Chapter. 13. Sky Realm Pills

Yuan Liong knew that the first attempt would be a failure, however, in his heart, he still felt a little dissatisfied.

He somewhat regretted the wasted materials, keeping in mind that every failure in the Alchemy Technique was equivalent to destroying a valuable item.

Yuan Liong's appearance was disheveled, his hair was matted, and his face reflected the fatigue after practicing the Alchemy Technique for five hours, rested for a while then re-gathered his spirits while taking slow and deep breaths, his mood getting better.

Then again repeat the Alchemy process with the second material that has been prepared. The face becomes more focused than before, and with the determination of the heart, as time passes.

Each stage passed, and the gaze of Yuan Liong's eyes became more focused and thorough, after four hours had passed now was the final refining process, the most important stage and a crisis where every little mistake would destroy everything.

Yuan Liong took a deep breath, his face calmed down, and after a quarter of an hour, the crisis stage had passed. Continuing with the pill formation stage, Yuan Liong's hands moved more and more nimbly. It's like playing a very powerful punch, but it's not punching.

The smell of medicine and freshness wafted, Yuan Liong hit the refining pot hard, the Alchemy pot thumped loudly and flew two pill seeds into Yuan Liong's hands.

Very clear and clear pill with a slightly greenish tint. One of these pills has small streaks. Yuan Liong was surprised to see the streak, it was a pill with a pill vein. Pills that had a pill pulse could be categorized as high-quality pills.

It was extremely difficult to produce a pill with a pill vein, out of ten attempts an alchemist could only produce one pill with a pill vein, and even then with a percentage that was less than thirty percent.

Yuan Liong put pills with pill veins into a different jade bottle then he continued his Alchemy Technique with the third ingredient. In the end, Yuan Liong managed to obtain five Sky Realm Condensate Pills with one of them being of high quality.

In the morning before the auction started, Yuan Liong came out of the room. His face was back bright not pale, hair was still left neatly, and the suit had been changed to a newer one. Yuan Liong looked like a parlente Young Master, dashing and handsome.

Grandpa Zhou who was training Nalan Jieruo seemed to see a different person, Nalan Jieruo also stopped her training, looking at Yuan Liong in awe.

“Kid you're getting better? There will be an auction tonight but we haven't got another invitation card for you. This is Grandpa's card, you just use it, you accompany Nalan Jieruo to the auction tonight.” Grandpa Zhou opened the conversation.

“It doesn't matter! Junior still has to recover, now junior will be out for a while on business,” said Yuan Liong.

“Geez! Jieruo'er is coming!” shouted Nalan Jieruo asking to come along.

The girl had missed Yuan Liong so much after not seeing Yuan Liong for two days. So she boldly asked to accompany Yuan Liong today. It was undeniable that the seeds of love had already begun to bloom in Nalan Jieruo's heart.

The auction shop in Xia Yu City looked majestic, with a three-story building and a large main hall on the third level that became an auction venue with several luxurious VIP rooms.

In front of him was a large pamphlet with gold printed letters “Xia Yu City Auction.” The impression of power and abundant wealth will fill the hearts of those who read the writing.

The shadows of a pair of young men and women from a distance seemed to come to the auction building, they were very harmonious, the young man was handsome and dashing while the young woman was beautiful like an angel.

There's nothing surprising about this couple, just a little weird when it comes to a building that's obviously closed again. The auction house has been declared closed and will reopen later tonight when the auction arrives.

“Young master! Sorry, our shop is closed, tonight will be open again during the auction.” The building guard rebuked Yuan Liong, there was no contempt in his every word considering Yuan Liong's very parlent appearance.

“To be honest sir, I don't have any auction invitation cards for tonight. I came this time to do business with great profits for you.” Yuan Liong whispered.

“Please, sir, tell your manager, maybe he's interested,” continued Yuan Liong.

Seeing Yuan Liong's serious expression, the shopkeeper immediately went inside, took a few breaths, and said, “Come on, Young Master! Manager Lei is already waiting inside.” He directly led Yuan Liong and Nalan Jieruo inside.

Nalan Jieruo was astonished by Yuan Liong's behavior, ever since their footsteps were aimed toward the auction building but she just kept quiet. Only now did she ask, “Liong Gege! What will Gege do here?”

"Gege is only doing business, adding a little pocket money is also looking for some information,” answered Yuan Liong briefly.

Manager Lei was already sitting in the living room waiting. Lei Fang was a middle-aged man in a gray suit and covered in a heart-red robe, dashing and luxurious. That's all that can be described from his appearance, with a friendly smile he greets.

“I heard Young Master wants to do business with us! Given the timing of the auction tonight and our numerous activities, we'll get straight to the point ….”

“I don't know how to greet this Young Master either,” he continued.

Lei Fang said and asked directly without further ado. He also asked the maid to provide tea for the three of them.

“Junior is usually called Yuan Liong, sorry for interrupting Manager Lei's time!”

“As for the business, I want to sell something here tonight, is it worth it or not? Please, Mr. Manager, judge for yourself!” said Yuan Liong as he placed the jade bottle on the table.

Lei Fang took and opened the lid of the jade bottle, a fragrant smell spread throughout the room, a refreshing fragrance. He peeked inside, Manager Lei's eyes sharpened, slightly surprised, couldn't believe what he saw, and took the pill out of the jade bottle.

Manager Lei's hands were shaking violently, his face was pale, and a look of disbelief could be seen in his expression, but the look in his eyes showed happiness.

“This … this … this … Sky Realm Condensate Pill!” stammered Manager Lei shouted.

“This pill is not only very suitable but will become a VIP item for the auction tonight ….”

Manager Fei also took out the VIP Token for the auction, it was a gold-colored token, he handed the token to Yuan Liong and then said, “This is the VIP token from our auction house, Now that Young Master is our guest of honor, Young Master can also bring anyone along with Young Master without the need for an invitation card at each of our auctions.”

“Thank you, Manager Lei! But before that, how much did the pill cost?” asked Yuan Liong.

“Heavenly Realm Condensate Pills for the Xia Yu City area are very hard to find, for the past twenty years there has probably only been one, we can see from the number of Sky Realm fighters here that there aren't any. For example, City Lords and Main Family Patriarchs are only at the Peak Stage Earth Realm.” Manager Lei explained.

“For the unit price of this pill, we can value it at twenty-five gold pieces, and for these four pills a total of one hundred gold pieces, three percent of the profit from the sale goes to the auction house,” said Manager Lei.

Both Yuan Liong and Nalan Jieruo who heard Manager Lei's explanation were shocked with joy. “Manager Lei! Please keep this matter a secret and only the three of us know the source of this Pill Condensate!” asked Yuan Liong.

“Young Master need not worry, Customer confidentiality is our primary means.”

The conversation continued for two hours, including Yuan Liong also asking the auction house to seek information about the Book of the Five Yangs and the Three Devils of the South.
