Right now Zhou Mengyao looks like he is a reborn man, there is qi currently on his body that Yan Suyin can see but it looks like he can't feel it because of his confusion.
'Could it be that this guy already entered the 1st Level of the Absolute Pride of the Azure Dragon? No, this doesn't make sense at all. If reading it will make one be able to enter its first level then something is wrong.'
'Even my ancestors who have gotten this technique from the Azure Dragon's ruins still took some time to enter the first level! Is it just some dumb luck or talent?'
'This doesn't make sense at all but considering that all talented people don't truly make sense then I think this is more of a talent than luck.'
Yan Suyin thought as she looks at him and the qi that she can see circulating inside his body. The qi on his body is comparable to that of someone who is in the third level of the Qi Refining realm.
With the Absolute Pride of the Azure Dragon then he for sure will rise in the future as one of the top experts in the east, even in the central continent.
Its potential is unknown but from what Yan Suyin knows, the amount of qi that one's body can store is higher than one can store than in one's spiritual vessel or dantian.
So in the future, as long as his achievements in the technique are higher then his qi will be so much larger than other cultivators out there, even if they are in a realm that is already considered to be high.
"Here, drink this tea made out of mind-clearing grass. It will help you get out of the grogginess that you are in."
Yan Suyin offered him a tea and he drinks it as he arranged his thought.
'Looks like she also has no idea on what is happening. Also, what is this strange feeling I have on my body? It looks like there is a strange energy circulating in my body and I felt more powerful. Is this qi?'
Zhou Mengyao thought but since he is in the auction house now, there is no way for him to confirm it. He will try to confirm it later, there are still some things that needed to do.
"This time we have a surprise for you who wanted to be an alchemist! Some brave groups have managed to found pill refining techniques! This technique is called the Burning Hand Refining Technique!"
"With this technique, one will be able to control the flames in pill refining more precisely! The bidding price will start at 20,000 spirit stones. Increment should be not lower than 500 spirit stones!"
The MC, still adorned with her enchanting smile showed the martial scroll that contains the technique but it seems that no one is interested in the technique at all.
It is very understandable since the alchemist association has a massive grip on things like this.
"20,000 spirit stones!"
A hoarse voice of an elder can be heard in one of the VIP rooms. One can tell just how angry she is in her tone.
"Haiya, that must be Elder Xie Hualing of the Xie family, I heard that she is also an elder of the alchemist association."
"Better try not to compete with her, it will not be a wise choice."
"Yes, we can't risk it at all. I don't want to get banned from buying pills in the alchemist association."
Due to the prestigious reputation of the bidder, no one tried to fight her at all. It is known to everyone that the knowledge about pill refinings is unique to the prestigious families and the alchemist association.
Now that Tian Family is even trying to auction a pill refining technique, it is only natural for the alchemist association to be offended by it.
Zhou Mengyao thinks differently from them, this is a godsend opportunity to learn about alchemy. He wants to learn the mysteriousness of turning stones into gold and creating pills that can grant immortality.
"Are there no bidders?"
"3"
"2"
"25,000 spirit stones"
Just as the MC is about to close the bids for the item, Zhou Mengyao has put his bid.
'Nice catch little brother! Make sure that this will not fall into the hands of the alchemist association!'
The MC nervously thought since there is no one who at first wanted to bid for it, of course, they naturally wouldn't let it fall into the hands of the alchemist association.
They put someone to bid in there that came from their family in case it will fall into the hands of the alchemist association. Both faction are enemies and Tian Family doing this means that they are challenging the grip of the alchemist association on pills.
"Oh, you dare challenge me? Someone from the alchemist association? Speak which faction you came from, I will ban your faction from buying pills to us"
The elder's threatening voice can be heard by everyone but the crowd acts like they didn't hear it at all. Pills cultivated by the alchemist association are just very important.
They can't lose their chance to buy pills just because of some idiot. The pills that they buy from the alchemist association will help them advance their cultivation and even the healing pills that they can use in the case of emergency is created by the alchemist association so no one with brain is willing to offend them.
'This old hag is retarded, shouldn't you try to fight me with the bidding war first, and then you will threaten me after knowing that it isn't that valuable enough to be worth such money? You aren't proceeding base on the plot at all, you are going rouge.'
Zhou Mengyao thought since he expected her to at least try to increase the price.
"Don't want to say so? Looks like you are already afraid of us, good! If you give me the technique then I might refine you a pill cultivated by yours truly. So you should know what to do."
"Bitch, shut up. With how noisy and talkative you are, I am afraid that the pills that you cultivate have your dirty saliva on them. I don't have fetishes for grandmas."
"Very good! Tell me your name, I will behead you myself!"
"My name is Zhou Mengyao, talk to my grandfather. He might behead you out of kindness."
Zhou Mengyao who likes to be in trouble naturally will not let this old hag go with her low-level insults. As a natural keyboard warrior, he naturally has a very dirty mouth when it came to insults.
"Guests, please remember that this is the auction house. Any use of treats is never allowed so as the representative of the Tian Family, we hereby declare that you never set foot on our auction house again."
This time, knowing that even the Zhou Family is here. The Tian Family will never let this chaos just end here, there is a chance for them to slap the shit out of the alchemist association now that they have also offended the favorite grandchildren of the Zhou Family Patriarch.
"I see, so you from the Tian and Zhou are all in cahoots to drag our reputation down. Very good, see if you are very tough without the alchemist associations support to all of you"
"As if we wanted your pills that have your saliva. I heard that one of your customers died because of a disease transmitted by the saliva, it must have been because of your saliva that he died. A pity that a Core Formation Cultivator died just like that, he has a chance to transcend but because of the disease that infected him, he was not able to resist the changes on his breakthrough. Truly a pity."
Zhou Mengyao brought her number one nightmare, everyone has known of that incident but even then the information is unclear so people think that it is just a malicious rumor but there is some truth mixed with a lie on Zhou Mengyao's statement.
"Hehe, brat I am afraid your grandfather will not be able to meet you from now on.!"
"Guards, send her out!"
Soon the guards escorted her, she might be strong but she is an alchemist. Her strength lies in cultivating pills and the favor that she has gotten from the people that buy her pills.
"You truly love getting into trouble aren't you?"
Yan Suyin said sarcastically, she never expected Zhou Mengyao to have a glib tongue and he isn't even afraid of her threats.
"Why would I be afraid of her? She can go to my grandpa and the thing that he can only do is wash my grandpa's undergarments"
Yan Suyin laughs for a second before thinking about what Zhou Mengyao plans to do.
'Actually, I do have a guard, though I only have one guard. I lied to you because I don't trust you yet but it doesn't matter. Having one or two secrets wouldn't make a difference since she also has her own secrets.'
Zhou Mengyao thought looking at the beautiful smile of Yan Suyin, her breaking her cold character seems to enchant him even more. It seems like the more he looks at her, the more the seed planted on his heart grows.
