Chapter 57: Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pill

Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pill?

The moment they said the words, the originally bored customers became serious.

Every martial arts practitioner would know that pills were greatly useful for cultivation, especially the Dark Yin pill—a pill that is necessary for people to break through to Postnatal and Connate.

Which family clans in Glass City didn’t have any youngsters with potential?

On this land, they split the pills into nine grades. Amongst each level of pills, they were further differentiated by normal, blue-patterned, yellow-patterned, and red-patterned.

The pills available in Glass City’s markets were usually normal pills in the fourth-grade or even below that. The Alchemist Association was selling them, too, and the pills were only available for normal martial arts practitioners or merchants.

Starting from the blue-patterned pills, it meant that the quality of the pills was at least a level higher. The Alchemist Association rarely made blue-patterned and yellow-patterned pills, mostly only providing them to the Royal family or some officials and established families.

Only Alchemy Masters could make red-patterned pills. That was why red-patterned pills were extremely rare and hard to find within Great Xia.

However, the items that Treasure Hall was selling this time were Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pills that the Alchemist Association would never sell in the common market.

“After taking the Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pill, it can help the martial arts practitioner absorb the Yin energy from the sky and earth for the next ten days and cleanse your body and veins. The starting bid price for a Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pill is five hundred taels. The bid will begin now.” The Extraordinary House’s manager was also a master at bidding. With his explanation, the popularity of the pills grew instantly.

One had to know that a normal Dark Yin Pill could only help one absorb the Yin energy for three days and the Alchemist Association sold them for two hundred taels each.

Ye Lingyue felt extremely shocked by the manager’s words. She had merely taken out five Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pilld and didn’t expect that it would be worth so much. Compared to this, the price of green-wood fruits was a lot lesser. It was no wonder that people in Glass City said that the Great Xia’s Alchemist Association was extremely rich.

The first Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pill was sold to a Postnatal practitioner at the price of eight hundred taels. Next, they sold the second and third pills at eight hundred taels and nine hundred taels respectivey.

“We have already sold three of the five Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pills. Everyone, the Extraordinary House will sell the remaining two Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pills together. This is the Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pill that even the Alchemist Association doesn’t have. If you miss it, it’ll be extremely hard to find this steal again.” When there were only two Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pills left, Extraordinary House’s manager suddenly changed his selling strategy.

The people who weren’t willing to take part in the bid earlier due to its outrageous price had all placed their bids in a mad rush to get the pills.

“A thousand taels.”

“A thousand and one hundred taels.”

“A thousand and two hundred taels.”

“A thousand and five hundred taels!”

At this moment, someone screamed their bid. Who was this wealthy person?

Ye Lingyue and the rest of the guests glanced over.

All they saw was a man in a green outfit standing there. When they saw him, the expression of Extraordinary House’s manager changed a little.

It was because five cauldrons were embroidered on the man’s sleeves. He was Glass City’s Alchemist Association’s Vice-President.

Someone from the Alchemist Association was taking part in the bid as well?

The Alchemist Association’s vice-president happened to pass by to buy a batch of herbs. After hearing that a Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pill had appeared in the Treasure Hall, he changed his mind and suddenly took part in the bid.

He wanted to see what type of person dared to make pills without the Alchemist Association’s knowledge, especially a Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pill.

The guests all chattered amongst themselves. The Alchemist Association had made their move too, so it seemed like those pills were real.

However, the moment the Alchemist Association appeared, everyone else from Glass City fell silent.

No one dared to offend the Alchemist Association. The Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pill was a precious find, but there were only two of them. If they offended the Alchemist Association, where would they go if they wanted to buy pills in the future?

In the end, Glass City’s Alchemist Association bought the remaining pills with a thousand and five hundred taels.

Actually, the price was far more than what the Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pills should be worth. It was fortunate that the Alchemist Association’s vice-president didn’t buy them for his cultivation.

Ye Lingyue made a quick calculation in her mind. After deducting the handling fees, she would be able to get a thousand, three hundred and fifty taels still. The amount was already way above her expectations.

A second-grade Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pill could already sell at such an outrageous price. It was no wonder the Manager of the medicinal store said that fifth-grade pills required tens of thousands of gold.

After the auction of the Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pills, there were about five more items, including weapons and several stone carvings of type eight or nine martial arts skills.

With ‘Broken Thunder Fist’ and ‘Twisting Flower and Crushing Jade’, Ye Lingyue was not interested in the remaining items at all.

The girl dressed in red beside her remained quiet all the while as well.

It was only when they were at the tenth item that Ye Lingyue finally heard the Agkistrodon Acutus’ eggs.

“We have thirty Agkistrodon Acutus eggs here. After a mercenary team hunted and killed a couple of Agkistrodon Acutus, they raided the nest and obtained the eggs. This spiritual beast is a level two, and once the eggs are incubated, they will hatch into snakes. The eggs could also be used in medicine. We are selling the thirty Agkistrodon Acutus eggs together and the starting bid is at a thousand taels.” When the manager of Extraordinary House said the starting price, Ye Lingyue cursed in her mind.

She thought that she had earned quite a bit with the Blue-Patterned Dark Yin Pill. Who knew that the most important ingredient of making poison, the Agkistrodon Acutus eggs, would be so expensive? As a result, she had no choice but to use several of the golden leaves she had.

Then again, the Agkistrodon Acutus eggs were worth the price as well. After all, level two spiritual beasts weren’t that easy to deal with either. Besides, if one incubates and hatches an egg at the Spirit Pet shop, the price of it would skyrocket.

Not to mention, if it went to the Alchemist Association for them to make it into pills, their wealth would multiply.

“A thousand and one hundred taels.”

“A thousand and three hundred taels.”

As expected, the price of the thirty Agkistrodon Acutus eggs climbed steeply as the owners of several spirit pet shops and the vice-president of the Alchemist Association threw their bids out after the bid started.

The price only slowed down when it reached two thousand taels.

After all, no matter how high the price was, one might as well hire a small mercenary team to go to the forest and hunt for the eggs instead.

“Two thousand and three hundred taels.” When the time was about right, Ye Lingyue said her bid.

Hearing that someone had suddenly added their bid, the Alchemist Association and the people from the spirit pet stores glanced at Ye Lingyue. The person didn’t look familiar, so everyone was curious. Which family did this person belong to that she dared go against the Alchemist Association?

However, in the next moment, they saw the girl dressed in red sitting beside Ye Lingyue.

When they saw the girl, even the vice-president of the Alchemist Association’s expression changed a little. With how close Ye Lingyue was sitting next to the girl, they thought they were from the same party.

That girl also naturally received several probing gazes. However, she remained unmoved as she casually took a sip of tea, not bothering to stop the misunderstanding.

After Ye Lingyue had called her bid, everyone else suddenly fell silent somehow. In the end, she got those thirty Agkistrodon Acutus eggs at the price of two thousand and three hundred taels.
