9. Appraiser Gu Ni

Xiao Feng entered the Miteer Auction House and was quite amused to see the grandiose. There was a large hall filled with people and the reception was at the center of it. There were several counters for selling and buying but these were only for low grade items which cannot be auctioned. Although there were several people in the entrance hall, the whole place was sparkling clean. The polish and lustre everywhere made Xiao Feng admire the view very much. There were also staffs almost all of whom were good looking ladies with refined behaviour. As everyone knows the first impression of a place depends on the looks and behaviour of the staffs. Xiao Feng could understand why this Auction House is so reputed and belongs to one of the most powerful family in Jiama Empire.

He walked towards the reception and informed them that he wishes to auction his items. Immediately a lady with refined looks led him to the Appraisal room and asked him to wait.

After a while of waiting, an old man with white beard and proud aura opened the door. Xiao Feng looked at him through his hood and saw a badge with two silver lines over a cauldron on his chest. This is the alchemy badge and the two silver lines represent a 2nd rank alchemist. The old man walked towards Xiao Feng and sat on the chair opposite to him.

" I am the appraiser of the Miteer Auction House. My name is Gu Ni. Take out the auction item that I need to appraise", Gu Ni said in an arrogant tone.

Xiao Feng smirked under his cloak and took out a jade bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table. Gu Ni impatiently took the bottle and opened the cork to sniff it. At this moment a change occured. Gu Ni's face went from arrogant to bewilderment in an instant. He looked at Xiao Feng with horror. After appraising, he could tell that this is a 2nd rank pill with very high purity. In his knowledge only a high grade 3rd rank alchemist or a 4th rank alchemist can refine such pill. He never thought that a 3rd rank alchemist will appear in this small Wutan City much less a 4th rank.

His attitude turned completely respectful without a hint of his previous arrogance.

" Honoured Guest, may I ask if this pill was refined by you? "

" Yes, is there a problem? ", a hoarse voice came from under the cloak. This was created by Xiao Feng using his soul power to vibrate his vocal cords.

" N..No...no, there isn't any problem. May I ask what is the effect of this pill? "

" It is called Foundation Building Elixir. When used as a medicinal bath, it can increase the cultivation speed of people under Dou Zhe without any side effects ", Xiao Feng said nonchalantly.

Gu Ni, on the other hand was dumbfounded. Increase cultivation speed without any side effect. This is amazing!

He respectfully bowed and said, "Honoured Guest, I suggest that you give us some time to advertise this pill to the people in the city. In that way, the money generated by this item will be much more"

Xiao Feng nodded in agreement. " Then I will trouble you"

" It's my honour to do this. The auction will take place in 2 days. Please attend the auction then "

" Alright, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave "

" Let me lead the way"

Many people at the auction house was surprised to see the only 2nd rank alchemist in the auction house leading the way for a black cloaked person. They started speculating at the identity of the black robed person.

Xiao Feng didn't care about these and after walking out of the auction house, he came to the same secluded street and disappeared into the void. In the next instant, he appeared in the sky above the Xiao Family or to be precise above his courtyard.
