Flame Venerable Won't Let People Down
Hearing that Xiao Yan took out a Seventh Grade Pill, and one that could temporarily increase a Dou Zong's strength, some people who were determined to get it instantly wilted.
"Emperor Power Purple Pill!!" Xiao Yan's words immediately caused a stir, and everyone looked at Xiao Yan.
Even some of the powerhouses in the Black-Corner Region, the heads of large forces, were taken aback. This was a Seventh Grade Pill! Some people had never even seen a pill of this level in their entire lives.
Although the Bodhi Transformation Saliva was very precious, it was, in the end, just a peak Seventh Grade natural treasure, just some scraps from the Bodhi Tree.
Generally speaking, a Seventh Grade Pill could be exchanged for Eighth Grade Medicinal Herbs, natural treasures, or even an Earth Rank intermediate Cultivation Method.
But that was only in principle. In fact, generally speaking, if you had an Eighth Grade main ingredient, unless the Alchemist really needed it, you usually couldn't exchange it. However, a Seventh Grade Pill could be exchanged for anything you wanted at any time, unless you were exchanging one for two or offering an exorbitant price.
For example, using a Rank 6 High-Level Pill to exchange for a Rank 7 High-Level Transformation Grass, there would definitely be a lot of people willing to exchange with you. Even if you weren't an Alchemist, if you went to the Alchemist Guild, they would treat you like a sucker and exchange with you.
But if you wanted to use Transformation Grass to exchange for any Rank 6 High-Level Pill, then sorry, even if it was the average market price, no one would be willing to exchange, unless you used two Transformation Grasses to exchange for one Rank 6 High-Level Pill.
So, the market price of Bodhi Transformation Saliva should actually be a peak Sixth Grade Pill, such as the Sect Breakthrough Pill, which was how Ya Fei initially estimated it.
However, if you considered the information possibly hidden behind the Bodhi Transformation Saliva related to the Bodhi Tree, then it might be higher, but definitely not too high, because everyone knew that this was just a scam.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yan, thinking he was too crazy. Just to not waste time, he was overpaying so much! What could be more crazy and wasteful than this!
Those who had prepared several Huangji Pills, or even Earth Rank intermediate Cultivation Methods and secret techniques, were immediately silenced and wilted, because they knew that as long as Mo Tianxing wasn't stupid, he would want the Emperor Power Purple Pill.
And at this time, Mo Tianxing's somewhat surprised appearance also explained everything. He was very satisfied with this Emperor Power Purple Pill.
Of course, if he knew that Xiao Yan had once given Ling Ying an Emperor Power Purple Pill for free, it was unknown what his mood would be.
"Are you going to bid?" Xiao Yan slowly looked at the other VIPs in the surrounding VIP seats. At this time, some peak Dou Huangs and Dou Zong powerhouses had extremely ugly expressions.
Although they could come up with a Seventh Grade Pill if they bankrupted themselves and exhausted everything, it was obviously not worth spending so much for the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, a body-tempering natural treasure.
"Okay, if there are no higher bidders, let's leave it at that." Xiao Yan said lazily, lying on the long sofa.
Hearing this, Ya Fei smiled lightly, closed the brocade box, and slowly sat down.
Xiao Yan's arrogant attitude was frustrating. Although there were many people and many Alchemists present who wanted the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, it was too crazy to buy it back with a Seventh Grade Pill or a higher price! It wasn't worth it! Just as the Seventh Grade Pill was closed, Mo Tianxing beamed with joy. Before he could speak, an old voice was heard, "Young man, don't be too arrogant. This old man is determined to get this Bodhi Transformation Saliva."
"This old man also has a Seventh Grade Pill."
At this time, in the VIP seat opposite Xiao Yan, an old man with a hooked nose and gray hair slowly stood up, also taking out a jade box.
Xiao Yan glanced at him. Ya Fei had told him that this person was a reclusive Dou Zong powerhouse in the Black-Corner Region. During the auction just now, he had won a volume of Earth Rank intermediate dark attribute Dou Qi Cultivation Method, named Eagle Mountain Old Man.
Slowly opening the jade box, a rich colored fragrance of pills poured out from the jade box, and a round pill appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the Reversion Pill, suitable for Dou Zongs below five stars. It can save a life. As long as your head isn't directly chopped off or your heart shattered, you can still live." After saying that, Eagle Mountain Old Man's eyes showed some reluctance. He could also use this pill, and it could be considered a life-saving charm.
"No, no, no." Xiao Yan smiled and said lightly, "You have to be clear, the pills I refine are not the pills refined by those nobodies. The Seventh Grade Pills I refine are refined using Strange Flame, and the quality of the pills is even perfect. If you offer an ordinary quality pill, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
As Xiao Yan said, pills weren't all the same just because they were refined. Quality was also very important.
