"Are elixirs that popular?" Qiao Chu asked as he put on his shoes, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Of course! Under the Heavens, there are only a handful of clans that are capable of producing good elixirs. Ever since the Qing Yun Clan disappeared, the supply of elixirs on the market has dwindled. The other clans that were once suppressed by the Qing Yun Clan, and were renowned for their elixirs, have risen in popularity. Even the prices of elixirs sold in ordinary medicine shops have doubled. "The young man saw that Qiao Chu was interested in listening and he began to speak.
The Qing Yun Clan may have been a place of corruption, but it was a huge clan, and the amount of elixirs they were able to produce every month was massive. Not to mention the elixirs produced by the Elders of the twelve peaks, just the amount of elixirs produced by the Inner House disciples was a staggering amount.
The quality of the elixirs might not be considered top quality, but they were much better than the herbs sold in ordinary medicine shops. And the Qing Yun Clan's reputation as the most powerful clan in the Heavens, made the supply of elixirs in the Qing Yun Clan unable to meet the demand.
With the disappearance of the Qing Yun Clan, there was a huge gap in the supply of elixirs.
Not only had the supply of top quality elixirs dwindled, even the lower grade elixirs had shrunk.
The lack of supply of elixirs had made people pay more attention to the purchase of elixirs.
Many of the sects that refined elixirs had already formed an alliance with the major forces. The elixirs refined by them were given priority to the forces that had formed an alliance with them. Only the excess and the lower quality elixirs were taken out for sale.
Besides the clans, there were also some highly skilled elixir concocters, but they were either backed by powerful families or had been roped in by the major powers, and the amount of elixirs they were able to put up for sale was even smaller.
Anyone who was highly skilled in the art of concocting elixirs, would immediately be roped in by the various powers the moment they were discovered.
Wanting to purchase elixirs, had become rather difficult.
And because of that, when the Chan Lin Auction House released the news that elixirs would be up for sale, it had attracted so much attention. The huge auction house was almost unable to accommodate the guests who had come to participate in the auction.
"If all the Young Masters here are interested in that batch of elixirs, you can bid for it during the auction. But the owner of the batch of elixirs has already instructed us to do so and due to the requests of our customers, we are unable to make things convenient for all of you." Seeing that Qiao Chu seemed to be highly interested in the elixirs, the man said sheepishly.
If it had been anything else, He Chang Le might have been able to use his position as the boss to open the back door for Qiao Chu and the others, but that was not possible this time.
Qiao Chu laughed heartily and waved his hand to dismiss the man.
"If I was interested, would I still need to buy it? Why don't we just go straight to Little Xie? "Qiao Chu said as he glanced at Jun Xie who was standing at the side, unmoving like a mountain, his eyes smiling into a pair of crescent moons.
"Little Xie, don't you agree?"
Jun Wu Xie glanced at him and decided not to answer his stupid question.
Completely unaffected by Jun Xie's cold stare, Qiao Chu leaned over to Hua Yao and asked: "Brother Hua, how many elixirs did Little Xie bring out for the auction this time?"
Hua Yao replied, "Seven bottles."
"Seven bottles ….. Even if each bottle is sold for a hundred thousand taels, that would be seven hundred thousand taels!" Qiao Chu gulped, calculating the price based on the "swindling" incident at the gates of the Zephyr Academy.
