Normally, a fifth-grade alchemist could only produce pills one grade higher than the herbs used...a rare feat in itself.
But Lin Xuan had managed to push even further.
"Oh, my dear little brother," Xuan Su said teasingly, though her tone carried genuine admiration.
"Do you realize? To cultivators in the Sky Origin Realm, these are treasures worth a fortune.
You might not need them, but countless others would kill for them! Our Wanjin Chamber of Commerce could hardly ask for anything better."
Seeing Lin Xuan speak so casually, she felt as though a man who never knew hunger was boasting about food before the starving.
After a brief thought, she offered,
"How about this....each bottle contributes three pills to the auction.
The remaining ones, our Wanjin Chamber will purchase directly from you.
The price will be based on the average value of the auctioned ones. How does that sound?
And consider it… a favor you're owed from your big sister."
"That's fine by me." Lin Xuan smiled. "We'll do as Sister Su says.
I'll also need your help collecting some rare herbs and materials later. And when I refine more pills, I'll probably need you to help sell them again."
He agreed without hesitation.....it didn't matter who bought them. All he wanted was Yang Yuan Stones.
Xuan Su immediately summoned one of the auction hall's stewards to arrange for the nine pills to be included in the upcoming lots.
Moments later, the auction resumed.
"Next item.....Void Spirit Grass, a fifth-grade spirit herb known to nourish mental strength.
Starting bid: two hundred Yang Yuan Stones."
After several rounds, the auction finally reached something Lin Xuan had been waiting for.
"Sister Su," Lin Xuan suddenly said, "could you arrange for me to buy every spirit herb available in today's auction?"
"All of them?" Xuan Su blinked in surprise, then chuckled. "No problem."
Soon came the main attraction of the evening.
"The next item is a top-grade spiritual technique for mental cultivation.
Certain talisman masters may find it especially valuable. Starting bid: one thousand Yang Yuan Stones!"
Bang!
The gavel struck. "Bidding starts now!"
"...Sister Su, I want that one too," Lin Xuan said casually.
"No problem, I'll have it arranged immediately," she replied without even blinking.
Yan Xuan, standing beside them, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"If it's spiritual techniques you're after, I already have several. Once you have time, I'll teach you some myself.
I even have higher-tier Qi-level ones....but you'll need to reach the Three-Seal Talisman Master level before you can handle them."
Lin Xuan nodded with a grin. "I'll still take it. Spiritual techniques are rare.....one more means one more option."
It wasn't arrogance. He simply wasn't short on money.
Under Xuan Su's direction, Lin Xuan easily won the technique for two thousand five hundred Yang Yuan Stones.....barely the equivalent of two hundred Yang Yuan Pills.
A negligible amount for him now.
At last, Lin Xuan's pills were brought to the stage.
The host's introduction alone sent murmurs rippling through the hall.
In Flame City, such high-grade pills.....especially those capable of aiding breakthroughs.....were exceedingly rare.
Some even voiced their doubts aloud.
But when the host stated, "These pills have been personally authenticated by Master Yan....guaranteed genuine," no one dared question further.
Master Yan's name carried enormous weight.
He was a respected resident alchemist of the Wanjin Chamber. If these pills were fake, it would destroy the reputation he'd built over decades.
Naturally, the bidding that followed was fierce.
Fourth-grade pills started at two hundred Yang Yuan Stones and ended at around five to six hundred.
Fifth-grade pills began at five hundred and closed near fifteen hundred.
The near-sixth-grade batch.....capable of assisting breakthroughs to the Origin Core Realm.....started at one thousand and skyrocketed to over five thousand before finally selling.
Origin Core experts were rare even in Flame City, and pills that could help achieve that realm were beyond price.
By the time the auction concluded, Lin Xuan had earned more than twenty thousand Yang Yuan Stones.....from just a third of his stock.
Counting the rest sold directly to Xuan Su, his total income reached nearly seventy thousand!
Enough to refine over twenty thousand Yang Yuan Pills.
Now that's profit!
Even mining couldn't compare.
"Congratulations, Lin Xuan," Xuan Su said brightly, eyes sparkling.
"Your pills were a huge hit! You've got so many Yang Yuan Stones.....would you like me to pay you in Yang Yuan Pills instead?"
She looked at him with unconcealed delight.
Earlier, she'd even suggested he study artifact forging under Yan Xuan.
Now, it was clear that was unnecessary.
Yan Xuan's craft was time-consuming and slow to sell...nothing like this.
Three casual batches from Lin Xuan had generated more value than Yan Xuan could produce in a year.
