Xiao Li sat on the sofa, listening to the continuous bidding below, a smile unconsciously forming at the corner of his mouth. Elixirs were truly a huge profit.
It was true that Alchemists were wealthy, but their expenses were also significant. For instance, many medicinal Materials were precious and extremely expensive, so Alchemists never felt they had too much money.
Bidding voices rose and fell in the auction hall, one after another. In just ten minutes, the price of a Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill had risen from 350,000 to around 500,000.
Xiao Li had brought out six Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills, which would likely total three million gold coins. And then there was the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, which would probably be even more expensive.
Ultimately, the two Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills on stage sold for 1.1 million gold coins, or 550,000 gold coins each.
After one batch of Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills was auctioned off, another batch of Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills appeared.
"Haha, everyone, don't be in a hurry. This time, there are a full six Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills! The starting bid is still 330,000!"
"400,000!"
"450,000!"
Elixirs were extremely important on the Fighting Qi Continent, which was why Alchemists were so revered. Almost all forces needed to curry favor with Alchemists.
The Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill stirred up the auction's atmosphere. After the Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill auction concluded, it was time for the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill!
"Haha, everyone, the Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill just now was merely an appetizer. I'm sure you all recognize this Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, a Rank 4 Peak Elixir that can allow a Great Dou Master to advance by one star in strength, and it doesn't have much resistance. The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill can be taken twice consecutively!
That is to say, if a Great Dou Master could acquire two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills, he could steadily increase his strength by two stars. Alright, the bidding starts at 500,000!"
Another wave of frantic bidding erupted. The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill directly drew many emerging forces from the Black-Corner Region into the bidding, as boosting a Great Dou Master's cultivation by two stars was simply too tempting.
Great Dou Master could be said to be the backbone of these forces, their core strength. Helping these mainstays quickly advance past the Great Dou Master level to reach a Dou Ling was a guaranteed profitable venture.
The three Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills were eventually driven up to a price of over three million, equivalent to one million gold coins per Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, which was truly astonishing.
Next, a medicinal material appeared, or more precisely, a fruit, named Azure Nether Fruit. The Azure Nether Fruit was one of the main Materials for refining the Rank 6 Elixir, Azure Nether Longevity Pill.
The Azure Nether Longevity Pill could extend one's Lifespan by nearly ten years, and a person could only take one in their lifetime. This Azure Nether Longevity Pill was extremely expensive.
For example, if Xiao Ting didn't have Elixir support, he could only peacefully pass away, likely reaching barely a nine-star Dou Wang by the time he died. But if he had the Azure Nether Longevity Pill, he would have enough time to assault the Dou Huang realm.
The nearly ten years of Lifespan granted by the Azure Nether Longevity Pill could potentially be exchanged for decades or even centuries of Lifespan.
Xiao Li bought the Azure Nether Fruit for three million. In the future, he could refine Azure Nether Longevity Pills for his teacher, his grandfather, or anyone in his Family.
After the Azure Nether Fruit appeared, the auction hall seemed to gradually draw to a close, because in the following time, truly extraordinary treasures, one after another, began to emerge.
All sorts of Cultivation Techniques, Dou Techniques, and even medicinal formulas, made people dizzy, and the excited shouts of bidding filled the air.
On one occasion, a force from the back row and a VIP seat on the second floor even argued fiercely, their faces red with anger, over a Profound Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique and its matching Dou Technique.
In the end, one of them actually drew his knife, ready to strike.
However, just as the man was about to act, a whooshing sound suddenly echoed in the air of the auction hall, and a pitch-black leaf sliced directly across the man's face.
A bloody gash immediately appeared on the man's cheek, and half a breath later, blood gushed out. Everyone present was shocked! Ye Xuan had made his move. The black leaf was incredibly fast, even emitting a piercing sound.
Ye Xuan's action made the irrational forces somewhat sober. Acting on someone else's territory was akin to stirring up trouble with a powerful entity, wasn't it?

