Chapter 15: Alarming the Divine Sea Country

Supreme quality?

Yang Xiaotian wasn't surprised.

The first time he refined the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, it was already of high quality, even possibly premium quality. Now that he had broken through to the Innate level, the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid he refined was even more pure. It was normal for it to reach supreme quality.

But Wen Jingyi was excited as she opened the second jade bottle.

It was another batch of supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!

When she opened the third bottle, her hands started to shake.

Indeed.

The third bottle was also supreme quality.

The fourth bottle, the fifth bottle—by the time she opened the tenth bottle, Wen Jingyi's hands were not just shaking anymore.

All of them were of supreme quality, all of them were supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.

After opening all fourteen jade bottles, Wen Jingyi took deep breaths, trying to calm her inner turmoil, but it remained difficult to settle.

She dared to guarantee that even her family head had likely never seen this many supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids.

In the Divine Sea Country, premium quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid occasionally appeared, but supreme quality was almost never seen.

The last time supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid appeared in the Divine Sea Country seemed to be more than a decade ago, and there was only one batch. Even so, it still sparked a frantic auction among many families and sects.

But now, there were as many as fourteen batches of supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.

Elixirs, consumed for cultivation, always have some side effects. However, the higher the quality, the smaller the side effects, and with supreme quality elixirs, the side effects are so minimal they could be disregarded.

Therefore, whenever a supreme quality elixir appears, it triggers a crazy auction from all sides.

"Sir, did you refine these fourteen batches of supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid?" Wen Jingyi asked, her voice trembling.

"You're asking too many questions," said Yang Xiaotian indifferently.

Wen Jingyi's heart chilled, and she hurriedly said, "Yes, I was presumptuous," and then asked, "May I know what your plans are for selling these supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids? Are you going to sell them directly to our commerce guild, or are you planning to auction them?"

"To sell directly, what's the price?" Yang Xiaotian asked.

"If sold directly, for one batch, two thousand five hundred gold, how about that?" Wen Jingyi pondered for a moment and carefully asked Yang Xiaotian, her face tense.

Yang Xiaotian was surprised, not expecting the supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to be so valuable. A typical medium quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid generally only cost five to six hundred gold.

Now, for fourteen batches, wasn't that thirty-five thousand gold?

Yang Xiaotian's heart raced.

Thirty-five thousand gold—likely many families in Xingyue City couldn't come up with that much.

At that moment, Wen Jingyi anxiously said, "If it's an auction, the prices would be higher, but with so many supreme quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquids, our commerce guild would need to promote and prepare for a while. We would need at least a month to hold the auction."

"Then let's sell directly," said Yang Xiaotian without a second thought. He urgently needed money, and waiting a month was too long.

"Very well, please wait, sir!" Wen Jingyi, hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to sell directly, couldn't help feeling ecstatic. If the person sold them directly to their commerce guild, once they promoted the auction, the profit would increase substantially.

Shortly, Wen Jingyi took out thirty-five thousand gold and handed it to Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian waved his hand and took away the thirty-five thousand gold.

Seeing the thirty-five thousand gold disappear, Wen Jingyi was inwardly shocked, realizing that this man in black must have a Space Ring, which was how he could vanish the mountain-like thirty-five thousand gold on the spot.

"I'd like to buy some medicinal materials from you," Yang Xiaotian said as he put away the gold and took out a list of materials.

Wen Jingyi took the list and, seeing the densely packed list of materials, was greatly astonished. Only the preparation for refining Innate Spirit Pills required so many materials.

And the pills he planned to refine were definitely not ordinary Innate Spirit Pills.

This is nearly a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs.

An ordinary Innate Spirit Pill would not require so many precious ingredients.

Could the person before me be a two-star alchemist? Wen Jingyi's heart raced.

A two-star alchemist was even rarer than a Martial King Realm powerhouse.

If one could refine a high-quality Innate Spirit Pill, that status would be even more revered.

"Sir, we have some of these herbs at the Xingyue City Commerce Guild, but some are only available at our main guild," Wen Jingyi said respectfully.

After learning that the person before her might be a two-star alchemist, she became even more respectful.

"Only available at the main guild?" Yang Xiaotian furrowed his brows.

"Don't worry, sir, I can have the main guild ship the herbs right away, and they will arrive in two days," Wen Jingyi quickly added.

Yang Xiaotian nodded.

He then purchased all the ingredients available at the Xingyue City Commerce Guild for refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

He spent over four thousand gold.

However, the ingredients from the Xingyue City Commerce Guild were not abundant; they were enough for him to refine at most two Four Symbols Spirit Pills.

"Only two pills?" Yang Xiaotian was somewhat helpless.

However, he also knew that the ingredients for refining an Innate Spirit Pill were scarce; two pills would have to do for now. He would find other ways to procure more from larger guilds in other cities later on.

After securing the ingredients, Yang Xiaotian retreated into the shadows and disappeared in the blink of an eye before Wen Jingyi.

Watching Yang Xiaotian vanish eerily before her eyes, Wen Jingyi felt a chill run down her spine.

She had never heard of such an ability before.

Was it an invisibility martial skill? Or was it a Martial Soul ability? If it were a Martial Soul, then it must be terrifying. Such a fearsome invisibility ability would mean that the level of his Martial Soul was exceedingly high.

It was very likely to be a superior Martial Soul!

Wen Jingyi's heart raced with this thought.

After returning to the Yang Family Manor, Yang Xiaotian continued to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art and the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique.

The next day.

News that the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild in Xingyue City would auction off fourteen servings of high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid quickly spread throughout the city, and then at an astonishing rate to the surrounding major cities.

Eventually, almost the entire Divine Sea Country knew about it.

Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, the whole Divine Sea Country was in an uproar.

"What, fourteen servings of high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!" Chen Yuan and other high-ranking members of the Divine Sword Academy were equally shocked.

Lin Yong, the headmaster of Divine Sword Academy, pondered, "I've made some inquiries. The Xingyue City Wind Cloud Commerce Guild will auction off two servings each time, in seven sessions. Moreover, these fourteen servings of high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid were sold directly to the Commerce Guild by a person in black."

He surveyed everyone, "This person in black also purchased a large batch of ingredients for refining Innate Spirit Pills from the Commerce Guild; they must be a two-star alchemist."

"These fourteen servings of high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid must be this person's creations."

The high-ranking members of the Divine Sword Academy were no less amazed.

High-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid was extremely difficult to refine; some alchemists might not be able to produce it in their entire lifetime. If these fourteen servings were indeed refined by this individual in black, their alchemy level was astonishingly high.

"Do we know what this person looks like?" Chen Yuan asked, "If we could invite such a person to become an elder of our Divine Sword Academy, our academy's strength would surely surge. With such an individual presiding over our academy, countless talents from the Divine Sea Country and even neighboring countries would scramble to join the Divine Sword Academy."

What Chen Yuan said was not an exaggeration; just the ability to refine high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid was enough to attract countless talents from the Divine Sea Country and neighboring nations.

Lin Yong shook his head, "The person was shrouded in black mist, so Wen Jingyi from the Wind Cloud Commerce Guild couldn't make out their face. They know only that the person has a short stature; however, such a person, how would they be willing to join our Divine Sword Academy? Let's not waste our efforts."
