Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system - Chapter 495

Capítulo 495: Ch-495:Jiang Ruoxi

“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.

When everyone heard Wang Ming’s reply, they were left astounded and looked at him with eyes full of disbelief.

‘Heavens, this guy… not even the top alchemists… maybe a few, but those are old monsters who could make high-grade pills,’ the old man thought as he looked at Wang Ming with a glint in his eye.

“To make these pills, you need to be a Golden Core Realm cultivator…” Zhen Ying thought. She hurriedly checked his cultivation; she hadn’t at first because it was rude and they were trained not to do so, but now she couldn’t resist her curiosity. As she checked his cultivation, her pupils dilated, and the others had the same reaction.

‘Heavens, I must speak with the young miss and ask her to recruit him into the Jiang Family. It will be difficult; if his talent is known along with his alchemic skill, the royal family might also try to recruit him. But… would he join?’ the old man thought with narrowed eyes, then shook his head. ‘Whatever, I will just inform the young miss.’

“So, can I put this item up for auction?” Wang Ming asked with a raised eyebrow.

The old man snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Wang Ming’s voice. Looking at Wang Ming with excited eyes, he nodded. “Yes, of course! You can leave it to me; I will arrange everything. Young master, normally we take 18% of the profits from a sale, but for high-quality items like this, we take only 10%. Is that acceptable?”

The old man looked at Wang Ming cautiously, a hint of nervousness in his voice for fear that Wang Ming would change his mind. ‘If he disagrees, I will talk with the young lady to lower the charge,’ the old man thought, his forehead covered in sweat as he saw Wang Ming in deep thought with furrowed eyebrows.

“It’s fine,” Wang Ming said. He had frowned at first but then reconsidered; it made sense for them to charge a fee, and honestly, in his eyes, it was cheap. The 5-Star auction would gather wealthy cultivators from all over the place, and his pill would fetch a much higher price compared to being sold at a normal auction house.

“Great, young master! Leave everything to me; you can go and relax,” the old man said with a smile on his face.

He was excited. If such high-grade pills were sold along with the other auction items, the already popular Golden Sun auction would become even more famous and might even attract customers from outside the kingdom. Pills were more sought after than other treasures—especially high-grade ones—as they could help improve a person’s chance to reach the next realm, which is a permanent boost to combat strength compared to treasures.

After he saw Wang Ming leave the place, his smiling expression vanished, and he immediately adopted a serious look. “I should immediately go and inform the young miss,” the old man mumbled as he vanished from his spot.

As the old man arrived in front of a luxurious room, he was greeted by a few noble merchants who had come from all over the kingdom. He sighed as he overheard their conversation. “Every fucking time,” he muttered.

“I have some rare and high-quality swords to sell. Can I meet Madam Ruoxi?”

“Rubbish! Who cares about weapons? I have cores from Golden Core Realm beasts!”

Many handsome men—and even some women—were pressing an attendant, who wore a tight smile on her face.

“I apologize; these items are not enough to catch the Young Miss’s attention.”

The old man shook his head as he saw the crowd deflate in depression.

Since Jiang Ruoxi would only meet with guests who had extremely rare and valuable items to sell, or those with a profound background, the assistant shook her head; even though they had rare items, they were not enough to catch her attention. The only reason the attendant remained polite was that the guests were rich, and she did not want them to feel insulted and not return later, which would be a loss for business.

Another reason was that Jiang Ruoxi used her fame as the most beautiful woman to her advantage. Some lucky people had the pleasure of sharing a meal with her when they brought rare items to the auction hall. She used this tactic to make her hall famous within the Black Bamboo Kingdom and the Jiang Family, where everyone is a rival wanting to host a 5-Star Auction in their own hall. Now, nothing interests her other than extraordinary items.

“Is the young miss inside?” the old man asked, walking towards the attendant after the crowd dispersed.

“Yes, the young miss returned after entertaining a few guests,” the attendant replied as she recognized the old man. He nodded and went inside the room.

As soon as he stepped inside, there was a sharp contrast between the room and the outside; if the outside was luxurious, the inside was minimal, furnished only with a sofa for guests.

An extremely beautiful woman, with a figure that sinners would drool over, was reading a scroll with a frown on her face.

“Grandpa Seven, why are you here?” The woman, hearing someone enter, furrowed her eyebrows and looked up, surprised to see the person.

“Hehe, it looks like you are exhausted,” the old man chuckled, not answering her question immediately.

“Of course I am. I had to go and eat with the people who brought items ranked in the top 20. All of them were disgusting and couldn’t hide their greed for me. If not for them bringing rare items, I would have pummeled them into the ground, and…” Jiang Ruoxi said with an irritable expression, sighing as she slumped onto the couch.
