"As expected of Holy Pill City, such a scene is truly rare to behold!"
Seeing the prosperous scene before him, Xiao Yi could not help but sigh with emotion.
At least in the Jiama Empire and Black-Corner Region where Xiao Yi had previously been, such a prosperous sight was absolutely nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Yi's purpose in coming to Holy Pill City was not the Three Thousand Burning Flame, but simply to wander around and find a place to settle down and rest.
Therefore, Xiao Yi was currently strolling aimlessly along the bustling street Dao.
Until Xiao Yi passed a stall that seemed completely out of place among the surrounding prosperous shops.
When his gaze inadvertently swept over an iron piece on the stall, he suddenly stopped walking.
"This is...!?"
Xiao Yi stopped, his eyes fixed on the iron piece, and he muttered softly.
However, Xiao Yi's action was noticed by the stall owner.
Seeing this, a smile instantly appeared on the owner's Face. He picked up the iron piece, presented it to Xiao Yi, and said:
"Young friend, you truly have good taste. This iron piece is the treasure of my stall..."
"Since you were able to pick it out with a single glance, it proves that you have an affinity with this iron piece!"
"How about this, I'll reluctantly part with it. You only need one fifth-grade pill to exchange for this iron piece, what do you say?"
After the owner finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yi with anticipation!
Besides anticipation, his eyes also held a hint of excitement!
After all, this was the first sucker who had shown interest in this iron piece in a long time!
When Xiao Yi heard this, he did not show much emotional fluctuation.
After all, the owner in front of him clearly wore the Face of a black-hearted merchant, a look Xiao Yi had seen far too often in his previous life.
Thus, Xiao Yi's expression was calm as he spoke softly:
"Boss, you don't need to be so enthusiastic..."
"I was only taking a look..."
Immediately, Xiao Yi gently took the iron piece and examined it closely.
At this moment, Xiao Yi was startled to realize that the iron piece in his hand truly possessed some unusual qualities.
Because the moment Xiao Yi touched the iron piece, he could clearly perceive that his Soul seemed to be pulled, instinctively wanting to actively investigate the iron piece!
However, there seemed to be a special Seal on the iron piece, making it impossible for Xiao Yi to clearly discern what was hidden inside.
But at this moment, Xiao Yi still maintained a calm expression, showing no special reaction, and even shook his head slightly.
"Boss, this iron piece isn't worth much, I'm afraid it's not worth a fifth-grade pill..."
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he deliberately put on a disappointed look and prepared to turn around and leave.
When the owner saw this, he visibly panicked.
"Little brother, little brother..."
"Trading always involves bargaining. If you think it's not worth a fifth-grade pill, then you should at least offer a price..."
Xiao Yi stopped and spoke softly: "Seeing that you are an honest person, Boss, would one third-grade Medicinal Pill suffice?"
Hearing this, a hint of excitement reappeared in the owner's eyes, and he immediately prepared to nod in agreement.
After all, in the owner's eyes, this iron piece was junk, and being able to exchange it for a third-grade Medicinal Pill was already quite good.
However, just as the owner was about to nod in agreement, an extremely abrupt voice suddenly rang out from behind Xiao Yi.
"Wait..."
"I want this iron piece, one fifth-grade pill!"
Xiao Yi looked over upon hearing the voice, only to see a man dressed in a white robe slowly approaching him, accompanied by several guards.
The man's clothing looked quite luxurious, but his Face carried a hint of arrogance.
With just one glance, Xiao Yi could tell from his appearance that this person was definitely a spoiled young master!
Hearing the words "fifth-grade pill," the owner instantly grinned so wide his mouth couldn't close.
He had only intended to trick Xiao Yi out of a third-grade Medicinal Pill, but unexpectedly, another sucker came along willing to pay a fifth-grade pill. Naturally, the owner was willing to sell it to the higher bidder.
At this moment, Xiao Yi grabbed the owner's hand and spoke softly: "Boss, business always follows the principle of first come, first served, right..."
Seeing this, the owner stammered: "Young man, it's just that young master is willing to pay a fifth-grade pill for the exchange..."
"If you are also willing to pay a fifth-grade pill, then this treasure will naturally belong to you!"
At this moment, the white-robed man had already arrived in front of Xiao Yi, and initially spoke quite politely:
"Friend..."
"The rule of Holy Pill City is that the highest bidder wins. Now I am willing to offer a fifth-grade pill, and the owner is also willing to exchange it with me..."
"Since both parties agree, I wonder if you have any objections, friend?"
Xiao Yi merely smiled faintly and shook his head, saying:
"But I was here first, and the owner had already agreed with me. You should at least give me a reason..."
The white-robed man chuckled softly:
"Heh heh..."
"My name is Chen Xian, and I have just been certified as a genuine Seventh-Rank Alchemist..."
Hearing the name Chen Xian, Xiao Yi finally recalled who the person in front of him was.
Chen Xian, Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Underworld Sect, a Dou Zong. Relying on the Heavenly Underworld Sect behind him, he acted extremely arrogantly and recklessly.
At this moment, when the owner heard the name Chen Xian, he instantly realized that the person before him was the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Underworld Sect. His attitude immediately changed, and he said to Xiao Yi:
"Little brother, you cannot afford to offend this young master..."
"It's better to yield this iron piece to this young master..."
Seeing the owner's attitude, Chen Xian's Face was filled with a triumphant expression.
Because he greatly enjoyed this feeling of being respected and feared.
However, when Xiao Yi heard this, his expression remained calm.
Xiao Yi knew well that it was inappropriate to expose his identity now, so he did not want to get too entangled with Chen Xian.
He then put down the iron piece and prepared to leave.
However, seeing Xiao Yi yield, Chen Xian assumed that Xiao Yi was afraid of him.
He let out another contemptuous laugh: "Hick, how dare you bring out trash like a third-grade Medicinal Pill in Holy Pill City..."
"Get out of Holy Pill City immediately, don't pollute the sacred Qi here..."
Chen Xian had no interest in the iron piece from beginning to end; he was simply bullying others. Seeing Xiao Yi's relatively plain attire, he knew Xiao Yi was visiting Holy Pill City for the first time and just wanted to cause him trouble.
Hearing such humiliation from Chen Xian, Xiao Yi could not hold back any longer.
He immediately spoke in a deep voice: "Seventh-Rank Alchemist?"
"In my eyes, he is nothing but a fart..."
Hearing these words, Chen Xian's previously smug Face instantly darkened.
Because Xiao Yi's words had undoubtedly caused Chen Xian to lose Face in public.
Immediately, Xiao Yi casually tossed out a spirit revival purple pill:
"Boss, one fifth-grade pill..."
"The iron piece is mine..."
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he picked up the iron piece and prepared to leave.
However, how could Chen Xian, who valued Face so much, allow Xiao Yi to leave just like that?
In this Holy Pill City, few people dared to speak to him this way.
Immediately, two of Chen Xian's attendants flashed, blocking Xiao Yi's path.
"Hick!"
"Did I say you could leave?"
