"Welcome all distinguished guests to Jinding Auction..." To enhance the atmosphere, the first few lots were all good and quickly stirred up the atmosphere.
When everyone was bidding, Luo Guan remained silent.
It was not until halfway through the auction that a bottle of elixir was presented to the stage.
The auctioneer loudly said: "Next, is lot number 21."
"Everyone knows that there is not one cultivator in a hundred, and there is not even one cultivator in a million who can become an alchemist!"
"Any high-level alchemy master is sought after by all parties. There is only a very small chance that the elixirs they refine will be leaked. Just like today..."
His tone suddenly became passionate, "The second-level blood-raising pill can strengthen the qi and blood in the body. It is suitable for martial arts below the third level. Swallowing it when breaking through the level will be more helpful."
"Twenty pills in a bottle, starting bid is one thousand taels of gold, start bidding!"
The auction house was filled with excitement.
In the small city of Jiangning, no alchemist has ever been born, but they all know what it means to have pills that enhance their practice!
If you get it, whether you use it for yourself or to train the younger generations of the family, it is possible to change the fate of the family.
Practice is the foundation of everything.
"Two thousand taels!"
"Two thousand five hundred taels!"
"Three thousand!"
In today's auction, many people came just for the Blood Ascension Pill.
The fierce competition quickly eliminated most of the competitors, and the price of the Blood-rising Pill reached an astonishing four thousand taels of gold.
"Wu, Yan, Kang, Luo, three of the four major clans in Jiangning are here!"
"Who doesn't want this kind of elixir? As long as you can get it, it's worth paying a big price!"
"It's a pity that we can't compete for it at all."
Everyone was talking about it.
"Five thousand taels!" Yan Hua's eyes were burning, "I will order this bottle of blood-raising pill."
The head of the Wu family gritted his teeth, "Five thousand five hundred taels..."
"Six thousand taels!"
Yan Hua looked relaxed.
The head of the Wu family fell back.
Five thousand taels of gold would strain the Wu family, and any more would cause big trouble.
"It is rumored that an associated gold mine was discovered in the Yan family mine. Now it seems that it is probably true."
"The Yan family took over the Luo family's medicine-gathering industry back then, and their strength is already the first among the four major families. Now that they have obtained the elixir, they may dominate Jiangning in a few years!"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded.
"Seven thousand taels."
A moment of silence!
Countless eyes gathered, and Luo Guan sat still. This calmness made everyone mutter, wondering where the dragon crossing the river came from.
Yan Hua's face was gloomy, "Eight thousand taels!"
"Nine thousand."
Yan Hua's eyes twitched suddenly and he stared at Luo Guan fiercely, "Ten thousand taels!"
"If your Excellency offers more, this bottle of blood-raising elixir will be yours."
Under the black robe, Luo Guan sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Ten thousand...zero one tael."
Wow——
Everyone exclaimed!
This makes it clear that the Yan family will not be given any face.
Yan Hua's eyes were cold, "Okay! Very good!"
A man who can afford ten thousand taels of gold will not dare to act rashly until he knows the details.
Soon, the manager of Jinding Auction House came over and said, "Dear guest, please come with us to make the delivery."
Luo Guan stood up and came to the VIP room.
“How are you going to pay for it?”
Luo Guan said calmly: "Don't worry, go and invite your master."
Faced with the high-roller who spent millions of dollars, the auction house manager hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
After a while, Jin Ya opened the door and came in with a bright and moving smile, "I've seen the distinguished guest."
Luo Guan said calmly: "The nature of fire-based skills is violent. If you are greedy for advancement, you will feel the heart-burning pain at midnight every day."
Jin Ya's face changed drastically, and her secret was revealed at a glance. She took a deep breath and saluted respectfully, "Senior, do you need me to help you with anything?"
Appreciation flashed in Luo Guan's eyes, and he continued to make a hoarse voice, "I am traveling here, and I need ten thousand taels of gold for trivial matters." He nodded at the jade bottle on the table, "In return, you will provide materials and utensils, and I will make a furnace. Blood pills, more than forty pills, how about it?"
Jin Ya's eyes widened suddenly, her heart pounding, "You...are you an alchemist?"
Luo Guan nodded.
Jin Ya has an unrealistic feeling like she is in a dream!
Jinding cooperates with two alchemists so that it can occasionally obtain the elixirs refined by them, but these top-notch resources can only be accessed by the ancestors.
