With his mysterious appearance, Wen Yun Zi stepped foot towards the most famous auction pavilion in the Purple Moon Country.
It was this auction pavilion that was the main goal of Wen Yun Zi coming to the Imperial City.
The auction pavilion or more familiarly known as the 'Wuxi Pavilion', was the single largest auction site in the Purple Moon Country. The only auction site that will make a scene for many people every time the auction will be held. According to the rumors circulating, until now no one knew who the owner of the Wuxi pavilion was.
Currently Wen Yun Zi was standing in front of the six-story grand building. His gaze was fixed on a tall building that looked magnificent even if only from the outside only.
Wen Yun Zi walked towards the entrance and a burly guard greeted her politely.
"Welcome to the Wuxi pavilion, miss. Can I help you?" The guard greeted at once asked respectfully.
Wen Yun Zi nodded then said. "I'm here to auction something."
"Please go inside miss." Said the guard while politely opening the door.
Wen Yun Zi's mood was much better to see the guard who was so respectful and courteous to her.
In a room located on the first floor of the Wuxi pavilion, two people sat facing each other and looked at each other. These two people were a machete-beaked man and a mysterious lady dressed in red hanfu with a colorful fur mask covering her face.
The middle-aged man looked at the colorful fur-masked lady who was sitting in her lazy position. The appearance of the middle-aged man was ordinary, but his pair of sharp eyes showed that his figure was not what it seemed. While the colorful fur-masked miss was none other than Wen Yun Zi.
The middle-aged man looked at Wen Yun Zi as he wanted to know to what extent his cultivation level was. But unfortunately, however, the middle-aged man still could not figure it out at all.
Xing Jun and Little Spirit laughed in their respective dimension spaces as soon as they saw the wrinkled expressions on the faces of the middle-aged man.
Wen Yun Zi also raised the corner of her lips. Of course the middle-aged man would not be able to know his cultivation level. The reason for that was because his cultivation had already been hidden by the God Jade Pendant Artifacts.
Giving up, the middle-aged man asked with his wide smile like a friendly middle-aged man. "What will miss the auction in our Wuxi pavilion?"
Wen Yun Zi flipped the back of her right hand and a single porcelain bottle appeared suddenly on her palm. "I want to auction off this medicinal pill." Say it in a relaxed tone.
The middle-aged man furrowed his brows and said. "Pil medicine? looks like Miss is in the wrong place. The Wuxi Pavilion will only auction medicinal herbs, not medicinal pills."
"If the medicinal pill I am about to auction off is equivalent to a level three medicinal pill concoction, will you still refuse?" Asked Wen Yun Zi who did not care about the middle-aged man's refusal.
"Miss, I've been the Chief appraiser for twenty years in the Wuxi pavilion. For these twenty years, I have never heard of any medicinal pill that could compare to a medicinal herb. You should already know, the popularity of medicinal pills is always lower than medicinal herbs in any aspect right?." The middle-aged man was annoyed and considered what Wen Yun Zi said was just an excuse.
This time it was Wen Yun Zi's turn to look annoyed. Very upset at feeling considered stupid by the middle-aged man. In addition to his sense of regret, Wen Yun Zi also did not expect that the popularity of medicinal pills had so decreased that it had come to a point where no one wanted them anymore.
"My reason came the Wuxi pavilion was no more because the Wuxi pavilion was the only largest auction site in the Purple Moon Country. If you as the Lord of judgement don't even believe me, what's the point of me staying here?" said Wen Yun Zi who was slightly upset. Get out of his chair and walk towards the exit.
Just as his hand was about to touch the doorknob, Wen Yun Zi turned back again and said. "I'll go to the other auction site! Old man, you'll know what's missing on your auction site when the time comes."
The middle-aged man pondered as soon as he heard the confident words of Wen Yun Zi; this miss speech was extremely confident. Perhaps the Wuxi pavilion would really lose something if today I let it go.
Working as a appraisal Master in the Wuxi pavilion for twenty years, the familiar middle-aged man in Master Lin's greeting, was certainly not the narrow-minded type of person.
Master Lin believed in his own intuition and immediately stopped Wen Yun Zi who was about to open the door. "Don't go, miss!"
Wen Yun Zi deliberately did not leave because she knew Mr. Lin would definitely change his mind.
Mr. Lin who was originally being indifferent and disbelieving to Wen Yun Zi, unexpectedly now behaved respectfully and spoke in a polite tone. "Miss, can I trouble you to wait here for a moment? I'll go call Master Jiang to check on your medicinal pills."
Wen Yun Zi nodded with a faint grin at the corner of her lips.
Master Lin walked out of the room after asking Wen Yun Zi to sit down and wait. Not to forget, Mr. Lin closed the door again then went towards the staircase leading to the second floor.
As soon as he arrived on the second floor, Mr. Lin asked Mr. Jiang where he was at a servant who was on duty cleaning the hall where the auction was held.
Master Jiang is the only apothecary in the Wuxi pavilion. The news that circulated widely out there mentioned that Lord Jiang was the only person who knew who the owner of the Wuxi pavilion was.
