"Huh, where is he?"
However, when Ye Feng arrived at Leng Wufeng's courtyard, he found the house completely empty.
"Ye Feng, are you looking for Leng Wufeng?"
Just then, Elder Bai's voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Elder Bai, have you seen Leng Wufeng?"
Ye Feng walked out of the house and quickly asked Elder Bai, who stood in the courtyard with a smile.
"After the Sect Master learned that Leng Wufeng is a Third Grade Alchemist, she took him early this morning to the nearby Town to purchase Spirit Grass."
"Come on, I'll take you to find them."
Elder Bai stroked his long White Beard and explained with a smile.
... ...
"Elder Bai, have you heard of Bamboo Demon Grass, White Soul Flower, and Purple Thunder Fruit?"
Aboard the Flying Sword, Ye Feng casually started a conversation to relieve the boredom.
"Eh?"
"You must have heard about these from Leng Wufeng. These three types of Spirit Grass are extremely Rare among Third Grade Spirit Grasses. Although ranked as Third Grade, to Alchemists, they are absolutely priceless Spirit Grasses."
Elder Bai looked at Ye Feng with some surprise as he explained.
"So they really are that Precious."
"No wonder when Junior Brother Wufeng saw me soaking my feet and steeping water with these Spirit Grasses, he said I was committing a terrible waste of precious things."
Thump!
Hearing this, the Flying Sword controlled by Elder Bai Wobbled[1]. He looked at Ye Feng with an expression of disbelief and enunciated each word, "You used these three Rare Spirit Grasses... to soak your feet?"
"Ah!"
"That felt incredibly good!"
"Elder Bai, if I get more in the future, I'll set some aside for you. You should try soaking too. But you absolutely must not put Bamboo Demon Grass and Purple Thunder Fruit together; they produce a Potent Poison."
As Ye Feng spoke, he even reminded him with a serious expression.
Who the hell cares if putting those two together produces poison!
Are those things meant for soaking feet?!
After the shock, Elder Bai suddenly Grinned and said, "Ah, Ye Feng, if you get more of these Spirit Grasses in the future, you absolutely must remember to save some for me."
If Luo Qianxue were here, she would definitely collapse again, because Elder Bai had been Bought Over once more.
Five hours later, a Town finally appeared in the distance.
"Ye Feng, you can wander around the Town first. I happen to have some matters to attend to. I'll find you afterwards."
After entering the Town, Elder Bai gave some instructions and left first.
What's this Four Seas Pavilion?
Green Mountain Blacksmith Shop, this must be a place for crafting weapons.
Gazing Spring Pavilion... this... judging by the many otherworldly women standing outside, it should be a decent entertainment venue.
Sky Domain Auction House?
After strolling around for a while, Ye Feng stopped in front of an auction house.
"System, you say I'm so prodigal, what if I encounter danger?"
Ye Feng finally asked an extremely important question.
"Ding! The System provides the Divine Magnate Guard. Should the Host's life be in danger, the Divine Magnate Guard will automatically appear to resolve the crisis, but they will only deal with enemies threatening the Host's safety."
"Sorted!"
Since his safety was guaranteed, he absolutely had to live it up to the fullest.
Thinking this, Ye Feng walked directly into the Sky Domain Auction House. Since he couldn't ask Leng Wufeng for the time being, there must be an Appraiser knowledgeable about Pills in the auction house.
"Young Master, how may I help you?"
As soon as he entered the auction house, a Staff Member walked over, asking with a very polite attitude.
"I have a few Pills. I wonder if they can be auctioned at your esteemed auction house?"
Ye Feng looked at the staff member and stated his purpose directly.
"Young Master, our auction house has a dedicated Sixth Grade Alchemist responsible for appraising Pills. I will take you there right now."
A moment later.
Ye Feng arrived at an Appraisal Room. Inside sat a middle-aged man around forty years old.
