Chapter 167: Chapter 167: An Auction Carried by One Man
"Holy shit! The Tian Class Auction Hall of the Miteer Auction House is opening!"
Ya Fei understood the significance of Xiao Yan's matter, not just because of the influence he wielded within the Miteer Clan, but also because she knew that if this was handled well, the Miteer Clan would thoroughly cement a strong relationship with him.
This was the champion of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, the most talented alchemist in history, offering pills refined with a Heavenly Flame. And all of this would be managed by their Miteer Auction House.
Just the reputation alone was enough to elevate the Miteer Clan to another level.
Originally, the balance among the three major clans of Jia Ma Sacred City had long been disrupted. After all, Nalan Yanran was the Little Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, with terrifying and unparalleled talent. Before Xiao Yan's appearance, she had been the unrivaled figure among the younger generation throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire.
Therefore, the Nalan Clan had long surpassed the other two major clans.
Now, Xiao Yan's emergence caused the balance to shift once more. If Ya Fei played her cards right, the Miteer Clan could ride on Xiao Yan's momentum to catch up to the Nalan Clan and completely leave the Mu Clan in the dust.
The three major clans would become two major clans, and these two could even stand shoulder to shoulder with the imperial family, transcending the Jia Ma Empire.
Ya Fei understood how immense the opportunity Xiao Yan brought was. She immediately used her authority as the auction house manager to halt all other operations and dedicated everything to Xiao Yan's auction.
The auction house directly closed its doors to spread the news to every corner of the Jia Ma Sacred City as quickly as possible. Everyone focused solely on tomorrow's auction.
It was worth noting that the Miteer Auction House was the largest commercial organization in Jia Ma Sacred City, and the influence it wielded was immense.
Almost immediately after Xiao Yan left, countless employees of the Miteer Auction House fanned out across the city with flyers to promote the event.
"Extra! Extra! Tomorrow, the Tian Class Auction Hall of the Miteer Auction House will open, auctioning pills personally refined by Grandmaster Xiao Yan, the most powerful alchemist genius in the history of the Jia Ma Empire!"
"Breaking news! Tomorrow! Pills from the Alchemist Grand Meeting champion will be publicly auctioned at the Miteer Tian Class Auction Hall! Obtaining pills refined with a Heavenly Flame is no longer just a dream!"
"Tomorrow, the Miteer Tian Class Auction Hall will only sell three things: pills, pills, and more pills!! All pills are tier 4 and above. The final pill should be familiar to everyone! That's right, it's the legendary Four Lines White Spirit Pill! Don't miss it!"
"Shocking! The Miteer Auction House closed just for this! Why has the vanished genius reappeared? Tomorrow, the Miteer Tian Class Auction Hall will reveal everything to you!"
In an instant, promotional flyers blanketed Jia Ma Sacred City. Shouts from members of the Miteer Clan could be heard on nearly every street corner. Even inside the imperial palace, voices infused with Dou Qi spread the news.
Yao Ye looked at the flyer in her hand and the auction list personally delivered by Ya Fei. Her beautiful eyes grew solemn. "They're all middle-grade tier 4 pills and above. There are actually four Three-Lined Green Spirit Pills. If the imperial family obtained them, we could cultivate a batch of advanced Dou Grandmasters."
Having returned to the palace, Jia Xing Tian couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle wryly. No wonder Xiao Yan had said earlier that Chairman Fa Ma would be chasing after him to give him medicinal ingredients tomorrow.
To alchemists, the pills Xiao Yan refined weren't just ordinary pills. To them, they were the best examples and reference materials.
Those alchemists still at tier 4 were probably willing to go broke to buy a tier 4 medicinal pill refined by Xiao Yan. Even Chairman Fa Ma would likely go wild trying to snatch up those Three-Lined Green Spirit Pills. After all, they were refined with a Heavenly Flame, and Xiao Yan had even modified the alchemy method!
Yao Ye pondered for a moment before saying, "Great Grandfather, I think we should also purchase a healing pill."
Jia Xing Tian furrowed his brow and said solemnly, "You want to let the Serene Sea Scaly Beast consume it and see if it's effective?"
