Douluo Dalu System - Chapter 49
After leaving Shrek he met up Ma Hongjin who was at the entrance of Shrek,
“Brother San, I heard you were going out to hunt for Spirit Rings is that true??”
“Yes, I was planning on leaving after doing something in the city”
“What do you have left to do here??”
“I heard that there is an auction in the city so I was planning on visiting it and see if there is anything that would interest me there and also I wanted to sell some items to make some cash”
“Can I come with you too, I’ve been feeling bored staying here all day”
“Come with me?? Sure”
“Haha, great”
Tang San and Ma Hongjin went to the reception and the lady at the counter asked politely,
“Hello, how may I help you gentlemen”
“Well we came here hoping to place a few items on the auction and get a few auction cards”
“I see, please follow me to see the appraiser of our auction house after which I will deposit your money into the auction cards”
They entered into a room at the side which looked quite decorated and had two grand sofas and a table with a bunch of paintings on the wall along with a few ornaments in a nearby case. Tang San and Ma Hongjin sat on the sofa, the latter looked as if he owned the place and had a few attendees wait on him and had them serving him wine and fruits.
Tang San seeing that could only let out a wry smile, soon an old man in luxurious robes came out the door opposite to the one from which they had entered.
“Hello my name is Li Mo I’m an appraiser working for the auction house, may I know what items you would be selling to the house??”
Ma Hongjin didn’t bother even looking at the man and let Tang San do all the talking,
“Yes, you see I have a rare weapon with me and a few pills which I would like to sell at this auction, I’ve prepared a sample of each pill and the weapon which I want to sell is this one”
“This weapon is called Powder Shooting Shadow, it can shoot three times after being loaded with steel needles, each time accompanied by a confusion type poison mist. The steel needles themselves are coated in paralyzing poison, and the toxin will take effect as soon as they have pierced the skin. Each time it could shoot thirty-six steel needles as for the pills I have nearly 200 pills of the ones in the copper bottles, 200 of the ones in the Jade, 100 of the ones in Silver and 50 of the ones in gold”
“The Jade bottle contains beautifying pills, wrinkle removing pills, skin whitening pills and hair growing pills”
“The Copper bottles contain Hormone energizing pills, stamina pills, pe**s largening pills, fat reducing pills”
“The Silver bottles contain Spirit replenishing pills for the Spirit Master, Spirit Grandmaster and Spirit Elder Ranks, Healing pills which can heal small and medium level injuries and Toxin detoxifying pills which can help one resist and detoxify most poisons below the Spirit Elder Rank”
“The Gold bottles are the most special, they have Spirit boosting pills, Mental improvement pills which can help one enter into a deep state of meditation, Body tempering pills which can help one develop a stronger body and Spirit Power boosting pills”
“Out of all the pills, only the Spirit boosting and the Spirit Power Boosting pills have a side effect while the Body tempering pills cause the owner to have bear through a lot of pain and the Mental improvement pills might make one addictive if used on a large dose or for prolonged periods”
“The pills in the gold bottle makes the body to develop resistance to it much faster than any other pill so you would have to advise the customers to not buy them much”
When he finished speaking the room had a pin drop silence, even Ma Hongjin who just tagged along thinking that he would only be selling a few weapons or so was scared of his brothers’ powers in making pills.
“Sir… is what you said all true?? Do those pills really have such effects?? If it proves to be wrong or if there are any other side effects than the one you’ve said then the auction house will hold you responsible are you telling the truth??”
“Well, even I have brains not to mess with a large auction house such as yours and is there an idiot who would sell his pills to the shark-like customers at this auction house??”
“B-B-Brother San, are those pills real??”
Hongjin pulled Tang San closer and asked him in a whisper, afraid that their conversation would be overheard by anyone else.
“Of course they’re real, I can give you a few pills in the Copper bottles, later on, don’t worry”
“So a total of 550 pills and weapon is it??”
The appraiser had to still check the credibility of the pills but no one would lie to the auction house unless they have a death wish so the pills would mostly be real. This made him tremble with happiness, if these pills were sold in his auction house then the entire auction house might get a boost to its reputation and he would surely be rewarded for this deal later on.
“No, what I meant by the number of pills was 200 of each type of pills in each copper and jade bottle, 100 of each in the silver bottle and 50 of each in the gold bottle with 10 bottles of each kind, so a total of 2300 pills”
