Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Selling Elixirs

Just as Su Luo, in his easy disguise, had purchased the Jade Ruyi and was about to leave the antique market, the Chaos Bead in his Dantian suddenly acted up.

This startled Su Luo immediately.

Ever since the Chaos Bead appeared within him, it had never reacted this way before.

"Could it be that the Chaos Bead has detected some treasure?"

A thought suddenly struck Su Luo.

He had received the method to control the Chaos Bead from a mysterious senior female cultivator and knew some of its functions.

For instance, if the Chaos Bead approached some real treasures, it might react.

To some extent, the Chaos Bead carried the function of treasure hunting.

Moreover, once it reacted, it meant that the object was definitely not common. Otherwise, the Chaos Bead would not have taken notice.

This filled Su Luo with excitement.

He quickly communicated with the Chaos Bead, using it to sense and discern the direction, and followed its lead!

Eventually, Su Luo found that when he approached an auction house, the reaction of the Chaos Bead was the strongest.

"Could there be some treasure being auctioned off in this auction house?"

Su Luo was thrilled.

After all, this was the largest antique market in Jiangbei, where antiques often emerged. He couldn’t help but wonder if he had indeed stumbled upon a treasure.

Su Luo immediately entered the auction.

"Mr., hello, I’m Xiao Dong from Jiangbei Ancient Treasures Auction House, delighted to assist you..."

Right away, a young woman dressed in a cheongsam greeted Su Luo.

From her, Su Luo learned that the very next evening, the auction house would hold an auction.

Moreover, they had been building momentum for some time, and a very mysterious antique would appear at the auction.

But the specifics were confidential.

"A mysterious antique?"

This instantly piqued Su Luo’s interest.

Could it be that mysterious antique that had caused the Chaos Bead to react differently?

"May I ask, how can I attend tomorrow’s auction?" Su Luo inquired.

"Those invited can simply bring their invitation letter. For those not invited, financial verification is needed. Once verified, they will also obtain an invitation letter!" The cheongsam-clad beauty immediately explained to Su Luo.

Thankfully, their verification only started at a million, and Su Luo still had five million left in his bank card, easily passing the verification.

He obtained the invitation letter!

Su Luo also asked the woman in the cheongsam how much money he would probably need to bid for that mysterious antique.

The cheongsam-clad beauty did not tell Su Luo outright but hinted that without a net worth of over a hundred million, one should almost forget about it.

A net worth of a hundred million didn’t necessarily mean one could bring out that much cash, but it was enough to suggest that without tens of millions, acquiring the mysterious antique would be nearly impossible.

This made Su Luo suddenly face a dilemma.

He had only a little over five million left on him, and to come up with tens of millions or even a hundred million overnight was truly difficult.

But this could not stump the current Su Luo.

A cultivator in the mundane world, if indeed troubled by money, that would be a huge joke.

After going back, Su Luo first placed the Jade Ruyi into the secret compartment under his grandfather’s bed.

He then left again, heading to Huichuntang to purchase a batch of medicinal materials and chose to concoct a batch of Elixirs near Wei Hongbo’s place.

They were essentially downgraded Tempering Pills.

Although the medicinal effect is not as strong as that of a genuine Tempering Pill, it still has remarkable efficacy for ordinary people.

Even for weaker Martial Artists, the effect is not bad.

After refining this batch of Elixirs, Su Luo asked Wei Hongbo, "Elder Wei, if I wanted to convert all these medicinal materials into cash overnight, do you have any channels for that?"

"How much cash?" Wei Hongbo asked curiously.

Su Luo held up a finger.

"Ten million?" Wei Hongbo smiled and said, "If Mr. Su wants ten million, I..."

"I want one billion," Su Luo said.

The words that Wei Hongbo had not yet finished speaking suddenly choked in his throat.

He could come up with ten million for Su Luo.

But one billion, that he could not do.

Although his net worth was barely sufficient, most of it was in assets. Even if he wanted to show off, he couldn’t do it so quickly.

Wei Hongbo gave a wry smile, "Sorry, Mr. Su, I’m afraid I can’t help... However, if you are in urgent need of money, perhaps you could turn to the Lin Family for a temporary solution."

"I’m aware," Su Luo smiled lightly. It was precisely because he didn’t want to go to the Lin Family that he wanted to sell the Elixirs.

It couldn’t be helped. After what had happened with Lin Ruoxi, she probably hadn’t gotten over it yet. How could Su Luo turn to the Lin Family for a loan, especially for an amount as large as one billion?

Moreover, Su Luo was not yet in a position where he absolutely had to borrow money.

He then sought out Zhou Ye and asked, "If you take these Elixirs to the black market to sell, how soon can you get the money?"

Zhou Ye thought carefully and said, "Mr. Su, although the Elixirs you refined have extraordinary effects, you’ve kept too low a profile and your reputation isn’t prominent. Taking these Elixirs to the black market, it’s uncertain whether they will sell. Even if they do, the initial price will inevitably be low. Only after people discover their effectiveness and word of mouth spreads will the price truly go up."

Su Luo fell silent for a moment.

"Help me set up a meeting with Chen Boxiong," Su Luo said.

"Yes," Zhou Ye nodded. Ever since he had followed Su Luo, his vision had risen to the Grandmaster Realm, and he was no longer obsessed with his grudge against Chen Boxiong.

Evening, six o’clock.

Su Luo, accompanied by Zhou Ye, arrived at a high-end private restaurant.

"Mr. Su, it’s like an age has passed since we last met!" Chen Boxiong was very excited to see Su Luo.

"Sorry to have you spend, Mr. Chen," Su Luo shook hands with Chen Boxiong and, side by side, they walked towards the private room.

Originally, he had intended to host Chen Boxiong, yet Chen Boxiong insisted on being the host. Su Luo couldn’t be bothered to argue with him over it.

"It’s my honor to host Mr. Su. I haven’t had the chance to properly repay you for saving my life last time," Chen Boxiong laughed heartily.

At the same time, he glanced at Zhou Ye and found Zhou Ye respectfully following behind Su Luo, which added to his admiration and respect for Su Luo.

"Mr. Chen, I won’t beat around the bush. I sought you out today because there’s a matter I want to discuss and cooperate with you on," Su Luo stated his intention directly.

"Please, Mr. Su, speak," Chen Boxiong was quite curious about what Su Luo wanted to collaborate on while also looking forward to it. He felt this was an opportunity to deepen their relationship.

"Take a look at this," Su Luo handed over a downgraded version of a Tempering Pill to Chen Boxiong, saying, "This is an Elixir I’ve refined called the Tempering Pill. After consumption, ordinary people can detoxify their bodies and temper their constitution, maintaining good health. For three to five years, they will hardly fall ill."

"Tempering Pill? That miraculous?" Chen Boxiong exclaimed.

He examined the Tempering Pill for a moment, but couldn’t see anything special about it.

"Mr. Su, what do you mean? Just tell me directly, I’ll certainly cooperate," Chen Boxiong said with a smile.

Su Luo knew Chen Boxiong didn’t believe him but didn’t mind. He went straight to the point, "I have a total of one hundred and eight Tempering Pills here. I’ll sell them to you for one million each, and you can go out and sell them. Whether you sell them for two million, three million, five million, or even ten million each, you can set your own price. This batch of one hundred and eight, I’ll package them all for you for one billion in total—all I want is cash."

Hearing this, Chen Boxiong almost spat out blood.

Just this lousy pill, one million each?

Su Luo was seemingly finding ways to ask him for money!