For example, this Reversion Pill could restore injuries, but different strengths of people needed different medicinal power to restore different injuries. It was impossible for a nine-star Dou Zong to be seriously injured and a one-star Dou Zong to be seriously injured, and the medicinal power needed to restore the injuries to be the same.
The higher the quality of the pill, the stronger the recovery speed and strength. If it was a Reversion Pill refined by Xiao Yan, it should be able to restore Dou Zongs below seven stars. If a one-star Dou Zong used it, it could probably save a life even if their internal organs were shattered.
When Xiao Yan broke through to Seventh Grade, he had refined Reversion Pills himself, and he could tell at a glance that the quality of the Reversion Pill in Eagle Mountain Old Man's hand could only be said to be average, not top-grade.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone felt that it made sense. After all, the Pill Lightning attracted by Seventh Grade Pills also had strong and weak points.
Mo Tianxing looked at Eagle Mountain Old Man, his eyes seeming to say: Are you going to raise the stakes? Of course, Mo Tianxing hoped that there would be more competition.
But! Before Eagle Mountain Old Man could even speak, Xiao Yan let out a sigh and said leisurely, "I'm too lazy to haggle with you. Reversion Pill, right? I'll add another Reversion Pill."
"It's just a Seventh Grade Pill, do you need to treat it like a treasure?"
Xiao Yan was sitting there leisurely, relaxed and at ease, making it impossible to believe that such a sky-high price was being quoted from his mouth.
Who adds their own price! Xiao Yan took out another brocade box from his Storage Ring and handed it to Ya Fei, who couldn't help but glare at him. She had worked so hard to save a little money, and he had wasted it all with a single sentence of 'I'm too lazy to haggle with you'! However, Ya Fei didn't say anything, and slowly opened the brocade box to display a pill that was exactly the same as Eagle Mountain Old Man's Reversion Pill, and even more perfect in terms of shape and fragrance.
Eagle Mountain Old Man was so angry that he vomited blood. He had finally obtained a Reversion Pill, and he couldn't bear to eat it himself! Now, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared, and what made him vomit blood even more was that he had actually doubled the price himself! "This, this is too crazy!" Everyone was dumbfounded, and many people gasped. Such a price was simply like madness. It could be said that it was completely not worth it!
"Seventh Grade Alchemist is amazing!"
"Seems like it really is amazing"
Countless people smiled bitterly. Alchemist was truly the most noble profession on the Dou Qi Continent.
At this moment, all the buyers present, whether they were big shots sitting in private rooms or reclusive powerhouses hidden in the shadows, were watching Xiao Yan. Even if they didn't know Xiao Yan was a Seventh Grade Alchemist, they understood that someone who could casually take out two Seventh Grade Pills was definitely not simple.
"Hmph, you're so generous buying things for Little Fairy Doctor, but you still want to charge me for Medicinal Herbs when I ask you to refine pills!" Zi Yan muttered in a small voice from the side, feeling a bit sour. What kind of person is he? He used to skimp on my Medicinal Herbs, but now he casually takes out two Seventh Grade Pills.
Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face flushed slightly as she glanced at Xiao Yan beside her. Undeniably, the way Xiao Yan spent money for her was indeed very handsome.
Xiao Yan exchanged a glance with Little Fairy Doctor, then coughed lightly and said, "Zi Yan, you ungrateful little girl, I've given you several Rank 7 High-Level Pills already. One Rank 7 High-Level Pill is worth more than a dozen low-level ones."
In the end, Eagle Mountain Old Man's face was extremely unsightly, and he gnashed his teeth, but he was still helpless. He had emptied everything he had on him, and it still wasn't enough, so he slumped into his chair.
At this point, he had no choice but to give up bidding. He simply couldn't afford such a price. What else could he do but give up? He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yan bid for the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.
Unsurprisingly, and without needing to ask further, Mo Tianxing knew that no one else could offer a higher price. This was completely beyond his expectations.
However, he wasn't that happy at this moment, and his eyes couldn't help but show some suspicion. It wasn't just him; some people present also had some thoughts in their minds.
Because Xiao Yan's opening price was too high, it made them suspicious.
That was: why Xiao Yan was willing to buy the Bodhi Transformation Saliva at such a high cost.
"Father, this Bodhi Transformation Saliva... could it be that he knows something we don't?" In the backstage, Mo Tianxing and Mo Ya looked at the Bodhi Transformation Saliva in front of them. They hadn't yet traded with Xiao Yan.
"I don't know. It's also possible that he's just generous, after all, he himself is a Seventh Grade Alchemist." Mo Tianxing wasn't sure either. Some Alchemists were indeed very generous.
