Seeing this person's att.i.tude, Mo Xie sighed: "You must have been working very hard, I need to talk to any of your highest managing people."
The appraiser frowns: "Do you think your useless recipe couldn't be appraised by someone like me?! Hmmp! You're thinking too much of your item, our Auction Hall's elders has no time for it, if you don't want it appraised, then, you can just go away and sell it to other people instead!"
The tone of the arrogant, something Mo Xie didn't want to use nor to hear. Mo Xie's lips crept up as he looked at the appraiser: "I will be selling Ancient Pill Recipe, a complete recipe of hundreds of thousands of years ago, here, appraise it for me, if you can't..."
Mo Xie didn't continue his words, he merely smiled at the appraiser.
The appraiser looked at Mo Xie and trembled as his eyes met his. The pure black pupils of Mo Xie sent s.h.i.+vers run down his spine before he gulps down a mouthful of saliva before trying to calm himself.
"Hmmp, what kind of barbarian can get their hands on an Ancient Pill Recipe!" The appraiser chuckles as he picked up the paper and started reading it.
Pill Recipe appraising can only be done by pill concoction experts because one needs to combine the properties of the medicine inside their head to conclude the effects of such a pill.
And if a stupid idiot does appraise it, well...
At first, the Appraiser's face looked smug but then, as he read the description, sweat started to appear all over his body.
"Well? Do you even understand a quarter of it? How about a tenth?" Mo Xie looked at the appraiser as he chuckles.
The appraiser looked at Mo Xie, yes, he couldn't even understand a tenth of it, he stood up before kneeling on the ground: "Deepest apologies, I couldn't see mt.t-"
Before he could even finish his generic words, Mo Xie cut him off: "Just call your supervisor, I need to talk to him now."
"Y-yes!" The appraiser spoke trembling, he then added: "Y-young expert, about the matter earlier..."
Mo Xie nods his head: "Yes, yes, you have a sick mother, you have children to feed, you have a wife waiting for you at home, now get your supervisor."
The appraiser nodded repeatedly and immediately entered the room, after a while, a person started to walk out in a rushed yet calm manner.
"Young expert, are you the one that brought the ancient pill recipe?"
Mo Xie nods his head, he placed the recipe again and let the newly arrived appraiser check up on the recipe.
The Appraiser's expression slowly stiffens as he froze on the spot, his gaze moves from the recipe and to Mo Xie: "This... young expert, where did you get this?"
"Oh? The Alchemist a.s.sociation Auction Hall probes into other people's private business?" Mo Xie smirked, based on the library within the Alchemy a.s.sociation that has knowledge of even the higher plain, all of Mo Xie's pill recipes had been long gone extinct and had been swallowed up by the pa.s.sage of time.
Mo Xie immediately held a lot of plans for his knowledge, and right now, the Alchemy a.s.sociation is part of it.
The Elderly Appraiser frowns, his greed can be seen within his eyes, but the recipe lacks three vital ingredients, if he forced someone out of it, he'll definitely receive the ire of the upper management.
He maintained his composure and replied: "Young expert, It is not that I wish to keep this recipe, I was merely startled by it. How about instead of selling it to the auction house, I purchase it directly?"
Mo Xie chuckles, he has at least 1,000 mortal recipes on his mind, he only regrets that he didn't get many more to sell in the low-level plains.
Mo Xie smiled and replied: "No, I want it auctioned instead."
The Elderly Appraiser's frown deepens: "Think about it for a moment, if you sell this item to me, you will get a favor from me, but if you don't... The consequences will be hard for you to imagine, young expert."
Mo Xie chuckles: "Are you threatening me?"
The Elderly Appraiser chuckles: "You aren't worth me making some troubles for you, with a mere flick of my fingers, I can let a whole kingdom hunt you to the end."
"Now young expert, why not sell it to me instead? I will give you a hundred gold taels for it."
"A hundred gold taels." Mo Xie couldn't help but chuckle: "How about this, I will give you three seconds to p.i.s.s off and call someone higher than you."
Mo Xie isn't really that worried about the pill recipe, but what he hates the most is others having malicious intentions over him or something of his.
The Elderly Appraiser chuckles, he crumbled the piece of paper before burning it to smithereens before he started to walk inside the room again: "Good, good, get out of my Alchemy a.s.sociation now, you aren't welcome here anymore, not now, and not in the future."
