SPMT : Chapter 111 Auctioning Dan Medicines

Xiao Jingting and Xu Mu’an stopped in front of an auction house.

“We’re here, Star Cloud Auction House, the largest auction house in Mo City,” Xu Mu’an said.

As soon as Xiao Jingting and Xu Mu’an arrived, the steward of the shop immediately greeted them with trepidation. “Two esteemed guests, is there anything I can help you with?”

“I would like to speak with your boss,” Xiao Jingting said lightly, hands behind his back.

“Sir, what can I do for you?” A handsome young man came forward without hesitation. He had a round face and looked quite friendly.

Seeing the young man come out, the steward introduced him to Xiao Jingting. “Sir Xiao, this is the young master of our auction house, Lin Tai.”

Xiao Jingting nodded at Lin Tai and said, “Can we talk privately?”

“Of course.” Lin Tai didn’t hesitate, leading Xiao Jingting to the most upscale meeting room.

“I wonder how I can help?”

Xiao Jingting took out a dozen bottles of Dan medicines and placed them on the table.

Lin Tai checked the Dan medicines in the bottles and his face showed a hint of inexplicable excitement.

“Sir, do you want to sell these Dan medicines to our auction house? Our auction house’s reserve funds are limited, and we can’t afford to take them all.” Lin Tai said nervously.

Xiao Jingting shook his head. “No, I want you to help organize an auction.”

Originally, Xiao Jingting wanted to open a Dan medicine store in Mo City. However, considering their limited fame, the store would not attract many customers in the short term. He thought it would be better to use the auction house’s connections to hold an auction, which would help promote the upcoming opening of the Dan medicine store.

“Sir, are you entrusting our auction house to auction these Dan medicines?” Lin Tai asked.

Xiao Jingting nodded. “Yes.”

Lin Tai’s eyes sparkled with excitement. The Dan medicines brought out by Xiao Jingting were precious indeed. Holding such an auction for the other party would greatly enhance the auction house’s reputation. Even if they didn’t get a commission, there would still be many benefits.

“Since Sir trusts our auction house so much, we will not let you down. However, Mo City is a small city and the traffic flow is limited. I need some time for publicity. May I ask when Sir would like to hold the auction?” Lin Tai asked nervously.

Xiao Jingting thought for a moment. “Fifteen days from now.”

After some consideration, Lin Tai nodded solemnly. “Okay.”

Xiao Jingting and Lin Tai signed a contract and then left.

“Young master, your opportunity has come.” After Xiao Jingting left, the steward of the auction house said excitedly to Lin Tai.

Lin Tai nodded. “Yes.”

Lin Tai was originally the main branch of the Lin family, but was sent to Mo City as if he were being exiled. He thought to himself: If I can handle this auction well, the family will definitely treat me differently.

Lin Tai acted quickly and made a series of publicity efforts for the upcoming auction of Dan medicines. Although many people were skeptical that a small city like Mo City could have so many Dan medicines for sale, it didn’t stop many people from coming to watch the excitement and try their luck.

For a while, the originally quiet city saw many experts at the Eighth and Ninth Levels of Qi Refining. It was possible to encounter a stranger who was a master on the street. In such a situation, the four major families of Mo City became much more low-key.

…

Xiao Jinfeng’s villa.

“Back already?” Xiao Jinfeng greeted Xiao Jingting and Xu Mu’an as they returned.

“Has anyone been here?” Xiao Jingting asked.

“Grandpa came.” Xiao Jinfeng replied.

“Oh, it’s Grandpa? Did he come to reconcile?” Xiao Jingting asked curiously.

Xiao Jinfeng nodded. “Yes, but before that, Father was expelled from the family, and now he’s a bit disheartened, so he didn’t agree to Grandpa’s request.”

“Well then,” Xiao Jingting said indifferently. In the original owner’s memory, this grandfather seemed to have been in seclusion for cultivation most of the time, and Xiao Jingting hadn’t seen him much.

“By the way, I heard that there will be a large-scale auction of Dan medicines in Mo City. Are those Dan medicines provided by you?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.

Xiao Jingting nodded. “Yes.”

Xiao Jinfeng nodded. “I see.” Mo City didn’t have many experts, and there were limited people with the ability to buy Dan medicines. Taking the Dan medicines listed in the auction elsewhere might fetch a better price.

“Brother, how’s your cultivation going?” Xiao Jingting asked.

Xiao Jinfeng scratched his head. “With the spirit stones and Dan medicines you gave me, I’ve been progressing quickly. I’ve already reached the Eighth Level of Qi Refining.”

“That’s good. Brother, in another two or three years when the merchant ship arrives, I’ll leave. It’s best for you to advance to the Foundation Building stage before I leave.” Xiao Jingting said seriously.

Xiao Jinfeng smiled embarrassedly. “Jingting, actually, my aptitude isn’t that good.”

Xiao Jingting glanced at Xiao Jinfeng and said, “Perhaps your aptitude isn’t the best, but you’re the one I trust the most.”

Xiao Jinfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said firmly, “Since you trust me so much, I won’t let you down.” (So cute)

“I’ll go see Father.” Xiao Jingting said.

Xiao Jinfeng nodded. “Okay.”

“You’re Back.” Xiao Linfeng looked at Xiao Jingting and showed a hint of relief on his face.

“Yes, Father, are you feeling better?” Xiao Jingting asked.

“Much better. Grandpa came earlier and asked about the Dan medicines. He wanted a few Ice Heart Pills,” Xiao Linfeng said.

