"4.8 million taels. The head of the Gu family bids 4.8 million taels. Is there anyone else who offers a higher price?"

the auctioneer asked happily.

The guests on the first floor all rolled their eyes.

On the second floor, the Wang family, Zhao family, and Bai family were in mourning; the Gu family and the Zhong family looked like villains who had succeeded.

"Oh, what a pity." The head of the Bai family sighed, "Such an important treasure seems to have no chance of being associated with my Bai family."

The next second, the ugly look on his face completely faded and returned to normal.

It can be seen that the head of the Bai family is an ambitious but optimistic person.

Xiao Yi saw this and asked with a smile, "Why, the Bai family leader really wants this star stone?"

"Of course." The leader of the Bai family said with a smile, "Do you know what the star stone represents, a high-grade spiritual weapon, and what its meaning is?"

"There are only two top-quality spiritual weapons in the entire Beishan County. One is in the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, and the other is in the Demon Hunting Hall of the County Capital."

"Using it by a warrior at the ninth level of Po Xuan can kill a warrior at the Earth Yuan realm."

"Other than that, there are only a few major forces that possess high-grade spiritual weapons; all of them have Beishan County overlord-level strength."

"Like Murong's house in Beishan, Shadow Tower."

"Ordinary big forces like me only have mid-grade spiritual weapons."

"As you can imagine, if our Bai family possesses high-grade spiritual weapons, our family's power will definitely increase greatly."

As he said this, Patriarch Bai's face was filled with hope.

"I am only at the fourth level of Po Xuan. If I have a high-grade spiritual weapon in my hand, my strength can be comparable to the seventh level of Po Xuan."

Spiritual weapons are the most precious things in the world because they can greatly increase the strength of warriors.

Of course, if you want to fully unleash the power of a high-grade spiritual weapon, you must at least reach the Mysterious Breaking Realm.

There is still a huge difference between a seventh-level Mysterious Breaker and a fourth-level Mysterious Breaker.

If the Bai family has a seventh-level Po Xuan warrior taking charge, the family's power will inevitably rise to another level.

"Master Bai, how much money do you think the Gu family and the Zhong family can get from joining forces?" Xiao Yi asked.

The head of the Bai family was stunned. Although he didn't know why Xiao Yi asked this, he still said, "According to my estimate, it is only 5 million taels at most."

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "That's good."

"What do you mean, little brother Yi Xiao?" The head of the Bai family looked puzzled.

The next second, Xiao Yi took out an object from the Qiankun bag, flicked it with his hand, and flicked it to the exhibition stand below.

The auctioneer was startled at first, thinking that someone was attacking the Starlight Stone, but there must be no accident.

When he saw that it was not a sneak attack, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The auctioneer took the object, took a look at it, then his eyes lit up and said, "Oh, one of the third-grade peak elixirs, the Life Pill, is still perfect."

As an auctioneer, he naturally also has certain appraisal abilities.

"Zi Yan, I wonder what you mean by bringing this elixir?" the auctioneer asked.

On the second floor, Xiao Yi said, "I wonder if you can accept this? Can you replace it with silver?"

"Of course." The auctioneer said quickly, "We will ask for as much as you have, but it must be of perfect grade, not ordinary grade. One pill is worth three thousand taels."

Among the guests on the first floor, they were slightly surprised when they heard the auctioneer's words, "Is the Life Pill still a perfect level? This is more than three thousand taels, but if it is used to replace silver taels, it is almost the same."

In ordinary people's lives, silver is trading capital.

But in the life of a warrior, pills can serve as hard currency.

In Yanlong Continent, alchemist is the most noble and rare profession.

Compared to hundreds of millions of warriors, the number of alchemists is only a drop in the bucket.

Due to the huge demand, elixirs are often in short supply.

In other words, there are no elixirs that cannot be sold; there are only elixirs that cannot be sold out.

This makes elixirs one of the hard currencies.

However, there is a difference.

For example, Snow Soul Pill, a special pill that only ice-attribute martial soul warriors can take, cannot be used as hard currency.

And pills such as Xiantian Pill, Cave Mysterious Pill, Life Spirit Pill, Juli Pill, Hidden Qi Pill, etc., which are useful to anyone, can become hard currency.

