The highest bidder wins
As the dust settled, those outside could see the situation inside. Xiao Yu was still standing in his place, but the black stone platform in front of him had turned into a small pit. In front of Xiao Yu was a dark gold Medicine Cauldron that looked extremely noble!
"This is impossible!" Zhao Feiyun suddenly shouted upon seeing this scene.
Yan Xixi was slightly taken aback when she saw this scene. Even with her sharp eyesight, she couldn't see how Xiao Yu had transferred the pills into the Medicine Cauldron in the instant the furnace exploded!
On the high platform, Mu Lanfa and the others suddenly became solemn, because they could still see something. The Medicine Cauldron in front of Xiao Yu was not a real Medicine Cauldron at all. He simply protected the pills inside the Medicine Cauldron at the moment of the explosion, and then used the Condensing Fire and Forming Cauldron Technique to reshape a Medicine Cauldron!
What truly shocked everyone was Xiao Yu's technique of Flame Condensation Cauldron Technique. Even the four presidents of the Alchemist Guild couldn't Flame Condensation Cauldron Technique, yet this alchemist participating in the Alchemist Tournament actually Flame Condensation Cauldron Technique. This made the three of them turn their attention to Fama.
Luo Jingyao Fama with a serious expression and said, "Old man Pharaoh, is this kid really from your Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Guild?"
Upon hearing this, Fama's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. He simply smiled faintly at Luo Jingyao and said, "Otherwise, where do you think I could find such a promising alchemist with such superb alchemy skills?"
Luo Jingyao thought to herself, "That's true!"
However, Mu Lanfa immediately looked at Fama and asked, "Does Pill King Gu He have a disciple?"
Fama and said, "I know what you're going to say, but I can tell you definitively that Xiao Yu and Pill King Gu He have absolutely no relation. Pill King Gu He's disciple is named Liu Ling!"
After hearing this, the group fell silent. Fama had no idea what these people were thinking, and he didn't care what they were thinking either. Fama had known for a long time that the three great empires had ill intentions about this Alchemist Tournament, which was why he had invited Xiao Yu to come. As for their suspicions about Xiao Yu, Fama didn't care!
Xiao Yu, who was in the square, was unaware that the several guild leaders on the high platform were eager to know his identity. He was focused on the Medicine Cauldron in front of him, and a crimson pill was gradually taking shape inside the Medicine Cauldron.
"It smells so good!"
When the surrounding alchemists caught a whiff of the medicinal fragrance, they couldn't help but take a deep breath and sigh in admiration.
"The pill is complete!" Xiao Yu shouted softly, and his palm reached directly into the fire cauldron. The moment his palm touched the fire cauldron, the fire cauldron quietly disappeared, and the Crimson Soul Pill was caught in Xiao Yu's hand without any warning!
Xiao Yu glanced around, then looked at Huo Yue'er and said, "Watch out for your fire!"
"Ah!" Huo Yue'er suddenly came to her senses and saw that the flames she was controlling inside the Medicine Cauldron had grown much larger, and the medicinal herbs were almost turned to ashes. Fortunately, she managed to control the flames at the last moment!
Xiao Yu walked down from the plaza and went straight to the high platform. Fama greeted him with a smile, saying, "I didn't expect you to be the first person to successfully refine the pill!"
Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "This time, the extraction of medicinal materials for the pills took a little longer, but thankfully, the pills are finally finished!"
Xiao Yu opened his palm, and a crimson pill the size of a longan appeared in his hand. The other three guild leaders also gathered around, looking curiously at the pill in Xiao Yu 'Xiao Yu hand.
"Sixth Grade Pills, the Crimson Soul Pill, can increase an alchemist's Soul Power by one small level!" Xiao Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Fama and the other three exclaimed in surprise, "It can increase Soul Power by one level?"
Such an effect made them forget about the grade of the pill, because the increase in Soul Power was truly astonishing!
As we all know, an alchemist's alchemy skills are related to talent, and an alchemist's talent is directly linked to their Soul Power. If an alchemist's Soul Power cannot be improved in their lifetime, then no matter how strong their alchemy skills are, they will not achieve much!
Now, whether it's Fama or the other three guild leaders, as Peak Fifth-Grade Alchemist, they all know that their alchemy skills have reached their peak within the fifth grade. The only way to break through now is to cultivate Soul Power!
At this moment, all four guild leaders showed burning desire for the Crimson Soul Pill in Xiao Yu's hand, and they all secretly resolved to get their hands on this pill!
Fama stepped forward and said, "Xiao Yu, look, do you want to sell these pills? How about we keep them internally? Don't worry, the price is negotiable!"
Seeing Fama make the first move, the other three cursed him under their breath as an old fox. Then Luo Jingyao spoke up directly, "Hey, Xiao Yu, you see, although we're not alchemists from the same empire, we're all alchemists from the Northwest Continent, right? And you're all alchemists from the Jia Ma Empire, so it's quite inconvenient to negotiate a price, isn't it? Don't worry, I guarantee I'll give you a satisfactory price, how about it?"
At this point, the Old Woman Zhang, along with Mu Lanfa, couldn't sit still any longer. Mu Lanfa immediately made a offer. "Xiao Yu, how about I offer three Fifth Grade Pills of your Crimson Soul Pill, a Fifth Grade Pills formula, and a Mysterious Tier High-Grade Dou Skill?"
"Uh..." Before Xiao Yu could speak, his Old Woman Zhang beside him said, "My Chuyun Empire offers three Fifth Grade Pills, two original Fifth Grade Pills formulas, and two Mysterious Tier High-Grade Dou Skill!"
After finishing her speech, the Old Woman Zhang glanced at Mu Lanfa. Her offer angered Mu Lanfa, but he was helpless, since the Crimson Soul Pill was awarded to the highest bidder!
Seeing that both of them spoke directly, Luo Jingyao quickly said, "Don't rush, I'll offer five Fifth Grade Pills, plus three original Rank Fifth Grade Pills formulas and two Mysterious Tier High-Grade Dou Skill. What do you think?"
Fama, standing next to Xiao Yu, was stunned. These three old guys had actually bid such a high price for this Crimson Soul Pill. He had originally planned to buy it with two Mysterious Tier High-Grade Dou Skill and two original pill formulas for Fifth Grade Pills. Now it seemed that his vision was too narrow!
Fama looked at Xiao Yu, gritted his teeth, and said resolutely, "Don't sell it to them. How about this: I'll offer three original formulas for Fifth Grade Pills and a Earth Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. "I said, you old geezer, when did you hide a Earth-tier Dou Technique?" Luo Jingyao looked at Fama in disbelief.
Fama's offer silenced the other three. Putting aside those few Fifth Grade Pills, even their two or three Mysterious Tier High-Grade Dou Skill couldn't compare to Fama's Earth-tier Dou Technique!
And so, all four of them looked at Xiao Yu, now waiting for Xiao Yu to decide which person's offer he had his eye on!
