Chapter 204: Pill Saint Gu Zhen Daoist
Sure enough, if she could complete the mission just by buying it.
Xiao Bai wouldn’t have set so many points.
Let’s take it one step at a time. Su Lingxi silently put down the list.
As everyone arrived, the Heaven Wind Auction slowly kicked off.
After everyone was seated, the moonlit gauze curtains hanging from the dome of the Heaven Wind Pavilion swayed gently, and the chandeliers carved from various special spiritual crystals refracted thousands of fine lights.
Illuminating the octagonal stage in the center of the venue as bright as day.
A tall woman in a red dress swayed her hips and walked to the center of the stage.
She smiled, her voice crisp and pleasant. “Distinguished guests, welcome to the Heaven Wind Auction.”
“I am the host of this auction, Yao Yue. This auction has been warmed up in various countries for a long time. I believe that the various treasures on the list will definitely be expected by everyone.”
Yao Yue smiled slightly and clapped her hands gently.
Several etiquette ladies who had been prepared behind the scenes brought a jade box and placed it in the center of the octagonal stage.
“Everyone, without further ado, please welcome our first auction item.”
The jade box opened, revealing a burst of pill fragrance.
The people below sniffed and were attracted by the pill fragrance.
“Everyone, this is a sixth-grade pill, the Heaven Burning Pill. Don’t be fooled by its overflowing pill fragrance. It contains violent fire-elemental energy.”
“The refining process of pills with elemental power is very complicated. This not only requires the alchemist to master the corresponding attributes, but also has extremely high requirements for the level of alchemy.”
As soon as Yao Yue finished speaking, someone among the auctioneers below raised a question.
“It is true that this is a sixth-grade fire-attribute pill, but this kind of pill also has requirements for the user.”
“To take this pill, one must at least be a cultivator who cultivates the fire element.”
“For a native of the Heaven Wind Nation like me, who cultivates the wind attribute, it is absolutely unusable.”
Hearing the question from the person below, Yao Yue smiled slightly.
First, she affirmed the gentleman’s question. “This gentleman is right. This kind of pill does have great restrictions on the user.”
“But why don’t you listen to the origin of this pill first?”
“Oh? Could it be refined by a certain master?” the auctioneer who had just raised the question asked.
“That’s right. The origin of this pill is not small.”
“This is a pill made by the Pill Saint, Gu Zhen Daoist.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was shocked.
“It’s actually a pill refined by Senior Pill Saint Gu. If I can buy a pill of this level, even if I can’t use it myself.”
“But if I resell it, I definitely won’t lose money.”
“The name of the Pill Saint resounds throughout the continent. Even the people of the Demon Realm had to ask him for help back then.”
“It can be seen how high the gold content of the pills he refines is.”
“Hurry up and quote a price!”
Some auctioneers were already unable to sit still and were anxious to bid.
If this deal was successful, it would be a big business.
Su Lingxi sat on the side and didn’t know who this Pill Saint Gu Zhen Daoist was.
She looked at the excited middle-aged man sitting next to her and couldn’t help but ask.
“Big Brother… this little girl is new here. May I ask who this Pill Saint is?”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
What era was this? There were still people who didn’t know Pill Saint Gu Zhen Daoist.
The middle-aged man didn’t intend to pay attention to her.
Seeing this, Su Lingxi had to think of a way.
“Aiya, my veil fell over there, Big Brother. Can you help me pick it up?”
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but turn his head and saw Su Lingxi sitting in the corner without her veil.
The middle-aged man was instantly stunned. Su Lingxi lowered her head slightly and covered half of her face with her small hand, but from the middle-aged man’s perspective, Su Lingxi’s appearance was definitely first-class.
Looking down, Su Lingxi sat slightly tilted, her other hand pressing on the skirt on her thigh.
Under the skirt, her slender jade-like legs were neatly folded to one side, clearly looking like a lady from a wealthy family.
He blushed and hurriedly picked up the veil and handed it over, his attitude becoming enthusiastic. “Aiyo, I’m so sorry, Miss. I didn’t hear you just now.”
“It’s okay…”
Su Lingxi took the veil with the hand that had just been covering her face.
This time difference allowed the middle-aged man to see Su Lingxi’s full face.
The middle-aged man only felt his eyes light up, and his breathing suddenly became rapid. He suddenly felt that even the dazzling flowers in spring among the mountains and rivers were not as graceful as the woman in front of him.
An unprecedented evil thought suddenly arose, and he even wanted to press Su Lingxi down and ravage her.
Coming back to his senses, Su Lingxi had already put on the veil, covering her myriad splendors.
“Big Brother?”
Seeing the middle-aged man staring at her, Su Lingxi waved her hand in front of him.
At the same time, she cursed in her heart. Sure enough, all stinking men are like this.
Because she used to be like this too.
“Oh, oh, Miss, ask whatever you want.”
The middle-aged man changed his face and looked at Su Lingxi with a smile.
Su Lingxi asked, “Then this Pill Saint is…”
Only then did the middle-aged man introduce, “The Pill Saint can be said to be one of the strongest alchemists in our Mortal Realm. He acts strangely, but the quality of the pills he produces is extremely high.”
“And it is rumored that he has a flame that does not belong to the Vermilion Bird Flame, but no one knows what kind of flame it is.”
“Could it be something like the Phoenix Flame?” Su Lingxi asked again.
The middle-aged man looked at Su Lingxi in surprise. He hadn’t expected this beauty to know about the Phoenix Flame.
Even he had only heard about it from some qualified old people.
“No, it shouldn’t be the Phoenix Flame.”
“The Phoenix clan has almost been exterminated. Back then, the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation framed the Phoenix clan with a trumped-up charge, and then they began to hunt down the Phoenix clan.”
“This is not a secret in the Mortal Realm.”
“Uh… I’m getting off topic!”
“Anyway, judging from the situation of the Phoenix clan, if Pill Saint Gu Zhen Daoist were really from the Phoenix clan, he would probably have been hunted down by the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation long ago.”
“But from the current situation, Senior Pill Saint will always release some pills into the market every year.”
“This is enough to prove that Senior Pill Saint is definitely not from the Phoenix clan, otherwise how could he have the leisure to refine pills?”
The middle-aged man said a lot, and Su Lingxi understood.
“So he’s that powerful. Then his pills must be very expensive.”
“Of course!”
Su Lingxi and the middle-aged man’s gazes returned to the stage at the same time.
Yao Yue on the stage began to reveal the price.
“Our Pill Association never inflates prices.”
“Although this pill has great limitations, it is after all made by Senior Pill Saint.”
“So the starting price is…”
“One hundred and fifty high-grade spiritual crystals. Each bid increase must not be less than fifty high-grade spiritual crystals.”
As soon as this price came out, many people were eager to try. If they could buy Senior Pill Saint’s pill at this price, they would make a huge profit.
But this was still the starting price, not the marked price.
