When Xiao Yan left the auction house, it was already completely dark. Night had fallen, and the golden light that had enveloped the entire Golden Radiance City had also disappeared into darkness.
Although it was already night, Golden Radiance City was still bustling with activity, the entire city was brightly lit, and although the noise of the bustling city had been reduced, it still could not drown out the lively atmosphere.
After an afternoon of conversation, Xiao Yan and Wu Gang became much closer. At the same time, Xiao Yan learned a lot about Golden Radiance City from Wu Gang. Before Xiao Yan left, Xiao Yan also helped him choose a place to stay, located behind the auction house. There was a private pavilion there, which was built by the auction house to receive guests of high status.
At first, Xiao Yan declined several times, but Wu Gang said that Xiao Yan had become a thorn in the side of some people in the Formation Master Association and would inevitably cause trouble again if he went out. With these words and Wu Gang's sincere invitation, Xiao Yan agreed.
After leaving the auction house, Xiao Yan stood in the night sky. Here, he could feel the pressure from the array above his head even more clearly. Even he felt a little scared in the face of that thing.
This formation is far beyond what ordinary third or fourth-tier formations can compare to; it's likely to be even more terrifying than he imagined.
It's truly unimaginable that such a massive formation exists in the Western Region. The person who could inscribe this formation must possess extraordinary strength!
After exclaiming inwardly a few times, Xiao Yan returned to the pavilion and stood above his own residence. However, Xiao Yan did not enter the pavilion but instead pondered something deeply.
From his conversation with Wu Gang this afternoon, Xiao Yan learned that the auction had attracted many powerful forces from the Western Region, all of whom were after the Fusang Flower.
Although the authenticity of the Fusang Flower cannot be completely confirmed yet, based on what Xiao Yan knows so far and the images he saw in the ring, it is highly likely that this Fusang Flower is the real one. Therefore, regardless of its authenticity, just considering that this flower can move so many powerful forces, Xiao Yan should consider vying for it.
However, precisely because this auction is unprecedentedly grand, Xiao Yan has no choice but to give it a try in order to bring out truly compelling items for auction.
With Xiao Yan's current Spiritual Strength, he has reached the peak of Third-Tier Alchemist, surpassing even ordinary Third-Tier High-Level Alchemist. According to the Spiritual Strength of the Realm of Unity, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength has also entered the mid-stage of the Realm of Unity, and is only a step away from the late stage.
However, this very short distance is what prevents Xiao Yan from refining fourth-tier pills, and this has become the biggest obstacle Xiao Yan faces right now.
At an auction of this caliber, unless one offers a fourth-tier pill, it would be difficult to compete for the Fusang Flower in the final bidding. However, given the amount of pills Xiao Yan currently has in his Storage Ring, he does have some fourth-tier pills, but only a few. Moreover, most of these pills are for healing purposes. Therefore, he must offer a truly powerful pill to compete for the Fusang Flower.
For this reason, Xiao Yan searched through his Storage Ring for a long time and finally took out an ancient-looking pill formula.
This is a recipe for a fourth-tier elixir called the Spirit Awakening Pill.
This pill cannot heal injuries or increase cultivation, but it has an effect that no other pill can match.
The Spirit Awakening Pill can expel impurities from a cultivator's body.
The path of cultivation is exceptionally long, and becoming a true expert requires an even greater amount of time, ranging from decades to hundreds or even thousands of years. In order to shorten the time required for cultivation, those miraculous pills that can help people improve their cultivation level have undoubtedly become something that everyone yearns for. After all, a single pill can reduce the hard work of cultivating for decades or even hundreds of years. Who wouldn't envy such a good thing?
Therefore, pills used to greatly enhance cultivation were created. However, pills are ultimately external things. Although this is a shortcut, even after the pills are swallowed and refined, the original medicinal power of the pills will still remain in the body to some extent. Over time, the medicinal power will accumulate in the cultivator's body and become a hidden danger that is difficult to eliminate.
If the medicinal effects accumulate to an excessive level, it can, at best, affect one's cultivation level, and at worst, ruin one's future, turning everything into nothing in an instant. Therefore, the appearance of pills like the Spirit Awakening Pill on the market will inevitably cause quite a stir.
Especially this Spirit Awakening Pill, as a fourth-grade pill, contains enough medicinal power to remove the impure medicinal power from the body of a Dou Di expert. Therefore, once the Spirit Awakening Pill is successfully refined, Xiao Yan believes that it will definitely become a dark horse at this auction.
With this thought in mind, a smile involuntarily appeared on Xiao Yan's calm face, and he also felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.
Coming to his senses, Xiao Yan then remembered that with his abilities as Third-Tier Alchemist, he seemed incapable of refining fourth-tier pills...
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, but then a smile appeared on his lips.
Although he wasn't Fourth-Tier Alchemist, luckily, alchemists always seemed to be able to concoct some strange and wonderful pills, such as... the Spirit Ascension Pill.
The Spirit Ascension Pill, a fourth-tier pill, can significantly boost the Spiritual Strength of the consumer for a period of time. Originally, Xiao Yan didn't have one, but he happened to obtain one from the Storage Ring of those seven people. Given Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan current Spiritual Strength, if he were to consume the Spirit Ascension Pill, his Spiritual Strength would be greatly enhanced. Xiao Yan estimated that it would be at least comparable to Fourth-Tier Intermediate Alchemist. In contrast, the Spirit Awakening Pill is only a low-level fourth-tier pill.
Therefore, with the blessing of the Spirit Ascension Pill, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength will be sufficient to support him in completing the refinement of the Spirit Awakening Pill. At that time, Xiao Yan will have enough confidence to compete with various forces at the auction.
As for now, Xiao Yan plans to improve his overall condition to its best level, so that the success rate of refining the Spirit Awakening Pill can also be increased significantly.
With this in mind, Xiao Yan didn't hesitate any longer. He crossed his legs and sat on the top of the pavilion. As Xiao Yan closed his eyes, the Flame Mantra Technique within his body quietly began to circulate.