"Young Master, may I ask what grade the Pills you wish to auction are?"
Cao Anshan saw Ye Feng being led in by the staff member and asked directly.
"It's this Clear Profound Pill."
Ye Feng didn't waste words and directly took out a Clear Profound Pill, placing it on the table.
Gasp!
However, to Ye Feng's surprise, Cao Anshan, upon seeing the Pill, shot up from his chair in shock.
"Nine-Patterned! It's actually a Nine-Patterned Clear Profound Pill!"
Cao Anshan, his face filled with shock, picked up the Pill and examined it carefully, unable to hold back an exclamation of astonishment.
"Is this Pill very powerful?"
Ye Feng looked at the astonished Cao Anshan with curiosity.
"Very powerful!"
"Refining the Clear Profound Pill requires attention to too many details. Any small mistake can result in an incomplete pill. Although it's only a Third Grade Clear Profound Pill, suitable only for cultivators in the Spirit Fusing, Qi Movement, and Spirit Sea Realms, it is, after all, Nine-Patterned, maximizing the Pill's Medicinal Efficacy."
"The highest I've ever seen before was only on a First Grade Clear Profound Pill, and it was only Eight-Patterned."
Cao Anshan didn't hide anything just because Ye Feng seemed clueless.
"What Eight-Patterned, Nine-Patterned? What does all that mean?"
Ye Feng felt utterly confused and pressed for clarification.
"Young Master, regardless of the Pill's grade, One-Pattern means the Pill's Medicinal Efficacy is only ten percent of a complete pill. Two-Pattern means twenty percent efficacy. A complete pill is the ideal Ten-Patterned Pill. To date, no one has ever heard of anyone refining a Ten-Patterned Pill, not even for the lowest First Grade."
"However, even a One-Patterned Pill's efficacy is definitely much stronger than directly consuming Spirit Grass. How many patterns one can refine is also an important standard for assessing an Alchemist."
After listening to Cao Anshan's explanation, Ye Feng asked directly, "So what price can this Pill fetch?"
"A normal Third Grade Pill usually costs around several hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones. This Clear Profound Pill not only removes Impurities from the body but has also reached Nine Patterns. The specific price is hard to estimate; perhaps it can only be determined at auction."
Cao Anshan didn't give a definite price. If it encountered the right Bidder at the auction, the value of this Clear Profound Pill could increase severalfold, especially given the Clear Profound Pill's rather special efficacy.
"What!"
"This one worthless pill is worth several hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones?"
However, Ye Feng was shocked upon hearing the price. He truly hadn't expected such a worthless pill to be valued at hundreds of thousands of low-grade Spirit Stones. Converted to high-grade Spirit Stones, that would be dozens!
At this moment, Ye Feng conveniently forgot that he had spent five hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones just to buy the status of a Direct Disciple, and another hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones to hire Elder Bai to throw Talismans.
Worthless pill?
Hearing Ye Feng call this Nine-Patterned Clear Profound Pill, which even he coveted, a worthless pill, Cao Anshan's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He suddenly felt like a Beggar; what was a worthless pill in the eyes of others was a treasure in his.
"When does your auction house hold auctions?"
Ye Feng looked at Cao Anshan and asked directly.
"Young Master, as luck would have it, there's an auction this afternoon."
Cao Anshan quickly replied with a smile.
"Alright, here's another one. Contact the Person in Charge of the auction house directly and add both pills to this afternoon's auction. I'll come back later to collect however many Spirit Stones they sell for."
Finished speaking, Ye Feng took out another Clear Profound Pill, placed it on the table, and then got up to leave.
"This worthless pill is actually so expensive. I want to see how many Big Suckers bid for these two pills."
Although Ye Feng spoke softly, Cao Anshan was not only a Sixth Grade Alchemist but also a Violet Palace Realm expert. Hearing this, he felt completely numb. Such rare and precious pills, how did the bidders become Big Suckers?
