Elder Wang secured the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill for the price of three Dou Ling Pills, and Xiao Li also breathed a sigh of relief. At least it was secured; he could just have Elder Wang consume it later.
The gazes of many powerhouses in the Black-Corner Region simultaneously turned towards Elder Wang and Xiao Li's VIP room. They had largely guessed that the old man who acquired the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill might be a Sixth-Rank Alchemist!
After all, to produce three Dou Ling Pills at once—while Dou Ling Pills are Peak Rank 5 Medicinal Pills—it would be too difficult to refine them without the skill of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.
Even a Sixth-Rank Alchemist couldn't guarantee success in refining a Dou Ling Pill.
However, Elder Wang's success rate in refining Dou Ling Pills was about ninety percent. There was no special trick; it was simply due to extensive practice. Having refined too many, he naturally became proficient.
Elder Wang's success rate in refining Huangji Pills was about thirty to forty percent. If he could advance further, he might be able to Breakthrough to a Seventh-Rank Alchemist.
At Canaan Academy,
"Grand Elder, the Rank 7 Pill was bought by another stranger. Should we intervene?" Wu Tianlang asked.
"Not yet. This voice and Soul aura feel somewhat familiar. Is it that old fellow?" Su Qian said, sounding a bit uncertain.
"Who?"
"An eccentric old fellow who is also very easy to talk to. He is a Sixth-Rank Alchemist. As far as this old man knows, there are very few Sixth-Rank Alchemists in the entire Northwest Continent who would come to join in the fun.
He is one of them. Given his character, he surely wouldn't miss this auction. We'll follow them later to see. If it really is him, then that would be good."
Su Qian had a rough guess. If he was right, then it would be for the best.
"Alright, since no one is competing with this Great Master, then this Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill belongs to this Great Master! Oh, and the owner who auctioned this Elixir said that no matter who successfully buys it in the end, they must unconditionally agree to do two things for him!"
Ye Xuan said. Of course, he knew that Elder Wang would most likely not agree. After all, that Medicine Emperor was only a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, and Elder Wang was also a Sixth-Rank Alchemist. To order the other party to do something, one would need to offer something more valuable.
Ye Xuan didn't care about these things; he only cared about selling the auction items. Anyway, once this auction ended, he would pretty much be returning to his Family. He had stayed in the Black-Corner Region for over ten years and had recruited many new talents here.
He had also earned a lot of money from the auction house, which he could take back to his Family to help them recover.
"Hmm, that's enough, Lier, let's go. We both know what the last item is. Let's just take the Elixir and leave." Elder Wang stood up, preparing to depart.
"Alright!"
Xiao Li also stood up. Leaving early was good, after all, carrying such a treasure as a Rank 7 Pill, there would always be desperate people wanting to kill for it.
At Canaan Academy,
"Tianlang, let's watch the last auction item before we leave, and then go meet an old friend." Su Qian said with a faint smile.
"Yes!"
..."Everyone, next is the last item of our auction, and also the last item of our Xuan Ye Auction House!"
Ye Xuan said with a chuckle. This was also his farewell to the Black-Corner Region. Young Master Ye was about to graduate, having graduated from Canaan Academy's Inner Academy, his Cultivation had already reached the Dou King Rank. Soon, he would be able to return to his Family and begin taking over Family affairs.
Ye Xuan walked to the back and pushed out an exquisite cart. On the cart was a jade plate, and in the center of the jade plate lay two rolls of earthy-brown scrolls.
The scrolls were filled with dense energy. One look and you knew that these scrolls were at least Earth Rank in quality, and the key was that there were two rolls!
"Everyone, please look! An Intermediate Earth Rank Cultivation Technique, the 'Thick Earth Rock Dragon Art,' and its Supporting facilities Earth Rank Low-Grade Dou Technique, the'Stone Dragon Shattering Heavens'! These are a complete set of Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique.
A person who Cultivates such a Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique can not only be invincible among their peers but even fight above their Rank. Everyone, don't just think about it, act! This item still has no reserve price, and the highest bidder wins!"
Ye Xuan's simple introduction of the 'Thick Earth Rock Dragon Art' made everyone in the auction house red-faced and panting like oxen! An Intermediate Earth Rank Cultivation Technique and its Supporting facilities Dou Technique! This set could be said to be a priceless treasure in the Northwest Continent!
"I offer five million gold coins plus one roll of a Profound Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique!"
"I offer four million gold coins plus a complete set of Profound Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique and its Supporting facilities Dou Technique!"
"Our Black Emperor Sect offers two Rank 5 Elixirs!" Mo Tianxing was the first to speak.
"Our Demon Flame Valley offers one Rank 6 Elixir and a set of Profound Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique!"
"Our Heavenly Serpent Mansion offers one Rank 6 Elixir, one Rank 5 Elixir, plus a set of Profound Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique!"
Competition! A naked display of financial power. The established powers of the Black-Corner Region and the powerful force of the Northwest Continent, Heavenly Serpent Mansion, had all made their moves, causing many Loose Cultivators and smaller forces to feel a profound sense of powerlessness.
"Hmph!"
A heavy grunt resounded, making most people in the entire auction house's heads buzz.
"This old man is Demon Flame Valley's Earth Demon! This Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique, this old man wants it. Everyone, give this old man some Face!"
Earth Demon Old Ghost had made his move. He was an old and powerful Dou Zong expert in the Black-Corner Region, his Cultivation unfathomable, and no one dared to provoke him.
The Black Emperor Sect, a local power in the Black-Corner Region, and the Loose Cultivator Old Man Ying Shan, despite their many grievances, were helpless and could only let go.
Elder Huang Xiyue of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion did want this Earth Rank Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique, because she herself happened to Cultivate Earth attribute Dou Qi.
However, she was not Earth Demon Old Ghost's opponent, and after weighing her options, she could only give up.
Ultimately, this set of Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique was acquired by Demon Flame Valley.
At Canaan Academy,
"Grand Elder, why are we just letting Demon Flame Valley take this Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique?" Wu Tianlang said with some urgency.
"It's nothing. If it were that Rank 7 Pill, this old man would definitely bid, but for this Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique, this old man doesn't need to worry, because Earth Demon Old Ghost possesses ice-attribute Dou Qi.
Although this set of Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique is quite high in Rank, it is earth-attributed. Earth Demon Old Ghost cannot Cultivate this Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique, and in the end, he can only place it on a bookshelf and look at it.
Heh heh, Tianlang, let's go. Let's go meet an old friend. I imagine many people are already eyeing the treasures on my old friend's person."
Su Qian stood up and prepared to leave. Wu Tianlang followed behind Su Qian.
On the other side,
"Great Master Huang, these are the items you bid on. Please keep them safe." An Elder of the Xuan Ye Sect, who was a Dou King, carefully packed the items and handed them to Elder Wang.
"Hmm, the items are correct. Lier, let's go." Elder Wang led Xiao Li away.
This time, they only auctioned two items: a Green Underworld Fruit and a Rank 7 Pill, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill!
"Teacher, why don't you just consume this Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill directly? To avoid future complications!" Xiao Li said.
"Hmm? It's best for you to consume this; it's equivalent to having an extra life. This old man doesn't have many years left to live; it would be a waste on me." Elder Wang refused. He chose to bid on this Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill for his disciple.
"But..."
"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's leave first. This Xuan Ye Sect is not a benevolent place; it will most likely trigger several death matches later." Elder Wang was well-traveled. At auctions like this, items that are sold often lead to various skirmishes.
"Okay."
