$38. The auction begins
A good doctor is good at poisoning.
Every alchemy master is also a top poison master.
In Zhao Sanqing's medicine garden, there is a thousand-year-old cockscomb grass.
Xiao Changfeng refined it into Phoenix Tail Poison.
This poison is colorless and odorless, soluble in water and air. After poisoning, the body becomes as stiff as wood. If not detoxified in time, it will become a vegetative state.
Unfortunately, there are too few phoenix poisons, not even half a tael, and it is also very difficult to find another phoenix cockscomb.
Therefore, Xiao Changfeng did not dare to use it lightly and only used it as a life-saving thing.
But at this time, in order to shock Zhou Zhenghao, he used a little more.
"Master Zhou, don't judge me with your wisdom and vision."
After saying that, Xiao Changfeng waved his hand again and detoxified the poison without waiting for Zhou Zhenghao's reply.
Then, he strode away.
Only Zhou Zhenghao, with a horrified expression on his face, was left standing there blankly.
…
The night ends and the day dawns.
The elixir auction is finally about to begin.
The place where the elixir auction is held is located in the southeast corner of Wangjiang City.
There is a huge area here, built in a ring, enough to accommodate 100,000 people.
The weather is fine today and the wind is gentle.
Powerful leaders from all over the world slowly entered the venue.
The entire people of Wangjiang City also gathered here to see the excitement.
"It's the Sword King of North Sword Clan, my most admired idol!"
"The master of Qingyun Sect, he has the spirit of immortality, so elegant!"
"It's the Sima family. Wow, there are so many big shots!"
Every appearance of a big shot caused a flurry of discussion, with some showing envy, some admiring, and some sighing.
No matter which one of these people is being discussed, they are all figures in the hegemony side and have great reputations.
At this time, a carriage came with a cloud pattern on it.
"It's the Yun family, King Yun is here too!"
The Yun family is extremely famous and is the largest force in southern Qingzhou, controlling many businesses such as salt, iron, and transportation.
The carriage stopped in front of the auction house, and King Yun took Yun Lan out.
King Yun is in high spirits today, and Yun Lan is also dressed exquisitely and beautifully.
The two slowly walked into the auction venue, attracting exclamations from everyone.
Big figures kept appearing, which opened the eyes of the people of Wangjiang City.
Xiao Changfeng and Lin Ruoyu entered among the crowd.
Entering the auction house, soft sunlight poured down, and the noisy sounds from the outside world seemed to be isolated at this moment. The distance of just a few meters was like being separated by two worlds.
The venue was packed with seats, but Zhao Sanqing had reserved a seat for him early in the VIP seat at the top of the venue, commanding a commanding position.
"Teacher, there are so many people. It is the first time in my life that I have seen so many people gathered together!"
Lu Wenjie looked expectantly at the dark crowd below.
"I saw Mo Ruyu!"
At this time, Lin Ruoyu spoke in a low voice, and then pointed to somewhere in the auction house.
Xiao Changfeng looked around and saw Mo Ruyu sitting in the venue, with a gentle and picturesque temperament.
"I didn't expect that she would come too. It seems that Xiao Dilin is also very interested in elixirs!"
Xiao Changfeng's lips curled up into a sneer, guessing Mo Ruyu's intention.
Soon, the elixir auction officially began.
Everyone's eyes were directed towards the high platform in the center of the venue.
There, there was a figure, smiling and bowing to everyone with clasped fists.
But it was Zhao Sanqing.
"You are all old friends. I would like to express my gratitude to you for coming this time. I believe you still have many doubts about this elixir auction."
"The elixir I photographed today was not made by me, but by Master Xiao."
"But I guarantee my reputation that this elixir will not disappoint you!"
Zhao Sanqing said, but it made everyone puzzled.
Master Xiao?
Wasn't this elixir refined by Zhao Sanqing?
Who is this Master Xiao, who actually asked Zhao Sanqing to guarantee his reputation?
Zhao Sanqing didn't give everyone time to guess. After he finished speaking, he took out a small jade bottle from the storage ring.
"The first pill is called Spirit-Breaking Pill. Although this pill is only effective for people in the Earth Martial Realm, it can break the bottleneck. If four or seven are encountered, only one pill is needed!"
As soon as Zhao Sanqing finished speaking, the entire venue was filled with uproar.
"Breaking through the bottleneck? This is impossible. How could there be such a medicine?"
"I've never heard of the Spirit-Breaking Pill. Is there any side effects?"
No one believes in the efficacy of the Spirit-Breaking Pill, after all, it is too unbelievable.
"Whoever takes this pill today can take it on the spot. If it doesn't work, I will pay ten times the compensation!"
The uproar among the people was expected by Zhao Sanqing.
After hearing what Zhao Sanqing said, everyone stopped talking. No matter what, Zhao Sanqing's reputation as a sixth-grade alchemist was still very valuable.
"This elixir has a base price of one thousand spiritual stones!"
The shooting of the first elixir begins here.
However, this was the first time that the elixir appeared in front of the public. Despite Zhao Sanqing's guarantee, no one was willing to try it.
For a while, the scene was a little deserted.
Almost everyone is waiting and watching, waiting for others to take the lead.
"two thousand!"
But soon, the first voice sounded.
Everyone looked sideways and saw that the person making the quotation was actually King Yun.
"Is King Yun planning to test the waters first? I heard that he is seriously ill, but this spirit-breaking pill seems to be ineffective on him!"
Seeing King Yun being the first to make an offer, everyone was puzzled and discussed.
But no one followed the price.
No one wants to throw away the spiritual stone.
In the end, King Yun bought the first Soul-Breaking Pill at the price of two thousand spirit stones.
"He got a bargain!"
In the VIP seats, Xiao Changfeng smiled and was not discouraged by the cold reception of the first pill.
Swish!
A graceful figure, like a butterfly or orchid, walked onto the platform. It was Yun Lan.
"My granddaughter is now stuck at the bottleneck of the fourth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. It's a good time to try this Soul-Breaking Pill. Thank you all!"
King Yun stood up, clasped his fists and smiled.
Everyone looked at Yun Lan on the platform.
Everyone wanted to see if this Soul-Breaking Pill was really as magical as Zhao Sanqing said.
This pill would determine the next auction.
Soon, Yun Lan took the Soul-Breaking Pill and swallowed it directly. Then he sat cross-legged and began to refine the medicinal power.
"Teacher, can this Soul-Breaking Pill really break the bottleneck? Will it fail?"
In the VIP seats, Lu Wenjie also stared at Yun Lan with a nervous look on his face.
This is the first step in promoting the elixir, and the most feared thing is accidents.
"It's okay!"
Xiao Changfeng looked calm, looking at Yun Lan, and spoke calmly.
"The medicinal power is like fire, like a volcanic eruption, and the bottleneck will break without attack!"
As Xiao Changfeng spoke, Yun Lan on the high platform suddenly became bright red, and a surge of spiritual energy came out from her body.
A strong breath, like a wave, rolled out, allowing everyone to feel it clearly.
"Breakthrough!"
At this moment, the whole audience was boiling, and Lu Wenjie jumped up in surprise.
Only Xiao Changfeng was calm, with a calm face and eyes as light as water, as if... a god who controls everything.
