Chapter 165

Seeing that Hu Guzhu did not believe him, Gu Yao explained with a smile: "Ye Dage (Big Brother Ye) was stranded here from another cultivation continent. He had already formed a golden core, but when he passed through the spatial rift, he had to save his life and his cultivation fell back to the beginning. He started from scratch again, but his previous experience was still there. As long as he accumulated enough, it would not be too difficult for him to form a golden core again."

"Right now, Hu Guzhu needs the blood ruby fruit more. Hu Guzhu came here peacefully, but I'm afraid it won't be peaceful on the way back. If Hu Guzhu succeeds in forming a golden core in our academy, then the careful arrangements of others will be wasted."

Hu Guzhu's expression also became solemn. He was so devoted to alchemy that he even neglected the valley affairs and his only grandson, but he also saw the changes in the continent's situation in these years. The appearance of the Cangkun secret realm was an accident for the continent and the city lord's mansion. Without this accident, it would be rare for a golden core cultivator to appear on the continent.

As someone who could refine the Heavenly Origin Pill, would he, Hu Ting, not become a thorn in the eyes of some people?

The little fatty was anxious. He didn't dare to imagine his grandfather being surrounded by people on the way back. The alchemists in Cuiyan Valley were not like Gu Yao. They were very weak in fighting.

Chi Changye persuaded again, "If Hu Guzhu feels uneasy, why not do this? After Hu Guzhu forms a golden core, he can start refining pills again. Maybe he can refine a middle-grade pill. Then I will reserve one. How about it?"

Hu Guzhu looked at their expressions and finally gritted his teeth and said yes, then I will accept your kindness."

Gu Yao smiled and said, "Little fatty is like a brother to us, and Hu Guzhu is our elder."

Hu Guzhu smiled with relief. If outsiders knew that these two people had given him a blood ruby fruit, they would wonder what they thought. They would probably think that these two people were crazy.

These two juniors acted quite unexpectedly, and he didn't expect Chi Changye to have such a background. This could also explain why he was so remarkable.

After Yu Dean knew their decision, he sent Hu Guzhu into the academy's secret land to close up. There were formations there to protect him, and they also had a certain weakening effect on the thunder tribulation. He had succeeded in forming a golden core there back then. The conditions in Cuiyan Valley were not as good as their academy.

It would be very beneficial for the Heavenly Mansion Academy if Hu Guzhu could form a golden core. Yu Dean knew that Cuiyan Valley owed the Heavenly Mansion Academy a great favor this time.

Three days passed, and the auction of the Heavenly Origin Pill began. It was not a formal auction, so there was no need to take it to the auction hall and make a big fuss. It was in the main peak's reception hall of the Heavenly Mansion Academy. Several forces sat down together, took out the Heavenly Origin Pill, and then reported their prices. The highest bidder got it.

Some people cursed Yu Dean secretly. He didn't make any noise usually, but he was very cunning at the critical moment. This time, the Heavenly Mansion Academy became the biggest winner. But they cursed in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their mouths. Because if Yu Dean didn't do this, most of these pills would fall into the hands of the city lord's mansion, and they would be the ones who would suffer.

"Hu Guzhu really closed up, it seems that Hu Guzhu has gained a lot from refining pills this time."

Not seeing Hu Guzhu appear, everyone guessed, but they saw that Yu Dean's words were not excuses.

The master of the Tianhai Sect came personally, and also brought Tian Feiyang. The Tian brothers met and naturally had a good time. The master of the Tianhai Sect was determined to get one of the Heavenly Origin Pills.

Yu Dean didn't waste any words after he came, and went straight to the point: "Let's start. You are in a hurry, and I want to get rid of it as soon as possible, so that my ears can be quiet for a moment."

Everyone smiled kindly, but when Yu Dean took out the first Heavenly Origin Pill, everyone's faces sank.

"Five Heavenly Origin Pills, the first three are from the first furnace, and the last two are from the third furnace. The quality is all low-grade. Let's start."

Everyone knew that although the two furnaces of pills were all low-grade pills, there were also some differences in the quality of the low-grade pills. The quality of the latter furnace of pills was obviously better than the previous one. Everyone except cursing Yu Dean for being cunning could do anything else? So they just started bidding after a slight pause, and the price rose steadily.

Gu Yao and the others watched from the side, seeing these big shots blushing and thickening their necks, without any demeanor of a master, they were shocked. Sure enough, alchemists make money fast, oh right, they have to be alchemists with a high success rate, just those materials are also valuable.

The first Heavenly Origin Pill was finally taken by the Tianhai Sect, and the master of the Tianhai Sect breathed a sigh of relief. Although the second furnace was better, he had to get one first. What if he couldn't get it later? The master of the Tianhai Sect was sweating on his forehead.

It had to be said that the Tianhai Sect still had some foundation.

Ruan Dazhangzhu sat behind Elder He and transmitted his voice: "Elder He, why did you stop at the end? You could have grabbed it." Ruan Xinhui was his daughter, so Gu Yao didn't know, but Miss Ruan didn't come, but her father did.

Elder He stroked his beard and said calmly: "I am aiming for the last two. If Ruan Dazhangzhu wants it himself, he can participate in the auction."

