Making a Move

After the white-haired old man finished explaining the elixir, the scene became even more lively.

Unlike Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, which can be passed down through a family after purchase, elixirs are consumables, meant for only one person to consume. As a result, everyone wants to have one on hand, just in case it might save their life someday.

Among the pills announced, there are quite a few that can heal injuries or provide instant bursts of healing. Therefore, their announcement immediately caused a sensation at the scene.

Seeing this sensational scene, Lin Ming was extremely pleased. After all, some of the pills he had put up for auction were among them. The higher the auction price, the greater his profits would be.

At the Jia Nan Academy, Fire Energy Points can be used as Gold Coin, but now that you've left Jia Nan Academy, you can't use Fire Energy Points in the Black Corner Region.

As a Medicine Gang, Lin Ming earned a large amount of Fire Energy from the pills he refined himself. The Liquid Energy Pill he gave to the academy in the Outer Academy also helped Lin Ming accumulate a considerable amount of Fire Energy. As a result, if Lin Ming were to exchange these Fire Energy Points for Gold Coin, he would have at least tens of millions, if not more.

Lin Ming only exchanged less than half of these Fire Energy Points for Gold Coin and corresponding resources, leaving the rest for the academy as a small compensation for the academy's cultivation of him over the years.

The Third-Grade Pill pills that Lin Ming took out to bid on this time were all exchanged using Fire Energy Points. After all, Lin Ming didn't have the extra time or interest to refine Third-Grade Pill right now.

Let alone third-grade pills, even Tier 4 Medicinal Pill are not very effective for Lin Ming to refine, unless they are some special ones.

For example, the Three-Pattern Clear Spirit Pill in the original work requires the transformation of three kinds of flames to be refined. This requires the Alchemist to have extremely high attainments in terms of attention to detail, timing, and application of Soul Power.

Lin Ming would only refine pills that were difficult to make. Of course, this was only when there was no demand. If Lin Ming himself or his family and friends needed them, Lin Ming would refine even first-grade pills if no one else could.

"120,000!"

"130,000!"

Watching the fierce bidding, Lin Ming occasionally glanced at the scene.

The auction for the elixirs lasted for more than half an hour before finally coming to an end, after which the auction moved on to a mix of other items.

Watching the items being auctioned off one by one, Lin Ming saw that although there were many good things among them, none of them were things he needed. As a result, although Lin Ming had bid, he felt it wasn't worth it after others raised the price, and so far, he hadn't bought a single item.

"Distinguished guests, our previous auction items have now come to an end. From now on, the items for auction will all be the most valuable ones, carefully selected by us. Of course, there will only be ten such items, so those who haven't yet found a satisfactory item should seize the opportunity." After finalizing the sale of one item, the white-haired old man spoke.

Upon hearing that the final auction was about to begin, not only Lin Ming, but everyone present perked up. This was especially true for those influential figures, most of whom had come specifically for the items up for auction; the more common items in the earlier rounds held no appeal for them.

As for ordinary people, they were even more interested. After all, this auction was the grandest in Black Emperor City in recent years. They had gone to great lengths to get in, and even if they couldn't participate in the bidding, it would be good to see the items. That way, when they bragged about it to their friends later, wouldn't others be green with envy?

After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he didn't waste any time and immediately ordered the maid to bring up the first item for auction.

"Distinguished guests, most of you have probably never heard of this item. Only a handful of people actually possess it. However, for certain individuals, it is an essential item." The white-haired old man spoke mysteriously as the maid brought the silver tray.

After the white-haired old man finished speaking, many people were indeed intrigued. After all, everyone harbors a fantasy of being different from others. So, after listening to the old man's explanation, many wondered if this item was a special item that only they could use.

Seeing this, Lin Ming could only say that experience truly matters. The white-haired old man's simple words had whetted the appetites of many.

"Haha! Since everyone is so excited, it wouldn't be right for me to keep you in suspense any longer. Now, let me show you the first and most anticipated item." The white-haired old man said with a smile, then lifted the curtain covering the silver tray, revealing the item to everyone.

On the silver plate, there was a slightly gray object, about the size of a fingernail. If it weren't for the projection magnifying it on site, probably only a very few people would be able to see it.

"What is this? Do you recognize it?"

"I don't know him, but you do?"

I don't know him either.

"This dull, grayish thing, no bigger than a fingernail, can be the final item at the auction? Has your Black Emperor Sect lost your mind and come here to make fun of us?"

"Could this be it?!" Ignoring the reactions of the crowd upon seeing the item, Lin Ming exclaimed in surprise after a long while.

"Lin Ming, do you know what this is?" Zi Yan asked after hearing Lin Ming's words.

"I'm not entirely sure. But if it really is, then we must buy it today no matter what." Lin Ming said firmly in response to Zi Yan's question.

After all, if this thing is indeed the item Lin Ming suspected, he probably won't need it for long. This item is extremely rare; Lin Ming has been keeping an eye out for it for many years without hearing any news. Now that he's encountered it here, he certainly can't let it go.

After all, if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would have another chance. So, after confirming its type, Lin Ming was determined to bid for it today.

"Everyone, please be patient! As the old man just mentioned, most of you probably haven't seen this item before. After I explain it to you, you'll understand why it's been chosen as one of the final items." Seeing the chorus of questions from the audience, the white-haired old man quickly spoke up to stop them.

The Black Emperor Sect's reputation still existed. After the white-haired elder spoke, the scene quickly calmed down, as everyone waited for him to explain and introduce the auction item.
