FORSAKEN IMMORTALS

Chapter 107 - Reaching An Agreement



Chapter 107 - Reaching An Agreement

The old man was shocked when he heard that Bai Rouyun said that she might move the pill to another shop to sell it.

Even if the Thousand Treasure Pavilion was the only actual auction house in the Canglan City, other shops might be willing to set up an auction for this pill alone. This would result in Thousand Treasure Pavilion losing all the benefits from hosting the auction and the reputation they could gain later on.

Not to mention the possibility to work together with this mysterious alchemist who had at least one archaic pill formula.

"Don’t be too hasty with leaving," he hurried to say. "We would love to auction your pill for you, the pill is naturally a wonderful item, and everyone will scramble to get it, so it would be a shame not to sell it in a real auction."

Bai Rouyun looked at the man and contemplated slightly before nodding her head hesitatingly.

She had no intention of actually using another shop. The Thousand Treasure Pavilion belonged to Xue Jingyu, so it was only natural that she helped him out, but the alchemist within this branch was too arrogant and selfish. She was not at all pleased with his manner of wanting her to give him things for free.

Even if he had offered something for the pill or the formula, then she would have had a better impression, although she would not trade the formula she would consider refining a pill for him, but now she wanted him to have nothing.

"Then let us talk business," she said thoughtfully as she looked at the old man. "I want the pill to be put at an auction a week from now. Spend that week promoting the pill, and make everyone understand that it is created from an ancient pill formula."

The old man was astonished by the person in front of him. He had been worried that the mysterious alchemist wanted to sell it right away, resulting in them having a very short time to promote, but a week was just enough, without being too much.

Everyone would feel the urgency, with a one week delay, but they still had enough time to gather wealth to have a shot at getting the pill.

While Bai Rouyun and the old man began discussing their options and the business plan, the alchemist had a hideous expression on his face.

He wanted this pill, but he did not own a lot of wealth, so winning the pill was impossible. This was why he wanted to convince the seller to give it to him, and even more when he heard that the seller had an archaic pill formula. He had never seen one of these, but the seller had no interest in sharing it with him, and his mood was getting turbulent.

He was starting to plan how he could get his hands on the pill or the pill formula without paying too much. As an old scrooge, he valued his wealth more than anyone else.

The old man was a shrewd businessman. He had been working at the Thousand Treasure Pavilion his entire life, and looking at the contemplating expression of the alchemist, he could instantly guess what he was thinking.

The old man’s expression turned ugly. He wanted to have a lasting work relationship with Bai Rouyun, but it was not likely to happen if she was infuriated by their resident alchemist.

Bai Rouyun had lived two lives. She had been an independent cultivator, and many had schemed against her before. Hence she was aware that the alchemist had some plans about her formulas.

Right now, the alchemist was much stronger than her; he was at the innate realm, orange tier, and fifth layer.

It was not considered strong, but compared to Bai Rouyun, it was indeed a lot stronger. While she might be able to escape from his hands if she exhausted all her hidden cards, she was not willing to do so. She had to warn him ahead of time.

"This token was gifted to me by Young Master Xue," Bai Rouyun said with a lazy voice. She was pretending that her words were about the weather, when they, in fact, caused the hearts of everyone present to jolt.

"The reason I picked the Thousand Treasure Pavilion is because of my relationship with your young master. Do not let him down."

The old man felt sweat bead on his forehead, and he smiled generously and nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.

"Do not worry, we will take care of everything very well," he promised as he slapped himself on the chest.

Seeing him so agitated, Bai Rouyun smiled wryly. He was old, so it did not suit him to be so agitated, but she understood that she had to threaten them indirectly to ensure that her pill did not suddenly vanish from the surface of the earth.

While the old man would not move against her, she did not trust the alchemist. He was clearly greedy for the pill and the formula, and looking at him; she could see that even after taking out Xue Jingyu’s name, he was still not convinced.

"Make sure to lock up the pill somewhere that no one else can access," she suddenly said, and the old man saw how Bai Rouyun was glancing at the alchemist. He instantly understood her worry and assured her that the auction house would guarantee that it did not vanish while they were looking after it.

Hearing his assurance, Bai Rouyun nodded her head and rose from the chair. They had already agreed on everything that had to do with the business aspect, and she had signed a contract. Now she did not have to do anything else than wait for the auction to be held.
