" Blazing Flame Flower!"
Gazing intently at the scene displayed on the light screen, a crimson petal, like a flame, slowly appeared before everyone's eyes, its emerald green roots radiating a shimmering light like newly sprouted buds.
As soon as the flower was exposed to the air, everyone could clearly feel that the temperature between heaven and earth rose significantly with its appearance.
"Um?"
At this moment, not only the people in the stands, but even the few Dou Di experts in the private boxes couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment when they looked at the flower.
This flower is no ordinary flower; it can cause changes in the heavens and earth!
" Blazing Flame Flower! It contains extremely domineering fire attribute power. Ordinary people can't even touch it. I never thought that the information that circulated before the auction was true. This time, we can actually see such a rare treasure at the auction!"
Among the many Half-Emperor- emperors, there were naturally many knowledgeable individuals. Upon seeing the Blazing Flame Flower for the first time, some recognized it, and the auction stage erupted in chaos once again.
Although most of the people present had never seen the Blazing Flame Flower in person, they were very familiar with its reputation.
This medicinal herb is extremely rare. Among all fire-attribute medicinal herbs, it would be ranked among the Blazing Flame Flower. It is also used as a main ingredient in the refining of many high-level pills, making its value immeasurable.
However, such precious medicinal herbs are now appearing before everyone's eyes. Who would be willing to miss such an opportunity?
"Hehe, it seems you all recognize this flower. Indeed, this flower is the Blazing Flame Flower. I won't go into its medicinal properties for now, as I'm sure you all know them. So, without further ado, please prepare your resources."
On the auction stage, Fang Qian, his old face beaming with a smile, looked at the crowd in the surrounding stands, stroked his beard with his withered hand, and then continued:
"Because of the Blazing Flame Flower's unique nature, its owner does not intend to auction it off with Spirit Coin. Instead, they hope to exchange it for other items of equal value. Therefore, if anyone here wishes to exchange it, they should offer items of equivalent value. Of course, the value of these items will be personally appraised by me."
His deep gaze slowly swept across the entire room, and as Fang Qian finished speaking, the previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent.
The value of the Blazing Flame Flower is self-evident. While there are many things in the world that can rival it, there are certainly not many more. At least, none of you present possess anything that can be exchanged for the Blazing Flame Flower.
"Hehe..."
He chuckled dryly, Fang Qian turned his gaze to the private room at the very top of the platform. At this moment, perhaps only the people there had the ability to take it down.
"Everyone, this Blazing Flame Flower is over a thousand years old, and its medicinal properties are among the best of the best. If it were used to refine pills, the medicinal properties of the resulting pills would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced."
"Among all of you present, there are quite a few alchemists. This Blazing Flame Flower is perfectly suited for you alchemists. After all, the quality of a pill is first and foremost determined by the medicinal herbs used in its preparation. I'm sure you alchemists understand this without me having to elaborate!"
As Fang Qian finished speaking, his cloudy old eyes slowly swept over some people in the stands, his aged face beaming with a smile.
Those he was watching were all alchemists, and among them, there were even several Second-Tier Alchemist. At the same time, Xu Songming, who had clashed with Xiao Yan two days ago, was also among them.
"Hehe, everyone, please!"
Fang Qian slowly stepped back half a step, raised Fang Qian hand with a smile, pointed diagonally at the Blazing Flame Flower placed on the silver plate, and once again swept his gaze across the entire room, chuckling.
As Fang Qian finished speaking, the crowd in the auction gradually fell silent, with only a very small number of people still casting greedy glances at the Blazing Flame Flower.
Fang Qian on the auction stage was not surprised by this. After all, compared to ordinary Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, the appeal of medicinal herbs was only for alchemists, and ordinary people were not interested.
"I am willing to offer three second-tier pills in exchange for the Blazing Flame Flower!"
The silence in the hall lasted only a short while before an elderly man in a gray robe slowly rose from his seat on the platform. His aged and hoarse voice echoed throughout the auction hall, drawing everyone's attention to him.
"I'm willing to offer four Emperor Grade Pill!"
"Hmph! Such fine medicinal herbs, and you've only offered this little? Truly pathetic! I'm willing to offer seven Emperor Grade Pill, and today this Blazing Flame Flower will surely fall into my hands!"
Eight!
Immediately following, another bid rang out, and then, like a barrage of bullets, the bidding echoed rapidly throughout the auction hall.
