. After a few playful moments with Little Medical Immortal, Su Yun began his cultivation.
His golden finger offered no direct way to improve his cultivation, so arduous training was his norm.
...…
Overnight, Su Yun took out his alchemy furnace and began refining elixirs.
Now that he had broken through to the Dou Shi level, many of his previous ideas could be put into practice.
If all went well, he envisioned a massive, epic power-up ahead.
He had purchased this alchemy furnace during his time in the Monster Mountain Range.
When he had just left Wutan City for the Monster Mountain Range, he had very few gold coins.
After spending some time there, selling some monster carcasses and magic cores, he managed to scrape together enough gold to buy the cauldron at Miter Auction House.
And that was just for two cauldrons.
Truly a penny can be a tough nut to crack.
Let's put the bitter past aside; from today, Su, no longer poor!
Su Yun removed all the herbs from his system space and placed them in his room.
These were all harvested from the Monster Mountain Range, some of which he had found in that nameless cave.
Su Yun took a deep breath; it was time to get to work.
A week had passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Yun had already refined most of the herbs into elixirs, storing them in specialized jade bottles.
Most of these elixirs were first- and second-grade, with very few third-grade ones and no fourth-grade ones at all.
After all, he had previously only been confined to the outskirts of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, where the herbs needed to refine high-grade elixirs were relatively scarce.
But it was enough.
The profit from these hundreds of elixirs was already considerable.
Su Yun pulled a snakeskin mask from his storage ring and fiddled with it for a moment before a slightly shorter middle-aged man appeared in the room.
He then pulled out a fourth-grade alchemist's robe and donned it. After a few words with Little Medical Fairy, Su Yun headed for the Mitel Auction House.
The Mitel Auction House belonged to the Mitel Clan, one of the three great families of the Jiama Empire.
These three families were vastly different from those of Wutan City, each boasting Dou Wang-level warriors.
And the Mitel Clan was the wealthiest of the three.
Ya Fei in the original novel was from this family.
The Mitel Auction House was not far from his home, and in a moment, Su Yun entered the auction hall.
A middle-aged man approached Su Yun with a respectful expression.
"Distinguished guest, distinguished guest. Master Han Li has come to our Mitel Auction House. How may I help you?"
the middle-aged man asked flatteringly.
Seven days had passed, and the news of Wutan City's certification of a fourth-grade alchemist had spread.
All the powerful factions within Wutan, large and small, knew of the arrival of a great figure in their small town.
As one of the most powerful in Wutan, Mitel Auction House naturally received the news. A
fourth-grade alchemist!
The middle-aged man's heart burned with excitement. Such a status would put him in the upper echelons of society, not only in the remote countryside of Wutan City, but even in the imperial capital. "
If I could win over such a master on behalf of my family, I'd be promoted this year..."
The thought spread, and the middle-aged man's face beamed like a chrysanthemum.
Su Yun was ushered into the VIP room by the middle-aged man.
Su Yun wasn't surprised. A fourth-grade alchemist's special robe couldn't be faked. He'd probably been reported by someone the moment he arrived at the Mitel Auction House.
"I'm here to sell some pills," Su Yun said, taking a sip of tea.
"I see," the middle-aged man nodded.
The middle-aged man wasn't surprised. It was perfectly normal for an alchemist to sell pills.

"I wonder how much you're willing to pay, so I can have an idea."
Upon hearing this, Su Yun pulled out dozens of jade bottles from his storage ring.
These were second- and third-grade elixirs. As for the first-grade ones, while the Mitel Auction House would also accept them, they were of lower quality.
Besides, he had other uses for them…
Looking at the densely packed jade bottles on the table, the middle-aged man raised a brow.
So many!
No wonder Master Han Li came to our Mitel Auction House.
In Wutan City, they were probably the only ones with the financial resources to afford them.
As the head of Wutan City, the middle-aged man's vision was naturally high.
Although the specific types of elixirs couldn't be identified through the jade bottles, it was clear that they were all second- and third-grade.
With such a large quantity, even the three major families in Wutan City wouldn't be able to consume them all.
The middle-aged man opened each jade bottle one by one, carefully identifying the type of elixir.
Su Yun sat aside, calmly sipping his tea, a flicker of regret in his eyes.
Ya Fei wasn't here.
However, after reviewing his memories from his past life, he finally understood the situation.
Ya Fei was exiled to Wutan City because of the passionate pursuit of Mu Zhan, the young master of the Mu family, one of the three great families.
Their affair caused a sensation in the imperial capital, leaving both families in disgrace.
Ya Fei was exiled to Wutan City to avoid the spotlight, and Mu Zhan was driven into the army.
With that date still around for two or three years, it's understandable that they haven't seen each other.
The middle-aged man spent a considerable amount of time counting the dozens of jade bottles.
"Huh, Master Han Li, I've finished."
"Yes,"
Su Yun nodded, finally finished.
"If you wish to sell your elixir at our auction house, we have two options," the middle-aged man said.
"Go ahead."
"One is to auction your elixir at our auction house.
After a period of publicity, set a time, and involve all the powerful forces in Wutan City, big and small, in the process. This method will earn you more gold coins, but it will take longer."
Su Yun nodded.
A single family in Wutan City couldn't possibly buy all his pills, but if all the city's factions were to bid, they could still reap a considerable profit.
The middle-aged man then discussed a second option.
"The second option is to sell your pills to our Mitel Auction House.
I'm sure you're aware of our financial resources. Although we're just a branch, it shouldn't be difficult for us to acquire your pills."
At this point, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a bit proud.
Indeed, of the three great families in the imperial capital, the Mitel family is the wealthiest. With the Mitel Auction House's backing, gold coins are naturally plentiful.
"If you sell these pills to our auction house, I promise not to treat you unfairly. I'll buy them at a price above market, but it'll still be less gold coins than a direct auction."
Su Yun nodded. The auction premium would be significantly higher, but as a fourth-grade alchemist, he didn't care about such a small amount.
If the auction was to take place, publicity would have to be conducted, so that all the major and minor forces in Wutan City would know about the news. He didn't want to wait that long.
"Since the auction house is so sincere, I'll sell these pills to you," Su Yun said to the middle-aged man.
