Chapter 52: Ch. 25 Part 2

"Ah yes, an auction facilitates the selling and buying of valuable things like works of arts, valuable calligraphy, collectibles.. etc well anything with values can be auction in an auction house. The people invited will place bids on the items for auctioning and the highest bidder gets the items. Like offering high prices, let’s say an ink stone is sold for 5 taels of silvers, but the price could go up when it’s auctioned let’s say like 50 taels in an auction house since people would be offering prices and in other to obtain the inkstone. That’s why only valuable things are sold in auction house, and in an auction house not only what the owner’s sell would be auctioned off but even you madam Huang could bring something valuable which you no longer have use for and went it to be auctioned off. We will set a price and commission first, but the item could even be sold more than the price set. " Xiao Ling calmly explained and they all nodded in understanding, because his explanation was easy to understand.

" Then this auction house is a good thing, i can’t wait to have a look. So little boss what has the process of making ice in summer have to do with the auction house? are you by chance thinking about auctioning it?" madam Huang asked again and he smiled " not the process, but the items itself which are going to be auctioned off in the auction house " they all looked at his mysterious smile as he said the item in plural word. "So these are some of the items going to be auctioned off, i give you a fridge, an oven and an ice maker! " they stopped in the path leading to the kitchen and he showed them the items. They looked at the odd looking boxes with some delicate designs but were still confused on how the box could make ice. "Brother Ling these boxes could make ice? " Jinhua asked him in doubt and he snorted "they’re not boxes but items." Xiao Ling opened the lid where the ice produced by the ice maker would be fetched from and called them to take a look. They were all astonished seeing that and stared in doubt thinking they were seeing things, Xiao Ling fetched a couple of ice cubes with his hand and brought it to them before closing the lid of the the ice maker. They took a few ice cubes in their hands and exclaimed feeling the coolness of the ice. "Ah little boss where this you get such a thing thing? I’ve never seen such a thing in all my life! " Madam Huang couldn’t help but feel amazed. He opened the fridge and oven for them to see too. " The fridge is for keeping things cool and the oven is for baking things like snacks and heating foods when they go cold " he explained the purpose of the other items first.

" Actually it was my husband who crafted them all for me " he said with a smile and turn to YanZhi who was quiet the whole time. " You mean craft... like those crafted items by cultivators like the storage ring brother Yan sold to Dafu? " Jinhua asked in bewilderment grasping the important part. Xiao Ling nodded making Jinhua and doctor baffled and lost of words, madam Huang who didn’t know what was going on just stared between them in silence. " Wasn’t brother Yan a martial arts master? " Jinhua expressed his doubts. Madam Huang who got a new information also looked bewildered thinking no wonder Yanzhi and Xiao Ling didn’t lower themselves for her, because basically they were an official and his wife just like her status too! " i never said I was a martial arts master... it was your assumption " Yanzhi said bluntly and looking bored and they all looked dumbfounded and speechless, Yanzhi never had the intention of hiding the fact he was a cultivator but that didn’t mean he was going to around announcing that. Xiao Ling looked at him with proud eyes.

Suddenly they all cupped their hands and lowered their heads saying " we have seen the immortal master " they stayed in that position waiting for Yanzhi to accept their greetings and worship. A cultivator was basically a living Buddha to even the emperor of the dynasty let alone them, how could they disrespect an immortal cultivator all this time. Sweat beads formed on their foreheads, Xiao Ling was utterly in disbelieve at their suddenly change of attitude. He turned to YanZhi who was looking at them with no emotions as if they were passing wind, he glanced at Yanzhi waiting for an explanation. " *sigh* get up all of you, there’s no need for this. Just behave like your usual selves " he sighed and said. Jinhua and madam Huang had black faces thinking ’it’s easier for you to say!’ but none of them expressed their thoughts. " That’s right, brother Yan would always be brother Yan! " both of them were startled hearing doctor Shi think ’when did he raised up his head’, they also raised up their heads and sneaked a peek at Yanzhi seeing that he really had no problem with doctor Shi’s behavior they let go of their breaths which they didn’t know they were holding.

" Doctor Shi is right, so just behave like you always do." Xiao Ling who still didn’t know what was actually going on assured without Yanzhi’s consent, he knew Yanzhi wouldn’t mind. Because he himself finds it nerve wrecking seeing Jinhua and madam Huang acting super careful around Yanzhi. " The little one has eyes but couldn’t see mount Tai! " madam Huang laughed dryly as she said but both Yanzhi and Xiao Ling didn’t want to continue talking about that. " You see these items would be placed for auctioning in the auction house after it is built along with other crafted items and other things. And if you all have things to auction off you can start bringing them from now, the things will have to pass our evaluation to see whether it’s worth auctioning before it’s sent to the auction house. So madam Huang, doctor Shi and brother Jinhua can start informing their friends and social circles about the auction house. " Xiao Ling changed the topic and they all listened to him. " Little boss these items are really novelty, it has never been seen in this dynasty. Not even by our ancestors, master Yan crafted such valuable things " madam Huang praised whole heartedly.

" They were all Xiao Ling’s idea, i just crafted them with crafting materials. And what would be auctioned would be a little bit different from this.. " Yanzhi didn’t plan on taking all the credit for himself, his next words made everyone including Xiao Ling turned their attention to him. Yanzhi never informed him about that, " the items here are all powdered by qi.. i mean internal energy from both Xiao Ling and I as well as Yue my disciple. We’ve imbued our internal energy in it to keep it running, but we can’t do the same for the ones for sale. I’ll craft a small item as a power source for the ones for auctioning, I’ll imbued my internal energy into those items but the energy imbued in those items will not last forever because i can only Imbued enough energy in them to last for a couple of years like two to three years at most. I don’t have that leisure to continue providing energy force for them like that of my wife’s! There’ll be another shop opened along with the auction house and that shop will sell those energy imbued items, do not worry you don’t have to buy the energy imbued items along with the fridges and the rest. The fridges comes with one energy imbued item for each purchased item, if you’re able to win let’s say two fridges from the auction house then two energy imbued items would be provided for you, but after the energy runs out, you take the now empty case to the shop selling the energy imbued items for exchange but you have to only pay for the energy inside the item if you go for exchange. But if you don’t have your case for exchange then you’ll pay for both the item and the energy force in it, you see i don’t have obligations to do things for free! " Yanzhi expressed.

It wasn’t like he couldn’t power all the later sold fridges and the rest with qi, but he just didn’t want to do that. To him all that would be a big waste of his qi and also they were not Xiao Ling whom he’ll use his qi to do anything for. Xiao Ling laughed happily thinking that in his last life he didn’t have someone who values him most amongst everything, even his so called friends who later betrayed him never showed him such value which Yanzhi was showing him now. He thought transmigrating to this world and meeting Yanzhi was so far the best thing that has happened to him, he felt so much love and acceptance. " Xiong Gong values me most! " Xiao Ling blushed embarrassedly and said, Yanzhi looked at him with doting smile and rubbed his head. The others being fed dog food were extremely disheartened but no one had the courage to tell the Immortal and his wife to stop feeding them dog food! After rubbing enough Yanzhi stopped, " just like power banks? " Xiao Ling asked him. Yanzhi who was informed of the convenient gadgets of the 21st century nodded " yes just like the power banks " Madam Huang, doctor Shi and Jinhua left the restaurant after analysing and agreeing on things with Xiao Ling and YanZhi.
