Alchemies

Chapter 54: Rich

Alex slowly handed the bottles to the woman and said, "This is the pill. These three bottles contained a total of 12 Qi-enhancing pills. This one contains 5 Swift Feet pills, this one contains 4 Qi Enhancing pills, and the last one contains 4 Qi Enhancing pills. 2 face altering pills."

The woman took the pill and unclogged it to look at the pill inside. As soon as he opened it, an incredible medicinal scent wafted from his bottle, making the entire room smell like that.

He's dumbfounded. He immediately looked into the bottle while hoping for something delicious based on its smell, and when he actually saw it, his jaw almost gaped.

Every pill inside must be Earth class. He immediately took out a pill testing tool and inserted the pills one by one.

The figure ranges from 24% to 36% harmony. He immediately stored the pill back into the pill bottle so as not to lose its effect.

He looked back at Alex and asked, "Are you sure you want to sell this?" he had rarely seen such a high level of harmony from the pills brought to the auction all along.

Most alchemists were the type of people who were aloof. They consider themselves to be very important people, when they are, but that makes working with them almost impossible. Most of them have bad personalities due to their excessive ego, and also spend a lot of money on their work.

Or at least that was the impression he got from some rogue alchemists who had come to sell their works.

The alchemist from the Hong Wu sect rarely sold them to auction, and this was the first time he had personally handled them. His impression of alchemists slowly changed.

Alex nodded at his question and told him that he wanted to sell everything. He quickly counted his items and gave him a rough estimate of 80 common spirit stones after deducting. He told her how the auction house took 10% of the money from the sale of the item.

After confirming the item for sale, he took Alex through one of the rooms through many doors. Inside, he picked up one of the many talismans lying on the ground.

He wrote down everything he sold on the talisman and printed it with his Qi.

“This will be our contract to make sure no one of the parties makes any wrong attempt to harm the other party,” he said while handing it over to Alex.

After everything is done, Alex leaves the auction house. Along the way back to the sect there was one thing he kept thinking about but was unable to find the answer.

'How does selling my items at an ordinary auction house reach other players? Did they also come to the auction house to buy? Or can they buy it from wherever they are?'

This was the first time he had sold something, and from what he learned on the internet, he had only told him to go and auction it at any auction house.

He observed the talisman in his bag and thought, 'So her name is Cai Ping huh. Wondering why he didn't introduce himself normally.'

It didn't take long for him to learn how auctions work in Immortal Cultivation.

'Wait. So my item will not be sold to other players other than NPCs?' it was the unexpected knowledge he had learned.

'Hmm... so how does Deva company make money?' he's confused. If players could sell in-game items to NPCs and make money from them, then the company should have gone bankrupt by now.

He researched longer, and only then did he learn that players could convert the money in their bank into in-game currency. Of these, Deva Corporation took over 10%.

Similarly, they also take a 10% commission from what you convert back into real-world money.

'So they do what they can to take your money, and also do what they can to not give you your money, ' he thinks it's pretty funny.

'Oh, that's right. Let's see what the in-game currency conversion rate is. Hopefully, I can make a little money with the stuff I sell.' He quickly searched the current conversion rate for the game.

When he finally found her, he was shocked.

'That's not true, ' he saw it again on a different site, but the results showed the same results.

'Huh?? How can it be 10 dollars per ordinary spirit stone?? Doesn't that mean I make uhh..720 dollars after deducting 80 spirit stones that I will get?' he's really flabbergasted.

He hopes to get the best income around 20~ dollars. But unexpectedly his goods were valued at a high price.

‘They said pills and artifacts sold the highest, didn't they?’ he thinks in his heart.

After learning that he could make quite a lot of money, his desire to practice alchemy and make more pills grew stronger. He tried to see how much the pills sold were so that he could make them properly, but unfortunately the public did not have information about most of the pills.

Regretfully, Alex hangs up and goes to dinner with Logan, Matt, and Eric. He was looking forward to getting back into the game, so he finished his dinner very quickly and had to wait until the other 3 were done.

As soon as he returned to his room, he immediately logged back into the game to make a few more pills. But then he remembered, He has a work to be done now that was assigned to him by his master.