Xiao Jingting thought to himself: Grandpa’s heart isn’t that black after all. He only asked for Ice Heart Pills, not Lotus Heart Pills. Lotus Heart Pills are much more precious than Ice Heart Pills, but it’s not surprising. Lotus Heart Pills are effective for practitioners at the Eighth Level of Qi Refining to advance to the Ninth Level. Unfortunately, apart from the second branch, the Xiao family doesn’t even have anyone at the Eighth Level of Qi Refining.

Xiao Jingting said lightly, “I’m afraid Grandpa will be disappointed. The Dan medicines have been entrusted to the auction house for auction. If Grandpa wants to buy them, he’ll have to bid.”

Xiao Linfeng nodded. “That’s what I said.” As a result, Grandpa scolded him.

Xiao Linfeng half-closed his eyes, looking a bit dejected. When Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu disappeared, when they came back, Xiao Linfeng saw that the three sons were in worse situations one after another. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Grandpa, who had been standing by and watching. This time, the second branch was separated separately, which made Xiao Linfeng even more resentful towards the Xiao family, and he lost interest in the affairs of the Xiao family.

“Father, if you’re not feeling well, I won’t disturb you.” Xiao Jingting said.

Xiao Linfeng nodded. “Okay.”

…

Although half a month’s time was somewhat rushed, the auction house did a very thorough job, attracting many big forces to participate.

Sun Miaomiao sat in the auction house, feeling a bit nervous. The Sun family originally had a fixed box in the auction house, but this time there were too many experts from elsewhere, and the Sun family’s box was requisitioned. Sun Miaomiao and her sister had to sit in the regular seats of the auction.

Sun Miaomiao lowered her voice and said to Sun Miaoyin, “Sister, I heard that this time the Dan medicines are all provided by Xiao Jingting.”

Sun Miaoyin nodded. “I’ve heard. I heard that Xiao Jingting has already reached the Foundation Building stage.” When the news first came back, Sun Miaoyin was full of doubts. Later, news kept coming from the Pei family, and Sun Miaoyin realized that the news of Xiao Jingting reaching the Foundation Building stage might be true.

After the Pei family’s Foundation Building experts were challenged by two Foundation Building experts and retreated, they never came out again. Later, it was rumored that the Pei family’s old ancestor was injured and his cultivation regressed.

The Pei family became arrogant, offended many people, and when news of the Pei family’s old ancestor possibly being seriously injured spread, several families with grievances against the Pei family joined forces to seize the Pei family’s business. The Pei family surprisingly didn’t react. After some probing, it was quickly confirmed that the Pei family’s old ancestor’s cultivation had fallen below the Foundation Building stage. Overnight, the once glorious Pei family fell apart.

“The city lord’s people are here too. I didn’t expect them to come.” Sun Miaoyin muttered.

Sun Miaomiao looked at Ouyang Mingyue, who stood out among the crowd, feeling a little sour in her heart. They were both women, but the other party lived a glorious life while they were insignificant and humble.

“Grandpa wants to bid for two Lotus Heart Pills this time. It doesn’t look very promising now.” Sun Miaoyin said.

Sun Miaomiao bit her lip, and the auction house made it clear that this auction only accepted spirit stones and spiritual herbs. The Sun family’s spirit stone reserves were not large, and they had been collecting spiritual herbs during this time. Other families had the same reaction, and for a while, the price of spiritual herbs on the market rose considerably.

…

“Sir Xiao, you’re here. Please come in quickly.” Seeing Xiao Jingting, Lin Tai greeted him with a smile and welcomed him into the box.

Xiao Chengfeng sat in the regular seats, watching Xiao Jingting enjoy VIP treatment, feeling quite uncomfortable.

After the Xiao family was targeted by the Pei family, Xiao Chengfeng urged the old man to separate the second branch, and the old man, who was getting old, only wanted to preserve what he had, so he agreed.

When Xiao Linfeng was around, Xiao Chengfeng always felt constrained, but when Xiao Linfeng left, Xiao Chengfeng suddenly felt relieved all over. Xiao Mu died in the secret realm, and Xiao Linfeng brought back the other two illegitimate children from outside.

Xiao Chengfeng had been suppressed by Xiao Linfeng since he was a child. Seeing Xiao Linfeng injured, Xiao Chengfeng actually felt a bit of schadenfreude. However, Xiao Chengfeng didn’t expect the second branch to stand up so quickly this time, and this time, it was different from last time. This time, the second branch had risen to a height beyond his reach.

“It seems that there are quite a few Foundation Building experts here!” Xiao Hefeng paused and said somewhat displeased, “Big brother, look at you. You insisted on splitting the second brother out, and now it’s made the relationship between the family and the second brother so strained.” Xiao Jingting is doing well now, and they, as Xiao Jingting’s uncles, have not taken any advantage.

“Third brother, you also agreed to separate the second brother at the beginning! What’s the point of you coming after the fact now?” Xiao Chengfeng said dissatisfiedly.

“The second brother seems to be really angry this time. Father went to the house to ask for the elixir, but he didn’t agree. I heard from father that the second brother’s cultivation seems to have recovered.” The fourth brother Xiao Lifeng said helplessly.

Xiao Chengfeng felt as if his throat was choked when he heard Xiao Lifeng’s words.

Xiao Changfeng (1st)
Xiao Linfeng (2nd)
Xiao Hefeng (3rd)
Xiao Lifeng (4th )
So confused with this Xiao Family @_@
