The Battle Through Heaven
The Red-Faced Elder
” Totally worthy to be ‘Black-Corner’ Region .. in one day, two alchemists of such a level have appeared … it seems like I really didn't come here without anything today. ’
The appearance of this red-faced elder caused the voices of many alchemists in the hall to become much softer. Some of those whose abilities were slightly stronger displayed unnatural expressions.
The owner Yao on the stage was slightly surprised. A warm smile was immediately pushed onto his face as he hurriedly went down the stage and headed towards the red-faced elder. His mouth laughed in a loving manner, ” Old Qi respects us with his presence. This time, Black Emperor City is holding a large-scale auction and I think Old Qi won't have any spare time to come .. ’
’Hee Hee, what did Owner Yao say? The quality of medicinal ingredients in the Thousand Medicinal House was outstanding. Even the old me couldn't help but feel interested. Moreover, these Pill Exchange Exchanges were not often held. Therefore, the old me will definitely come and see how busy I am. ’’The old man called as Old Qi laughed out loud. His voice is very clear. When he laughed out loud, quite a number of people inside the hall knit their brows. However, due to the position and background of players within Black Emperor City, no one dared to voice their thoughts.
’’ Qie-shen is very happy because Old Qi can come visit this store. Fortunately, this Pill Exchange Meeting had yet to officially begin. Old Qi, please sit down. ’’ Owner Yao smiled as she spoke. He immediately tilted his body and made an inviting respectful attitude.
TL: Qie-shen – A simple way in which a woman calls herself. For simplicity, it can be taken as my/me word
Seeing this, the red-faced elder blatantly laughed loudly and unceremoniously headed to the line in front of the stage. After that, he sat down on the chair in the most important place. His faint gaze took one look around before finally pausing at Xiao Yan, whose distance was quite close. After which, he immediately withdrew his gaze.
Owner Yao sighed softly without anyone noticing after seeing that/that red-faced elder had sat down. His heart silently cursed, ” Whenever this old man came, he had always depended on his background within the Black Imperial City which caused the other competitors to be afraid of bidding him. ’
This red-faced elder had quite a strong background. He was a top alchemist within the Black Emperor Sect. It was rumored that/that he had reached tier 6 not long ago. He could be considered as the person who possessed the greatest medicinal refining ability within Black Emperor City. Moreover, by relying on the strength of the Black Emperor Sect, he could be considered an important person whose words were extremely important to everyone in Black Emperor City. Ordinary people naturally did not dare to bid him. In this way, it was undoubtedly not something good from the Thousand Medicinal House's point of view. After all, they require both parties to bid against each other to maximize their profits. The former's actions undoubtedly broke the rules.
Although Owner Yao was dissatisfied, she did not dare to say too much due to the influence of the red-faced elders within Black Emperor City. Therefore, he did not feel great excitement for this big fellow who had come uninvited.
’’ This old man has sharp eyes. I wonder what medicinal ingredients he will be carrying this time .. ’Yao owner's hand involuntarily shriveled under his sleeve. These medicinal ingredients were obtained after their Thousand Medicinal House risked the lives of quite a number of medicinal harvesters. The price is pretty good …
Owner Yao shook her head slightly as this thought flashed across her heart. He suppressed the emotions in his heart before quickly walking back to the tall stage. A smile once again surged onto his face as he started hosting the Pill Exchange Meeting.
The group of Xiao Yan sat at one point towards the back. The medicinal ingredients that had appeared before were not what he needed, and his gaze had stopped on the red-faced elder most of the time. From the expressions of the alchemists around him when this old man appeared earlier, it seemed like he had quite a high position within Black Emperor City. The other thing is that/that this guy doesn't seem like much fun. However, many people did not dare to voice their anger for some reason.
By relying on his extraordinary Spiritual Perception, Xiao Yan could sense that/it was the alchemist level of this red-faced elder might be slightly higher than the YanAliansi Fa Ma. However, when compared to Gu He, he would likely appear slightly weaker. He could be considered a true alchemist grandmaster who would be highly sought after by many competing factions within ‘Black-Corner Region’.
The so-called Pill Gathering Exchange officially began as these thoughts lingered in Xiao Yan's heart. A few gazes of the alchemists swept over the medicinal ingredients on display. If they find something suitable, they will step forward. However, in order to take the medicinal ingredients they were interested in, they would have to pay with medicinal pills that had similar value to medicinal ingredients.
Xiao Yan faintly understood something while observing this Pill Exchange. He found that/that the value of these medicinal ingredients was about half or less than the value of the medicinal pill that could be refined. For example, if it was a medicinal ingredient that could refine a tier 4 medicinal pill, one would need a tier 3 medicinal pill to successfully trade it. However, what tier 3 medicinal pill was decided by the Thousand Medicinal House. If that person had already prepared it for business, that person could only exchange it for medicinal ingredients. Otherwise, there was a high grade medicinal cauldron prepared for them on the stone stage beside him. Clearly, it was for people to refine pills on the spot.
