Bao Bao had some idea of purity since he was in the business of selling items, but he wasn't certain what 100% meant.

"What do you mean by 100% purity, why do you look so shocked?"

​​

The appraiser turned to look at Bao Bao before moving over to whisper the implications of a 100% purity pill to him.

When he heard what the appraiser said, Bao Bao's eyes couldn't help lighting up. If he could secure this pill for his auction hall, it would firmly cement them as the number one auction hall in all of Green Wood City.

As for the appraiser, he was actually an alchemist as well, so he knew that someone who could refine a 100% purity pill definitely wasn't a normal person. Especially someone who could refine a Mortal Grade Pill that was considered an Earth Grade Pill!

This Enlightenment Pill was classified as Mortal Grade, but with how difficult it was to refine and with how strong its effects were, many regarded it as a Earth Grade Pill instead.

When pills were refined, there were four grades that it could take. They were respectively the Normal, Mortal, Earth, and Heaven Grade.

Normal Pills were refined by Junior Alchemist, Mortal Pills required one to be at least a Master Alchemist, Earth Pills were expected to be refined by Grandmaster Alchemist, and Heaven Pills were expected to be refined by Legendary Alchemists.

It had been centuries since a Heaven Pill had been seen and it was rare to see Earth Grade Pills in auctions, so this Mortal Grade Pill that was considered to be on the same level as an Earth Grade Pill was already considered top of the line. That wasn't even including the fact that it was a 100% purity pill!

Bao Bao's mind quickly turned as he tried to think of a way to make as much profit out of this as possible.

After a few seconds, Bao Bao quickly turned to Lin Fan and said, "Sir, if possible, would you mind waiting and letting us hold a special auction just for this pill? I promise that we'll sell it a price that you will be satisfied with."

Lin Fan just shook his head and said, "I want it sold tonight and if you can't do it, I'll take my business elsewhere."

Bao Bao quickly raised his hands and jumped over the pill like a mother protecting her child as he shouted, "No, no, please don't misunderstand. We can definitely sell this pill tonight." Then after calming down, he said with a difficult look, "Sir, it's just that if you're looking to make the most profit off selling this pill, it would be best to delay it. We could hold a special auction and invite guests from many other different cities which would increase the price even further."

Lin Fan just shook his head, "I know how valuable my item is, so I'm aware of what I'm doing. I can let you sell this for me, but there are two conditions that I want you to follow."

Bao Bao knew that he couldn't do anything to change Lin Fan's mind, so the best course of action for him was to obey Lin Fan's terms. It didn't matter what these terms were, as long as they didn't go too far, he could make up for any losses he suffered with just the fame of being able to sell this pill.

Bao Bao then said in a solemn voice, "Mister Fan Lin, please tell me what requests you have. I'll do my best to fulfill them."

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction at this. It seemed like this Bao Bao really was a smart businessman and smart people were the people he liked dealing with the most.

Lin Fan said in a sly voice that made him seem like a fox, "It's very simple, you just need to…"

Bao Bao revealed a look of surprise when he heard these two conditions, but he quickly nodded with a smile as he said, "Mister Fan Lin, there are no problems at all with these two conditions. We will do our best to satisfy your needs."

Then he quickly snapped his fingers and one of his subordinates ran over holding a card in her hand.

This subordinate was a beautiful red headed lady in a fire red dress, perfectly showing off her curves. After handing over the gold card in her hand to Bao Bao, she turned to smile at Lin Fan while also giving him a wink.

Bao Bao also smiled at Lin Fan as he said, "Mister Fan Lin, since you are a special guest of our Treasure Pavilion, please take this VIP Card. This card will allow you to borrow up to ten million crystals to bid on items in our auction house and you can repay us at any time without any interest. At the same time, if there are any items that you wish to auction with us, we will not charge you a fee for auctioning that item."

Bao Bao then gave a snap at the red headed lady and pointed at Lin Fan before continuing with a smile that had an implied meaning behind it, "As well, we will provide special services for you. If you like, Hong Mei here can personally wait on you while you are in our auction house."

The red headed lady was about to move over towards Lin Fan, but then she heard a cold snort and an ice cold chill completely covered her. It was like she had been thrown into a lake of pure ice and she was so cold that she couldn't feel a single part of her body. She couldn't help it as her legs turned soft and crumbled under her, falling to the ground.

The one who had given this cold snort was Angela and she was currently glaring at the back of Lin Fan's head while he had dark lines on his head.

Please he didn't want this either, alright? He was being implicated!

Lin Fan quickly looked at Bao Bao, signaling with his eyes to deal with this situation.

Bao Bao was a businessman with years of experience, so naturally he had his tact. He quickly called two guards this time who helped Hong Mei up and carried her away before saying, "This miss, I'm sorry for being rude. It was all my fault, please don't mind my idiotic mouth."

Angela just gave another cold snort before saying, "Watch that mouth next time, or you'll lose it."

Bao Bao felt a chill run down his spine and he was certain that this woman wasn't just Lin Fan's companion, she was also a supreme expert in her own right. Bao Bao quickly slammed his head on the table as he said, "Yes, yes, it was all this idiot's fault. Miss, please forgive this idiot."

Shame was one thing that one couldn't have when it came to doing business, so Bao Bao's face was thicker than the walls that surrounded this city. He didn't mind degrading himself, it was all worth it as long as he could make a profit out of it.

Angela didn't say a word, she just nodded.

Bao Bao could tell that he had avoided this danger, so he quickly went back to the main topic, "Mister Fan Lin, are you staying for the auction?"

Lin Fan nodded before saying, "I'm a bit curious about what you have here, can you give me a list of your items?"

But surprisingly, Bao Bao shook his head at this, "I'm sorry Mister Fan Lin, but I can't do that. That is one of the special gimmicks of our yearly auction, the fact that no one knows what will be in the auction is what brings everyone back each year. If we were to break this rule, I'm sure Mister Fan Lin could understand…"

Lin Fan fell into thought for a bit before giving a nod, "It's fine, each store has their own gimmick to bring in customers. If I force you to break that rule, it would be breaking the rules of business and I can't do that as a businessman myself."

"Businessman?" Bao Bao asked in a confused voice.

Lin Fan just smiled without saying a thing.

Bao Bao quickly followed up and said, "Understood, understood."

Then he changed the topic as he said, "Mister Fan Lin, since you are staying for the auction, would you please follow me to a private VIP room? We still have two more that are empty and we would be happy to provide you with one of those rooms."

Lin Fan shook his head, "Bring me to Elder Hua's VIP room, she should be waiting for me."

Bao Bao was surprised by this request, but thinking of the two conditions that Lin Fan had put forth, it did make sense.

Bao Bao just asked them to follow him, but before they left, the appraiser asked Lin Fan, "This master, can you please take me as a disciple?"

Lin Fan didn't even turn back as he said, "I don't take disciples." Then he continued forth as he followed Bao Bao.