But now, there was an alchemist who took the initiative to appear in front of her!
"Yes, of course!" She took a deep breath and her tone was extremely respectful, "I don't know how I can contact senior?"
Luo Guandao: "At this time tomorrow, I will come again."
Get up and leave.
The steward said: "Miss, do you really believe that he is an alchemist?"
Jin Ya's eyes were bright, "It doesn't matter if it's fake. I don't have to worry about selling the Blood-rising Pill, but if it's real... I can take the opportunity to establish contact with a powerful alchemist!"
After leaving the auction house and making sure that no one was following him, Luo Guan took off his black robe and returned home.
The night was like water, but he didn't feel sleepy. He crossed his legs and silently practiced the sword skills of the Twelve Emperors of the Wilderness.
Soon, the night passed.
Luo Guan tidied up for a while and went to see his father.
Luo Zhenyang is still sleeping. According to Xuangui, after suffering from pain for many years, it is normal for him to sleep for three or two days, which is also good for the body.
Instructing his servants to watch carefully, Luo Guan returned to his room to continue practicing.
As the skill moves, strands of sword breath continue to emerge and circulate within the body. But as the sword breath increased, there was some tingling, blockage, and sluggish circulation.
Luo Guan didn't dare to be careless and asked Xuangui.
Xuangui said: "Although you have taken the Earth Fire Red Lotus, it is only initially absorbed. It will take time to complete the body tempering."
Luo Guan thought for a while, "Teacher, what do you mean, is the disciple progressing too fast?"
"...That's about it." Xuangui coughed lightly, "A little progress is nothing. You should always remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity!"
Luo Guan said respectfully: "Teacher is right." He looked troubled again, "Can the disciple still practice in the future?"
Xuan Gui said: "Hang on for a moment, until my teacher instructs you to prepare a medicinal bath to speed up the absorption of medicinal power. It will not affect your cultivation."
Luo Guan opened his eyes, looked at the darkening sky, and stood up to go out.
Soon, he arrived at Jinding Auction House.
Jin Ya waited for a long time and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Greetings to senior."
There were so many people and so many eyes, Luo Guan said: "Let's talk after we go in."
"yes!"
Jin Ya personally led the way and introduced Luo Guan into Jindingxuan, "The preparations for refining the Blood Ascension Pill are complete. Would you like to take a short rest or go directly to the alchemy room?"
Luo Guan said calmly: "Alchemy room."
Jin Dingxuan's alchemy room is underground and heavily guarded.
Jin Ya ordered people to put down the materials, "Senior, do you need anything else?"
Luo Guan shook his head.
Jin Ya said: "We will come back after senior pulls the rope."
After speaking, he bowed respectfully and led the people away.
"teacher?"
"She is very smart and didn't do anything." Xuangui said, "Let's get started."
"good!"
Buzz——
The bones in the sky trembled slightly, and the power of the black turtle seeped out, taking over the control of the body.
Luo Guan watched the whole process, "watching" the black turtle control the body, turn on the fire, and continuously feed the medicinal materials. The process was smooth and natural. Half an hour later, a strong aroma of elixir came out from the elixir furnace.
"The fires and utensils are too ordinary, and it is very troublesome to control your body. Fortunately, I managed to make it." Black Turtle's voice was a little tired.
Luo Guan saluted, "Thank you, teacher."
Opening the alchemy furnace, forty-seven round blood-rising pills lay at the bottom of the furnace, steaming.
Putting away all the elixirs, Luo Guan pulled the rope.
Soon, the door to the alchemy room opened.
Jin Ya, who was the first to come in, smelled the medicinal fragrance in the air and looked surprised.
"Congratulations to senior for becoming a pill!"
Luo Guan gave her the bottle, "Let's test it."
A middle-aged man walked out from behind Jin Ya. He took the jade bottle and poured out a few blood-rising pills into his palm. His expression suddenly changed.
He hurriedly walked to the lamp, took a closer look, then carefully scraped some powder from the elixir body and put it in his mouth to taste.
"High-grade elixir!"
He exclaimed in surprise and looked at Luo Guan in shock.
Jin Ya's breath was stagnant. Of course she knew that there were three levels of Cheng Dan: upper, middle and lower.
Yesterday, what was sold at the auction house was a bottle of low-grade elixir!
