While waiting for the Chief Auctioneer to arrive, Yun Sheng looked around Wuji Auction House. The client levels at Wuji Auction are divided into hierarchical categories, and so are the sellers. They are classified as Black Iron Level sellers (below 10,000 Wuji Gold Coins), Silver Level sellers (below 100,000 Wuji Gold Coins), Gold Level sellers (below 1 million Wuji Gold Coins), and Diamond Level sellers (over 1 million Wuji Gold Coins). Do not underestimate the seller levels at Wuji Auction, because it not only represents the price range of the goods auctioned but also corresponds to the buyer levels. This means that once Yun Sheng becomes a seller here, she will also enjoy the corresponding treatment as a buyer. Black Iron Level traders get a 10% discount, Silver Level enjoys a 20% discount, Gold Level sellers receive a 30% discount, and Diamond Level enjoys a 50% discount. In addition, once becoming a Silver Level or higher trader at Wuji Auction, you can enjoy bulk purchase benefits at Wuji Auction House. Bulk purchases can include weapons, magic artifacts, medicinal herbs, important mineral resources, and even some equipment that cannot be acquired on the market. Yun Sheng’s Moon God’s Praise, originally unremarkable, became valuable after it was found to transform a magic waste through rebirth. "This customer, can this potion really change a person’s magic physique?" Soon, Zhou Qingchuan, the Steward and Chief Auctioneer of Wuji Auction, hurried over. Yun Sheng initially thought that the Chief Auctioneer would at least be a middle-aged person, but to her surprise, it was a very young man, about twenty years old. He had handsome features, dressed exquisitely, with light purple hair and amber eyes. His face always wore a smile, but as to what lay behind that smile, it was unknown. The young man’s name was Zhou Qingchuan, who had been dispatched to Luoxia City as an auctioneer just over a year ago. He had heard that a rare magic medicine had been brought in and rushed over in haste. What he didn’t expect was to see a refined and ethereal female mage. The girl in front of him had clear white skin, not the unhealthy sickly white, and her eyes were bright, with dimples appearing on her cheeks when she smiled. Zhou Qingchuan took a few extra glances, and realizing that Yun Sheng was looking at him with a surprised expression, his face turned red, and he coughed before adopting a business-like tone. "Yes, you can check it," Yun Sheng took out the potion, "but you need to be careful, because there is only one bottle of this potion." Yun Sheng understood the principle that rarity carries value, and with her current abilities, remaking Moon God’s Praise would not be difficult. However, in front of these cunning auctioneers, she still held back. As expected of Zhou Qingchuan, who could serve as Chief Auctioneer at Wuji Auction, his eyesight was certainly extraordinary. He looked at the color, which was a bottle of red potion. Just by opening the bottle cap, he could feel the abundant magic elements. Zhou Qingchuan’s expression changed slightly. Under normal circumstances, the starting price for high-quality magic potions is around 10,000 gold coins. However, if it’s a new magic potion that has never appeared on the market before, its value and significance become different. The person buying this potion might be looking to improve their magic physique, but it could also be of interest to the Magic Potion Departments of various Magic Academies, as well as doctors who are competitors in the field of magic medicines, all of whom might purchase this potion for research. "Issue this esteemed Magic Pharmacist a Black Iron membership card; our auction house will take the Magic Potion with a starting bid of ten thousand Wuji Gold Coins. According to the rules of the auction, Black Iron Level members will receive ninety percent of the auction revenue, and the remaining ten percent goes to the auction house," Zhou Qingchuan had someone deliver a Black Iron membership card to Yun Sheng. After receiving the membership card, Zhou Qingchuan inquired further, "May I ask if this distinguished Magic Pharmacist is affiliated with a Magic Academy or are you a freelance Magic Pharmacist?" If they are associated with a well-known Magic Academy, then the starting bid for this bottle of Magic Potion could be even higher. Yun Sheng thought for a moment, "Little Ci’en Hall." Beyond securing a certain amount of gold coins, her intention for participating in this auction was also to establish a reputation for Cien Hall. "Judging by the name, it seems to be a traditional medical hall, right?" Zhou Qingchuan recalled the famous medical halls on the continent, and aside from Medicine Emperor Pavilion, he had never heard of any called Little Ci’en Hall. "It is an old medical hall with its headquarters located at Daoye Mountain Hunting Soldier Guard City. The medical hall has just recently been reorganized and changed its business to manage all kinds of finished medicine and Magic Medicine," Yun Sheng smoothly introduced her own backing. Managing Magic Medicine and finished medicine, isn’t that a medical hall that is neither here nor there? Zhou Qingchuan muttered internally but remained composed on the surface, and he politely saw Yun Sheng off, notifying her that the auction would take place in three days, on the fifteenth, at Wuji Auction House. Yun Sheng could bring her Black Iron membership card to the auction site, and her card would allow her to bring three people with her. Watching as Yun Sheng’s slender figure disappeared into the street, Zhou Qingchuan contemplated for a moment. "Send someone to investigate what’s going on with that Little Ci’en Hall and also the origins of this Mage," Zhou Qingchuan was not just any ordinary auctioneer; in fact, he was one of the direct descendants of the Wuji Commerce affiliated with Wuji Auction House. The reason for his assignment to Luoxia City was also due to certain special circumstances within his family. Zhou Qingchuan was an extremely ambitious person; he originally could have petitioned to forgo such a trial, but he insisted on working his way up from a subsidiary auction house. In just over a year, he had managed to increase the auction house’s revenue by tenfold. This time, as Seven-leaf Purple Ginseng appeared near Luoxia City, the business-savvy Zhou Qingchuan wanted to use this opportunity to take the auction house’s revenue to a new high. At this point, it would certainly be good to obtain a new and controversial Magic Potion. After dispatching his subordinates to investigate Little Ci’en Hall and Yun Sheng’s background, Zhou Qingchuan immediately checked the order of the auction items in the auction catalog for the upcoming auction day. After careful consideration, Zhou Qingchuan placed Yun Sheng’s "Moon God’s Praise" in the middle of the lineup and personally wrote a blurb of introduction. He then commanded someone to distribute the auction catalog as usual to the major families in Luoxia City as well as the city’s central taverns and inns. While Wuji Commerce conducted their investigation into Yun Sheng discreetly, shortly after she entered the auction, someone conveyed the information to a certain location. Ye Beiming was sitting together with a man. The person sitting with Ye Beiming was Long Huo from Wanlong Gambling House. "Master, the Wuji Commerce’s people are investigating Miss Yun’s background, what do you think?" If Yun Sheng heard Long Huo’s address to Ye Beiming, she would undoubtedly be quite surprised. Unexpectedly, the hidden owner of Wanlong Gambling House that nobody in Yujing could have guessed turned out to be Ye Beiming. "If they want to investigate, let them do so. Just make sure they don’t find out that Little Wildcat is a Summoner," Ye Beiming flipped through the newly acquired auction catalog, revealing an indulgent smile at the corner of his mouth when he saw the bottle of Moon God’s Praise.
