The maid served the best spiritual tea and fruits and was waved away by the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper then respectfully bowed to the four people and said: "I don't know what the four seniors need when they come to Lingyuan Pavilion. Lingyuan Pavilion has branches in many cities. Within our capabilities, Lingyuan Pavilion will do our best."
Lingyuan Pavilion naturally had a powerful background, but the shopkeeper, who had close contact with them, found that the four people were really young in bone age, but he had never heard of their names, and he didn't know which force had cultivated such outstanding talents who had never shown their faces outside. They were doing business, and when they met such genius cultivators, they would naturally try to win them over, or at least not let people have a bad impression of Lingyuan Pavilion. But Lingyuan Pavilion itself was not afraid of trouble anyway.
Gu Yao smiled, hearing from the shopkeeper's words that the force behind Lingyuan Pavilion was not smaller than the Mu family in Jiangyun City, otherwise how could they open their business all over the continent?
Tian Feirong smiled warmly and said: "We have some things to ask Lingyuan Pavilion for help. The shopkeeper can rest assured that it is not a big deal, just entrust Lingyuan Pavilion to hold an auction and sell some pills."
The shopkeeper looked at the four people in surprise. Chi Changye calmly drank tea. Gu Yao was interested in the spiritual fruits in his hand. He knew that the four people had discussed it and let Tian Feirong be the spokesperson. "What kind of pills are they? Do they need an auction?"
He was worried that the pills he took out were not enough, so he needed to take a look first.
Tian Feirong threw out a storage bag. The shopkeeper quickly took it and opened it. The first jade bottle he grabbed contained a top-grade Tianyuan Pill, which shocked him. He looked at the four people sitting in the seats and then at the pills in his hand. He thought it was no wonder that they could consecutively form their golden cores. They even took out the top-grade Tianyuan Pills for auction. He used at least this grade himself.
The shopkeeper quickly clapped his hands and called someone in. He checked and registered all the pills one by one. There were two or three kinds of pills that helped forming the golden core, and none of them were not top-grade pills. The pills used by the foundation-building period were even more extreme-grade pills. What shocked him the most was that these pills looked like they were made by the same person. Could it be that one of the four people was an alchemist?
"Who is the alchemist who made these pills?"
"It was me. We don't need these pills anymore. The shopkeeper can help me take a look. If they are not enough for the auction, just help me exchange them for spirit stones and spirit grasses." Gu Yao spoke up at this time. He had nothing to hide about his identity as an alchemist. He didn't say it now, but when the news from the Ten Thousand Mountains came out, someone would know.
"So it's Yao alchemist. I'm sorry for my poor eyesight." The shopkeeper's eyes became fiery. "Yao alchemist can rest assured that we will hold an auction for these pills as soon as possible. The four seniors don't have a place to stay yet, right? Why don't we arrange it for you?"
Gu Yao looked at the other three people. They all let him decide. So he nodded and said: "Thank you for your trouble, shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper immediately called a capable subordinate to take Gu Yao and them to the guest house of Lingluo Pavilion to rest. He took the pills and went to see the elder in charge of the pavilion. The elder was initially startled by the four golden core auras, but when he found out it was them, he withdrew his divine sense quietly, because he found out that one of them was actually in the same stage as him, the golden core middle stage. He didn't know if the cultivator who spread these words before was blind, mistaking a golden core cultivator for a foundation builder. Of course, it might also be the other party's deliberate act.
"That Changye fellow is a golden core middle stage cultivator. Now this Yao fellow is also an alchemist. We Lingluo Pavilion should be friendly with them. This auction must be done well. If they need spirit grasses, we will send some more over. Anyway, we Lingyuan Pavilion will not lose out." The elder looked at the pills and was delighted. These pills didn't look like they were refined after forming the golden core, because the time was wrong. That meant that he had the strength of a seventh-grade alchemist before forming the golden core. Now that he had formed the golden core, his alchemy skills were even better, right? The elder was very looking forward to it.
"Okay, I'll arrange someone to send a batch of spirit grasses over." The shopkeeper also knew this was a good opportunity to make friends.
"Watch out for the Mu family over there. That Mu An kid, he also overestimated himself and had ideas about them. Hmph!" The elder snorted unhappily.
"I will be careful."
The shopkeeper left. Sure enough, not long after, Lingyuan Pavilion received a post from the Mu family. The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with displeasure. This Mu family was also bossy to Lingyuan Pavilion. Did they really think that forming a golden core was amazing?
Becoming a disciple of a Nascent Soul powerhouse didn't mean that he could become a Nascent Soul powerhouse himself. How many golden core cultivators fell at the threshold of condensing the Nascent Soul? Otherwise, there would be countless golden cores on the continent, but Nascent Soul powerhouses were rare as phoenix feathers and dragon scales.
The shopkeeper said politely to the Mu family's people that Changye and the others were the guests of honor of Lingyuan Pavilion, and they were now staying in the guest house of Lingyuan Pavilion. He would send someone to deliver the post to the guests in the guest house. "Please wait a moment."