"Mm. If pills refined with Heavenly Flames are effective, then perhaps we can ask Xiao Yan to help refine pills to treat the Serene Sea Scaly Beast."
"Alright, tomorrow we'll attend the auction and purchase some healing-type pills."
At this time, the Alchemist Association was already in an uproar. News that Xiao Yan was auctioning a large number of tier 4 pills and Three-Lined Green Spirit Pills had spread. Not to mention the 3rd-tier alchemists, even the peak 4th-tier Deputy Chairman Qie Mi Er and Chairman Fa Ma were dumbfounded.
"That brat, no wonder he said that earlier!" Upon seeing the auction notes stating that all pills would only accept bids using medicinal ingredients, Fa Ma immediately understood what Xiao Yan was planning.
The pills were his, so during the auction, whatever medicinal ingredients were bid, he had the final say on what he wanted.
Xiao Yan's intention was very clear. If you bid using the ingredients for the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill, then I may prioritize those.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Qie Mi Er said with a wry smile, "There are still many alchemists in Jia Ma Sacred City right now, especially those thirty 3rd-tier alchemists from the finals. They probably possess quite a few precious medicinal ingredients."
"That girl Ya Fei is targeting the fact that Jia Ma Sacred City has gathered all the top young alchemists from across the empire. These alchemists have likely collected many precious medicinal ingredients in their cities. Tomorrow won't be easy," Ao Tuo shook his head helplessly.
Sometimes, precious medicinal ingredients could be found in small towns too, just like back in Qingshan Town, didn't Little Fairy Doctor stumble upon many rare medicinal ingredients in a cave? With the addition of the Blood Lotus Essence, Xiao Yan had obtained two main ingredients for the high-grade tier 5 Blood Lotus Essence Pill in Qingshan Town.
A tier 4 pill was worth a main ingredient of a tier 5 pill. But now, these were Xiao Yan's pills. Add the words 'refined with Heavenly Flame,' and the price would likely double!
Sometimes, being famous really made it easy to earn money.
At this moment, in the Nalan Clan residence, Nalan Yanran, who had changed back into her Misty Cloud Sect's silver moon robe and was preparing to return to the sect with Ge Ye to train in the Gate of Life and Death, had a solemn look in her beautiful eyes as she stared at an auction list in her hand.
"There's even a peak tier 4 Dou Spirit Pill!" Ge Ye's heart skipped a beat when he saw the Dou Spirit Pill listed in the middle of the list.
The Dou Spirit Pill, Dou King Pill, and Mighty Huang Pill all had the same effect-to increase one's cultivation by one star. The Dou Spirit Pill increased a Dou Spirit, the Dou King Pill a Dou King, and the Mighty Huang Pill a Dou Emperor.
Back then, Gu He had used the Dou King Pill to recruit two Dou Kings as his escorts when infiltrating the Snake-People Tribe. One could imagine how tempting it was to raise one's
cultivation by a star.
Although one of Xiao Yan's Four Lines White Spirit Pills could increase cultivation by three stars with 100% certainty, it took more time and energy for a Dou King to advance one star compared to a Dou Grandmaster advancing three stars.
As for Nalan Yanran, her beautiful eyes remained fixed on the top two lines of the auction list, especially the first line.
Originally, she was supposed to return to the Misty Cloud Sect in two more days. But now, Xiao Yan's cultivation had already far surpassed hers, reaching the 7-star Dou Grandmaster
stage!
Meanwhile, she was still a 3-star Dou Grandmaster, a gap of four stars!
Although she cultivated the Misty Cloud Sect's most profound Qi Method, it was only a High Xuan Class Qi Method, ten times inferior to a Di Class one.
Now, the only way for her to catch up to Xiao Yan was to consume the Four Lines White Spirit Pill as well! Only by entering the Gate of Life and Death to train afterward would she have a
chance to catch up or even surpass him!
"Elder Ge, has Master returned to the sect?"
"Because you are entering the Gate of Life and Death, the Sect Leader came back early."
"Then let's temporarily hold off on returning to the sect. I'll inform Master and hope she can come to participate in this auction. With my Nalan Clan's financial strength, it will likely be very difficult to obtain that Four Lines White Spirit Pill."
This auction carried by one man had completely ignited the entire Jia Ma Sacred City.
