Chapter 48 - : Special Auction Method, Bartering
Chapter 48: Special Auction Method, Bartering
In a private room on the sixth floor.
Baizhi’s cherry lips were slightly open, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. “Master, you weren’t just boasting about the Flawless quality of the pill.”
Lu Haoxuan’s aged voice rang in her ears. “I didn’t expect that someone in this world could really refine it.”
It was only then that Baizhi realized that Lu Haoxuan, who had been meditating since God knows when, had already come to her side. Perhaps it was when the faint medicinal fragrance overflowed.
“This technique and the level of fire…”
Baizhi mumbled and stole a glance at Lu Haoxuan. She had been following the Alchemy Emperor since she was young. She had watched him refine his heart and worshipped him since she was young. She was also extremely familiar with his alchemy techniques. Naturally, she knew the difference between the two.
She had thought that no one in the world could surpass her master.
It was only a matter of time before he could refine a Flawless pill. However, there was always someone better than him. However, looking at the pill in front of her, she knew that the person who refined it was several times better than Lu Haoxuan. She was just worried that he would be hurt if she said it out loud.
However, Lu Haoxuan was the Alchemy Emperor. How could he not see through something that even a little girl could see?
“He’s much more powerful than me.”
Baizhi shook her head and said, “In my heart, Master will always be the most powerful.”
Lu Haoxuan revealed a bitter smile. “I’m afraid that this pill is of a quality that I’ll never be able to achieve in my entire life.”
“It’s easy to say that it’s Flawless, but if you want to achieve it, it’s even more difficult than ascending to the Heavens. It’s impossible to be absolutely pure and free of impurities. In the process of refining, you have to consider the effects of the temperature, the medicinal ingredients, and the environment.”
“If you add a little bit of it, it’s impossible to accomplish. I thought it existed in the legends, but I didn’t expect to see it today…”
Lu Haoxuan was quite emotional, and so was Baizhi. She had come into contact with alchemy when she was young, and she was already a grade six alchemist at the age of ten. Such talent could be called a monster among her peers, and she almost left all the alchemists far behind. No matter what, all her peers could not catch up.
Even Lu Haoxuan had high hopes for her. He had even joked that if he could not refine a Flawless-quality pill in this lifetime, perhaps Baizhi could. From this, it could be seen that her talent was extraordinary.
However, the more he understood, the more he realized how difficult it was to achieve ‘Flawless’. No wonder Lu Haoxuan had tried it for more than half of his life, but he still could not achieve it.
The Alchemy Emperor, who had always been respected and praised by the world, now looked a little lonely. He looked like an ordinary old man who had suffered a blow and was no different from an ordinary person.
Baizhi looked at his expression and asked carefully, “Master, what’s wrong with you?”
Lu Haoxuan’s expression returned to normal and his eyes lit up. “No matter what, I have to bid for this pill, no matter what price I have to pay!”
If he could obtain it, he might be able to unravel the mystery behind it. Perhaps he might even gain some enlightenment and refine a Flawless quality pill!
At the same time, there were many alchemists who shared the same thoughts as Lu Haoxuan.
Even if they could not unravel the secret of how to refine a Flawless pill, just learning from it and gaining experience would benefit them immensely.
At the same time, there was also a group of powerful cultivators who wanted to use this pill to increase their strength. At the very least, they could not let the enemy forces auction it off.
At this moment, Fan Baohua had not announced how much the starting price was, but there was already an undercurrent surging in the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce. The atmosphere had become somewhat delicate.
Everyone looked at the others as if they were looking at their competitors.
One had to know that there was not a single thing in the world that could be perfect and flawless. However, to be able to possess such a pill, one could imagine how heaven-defying its medicinal effects would be.
Everyone was eager to give it a try.
“There’s a rumor that Alchemy Emperor Lu Haoxuan has also arrived.”
“No way. If that’s the case, wouldn’t there be no hope for us?”
“Even the Alchemy Emperor has been alarmed. This is going to be a good show to watch. Regardless of whether it’s those big sects or the Alchemy Emperor, I believe they are determined to obtain this pill. We’ll have to see who is stronger.”
There were also quite a few people who knew that their cultivation levels were not high enough, but they were here just to watch the show. After all, such a scene could be said to be a once-in-a-century event.
Such a grand occasion was almost comparable to the Capital Dao Conference.
“If I had to say it, the Alchemy Emperor is a bit more powerful. After all, those competitors have to take the risk of offending the Alchemy Emperor.”
“That’s not necessarily the case. Quite a few large sects have come prepared. Even if it’s the Alchemy Emperor, they won’t let go so easily.”
Everyone was discussing there, and it was very lively below the stage.
Sitting on the sixth floor, Gu Xi took in everyone’s expressions.
He had not thought that a pill that had been casually refined could cause such a big stir.
If a few more were refined, then these people would go crazy, especially those alchemists. If they knew that he was taking it so casually, they would go berserk.
Everyone’s reaction was within Fan Baohua’s expectations. He believed that after today, the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce would be famous because of the Flawless quality pill, and they would rise to a higher level.
“I believe that everyone knows the value of this pill. There is a price for a magic treasure, but a divine artifact is priceless, so…”
Just as everyone was anticipating him to announce the starting price, Fan Baohua changed the topic. “The method of the final auction has also changed. It is too valuable, and there is no way to estimate it. Instead, it will be bartered through other rare treasures.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place was in an uproar.
“What?! Not using spirit stones? We’re using items to barter for the pill?”
Fan Baohua nodded. Although he also thought that this was a little strange, these were all Gu Xi’s requests, so he could only do as he was told.
Although in his heart, even rare treasures could not compare to this pill in his hand.
