"Welcome all distinguished guests to the 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.
Halfway through the auction, 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. The pills they refine have a very small chance of leaking out, 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 and below. It will be more helpful if swallowed when breaking through the realm."
"Twenty pieces in a bottle, the starting price 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.
"Three of the four major clans, Wu, Yan, Kang, Luo, and 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 a lot.
"Five thousand taels!" Yan Hua's eyes burned, "I'm going to order this bottle of blood-raising elixir."
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 slumped and looked up.
Five thousand taels of gold would strain the Wu family, and anything more would cause big trouble.
"It is rumored that an associated gold mine was discovered in the Yanjia mine. Now it seems that it is probably true."
"The Yan family took over the Luo family's medicinal 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 sharply 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 is clear, and 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 this distinguished guest."
Luo Guan said calmly: "The nature of fire-based skills is violent. If you are eager to advance in the realm, you will feel the pain of burning fire at midnight every day."
Jin Ya's face changed drastically, her secret was revealed at a glance. She took a deep breath and bowed respectfully, "Senior, do you need me to help you with something?"
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.
How about blood pills, more than forty pills?"
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, an alchemist actually appeared 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 my 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 was not sleepy, sitting cross-legged and silently practicing the sword skills of the Twelve Emperors of the Wilderness.
Soon, one 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 look after him carefully, Luo Guan returned to his room to continue practicing.
As the skill was running, strands of sword breath continued to emerge and circulate in the body. However, as the sword breath increased, there was some stinging, 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 master 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 my 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 to Jindingxuan, "The preparations for refining the blood-raising elixir 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 is 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 saying this, 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 his body, and after turning on the fire, he kept feeding the medicinal materials. The process was smooth and natural, and after half an hour, there was a strong fragrance of elixir.
It came from the alchemy furnace.
"The fires and utensils are too ordinary, and controlling your body is also very troublesome. Fortunately, I managed to do 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 hot.
Putting away all the elixirs, Luo Guan pulled the rope.
Soon, the door to the alchemy room opened.
Jin Ya, who came in first, smelled the medicinal fragrance in the air and looked surprised.
"Congratulations to senior for becoming a pill!"
Luo Guan gave her the bottle and said, "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-quality elixir!"
He exclaimed in surprise and looked at Luo Guan in shock.
Jin Ya's breath was stagnant. Of course she knew that Cheng Dan had three grades: upper, middle and lower.
Yesterday, what was sold at the auction house was a bottle of low-grade elixir!
Although the blood-rising pills are of the second level, in order to refine the top-grade pills, at least a fourth-grade alchemist is needed. And she had already counted them all just now. There were forty-seven blood-rising pills in the bottle, and it took just half an hour to make them.
The refining was successful... the person in front of me might even be a fifth-grade one!
The National Master of the Qingyang Kingdom, the Master of the Horn Sheep Temple who is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people, is the fifth-grade alchemist! Doesn’t it mean that the mysterious senior in front of you is a Qingtian existence who can stand on an equal footing with the National 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-raising elixirs 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, and they were all of the best quality.
"Senior, this is a golden ticket of 10,000 taels." Jin Ya looked forward to it, "I wonder if there will be another opportunity to serve you in the future? Senior, if you have orders, 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 start the exercises."
"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 Great Wilderness Twelve Emperors 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 his body, constantly digging into the depths of 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 driven into a pile.
Not moving at all.
Soon, the power of the Earth Fire Red Lotus exploded, Luo Guan's exposed skin turned red, heat waves rolled around his body, and sweat poured out of the pores all over his body, with traces of black impurities.
One night passed, Luo Guan opened his eyes and immediately smelled a stench. After touching something sticky 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 looked heroic, his eyes were dark and bright, and he had a high-spirited attitude! Luo Guan clenched his fists and felt the surge of power in his body. Luo Guan was surprised and happy.
"The realm of ten powers 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 field and reached out to grab the stone pier. To him, the weight of a hundred kilograms was as light as a feather. He walked to the other end of the martial arts field. It was the place where his father practiced martial arts before he was injured. There were many thousands of stones placed on it.
The mountain body refining stone lock.
The lightest one weighs a thousand kilograms!
Luo Guan took a deep breath, grabbed the stone lock, pulled it, and lifted it up easily.
Two thousand kilograms.
A little bit strenuous.
Three thousand kilograms...it's very difficult, but I can 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 the ordinary Qianshan Realm!
"Thank you teacher."
Luo Guan bowed respectfully.
After standing up, his eyes flashed.
Three days have come and it’s time to go to Qingjiang Gang!
