“The main ingredients of those Third Rank Elixir Medicines are all extremely scarce; they’re basically never seen in the Fang Market under normal circumstances.”

“It’s only at the auction that a few might appear.”

When Elder Yu reached this point, as if he had remembered something, he suddenly called out to Lin Jing:

“Right, Lin kid…’

“In half a month, it will be our Yuebaolou’s auction. Are you going?” Elder Yu asked.

“Auction?” Lin Jing voiced his confusion.

“Yes, the auction..

“At Yuebaolou, we hold an auction every once in a while. When the time comes, many people will attend, including members of the various major families of the Fang Market.”

“If you’d like to go, I can take you there to broaden your experience,” Elder Yu offered.

“Elder Yu, do you know what kind of good items will be at the auction?” Lin Jing’s interest was piqued, and he asked.

“The list of auction items isn’t finalized yet, but from what I know, there should be quite a few precious items this time.”

“I see…”

“Wait a while until the auction list is out, then I’ll come to find you and bring you a copy to take a look,” Elder Yu said.

“By the way, I’ll come over for a meal at your place; it’s been a long time since I’ve tasted your cooking. I’ve started to miss it,” Elder Yu said with a laugh.

“Alright,” Lin Jing replied.

“Don’t worry, Elder Yu. When the time comes, the youngster will make sure everything is arranged properly.”

After chatting with Elder Yu for a while, Lin Jing headed home.

Upon returning, Lin Jing took advantage of the free time over the next few days to prepare some First Rank Elixir Medicines, completing some of his alchemy tasks for the month.

Then, in the evenings, he went into the System Space to try and concoct some Pure Elixir Medicines.

He was in good luck these days, and the outcomes of his alchemy were not bad. After several consecutive days of effort, he succeeded in creating three First Rank Pure Elixirs.

Moreover, he even managed to concoct a Second Rank Pure Elixir.

Soon, a few days passed.

Lin Jing received news that the list of items for the auction was out, and Elder Yu was coming over tonight.

Naturally, it was Huang Qingling who delivered this message.

And Huang Qingling had prepared the ingredients early in the morning, just waiting for Lin Jing to start cooking.

Lin Jing didn’t waste words. Taking the ingredients from Huang Qingling, he got busy at once.

By the time Lin Jing finished, Elder Yu had also arrived.

The trio went inside the house, sitting around the table, ready to eat. As soon as Elder Yu sat down, he passed a booklet to Lin Jing.

“Here, this is the item list for the auction; take a look,” Elder Yu said.

Lin Jing took the list, then immediately opened it.

“I want to see too…”

Huang Qingling said and leaned in close behind him.

The two were very close, with Huang Qingling nearly pressed against Lin Jing, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He quickly scooted aside and then placed the list of auction items between them.

Huang Qingling seemed not to mind in the slightest and just focused on the list.

Following that, Lin Jing also turned his gaze to the list.

The list was comprehensive with various kinds of items: Magic Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques, Elixir Medicines, etc…

All kinds of cultivation resources were there.

“There’s more in the back…”

Elder Yu, smiling, watched the two of them and reminded them.

He then poured himself a cup of ‘Qinghua Drunk’ and downed it in one gulp.

Huang Qingling reached out and flipped the pages to the back.

The items listed there were even more valuable.

Silver-blue ore, a material necessary for the creation of Golden Core Magic Treasures.

The Moonflow Heart Fruit, a third-rank Spirit Fruit, is an auxiliary medicine for refining the Cultivation True Elixir required for advancing to the Golden Core Stage.

The rootstock of the Biling Flower, the key ingredient in the third-rank Elixir Medicine, the Condensing Yuan Pill.

The Condensing Yuan Pill is an upgraded version of the Gathering Yuan Pill, specifically designed for Golden Core Cultivators. Swallowing one can increase one’s cultivation by several decades, and the price is exceedingly expensive.

Upon seeing this, Lin Jing felt very tempted.

This rootstock of the Biling Flower might not be very useful to others, but to him, it was a different story entirely.

Others would likely just extract a small part of its medicinal power to enhance their cultivation, as they wouldn’t be able to grow it on their own.

If they did so, the slight increase in cultivation they could get from that bit of medicinal power would be, at most, a few years—completely a waste.

But Lin Jing could plant it directly. In just a few years, it could mature, and then wouldn’t he be able to pick the Biling Flowers at will?

Next, Huang Qingling reached out and flipped to the next page.

This page contained even more precious items, even a Golden Core Magic Treasure appeared, leaving both of them surprised.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They hadnt expected the auction to have so many good things.

Soon, they turned to the last page.

The first item on the last page was written in bold characters.

“Blood Red Vermilion Fruit”

“Elder Yu, is the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit really being auctioned this time?”

The Blood Red Vermilion Fruit, the main ingredient in the Cultivation True Elixir, hadn’t appeared in over a hundred years.

If not for the lack of Cultivation True Elixir, Elder Yu might have reached the Golden Core Stage a long time ago.

Elder Yu nodded and said, “Yes, we’re in luck this time, there is a Blood Red

Vermilion Fruit up for auction.”

“Elder Yu, haven’t you always been lacking the Cultivation True Elixir?”

“Now that the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit has appeared…” Lin Jing did not continue, but Elder Yu understood.

“You rascal…” Elder Yu said with a smile.

“This Blood Red Vermilion Fruit has actually already been reserved; the auction is really just a formality.”

“It’s already been reserved.” Lin Jing said, surprised.

At this moment, Huang Qingling also spoke up:

“Shouldn’t an auction be about the highest bidder winning?”

“Of course… but this Blood Red Vermilion Fruit is indeed an exception,” Elder Yu replied.

After saying this, Elder Yu explained:

“When the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit first entered the auction, it immediately caught the attention of the various families.”

“The one who reserved the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit actually belongs to several major families within Fang Market; it’s been too long since a Blood Red Vermilion Fruit appeared in Nanshan Market.”

“Therefore, this time, the major families decided together that the Li Family would be responsible for securing the Blood Red Vermilion Fruit, and Elder Master Li would be tasked with refining the Cultivation True Elixir.”

“Then the other families, as well as our Yuebaolou, would also contribute some Spirit Stones and provide auxiliary medicines.”

“When the time comes, if the batch of Cultivation True Elixir is successfully refined and we have a successful yield, we each get one. If the refining fails, then it’s just our bad luck.”

Lin Jing then said, “So Elder Yu, you mean to say, if the refining is successful, you could also get one?”

Elder Yu shook his head and said, “I can’t guarantee it, but there is a chance.”

“It will all depend on Elder Master Li in the end.”

On reflection, Lin Jing thought it made sense; there was only one Blood Red Vermilion Fruit, and there were quite a few families in the market.

Normally, one would get three to six pills per successful batch, and if the yield was on the lower side, that would make distribution problematic.

And then…

He continued reading.

At the very end, Lin Jing discovered yet another item.

“Superior Lifespan Extension Pill”

The Lifespan Extension Pill can extend a cultivator’s lifespan by 50 years.

Even the Lifespan Extension Pill had appeared..
