Wutan City's Sensation, Auction of a Fourth-Grade Pill?

For Yao Chen, a fourth-tier medicinal pill was nothing worth mentioning.

Within his mind lay a vast repository of medicinal formulas, and after choosing the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill, he refined it with a casual flick of his hand.

Xiao Yan watched from the side, stunned into silence, and couldn't help but marvel once more.

I truly have no idea just how powerful Teacher was at his peak.

"This is a fourth-tier pill, and you refined it just like that? Teacher's alchemy is truly extraordinary," Xiao Yan exclaimed.

It seemed that with his teacher's help, he would surely succeed in winning the Three-Year Agreement.

Xiao Yan's heart surged with intense excitement.

Immediately after, Yao Chen placed the finished pill into his Storage Ring, donned his classic black robe, and headed for the Miter Auction House.

Upon arriving at the Miter Auction House, the guards at the entrance stopped him. "May I ask, sir, are you here to attend today's auction?"

Yao Chen replied in a cold, indifferent tone, "I am here to see Ya Fei of your Miter Auction House. Have her come out to meet me; I have a fourth-tier pill in my possession and wish to see if there is an opportunity for cooperation."

"What!" Upon hearing Yao Chen's words, the expression on the guard's face changed drastically.

It was common knowledge just how scarce alchemists were on the Dou Qi Continent.

Not to mention a fourth-tier alchemist—that was an existence as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Even Master Guni of their Miter Auction House was only a second-tier alchemist. Who would have thought that the gentleman before them actually possessed a fourth-tier pill?

Could it be that he was also an alchemist? And a fourth-tier one at that? This was a monumental matter!

The guard immediately spoke with great respect, "My Lord, please forgive my earlier rudeness. I will report this at once; please, come inside and take a seat!"

After arranging for Yao Chen to wait in the VIP reception room, the guard hurried off to notify Ya Fei.

At that moment, Ya Fei was still backstage at the auction venue, adjusting her attire. Her red qipao clung to her body, leaving her curves on full display.

She was meticulously preparing for the upcoming auction when the guard suddenly entered, claiming that a fourth-tier alchemist wished to see her.

"What? What tier alchemist?"

"Fourth-tier?" Ya Fei's expression froze, and Master Guni, who was standing nearby, was equally caught off guard.

To think that there was a fourth-tier alchemist in Wutan City? How could that be possible!

One had to realize that even in the imperial capital of the Jia Ma Empire, fourth-tier alchemists were certainly not as common as potatoes in a field.

It was even less likely for one to appear in this tiny Wutan City.

Ya Fei assumed the guard was joking, but regardless, she had to go and see for herself. What if it really was a fourth-tier alchemist?

If she offended a fourth-tier alchemist due to her own negligence, the consequences would be dire.

With that thought, Ya Fei immediately left the backstage area and headed straight for the VIP reception room, where she saw a gentleman in a black robe sitting inside.

A minute or two after Ya Fei left the auction area, the auction began.

However, Ya Fei was nowhere to be seen to preside over the event as the auctioneer.

Many people in the audience began to grow restless and agitated.

"The Miter Auction House certainly has a high opinion of itself. The auction has already started, yet we can't even see the auctioneer. Do they have no concept of time at all?"

"Exactly. Does Miss Ya Fei think that just because she has a pretty face, everyone here will forgive her for being late?"

As a second-tier alchemist, Guni was nothing compared to the many alchemists across the Jia Ma Empire.

But in a small place like Wutan City, Master Guni still held some weight and influence.

He stepped onto the stage to explain, "Everyone, please wait a moment. A sudden situation has arisen. Our Miter Auction House has welcomed a fourth-tier alchemist, and Miss Ya Fei has gone to the back to receive them."

"Perhaps our auction today will feature a fourth-tier pill, so I ask everyone to be patient and remain calm."

Guni offered this explanation first, then restored order to the crowd, which had been on the verge of causing a scene.

He then stepped off the stage and headed down, intending to go to the VIP reception room to meet that fourth-tier alchemist in person.

The atmosphere in the venue instantly ignited. A fourth-tier alchemist, a fourth-tier pill.

These two keywords exploded through the crowd.

"What! To think that in tiny Wutan City, I would actually be lucky enough to see a fourth-tier pill?"

"Good heavens, it seems I came at the right time. That's a fourth-tier pill! I'll spend every last cent I have to win it!"

The news of a fourth-tier pill appearing at today's auction spread like wildfire, and within half an hour, it had reached every corner of Wutan City.

It wasn't just the Xiao Clan; the Jia Lie Clan had also heard the news.

In the great hall of the Jia Lie Clan, Jia Lieao spoke to his father, the clan leader.

"Father, I just received word that a fourth-tier pill has appeared at the Miter Auction House today, and a fourth-tier alchemist has arrived in person!"

"What! Is this true?" Jia Liebi's expression went blank. He never imagined that tiny Wutan City would have the honor of hosting a fourth-tier alchemist.

"Father, our Jia Lie Clan must seize that fourth-tier pill at all costs! We cannot let the Oba Clan or the Xiao Clan get there first!"

Upon hearing his son's words, Jia Liebi slammed his hand onto the table, gathered the funds, and headed toward the Miter Auction House.

This matter caused a sensation and was taken seriously not only by the Jia Lie family but also by the Ao Ba family.

And the Xiao Clan as well.

"What, a fourth-grade medicinal pill? It's among the items to be auctioned at the Miter Auction House today?"

"Is the information true?"

As the clan leader, Xiao Zhan was immediately moved. He would acquire that fourth-grade medicinal pill even if it meant bankrupting his entire family, as it might help his son Xiao Yan's cultivation.

Thus, the three great families of Wutan City all headed in the direction of the Miter Auction House.

Among the seats at the venue, countless voices were discussing the fourth-grade medicinal pill that was about to appear. Even if they couldn't afford it, they could at least feast their eyes on it.

To see what a fourth-grade medicinal pill looked like would be an eye-opening experience.

At this moment, in the VIP reception room of the Miter Auction House.

Ya Fei, dressed in a red qipao, walked into the reception room and saw a gentleman in a black robe sitting inside.

"Is this the fourth-grade alchemist?" Ya Fei dared not neglect him and immediately went over to greet him enthusiastically.

"Greetings, sir. I am Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Miter Auction House."

"And beside me is Master Guni of our auction house, who is also a second-grade alchemist," Ya Fei introduced them in turn.

But Guni beside her was sweating profusely.
