Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Blood Sword Gang

The Continuation Pill meant little to Chu Feng, as it was nothing rare to him, but to others, it was a lifesaving high-grade elixir.

Cultivating the Sword Dao requires the consolidation of sword meridians and the gathering of Sword Qi within the body.

This is extremely dangerous.

A slight mishap could rupture the meridians within oneself. If only ordinary channels are affected, the problem may not be severe. However, if vital channels like the Heart Meridian, Lung Meridian, or the major arteries are severed, then the situation is likely grim.

If one has a Continuation Pill at hand, just consuming it will immediately repair the meridians.

It would naturally turn peril into safety.

However, the difficulty of concocting the Continuation Pill is extremely high, with no fixed market price, making it a sought-after item. This is why the Continuation Pill is particularly in demand on the market.

Otherwise, a mere First-grade Elixir wouldn’t even be qualified to enter the auction.

"Pure color, full shape, and rich fragrance, this pill is top-grade! The estimated price is 3,000 silver taels apiece!"

The elderly appraiser announced an auction base price. The actual transaction price would undoubtedly be higher.

Just the cost of the materials needed to concoct a batch of Continuation Pills requires 3,000 silver taels, not to mention the pill is particularly difficult to refine, with an extremely low success rate. Ordinary Pill Masters wouldn’t dare to attempt it.

Because one would need to successfully produce at least one pill to break even.

"The price is not a problem! Now please appraise this pill," Chu Feng pointed to the Puppet Elixir.

He always acted prudently. With only two Continuation Pills left, he sold one for liquidation and saved the other for emergencies. Such a thing was like a lifesaver, never knowing when it might save a life.

The elderly appraiser held the Puppet Elixir, stared at it, furrowing his brows tightly, his expression very serious.

Apparently, he had not yet recognized what kind of elixir it was.

Primarily because this pill wasn’t in circulation in the market, so he had never seen it before.

The elder sniffed the pill closely to his nose, trying to identify its composition through its fragrance, thus deducing what kind of elixir it was.

"Ah, don’t smell it..." Chu Feng’s warning came too late.

At that moment, the elder’s eyes became hazy, as if he was drunk. His face turned red, and he looked at Chu Feng with a silly, infatuated smile.

The main ingredient of the Puppet Elixir was Enchanting Grass. Being personally refined by Chu Feng, the Alchemy Venerate, its efficacy was almost fully preserved. Its power was beyond imagination.

The appraiser, who rashly sniffed it, was instantly ensnared.

"Wake up!"

Chu Feng quickly reached out and pinched the elder’s philtrum, rescuing him from his enchanted state.

"Cough... What a potent elixir! This, isn’t this the mythical Enchanting Elixir?" The appraiser looked embarrassed. As an appraiser, to be overpowered by the very elixir he was evaluating, he had truly lost face.

"It’s not the Enchanting Elixir, but the Puppet Elixir, which is of even higher grade!"

"Those at and below the level of a Sword Saint who consume this pill will immediately become someone else’s puppet, compelled to do whatever is demanded of them!"

Since it was just Chu Feng and the appraiser in the appraisal room, he had no reservations.

He straightforwardly revealed the capabilities of the elixir.

Given the limited expertise of this appraiser, expecting him to identify it was unlikely to happen anyway.

Seeing the old man ready to flip through the thick volume of the Elixir Medicine Treasure Book at his side.

It contained records of various elixirs, equivalent to an encyclopedia of elixirs.

"So it’s a Puppet Elixir, no wonder I thought it was so powerful! Young man, did you concoct this elixir? How much are you planning to sell it for?" Even a Sword Saint Level expert could be controlled, which is quite terrifying indeed.

The value of this elixir is immeasurable.

With years of experience, the appraiser knew very well that the moment this Puppet Elixir makes an appearance at the auction, it will surely cause a huge uproar. As for the elixir’s actual effects, the elder really had no way to appraise them.

"The starting price is twenty thousand silver taels! Whatever price it gets auctioned for, that’s the price!"

"As for the efficacy, I can assure you, it’s exactly as I described! I’m not the one who can concoct this elixir; it was made by my master!"

Chu Feng flatly denied that he concocted the Puppet Elixir himself.

On one hand, being too young himself, it would be hard to convince others. On the other hand, using the identity of his master could more effectively intimidate people.

After all, it was his first time working with the auction house, and they had not established enough trust with each other yet.

"As long as it can truly control a Sword Saint Level expert, twenty thousand silver taels is really not expensive at all!"

"Alright, I will describe the efficacy of this elixir as you indicated."

The appraiser has a certain responsibility for the report he issues. However, he already had a taste of the elixir’s power, and even if Chu Feng had exaggerated, he wasn’t worried. At least it wouldn’t be too far off.

Moreover, appraising a superior elixir would greatly augment his own reputation.

In addition, the appraisal fee provided by the auction house was a considerable sum of silver. An elixir valued at twenty thousand would earn him an appraisal fee of at least two hundred silver taels.

If the actual auction price exceeds twenty thousand, he would make even more.

"These two elixirs are entrusted to your establishment for the auction, I have two requests: that they be auctioned promptly, and that you keep my identity confidential."

After completing the procedures, Chu Feng stated his requirements.

"Maintaining the client’s confidentiality is a principle and bottom line we have always adhered to at our auction house! As for the auction time, if I’m not mistaken, there’s an auction this afternoon, and you can enter with this number plate."

The elder smiled and handed Chu Feng a number plate to enter the auction venue.

...

The scale of the Heaven and Earth Auction is definitely the largest in the Jianyun Dynasty, boasting robust strength, a good reputation, and thoughtful service.

Chu Feng, wearing a cloak that covered his entire head and dressed in a black robe, entered the auction venue.

As one prestigious guest after another began to take their seats, a beautiful and elegant lady auctioneer already ascended to the auction stage, making preparations.

Chu Feng’s eyes swept across the crowd, noticing some guests, like himself, who were also cloaked from head to toe.

However, there were also many guests who, confident in their strength and distinguished identity, chose to reveal their true faces.

Many big shots from the Royal Capital, usually hard to come across, were all present.

Royal Family, the Qiao Family, Mo Family, Han Family... almost every major force was in attendance. Because sometimes, the treasures appearing at auctions could greatly augment a family’s strength if acquired.

It could even decide the rise and fall of a major force.

This is no exaggeration, but a real possibility.

"Haha, I hope Bloody Beard hasn’t arrived too late?" A loud, resounding voice rose. The crowd turned to look and saw a middle-aged man with a fierce aura, a thick yellow beard, and several grim scars on his face and head.

At first glance, this man seemed not to be trifled with; he laughed as he made his way to the front row.

Guests who recognized him immediately showed expressions of fear.

This bearded man was the Gang Leader of the Capital Blood Sword Gang, Hu Wanshan, known as Bloody Beard, with a notorious reputation.
