“Fire Spirit Pill?”

Master Wuyan stared at Li Yuanqing in shock. He had originally thought that the master behind this kid was just a person who planted medicinal herbs. Who knew that this master actually had the ability to refine pills?

However, the quality of this pill could only be considered excellent. It did not look like it was made by a master.

Seeing that his performance was within his expectations, Li Yuanqing cleared his throat and asked, “How much can you sell this Fire Spirit Pill for?”

Master Wuyan was watching when Li Yuanqing suddenly asked. He carefully replied, “To be honest, these Fire Spirit Pills have always been a rare treasure in our hands. As long as we take them out, we will definitely be able to sell them for a good price. However, I don’t think these pills are of the highest quality. I’m afraid they can be sold for six to seven spirit stones at most.”

Li Yuanqing nodded slightly. He still had some understanding of the pills he had refined.

It was already not bad that he could sell this pill for five spirit stones. This was also because there were indeed too few Fire Spirit Pills outside, so the price in their black market was higher. However, he was quite proud that a pill that he had casually refined was so popular.

Master Wuyan was constantly observing Li Yuanqing’s expression, afraid that Li Yunqing would show any dissatisfaction. He looked at Li Yuanqing who was hesitating. In just a few breaths, he immediately became anxious.

He hurriedly pulled Li Yuanqing and said, “Sir, you don’t have to be in a hurry, let me think of something else. Perhaps I can raise the price of this pill.”

Li Yuanqing was just calculating how many materials he could refine if he refined all of them into Fire Spirit Pills.

This was a huge number. At that time, the spirit stones would probably pile up into several mountains.

Just as he was thinking this, Master Wuyan thought that Li Yuanqing was planning to sell it elsewhere and impatiently called all the people backstage over.

Among them was the host on the stage. His fair and clean face was bright, and his entire face was filled with a bright smile. He was always polite when he saw people, like a shelf that was selling smiles.

“Changming, this is…”

Master Wuyan was about to introduce him when he suddenly realized that he had never asked the name of the man in front of him.

Li Yuanqing was a little surprised. Master Wuyan immediately added, “We place great importance on confidentiality here. If you’re unwilling to reveal it, then forget it.”

Li Yuanqing had already thought of how to say it. He smiled and said, “It’s just a name. There’s nothing to hide. I’m Zhao Tai’an.”

“Nice to meet you!”

“Brother Zhao, when do you think you can sell this Fire Spirit Pill for a good price?”

Not to mention anything else in the auction house, the order in which the items were sold was also very particular. Whether an item could be sold for a good price or not was often directly related to the goods released before and after.

Changming was the host on the stage, so he naturally knew everything.

Changming took the pill and carefully looked at it. He looked at Master Wuyan in surprise. He looked at Master Wuyan and thought that it would be a high-quality pill. However, from the looks of it, this Fire Spirit Pill was nothing much.

Although the quality was not bad, it was not high-grade. There was no need to be so mysterious.

Master Wuyan winked at Changming, but Changming did not understand.

“This Fire Spirit Pill…” Changming whimpered. He looked back and forth between the two of them, not knowing what to say.

Master Wuyan grabbed his hand and said to him, “Brother Zhao is our very precious customer. You must treat his things with the highest standard. Brother Changming, think of a way to sell them for a good price.”

Master Wuyan even carefully whispered a few words into Changming’s ear. From the shape of his mouth, he was talking about the Giant Spirit Fruit.

When Changming heard these words, his eyes widened. He looked at Li Yuanqing with respect.

“So Brother Zhao is the owner of that huge spirit fruit. I was wondering why Brother Zhao was so talented. I could feel a dignified aura from you from afar!”

Li Yuanqing paused awkwardly. When this guy came over just now, he did not seem to know anything at all. Master Wuyan had been reminding him for a long time before he finally saw it.

“It’s nothing. But I think it’s better to keep a low profile. I don’t want anyone else to know.”

“Of course, of course! What our Golden Bamboo Mountain is most particular about is protecting the privacy of our customers. This matter will definitely not spread!”

Li Yuanqing had his own judgment about their guarantee. He had just returned from selling the Giant Spirit Fruits when he bumped into Wang Lan. This privacy protection was almost gone.

“That’s good. There are only three boxes of these pills now. There are a total of two hundred pills. I’ll leave them to you.”

Their fawning appearance naturally made Li Yuanqing realize that there were benefits. Since they were so willing to help him sell, he might as well take out more than half of the pills he had refined.

Other than the small bottle just now, three square white jade boxes were placed in front of Master Wuyan.

Master Wuyan opened the box slightly with trembling hands, revealing a crack.

At this moment, an extremely dense fire-attribute spiritual energy rushed out. It even burned a scorch mark on Master Wuyan’s finger.

Not only did Master Wuyan not dodge, but he even brought the charred piece of his finger to the tip of his nose and sniffed it deeply. He seemed to be immersed in it very much. After a long while, he opened his eyes and shouted.

“Amazing! As expected of a master. Although the fire is still a little lacking, the ratio of the medicinal herbs and the symmetry of the structure are second to none!”

After being scalded by this thing, Master Wuyan became excited.

“This taste is really outstanding! It inevitably reminds me of a certain senior master who once did this.”

Wuyan was interested and accidentally said this sentence. After saying that, he was suddenly stunned. He took out another pill and placed it in front of his eyes. He carefully observed that there were hands that spun around several times and muttered, “It’s actually so similar?”

