"Welcome all distinguished guests to the Jinding Auction..." To enhance the atmosphere, the first few lots were all good and quickly stirred up the atmosphere.

When everyone was bidding, Luo Guan remained silent.

Halfway through the auction, a bottle of elixir was presented to the stage.

The auctioneer loudly said: "Next, is lot number 21."

"Everyone knows that there is not one cultivator in a hundred, and there is not even one cultivator in a million who can become an alchemist!"

"Any high-level alchemy master is sought after by all parties. The pills they refine have a very small chance of leaking out, just like today..."

His tone suddenly became passionate, "The second-level blood-raising pill can strengthen the qi and blood in the body. It is suitable for martial arts and below. It will be more helpful if swallowed when breaking through the realm."

"Twenty pieces in a bottle, the starting price is one thousand taels of gold, start bidding!"

The auction house was filled with excitement.

In the small city of Jiangning, no alchemist has ever been born, but they all know what it means to have pills that enhance their practice!

If you get it, whether you use it for yourself or to train the younger generations of the family, it is possible to change the fate of the family.

Practice is the foundation of everything.

"Two thousand taels!"

"Two thousand five hundred taels!"

"Three thousand!"

In today's auction, many people came just for the Blood Ascension Pill.

The fierce competition quickly eliminated most of the competitors, and the price of the Blood-rising Pill reached an astonishing four thousand taels of gold.

"Three of the four major clans, Wu, Yan, Kang, Luo, and Jiangning, are here!"

"Who doesn't want this kind of elixir? As long as you can get it, it's worth paying a big price!"

"It's a pity that we can't compete for it at all."

Everyone was talking a lot.

"Five thousand taels!" Yan Hua's eyes burned, "I'm going to order this bottle of blood-raising elixir."

The head of the Wu family gritted his teeth, "Five thousand five hundred taels..."

"Six thousand taels!"

Yan Hua looked relaxed.

The head of the Wu family slumped and looked up.

Five thousand taels of gold would strain the Wu family, and anything more would cause big trouble.

"It is rumored that an associated gold mine was discovered in the Yanjia mine. Now it seems that it is probably true."

"The Yan family took over the Luo family's medicinal industry back then, and their strength is already the first among the four major families. Now that they have obtained the elixir, they may dominate Jiangning in a few years!"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded.

"Seven thousand taels."

A moment of silence!

Countless eyes gathered, and Luo Guan sat still. This calmness made everyone mutter, wondering where the dragon crossing the river came from.

Yan Hua's face was gloomy, "Eight thousand taels!"

"Nine thousand."

Yan Hua's eyes twitched sharply and he stared at Luo Guan fiercely, "Ten thousand taels!"

"If your Excellency offers more, this bottle of blood-raising elixir will be yours."

Under the black robe, Luo Guan sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Ten thousand...zero one tael."

Wow——

Everyone exclaimed!

This is clear, and the Yan family will not be given any face.

Yan Hua's eyes were cold, "Okay! Very good!"

A man who can afford ten thousand taels of gold will not dare to act rashly until he knows the details.

Soon, the manager of Jinding Auction House came over and said, "Dear guest, please come with us to make the delivery."

Luo Guan stood up and came to the VIP room.

"How are you going to pay for it?"

Luo Guan said calmly: "Don't worry, go and invite your master."

Faced with the high-roller who spent millions of dollars, the auction house manager hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

After a while, Jin Ya opened the door and came in with a bright and moving smile, "I've seen this distinguished guest."

Luo Guan said calmly: "The nature of fire-based skills is violent. If you are eager to advance in the realm, you will feel the pain of burning fire at midnight every day."

Jin Ya's face changed drastically, her secret was revealed at a glance. She took a deep breath and bowed respectfully, "Senior, do you need me to help you with something?"

Appreciation flashed in Luo Guan's eyes, and he continued to make a hoarse voice, "I am traveling here, and I need ten thousand taels of gold for trivial matters." He nodded at the jade bottle on the table, "In return, you will provide materials and utensils, and I will make a furnace.

How about blood pills, more than forty pills?"

Jin Ya's eyes widened suddenly, her heart pounding, "You...are you an alchemist?"

Luo Guan nodded.

Jin Ya has an unrealistic feeling like she is in a dream!

Jinding cooperates with two alchemists so that it can occasionally obtain the elixirs refined by them, but these top-notch resources can only be accessed by the ancestors.

But now, an alchemist actually appeared in front of her!

"Yes, of course!" She took a deep breath and her tone was extremely respectful, "I don't know how I can contact my senior?"

Luo Guandao: "At this time tomorrow, I will come again."

Get up and leave.

The steward said: "Miss, do you really believe that he is an alchemist?"

Jin Ya's eyes were bright, "It doesn't matter if it's fake. I don't have to worry about selling the Blood-rising Pill, but if it's real... I can take the opportunity to establish contact with a powerful alchemist!"

After leaving the auction house and making sure that no one was following him, Luo Guan took off his black robe and returned home.

The night was like water, but he was not sleepy, sitting cross-legged and silently practicing the sword skills of the Twelve Emperors of the Wilderness.

Soon, one night passed.

Luo Guan tidied up for a while and went to see his father.

Luo Zhenyang is still sleeping. According to Xuangui, after suffering from pain for many years, it is normal for him to sleep for three or two days, which is also good for the body.

Instructing his servants to look after him carefully, Luo Guan returned to his room to continue practicing.

As the skill was running, strands of sword breath continued to emerge and circulate in the body. However, as the sword breath increased, there was some stinging, blockage, and sluggish circulation.

Luo Guan didn't dare to be careless and asked Xuangui.

Xuangui said: "Although you have taken the Earth Fire Red Lotus, it is only initially absorbed. It will take time to complete the body tempering."

Luo Guan thought for a while, "Teacher, what do you mean, is the disciple progressing too fast?"

"...That's about it." Xuangui coughed lightly, "A little progress is nothing. You should always remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity!"

Luo Guan said respectfully: "Teacher is right." He looked troubled again, "Can the disciple still practice in the future?"

Xuan Gui said: "Hang on for a moment, until my master instructs you to prepare a medicinal bath to speed up the absorption of medicinal power. It will not affect your cultivation."

Luo Guan opened his eyes, looked at the darkening sky, and stood up to go out.

Soon, he arrived at Jinding Auction House.

Jin Ya waited for a long time and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Greetings to my senior."

There were so many people and so many eyes, Luo Guan said: "Let's talk after we go in."

"yes!"

Jin Ya personally led the way and introduced Luo Guan to Jindingxuan, "The preparations for refining the blood-raising elixir are complete. Would you like to take a short rest or go directly to the alchemy room?"

Luo Guan said calmly: "Alchemy room."

Jin Dingxuan's alchemy room is underground and is heavily guarded.

Jin Ya ordered people to put down the materials, "Senior, do you need anything else?"

Luo Guan shook his head.

Jin Ya said: "We will come back after senior pulls the rope."

After saying this, he bowed respectfully and led the people away.