Of course, the elixir must be above the third grade.

At the same time, the quality of the elixir should not be bad; it should not be shoddy, and should at least be above good.

The quality of elixirs can be divided into inferior, qualified, good and perfect.

There is no difference in effect; the difference is only in the onset of action.

Like the elixir of life, this is the holy medicine for healing.

If an innate warrior is seriously injured, a good life elixir can restore the injury within an hour; a perfect level one can restore the injury within half an hour.

For martial artists who are practicing outside, once they are injured, the sooner they can recover from the injury, the better.

Therefore, the perfect level of life elixir can be used as hard currency.

At this time, Xiao Yi waved his hand and popped out 5 jade bottles, saying, "Each bottle contains 20 life elixirs, a total of 100 pills. They are all of perfect level. You can check it out."

"Oh?" The auctioneer quickly checked.

Among the guests on the first floor, there was an uproar, "100 perfect pills? Ziyan Yixiao is indeed an alchemist who can successfully refine fourth-grade peak pills with ease."

"In the field of alchemy refining, I'm afraid only a few fifth-grade alchemists in the entire Beishan County can surpass him."

Refining the perfect elixir depends on skill and luck.

Perfect elixirs require very high abilities of the alchemist; among a hundred alchemists of the same level, it is difficult to find one with such ability.

Generally, if the alchemist's level is more than two levels higher than the level of the elixir, there is a high chance that he will be able to refine perfect elixirs on a regular basis.

In other words, only a fifth-grade alchemist can more easily refine a perfect third-grade elixir.

Otherwise, it just depends on luck.

No matter how bad the alchemist is, if he refines hundreds of pills, there will still be a few that are perfect.

And Xiao Yi took out 100 pills at once, proving that he relied on skill rather than luck.

In just ten seconds, the auctioneer completed the appraisal.

"100 pills, all of perfect quality. Our firm can buy them from you for 300,000 taels. Is that feasible?" the auctioneer asked.

"Okay." Xiao Yi nodded, then popped out five jade bottles again, and said, "This is the third-grade Juli Pill, also of the perfect level, 100 pills, please give me a price."

"A perfect level of Juli Dan?" the auctioneer was surprised.

Xiao Yidao, "You can check the effect; a ninth-level Xiantian warrior who takes it can exert half-step of Dongxuan strength in an instant and maintain it for half an hour."

"What?" The auctioneer immediately checked.

If it is true as Yi Xiao said, then the price of this Juli Pill is higher than the previous Life Pill.

After a long while, the auctioneer's face was full of horror and he said, "As expected, they are all perfect."

"Ziyan Yixiao has a well-deserved reputation. Our firm purchased these giant pills for 5,000 taels each; 100 pills equals 500,000 taels."

"Okay." Xiao Yi nodded, then looked at the Bai family leader and said, "I wonder if the Bai family leader is confident in getting the starlight stone now?"

Xiao Yi did not hide his words.

In fact, everyone present also knew Xiao Yi's intention of taking out the elixir at this moment, it must be to help the Bai family leader.

"Brother Yi Xiao, you..." Head Bai hesitated for a moment.

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Master Bai, you don't have to be polite. If you have any questions, let's wait until the auction is over."

"Thank you." The head of the Bai family cupped his hand, and then said loudly, "Starlight Stone, I bid 5.3 million taels."

"You..." The heads of the Gu family and the Zhong family actually looked extremely ugly the moment Xiao Yi took out the elixir.

At this moment, it became extremely cold.

"Zi Yan, don't think that you are the only one who has the elixir." The head of the Gu family said coldly, "My Gu family is bound to get the star stone."

"Elixirs, exercises, martial arts, even spiritual weapons, I will sell them to the auction at the worst possible time."

"I wonder how your little demon hunter can compare to the wealth of my entire Gu family."

The money they can get is indeed only 5 million taels.

But, that's just real money.

If you add your own background, it will naturally be far more than that.

If they want to continue bidding, they can only sell things.

"Selling something?" Xiao Yi smiled lightly and said, "Master Gu, Yi Mou reminds you."
