Today’s pill success rate was still seventy percent, and after giving five to Jin Cengran, two were left over.
She didn’t use these two elixirs, so they were perfect to sell.
Gu Qing looked at the bundle of paper Gu Zhiqi handed over and fell silent.
After a few seconds of silence, with a very complex expression, Gu Zhiqi asked, "You’re actually using this stuff to wrap Restoration Pills?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded and glanced at it, "Isn’t that obvious?"
Gu Qing raised her hand and slapped her forehead, "Can’t you find a porcelain bottle or a pill box to put them in?"
Wrapping them so carelessly in a tissue could affect the drug efficacy – how bad is that?
Back in Yueqi Village, when she was refining medicine for Yun Yan, she made seven pills, gave three to Yun Yan, two more to Tang Yun, and the remaining two went into her storage bracelet when she moved.
Last time she visited Heavenly Domain Pavilion and met alone with Gu Qing, she thought it pointless to keep them and gave two pills to Gu Qing to be auctioned off.
At that time, they were packed in a plastic bag, which Gu Qing disliked, telling her to use something different next time.
So this time, she used a tissue instead, and yet she was still met with dislike and was told to switch to a porcelain bottle or pill box.
Are porcelain bottles and pill boxes free?
Gu Qing, listening to Gu Zhiqi’s response, slightly twitched the corner of her mouth, took the tissue bundle, and patiently convinced, "This way of wrapping really affects the drug efficacy."
Gu Zhiqi: "I don’t have money to buy a porcelain bottle."
If you’re out of money, then there are no rich people in the world!
Gu Zhiqi continued, "Besides, the efficacy is all locked in. As long as they don’t encounter water, it won’t be affected."
"Alright, alright, suit yourself," conceded Gu Qing, indicating she couldn’t convince her otherwise.
After taking the tissue bundle, Gu Qing then turned to Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Did you come here just to deliver the medicine today?"
"I wanted to have a look around," Gu Zhiqi replied, lifting her eyes to Gu Qing, "Can you take me around?"
"Sure," Gu Qing replied.
After that, Gu Qing took Gu Zhiqi on a tour around Heavenly Domain Pavilion.
The Heavenly Domain Pavilion building was very spacious, with a total of five floors. The first floor was the auction hall; the second floor featured a double-loop corridor design with two circular corridors. The central ring of the second floor led to twenty private rooms, with doors facing the corridor and windows facing the showroom. The rooms on both sides of the outer corridor, both facing inward and outward, were employee office areas.
The staircases for the office area and the private rooms are separate.
The private room area staircase only leads to the second floor, whereas the staircase in the office area leads all the way up to the third, fourth, and fifth floors.
The third, fourth, and fifth floors are all storerooms.
Each staircase entrance is guarded by someone in a security uniform, and Gu Zhiqi could tell that these guards were all Ancient martial artists. Some of these Ancient martial artists had Vital Energy that was contained within, while others had Vital Energy that was external. Their Cultivation Levels were all fourth-order and above. The guard stationed at the entrance to one floor was at the Fourth-order Primary Stage, and the guards at the second and third floors were at the Fourth-order Middle Stage. Two Ancient martial artists at the peak of the fourth-order guarded the fourth-floor staircase.
Clearly, whether ordinary people or Ancient martial artists below fourth-order, none could forcefully ascend the floors; they could only proceed to the next level after successfully swiping their card at the staircase.
Each person’s card had set permissions; the basic employee permissions only reached the third floor, while Gu Qing’s card permissions reached the fourth floor.
According to Gu Qing, very few people could go up to the fifth floor.
However, Gu Qing still gave Gu Zhiqi a rundown on the situations of the fifth floor, also a storeroom.
It’s said that the items on the fifth floor were much more precious than those on the third and fourth floors. As for how much more precious, Gu Qing couldn’t specify to Gu Zhiqi, because she herself had never been there. She mentioned only that unless there was a sufficiently heavyweight and mysterious auction item received, they would go to the fifth floor to fetch items.
Of course, aside from the stairs, there was also an elevator, which also required swiping an access card.
