Chapter 687: Chapter 678: Spiritual Elixir Child

"The next item up for auction is the centerpiece of this event."

Under the gaze of everyone present, Lin Xiaxue spoke with a smile, "Many of the seniors here probably know what this is already, right?"

"Four-leaf ginseng!"

A deep voice came from one of the private rooms on the second floor. The speaker was an old man, his eyes glinting with determination, clearly intent on acquiring the four-leaf ginseng that was about to be auctioned.

"Indeed, it is the four-leaf ginseng!"

Lin Xiaxue nodded. "This four-leaf ginseng is one of the most high-level medicinal herbs of our time, extremely rare. As for its effects, there’s no need for me to explain further. I’m sure all the seniors here understand better than I do."

"The starting bid is ten million spirit stones, with each subsequent bid no less than one million. Now, let the auction begin."

As Lin Xiaxue’s voice fell, the room burst into excitement. In the first-floor hall, no one spoke up to bid since this item was beyond their reach. Without needing to think, it was clear that the eventual winner of this four-leaf ginseng would be one of the Alchemy Dao Masters in the second-floor private rooms.

"The number of alchemists who have shown up this time is unknown, but it seems the competition for the four-leaf ginseng will be incredibly fierce."

"It’s heard that in the private rooms on the second floor alone, there are seven or eight alchemists who have reached the Holy Rank, each one a renowned master of the Alchemy Dao Realm!"

People speculated about who would ultimately win the four-leaf ginseng.

"Fifteen million!"

"Sixteen million!"

"Eighteen million!"

The bidding began swiftly, as everyone anticipated. All the bids came from personalities in the private rooms on the second floor.

"Twenty million!"

"Twenty-three million!"

"Twenty-five million!"

In just a few moments, the price soared from the starting bid of ten million spirit stones to twenty-five million. The room fell silent, everyone holding their breath, unable to hide their astonishment at these soaring bids.

"No wonder alchemists are wealthy individuals," remarked an elder from a Sacred Land. The manner in which these alchemists bid was so generous and straightforward, not a hint of hesitation, as if spirit stones were not even spirit stones to them.

"Twenty-eight million spirit stones!"

"Thirty million spirit stones!"

"Thirty-two million spirit stones!"

The bidding escalated further, quickly surpassing thirty-two million, an astronomical figure, with no sign of stopping.

"Thirty-five million!" In room eight, an elder walked to the window.

His hair and beard were white, yet he wore light clothing, a young boy following reverently behind him, clearly his disciple.

"No wonder the voice sounded familiar, it turned out to be Daoist Fellow He!"

In room three, a Holy Rank alchemist spoke up, his gaze directed at the elder with white hair in room eight.

"Is he Sage He?"

"Rumor has it that among all the Holy Rank alchemists in the Heavenly Gang, few can compare to him. It’s surprising he showed up today."

The crowd was surprised and began discussing vigorously, seemingly recognizing the white-haired elder in room eight.

"Sage He?"

In room six, Mo Wangchen furrowed his brow in confusion, having never heard of such a person.

But now it seemed that the man had a big reputation, and now with a bid of thirty-five million spirit stones, he was clearly intent on acquiring the four-leaf ginseng. If Mo Wangchen also participated in the bidding, would it provoke the enmity of this Sage He, as it did with Bai Le earlier?

Even though he possessed Lin’s True Technique, Mo Wangchen could walk the world alone, but he didn’t want to create too many strong enemies for himself.

"There is no need for excessive courtesy, my fellow Daoists. As alchemists of the Heavenly Gang, we should work together and make progress. Today, the four-leaf ginseng is up for grabs; let each compete by their own skills, without discord."

In room eight, Daoist He spoke with a gentle smile, surveying the entire room, his demeanor exceedingly courteous.

"It’s said that Daoist He is affable, and now it seems the rumor is true."

"Even at such a high position, having an Equanimous demeanor like Daoist He is rare in the Vast Heavenly Gang."

In the venue, many people looked at Daoist He with admiration, venerating him as a person truly worthy of respect.

"Rumor has it that Daoist He has a disciple who goes by the name of the Spiritual Pill Child; it’s said he is the reincarnation of a mighty figure of the Alchemy Dao, with astonishing alchemy skills, living for nearly a century but retaining the appearance of a teenager. That little boy following Daoist He must be him."

"The boy looks about twelve or thirteen; could he be the legendary Spiritual Pill Child?"

"He is surely a top genius of our time, excelling in both alchemy and martial arts. Even Bai Le, who just left, could not claim to surpass the Spiritual Pill Child."

Many eyes gleamed with interest, as the Spiritual Pill Child held a great reputation in Central State, being one of the outstanding figures of the younger generation.

"Ha-ha, this young friend is indeed the Spiritual Pill Child under Sage He’s tutelage?"

In a certain booth, an elder laughed heartily as he walked toward the window. His hair was loose and untamed, giving off a grand and heroic vibe.

"It’s the Mad Daoist from the East!"

Inside the venue, someone recognized him with a shock.

"What? He’s the Mad Daoist from the Eastern region?"

"This man isn’t mad, but his actions are eccentric and unpredictable, giving rise to the title of Mad Daoist."

"Among contemporary top experts, the Mad Daoist absolutely ranks, excelling in both alchemy and martial arts!"

"Ha-ha, I can’t believe there are still people who recognize me after I’ve been away for so many years."

The Mad Daoist laughed heartily, then turned once more toward room eight. He respectfully cupped his hands toward Daoist He at a distance, seeming quite courteous, and looked at the Spiritual Pill Child. "Young friend, excelling in both alchemy and martial arts, would you be willing to join my tutelage? I could surely help you progress even further!"

"What do you mean by that, Mad Daoist?"

Before the Spiritual Pill Child could respond, Daoist He reacted first, narrowing his eyes, his expression extremely displeased.

How dare the other party openly express interest in his disciple right in front of him?

"Ha-ha, I was merely asking casually, Daoist Fellow He, please don’t take offense."

Despite his words, the Mad Daoist’s gaze remained fixed on the Spiritual Pill Child.

"Senior’s kindness is appreciated, but my master treats me like a mountain, and I would never change allegiance in this lifetime."

The Spiritual Pill Child stepped forward, politely cupping his hands toward the Mad Elder at a distance. His voice, tender, matched his appearance, no different from a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.

"Such a pity, such a pity indeed."

The Mad Elder remarked with a hint of regret, "In the Vast Heavenly Gang, there is likely no second person with your dual prowess in alchemy and martial arts. Even if there were, they’d fall far short of you."

"Senior flatters me. Regarding those with dual prowess in alchemy and martial arts, there are indeed many throughout the Vast Heavenly Gang, Central State, and the Four Great Immortal Domains. I dare not claim the first place. As far as I know, a formidable figure resides in the Northern Immortal Domain."

Hearing the Spiritual Pill Child’s words, the Mad Elder was surprised, "Are you referring to the Pill Dissolution Sect Divine Son, Chu Feng? I’ve seen him once; he can also lay claim to dual prowess, but compared to you, he still falls short."

The Spiritual Pill Child shook his head, "I speak of the one known as having a Divine King Body!"
