Chapter 738: Chapter 738 Elixir_1 Chapter 738: Chapter 738 Elixir_1 Greg Jensen and Kiara Rees arrived at the field, where many men and women dressed in various outfits were already standing.
They were either chatting in small groups or introducing their collections to others.
Some simply sat down on the ground, spreading a white cloth on the grass before setting out their items for sale, placing a cardboard sign quietly beside them as they waited for buyers.
Greg glanced around and saw that most of these people had antiques, ancient books, and some decrepit Magic Artifacts.
The fair hosted by the Dean Family was clearly much more upscale than the one in Qin Province.
Greg found a corner for him and Kiara to sit down, then turned his head and asked, “Do we need to do anything else?”
Kiara shook her head, her expression somewhat forlorn.
Greg pulled her into his embrace, gently stroking her long hair, and asked, “Do you just want to escape from an arranged marriage?”
Kiara stared at the ground, her voice soft, “I… I want my family to have a better life.”
Greg thought for a moment, took out several bottles of Elixirs, and placed them in her hands, saying, “Set up a stall and sell these Elixirs for five million each.”
“This…”
Kiara was stunned. The Elixirs Greg had given her this time were the same as last time, eight per bottle, for a total of five bottles.
If sold at five million each, the total would be at least two billion.
Kiara didn't hesitate and immediately refused, “This… This is too expensive, I can't accept it.”
Greg caressed her head, smiling, “If I tell you to sell them, just do it, be a good girl.”
“But…”
“Selling the Elixirs isn't the main goal. I have other plans in mind.”
Kiara didn't know what Greg was attempting, hesitated a moment, but then agreed.
She secured the Elixirs and then went off to find a servant nearby, planning to get some cardboard to make a sign.
Greg watched quietly, a smile always lingering at the corner of his mouth.
He could've just pulled out two billion in cash to help this poor girl, but he knew that money wouldn't be very useful to Kiara.
Because Kiara wasn't alone; to ensure that her family would thrive, it was essential to help her establish a firm footing within the Dean Family.
It was for this reason Greg had given Kiara the Elixirs to sell, wanting to see the Dean Family's reaction first.
Soon, Kiara returned with the cardboard sign she had prepared.
“Greg, do you think this will work?”
Greg glanced casually at it and laughed, “Actually, you don't need to write anything down, just shout out and you'll have plenty of buyers.”
“It's not that easy.”
“Haha, trust me, these kinds of Elixirs sell very well.”
Kiara was aware of the demand for Elixirs, yet she still underestimated how much Martial Artists craved them, especially those that could enhance their powers.
No sooner had she displayed the cardboard sign than two people who noticed it approached.
“Hey, miss, can your Elixir enhance martial powers?”
“Yeah, just for five million, is it for real?”
The conversation between the two was cut short as several others gathered around them.
In a moment, Greg and Kiara were surrounded by a large crowd, three layers deep, attracting almost everyone present.
Kiara was astonished, and it took her a long while to collect herself and timidly start explaining the effects of the Vitality Elixir.
Learning about the amazing benefits of the Vitality Elixir, the crowd grew excited, clamoring to buy it, fearful they would miss out.
“Miss, I'll take all the Elixirs you have!”
“Go to hell, if you take them all, what will we do?”
“I bid 5.55 million per piece!”
“And I'll go to 6 million.”
“Are you crazy? 6 million is almost the price at Healington; would you buy an elixir without any guarantee?”
The person who spoke before lowered his voice and said, “You know nothing, this elixir smells different, I feel it's even better than Healington's.”
“Really?”
“Nonsense, I've consumed more salt than you've eaten rice…”
As everyone was scrambling nonstop, suddenly a car sound came from outside.
Right after, a doorman was heard shouting, “Elder Hu from Healington has arrived!”
Before long, Family Head Christopher Dean and Young Master Calvin Dean, leading an old man, walked over from the distance.
“Ah, Elder Hu is here, let's go have a look.”
“Elder Hu, hello!”
Seeing Elder Hu's arrival, everyone in the garden, including the buyers vying for the elixirs, all ran over to greet him.
Of course, some people remained, fighting to take all the elixirs for themselves.
Elder Hu walked with a steady stride, nodding with a smile, which was seen as a greeting.
The onlookers didn't mind, instead, they felt as if Elder Hu was greeting each one of them personally, and they looked very proud.
Christopher Dean, walking by Elder Hu's side, smiled and said, “Elder Hu, how many elixirs have you prepared for this visit?”
Elder Hu glanced at him and chuckled, “What, the elixirs I sold you last time are used up already?”
Christopher Dean replied with a wry smile, “The Dean Family has a large estate and aspirations on the Martial Way; without Healington's elixirs, it'd be difficult to advance further.”
Elder Hu laughed and said indifferently, “This time I left the valley mainly to investigate the disappearance of two elders.
I did bring some elixirs, but not many, and they're all my personal items, they don't concern the valley.”
Christopher Dean laughed heartily, “Ha ha, understood. Let's raise the price by twenty percent this time.”
Elder Hu's face turned slightly cold as he said indifferently, “Let's talk about the elixirs later; first, let me see if there's anything good this time.”
He's not satisfied with a twenty percent increase?
This Elder Hu is too greedy!
Christopher Dean sighed secretly, feeling very displeased, yet he dared not show it and could only accompany Elder Hu further inside.
The Dean Family had searched for many years and found an alchemist, but they lacked an Elixir Prescription capable of enhancing strength and True Qi.
If the Dean Family could refine strength-enhancing elixirs on their own, why would they need to depend on Healington?
The rest of the Dean Family also felt uneasy, but if the Family Head didn't speak, what could they do?
The group followed Elder Hu to the garden, only to see several people gathered around a pavilion in the distance.
Elder Hu couldn't help but ask, “What are they selling over there?”
A martial artist who had just been competing for the elixir promptly replied respectfully, “Responding to Elder Hu, someone is selling elixirs over there.”
“Elixirs? What kind of elixirs?”
“Apparently something called Qi and Blood Elixir, it's said to increase True Qi.”
Christopher Dean's interest was piqued, and he smiled, “Since Elder Hu is interested, why don't we go have a look?”
“Hmm, let's go have a look.”
Upon knowing Elder Hu had arrived, the few people surrounding the area quickly made way, revealing Kiara Rees inside.
Kiara Rees quickly stood up, greeting him a bit nervously.
