He was somewhat shocked by the complexity of this Foundation Elixir. Back then, when he saw Yao Lao refine it, he seemed to have felt that it was very simple. Only now did he realize that refining medicinal pills was far more than what he had seen on the surface. The world of alchemists was indeed vast and unpredictable. It was no wonder that it would become the noblest profession on the Dou Qi continent.
Hearing Yao Lao's assurance, Xiao She smiled and said,""Teacher, I'm not going to use the worst Foundation Elixir to cultivate. I'm going to auction it off. I don't have much money right now, so when I get the money, we'll buy better materials. After all, refining Foundation Elixir is just a piece of cake for you.”
"Is that so…Whatever. It wasn't anything strange for alchemists to auction off their own medicinal pills. Moreover, that Foundation Elixir was only the lowest level of cultivation medicine. There was no harm in selling it.”Yao Lao said indifferently after being quiet for a moment. The latter laughed when he heard Yao Lao nod his head in agreement. After packing his things, he anxiously rushed out of the room.
As he did not need any good medicinal ingredients this time, Xiao She only randomly chose the lowest aged Purple Leaf Orchid Grass and Bone Cleansing Flower from the medicinal shop. As for the wood attribute magical crystal, he also bought the cheapest Green Wood Rat magical crystal after a few rounds of investigation. After buying the required ingredients, he found an inn and hid there to let Yao Lao refine the Foundation Elixir.
The Foundation Elixir this time around was not only much weaker than the last time, but even its color had changed from a crystal clear emerald color to a mottled green color. Xiao Yan stored the Foundation Elixir, which was half the size of Xiao She's fist, into the small white jade bottle that he had bought earlier. Only then did Xiao Yan put the jade bottle on his body with ease. He left the inn and swiftly headed to the largest auction house in Wu Tan City.
The Temir Auction House was the largest auction house in Wu Tan City. At the same time, it belonged to the richest family in the Jia Ma Empire: In terms of wealth within the Jia Ma Empire, it was likely that the Temir clan was second to none. The Temir clan had a long history and had already developed in the Jia Ma Empire for hundreds of years. Their relationship could be said to be complicated.
According to some rumors, this extremely wealthy clan seemed to have some relationship with the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Family. In the empire, the Temir clan, the Nalan clan, and the Intel clan were known as the three tycoons of the Jia Ma Empire. The three great clans had a foothold in the empire's business world, military world, and so on. Their influence could not be said to be small. Therefore, with the powerful background of the Temir clan as their backing, no matter how much the profits of the auction house were coveted, no one would dare to have any ideas about them.
Looking at the huge venue at the end of the street, Xiao She turned into a remote alley and quickly put on the black cloak he had bought earlier. The large cloak not only covered Xiao She's appearance, but even his thin body was stuffed until it was bloated. After covering his body, he touched the somewhat cold white jade bottle in his arms and slowly walked out of the alley. Then, he headed towards the auction hall at the end of the street.
Under the vigilant gazes of the few fully-armed guards at the entrance, Xiao She continued to walk in. The moment he entered the clubhouse, the hot feeling seemed to have been stripped away from his body. The cool feeling gave one a strange feeling of being in two different worlds. His gaze swept across the resplendent and spacious hall. Xiao She walked towards the room at the side. On the door of the room, there were three golden words,"Treasure Inspection Room".
Pushing the door open, the room was somewhat empty. Only a middle-aged man was sitting on a chair beside the table. Hearing the door open, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the figure wrapped in a black robe. His brows furrowed without a trace. Soon after, a professional smile quickly appeared on his face,"Sir, are you planning to appraise the treasure?”
"Yes." A dry, old voice drifted out from under the black robe. Xiao She took two steps forward, took out a white jade bottle from his bosom, and gently placed it on the table.
"This is?" Blinking his eyes in confusion, the middle-aged man carefully picked up the white jade bottle and sniffed at the mouth of the bottle. After a while, his expression changed slightly. He looked at Xiao She again with a trace of respect,"Daren is an alchemist?"
"Yes." The old voice rang out once more.
"Excuse me, this bottle... What kind of pill was it? What use does it have?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man asked respectfully again.
"The Foundation Elixir can increase the speed of one's Dou Qi cultivation. However, it can only be used by those below Dou Zhe.”
"Oh? It could increase the cultivation speed of Dou Zhi Qi?”Hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression changed. Dou Zhi Qi could only be cultivated in a normal way. This was common knowledge for everyone. Moreover, the meridians of cultivators at this stage were extremely weak. If the medicinal power was too strong, it would cause the meridians to break and the person would die.
