Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 961 - 971: Keeping a Low Profile

A middle-aged elder stepped forward, thin-faced and sharp-eyed with a radiant gaze. His steps exuded an aura of indomitable spirit, looking down upon the heroes of the world.

"Why is Uncle Ying stepping in too?" Ye Wu's small cherry mouth formed an O shape.

This Venerate Alchemist Ye's approach is truly terrifyingly generous.

Directly raising the bid to three million Spirit Stones.

It's as if Spirit Stones are worthless to him. In modern parlance, it's like owning a mine at home.

Even more opulent than that rich second generation, Young Master Jin Ling.

"Isn't it against the rules for your auction house personnel to compete for treasures?" A stern-looking middle-aged man spoke coldly.

"Though Penglai Auction is partly owned by our Ye Family, there's no rule forbidding Ye Family members from bidding on treasures. If I were maliciously raising prices, it would be infuriating to all, feel free to scold me openly. Right now, I'm sincerely competing for this Elixir, believing there's no fault to pick out."

The gaze of Venerate Alchemist Ye was sharp yet reserved, sweeping over the entire venue.

An imposing presence subdued the many big shots present.

"Fine, if Uncle Ye wants this Elixir, I have nothing to say as a junior. I'm backing off." Young Master Jin Ling showed a flattering attitude towards this elder.

"I accept your concession!" Venerate Alchemist Ye bowed courteously to Young Master Jin Ling.

"There's one thing puzzling me. Could Uncle Ye enlighten me, please?" Young Master Jin Ling's tone was extremely humble.

Even the immensely proud Wushou Dan Venerate displayed genuine respect upon seeing Venerate Alchemist Ye.

"I know what you want to ask. Once this Elixir auction concludes, I will explain publicly." Venerate Alchemist Ye's eyes sparkled with wisdom.

Young Master Jin Ling nodded, having no choice but to agree.

Even his father would have to show necessary respect in front of this Venerate Alchemist Ye, only treating him as an equal.

"I, Ye Yanying, bid three million Spirit Stones for this Elixir, does any fellow Taoist wish to continue competing?" Venerate Alchemist Ye scanned the entire venue.

His presence alone was daunting enough, who would dare to compete with him?

Unless you wish to go bankrupt.

Even with bankruptcy, you might not best Venerate Alchemist Ye.

"Everyone knows Mr. Ye Yanying is one of the top wealthy individuals in Sword Immortal City, possessing unimaginable wealth. We dare not compete with you."

A high-status big shot laughed bitterly.

"Since there's no higher bid, Ye Wu, settle it by the third hammer! Rules of the auction cannot be broken; necessary procedures must be followed." Venerate Alchemist Ye signaled to Ye Wu on the auction stage.

"Three million Spirit Stones for the first time! Second time..." Ye Wu called out the third time, and still, no one placed another bid.

An Elixir of Super Ninth Grade sold for three million Spirit Stones, an already astonishing price.

No one wants to be a fool; naturally, no one bids further.

There are treasures every session, wouldn't it be better to save Spirit Stones to buy other treasures?

Three million Spirit Stones could buy a real Immortal Pill.

"Alright, the Elixir is in hand. Everyone must be wondering why this Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill warrants my public appearance and personal bidding?"

After the third hammer, Venerate Alchemist Ye raised the question everyone wanted an answer to.

"That's exactly the question I wanted to ask Uncle Ye." Young Master Jin Ling called out loudly.

"Because the refining method of this Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill is incredibly unique. Additionally, its main ingredient is a Corpse Flower. My Alchemy Dao skills in this realm are not numero uno, but definitely among the top three. To be honest, I once obtained two Corpse Flowers, one over ten thousand years and one over a million years. Both are invaluable rare items. Yet without exception, I turned them into waste during refinement."

Venerate Alchemist Ye surprisingly revealed his blunders, which was truly admirable.

The higher the status and the more renowned a Pill Master, the more they cherish their reputation.

Putting aside the disgrace of ruining medicinal materials, even slight flaws in refined Elixirs, or minor errors during the alchemy process, they would deliberately cover up, not letting anyone know.

Because in their hearts, they've already taken themselves as Saints.

"Corpse Flowers carry a certain malice, the higher the age, the harder to refine. Refining them into harmful Poison Pills is easy, but turning them into beneficial Elixirs is challenging. I tried countless methods and consulted many peers, but sadly couldn't solve this issue."

"This Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill, if we talk about its rank, in my opinion, it's nothing. I've refined lots and lots of Immortal Pills."

Venerate Alchemist Ye's words left Chu Feng utterly shocked.

One must know, Chu Feng spent his entire life and countless years in his previous life just to successfully refine two Immortal Pills.

Though the term Immortal is in quotes.

Because the two Immortal Pills he refined are not real, having significant defects. Only count as Super Ninth Grade Elixirs.

From Venerate Alchemist Ye's words, it's not hard to discern that refining Immortal Pills for Ye is as simple as eating and drinking.

Chu Feng is confident that this Venerate Alchemist Ye's Alchemy Dao realm is at least above the Supreme Alchemy Master.

The exact degree of strength is unknown.

Surely at a level Chu Feng can only look up to.

"The main ingredient of this Elixir, the Corpse Flower, must exceed ten thousand years. The person who refined this Elixir has many aspects worth learning and researching for me. Purchasing this Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill, I just want to study its refining method and secret to formation. That's all."

Venerate Alchemist Ye clearly stated his purpose for purchasing the Elixir.

Listening to this drew exclamations from the crowd.

For individuals at Venerate Alchemist Ye's level, ordinary things don't interest them at all. Only Alchemy Dao and Sword Dao drive them to dedicate their lives, seeking higher realms.

Alchemy and swords, both have no peak.

"As expected, it's pretty much what I figured. Wushou Dan Venerate purchased this Elixir likely to study its refining method too, right?" Young Master Jin Ling looked towards Wushou Dan Venerate.

"Indeed!" Wushou Dan Venerate looked at the seized Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill with some reluctance. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Missing it meant brushing past the higher realm of Supreme Alchemy Master.

Even given two more guts, he still wouldn't dare to compete for treasures with Venerate Alchemist Ye.

Whether wealth, power, or influence, it's not something Wushou Dan Venerate can provoke.

"Continue, everyone, I've acquired the desired treasure, time to return for research!" Venerate Alchemist Ye, like a child, held the won Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill with gleeful amusement.

He returned to that small room, disappearing from sight.

"Master, your Alchemy Dao skills are even more extraordinary than Venerate Alchemist Ye's," Li Shishi cheerfully whispered in praise.