Li Yunqing looked at him and asked, “What are you talking about, Master?”

Master Wuyan hurriedly waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing. I just feel that Brother Zhao’s pill is somewhat similar to the technique of a master I’m familiar with. It might just be a coincidence.”

“There’s such a thing?”

“I was just saying. Brother Zhao, don’t take it to heart.” Master Wuyan closed the lid of the box again and said to Li Yuanqing solemnly, “Brother Zhao, our Golden Bamboo Mountain will take charge of these pills. In my opinion, if these Fire Spirit Pills were sold in batches, the price would be higher. Why don’t we auction it according to the quantity of this box? I believe we will be able to sell it for a good price.”

This Fire Spirit Pill was very particular to begin with. Since it was a pill refined by the same person, its effect would be even stronger when used together. Therefore, the higher the consumption of the Fire Spirit Pill, the better it was sold together.

Li Yuanqing was also generous to take out so much at once. Although the quality might be a little bad, this selling point was enough to sell for a high price.

“Let’s do as you think. I don’t know much about auctions.”

“Then please rest at the back, Brother Zhao.”

Li Yuanqing looked at the seats in the darkness outside and asked, “I want to sit on that stage.”

“Brother Zhao, do you want to buy some things back too?”

“Not really. I mainly want to see more.”

“Then Brother Zhao, you can choose a seat yourself. However, there are a few seats in the middle that have been reserved by a few powerful people, so it’s not easy to occupy them. As long as you’re happy, it’s fine.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble Master Wuyan with the Fire Spirit Pill.”

“What trouble?” Master Wuyan held Li Yuanqing’s hand and said gratefully, “Brother Zhao, it’s already a huge favor to us that you can bring these treasures to our Golden Bamboo Mountain to sell. I hope that our cooperation in the future will still be so close.”

After Li Yuanqing exchanged pleasantries with Master Wuyan, he slipped out of the backstage along a small path and arrived at the unlit customer area in front.

The next auction had yet to begin. There were not many people who came during this time. Only a few people sat sparsely. They sat in their seats and closed their eyes to rest, their bodies emitting faint spiritual energy fluctuations.

“Master, who exactly is this person? Many sects are searching for that huge spirit fruit outside.”

Changming and Master Wuyan carefully sized up Li Yuanqing, who was walking around in front.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was about to turn around, Master Wuyan immediately pulled Changming to the back.

“This person’s background is very mysterious. It’s best not to provoke him. I think he must be the disciple of some master. As for this huge spirit fruit, only we have seen it before. Just ignore those large sects.”

“Recently, many disciples of the sect have been guarding here in the black market. They all want to obtain the origin of that huge spirit fruit immediately. What should we do? What if we accidentally expose this person’s identity?”

Master Wuyan glared at him and warned, “You can’t expose Brother Zhao’s identity. He’s our money tree. If those large sects take the Giant Spirit Fruit, we won’t have anything left. They will all benefit.”

“You’re right, Master.”

In the end, Li Yuanqing chose a corner. It was dark here and no light shone here. He liked this feeling of darkness.

In front of the center of the stage were a few areas of different colors. Those were the regular customers here. They had long reserved seats. Loose customers definitely could not sit there.

In the back, most of the people sitting had walked around outside or were guarding here with ulterior motives.

They might not like the ordinary things sold in the black market.

Some people might squat there for several days. During the interval, they would close their eyes and rest, slowly circulating their cultivation techniques.

In front of Li Yuanqing, also near the edge, there was a person shrouded in darkness.

His body was surrounded by a dark fog that completely enveloped him. No one’s divine sense could easily penetrate him.

This person sat there motionless. He seemed to have sensed Li Yuanqing’s gaze and turned to look in his direction.

Li Yuanqing looked straight at the dark fog. The two of them looked at each other through the black fog for a while.

After looking at Li Yuanqing for a while, the black fog felt bored and turned back.

There was a burly guy sitting in the middle. That person had a big ringed saber at his waist. His body and head were embedded with rings. When he twisted, his entire body would clang. His face was filled with muscles, and he looked murderous. That guy alone occupied the seats of two people. However, when they saw that his cultivation level was at the third or fourth stage of the Supremacy realm, no one dared to provoke him.

Further over was a very thin man. The guy was thin and tall and looked very smart. His eyes were big and round, his nose was small and sharp, and his mouth was small. From top to bottom, these facial features were stuck to his face like an inverted triangle. The person had a small braid running down his head, just a small circle above his head. The places beside him were bare and very shiny.

That person was very short and almost unnoticeable. However, Li Yuanqing had good eyesight.

In just a short while, people arrived one after another. After they came, they casually found a place to sit. Most of them would lean forward.

This place was still very spacious. After everyone arrived, they were unwilling to squeeze together, so most of them were separated. However, later on, more people came. The previous auctions were not so lively.

Li Yuanqing remembered that he had seen many people when he came back last time, but most of them were separated by two or three empty seats.

However, this time, as the people behind gradually arrived, the seats were slowly filled.

Li Yuanqing was also shocked by this scene. Could it be that these people had gathered here because of his Fire Spirit Fruit?

Behind the stage, Master Wuyan revealed half of his body and discussed it with Changming.

The two of them looked at the packed scene outside and were overjoyed.

Recently, there have been a lot of customers coming and going. In addition, they had secretly spread the news of the treasure outside and attracted everyone.

“It’s up to you now.”