The first batch of medicinal ingredients did not enter Xiao Yan's sharp eyes. However, there were still a number of tier 3 and tier 4 alchemists interested in them. After that, they started the exchange according to the rules. If these people did not have a ready-made medicinal pill, some alchemists would attempt to refine it on the spot. In an instant, the temperature of the hall rose. Some people who were not interested in the first package of medicinal ingredients only turned their eyes to the flames rising in the medicinal cauldron. They would observe the refining methods of others while feeling bored.
The group of Xiao Yan randomly noticed the other alchemists refining pills on the spot in their boredom. Not long after, Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze and shook his head. With his current ability, the alchemist refining method at this level appeared extremely simple and crude in his eyes. There was not the slightest thing for him to learn from them.
There were also some alchemists sitting in the hall without moving. The abilities of these people could be considered the upper middle level of this place. Therefore, their scenery was placed slightly higher. This first low quality medicinal ingredient seasoning obviously could not attract them. The people who felt the greatest leisure among them were naturally red-faced old men. His face was almost filled with impatience upon seeing the medicinal ingredients that he was completely uninterested in. From his appearance, it was as if he could not wait for the Thousand Medicinal House to immediately take out high-quality medicinal ingredients.
The medicinal ingredients on the stone platform diminished as time passed. However, from the dense medicinal fragrances filtered from this jade box, one could tell that/it was a high quality medicinal ingredient. Some of them even caused the red-faced elder to be moved. However, he did nothing. From the looks of it, he seemed to be ready this time.
When the medicinal ingredients on the stone platform were reduced to less than ten boxes, there were only a few people who were still sitting on their seats without moving. This included Xiao Yan and the red-faced elder.
The red-faced elder was surprised when he saw that/that group Xiao Yan did not move. He immediately frowned and glanced at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan turned his head slightly when he felt that gaze was shot. Their eyes make contact. A moment later, Xiao Yan turned around as if nothing had happened. His face did not even reveal the slightest bit of fear that the other alchemists showed when they saw the red-faced elders.
This calm attitude of Xiao Yan caused the red-faced old man to be shocked. His heart became angry. With his current ability and reputation, it had been a long time since he had felt the feeling of being ignored by others.
The alchemists who had obtained the medicinal ingredients they needed did not leave the hall. Instead, they glanced at Xiao Yan and the red-faced elder who were still sitting on their seats with interested gazes. Normally, this last part of the Pill Exchange was the true highest point …
’’ He he, next will be a batch of high quality medicinal ingredients in My Thousand Medicinal House. Our Thousand Medicinal House had paid a very expensive price for these medicinal ingredients ... ’’ Owner Yao smiled as she looked at the few jade boxes left on top of the stone platform. He gently patted her hands, and a few female servants rushed out. After which, they took out the remaining jade boxes and carried over five jade emerald boxes.
A dense medicinal fragrance suddenly floated above the large hall when these five jade boxes appeared. Quite a number of alchemists who were gently inhaling in shock surged onto their faces.
The red-faced elder, who was leaning against his chair, stood up at this moment. His eyes were rather hot as he looked at the jade boxes.
The owner of Yao's eyes swept through the hall and immediately stopped at Xiao Yan. He laughed, ” If some of you are interested in these five medicinal ingredients, please bid for them. ’
Xiao Yan's gaze was currently staring intently at the three jade boxes on the stage. In his vision, he was naturally able to see that/it was the interior of these three jade boxes was the target of his journey. They were the last three medicinal ingredients needed to refine the ‘Heaven Soul Blood Bone Pill’.
Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath and stood under the gaze of everyone in the hall. Finally, he stepped onto the rock platform.
The gazes in the hall immediately gathered on Xiao Yan after seeing this action. The quality of some of these medicinal ingredients is very high. If one wanted to exchange them, it was likely that one would have to take a tier 4 or tier 5 medicinal pill. Could it be that this fellow who seemed so young took such a medicinal pill?
Xiao Yan stopped in front of the stone platform in front of the many gazes. He smiled towards the slender and attractive Owner Yao before slowly pulling the three jade boxes in front of him. He said, ’’ Owner Yao, please tell me what kind of medicinal pill I need to make in order to exchange these three medicinal ingredients. ’’
Owner Yao smiled sweetly when she heard this. He nodded and just spoke when his face changed slightly.
A huge hand suddenly extended towards Xiao Yan while his face changed. Roughly pressing down on one of the three jade boxes. His loud voice sounded above the hall.
