17: The terrifying attraction of Danwen, the hot auction!
At the same time, as Lin Yan was immersed in improving himself, a heated auction was in full swing at the Alchemist Association.
Thanks to the Alchemist Association's tireless promotion over the past few days, not only were many Congenital Realm and Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Great Yan Dynasty alarmed, but countless Cultivators from several surrounding Dynasties also rushed over.
Perfect Grade Qi Blood Powder, Congenital Pills and Qi Refining Pills with Pill Patterns—these were simply too enticing!
Who would be willing to Cultivate arduously when they could increase their Cultivation without any side effects using just one Medicinal Pill?
At this moment, the entire Dan Saint City was already a bustling scene, packed with people.
From Body Refining to Foundation Establishment, everything was present; even some Golden Core Realm bigwigs came to join the fun.
"You damn well watch it, you stepped on my foot!"
"It's a damn crush, isn't it normal to step on someone?"
"Scram, I'm just squatting here, not a human stool!"
...
"This is simply a sea of people! It seems there hasn't been a scale like this since our Dan Saint City was established, has there?"
At this moment, atop a tall tower in the Alchemist Association, an old man with white hair stroked his beard, looking at the bustling scene below, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes, this is the appeal of Medicinal Pills with Pill Patterns! I truly envy Qingyun Sect; this generation actually produced such a peerless Alchemy Genius!"
Beside the white-haired old man, another old man dressed in an Alchemist robe also spoke with a sigh.
These two were the true power holders of Dan Saint City: City Lord Yuntian and President Dan Xuan!
"Who says otherwise? Qingyun Sect's Luck is prosperous now; it will definitely rise rapidly in the future. We need to build good relations with them early!"
Both of them made a decision in their hearts: to interact more with Qingyun Sect in the future and try their best to win over a peerless Alchemy Genius like Lin Yan!
Dong!
Suddenly, a grand bell chimed throughout Dan Saint City, immediately causing many Cultivators to become excited.
"Hurry up, the auction is about to begin! This time, this old man is determined to get that four-Pill Pattern Congenital Pill!"
"You're already Foundation Establishment, and you're still competing with us Innate Cultivators for Congenital Pills? Be a human!"
"Say one more word, and be careful when you leave the city; this old man will block you at the city gate!"
The Foundation Establishment old man glared fiercely at the surrounding Innate Realm Cultivators, then sped up, rushing towards the auction site.
After being threatened, the few Innate Realm Cultivators could only grumble a few words behind him, then also quickened their pace.
Due to the excessive number of people, the Alchemist Association chose the Dan Saint City's competition plaza as the auction location.
It was spacious enough to accommodate many people.
"Now, this old man announces that this special auction officially begins!"
"First to be auctioned is a Grade 2 Top-Tier Qi Supplementing Pill refined by our Grade 3 Alchemist!"
However, the moment Elder Mo's loud voice fell, a wave of dissatisfaction arose from below the stage.
"Who the hell cares about your top-tier Medicinal Pills? Quickly bring out that four-Pill Pattern Congenital Pill!"
"Did this old man cross several countries just to bid on your trash top-tier Medicinal Pills?"
"Except for Perfect Grade or higher Medicinal Pills, we won't bid on any others!"
...
Watching the shouts of protest from all around the stage, Elder Mo also smiled bitterly in his heart. Originally, he had thought of starting with a top-tier Medicinal Pill.
He hadn't expected that with the appearance of Medicinal Pills with Pill Patterns, these people wouldn't even look at top-tier Medicinal Pills.
One must know that in the past, top-tier Medicinal Pills were extremely sought after! They were priceless!
"Perhaps in the future, the Medicinal Pill market of the Great Yan Dynasty, and even the Northern Region, will change!"
Thinking of this, Elder Mo couldn't help but shake his head slightly, then directly took out the six Qi Blood Powders.
"One Perfect Grade Qi Blood Powder, starting bid one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"I'll offer five thousand!"
"Ten thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"
...
The moment Elder Mo's voice fell, many people below began to bid, though most of the bidders were Innate Realm Cultivators.
Ultimately, the first Qi Blood Powder was successfully bid on by a Cultivator at Innate Fifth Stage for a price of thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
"Hmph, even if it's Perfect Grade, one Qi Blood Powder isn't worth this price!"
"Fool, when you are in a life-or-death crisis, you will know the preciousness of a Perfect Grade Qi Blood Powder!"
The auction continued. Perfect Grade Qi Blood Powder, as the opening of the auction, attracted many Qi Refining and Innate Realm Cultivators to bid. Only the Foundation Establishment Cultivators remained indifferent; their goal was the Congenital Pill with Pill Patterns.
Ultimately, the six Qi Blood Powders sold for a total of two hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones! Each averaged over thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
"Next up for auction are nine Qi Refining Pills with five Pill Patterns! Highest bidder wins!"
"Starting bid for one, one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Ten thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"
...
...
On the other side, in the room.
Hoo!
As Lin Yan exhaled a turbid breath, his long-closed eyes slowly opened.
And the moment Lin Yan's eyes opened, numerous insights into the Dao of Sword bloomed like fireworks in his mind. Previously obscure, difficult to understand, or even incomprehensible concepts of the Dao of Sword now became completely clear to him, as if he had been enlightened!
At the same time, as Lin Yan's understanding of the Dao of Sword became clear, a sharp Sword Intent, several times stronger than before, immediately emerged around him!
"Second Stage Peak Sword Intent!"
"As expected of a Grade 6 Comprehension Ability Pill with four Pill Patterns."
A happy smile appeared on Lin Yan's face; he was extremely satisfied with this result.
[The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Formula, influenced by the host's increased Comprehension Ability, gained new insights into previous Alchemist experiences and understandings, successfully raising its Rank to Grade 2 Middle Stage!]
Oh?
"I didn't expect the increase in Comprehension Ability to also affect the Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Formula!"
Lin Yan smiled slightly; this was a pleasant surprise for him.
"The auction probably hasn't ended yet. While I have this time, I can properly improve my Cultivation!"
Immediately, Lin Yan took out the Perfect Grade Grade 5 Cultivation Pill, placed it in front of him, and began to Cultivate.
[The Super Pill Qi Art sensed extremely pure Dan Ling Qi and, in its excitement, increased its absorption speed by twofold!]
[Under the frantic absorption of the Super Pill Qi Art, the host's Cultivation was successfully raised to Congenital Second Stage Peak!]
Feeling his Cultivation increase, a satisfied expression appeared on Lin Yan's face. This feeling was simply too refreshing!
"Alchemist Lin, are you free now? The auction has ended!"
