Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Reaching an Agreement

About five minutes later, Li Ya hurried over with a middle-aged man in tow.

The middle-aged man’s pace was even faster than Li Ya’s, as if he was in a greater rush than she was.

"Have we arrived?"

As he walked, the middle-aged man couldn’t wait to ask.

"Elder Huang, it’s just right here," Li Ya responded.

Li Ya had not expected that when she mentioned the "Ageless Pill" to this Elder Huang from the Medicine God Temple and briefly described its effects, he would become instantly excited—more so than even she had been upon learning of the Ageless Pill’s efficacy.

Elder Huang hadn’t even entered the door when he caught sight of Master Gu from afar.

"Master Gu, where is the ’Ageless Pill’? Let me have a look quickly," Elder Huang strode into Master Gu’s Treasure Appraisal House with three steps combining into two, heading straight for Master Gu, disregarding everything else.

"Elder Huang, about the effect of this Ageless Pill, I need you to help verify it," said Master Gu as he immediately handed over the Small Jade Bottle containing the Ageless Pill to Elder Huang.

Elder Huang took it, opened the Small Jade Bottle, and quickly poured out one Ageless Pill.

"This quality... Supreme Grade Elixir!"

Upon seeing the Ageless Pill for the first time, Elder Huang exclaimed in surprise.

They in the Medicine God Temple categorized elixir quality into Low, Medium, High, and Supreme Grade. Even for him, who mainly produced Medium Grade elixirs with High Grade being a rare occurrence, he had never actually crafted a Supreme Grade Elixir.

In the entire Medicine God Temple, only Hall Master Nangong Yu could often produce Supreme Grade Elixirs.

He had never imagined that he would see a Supreme Grade Elixir at this moment.

Furthermore, from the looks of this elixir’s finished product, it’s clear it wasn’t created using their Medicine God Temple’s alchemy techniques, which only added to his surprise.

However, what shocked him even more was... he suspected that the effects of this Ageless Pill might be real.

Indeed.

He had only glanced at it in his hand and lightly smelled its fragrance, making a preliminary judgment.

"Polygonum multiflorum, velvet antler, Snow Lotus, Solomon’s Seal..." Elder Huang slowly named some of the ingredients used in crafting the Ageless Pill.

On the side, Su Luo nodded silently to himself.

Though Elder Huang had not finished, indeed he mentioned the majority. Naturally, the actual Youth Preserving Pill formula was not like this; these were merely simplified versions of ingredients for the Ageless Pill that Su Luo had put together, all of which were common substitutes.

It was precisely through these medicinal ingredients and their properties, when combined, that Elder Huang surmised the Ageless Pill really had an anti-aging effect, possibly a significant one at that. However, the specific proportions and ratios of each ingredient were not something he could discern at a glance.

Otherwise, if an alchemist could understand the Alchemy Formula just by looking at an elixir, that would be truly strange.

"Even if the effects of this Ageless Pill are not as exaggerated as claimed, I’m afraid it’s not far off," Elder Huang finally concluded after further study.

Upon receiving this answer, a smile that Master Gu couldn’t hide spread across his face.

With the confirmation from an Elder of the Medicine God Temple, this "Ageless Pill" would undoubtedly fetch a sky-high price at auction. He was certain that, if marketed properly, many women would be willing to pay a great price to get their hands on it.

By then, they would be able to make a hefty profit from this opportunity.

"Master Gu, where did this Ageless Pill come from?" Elder Huang then asked eagerly.

This kind of elixir was one not available from the Medicine God Temple.

Master Gu looked towards Su Luo and said, "This gentleman brought it to our Dongsheng Auction House to sell."

At that moment, Su Luo was seated on a chair on the other side.

Elder Huang had hurried in, his gaze fixated on Master Gu and the Ageless Pill in his hand, oblivious to everything else.

It was only now that he noticed there was another person seated on a chair on the other side.

He quickly looked over, "This gentleman, is this Ageless Pill yours..."

Before he could finish, Elder Huang was suddenly dumbstruck, the rest of his words stuck in his throat, his pupils dilated, a look of disbelief spreading across his face.

"Su... Mr. Su..."

It took a full three seconds before Elder Huang seemed to snap back to reality.

Su Luo looked at him and said indifferently, "Elder Huang, long time no see, it seems you’ve been doing quite well recently."

This Elder Huang from the Medicine God Temple was none other than Huang Qingyu. Su Luo had recognized him the moment he entered the room but had chosen to remain silent.

"Long... long time no see!" Huang Qingyu’s forehead began to sweat; he had not expected to encounter Su Luo at this time, in this place.

Especially that last remark from Su Luo which left him feeling a bit panicked.

"The two of you... know each other?!"

Master Gu and Li Ya were surprised.

But then again.

It did make sense.

Huang Qingyu was an Elder of the Medicine God Temple, and Su Luo was able to produce an Ageless Pill... Either Su Luo was an alchemist himself, or there was a remarkable alchemist behind him. Knowing an Elder from the Medicine God Temple wasn’t anything extraordinary.

"Know... know each other!"

However, Huang Qingyu’s demeanor was somewhat unnatural, and even his speech was not as fluent, causing Master Gu to become puzzled.

Fortunately, Su Luo’s words diverted Master Gu’s attention, "Master Gu, since Elder Huang has already authenticated the Ageless Pill, I suppose it can now be put up for auction, right?"

"Certainly. Absolutely," Master Gu quickly replied, having such an Ageless Pill was a great boon for their Dongsheng Auction House. It would enhance their auction house’s influence and was undoubtedly a win-win situation.

"In that case, I would like the auction to be held tonight," Su Luo said.

Master Gu exclaimed, "Tonight?"

"Yes," Su Luo nodded.

Master Gu hurriedly said, "Mr. Su, if you are considering holding the auction tonight, the effect might be greatly diminished. The extraordinary powers of the Ageless Pill, if put up for auction, would be best advertised a month or even three months in advance, to spread the news far and wide, attracting crowds from all places. Only then, amidst the heightened anticipation, unveiling the Ageless Pill as one of the final lots will maximize the benefits."

Su Luo of course knew that this method would maximize the Ageless Pill’s potential benefits, but his original intent for making it was to quickly make some money, just for an emergency tonight.

"I need to foot the bill at tonight’s auction, I’m short on cash," Su Luo said bluntly.

"That’s easy to handle!" Master Gu, upon hearing the reason, immediately showed delight, "How about this: we auction off one Ageless Pill tonight as a teaser. As for the funds Mr. Su needs to participate in the auction, our Dongsheng Auction House will cover everything. After the sale is complete, we will settle the accounts with you, how does that sound?"

"No problem," Su Luo smiled. As long as his financial needs for tonight were met, that was all that mattered.

"Also, I don’t have a ticket to the auction. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to arrange a seat for me," Su Luo added afterwards.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Su, it’s part of our job," Master Gu replied with a smile, then looked at Li Ya, "Are there any VIP box seats left?"

"None left," Li Ya shook her head.

Master Gu frowned.

"I have reserved VIP box number 8. If Mr. Su doesn’t mind, perhaps he could join me?" Huang Qingyu looked at Su Luo, tentatively asking.
