In Tiancang Continent, top-grade elixirs are rare, especially eighth-grade elixirs such as Taixu Qingyang Pill, which are even rarer.
The city lord believed that as long as Gu Qingxi agreed to the auction, these nine Taixu Qingyang Pills would definitely drive all the monks present crazy. And it would be a great honor for him to host the auction.
"Then it's up to you, City Lord." Gu Qingxi nodded and handed the nine Taixu Qingyang Pills to the City Lord.
Others held this competition, and it was because of their efforts and talents, so they had to give some benefits. Anyway, she didn't care much about these pills, so why not just be a favor.
Besides, the Tianjun who founded Qingyuan City had met her several times before, and for his sake, Gu Qingxi couldn't refuse.
Seeing that Gu Qingxi had no objection, Jiang Qiulin and others also took out the Taixu Qingyang Pill that they had kneaded with their own hands.
Next, the city lord personally presided over the auction.
As he expected, Jiang Qiulin and others' Taixu Qingyang Pill did not cause too much trouble, but as soon as Gu Qingxi's Taixu Qingyang Pill came on the scene, it was like an explosion in the stands.
Famous Immortal Sect monks competed to take action, and even medical cultivators were no exception. As more people participated in the competition, the auction price naturally increased higher and higher.
Only then did the Lord City Lord think of something. This kind of furnace of nine elixirs, all of which were top-grade Taixu Qingyang elixirs, would not only be of great benefit to cultivation, but would also be extremely helpful for medical practitioners to understand the way of alchemy and medical skills.
If you're lucky, you might be able to break through the bottleneck and make further progress.
Therefore, these medical practitioners were even more tempted, even if they broke their heads, they wanted to take back a piece of Taixu Qingyang Pill that Gu Qingxi personally refined.
But now I thought it was too late. Seeing that the atmosphere on the field was getting more and more heated, the city lord guessed that if he dared to stop the auction, he would probably be bitten to death by these medical practitioners, so he could only bite the bullet and continue the auction.
By the way, why bite to death? Medical cultivators are weak. There are probably only three violent medical cultivators in the continent like Gu Qingxi, Jiang Qiulin, and Jiang Haoning. If other medical cultivators don't need to bite, can they beat someone to death?
As the Taixu Qingyang Pill in the hands of the city lord became less and less, not only the immortal monks, but also the demon cultivators began to bid.
In order to compete for a pill, two demon cultivators fought on the spot. If the city lord had not revealed his identity as a descendant of Tianjun in time, a murderous murder between the demon cultivators would have almost occurred.
When it came to the last Taixu Qingyang Pill, two demon cultivators rushed directly to Gu Qingxi and begged, hoping that she could take back the pill and sell it to them.
One said that he had been seriously injured in his early years and could only recover by regulating his meridians with Taixu Qingyang Pill, otherwise he would be dead.
In order to achieve what he is today, he has gone through countless experiences and self-inflicted injuries. He is about to break through the bottleneck. Of course, he is unwilling to die like this and begs Gu Qingxi to save his life. Thinking of the suffering he has suffered over the years, he said
Tears were about to fall as he spoke.
The other one is even worse, saying that as a medical practitioner, he has reached the end of his life because he has been unable to break through the bottleneck.
My father died early, and I have a mother who is more than a thousand years old and a young brother who is waiting for food. If I die, who will take care of the mother and the young brother?
It was said in such an emotional and touching tone that even Gu Qingxi couldn't help but be moved.
But then I thought about it and felt bad again: his mother is over a thousand years old, and his father died early. How did he give birth to that little brother who was waiting for food? I didn't hear him say that he had a stepfather. This lie seems like a detail.
It's not round.
So, Gu Qingxi kicked the demon cultivator out of the test platform neatly.
"Don't those demon doctors of yours also have Taixu Qingyang Pill? Why don't you buy it from them?" Then, Gu Qingxi asked the remaining demon cultivator in confusion.
Judging from the Qi that was faintly revealed on his body, he was obviously not a magic doctor, so he naturally did not need her elixirs to understand the way of elixirs and find opportunities for breakthroughs.
If it is just for regulating the meridians, the same goes for the Taixu Qingyang Pill made by a magic doctor. If you think the pill is not powerful enough, just take a few more pills. There is no need to pay high prices to compete with immortal medical practitioners.
"Master Gu, after seeing your alchemy skills, do you really think that I can still take the elixirs made like that?" The demon cultivator said, rubbing mud on his chest with a very sad expression.
"..." Gu Qingxi was speechless.
Yes, demon cultivators are also human beings. In the past, they had no better choice. No matter what kind of elixir they had, they had no choice but to swallow it, just like the monks in Yuanzhen Continent who swallowed the Bigu Pill that smelled like feet for generations.
Same.
But now that there is a better choice, who can swallow the pill that was rubbed out from the chest hair?
Gu Qingxi completely understood the mood of this demon cultivator.
However, in order to prevent the city lord from being bitten to death, she ultimately did not take back the Taixu Qingyang Pill.
Fortunately, the demon cultivator was rich, and after a fierce bidding process, he got the Taixu Qingyang Pill as he wished.
Looking at his back as he left happily, Gu Qingxi couldn't help but secretly sigh: Who said that demon cultivators can only fight and kill? Isn't this a three-level demon cultivator with taste, ideals and pursuits?
The auction was finally over, but the monks refused to leave. They surrounded Gu Qingxi around the test platform and begged her to help refine the elixir.
This is also understandable. Although there is a True Alchemy Alliance in Tiancang Continent that can refine alchemy, there are too few people who have the talent and perseverance to practice alchemy. There are only a handful of people who can compare with Gu Qingxi in alchemy.
So most of the time, monks can only buy elixirs from the Renxin Alliance.
Even if the medical practitioners of the Benevolent Heart Alliance do not have the problem of rubbing elixirs into their chest hair, but rub the elixirs with both hands, God knows if those medical practitioners are busy studying medical skills all day long, do they have a good habit of washing their hands before meals and after using the toilet?
Uh... don't think about this problem. If you think about it too much, you may not be able to take any pills in the future.
The trial dojo was filled with people. The monks were wrapping themselves up one layer at a time like rice dumplings, surrounding Gu Qingxi in the middle, all pleading with each other.
The immortal monks and the demonic cultivators, who had been incompatible with each other since ancient times and wanted to stab each other in the back whenever they had the chance, also reached a consensus and united as one for the first time in their lives.
Gu Qingxi deeply understood their feelings.
If it were in the past, she wouldn't mind fulfilling their wishes, but now she can't. She is concentrating on tempering her spiritual roots, so she has no time to help them make elixirs.
After some smooth talk and a promise to help them refine elixirs when he was free in the future, Gu Qingxi finally appeased everyone.
"Master Gu, there are many monks gathered outside the trial dojo. Just in case, why don't you follow me to the city lord's mansion to rest for a while." Watching the crowd gradually disperse, the city lord wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.
Said to Gu Qingxi.
The scene just now really scared him. If these monks swarmed up, even if Gu Qingxi could fight, he would probably be squeezed to death by them.
It was he who proposed the auction of pills. If Gu Qingxi had an accident because of this, he would regret it for the rest of his life - no, he was standing next to Gu Qingxi. If Gu Qingxi was squeezed to death, how could he have any regrets?
