Chapter 191: Eighth-Grade Medicine! Accompanied by Dan Xuan

Chapter 191: Eighth-Grade Medicine! Accompanied by Dan Xuan

Xiao Ze wrote down some materials he needed on paper and called a maid from the auction house to place an advance order. Once he received the proceeds from the medicines he had auctioned, he could directly buy the materials he had pre-ordered.

The maid glanced at the pages filled with writing and quickly said she would consult with the manager of the auction house. Shortly after, a somewhat stout middle-aged man with a smile on his face entered.

"Respected Alchemist, Elder Dan said we should do our utmost to meet your needs. According to our estimates, the value of the medicines you are auctioning is enough to purchase the materials you requested in advance. Would you like us to bring them to you right away?"

Xiao Ze was surprised to hear this. After all, placing an advance order meant that others could also buy them. Having the materials in his hands was the best option.

"Of course, I appreciate it. Please extend my thanks to Elder Dan."

"If you need anything else, do not hesitate to ask me. I will take my leave now," the stout man smiled and left.

Shortly after, a more attractive maid entered the room. With a voluptuous figure and eyes that seemed to speak, she radiated charm. Unfortunately, Xiao Ze wore his cloak the entire time and could not make eye contact with her.

"Sir, these are the materials you requested," the maid placed a small box on the table, and inside the box was a storage ring.

"Understood, you may leave," Xiao Ze said casually after examining the storage ring.

The maid seemed a bit disappointed but did not dare to stay, after all, he was a noble alchemist. After bowing respectfully, she left the room.

Xiao Ze fiddled with the storage ring, transferring all the materials to his own high-level storage ring.

"It's really impressive that the Dan family, specializing in alchemy, has such a rich accumulation of materials, even in the auction house they run. The value of the medicines I'm auctioning should be equivalent to these materials, or even less. Still, I'm benefiting a bit from the Tian Dan auction house."

"With what I've accumulated before, I should now have enough materials for three Resurrection Pills. When I reach the Dan Tower, I'll have to find time to refine them."

Two days later, Xiao Ze and Qing Lin arrived at the second floor of the auction house and watched as various medicines were auctioned, broadening Xiao Ze's horizons a bit. His Jue Ying Dan medicine was in the middle range of this batch of medicines, which was a good result considering its special function.

The auction of the Jue Ying Dan also caused some excitement. After all, although it wasn't very useful for true experts, it could provide a bit more protection for the young members of the family. The strength-enhancing medicines Xiao Ze brought out were also highly sought after. After all, for a great power, there were never too many of these medicines. They were excellent as rewards for outstanding disciples, for educating the younger generations of the family, and even as gifts.

Xiao Ze did not participate in the auction, partly because he wasn't very interested in simple medicines. If they were medicinal formulas, he might have participated. Besides, until now, there were only seventh-grade pills, none attractive enough for him. And looking at it from another angle, with Xiao Ze's current accumulation, he couldn't compete with the great powers that had come prepared. Those great powers probably had their eyes set on the main and final pieces of the auction. And as expected, the penultimate piece in the auction was an eighth-grade pill with two different colors.

"Indeed, only medicines of this level can attract so many great powers," Xiao Ze listened to the auction prices changing continuously, amazed.

"Are eighth-grade medicines really that rare?" Qing Lin also knew that eighth-grade medicines were very rare but was still surprised by the continuous rise in prices.

"Of course, from the eighth grade, there's a significant change. Below the eighth grade, medicines rarely have their own consciousness, but starting from the eighth grade, medicines begin to have a rudimentary consciousness and can change shape."

"Amazing!" Qing Lin looked at the eighth-grade pill on the auction platform with admiration. Unfortunately, the eighth-grade medicine was sealed so tightly that even with her keen vision, she couldn't discern its authenticity.

Finally, this eighth-grade medicine was auctioned off at a price that left Qing Lin feeling dizzy and stunned. Xiao Ze glanced at the faction that ultimately bought it: the Burning Valley.

It seemed that the Burning Valley had no intention of participating in the auction of the last item. After all, buying an eighth-grade medicine probably would have exhausted even the Burning Valley's finances, which had come prepared. Seeing how the last eighth-grade medicine, the Tricolor Lightning, was being fiercely contested by several factions, Qing Lin said enviously, "The alchemist profession really makes a lot of money! It's a pity I'm not an alchemist, otherwise, I could help young master Xiao Ze alleviate the resource pressure."

"Why think so much, Xiao Yi Xian? When you have skills, the resources come naturally. Without skills, however many resources you have, they'll only be a gift for others."

With the auctioneer's words, the faction that finally obtained the eighth-grade medicine turned out to be the mysterious Sound Valley. Xiao Ze looked surprised at the room where the Sound Valley was located. This faction had barely been mentioned in the original work. Most of the time, when the Burning Valley was mentioned, there was an occasional reference to the Sound Valley. However, just from this auction, the Sound Valley demonstrated having a reserve equally impressive as the Burning Valley.

After the auction, the middle-aged, well-dressed man arrived at the room where Xiao Ze was.

"Respected alchemist, please wait a moment. Young master Dan Xuan wishes to see you. He is the actual person in charge of this medicine auction... What do you think?"

"Dan Xuan? Alright." Xiao Ze was a bit surprised. Wasn't Dan Xuan the future leader of the Dan family?

"Please wait here. Young master Dan Xuan will come soon." The well-dressed man clapped, and several beautiful maids entered, carrying fruits and delicacies.

"Please enjoy. We will take our leave first."

Xiao Ze looked at the fruits and delicacies in front of him and sat down to enjoy them without ceremony.

"Qing Lin, why do you think Dan Xuan is looking for me?"

"Probably interested in young master's alchemical skills."

"More or less, he probably deduced my alchemical skill level from the Jue Ying Dan."

After enjoying for a while, the door was knocked.

"I have the pleasure of meeting you, I am Dan Xuan."

"I have heard a lot about young master Dan Xuan, I am Xiao Ze." Xiao Ze also bowed politely.

"I don't know if Mr. Xiao Ze has any affiliation with any faction."

"I'm not from the Central Region."

Dan Xuan seemed surprised for a moment, but Xiao Ze continued.

"I have come to the Central Region to study at the Dan Tower. I'm afraid I cannot satisfy young master Dan Xuan's wish."

Seeing that Xiao Ze revealed his intentions, Dan Xuan didn't seem to mind and smiled.

"Actually, there's no need to refuse so quickly. Studying at the Dan Tower is not incompatible with becoming an elder of the Dan family."

Dan Xuan saw that Xiao Ze was unmoved and continued thinking for a moment before saying, "If Mr. Xiao Ze is not interested, then I will not insist."

"But since it is Mr. Xiao Ze's first time in the Central Region and you are unfamiliar with the place, and I have some matters to attend to at the Dan Tower, why don't we travel together?"

Dan Xuan's words intrigued Xiao Ze. Having someone familiar as a guide would be convenient.

"Alright, thank you for your help, Mr. Dan Xuan."
