Zhao Li left the Pill Sect and hurried straight towards Danyuan City!
Zhao Li returned to the city. Looking at the still bustling streets, he wandered around casually, then found a carriage service in Danyuan City. He bought a carriage directly and headed towards Qingzhou City.
Zhao Li wasn't planning to return home on this trip down the mountain.
Qingzhou City, in terms of size, wasn't a particularly notable city within the Great Qian Empire. However, because it was backed by the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, relying on the mountain for sustenance, it was incredibly prosperous and could be considered a large city in the Great Qian.
There were three major families in Qingzhou City, each with several Great Dou Master level powerhouses holding down the fort. The three families had some friction with each other, but none could truly suppress the others.
Several days later, Zhao Li arrived at Qingzhou City. Before even entering the city, he could see people coming and going, either inviting others to form teams to hunt magical beasts, exchanging Magic Cores and Medicinal Ingredients for things they needed, or seeking help for injuries...
Looking at the bustling scene, Zhao Li thought to himself, Although Qingzhou City relies on the Myriad Beast Mountain Range and attracts countless people here, most of them are doing dangerous work, living on the edge. It's not easy.
Zhao Li entered the city and asked someone for directions to the Auction House, then headed straight there.
Looking at the massive building before him, Zhao Li followed the crowd. Seeing the vigilant guards at the entrance and their attire, Zhao Li understood that this Auction House should belong to the Qian Family of the Great Qian Empire. He didn't pay it any further attention; after all, he was just a Rogue Cultivator from an unknown place looking to find treasures.
Entering the Auction House and seeing the spacious square before him, Zhao Li asked the guiding maid, "If I want to auction something, where do I consign it?"
"This way, honored guest." The maid heard him and didn't ask further questions, simply leading the guest towards the consignment area. She naturally understood that to live a stable life, one must keep their curiosity in check and focus on doing what they should, not seeing, asking, or saying anything else.
Zhao Li followed behind her. After several turns, they arrived in front of a private room.
"Honored guest, you can have anything you wish to auction appraised here first. If the quality meets our standards, our Auction House will arrange the auction." After speaking, she knocked on the door. Hearing a response, she motioned for Zhao Li to enter on his own.
Zhao Li pushed the door open and looked at the woman before him. She wore a cheongsam that perfectly showcased her exquisite figure. A hint of snow-white skin peeked through the dress, exuding a unique allure.
As Zhao Li gazed at her, seemingly unable to tear his eyes away, Qian Le'er was also observing the handsome young man. He seemed curious about everything, and she could see a hint of clear foolishness in his eyes.
Zhao Li didn't know any of this. Since he was using an alias, not only should his appearance be different, but ideally, his personality should be vastly different as well. Didn't he see Li Feiyu, who committed murder and arson, and Han Tianzun, who was revered by thousands? Zhao Li had already decided to portray himself as a naive disciple who had just come down the mountain and was unfamiliar with the ways of the world, showing the same demeanor he had when he left his hometown alone for university in his previous life.
Zhao Li took out a bottle of Second-Grade Meridian Opening Pills from his Storage Ring, stepped forward, and asked, "Pretty sister, I wonder if these can be auctioned?"
Qian Le'er glanced at them and asked, "Could you tell me what effect these Pills have?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Li said, "These are Second-Grade Pills, Meridian Opening Pills. They have the effect of refining the Meridians. After taking them, a thin membrane is formed, allowing narrow Meridians to withstand more violent surges of Dou Qi. In this process, the narrow Meridians gradually adapt to the rapidly circulating Dou Qi, becoming more resilient and wider, improving cultivation talent to a certain extent and accelerating Dou Qi cultivation. They are extremely effective at the Dou Disciple level and even have some effect at the Dou Master level!" As Zhao Li spoke, his face was full of pride. After finishing, he added in his heart, Although the effect is minimal.
Hearing this, Qian Le'er's delicate body trembled. A hint of shock appeared on her charming face, and her red lips parted. There was a trace of unconcealed excitement in her captivating voice, "Is what you said true? Can this Pill really improve talent? Please wait a moment, I'll ask Master Aobaniu to appraise it."
"Okay, make it quick," Zhao Li nodded, looking at the woman before him who resembled a ripe peach.
Qian Le'er suppressed her excitement and went to find the Alchemist within the Auction House. As she walked, her figure swayed, full of charm.
Although Zhao Li had no desire, he wasn't shy either. He watched openly, enjoying the feast for his eyes. This sister is really something.
After letting his mind wander in the room for a while, Qian Le'er soon led a middle-aged man in.
Zhao Li didn't look closely at her. His eyes immediately went to the badge on the middle-aged man's Alchemist robe. Seeing the two silver waves in the Medicine Cauldron, he understood.
"Honored guest, this is Master Aobaniu from our Auction House. He is not only a Great Dou Master powerhouse but also a Second-Grade Alchemist," Qian Le'er introduced to Zhao Li.
Zhao Li noticed that when Qian Le'er introduced his identity as a Second-Grade Alchemist, her expression showed pride. Zhao Li chuckled inwardly.
Zhao Li placed the medicine bottle on the table. "Please trouble senior to examine this bottle of Pills and appraise their value so they can be auctioned."
Aobaniu picked up the medicine bottle and poured out a Pill. He released his Dou Qi, attaching it to his hand, and sniffed it, roughly discerning the medicinal properties. Then he used his Soul Power for a detailed perception. After a moment, a hint of respect appeared on his face. "These Pills are indeed Second-Grade. As for their specific effects, I believe what this young brother said is true."
Hearing this, Qian Le'er's tense expression dissipated, leaving only excitement. She asked, "Please wait, senior. I will immediately add this bottle of Pills to the auction list for Auction Hall Number One. Would you like to come and see?"
Second-Grade Pills, regardless of their effect, were sought after everywhere, let alone Pills that could improve cultivation talent, which were even more extraordinary. How many people struggled their entire lives, accumulated some savings, and might be reluctant to spend money on themselves but were completely generous for the sake of their descendants?
"Let's include this bottle too. It's also Meridian Opening Pills," Zhao Li took out another bottle. This one had been prepared for Zhao Li by Lin Lan. Since he didn't need it anyway, he would auction it off together.
"Little brother, do you have more of these Pills? I'm willing to purchase a batch from you separately at the final auction price," Qian Le'er looked at Zhao Li taking out another bottle, guessing that perhaps these Pills were refined by him. She spoke, probing.
With the effect of these Pills, perhaps she could also break through to Dou Master faster and return to the Imperial Capital sooner. Moreover, these Pills could also significantly improve the strength of the younger generation in her family, which would be a great contribution to the family.
Hearing this, Zhao Li's heart stirred. This was a good opportunity for a transaction. However, when he spoke, he flirted playfully, wanting to tease the beautiful sister. Then, lowering his head, he mumbled loudly, "What little brother? We're completely innocent; how can you slander me like that?"
