
In fact, his experience was greater than Old Yu's. Usually, Old Yu would appraise the items that he had appraised before, and there wouldn't be much difference between the two.
Old Yu would often appraise it in passing and go through the process.
However, this time, Old Yu was acting out of character, and he stared at the jade box thoughtfully. He didn't start appraising it even after a long while.
After hesitating for a long while, Old Yu spoke with uncertainty, "Old Sun, do you remember an ancient elixir recipe that you mentioned to me a month ago? It seems like its color and effects are somewhat similar. "
Old Sun was startled, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. When he glanced at the jade box again, his eyes flickered slightly. "Are you talking about the lost Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid?"
Old Yu shook his head. "I'm not sure, but it's somewhat similar. After all, it's something that disappeared in the ancient times. Although the elixir recipe might still exist, the Heartbroken Zither Grass is an extinct item, and it's impossible for it to be refined in this era."
Old Sun thought for a while, and then grabbed the jade box again. "Let's appraise it again! We can't let go of any possibility. This is the basic quality of an appraiser. "
As an appraiser, he had to be rigorous.
He started to appraise the elixir again, but this time, the scope of the appraisal was no longer the direction of improving one's cultivation. Instead, it was the refreshing fragrance.
This time, he made a bold move, and swallowed a drop of the elixir himself!
They dared to do this when they weren't sure whether the elixir was poisonous, which showed their professionalism.
As the elixir entered his body, pure energy seeped into his limbs and bones, and the Genuine Qi in his Dantian became even purer.
However, the effect didn't stop there.
At this moment, his soul felt a slight burning sensation. Old Sun's expression changed subconsciously, as he thought that it was something harmful. But then, his expression changed dramatically again, and he was overjoyed.
This was because he could clearly feel that after the elixir's power dissipated, his soul seemed to have become ethereal, and he could faintly feel that his soul had become stronger than before!
His body trembled slightly, and his face was full of ecstasy. His eyes were fixed on the jade box, and they shone with a bright light. "It can't be wrong! It's it! It's it! The ancient elixir liquid, the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid! It's purple, and it's in the form of liquid. It can improve one's cultivation, and most importantly, it can greatly enhance one's Soul Power if it's consumed over a long period of time! This, this is really the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid! "
Old Yu's expression changed greatly. "Really?"
While he was shocked, he also took out a drop and swallowed it. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, which were full of ecstasy and shock. "My Soul Power has improved! It's really the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid!"
As appraisers, they had seen countless treasures in their lives, and they had seen more than most Divine Masters. Their experience was unparalleled.
However, it was rare for them to be this excited and agitated.
This was because it was an ancient elixir that shouldn't exist in this world, and it was a top-grade spirit elixir that could improve one's soul!
Although it was only a middle-grade spirit elixir, and it was only effective for Fairy Realm experts, if news of it spread, even Divine Masters would go crazy for it.
Even if it could only increase a Divine Master's Soul Power by a small amount, it would still be worth it.
The two appraisers couldn't calm down even after a long while, and they couldn't help but look at Su Yu, their eyes shining brightly. "Do you know the name of this elixir liquid?"
Su Yu revealed a faint smile. "The Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid!"
After confirming that it was really the elixir, the two of them took a deep breath.
They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They knew that there would be a good show to watch at the auction in three days!
