Chapter 16: Mittel Auction House

After fooling around with Little Fairy for a while, Su Yun began his cultivation practice.

His "golden finger" didn't offer any direct methods to improve his cultivation level, so hard work was his norm.

...

One night passed, and Su Yun took out the alchemy furnace to start refining pills.

Now that he had broken through to the Fighter level, many of his previous ideas could be put into practice.

If everything went smoothly, according to his plan, he would soon undergo an epic-level power boost.

The alchemy furnace he used was purchased during his time in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

When he left Wutan City to head for the Magic Beast Mountain Range, he barely had any gold coins left.

After spending some time in the Magic Beast Mountain Range and selling some magic beast carcasses and cores, he managed to raise enough money to buy the alchemy furnace at the Mittel Auction House.

He only managed to acquire two pieces of it.

Indeed, every penny was hard-earned.

There was no need to dwell on the past hardships. From now on, Su Yun would no longer be poor!

Su Yun took out all the herbs from the system space and placed them in the room.

These herbs were all his harvest from the Magic Beast Mountain Range, with some obtained from the nameless cave.

Su Yun took a deep breath. It was time to get to work.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Yun had already refined most of the herbs into pills, which he stored in special jade bottles.

Most of these pills were first and second-grade, with very few third-grade pills, and none were fourth-grade.

After all, he had only stayed on the outskirts of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, so he didn't have many high-grade herbs for refining.

But it was enough.

The profits brought by these hundreds of pills were already considerable.

Su Yun took out a snake-skin mask from the spatial ring and, after some fiddling, transformed into a slightly short middle-aged man.

He put on the robe of a fourth-grade alchemist and exchanged a few words with Little Fairy before heading to the Mittel Auction House.

The Mittel Auction House was affiliated with the Mittel Family, one of the three major families of the Gamma Empire.

The difference between these three major families and the three major families of Wutan City was like heaven and earth. Each family had at least a Great Fighter-level powerhouse.

Among them, the Mittel Family was the wealthiest.

In the original text, Ya Fei was from this family.

The Mittel Auction House was not far from his home. In less than a moment, Su Yun entered the hall of the auction house.

At this moment, a middle-aged man hurried over to Su Yun, his expression respectful.

"Esteemed guest, esteemed guest. Master Han Li, coming to our Mittel Auction House, how may I assist you?"

The middle-aged man was full of flattery.

News of the certification of a fourth-grade alchemist in Wutan City had spread long ago.

In a small place like Wutan City, any force with a bit of strength knew about it.

The inner excitement of the middle-aged man was like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Su Yun was escorted into the VIP room by the middle-aged man.

Su Yun wasn't surprised. The specially made robe of a fourth-grade alchemist couldn't be fake, and he estimated that someone had reported his arrival as soon as he reached the gates of the Mittel Auction House.

"I'm here to sell some pills." Su Yun sipped his tea and spoke.

"I see." The middle-aged man nodded.

The middle-aged man wasn't surprised. It was normal for an alchemist to sell pills.

"I wonder how many pills you want to sell so I can have an idea."

Su Yun took out dozens of jade bottles from his spatial ring.

These were all second and third-grade pills. Although the Mittel Auction House would also accept first-grade pills, they were of lower grade.

And he had other uses for them...

Looking at the densely packed jade bottles on the table, the middle-aged man's eyebrows raised.

So many!

No wonder Master Han Li came to our Mittel Auction House.

Even in Wutan City, it would be impossible for a single family to absorb all these pills.

The middle-aged man spent quite a long time carefully counting the pills.

"Phew, Master Han Li, I've finished counting."

"Good."

Su Yun nodded. Finally, it was done.

"If you want to sell them at our auction house, we have two options." The middle-aged man said.

"Please go on."

"One option is to auction your pills at our auction house. After a period of promotion and setting a date, all major forces in Wutan City will participate. This method will bring you more gold coins, but it will take longer."

Su Yun nodded.

His pills were too many for a single family in Wutan City to absorb, but if all the forces in the city participated in the auction, he would still reap considerable profits.

The middle-aged man then mentioned the second option.

"The second option is to sell your pills directly to our Mittel Auction House. Our financial resources, as you know, are substantial. Although we are just a branch here, it won't be difficult for us to absorb your pills."

Saying this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but look proud.

That's right, among the three major families in the capital, the Mittel Family was the wealthiest. The Mittel Auction House was backed by the Mittel Family, so they naturally had no shortage of gold coins.

"If you sell your pills to our auction house, I guarantee you won't be shortchanged. We'll buy them at a price higher than the market price, but it will be slightly less than what you would get through direct auction."

Su Yun nodded. The premium from the auction would be considerably higher, but as a fourth-grade alchemist, he wasn't concerned about a little money now.

If he auctioned them, he would have to promote the event, allowing all the major forces in Wutan City to learn about it. He didn't want to wait that long.

"Since the auction house is so sincere, I'll sell these pills to you." Su Yun said to the middle-aged man.
