Chapter 656: The Sale of Longevity Pills
Not everyone is qualified to be a top guest of Ruyuan Tower. This condition alone can screen out more than half of the people. At least, most of the people sitting in the lobby are not qualified unless they have special connections and backers.
For example, the generals of the Yue Family Army and Taoist Guye and others, after all, power is the most useful qualification for participation.
Taoist Guye and his men took advantage of the current might of the Yue Family Army and even reduced most of the "priority fees". As long as they paid 10% of the share, which was one thousand and two taels of silver, they did not need the so-called gold qualification.
Relatively speaking, this is much better than those other aristocratic families.
Many times, power is so useful that some capable people, magicians and Taoists in the world will join some big forces, so that it is easier to strengthen themselves and gain more benefits.
After the guests in the lobby heard Manager Chen from Ruyuan Tower talk about the bidding qualifications for the Longevity Pill, many of them fell silent for a moment, and only a few were still discussing.
Merchants are profit-driven. Now only Ruyuan Tower sells the longevity pills. They have the final say on how to sell them, and outsiders can do nothing about it. You know, the prices on the black market are not cheap, and you can't buy them whenever you want. It all depends on luck.
Some people bought the longevity pills in Ruyuan Tower, or obtained them from other channels and sold them, earning tens of thousands of taels of silver for each pill, which was a huge profit.
So it was really a stroke of luck that Mr. Li spent two thousand taels of silver to buy a longevity pill.
Soon, the sale of the longevity pill began.
Manager Chen took off a piece of red cloth covering the table at the back and opened the exquisite brocade box, revealing ten small medicine bottles, each containing a longevity pill.
Seeing these small medicine bottles, many people's eyes became excited. If this happened in another place, it would definitely cause unrest and people would be unable to resist grabbing them.
But this is Ruyuan Tower, where there are many powerful masters, and the power of Ruyuan Tower is also huge, so no one would act so blatantly.
It was not until the process of drawing the wooden balls began that everyone's attention turned to the blindfolded guy on the podium, and everyone's eyes were burning with desire.
At this moment, the blindfolded guy was holding a large wooden spoon with a long handle in his hand and scooping food randomly in the basin.
Before fishing out the wooden balls, Manager Chen shook the wooden basin to scramble the balls.
This large wooden tub is placed at an angle, so that the situation inside the tub can be displayed to everyone, to show fairness and that there is no trickery.
When the blindfolded guy went to fish out the wooden ball, he turned his back and reached behind him with a long-handled spoon. Even though he was blindfolded, he did not face the wooden basin.
He moved quickly and casually fished out a wooden ball. Manager Chen, who was standing by, took the wooden ball and, in full view of everyone, loudly called out the number on the ball, "Number 18."
As he recited, he showed the wooden ball in his hand to the people around him, then raised his hand high and showed it in the direction of the private room upstairs.
After hearing this number, many people upstairs were quite disappointed, only the buyer behind the number was excited.
Most people in the lobby were just watching the fun and envying the people behind the numbers.
One quota was set, and there were nine left. Next, just like before, the blindfolded guys were asked to take out wooden balls from the wooden basin one by one at random.
After a while, ten wooden balls were fished out and the buyer of the longevity elixir was determined. Some were happy, while others were disappointed.
The guards escorted the guys in Ruyuan Building to deliver the small medicine bottles containing longevity pills to the buyers upstairs, and the matter came to an end.
The guests downstairs were still discussing the topic of the longevity elixir.
Looking at the current situation, Si He clearly felt how great an impact the longevity pill had on people and how much people desired it.
However, this situation did not last long.
After all, spiritual essence is not cabbage. It takes a long time to cultivate it. Moreover, the number of longevity pills currently sold on the market is not small, which consumes a lot of spiritual essence.
Today, Chang Ling is selling longevity pills on a large scale, which is no different from what Zang Nian did in the past. The purpose is to cultivate more "nourishing essence bodies".
Chang Ling's "broadcasting" action will not last long.
According to Chen Sangsang's confession, in his 'previous life', Chang Ling was not able to refine the longevity elixir so quickly. In this life, due to some changes in Si He's behavior, Chang Ling was able to refine the longevity elixir ahead of time and sell it widely.
But if nothing unexpected happens, the sale of the longevity pill will not exceed half a year, just like in the 'previous life', unless Chang Ling finds a large amount of land to nourish essence and spares no expense to refine a large amount of longevity pills.
But in his 'previous life', Chang Ling left Yue Hejiang shortly after he stopped selling the longevity pills and disappeared.
As for the detailed information, Chen Sangsang didn't know either. She only knew some relatively important things. Because the longevity pill caused a sensation for a while and many people were talking about it, most people knew something about the longevity pill.
After Chang Ling disappeared, Yuehejiang posted missing person notices extensively, and then there were rumors that Chang Ling was an alchemist who made longevity pills. That's how Chen Sangsang heard the news.
Combining the information confessed by Chen Sangsang, Si He also roughly guessed the reason for Chang Ling's disappearance.
Because according to her current plan, Chang Ling cannot be kept!
The first reason is his stance. In his previous life, he worked under the recruitment of Yue Hejiang and left only after Yue Hejiang lost power. Now he has betrayed Yue Hejiang in advance and switched to the forces of Qingzhou. No matter which side he is on, he is in a hostile stance.
In addition, Chang Ling was involved in the massacre of Liu Mao in Qingzhou. Although he did it covertly, some clues could be used to analyze the situation.
Liu Mao knows too much. If he is tortured, there is no guarantee that he will reveal something.
Regardless of whether Chang Ling knew about her past, he could not live.
After the auction of Ruyuan Tower ended, Si He and Yue Fuli went back without staying outside for long.
After returning to the government office, Si He told Yue Fuli all the things about Chang Ling, except for the matter of Liu Mao.
"Spiritual spirit?"
When Yue Fuli heard her talking about the main ingredient of the longevity elixir, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that this thing was taken out from the body of a vicious corpse.
Si He continued, "Well, although this thing contains evil energy, it is undeniable that it has miraculous effects. However, unless the situation is serious, it is not recommended to use it."
Just like beautiful flowers and sweet fruits, they also need dirty fertilizers to grow well.
Although the evil corpse is evil, its body is corrupt and full of toxins, it is a very good body for nourishing essence and can produce this unique thing.