"This spirit liquid of mine has no side effects, and the medicinal effects are extremely mild. It won't cause that kind of result, so you can rest assured.”The elderly voice slowly explained as if he understood what the middle-aged man was thinking.
The middle-aged man's expression changed again. He carefully put the white jade bottle back on the table and said respectfully,"Sir, can you please wait a moment? I need to invite Master Gu Ni from our auction house to appraise the spirit liquid!”
"Okay, hurry up." Waving his hand, Xiao She didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down on a chair at the side and closed his eyes to rest. The middle-aged man hurriedly nodded and hurriedly left the room. Sitting on the chair, Xiao She remained silent. This was someone else's territory, so it was better to be cautious. Who could guarantee that there were no peeping or eavesdropping devices here?
After staying in the room for a long while, the middle aged man once again returned. However, this time, he had brought along a green clothed old man with somewhat white hair. His gaze swept over the old man's body before finally stopping on the old man's chest. There was no golden star drawn there. Instead, there was something that resembled a medicinal furnace drawn there. On the surface of the medicinal furnace, there were two silver colored ripples that flickered with a noble and majestic glow.
"Daren, this is Grandmaster Gu Ni from our auction house. He is a three star Da Dou Shi! At the same time, he was also a grade two alchemist!”The middle-aged man respectfully introduced. Hearing the identity of the old man, the tip of Xiao She's eyebrows under the cloak subconsciously twitched. This was the first time he had met an alchemist other than Yao Lao. He could not help but carefully size up the other party.
The old man's face was red. Although the green clothes on his body appeared ordinary, there was a faint glow flowing within. Clearly, this clothes had been protected by some kind of magical crystal. His ordinary old face had a tinge of arrogance that was difficult to hide. This was something that every alchemist must have. While Xiao She was sizing up the other party, Gu Ni was also secretly sweeping his gaze over the former.
Alchemists were not fighters. Any one of them would be sought after by any force. Therefore, Gu Ni was secretly guessing Xiao She's identity while he was observing him. The middle-aged man carefully picked up the jade bottle from the table and handed it to Gu Ni. Gu Ni took the bottle and sniffed the fragrance. His old eyes narrowed and his pupils flickered.
The mouth of the bottle was slightly tilted and a small drop of green liquid slowly rolled out. After which, it floated in Gu Ni's palm. His eyes stared intently at the green liquid. Gu Ni pinched his fingers and a silver needle appeared between his fingers. The thin needle contained Dou Qi fluctuations as it quietly entered the green liquid and gently stirred it.
As the needle stirred, Gu Ni's expression gradually turned from calm to solemn. A moment later, he put the green liquid into the jade bottle. When he looked at Xiao She again, his arrogant face had a hint of respect. He turned to the middle-aged man and said in a deep voice,"The spirit liquid has already reached the level of a tier 2 medicinal pill. What this lord said earlier is true!”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled at Xiao She and said,"Sir, are you planning to auction this spirit liquid?”
"Hmm, can you arrange the fastest auction time for me?”
"Hehe, that's naturally not a problem. Sir, take this to the first auction room. It just so happens that there's still an auction going on. Your spirit liquid will be auctioned off later!”The middle-aged man smiled and handed over a pitch-black metal plate.
"Yes." Xiao She took the iron plate and left the room under the gazes of the two.
Under the guidance of a female attendant, Xiao She walked into the auction hall that was currently being held. The moment he entered, the bright surroundings dimmed. Waves of noise filled his ears. The auction hall was very large, and it was not difficult to accommodate thousands of people. At this moment, under the light in the middle of the auction hall, a beautiful woman in a red dress was using her charming voice to interpret the function of the item in her hand for everyone present.
Amidst the woman's crisp and soft voice, the price of the ordinary item was rising at a fiery speed. Xiao She found a remote spot and sat down quietly. His eyes swept across the beautiful woman in the field. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that most of the people present were here for her.
Primer Auction House's chief auctioneer: Ya Fei was a beauty that almost everyone in Wu Tan City knew about. Her mature and charming demeanor caused many men to fall for her. Xiao She, who was sitting quietly, suddenly frowned. He turned his head slightly and looked at a man hidden in the darkness not far from his seat.
At this moment, the man's eyes were burning as he looked at Ya Fei on the stage. His hands were moving his cherry red lips slightly as he continued to move his lower body,"This is really too powerful."”
Xiao She moved away and shook his head with a bitter smile. He was obviously a " repeat offender " for being able to do this and not care about the surrounding environment. His eyes swept over the high platform again, looking at the voluptuous and charming curves of the woman in the red dress." She's really beautiful."”
