Chapter 79

" Candied haws... sweet and fragrant candied haws..." A middle-aged man was selling candied haws, carrying a stand on his shoulder, his tone carrying the authentic Beijing accent.

Nearby was a street lined with lush trees. The sun had already risen, and many elderly people had come to the shade, some practicing Tai Chi, and two old men had set up a chess game and were playing.

Not far away was the West Station of the capital, with large characters clearly visible on a building.

This place was relatively quiet, but the scene at the exit was quite different. The crowd was so dense it could be described as a sea of people. Migrant workers carrying large and small bags, fashionable women holding iPads and wearing headphones... all kinds of people were jostling each other, trying to move forward and leave this place as soon as possible. Taxis were parked nearby, and the drivers occasionally honked to attract passengers' attention.

Wang Tian walked up to a taxi, and the window automatically rolled down. He decided to take a taxi, even though he had the Blue Moon War Chariot in his bag. The roads in the capital were very complex, and the traffic was heavy. There were also shortcuts and small alleys that only local drivers could find the fastest route to the destination.

"Where are you going, sir?" The driver was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face.

"To No. 128, Daxijie, Second Ring Road."

"Sure, please sit tight, let's go..." The taxi took off in a puff of smoke.

It was around 8:30 in the morning, and most office workers had already gone to work, so the roads were not very congested. The driver's skills were excellent, and it didn't take long to navigate through the twists and turns and bring Wang Tian to his destination.

This was a medium-sized pawnshop. The underground auction house, of course, wouldn't boldly write its name. The exterior needed to be disguised, but the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital knew about this place and what it was for.

After paying the fare, the driver drove off in a puff of smoke. Wang Tian walked over, pushed open the glass door, and went straight in.

"Sir, may I help you with anything?" The receptionist smiled professionally, bowed politely, and was very courteous. The people who came here were either high-ranking officials or 'masters.' Her eyes also lit up; Wang Tian's handsomeness left her in awe, and his aura made anyone feel his extraordinary nature.

"I have something to auction here. Please call your manager to see me." Wang Tian said calmly.

The receptionist frowned. Although this young man had an extraordinary aura, not comparable to the so-called young masters in the capital, the manager wasn't someone you could just see. If she disturbed the manager just because of his words, she would likely be fired immediately.

"Sir, I'm sorry, if you have something to sell, we have a dedicated person to handle it." The receptionist said.

"Is this enough?" Wang Tian took out his police ID.

"Alright, please wait a moment." The receptionist's expression changed, and she spoke politely. The words 'National Security Bureau' on the police ID made her take it seriously. The National Security Bureau had a special unit called the Sixth Unit, whose members all had special abilities. Some had an IQ over 200, some could move objects with their minds, and some could bend steel with their thoughts... These people were national treasures. Although the police ID was expired, it could still be used to intimidate.

Wang Tian came here to sell something and had the National Security Bureau's backing, making her believe he was a member of the Sixth Unit. The things such a person brought would definitely be good and highly credible, far surpassing those so-called 'masters.'

The receptionist left, and Wang Tian began to browse the items in the pawnshop. There were many types, including jade, jewelry, diamonds, and some antiques. This auction house also auctioned antiques, where one could often find treasures banned from circulation by the state. The items here were mostly genuine because they had top-notch appraisers.

"Sir, please follow me."

The receptionist led Wang Tian to a quiet VIP room on the second floor and then left, letting him wait inside.

Less than two minutes later, someone came in.

This man was in his fifties, with a square face and wearing a Tang suit, looking very energetic.

"Hello, what would you like to auction?" He spoke very kindly, with no airs, as the more capable a person was, the more refined and cultured they tended to be. Those who were arrogant and quick to anger were just clowns, nouveau riche.

"I want to sell two types of pills." Wang Tian took out 10 Cleansing Pills and 1 Longevity Pill. He didn't want to sell too many, as rarity increased value. Although he had 200 Longevity Pills, he only planned to sell one. If he brought out too many, it would lower their value.

"Pills?" The middle-aged man's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Over the years, the 'masters' who came to sell things here mostly sold blessed ornaments or items for home protection. No one had ever sold pills before, as pills weren't easy to fake. Their effectiveness was easy to verify.

"These are 10 Cleansing Pills and 1 Longevity Pill. The Cleansing Pills can remove impurities from the body and ensure no illness for a year, while the Longevity Pill can extend life by one year." Wang Tian introduced them. He had changed the names of these pills to make them more straightforward and easier for the Chinese to accept.

"These pills sound very good, but their actual effects..." Clearly, he didn't believe Wang Tian.

"My Cleansing Pills can take effect immediately. You can try them yourself!" Sensing his doubt, Wang Tian interrupted him. "However, if they work, your auction house must fully support my auction!"

"Take effect immediately?" The middle-aged man was surprised. This completely exceeded his understanding. In the past, the so-called blessed items sold by masters couldn't be verified. This person claimed his pills could take effect immediately, showing he had absolute confidence in his product. But Cleansing Pills that could remove impurities from the body—weren't these things only found in legends?

But then he thought about it and felt relieved. Members of the Sixth Unit of China were all extraordinary people, and it wasn't strange for them to have things beyond his understanding.

"Do you want to try one? But my pills are very precious. If they work, you must fully support me." Wang Tian said.

"Alright." The middle-aged man made a decisive decision. If what he said was true, getting to eat such a pill for free might be a great opportunity for him.

The middle-aged man directly swallowed the 'Cleansing Pill' Wang Tian handed him. Members of the Sixth Unit wouldn't poison him, and with his powerful backing, no one in the capital would dare to provoke him, so he dared to eat it casually.

Less than a minute after eating the pill, the middle-aged man felt a burning sensation all over his body, and a foul-smelling sweat began to pour out of his pores. His expression changed from doubt to immense joy!

This pill! Being able to eat it was a great opportunity for him! He was deeply grateful. Who wouldn't want a healthy body? No matter how much money or power one had, it was useless if the body was unhealthy. Removing impurities from the body could extend his life. He now truly wanted to treat Wang Tian like an ancestor.