But this couldn't help but make him suspicious, after all, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva wasn't just an ordinary body-tempering material.
The connection with the Bodhi Tree was indeed something the Black Emperor Sect had exaggerated. In reality, that wasn't the case, otherwise, he would have taken it himself to find the Bodhi Tree.
But, what if there was something they didn't know? In fact, they were overthinking it. Xiao Yan's Bodhi Transformation Saliva had nothing to do with the Bodhi Tree.
Mo Ya's eyes narrowed instantly, revealing a sinister look, and he said in a deep voice, "Father, how about we replace this Bodhi Transformation Saliva?"
Mo Tianxing pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Do you think you can deceive a Seventh Grade Alchemist?"
"If he finds out, the Black Emperor Sect can't afford the wrath of a Seventh Grade Alchemist."
Mo Ya was immediately unconvinced and said, "Then are we really just going to trade with him like this?"
About half an hour later, Mo Tianxing, Mo Ya, and an Elder of the Black Emperor Sect arrived in the VIP seat where Xiao Yan was.
Mo Tianxing held the Bodhi Transformation Saliva with both hands and said with a smile, "Hehe, sorry Xiao City Lord, we were delayed by some matters."
Xiao Yan swept his Soul Force over it and smiled slightly. This was indeed the Bodhi Transformation Saliva. The Black Emperor Sect didn't dare to swap it out or cut corners.
Xiao Yan nodded to Ya Fei, and two brocade boxes were handed to a Rank 6 Alchemist of the Black Emperor Sect. After inspecting them, the Alchemist nodded, confirming that there were no problems with Xiao Yan's pills.
After receiving the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, Xiao Yan was just about to leave when Mo Tianxing said, "Wait, Xiao City Lord, I wonder if Xiao City Lord can refine the Sect Breakthrough Pill? I can provide Medicinal Herbs for five portions of the Sect Breakthrough Pill, and regardless of the success rate, I only need one pill."
"Not interested." Xiao Yan waved his hand dismissively and left without looking back with Little Fairy Doctor and the others. For such a small price, he would never refine pills for them.
Seeing Xiao Yan being so uncooperative, Mo Tianxing's face became somewhat gloomy.
"My Black Emperor Sect indeed can't afford the wrath of a Seventh Grade Alchemist, but..." Mo Tianxing suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.
"Sect Leader's meaning?" Qi Shan, the Black Emperor Sect Alchemist beside him, said in a low voice.
"Let's see how things go first. Xiao Yan has quite a few strong people around him, especially that white-clothed girl. Although I can't see her strength, she's definitely not weak."
"Now that so many people are watching him, perhaps we can wait until they're both injured before making a move." A hint of coldness flashed across Mo Tianxing's eyes as he slowly said, "Since this kid refuses a toast, then don't blame this old man for being ruthless."
Hearing this, Mo Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his head and looked at the place where Xiao Yan and the others had disappeared, his eyes also flashing with a hint of resentment and jealousy.
Not long after, Xiao Yan and the others had returned to the inn, and instantly sealed off the entire space with Soul Force.
At this time, Ya Fei, seeing Xiao Yan reveal a sneer as he looked at the box containing the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with this Bodhi Transformation Saliva?"
Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, there's nothing wrong with the Bodhi Transformation Saliva. The problem is with this box."
"The box?"
"Mo Tianxing left a very subtle tracking mark on this box." Xiao Yan couldn't help but sneer. This mark was indeed very subtle; even a normal Rank 7 Low-Level Alchemist might not be able to detect it.
However, Xiao Yan's Soul Force had reached the Spirit Realm! "What should we do then? Can it be removed?" Ya Fei asked.
"Why remove it? Ya Fei, you know I never like to disappoint people. Since they think there's hope, then I should be merciful and give them hope, not extinguish it." Xiao Yan revealed a meaningful smile.
If they were smart and didn't provoke him, then Xiao Yan would let it go, but if they treated him like a pushover, then Flame Venerable would have to show them what cruelty was! Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Ya Fei couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
Zi Yan, bored, gnawed on Medicinal Herbs, sat on a chair, and swung her feet as she asked, "What are we going to do now?"
"Have a little compassion, give them some time to think, let's deal with that lump of meat first." Seeing Zi Yan, Xiao Yan simply decided to deal with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race's dried corpse first.
Hearing that Xiao Yan wanted to deal with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race's dried corpse, Zi Yan immediately became interested and laughed, "Hurry, hurry, I'm also very curious."
Zi Yan had naturally never eaten a Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race member, but her bloodline had some vague memories and feelings.
With a thud, Xiao Yan took out the huge dried corpse from his Storage Ring, and immediately a stench came, drawing everyone's disgust.
This Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race is really ugly and smelly.