Ruan Dazhangzhu moved his mouth, but finally gave up. Although he had amassed a lot of wealth by using his position, he was now comparing sects with sects. How could he compare with the power of the whole sect no matter how much wealth he had?

Ruan Dazhangzhu secretly regretted that he had let his daughter act spoiled last time, and he had offended Gu Yao, a new alchemist. It might not be the most important thing to offend Gu Yao, but Hu Guzhu was also standing behind Gu Yao.

The other cultivators also saw the intention of the master of the Tianhai Sect, so the competition for the second and third Heavenly Origin Pills became more intense. Although there were not many people, the atmosphere in the reception hall was about to lift the roof. One by one, the big shots, more than blushing and thickening their necks, they simply wanted to roll up their sleeves and fight, and let the loser give up.

The last one fell into the hands of the Beixing Sect, and one went to the Qianxue Sect. This result surprised the other cultivators. Who would have thought that the Qianxue Sect would quietly come up with such a large amount of wealth? They usually didn't show any signs of it. It seemed that they underestimated this sect.

The representatives of the other forces who didn't get it were very disappointed. There was even less chance for the remaining two, but it didn't mean that there was no chance at all. As long as Hu Guzhu was still there, and the materials for the Heavenly Origin Pill were not used up, there was still a chance to get the Heavenly Origin Pill. Thinking this way, they felt a little relieved.

The situation of the last two made people laugh and cry. They were originally fighting internally, and they didn't give in to each other. They made people think that they had a feud. But at this moment, they united tacitly, as if they wanted to bite the city lord's mansion. They raised the price one higher than the other.

In their view, even if the city lord's mansion was rich and powerful, so what? They couldn't let them get it easily. They had to make them bleed heavily, and it was better to let the Heavenly Mansion Academy benefit than to let the city lord's mansion take advantage of it.

"Two million spirit stones!" The master of the Qixing Sect gritted his teeth and reported this price. After reporting it, he almost collapsed on his seat.

In fact, the Qixing Sect had to empty the entire sect to raise this amount of spirit stones, but they were unwilling to see it fall into the hands of the city lord's mansion. At least they could dig out some more spirit stones from them and feel more comfortable. Every time the Ascension Conference was held, how much wealth did the Longxian Sect people take away from the continent?

Ruan Dazhangzhu was not happy, and jumped up and cursed: "Can you Qixing Sect afford two million spirit stones? Yu Dean, don't you have to check their assets first? Otherwise, we have to doubt that you are deliberately driving up the price."

This price was almost twice as high as the previous Heavenly Origin Pill. Did they really take the city lord's mansion as a fool? He suspected that the surname Yu was colluding with these guys, and they were in cahoots.

Seeing that the city lord's mansion was unhappy, the master of the Qixing Sect regained some blood, raised his eyebrows and retorted: "How do you know that we Qixing Sect can't afford it? If we take it out, is this Heavenly Origin Pill ours?"

"I don't believe it! Unless you show the spirit stones!" Ruan Dazhangzhu clearly looked down on the Qixing Sect, and Elder He sat there calmly, letting the surname Ruan scold and curse.

"Ruan Dazhangzhu, please calm down. We have reached an agreement with the Qixing Sect. This time we will fully support the Qixing Sect in competing for this Heavenly Origin Pill. If Ruan Dazhangzhu gives up generously, the old man will be very grateful." A manager of a business association came out and bowed his hand to Ruan Dazhangzhu with a smile, then took out a storage bag on the spot, containing a million spirit stones.

"You…" Ruan Dazhangzhu almost choked. He didn't expect these two parties to join hands. He couldn't accuse them of breaking the rules, so he had to turn his head and look at Elder He.

Elder He's expression sank a bit at this time. It seemed that they had to bleed heavily or get nothing this time. These guys really rebelled and dared to go against the city lord's mansion! He narrowed his eyes and said: "Two million and one hundred thousand!"

"Two million and two hundred thousand!"

Every time they raised the price, Gu Yao, Tian Feiyang, and the little fatty felt their hearts tremble. Chi Changye was calm, and this price was high? He had participated in auctions where the spirit stones were not calculated by low-grade spirit stones, but by ten thousand and one hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones. So the present one was just a small scene.

He believed that there would be no shortage of middle-grade spirit stones in the Longxian Sect's territory. By the way, he and Gu Yao had gained a lot in the Cangkun secret realm, and there was another source, which was the storage bags of the Longxian Sect disciples. There were a lot of middle-grade spirit stones in them.

They stopped at two million and five hundred thousand, and the Qixing Sect gave up. Although they didn't get the pill, they felt happy when they saw the other party's Elder He and Ruan Dazhangzhu's pale and painful faces.

Yu Dean sat still, looking calm, but if someone observed carefully, they would find that when he finally settled down, his hand also trembled. The Heavenly Mansion Academy was poor in the past, and there was a lot of profit from the Qingchen Pill that Gu Yao gave to the academy. Now suddenly there was such a large income, and he couldn't bear the feeling of sudden wealth.

Of course, the reward for Hu Guzhu had to be paid, but the Heavenly Mansion Academy still had a lot left. So, this time, it should be no problem to pile up two golden cores with spirit stones.

"Ahem, fellow daoists, please be quiet. There is one last Heavenly Origin Pill left. Those who are interested, please bid."
