Xiao Yan quickly spent all the money from the last purchase of materials for refining the Foundation Essence, and as time passed, the required amount of materials kept increasing while time became increasingly urgent.
This made Gu Yunzhi sigh incessantly, realizing that cultivating a strong member of the family required such a huge investment of funds, and this method did not seem to be a long-term solution.
She thought of the plot in "Battle Through the Heavens," where Xiao Yan seems to meet Yafei from the Mittal family, the chief auction official.
Should she let Xiao Yan meet Yafei? Even if she doesn't, even if she can avoid this time, the subsequent plot is bound to appear, because Xiao Yan must refine elixirs to earn money.
auction has always been a good place to earn a large amount of money.
Gu Yunzhi couldn't help but sigh. In the end, there was no result between Xiao Yan and Yafei anyway, right?
But she thought for a moment and still felt uneasy, so she decided to discuss it with Xiao Yan and medicine master first.
Xiao Yan and medicine master were quite supportive of Gu Yunzhi's proposal.
At first, Xiao Yan was a little surprised by how Gu Yunzhi's thoughts coincided with his own. He also felt the terrifying impact of the capital injection. In fact, this proposal was already a plan in his mind, because if he continued to spend like this, Xiao Yan would never be able to repay the money.
After the three of them made up their minds.
So, Xiao Yan went to the street market to buy the necessary materials. He casually picked some of the cheapest and lower-aged purple perilla and boneset at the herbal medicine store. As for the wood attribute magic crystal, after comparing several options, he purchased the lowest-grade green wood rat magic crystal.
Carrying the purchased materials, Xiao Yan found an inn and hid in a room to have the medicine master refine the Foundation Essence.
This time, the Foundation Essence's medicinal power is much weaker than before, and even its color has become noticeably mottled, no longer the previous crystal-clear emerald green.
Xiao Yan knows that all this is due to the low quality of the materials.
He carefully put the Foundation Essence into a small white jade bottle and left the inn, heading to the largest auction house in Utan City.
On the road, he encountered Gu Yunzhi. Seeing Gu Yunzhi dressed in a black cloak and a white veil covering her face, completely concealing herself, Xiao Yan was momentarily unable to recognize her.
Until Gu Yunzhi pulled down the hat and revealed a familiar face, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "I'm going to the largest auction in Utan City, are you coming with me?"
Gu Yunzhi nodded and replied, "Yes, I've already changed into my outfit." She threw a black cloak to Xiao Yan and instructed him to let Medicine Master speak for him later, otherwise it wouldn't be good if the Mittal family investigated.
Two people went to an auction together.
Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi slowly walked out of the alley, heading straight for the auction at the end of the street.
As they approached the entrance to the auction, several heavily armed guards vigilantly watched them, but Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi walked through the guards' encirclement without hesitation and entered the venue.
As soon as I entered the venue, the magnificent hall with its golden splendor came into view. Xiao Yan scanned the room and headed directly towards a nearby room. On the door of that room, three shining words "Treasure Appraisal Room" were written.
Pushing open the door, the spacious room only had a middle-aged man sitting bored at the table. Upon hearing the door, he looked up and saw two figures in black robes walking in, one taller and the other slightly shorter.
His brows furrowed slightly, but quickly a professional smile appeared on his face as he asked, "Sir, miss, are you here to appraise treasures?"
"Um," came the dry and seasoned voice from under the black robe, surprisingly that of the medicine master.
They took two steps forward, and Xiao Yan took out a white jade bottle from his arms and gently placed it on the table.
"May I ask, what is the name of this potion... and what are its effects?" the middle-aged man asked respectfully again.
"This is the Foundation Essence, which can increase the cultivation speed of practitioners of Qi of Fight below the fighter level."
"Oh? Increase the cultivation speed of Qi of Fight?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but show some emotion upon hearing this. Usually, the cultivation speed of Qi of Fight is fixed, which has almost become common knowledge.
Moreover, during the training stage below fighter, the meridians of the practitioner are very fragile. If the medicinal power is too strong, it can lead to meridian rupture, even endangering life.
"My spiritual liquid has no side effects, the medicinal power is very gentle, and it will not cause the kind of consequences you are worried about. You can rest assured," the dry and seasoned voice seemed to understand the middle-aged person's concerns, and explained slowly.
After listening to this explanation, the middle-aged person's expression changed again. A cultivation elixir that won't cause any side effects must be extremely precious. It's known that only a very powerful alchemist can produce such an elixir.
Therefore, he carefully placed the white jade bottle back on the table and respectfully said, "Sir, may I ask for a moment? I need to invite the chief master of our auction house to come and identify this spiritual liquid."
"Mmm, come back as soon as possible," Xiao Yan waved his hand, unceremoniously sat down on the nearby chair, and then closed his eyes to rest.
After a moment of waiting, the middle-aged man reappeared in the room with a slightly white-haired old man in green clothes.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the old man and finally settled on the emblem on his chest. There was no depiction of a gold star, but rather a pattern resembling a medicine cauldron. The surface of the cauldron was adorned with two silver ripples, exuding a noble aura.
"Sir, this is our master Gu Ni from the auction house. He is a three-star Dou Zun and also a second-grade alchemist!" The middle-aged man introduced respectfully.
Upon hearing the identity of the old man, Xiao Yan's eyebrows beneath the cloak couldn't help but raise slightly. This was the first alchemist he had encountered besides the Medicine Master, and he couldn't help but carefully size up the old man.
The old man's face was glowing with red light, and his plain blue clothes seemed ordinary, but they faintly flowed with radiance, clearly indicating that the garment had been blessed with some kind of magic crystal. On the ordinary face of the old man, there was a kind of prideful expression unique to alchemists.
When Xiao Yan carefully observed the old man, Gu Ni was also secretly observing Xiao Yan.
An alchemist is a rare profession, and every time one appears, it becomes the object of competition for major forces to win over. Therefore, while Gu Ni was examining Xiao Yan, he was also silently speculating about his identity.
The middle-aged person carefully picked up the jade bottle from the table and handed it to Guney...
Guney, who took the white jade bottle, gently sniffed the fragrant scent, squinted his old eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Tipping the bottle slightly, a drop of green liquid slowly rolled out and suspended in his palm.
As the fine needle stirred in the spiritual liquid, the appraiser's expression gradually changed from calm to solemn. After a moment, he carefully collected the spiritual liquid back into the jade bottle and looked at Xiao Yan again, with a hint of respect added to his previously proud face.
He turned to the middle-aged man and said in a deep voice, "This spiritual liquid has reached the level of a second-grade elixir, completely in line with what this esteemed person has said, without error!"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man visibly breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly smiled at Xiao Yan, saying, "Sir, when do you plan to auction this bottle of spiritual liquid?"
"Well, the sooner the better," Xiao Yan responded.
"So, sir, you take this to auction room number one. The auction is currently underway there, and your spirit liquid will be able to be auctioned off immediately!" The middle-aged man smiled and handed Xiao Yan a piece of pitch-black iron plate.
"Okay." Xiao Yan casually took the iron plate and, without pausing, left the room under the gaze of Gu Yunzhi. Guided by a female attendant, the two of them headed towards the bustling and extraordinary auction venue.
"Wait for me a moment," Gu Yunzhi suddenly said, then she took out a half mask that was ready, put it on her face, as if she had made up her mind about something, and finally took off the black robe.