Out there, Lord Jiang's own status was not only that of a pharmacist from the Wuxi pavilion, but also that of being one of the most respected pharmacists in the Purple Moon Country. This status was not obtained due to the popularity of the Wuxi pavilion, but was obtained from his extraordinary refining skills as well as from his title as a level five cauldron King apothecary.
A few days later, the door opened again. Mr. Lin walked into the room and behind him was followed by another middle-aged man dressed in brown hanfu.
The middle-aged man behind Mister Lin was none other than pharmacist Jiang who was going to examine the medicinal pill that Wen Yun Zi had.
"What's? auctioning off medicinal pills in our Wuxi pavilion? are you kidding Lao Lin?" Master Jiang was surprised upon hearing Master Lin's words.
It turned out that Lord Jiang did not know that what he was going to check was a medicinal pill. Master Lin had indeed deliberately not told Master Jiang out of fear that Master Jiang would refuse directly without checking him first.
"Lao Jiang, this lady said her medicinal pill was equivalent to a level three medicinal herb." Master Lin tried to convince Master Jiang.
"No way!" Master Jiang did not believe it.
Master Jiang simply did not believe there was a medicinal pill equivalent to a level three medicinal herb. Being a high-level apothecary, Master Jiang certainly knew clearly what the difference was between a medicinal herb and a medicinal pill.
Wen Yun Zi remained calm even though Master Jiang did not believe it. "Master Jiang, this world is so big. Even if you have lived for hundreds of years, that doesn't mean you know everything. There are some things you don't know that actually exist in this world. Same with the medicinal pills. During this time the popularity of medicinal pills had indeed decreased, but no one knew whether in the future it would remain the same." He spoke in a tone like a teacher teaching his students.
Although what he said was indeed true, Master Jiang still did not receive lecturing by foreigners who did not even know of his origin. Master Jiang raised both of his eyebrows and angrily said. "How dare you teach me!"
Wen Yun Zi remained seated quietly as if it was not her that Master Jiang snapped.
But what about Xing Jun and Little Spirit? ...
Will the two of them remain calm seeing their Master in the snaps? ...
Of course not! Both of them were instantly emotional as soon as they saw Master Jiang snap at Wen Yun Zi. Due to his emotions, the two would even attack Master Jiang from within the dimensional space. But Wen Yun Zi stopped him and said that she was not once affected by Master Jiang's clash.
Master Jiang was amazed to see Wen Yun Zi's calm demeanor and said as if he was still angry. "Since you said your medicinal pill was equivalent to a level three medicinal herb, then take it out and show it to me."
"All right!" Wen Yun Zi smiled meaningfully as she handed one porcelain bottle to Master Jiang.
Master Jiang accepted it, unscrewed the lid and put the bottle close to his nose. As soon as his scent smelled, Master Jiang's face instantly froze.
Master Jiang asked with his shocked expression. "From the aroma alone, this medicinal pill was indeed equivalent to a level three medicinal herb. But this was clearly a medicinal pill, how could it smell so much stronger than a true level three medicinal herb?"
Master Jiang was startled as well as excited as if he had discovered a new world.
Sitting beside Master Jiang, the expression on Mr. Lin's face looked surprised which was at once mixed happily. Master Lin was surprised because Master Jiang said Wen Yun Zi's medicinal pill scent was much stronger than a level three medicinal herb, and was happy that his intuition was not wrong.
Wen Yun Zi did not answer Master Jiang's question, but rather said it would be best if Master Jiang examined him himself.
Master Jiang nodded. Take one pill out of the porcelain bottle, and examine it thoroughly.
After half an hour had passed, Master Jiang guiltily said. "Miss, I apologize for the harsh words I said earlier. I really did not expect it to turn out that in this world there was a pharmacist capable of refining medicinal pills to a very perfect level. Again I'm sorry."
Again Master Lin was shocked to hear the words of apology coming out of Master Jiang's mouth.
During his twenty years working in the Wuxi pavilion, Master Lin had never seen or heard Master Jiang apologize to anyone. But now with his own eyes, Master Lin saw Master Jiang apologizing to a mysterious miss of unknown origin.
Wen Yun Zi smiled accepting Master Jiang's apology, then asked. "So, is this medicinal pill of mine qualified or not for the auction in the Wuxi pavilion?"
"Of course you qualify! Only stupid auction sites were unwilling to auction medicinal pills equivalent to these level three medicinal herbs. Miss, I make sure this medicinal pill will sell for a high price." Said Master Jiang excitedly.
"Generic ... Uhuk ..." Master Lin coughed twice after hearing Master Jiang's words.
"Lao Lin, are you okay?" Master Jiang asked after seeing the strange expression on Mr. Lin's face.
"Good! I'm fine!" Master Lin hurriedly waved his hand signaling he was fine.
"Thank God I didn't let this lady go! If I had just let him go, wouldn't that be the stupid Wuxi pavilion?" Mr. Lin broke out in cold sweat thinking about what would happen if he had just let Wen Yun Zi go.
Wen Yun Zi smiled faintly looking at the strange expression on Mr. Lin's face. Even Xing Jun and Little Spirit also smiled.