Mo Xie sneered: "Your words represent the Alchemy a.s.sociation?"
The Appraiser chuckles: "If I say so, then that is the rule you must adhere to."
"Is that right." Mo Xie smiled, although it's not his style, he immediately walked out of the Auction hall and made his way to another room.
The Elderly Appraiser sneered: "b.u.mpkin."
He then looked at his subordinate: "Bring two of my subordinates and kill that fool as soon as he leaves the Alchemy a.s.sociation's territory, loot everything he has and bring it back to me!"
The lowly appraiser shuddered, he could see the clear greed within the Elderly Appraiser's eyes, he couldn't reject the order and replied: "Yes, it will be done!"
Mo Xie, on the other hand, has no plans to leave right now, his Mo Family does not have enough power to contend against the Alchemy a.s.sociation's power, but that doesn't mean he has no measures to counter it.
But then again, his only feud is against an elder from the Alchemist a.s.sociation, not the organization itself.
Mo Xie made his way towards the mission board, there are seven levels in the mission board, from the lowest F grade to the highest S grade. But there are usually two more hidden levels, SS grade, and SSS grade.
Mo Xie asked an attendant: "Is there a mission higher than the S grade?"
The attendant that Mo Xie asked was shocked, she didn't think that Mo Xie would request such a thing, but then again, the head of their a.s.sociation specified that if someone asked for it, they will bring it out.
But why? Because only a few that handled or had given something like that will know the existence of the SS and SSS grade, they are people that dealt with S grade ranked board missions and completed it.
Mo Xie's words caused the surrounding people to be shocked as they looked at Mo Xie, a youth not older than 20 years old is actually requesting such a thing? They couldn't help but sneer at such a thought.
"What's that kid even thinking? Higher than S grade? Does he even know how hard an S grade mission is? And he's even asking for something harder?!" A mercenary scowled loudly, clearly not hiding his mocking tone.
Of course, the others didn't forget to insult as well.
"An S rank mission usually gets completed once or twice every year, sometimes, there would be a whole decade that it wouldn't even be done, now, a brat that still smells of his mother's milk is asking for something higher?"
"Hahaha!"
The others jeered and added more and more insult as they laughed. These people aren't ones that complete any high-risk missions, they merely choose to do some low-level ones like gathering herbs, hunting demonic beasts for their cores, sometimes, there will be an escort mission to escort a disciple out of the Alchemist a.s.sociation to a place to gather some resources.
These mercenaries live their way through the mission board, the weakest are Earth ranked cultivators while the strongest is at the Heaven Encompa.s.sing rank.
Mo Xie sighed and ignored them, the attendant smiled wryly as she looked at the clueless people, she then took out three books: "Young expert, these are three books containing SS grade missions, you can take your pick."
Hearing the attendant's words, everyone became silent, the jeering noises and the commotion they had caused immediately died down. But what gave them something to fret about is Mo Xie's following words.
Mo Xie shook his head: "Something higher."
Now, even the attendant became speechless, still, she woke up from her daze and took out another book, this time, the book only has half of it filled.
"These are requests from the Grand Elders, Supreme Elders, and the a.s.sociation Master of our Alchemy a.s.sociation, there are even requests from the higher plains. This is the highest grade of the mission our group possesses."
Mo Xie nods his head, he took the book and immediately looked at all the details, there are at least 18 missions from the Alchemy a.s.sociation, and there's even a mission from a place called "Myriad Earth Abyss".
Mo Xie smiled, he looked at the attendant and spoke: "I'll take this book now."
"T-that, you mean that you'll take all of the missions?" The attendant spoke with an ashen face.
Mo Xie smiled: "Yes, don't worry, I`ll bring it back once I'm done."
The attendant shook her head: "No, no, it's just a book, we have a hundred copies of that around our Alchemy a.s.sociation."
Mo Xie smiled as he nods his head: "Then I'll be taking my leave."
The attendant bowed her head deeply as she spoke: "I hope that you'll be successful in your grand endeavor great expert."
Mo Xie smiled and made his way out. As soon as he did, the mercenaries started to gather at the attendant: "Miss, what's that all about an SS and SSS grade mission?"
The attendant looked at them with a smirk: "You guys..."Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Seeing her smirk and her fierce eyes, the mercenaries felt fearful, just the two words she uttered sent them completely terrified of what's to follow.
