Chapter 50: Miteer Tengshan's Request

Chapter 50: Miteer Tengshan's Request

Stepping out of the private room, Gu He stood at the doorway, looking up at the slightly dim sky. He sighed deeply, then turned to head towards a lounge in the auction house.

"It's better to get the money from the auction and the purchased items first," Gu He muttered to himself as he walked.

Entering the lounge, Gu He handed his VIP card to a maid. After explaining his purpose, he was respectfully ushered in.

"Please wait a moment, sir. The auction is about to end, and our staff will assist you in settling the auction items shortly," the maid said, placing a cup of warm tea on the table next to Gu He before gracefully exiting the room.

Nodding slightly, Gu He held the teacup in his hands and took a sip.

With closed eyes, Gu He tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically. After a considerable amount of time, footsteps suddenly approached from a distance. Gu He gradually stopped tapping his fingers.

Opening his eyes, Gu He looked towards the lifted curtain where Miteer Tushan, accompanied by two maids, walked in with a smiling face.

Nodding faintly, Gu He spoke softly, "Has the auction concluded, sir?"

"Hehe, it ended successfully," Miteer Tushan nodded with a smile. His gaze subtly swept over Gu He without leaving a trace. Waving his hand, the maid behind him quickly lifted a silver tray. On the tray lay a purple-gold card with seven different-colored ripples.

The seven-ripple purple-gold card was a qualification only possessed by Dou King powerhouses on the Dou Qi Continent. Of course, there were exceptions, and a Fifth-Rank alchemist also qualified for such a status.

"Alchemy King, the total price of your Dou Spirit Pill at the auction is six million gold coins. Deducting ten percent auction fees, you have remaining five million four hundred thousand gold coins," Miteer Tushan said, squinting his eyes with a smile. "The Fire Spirit Mushroom cost one million two hundred thousand, and the fifth-rank demonic beast egg cost two million gold coins. The final amount you have is two million two hundred thousand gold coins, all in this purple-gold card. And the items you purchased are in this storage ring."

Miteer Tushan gestured, and the maid handed the silver tray to Gu He. On the tray were a seven-ripple purple-gold card and an ordinary storage ring.

Taking the card and ring, Gu He carefully inspected the Fire Spirit Mushroom and the fifth-rank demonic beast egg in the ring before taking them out and placing them into his own storage ring.

"Now that the items are in hand, I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell," Gu He said, rising to leave.

"Hold on, Alchemy King."

"Hehe, Alchemy King, please wait. My family head has a favor to ask. If Alchemy King doesn't mind, could you meet and chat with our family head?" Miteer Tushan suddenly smiled and said as Gu He was about to leave.

Hesitating for a moment, Gu He finally turned back and resumed his seat.

Seeing this, Miteer Tushan understood that Gu He had agreed to his request, revealing a pleased expression. He bowed respectfully to Gu He and said, "I'll trouble Alchemy King to wait for a moment. I'll go and fetch our family head."

After saying that, Miteer Tushan turned and left the room.

A moment later, faint footsteps approached, and an elderly man with graying hair walked in.

"Miteer Tengshan pays respects to Alchemy King."

As the old man entered, he smiled and greeted Gu He with respect.

Gu He looked up and said straightforwardly, "I wonder why you've asked me to stay, sir?"

Miteer Tengshan hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke, "I wonder, Alchemy King, can you refine an elixir that increases lifespan?"

An elixir that increases lifespan? Gu He was slightly stunned. Could it be that this guy has little time left?

Miteer Tengshan looked at Gu He, his expression revealing a hint of unease.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu He spoke calmly, "There is, of course, an elixir that increases lifespan."

Upon hearing this, Miteer Tengshan was overjoyed and quickly asked, "What is this elixir called? Can Alchemy King help me refine one?"

Gu He hesitated for a moment and replied indifferently, "I know of an elixir called the Qingming Longevity Pill. After taking it, you can increase your lifespan."

"Qingming Longevity Pill..."

Miteer Tengshan muttered to himself before continuing to ask, "I wonder, what rank is this Qingming Longevity Pill?"

Gu He glanced at him and answered, "It's a Sixth-Rank elixir."

Sixth-Rank elixir!

Upon hearing this, Miteer Tengshan's face revealed a hint of astonishment, followed by a struggling expression. Tentatively, he asked, "Then, may I ask, after taking the Qingming Longevity Pill, how much lifespan can be increased?"

Gu He calmly said, "After taking it, you can increase your lifespan by ten years."

"Ten years!"

Hearing Gu He's words, Miteer Tengshan was once again surprised, and then a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

"I wonder if Alchemy King can refine a Qingming Longevity Pill for me?" Miteer Tengshan looked at Gu He with some expectation, his tone carrying a hint of request.

Since the disappearance of the Miteer family's elder, Ice Emperor Haibodong, the Miteer family had fallen into an extremely awkward situation.

Since its establishment, the Miteer family had primarily focused on business.

For many years, the Miteer family had accumulated immense wealth, proudly claiming the title of the wealthiest family in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

However, the issue lay in the fact that despite possessing such vast wealth, the Miteer family lacked a powerful force to guard it.

As the saying goes, the innocent will not be harmed, but those who possess treasures will bear the consequences.

Currently, the Miteer family resembled a piece of fat meat, targeted by various forces.

Especially the royal forces, which had long coveted the wealth of the Miteer family.

As long as Ice Emperor Hai Bodong still stood guard over the Miteer family, no one dared to have any ill intentions towards them.

But ever since the disappearance of Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, the Miteer family lost its strongest support. With such wealth at their disposal, the Miteer family naturally became a thorn in the eyes of various forces.

Even in many cities, there were attempts to push the Miteer family to establish branches of Miteer Auction House.

Because of this, the Miteer family had no choice but to set their sights on some remote cities.

Even the small city of Wutan became one of the choices for the Miteer family.

Currently, the entire Miteer family relied solely on Miteer Tengshan to sustain itself.

Although he was listed among the top ten powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire, his strength was the lowest among them.

Moreover, he was aged, with limited talent, destined to remain at the Dou King level for the rest of his life.

With no outstanding talents emerging within the Miteer family, Miteer Tengshan had to plan for the future of the Miteer family.
