248: Chapter 248 Don't you know how to refine it?

Scavenging for treasures? Scavenging for ghost treasures?

Lin Ming walked around for a while, but there was nothing worth scavenging. Among the items on the stalls, there was nothing of value, though there were plenty of fakes.

Yunhai Chamber of Commerce

After wandering around, Lin Ming arrived at the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce.

The headquarters of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce was located in Tianyun City. It was rumored that the chamber had some support from the Gu Family behind it.

"Sir, what are your requirements?"

As soon as Lin Ming stepped inside, a beautiful woman walked up to greet him.

Lin Ming directly produced a VIP token.

"Grade B VIP token. Please, follow me."

The attendant recognized it at a glance as a VIP token of their Yunhai Chamber of Commerce and immediately escorted Lin Ming to a reception room.

He was personally hosted by a manager.

"Fellow Daoist Yan."

A voice filled with surprise came from outside.

Immediately after, Manager Wang Hai stepped inside.

Upon seeing Lin Ming, his face was filled with surprise, mixed with a hint of excitement.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, long time no see."

Lin Ming said, somewhat surprised.

He remembered that Manager Wang Hai was from Mingshan City; how had he ended up in Tianyun City?

"I still have Fellow Daoist Yan to thank," Manager Wang Hai said.

"Fellow Daoist Yan's Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill earned me a commendation, and I was transferred to Tianyun City."

Although Manager Wang Hai was still a manager after being transferred to Tianyun City, there was a certain distinction between a branch manager and a headquarters manager.

Manager Wang Hai saw hope for his continued advancement.

All of this was due to Lin Ming's Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill.

"It was merely a transaction," Lin Ming said calmly.

There was no need for any thanks.

It was simply a mutually agreeable transaction. The other party received what they wanted, and Lin Ming received what he wanted. Since it was a mutual exchange, there was no need for gratitude.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, what are your requirements?" Manager Wang Hai asked.

He had actually secretly had someone investigate Lin Ming's identity.

The result was a blank slate; there was nothing.

This made Manager Wang Hai realize that Lin Ming's identity was anything but ordinary.

For such a guest, Manager Wang Hai certainly had to be cautious.

Moreover, Manager Wang Hai also had requests of his own.

"I'm here to sell some small items."

Lin Ming waved his hand.

Two bottles of Medicinal Pill appeared on the table.

"8th-rank Medicinal Pill — qingxu soul refining pill."

"8th-rank Medicinal Pill — nieyuan mingling pill."

Lin Ming said calmly.

However, these words fell upon Manager Wang Hai's ears like a thunderclap.

What had he just heard?

An 8th-rank Medicinal Pill?

He suspected that he might have misheard.

This was an 8th-rank Medicinal Pill!

One had to know that in the current Qingxuan Realm, there were only two publicly known 8th-rank Alchemists, yet Lin Ming had directly produced an 8th-rank Medicinal Pill.

This left Manager Wang Hai stunned in place.

"You may inspect it," Lin Ming said calmly, picking up his teacup for a sip.

Manager Wang Hai's expression was entirely within his expectations.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, please wait a moment."

Manager Wang Hai's tone had become much more respectful.

To be able to produce an 8th-rank Medicinal Pill, the background of the person before him was far from simple.

Manager Wang Hai turned and walked out.

Before long, two old men rushed directly into the room.

One of them was a practitioner of the Other Shore Realm, while the other was slightly inferior, a practitioner of the 7th Heaven of the Sea of Bitterness.

"8th-rank Medicinal Pill?"

The practitioner of the 7th Heaven of the Sea of Bitterness took a stride, arrived before the Medicinal Pill, and opened it directly.

In an instant, a strange, refreshing fragrance drifted out.

The practitioner of the Other Shore Realm reacted quickly and immediately moved to seal the room, preventing the fragrance from spreading.

At the same time, they perceived a throbbing from their Divine Soul—a longing, a craving for this Medicinal Pill.

"That's right, this is indeed an 8th-rank Medicinal Pill," Ji Yun said, a flicker of longing in his eyes.

"This is our Yunhai Chamber of Commerce's 6th-rank Alchemist, Ji Yun," Manager Wang Hai introduced.

"I once had the good fortune of seeing a Medicinal Pill refined by Alchemist Yinzhu," Ji Yun said, lost in a bit of reminiscence.

He could not refine an 8th-rank Medicinal Pill, but he had seen one.

This qingxu soul refining pill was indeed an 8th-rank Medicinal Pill, and a High Grade one at that.

"I wonder, which Great Master's hand did this Medicinal Pill come from?" Ji Yun asked curiously.

Was it Alchemist Yinzhu of Buxian City, or Alchemist Muxue of Baijue Mountain? Or perhaps it was not one of those two; could there be another 8th-rank Alchemist besides them?

Ji Yun leaned toward the latter.

"Why? Does the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce intend to investigate the origin of the items?" Lin Ming asked unhurriedly.

"Of course not," Vice President Qin Zhu spoke up at this moment.

His gaze was locked firmly onto the two bottles of 8th-rank Medicinal Pill.

This was an 8th-rank Medicinal Pill! It was a Medicinal Pill required by practitioners of the Nirvana Realm.

This person likely intended to place these Medicinal Pills in their Yunhai Chamber of Commerce for auction.

For their Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, this was an opportunity that absolutely could not be missed.

They had to secure it.

"I am Vice President Qin Zhu of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce," he introduced himself first.

"Fellow Daoist, these two types of Medicinal Pills are to be placed in our Yunhai Chamber of Commerce for auction, correct?" Vice President Qin Zhu continued.

"Half a month from now, the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce will hold a large-scale auction," Lin Ming said.

The large-scale auction of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce.

As one of the largest chambers of commerce in the Qingxuan Realm, the headquarters of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce also held large-scale auctions from time to time. The spirit items that could make it onto a large-scale auction were basically 5th-rank or higher. Unless a spirit item below the 5th rank was extremely special, it wouldn't even have the qualifications to be presented.

All kinds of High Grade Cultivation Techniques and rare oddities could be found there.

Therefore, the large-scale auction of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce could be considered a major event in Tianyun City.

"No problem. With your items, Fellow Daoist, they will certainly be able to make it into the auction," Vice President Qin Zhu guaranteed.

This was an 8th-rank Medicinal Pill; it was sufficient to serve as the finale item.

"That is good. Then I shall leave them at your chamber of commerce for auction," Lin Ming said, rising to his feet.

"Wait a moment, Fellow Daoist," Vice President Qin Zhu spoke up.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Ming looked at Vice President Qin Zhu, then glanced at Manager Wang Hai, and asked.

"Was the Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill obtained by Manager Wang Hai also from your hand?" Vice President Qin Zhu asked.

"It was not refined by me," Lin Ming shook his head.

It had come from his hand, but it was not refined by him.

The three men, including Vice President Qin Zhu, instantly understood what Lin Ming meant.

"Then, would you be able to provide us with another Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill? We are willing to purchase it for the price of five hundred High Grade Origin Stones," Vice President Qin Zhu said with a serious expression.

"Can't you refine it?"

Lin Ming looked at Ji Yun and said.

The Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill was a 6th-rank Medicinal Pill.

And as a 6th-rank Alchemist, refining a Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill should not have been a problem for Ji Yun.

"My skill is insufficient; I cannot refine a Crimson Void Demon-Slaying Pill."