Although the blood-raising elixir is a second-level pill, in order to refine a high-level elixir, it requires at least a fourth-level alchemist. But just now she had counted, there were forty-seven blood-rising pills in the bottle, and they were successfully refined in just half an hour... The person in front of her might even be a fifth-grade pill!
The national master of the Qingyang Kingdom, the master of the Horn Sheep Temple who is inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people, is the fifth-grade alchemist! Could it be that the mysterious senior in front of me is a Qingtian existence who can be on an equal footing with the Imperial Master?
Jin Ya's heart and liver were trembling, and her breathing was rapid, causing waves to roll. She said in a trembling voice: "Senior's alchemy skills are superb and rare in the world!"
"Forty-seven high-grade blood-enhancing pills are of inestimable value. The ten thousand taels of gold that I promised to give to my senior is really too little..."
Luo Guan's eyes flashed slightly, "We agreed on 10,000 taels, so it's 10,000 taels."
"However, I have a new disciple, and I still need some foundation building materials."
Jin Ya immediately said: "Jin Dingxuan is willing to provide it free of charge to thank senior!"
"Okay." Luo Guan casually mentioned some medicinal materials.
Jin Ya immediately ordered people to take ten copies each, all of which were of the best quality.
"Senior, this is a golden ticket of 10,000 taels." Jin Ya looked forward to it, "I wonder if I will have the opportunity to serve you in the future? Senior, I have instructions, and Jin Ding will go all out!"
Luo Guan said calmly: "If necessary, I will come to you." He did not make a promise, but this response surprised Jin Ya.
"Ten thousand taels of gold, new disciple..." Jin Ya's eyes flashed, "Liu Qing, order someone to secretly check if anything has happened in Jiangning City recently."
After leaving Jindingxuan, Luo Guan returned to Luo's house and took out the 10,000 taels of gold tickets with a smile on his face.
The matter is solved!
"Boy, we have all the medicinal ingredients, let's start making a medicinal bath."
"is teacher!"
Following Xuangui's instructions, Luo Guan made a medicinal bath and put it in a bucket.
"Sit in and run the technique."
"There will be some discomfort during the process. The longer you persist, the better the absorption effect will be."
Luo Guan entered the bathtub and used the Twelve Emperors of the Wilderness Sword to absorb the medicinal power. He suddenly felt sore, numb and itchy.
There seemed to be tens of millions of ants gnawing at the flesh and blood in the body, constantly burrowing deep into the bone marrow, making people want to scratch the skin and flesh. Veins popped out on his forehead, neck, arms, etc., but his whole body seemed to be stuck and motionless.
Soon, the power of the Earth Fire Red Lotus erupted, Luo Guan's exposed skin turned red, heat was rolling all over his body, sweat gushes out from the pores all over his body, with traces of black impurities.
One night passed, Luo Guan opened his eyes and suddenly smelled a foul stench. After touching the sticky stuff on his body, he quickly opened the window for ventilation and changed the hot water three times before cleaning himself.
In front of the mirror, the young man looks heroic, his eyes are dark and bright, and he has a high-spirited attitude! Luo Guan clenched his fist and felt the surge of power in his body. Luo Guan was surprised and happy.
"The Ten Powers Realm is complete!"
Xuangui's voice sounded, "Boy, the Ten Powers Realm with perfect foundation building is different from others. You will know if you try it."
Luo Guan came to the martial arts arena and reached out to grab the stone pier. To him, it weighed a hundred kilograms and was as light as a feather. He walked towards the other end of the martial arts field, which was where his father practiced martial arts before he was injured. There were many body-refining stone locks from the Thousand Mountains Realm.
The lightest one weighs a thousand pounds!
Luo Guan took a deep breath, grabbed the stone lock, pulled it, and lifted it easily.
Two thousand pounds.
Slightly difficult.
Three thousand kilograms...it's very difficult, but I still lift it above my head.
Bang——
The stone lock fell heavily to the ground, Luo Guan's face turned red, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
Is this the Ten Powers realm where foundation building is complete? Back then, my father was barely able to use a four thousand kilogram stone lock.
In other words, his current strength is only slightly lower than Qianshan Realm!
"Thank you teacher."
Luo Guan bowed respectfully.
After standing up, his eyes flashed.
Three days have come, it’s time to go to Qingjiang Gang!