Ye Xuan was a powerhouse on the Black Ranking. His ranking was earned through real combat. Did they really think he had no temper?
As the auction was nearing its final conclusion, a heavy-hitting auction item finally appeared—a scroll of Dou Technique.
"Sky Shattering Meteorite Fist, an offensive Dou Technique, Earth Rank Low-grade!"
Ye Xuan's voice instantly plunged the entire noisy auction into silence. Countless crimson gazes abruptly turned towards the dark silver scroll on the crystal platform, and hurried breaths, like bellows, whistled through the air.
"I already took the Heavenly Flame Slash, and he still has more?" Xiao Li said, speechless. It was truly outrageous.
"Haha, Lier, the Ye Family is a colossal entity. At its Peak, the Family even had Dou Zun powerhouses. The Ye Family was once one of the five great Families of the Pill Tower, with extraordinary strength and influence.
Oh! I almost forgot, I haven't introduced you to the forces of Central Continent yet. From a general perspective, the forces of Central Continent can be simply referred to as: One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions.
That one tower is the Pill Tower, which is the Holy Land for Alchemists across the entire Fighting Qi Continent. As far as I know, the Pill Tower truly has Dou Saints."
Elder Wang explained to Xiao Li in an immersive manner. While the master and disciple pair were relatively calm, the auction hall outside had already descended into chaos.
"Earth Rank Dou Technique, it's mine!" A Dou Wang's eyes were bloodshot, full of greed, as he charged forward with a heavy hammer.
"Courting death!"
Ye Xuan stomped his foot, and countless black vines grew out, directly piercing through the Dou Wang's body and tearing his Physical Body apart. The originally magnificent auction hall instantly became bloody.
The death of one Dou Wang did not deter the greedy. Four or five people stood out, all with Dou Qi wings, all powerhouses above the Dou Wang level.
"Ye Xuan! Hand over the Earth Rank Dou Technique, and I can spare your Xuan Ye Sect!"
The leader burst forth with Dou Qi, revealing himself to be a Dou Huang powerhouse! A Dou Huang powerhouse leading several Dou Wangs to forcibly seize an Earth Rank Dou Technique was quite reasonable.
"A mere two-star Dou Huang, yet you dare to be so presumptuous here?" Ye Xuan roared in anger, black vines continuously spreading around him.
"Haha, Ye Xuan, you are indeed very strong, but no matter how strong you are, how can you stop so many of us?" The leading Dou Huang laughed loudly.
"Hmph, I knew you lawless scoundrels would act like this. Do you think I came unprepared? Elder Three, it's up to you!" Ye Xuan stepped back a few paces, yielding the stage.
Boom——
A large, orange-yellow flame hand appeared in the center of the arena, directly seizing the leading Dou Huang.
"Dou Huang Peak!"
On the second-floor VIP area, in the VIP room belonging to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
"Haha, unworldly fellows. Do they really think that becoming a Dou Huang means they can do whatever they want? Don't they understand what the Xuan Ye Sect relies on to run such a large auction house in the Black-Corner Region?"
A beautiful woman lay sideways on the sofa. She looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but the aura around her was incredibly restrained yet extremely terrifying—she was also a Dou Huang powerhouse.
"Elder Huang, what are we here for at the Xuan Ye Auction this time?" Behind the sofa, another woman stood. Her aura indicated she was a Dou Wang powerhouse!
"Haha, Lu Man, don't be in a hurry. Of course, we're here to see some good things. It's said that this auction has Rank 7 Elixirs and Earth Rank Intermediate Cultivation Techniques. Earth Rank Intermediate Cultivation Techniques, ah.
Even a powerful force like the Heavenly Serpent Mansion doesn't have many Earth Rank Intermediate Cultivation Techniques. We naturally want as much of this kind of thing as possible."
The Heavenly Serpent Mansion Elder Huang, lying on the sofa, said with a chuckle.
