Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system - Chapter 494

Capítulo 494: Ch-494: Auction (4)

“Tell me what happened,” the manager asked sharply and also glared at the man, causing him to swallow his saliva.

“This young master is a VVIP who came with Young Miss Tang Ning and wanted to sell some pills. That guy over there was insulting him, so I got angry,” Zhen Ying said as she glared at the man, who was sweating bullets upon hearing Wang Ming’s identity and thought, “I am fucked.”

“You bastard, you dare insult a VVIP? Looks like you want to die,” the old man shouted in anger as he glared at the worker.

“Get lost. If I ever see you here again, you will be dead,” the old man said angrily as the man, with a pale face, ran away.

“I apologize, Young Master, for his behavior. May I see the pills? I will place them for auction personally,” the old man said. He had the same reaction as the receptionist, but he still said this to make sure Wang Ming did not blacklist this place and would come again in the future. If a wealthy guest like Wang Ming chose to hold a grudge, it would be a loss for the auction hall.

“Hmm, it’s fine,” Wang Ming said as he brought out a jar, and the old man’s pupils contracted to the size of needles.

“Wait… these—” The old man’s pupils contracted to the size of needles when Wang Ming opened the lid of the jar. An intense aroma of pills assaulted the air, sending a shiver down the old man’s spine. Even the receptionist and Zhen Ying were shocked by the powerful aroma.

“Is this good enough for the auction? These are Golden Core Realm breakthrough pills,” Wang Ming said.

“What?! Breakthrough pills?” the old man exclaimed, and even the ladies covered their mouths with their hands when they heard Wang Ming.

The pills in the jar helped Core Formation Realm experts loosen their shackles and made it easier to reach the Golden Core Realm. Even though a cultivator needed to absorb enough spiritual energy, they could still fail the breakthrough when Heavenly Lightning descended to prevent it. These breakthrough pills were highly sought after because they helped attract a weaker version of the Heavenly Lightning.

Gulp.

Swallowing sounds could be heard as they looked at the jar and at Wang Ming with shining eyes.

“Young Master… is it okay if I check the grade of the pills? Even if it’s low grade, it will still be able to rank among the top fifteen items auctioned,” the old man said with a tremble as he looked at Wang Ming.

“Low grade? This fossil is underestimating me,” Wang Ming snorted inwardly but kept his expression unchanged.

“Sure, here you go,” Wang Ming said as he handed the jar to the old man, who carefully took it.

“Zhen Ying, go and fetch the grade measurement tools,” the old man said to the shocked woman.

“Y-Yes, I will fetch them,” she said as she hurriedly left. After a few minutes, she returned with a tray. Wang Ming raised an eyebrow when he saw a lone needle on it.

Seeing the interested look on Wang Ming’s face, Zhen Ying explained, “This is the pill assessment tool. Only a few people can tell the grade of a pill by sight alone, but most others like us need tools to determine the grade. As you know, the grade of a pill or any other object is determined by the quality of spiritual energy in it. This tool is specifically used for pills. The needle separates the spiritual energy inside the pill, and the tray determines the grade by showing different colors.”

Zhen Ying explained while Wang Ming nodded and looked at the old man, who took out a pill and placed it between his fingers.

Wang Ming watched him take a sniff of the pill and saw his eyes light up as he murmured, “Such high quality.”

Then the old man took the needle and stabbed it into the pill. As soon as the needle was embedded, the pill immediately disintegrated, and what seemed like a small, spherical, colorless ball fell onto the tray.

“Spiritual energy,” Wang Ming thought with a raised eyebrow. Obviously, he could not see spiritual energy, so he detected it with his senses.

Everyone immediately turned to look at the tray and waited for its response. As soon as the spiritual energy touched the tray, it lit up.

A moment later, the room brightened as the tray glowed gold.

“WHAT?!” everyone exclaimed in shock, while Wang Ming merely raised an eyebrow.

The old man, who had been standing silently, immediately staggered forward and slammed the table, looking as if he had just witnessed his ancestors crawling out of their graves.

The old man’s jaw dropped after seeing the result. He was rendered completely speechless, his mind already in a mess from the outcome.

“Y-Yellow—heavens, it’s a mid-quality pill,” the receptionist and Zhen Ying said with flushed faces.

“Idiots, are you blind? Check the color properly!” the old man scolded both workers without taking his eyes off the tray. He clenched the jar in his hands tightly, afraid that Wang Ming would take it away.

“Huh, not yellow? Could it be…” A thought emerged, and they hurriedly narrowed their eyes. Soon, their pupils contracted as they looked at the tray.

“G-Golden—heavens, a high-grade pill!” both girls exclaimed as they fell onto their buttocks.

“Young Master, where did you find these treasures?” the old man asked in a serious voice as he thought, “This will cause an uproar in the auction hall, and if I can get him to tell the location, we can also auction the location.”

The old man thought with a glint in his eyes.

“Found? What found? I was the one who made them,” Wang Ming said. As soon as these words left his mouth, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

“What?! You made them?” The old man could not care about courtesy anymore and grabbed Wang Ming’s shoulders, shaking him as he stared. This caused Wang Ming to frown.

“Can you let me go? I don’t like others—especially men—touching me,” Wang Ming said with narrowed eyes. The old man snapped out of his shock and let Wang Ming go.

“I apologize. I got too excited,” the old man said while bowing his head.

“It’s fine. Yes, I was the one who made the pills,” Wang Ming said.