In a short period of time, the price of the Blazing Flame Flower had risen from eight Emperor Grade Pill to a terrifying level of thirteen Emperor Grade Pill.
Hearing the continuous bidding from the audience, the people on the stage couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.
Thirteen Emperor Grade Pill —if these were put up for auction, their value would far exceed ten million Spirit Coin!
Despite this, the number of people bidding in the arena continued to increase, and at the same time, the price of the Blazing Flame Flower was rapidly driven up.
"Hmph! Twenty Emperor Grade Pill! This Blazing Flame Flower, I'm determined to have it. Let's see who dares to compete with me!"
However, at a certain moment, Xu Songming, who had been sitting quietly in the VIP section at the very front of the stands, suddenly slammed his withered hand on the armrest, causing the chair beneath him to shatter. At the same time, he instantly stood up, his sharp eyes slowly sweeping across the entire venue with a fierce glint in them. Anyone who met his gaze immediately looked away.
Most of the people present had heard of Xu Songming's name and were naturally familiar with him. Moreover, he was a member of the Alchemist Alliance, so there were even more people who knew him.
At this moment, when Xu Songming appeared, most of the alchemists present couldn't help but shut their mouths.
Although there were quite a few Second-Tier Alchemist in the arena, they were still slightly inferior to Xu Songming. After all, Xu Songming was about to break through to the Third-Tier Alchemist. This news had already spread throughout Yan City two days ago. At this moment, everyone who made eye contact with him was extremely wary of him. Otherwise, why would they easily give up the Blazing Flame Flower?
"Snort!"
" Xu Songming, this is my Heavenly Cloud Auction House. Aren't you going a bit too far with what you're doing?"
Fang Qian had heard about the former's impending breakthrough to the Third-Tier Alchemist, but his words were still utterly unceremonious.
Third-Tier Alchemist someone others fear, but he is not. As for the Alchemist Alliance, his Heavenly Cloud Auction House is even less afraid. Naturally, there was little politeness in his words.
"Haha, Steward Fang, I was just engaging in normal competition. I didn't mean to forcibly take over. Of course, if anyone here wants to continue, feel free to raise the price. But I believe that none of the alchemists here have more than my twenty Emperor Grade Pill!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Songming laughed heartily, as if he had expected it all along. His words caused most of the alchemists present to lower their heads helplessly. Some of them wanted to compete with him, but when they thought of the latter's background, they had no choice but to sigh and withdraw their gaze.
Seeing this, Xu Songming's old face became even more arrogant, and he looked at Fang Qian with a sinister smile, laughing loudly:
"Well, Steward Fang, you've seen it too. It seems no one here can offer a higher price than me. Of course, if anyone can offer a higher price, I'll turn around and leave without a second thought!"
Upon hearing Xu Songming's words, Fang Qian narrowed his old eyes, gave a cold smile, and slowly raised his cloudy old eyes to look at the private room where Xiao Yan was. He believed that as long as Xiao Yan was willing to step forward, even if Xu Songming had the Alchemist Alliance backing him up, he would definitely be unable to do anything to him.
At the same time, Xu Songming seemed to have discovered Fang Qian's intention. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly looked up at the private room where Xiao Yan was, realizing something was wrong.
If Xiao Yan really shows up, then he might truly miss out on the Blazing Flame Flower today!
Thinking of this, Xu Songming felt a surge of hatred. However, at that moment, Xiao Yan's figure slowly reappeared outside the private room.
Upon Fang Qian, Fang Qian's old face instantly lit up with joy. Since Xiao Yan had stepped forward, Xu Songming would likely have to leave disappointed.
Fang Qian had no liking for this old man either. He was naturally displeased with Fang Qian's behavior on his turf. If it weren't for the auction, Fang Qian would probably have already attacked Xu Songming.
Upon seeing Xiao Yan appear, Xu Songming's expression on the stands below quickly turned grim.
"Damn it! Am I really going to let this brat ruin my good time?!"
However, just as Fang Qian was overjoyed and Xu Songming was cursing Xiao Yan with a gloomy expression, Xiao Yan in the void showed a helpless look on his face. His gaze swept over Fang Qian and Xu Songming below, a glint of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then he sighed, shook his head, and said helplessly:
"I'm sorry, twenty Emperor Grade Pill... I don't have any..."
