Chapter 40 - Garbage Pills?

The venue for the once-in-a-decade Lake Province Cultivator Auction was a nondescript private house on the outskirts of Changyang City.

  Rather than inside the house, it should be described as underground.

  The great thing about this formation was that when ordinary people entered the wooden door, nothing would change; only cultivators with true qi in their bodies would enter, trigger the formation, and enter the underground auction house.

  The crowd was boisterous!

  The auction hadn't even started yet, and many strong people had arrived one after another.

  At the scene, several hundred cultivators were sitting on chairs, quietly waiting for the auction to start, while some of the cultivators were going to the backstage room of the auction house.

  That was where the auction belonged.

  One thing that every auction house had in common was that before a cultivator participated in the bidding, he could throw his treasures that he valued and wanted to sell to the auction house for them to conduct the auction.

  However, not just any trash would be accepted, what the auction house needed were undoubtedly heavenly treasures and extremely rare items.

  "So many people?"

  When he entered the backstage room and saw the large number of people in front of him, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.

  But after a quick glance, Lin Yi quickly calmed down.

  After all, this was a large-scale auction that only happened once every ten years, so there must have been quite a few cultivators who had accumulated some good things over the years.

  Lin Yi also didn't know if the four pills he had prepared would actually make this auction house take a look at him.

  Inside the large backstage room, there were dozens of tables and chairs, and the treasure appraiser was sitting in front of the table, so any cultivator who wanted to sell something could just sit down and take out their treasure for the treasure appraiser to open his mouth.

  "What? Not accepting? Is there a mistake, I almost lost my life to get this treasure!"

  At that moment, a tall man in his thirties slammed the table violently while glaring at the auction house staff in indignation.

  When it was too late, some murderous auras immediately stared at him in a vaguely threatening manner.

  After seeing the big man's face change slightly, an old man from the auction house smiled and said, "This soft sword you have purchased is indeed a fine magical treasure, but it's damaged in many places, sorry, forgive me for not being able to accept it in our bank.

  Lin Yi secretly smacked his lips.

  When he thought about it, he was right, how could he open an auction house if he didn't have any power?

  However, there were still many arrogant cultivators who couldn't accept the attitude of Lake Province Auction House, and they clapped their hands several times.

  "Your Lake Province Auction House is crazy, right? I really don't want to accept this Soul Condensation Grass?"

  "I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, there's been too much Soul Condensation Grass produced in the past few years, and even before you arrived, our bank had already received dozens of Soul Condensation Grass."

  "What? You don't even want the Nayuan Dan anymore? Didn't we receive it ten years ago?"

  "This year's session is different, let's put it this way, fellow Daoists, we've already received thousands of Nayuan Dan alone."

  This kind of thing happened all around the various discussion tables.

  Even though there were cultivators who were angry, due to the large number of people in the auction house, they could only hold their breath and leave in disgrace.

  However, there were still quite a few treasures that the auction house was happy to accept.

  Feeling that it was almost time, Lin Yi also found a table and sat down.

  "What treasures have you prepared, fellow Daoist? Take them out." The treasure appraiser in front of him was an old man in his sixties.

  And the woman who was secretly following behind him was secretly gossiping.

  Just him?

  This stingy poor guy who couldn't even spare a few hundred dollars to buy a box of Coincidence Ri, what kind of good things could he come up with?

  Lin Yi didn't notice that the woman was secretly measuring herself, so he didn't hesitate and took out a small bottle from his pocket.

  Lin Yi did not put it in the storage ring, this place is crowded, it will inevitably attract the attention of bystanders, the storage ring is enough to make some people's eyes red.

"Pills?" The old man was stunned for a moment.

  It wasn't true that there weren't any elixirs on consignment, it was just that they were basically those rotten, low-quality healing items like the Nayuan Dan.

  Subconsciously, the old man's attitude couldn't help but be a bit more contemptuous as he impatiently said, "Don't bring the Nayuan Dan.

  The woman couldn't help but crow, "Lol, I thought it was something, but it turns out to be a street full of goods like Nayuan Dan.

  Fortunately, she suppressed her laughter and no one noticed her.

  However, at the same time, a young man who was about eighteen or nineteen years old gave Lin Yi a disdainful look before sitting down at the table next to him with a big grin.

  A long knife appeared out of nowhere in the youth's hand, and he said with a cold grunt, "This knife, you estimate a rough price.

  The treasure expert sitting across from him immediately widened his eyes, "This ..., this is ...".

  "Look, it's actually a mid-level magic treasure!"

  At these words, countless cultivators immediately looked in unison, the staff earnestly and carefully examining a long knife that was placed across the table, causing the eyes of the crowd to turn red, itching to kill and seize the treasure!

