Refining the Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill, Heavenly Spirit Powder!

A few days passed.

Leveraging the connections and resources of the Mittel Auction House.

Finally, after several days, the materials for the Heavenly Spirit Powder had been gathered.

And they were delivered personally to the Xiao Family estate by Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House.

Upon arriving at the Xiao Family, she discovered that Xiao Ze was not in the main hall.

However, seeing Ya Fei approach—a renowned figure in Wutan City and an auctioneer for the Mittel Auction House—the Xiao Family treated her with the utmost importance.

Whether it was Xiao Zhan, the head of the clan.

Or any of the Xiao Family elders.

Every single one of them wore an expression of great surprise.

"What? Miss Ya Fei, you have come to our Xiao Family to deliver medicinal materials for a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill to Xiao Ze?"

Many of the elders were astonished.

They truly had not expected that Xiao Ze would be seeking out these specific materials.

Could it be that Xiao Ze was capable of refining a Fourth-Grade medicinal pill?

Seeing the surprised gazes of the elders.

Xiao Zhan felt incredibly gratified, a sense of immense satisfaction rising in his heart.

"That is correct. These are the materials that Young Master Xiao Ze specifically requested."

"It took several days of effort to finally gather them all."

"And so, I have brought them to Young Master Xiao Ze immediately."

"If I may be so bold as to ask, where is Young Master Xiao Ze currently? I shall deliver them to him at once."

Ya Fei said with a smile.

Xiao Zhan, as the clan head, immediately smiled and replied.

"Ze'er is likely at the back mountain of the estate right now; I shall take you there myself."

After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, Ya Fei nodded slightly.

"Then I shall trouble you, Clan Head Xiao."

The two of them then walked out of the Xiao Family's main hall together.

They headed in the direction of the Xiao Family's back mountain.

The elders sitting on both sides of the hall were now filled with shock.

They began to whisper among themselves, though they were well aware.

Some time ago, the Imperial Extreme Pill that Xiao Ze had produced was a Tier 6 medicinal pill.

A pill of such a high grade certainly could not have been refined by Xiao Ze himself.

He must have encountered some fortuitous opportunity, or perhaps a high-level master alchemist had taken him on as a disciple.

That was the only logical possibility, but the situation was completely different now.

According to what Ya Fei had just said, it was highly likely that Xiao Ze could refine a Fourth-Grade medicinal pill on his own.

Every elder's face was etched with astonishment.

"A Fourth-Grade medicinal pill—if Xiao Ze can refine that through his own power, then that is truly extraordinary."

The elders sighed to themselves in their hearts.

After a while, Xiao Zhan and Ya Fei arrived at the back mountain of the Xiao Family.

Once there, they climbed the mountain together until they reached the summit.

They saw Xiao Ze practicing there.

Xiao Zhan stepped forward and spoke first.

"Ze'er, Miss Ya Fei is here; she has come to deliver the materials for your medicinal pill."

"Young Master Xiao Ze, my apologies for taking so long to gather these materials; I am truly sorry."

Ya Fei said apologetically as she approached and addressed the Xiao Ze before her.

"It is fine." Xiao Ze waved his hand, smiling slightly.

"I should be the one thanking you, Sister Ya Fei, for making the trip yourself."

"It is nothing, nothing at all; it is only right," Ya Fei replied with a gentle smile.

She was also extremely curious in her heart, wondering what Xiao Ze intended to do with the Fourth-Grade medicinal pill once he refined it, and if he would truly entrust it to their Mittel Auction House for sale.

That would be wonderful, Ya Fei thought to herself.

Xiao Ze left the back mountain of the family estate and, after greeting his father, Xiao Zhan, he departed the Xiao Family alongside Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House.

Not long after, they arrived at the Mittel Auction House.

Upon reaching their destination, Ya Fei looked at Xiao Ze and said, "Young Master Xiao Ze, will you be refining medicinal pills later? I can find you a suitable place where I can guarantee no one will disturb you."

"That works, no problem." Xiao Ze nodded.

Under Ya Fei's arrangements, he was led to a VIP room.

The environment here was extremely quiet.

Gu Ni served as a Second-Grade Alchemist for the Mittel Auction House and was also their only auctioneer.

Ya Fei spoke from the side, "Young Master Xiao Ze, this is our Master Gu Ni, a Second-Grade Alchemist."

"Since you are both alchemists, my suggestion is that it might be better to have him stay by your side; if there is anything you need, he can assist at any time."

Hearing this, Gu Ni immediately changed his tune.

"No need, Ya Fei, I should head out."

"Do not disturb Young Master Xiao Ze while he refines his pills."

As an alchemist, Gu Ni was well aware of the rules and taboos within the profession.

Even though they were both alchemists, formulas and the like were highly private matters.

Thus, Gu Ni spoke instinctively, even though he desperately wanted to witness the grace of Young Master Xiao Ze's pill refining.

However, he could not risk the infamy of being a spy who stole medicinal formulas.

If he were to leave a negative impression on Young Master Xiao Ze, that would be far from ideal.

Most importantly, I cannot let the master alchemist behind Young Master Xiao Ze develop a negative opinion of me; that would be a loss that outweighs the gain, Gu Ni muttered to himself.

He knew very well that the Imperial Extreme Pill Xiao Ze had produced a while back was a Tier 6 medicinal pill.

There must be a teacher behind him, and Gu Ni did not want to leave a bad impression, which was why he had spoken up.

However, Xiao Ze did not seem to mind; he waved his hand and replied immediately.

"It's fine, just let Master Gu Ni watch from the side. We aren't strangers, and since we will be working together often in the future, we are friends."

Hearing Xiao Ze's words, Gu Ni was exceptionally moved, though he was also quite puzzled in his heart.

Could it be that Young Master Xiao Ze was not afraid of him peeking at the formula? On second thought, it made sense.

Even if he did peek at the formula for a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill, he was only a Second-Grade Alchemist and would be unable to refine it anyway.

Gu Ni walked into the VIP room as well, watching from the side as Xiao Ze began to refine the pills.

A ball of flame suddenly rose from Xiao Ze's hand.

He then began to refine the Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill, the Heavenly Spirit Powder.

It took him half an hour, and he did it with ease, without the slightest bit of effort.

By the time the pill was finished, Gu Ni's expression was filled with astonishment.

"For Young Master Xiao Ze to be able to refine a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill at only a dozen or so years of age—his future prospects and achievements are truly extraordinary, simply limitless."

At this moment, Xiao Ze had already placed the refined pill into a box.

He walked out of the VIP room with Gu Ni and arrived outside.

Seeing Ya Fei before him, he said, "This is the Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill, the Heavenly Spirit Powder. Help me auction it off as soon as possible."

After finishing his sentence, Xiao Ze handed the pill to Ya Fei and sat down to rest for a moment.

A line of text appeared instantly on the system panel, displaying itself before Xiao Ze's eyes.