He didn't let them go to the guest house to disturb the guests, and everything was based on the guests' wishes. The shopkeeper emphasized the word "guests of honor" very heavily.
The Mu family's people looked very unhappy. A small shopkeeper dared to show them a face. In fact, the shopkeeper was very polite, but the Mu family's people felt that the shopkeeper didn't take them to see the person immediately, which was a way of evading and not taking the Mu family seriously. They thought they would go back and complain to the family head.
The shopkeeper saw their reaction and laughed in his heart. The Mu family was so arrogant after they got lucky. They were looking for death. The guard of Lingyuan Pavilion took the post and immediately sent it to the guest house, where the four people who had just settled down received it.
Tian Feirong picked up the post and sneered: "The Mu family? What a big show! We didn't go to settle accounts with them, but they couldn't wait to come and pressure us?"
Wasn't it pressure to invite them over at this time? If they wanted to apologize, they should have come to the door themselves.
Xiao Pangzi pouted and said: "Let them hang, Chi Ge, is that okay?"
"Um, let them hang." Chi Changye said coldly.
Tian Feirong sent the post to the guard waiting outside, and explained the four people's meaning. The guard knew the shopkeeper's attitude, and also understood the whole story, so he was not surprised by this result. If they had compromised under the pressure of the Nascent Soul master behind Mu An, they would not have killed Hua Gu and the others without mercy in the first place.
The Mu family's people who got the reply looked even worse. They didn't even say hello when they left. The shopkeeper just chuckled twice, not knowing what they meant.
As soon as the Mu family's people left, Lingyuan Pavilion sent the news of the upcoming auction to various forces in Jiangyun City, along with the key auction list. In addition to the part of the pills provided by Gu Yao, Lingyuan Pavilion also brought up the items prepared for the next auction, just to expand the momentum of this auction.
Not only Jiangyun City, but also the nearby towns and cities received the flyers from Lingyuan Pavilion. As soon as they saw the top-grade Tianyuan Pills listed on them, many forces couldn't help but hurry to Jiangyun City. Lingyuan Pavilion's reputation was still guaranteed, and they wouldn't take out fake products to deceive them.
Jiangyun City was even more sensational. Top-grade Tianyuan Pills, ah, all the cultivators who had reached the peak of foundation building were eager to get them. The low-grade pills had a low chance of forming the golden core, but the top-grade pills could increase the chance by one or two percent, and they wouldn't conflict with other auxiliary items. Especially on the auction list, there were also other auxiliary pills, which were also top-grade. If they could all be auctioned off, they could literally pile up a golden core.
Many forces were determined to get the top-grade Tianyuan Pills, so they quickly mobilized and collected a large amount of spirit stones. Some forces also paid attention to the source of these pills. How did Lingyuan Pavilion suddenly have so many good quality pills?
Some careful people noticed one thing, that was, Lingyuan Pavilion received four cultivators and placed them in the guest house. They heard that they were treated as honored guests, and even the Mu family's people wanted to see them, as long as the four people didn't agree, Lingyuan Pavilion would stop the Mu family's people outside.
"Third Elder, do you think these pills have anything to do with Changye and them? If they brought them out, then it would make sense why they formed their golden cores one after another. If…"
If Yan family had so many good quality pills, Yan family could also have a few more golden cores. It was a pity that they had to try every means to get the low-grade Tianyuan Pills.
People are more annoying than people. They don't even use the low-grade ones, they just use the top-grade ones.
The first elder smiled bitterly, this was the only expression he could make recently: "I guess one of them is an alchemist himself. I heard that Lingyuan Pavilion sent a batch of spirit grasses to the guest house. That batch of spirit grasses was very valuable. I heard they were all used to refine seventh-grade pills."
Seventh-grade pills were expensive, and the spirit grasses used to refine them were not common goods. They wouldn't be wasted casually.
"What?" Yan family head was stunned for a while, and then regretted immensely. "Does that mean that a great opportunity slipped away from us? Is it too late to remedy it now? By the way, didn't you say that Yuchen liked Changye cultivator? Would it work if we send Yuchen over now?"
"Absolutely not!" Yan Xun quickly stopped him. "Family head, unless Yuchen is willing to be a concubine, otherwise it will only annoy them for no reason. I didn't know their details before, and I thought Yuchen was good enough for Changye cultivator, but now it's clear that it's a high climb. Besides, since they came to Jiangyun City, they haven't had anything to do with our Yan family. This time they didn't ask us for help, but went to Lingyuan Pavilion. Can't you see it clearly, family head?"
"This…" Yan family head hesitated. "Why don't we ask Yuchen's opinion?" If they could get along with this relationship, it would be worth sending a few concubines.
The first elder Yan Xun: "…I'll go and ask Yuchen." The third elder sighed in his heart. The desire to form the golden core was more important than anything else to the family head.
Not only Yan family, but also other sharp-eyed forces linked these pills to Gu Yao and the others. Especially the movement of Lingyuan Pavilion mobilizing spirit grasses was also noticed by them. They believed their judgment even more. So after the Mu family, there were people who sent greeting cards, gifts, and even cultivators who were trained as cauldrons.