  This knife was a mid-level magic treasure!

  The bright red short knife used by Lin Yi was nothing more than a low-grade magic treasure that was basically possessed by Qi-Practicing stage cultivators, while mid-grade magic treasures were used by Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, and ... had a price with no market!

  In terms of rarity, if a middle-grade magical treasure fell somewhere else, countless cultivators would inevitably grab it, causing a bloody storm!

  And the cultivator who sold this long knife snorted coldly, arrogance and contempt in his eyes, Lin Yi felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

  "Isn't he ... the little devil Liu Xue from the Shocking Feather Sect? He also came?"

  "I didn't expect that the Surprising Feather Sect would be so willing to shed their blood that they would directly give a mid-grade magical treasure for the little devil Liu Xue to come and participate in the auction to his heart's content!"

  "I'm sure this mid-grade magic treasure should be able to be sold for quite a few cultivation coins."

  Upon hearing these voices, Lin Yi frowned slightly.

  Cultivation coins?

  It seems like that Red Fox really did have something to hide. ...

  As he thought about it, a cold smile appeared on Lin Yi's face, fortunately, he had kept his eyes open and hadn't tried to get any worldly money at all.

  Little Devil Liu Xue looked at Lin Yi and sneered, ''Even trash pills are auctioned off, it's really low enough! It seems that this Lake Province's auction is just like that."

  Upon hearing this, the old treasure appraiser became even more angry with Lin Yi.

  Wasn't this a disgrace!

The old man waved his hand as if to say, "Hurry up and step aside, we are not collecting Nano Yuan Dan."

  "Elder, this is not the Nano Yuan Dan." Being treated like this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but he forced himself to hold back his emotions.

  The elder's cloudy old eyes glared, "Not a Nayan Dan? Then what is it?"

  Saying that, the old man worriedly opened the bottle and roughly poured out a gray-black elixir directly from it.

  A medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air!

  This aroma caused countless people to look at each other sideways.

  "This thick medicinal smell ... is actually a freshly refined and oven-dried elixir!"

  "I just don't know, what kind of Dan is this?"

  Little Devil Liu Xue's face also changed, he had just said that Lin Yi's Dan was a garbage Dan, but now just smelling the medicinal fragrance proved that it was not ordinary!

  This feeling did not make Little Devil Liu Xue, who had become the proud son of the heaven of the Amazing Feather Sect, feel too good.

  The crowd stared carefully at the pill that fell and rolled on the table, the old man was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that it really wasn't a Nayuan Dan!

  And ...

  Smelling the taste of the Dan and seeing the color of the Dan, it didn't seem like a simple commodity.

  The old man's complexion was stunned, and after taking a curious look at it, his eyes suddenly glared!

  "Why, what kind of Dan is this?"

  "How come I've never seen this kind of Dan before?"

  "It doesn't feel right, have you noticed, this Dan vaguely exudes a very strong anger, strange, really strange!"

  Just as the crowd was discussing, Little Devil Liu Xue sneered and said, "What kind of good Dan can you pull off? Oh, pretending to be a god."

  Meanwhile, the woman who was secretly following them had a strange expression on her face.

  She looked at that one elixir and secretly muttered, "What kind of elixir is this ...? I've never seen it before, and I've never heard my master say ..."

  "This ... could be ..." The old man looked at the dan on the table, and his speech was a bit slurred.

  Seeing this, many people were surprised.

  What kind of dan was it that could make a knowledgeable treasure appraiser look so excited that he had trouble controlling his emotions?

  Lin Yi smiled faintly and said, "I wonder, Senior, if the auction house is willing to consign this Dan?"

  "No..." The old man's head shook like a drum.

  Hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter.

  The woman rolled her eyes and despised Lin Yi even more, "I knew it, what good Dan can this guy take out?"

  She didn't say this, instead, the little devil Liu Xue laughed out loud and said, "I thought it was something good, but it turns out to be just a piece of unimpressive stinking shit that was rejected for sale!"

  "No..."

  The old man still shook his head, and the sneers of the surrounding cultivators became even more piercing.

  But the next moment, the old man's words made everyone stop laughing.

  "No ... I ... I don't have the qualifications to judge, hurry! Go quickly and call for Elder Li to come over!!!"

  The old man shouted at the backstage staff beside him with an agitated expression, his hand rigidly guarding the black and unattractive elixir, as if he was afraid that Lin Yi would regret it or that someone else would snatch it away on the spot!

  The crowd's laughter came to an abrupt end.

  Suddenly, the backstage room was silent, everyone was stunned, and there was a deadly silence!
