Alchemist's Handbook!

When Flowing Cloud's consciousness entered the Storage Ring, everything inside immediately appeared before his eyes.

A transparent bottle containing a Green Pill.

A purple Magical Beast Egg.

A black scroll.

These were the items Nameless had brought back from the Black Corner Region.

With a thought from Flowing Cloud, everything in the Storage Ring instantly appeared in the courtyard.

Flowing Cloud first picked up the transparent bottle containing the Green Pill.

"Nameless, what kind of pill is this?"

Unable to discern the Green Pill's effects or grade, Flowing Cloud turned to Nameless and asked.

"Reporting to Master, this is a Qi Gathering Pill, a Third-grade Pill."

"After taking it, one's strength at the Da Dou Shi realm can be improved."

"This Qi Gathering Pill was obtained in exchange for auctioning the Ice Soul Sword," Nameless answered truthfully.

"Qi Gathering Pill!"

Flowing Cloud froze for a moment before delight surged through his heart.

In Wutan City, the strongest few people were all at the Da Dou Shi realm.

To them, this Qi Gathering Pill was undoubtedly a priceless treasure!

If he put this Qi Gathering Pill up for auction next time, those people would likely buy it even if it meant losing their entire fortunes.

At the thought, a smile appeared at the corner of Flowing Cloud's lips.

If this Third-grade Qi Gathering Pill was successfully auctioned, what kind of treasure would he receive in return?

Then, Flowing Cloud turned his gaze to the purple Magical Beast Egg.

"Nameless, what's with this egg?"

Flowing Cloud was somewhat puzzled. Why had he brought back an egg?

Could it be the egg of some high-tier Magical Beast?

"Reporting to Young Master, this egg belongs to a Sixth-tier Magical Beast, the Iron Winged Giant Eagle. It can hatch into an Iron Winged Giant Eagle cub," Nameless replied.

"Sixth-tier Magical Beast, Iron Winged Giant Eagle!"

Flowing Cloud was startled. This was a Sixth-tier Magical Beast, and a Flying Magical Beast at that. It was extremely valuable!

Thinking of this, Flowing Cloud found himself in a difficult position.

A Sixth-tier Magical Beast Egg was practically priceless. It simply could not be auctioned off in a small place like Wutan City.

Under normal circumstances, treasures of such immense value, those reaching the sixth grade or Earth Tier, could not be measured in Gold Coins.

They could only be auctioned through barter.

Especially in a place as chaotic as the Black Corner Region, where Gold Coins were difficult to circulate, auctions could only be conducted through barter.

The Ice Soul Sword and Sky Covering Palm scroll Nameless had taken to the Black Corner Region this time had both been auctioned in this manner.

"Forget it. I'll keep it for now and auction it off once I become stronger."

After hesitating for a moment, Flowing Cloud made his decision.

If he put it up for auction now, it would not merely shock all of Wutan City. The entire Jia Ma Empire would probably be thrown into an uproar.

This was a Sixth-tier Magical Beast Egg!

If it hatched, it could very likely be raised into an Iron Winged Giant Eagle with Dou Huang-level strength in the future.

Such temptation would likely make even the imperial family act to seize it.

Even the lofty Misty Cloud Sect would probably be tempted!

Besides, if Ya Fei learned that this was a Sixth-tier Magical Beast Egg, she likely would not agree to auction it either.

Otherwise, the Mite'er Family might very well expel her from the family.

Auction a Sixth-tier Magical Beast Egg?

That would be courting death!

Flowing Cloud had every reason to believe that after the Mite'er Family's upper ranks learned of this Magical Beast Egg, they would definitely choose to keep it within the family rather than auction it.

Taking all these factors into account, Flowing Cloud decided to wait until he was strong enough before putting it up for auction.

The strong were respected. Only with sufficient strength would he no longer need to consider so many external factors.

Finally, Flowing Cloud turned his gaze to the last black scroll.

"This is..."

"An Alchemist's Handbook left behind by an alchemist?"

After examining the black scroll for a while, a look of surprise appeared on Flowing Cloud's face as he looked at Nameless with uncertainty.

"Reporting to Master, this is indeed an Alchemist's Handbook left behind by an alchemist."

Nameless explained, "When the Earth Tier Mid-grade Sky Covering Palm was auctioned that day, the competition was too fierce. In the end, someone completed the transaction with an Iron Winged Giant Eagle Egg and this Alchemist's Handbook."

An Earth Tier Mid-grade Dou Technique was exceptionally precious no matter where it appeared.

Whenever an Earth Tier Dou Technique emerged, it would trigger a bloody storm.

"I see."

After hearing Nameless's explanation, Flowing Cloud finally nodded in understanding.

That made sense. Although a Sixth-tier Magical Beast Egg was valuable, it was still somewhat lacking when compared to an Earth Tier Dou Technique.

With this Alchemist's Handbook added in, their values were barely comparable.

Flowing Cloud then carefully examined the Alchemist's Handbook and discovered that it had been left behind by a Fifth-grade Alchemist.

It recorded alchemy insights from the first grade through the fifth grade, along with five or six pill formulas.

Among them was even a formula for a Fifth-grade Pill.

After reading it, Flowing Cloud was somewhat pleased.

With this Alchemist's Handbook, he might be able to cultivate a Fifth-grade Alchemist.

Of course, that was not certain.

After all, being an alchemist was a profession that placed great importance on talent.

Without sufficient talent, everything was merely wishful thinking.

Even so, this Alchemist's Handbook was still worth a fortune.

Especially to alchemists.

If Flowing Cloud spread word of this Alchemist's Handbook, he could definitely recruit quite a few low-grade alchemists to serve him.

As he looked at the Alchemist's Handbook in his hand, Flowing Cloud thought of someone.

Master Gu Ni!

Master Gu Ni was a Second-grade Alchemist currently stationed at the Mittel Auction House.

Although Flowing Cloud held absolute authority at the Mittel Auction House,

there was one person who did not need to heed him: Master Gu Ni.

As a Second-grade Alchemist, he naturally had the right to be proud.

Without Master Gu Ni stationed at the Mittel Auction House, Ya Fei would not have gained a firm foothold in Wutan City so quickly.

It could be said that if Flowing Cloud wanted to completely control the Mittel Auction House, he had to bring Master Gu Ni under his command.

In the dozen or so days since arriving in Wutan City, Master Gu Ni had never come to see Flowing Cloud, and Flowing Cloud had not gone to see him either.

Since the other party did not respect him, Flowing Cloud naturally would not eagerly go and make a fool of himself.

For a proud alchemist like Master Gu Ni, taking the initiative to curry favor would only make him look down on you.

Before he had the strength to completely subdue him, Flowing Cloud naturally would not seek out humiliation.

Now, however, the Alchemist's Handbook in his hand gave Flowing Cloud an opportunity.

Master Gu Ni was merely a Second-grade Alchemist. Flowing Cloud refused to believe that a Fifth-grade Alchemist's Handbook could not subdue him.

At the thought, a confident smile appeared at the corner of Flowing Cloud's lips.

After putting away the Alchemist's Handbook, Flowing Cloud kept only the transparent bottle containing the Qi Gathering Pill.

Neither the Iron Winged Giant Eagle Egg nor the Alchemist's Handbook could be auctioned in Wutan City. Thus, the only thing that could be used in this auction was this single Qi Gathering Pill.

Although this one Third-grade Qi Gathering Pill alone was enough to ensure the auction's success,

Flowing Cloud still felt somewhat unsatisfied.

With the Auction Ten Thousand Times Return System, the more items he auctioned, the greater the benefits Flowing Cloud would naturally receive.
