OBS Chapter 8: The Gama Empire actually has a 7th-grade alchemist?
Chapter 8: The Gama Empire actually has a 7th-grade alchemist?
After returning to the side courtyard, Xiao Chen closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.
He reviewed what he had gained over the past few days.
Xiao Yan consumed the Foundation Establishment Elixir and obtained the seventh-grade pill, the Instantaneous Pill.
Xiao Yan cultivated Yellow-rank fighting skills and obtained the Heaven-rank fighting skill Yellow Springs Wrath.
In other words.
The stronger Xiao Yan becomes, the more rewards he receives.
The problem is that Xiao Yan is only at the third level of Dou Qi, and even if he improves at a fast pace, it will still take time.
If I want to get more feedback, I have to find a way to make Xiao Yan faster.
They offer combat skills, elixirs, and cultivation techniques.
But I don't have much money on hand right now.
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment.
He still had a seventh-grade pill called the Instantaneous Pill. It was of little use to him, but it could probably fetch a good price at auction.
With money, I can buy more things to give to Xiao Yan.
As Xiao Yan becomes stronger, he will receive more rewards.
This deal is a sure thing, you can't lose money.
Xiao Chen made up his mind and stood up.
He pushed open the door, walked into the courtyard, and activated his internal fighting spirit.
A pair of battle-axe wings unfolded from his back, with a wingspan of two or three meters, emitting a faint glow.
The mark of a powerful warrior is the transformation of fighting spirit into wings.
Xiao Chen lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure soared into the sky, flying towards the capital of the Jia Ma Empire.
……
The capital of the Gama Empire, the Mittel Auction House.
This is the largest auction house in the empire, belonging to the Mittel family, and enjoys an extremely high reputation throughout the empire.
At the entrance to the auction house, two guards stood ramrod straight.
He eyed the passersby warily.
Xiao Chen landed at the entrance of the auction house, retracted his battle qi wings, and stepped inside.
A middle-aged man who looked like a manager came forward with a smile on his face.
"Sir, how can I help you?"
Xiao Chen said calmly, "Auctioning the pills."
Upon hearing this, the manager's smile widened even more.
At the Mittel auction house, elixirs are among the most popular auction items.
"My lord, please come with me. We have professional alchemists who can appraise your pills."
Xiao Chen nodded and followed the steward inside.
The two walked through a corridor and came to a reception room.
The steward invited Xiao Chen to sit down and had tea served before asking, "May I ask, sir, what grade of pill are you bidding for?"
"Seventh rank," Xiao Chen replied calmly.
The moment he finished speaking, the manager's smile froze.
He thought he had misheard, so he stood there stunned for a while.
"Excuse me, sir, may I ask what grade of elixir you just mentioned was to be auctioned?"
He thought he had misheard.
A seventh-grade elixir—a seventh-grade elixir has never appeared in the entire Gama Empire before.
Even Gu He, who was known as the King of Pills, could only refine sixth-grade pills.
The young man in front of me looks to be only a teenager.
How could he possibly have a seventh-grade elixir?
Are you sure you're not joking?
A young man dressed in a brocade robe walked in, followed by two attendants.
He looked at Xiao Chen with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
"Kid, do you even know what a seventh-grade pill is?"
"No one in the entire Gama Empire can refine seventh-grade pills. What are you going to use for the auction?"
"Are they trying to fool people with a fake product?"
The manager looked somewhat embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Sir, our auction house has rules that pills must be appraised before they can be auctioned."
"If you can't produce a seventh-grade pill, it's best not to make such a joke."
Xiao Chen glanced at the young man but said nothing.
He took a medicine box from his pocket and placed it on the table.
The person in charge glanced at it and hesitated.
The young man sneered again, "Pretending."
Xiao Chen still ignored him.
The steward looked at the medicine box, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Please wait a moment, sir, I will go and fetch the alchemist."
He turned and left the reception room, walking quickly inside.
Seeing that Xiao Chen remained silent, the young man assumed he was guilty and became even more smug.
"Kid, I advise you to leave now, don't embarrass yourself here."
"A seventh-grade pill? If you can produce a seventh-grade pill, I'll eat this table."
Xiao Chen held his teacup without even lifting his eyelids.
……
The manager jogged all the way to the innermost room of the auction house.
Two people were sitting in the room, drinking tea and chatting.
One is Mittel Tengshan of the Mittel family, and the other is Fama, the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Gama Empire.
Both were influential figures in the Gama Empire.
Mittel Tengshan is the patriarch of the Mittel family and a Seven-Star Dou Wang powerhouse.
Fama is the president of the Alchemist Guild, a fifth-grade alchemist, and holds a very high position in the empire.
At this moment, the two are talking about recent events.
"How are the preparations for the Alchemist Conference going, President Fama?" Mittel Tengshan asked.
Fama smiled and said, "That's about right. There are more people signing up this year than in previous years."
"Among the younger generation of alchemists in the empire, there are several with considerable talent."
Just as Fama was about to continue speaking, the steward rushed in.
"Clan leader, someone outside is auctioning off pills."
Mittel Tengshan frowned: "Auctioning pills? You need to report something like that?"
The steward swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly: "Clan leader, that person said he wanted to auction off... a seventh-grade elixir."
Mittel Tengshan suddenly stood up, his expression changing drastically.
"What did you say? A seventh-grade elixir?"
Fama was stunned, and almost dropped his teacup.
"A seventh-grade elixir? Are you sure?"
The steward hurriedly said, "That person was referring to the seventh rank. I wasn't sure, so I came to ask the clan leader to take a look."
Mittel Tengshan and Fama exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Grade 7 elixir.
In the entire Jia Ma Empire, even the strongest Pill King, Gu He, could only refine sixth-grade pills.
Seventh-grade pills are something even Gu He couldn't refine.
If it really is a seventh-grade elixir, its value is simply immeasurable.
"Let's go take a look."
Without saying a word, Mittel Tengshan strode outside.
Fama quickly followed, his face full of urgency.
……
The two followed the steward to the door of the reception room and immediately saw Xiao Chen sitting inside.
Mittel Tengshan looked Xiao Chen up and down, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
How can someone so young produce a seventh-grade pill?
Fama was also shocked, but he suppressed his doubts and went inside.
"My lord, I heard you're going to auction off a seventh-grade elixir?"
Xiao Chen nodded and pushed the pills on the table over.
Fama took the medicine box, and a rich medicinal aroma instantly filled the air.
His face changed, and his hands trembled slightly.
"This...this really is a seventh-grade elixir!"
Fama's voice trembled, and her eyes were filled with excitement.
In all his years in the Alchemist Guild, he had never seen a seventh-grade pill.
But this medicinal fragrance, these patterns, this color—it's undoubtedly a seventh-grade elixir.
Mittel Tengshan also came over, looking at the pill with shock in his eyes.
"President Fama, are you sure?"
Fama took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
"I'm certain this is definitely a seventh-grade pill."
"Moreover, its quality is extremely high; even among seventh-grade pills, it is considered top-grade."
"There is no sixth-grade pill with such high quality."
Mittel Tengshan's expression changed completely.
His gaze toward Xiao Chen changed from doubt to respect.
Anyone who can produce a seventh-grade pill is definitely not an ordinary person.
