Mite'er Tengshan's Shock!

One day later, Xiao Yan arrived at the Imperial Capital.

The Miteer Auction House was situated on the most prosperous street in the Imperial Capital, its towering gatehouse possessing an extraordinary air of grandeur.

Several guards stood at the entrance, and upon seeing Xiao Yan approach, they immediately recognized him.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, the President has been waiting for you."

One of the guards stepped forward and spoke.

Xiao Yan nodded and walked inside.

Passing through the front hall and walking along the corridor toward the interior, he soon reached the door of the President's office.

The door was open, and Mite'er Tengshan was sitting inside, drinking tea.

Seeing Xiao Yan, he immediately stood up.

"Little Friend Xiao Yan, you've arrived?"

As he spoke, Mite'er Tengshan came forward to greet him, a smile hanging on his face.

"Sit, sit, sit. I've had someone brew some new tea; you should try it."

Xiao Yan waved his hand. "No need. I came because I want to purchase some medicinal herbs."

Mite'er Tengshan did not insist, sitting back down in his chair and looking at him.

"What medicinal herbs? Tell me."

Xiao Yan took a list out of his Storage Ring and handed it over.

Taking the list, Mite'er Tengshan read through it carefully, his brows knitting slightly.

"These medicinal herbs... are of quite high grade."

"Mm," Xiao Yan said.

"A ten-thousand-year-old Snow Spirit Ganoderma, a rank seven fire-attribute monster core, and this ingredient..."

Raising his head, Mite'er Tengshan looked at Xiao Yan, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Little Friend Xiao Yan, may I ask, what pill are these herbs for?"

Xiao Yan glanced at him. "The Imperial Extreme Pill."

Mite'er Tengshan was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the list again.

"The Imperial Extreme Pill? That can't be right. Although this old man cannot refine pills, I have seen many pill formulas."

"The ingredients for the Imperial Extreme Pill are not these."

"The Imperial Extreme Pill I refine is different," Xiao Yan said.

Mite'er Tengshan became even more curious. "How is it different?"

"An enhanced version."

Upon hearing these three words, Mite'er Tengshan froze.

"What enhanced version?"

"I have modified the original formula," Xiao Yan said. "It can eliminate the restriction that one can only take the Imperial Extreme Pill once in a lifetime."

Mite'er Tengshan's hand trembled, and the list nearly fell to the floor.

"What did you say?"

His voice had changed.

"The Imperial Extreme Pill I refine can be taken multiple times," Xiao Yan said. "It is not limited by the number of uses."

Mite'er Tengshan stared at Xiao Yan for a long time, trying to find a trace of a joke on his face.

But that face was terrifyingly calm, without a hint of mockery.

"Little Friend Xiao Yan, do you know what you are saying?"

"I do."

"The formula for the Imperial Extreme Pill has been passed down for a long time; for thousands of years, no one has been able to alter it," Mite'er Tengshan's voice was trembling.

"You are saying you changed it?"

"Yes," Xiao Yan said indifferently.

Mite'er Tengshan fell silent.

He had spent most of his life at the Miteer Auction House, seeing countless alchemists and hearing of countless pill formulas.

But he had never heard of a single person who could alter the formula of the Imperial Extreme Pill.

Let alone seeing it, he hadn't even heard of it.

Yet, Xiao Yan's demeanor did not look like he was lying.

"Little Friend Xiao Yan, let this old man ask one more thing," Mite'er Tengshan lowered his voice. "This enhanced version you speak of, can it really be taken multiple times?"

"I can."

"It will never fail, not even once?"

"It will not."

Mite'er Tengshan took a deep breath and leaned back into his chair.

A tempest was raging within his heart.

Imperial Extreme Pill.

The key medicinal pill for a Dou Emperor to increase their strength.

Yet, it was an ironclad rule that each Dou Emperor could only consume it once.

For thousands of years, countless alchemists had attempted to break this restriction, and not one had succeeded.

And yet, the fifteen-year-old youth before him claimed to have done it.

If this were true, the entire Dou Qi Continent would be shaken to its core.

"Very well." Mite'er Tengshan stood up. "I will help you find these medicinal ingredients."

"I guarantee they will be in your hands within a day."

Xiao Yan nodded. "How much will it cost?"

"Money is not the priority." Mite'er Tengshan waved his hand.

"Fine."

Xiao Yan stood up, turned, and left.

As he reached the doorway, Mite'er Tengshan suddenly called out to him.

"Young Friend Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan paused and turned his head.

"This old man dares to ask: what is your current alchemist rank?"

Xiao Yan glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Mite'er Tengshan stood rooted to the spot, staring at the empty doorway, unable to recover his senses for a long time.

After Xiao Yan left, Mite'er Tengshan sat back down, his expression grave.

His heart was still churning.

Fifteen years old.

An alchemist capable of altering the formula for an Imperial Extreme Pill.

What kind of concept was this?

Across the entire Dou Qi Continent, which of the alchemists who could reach such a level wasn't an old monster who had lived for decades?

Yet, Xiao Yan was only fifteen.
