Chapter 363: Rejuvenating Pill, Marina (Please subscribe)
The auction held by Neptune Pavilion was held at the Black Seal Auction House in the center of Black Seal City, the predecessor of the Eight Gates.
In order to prepare for this auction, Xiao Yixian ordered people to clear out all the large and small auction rooms in the former Black Seal Auction House, and renovate the walls and floors, turning more than two-thirds of the space in the entire building into a giant auction room.
But even so, it seems that the appeal of the elixirs refined by the seventh-grade alchemist to the major forces in the Black Horn Region has been underestimated.
When Xiao Se and the other five entered the auction house through the exclusive passage, they looked at the endless crowd, a sea of black. They were speechless, these guys were really crazier than each other.
Excluding Fengcheng, Xuezong, Diyanzong, Bashenmen, and Moyan Valley, which had already been incorporated into the territory of Neptune Pavilion, almost all the well-known forces in the entire Black Horn Region had come.
Among them, the Black Emperor Sect and Canaan Academy are the most eye-catching. They are both old-fashioned top-notch forces in the Black Horn Region, and they have Dou Zong powerhouses in charge. The latter has a close relationship with the Sea King Pavilion, and even several founders of the Sea King Pavilion are from Canaan Academy. Therefore, when the Canaan Academy personnel represented by Su Qian arrived, they received the highest level treatment from the Sea King Pavilion.
In addition to the Black Emperor Sect and Canaan Academy, many forces with Douzong masters like Luosha Sect and Crazy Lion Gang also came. Their purpose was very clear, that is, the Huangji Pill and the Pozong Pill. For this purpose, they even took out their most precious treasures. After all, the temptation of breaking through the Douzong is too great.
Of course, the majority of them are still lone strongmen, and the most representative one is the old man Yingshan who snatched the Bodhi Transformation Saliva from Xiao Yan in the original novel. When he appeared, even the Sea King Pavilion had to treat him with caution. Of course, this is the case when the former does not cause trouble, otherwise, no one thinks that the other party can leave alive. After all, the old demon of the earth is a vivid example.
In the largest luxurious box at the Black Seal City auction house, Xiao Se handed over the elixirs he had been refining for nearly a month to Little Medical Fairy, then took out a jade bottle from his ring and handed it to Die.
"What is this?" Die asked curiously.
"This is a prescription I got by chance, it's called the Rejuvenating Pill." Xiao Se showed a mysterious smile.
"Anti-aging pill?" The girls' eyes lit up.
"Yes, I think you have guessed it. The Rejuvenating Pill, as the name implies, can preserve one's appearance forever. Of course, life span remains unchanged." Xiao Se explained with a smile. He had obtained this prescription from the Mortal Cultivation World using the system. He had never refined it before because he had no materials. Now that the entire Sea King Pavilion has helped him collect them, it's time to consider his woman.
Hearing Xiao Se's words, Die pulled out the cork and swallowed the wine without any hesitation.
The anti-aging pill melted in her mouth and turned into a strange energy that flowed to her limbs and meridians. Immediately, Die's body began to undergo subtle changes, and her already fair and smooth skin seemed to become even more supple and lustrous.
"Wow, Xiao Se, I feel like my skin seems to have gotten better. Thank you." As she spoke, Die didn't care about Xiao Yixian and the others standing by, and excitedly threw herself into Xiao Se's arms, her delicate red lips reflected on Xiao Se's cheek.
Feeling the softness and tenderness on his cheek, Xiao Se was slightly startled and said to himself, Sasha, don't blame me, it was the butterfly that wanted to pounce on me.
The girls standing by felt jealous instantly when they saw this scene. They were not jealous of Die because in their hearts, Die would become a desolate woman sooner or later, it was just a matter of time. What they were really jealous of was the Rejuvenating Pill.
To maintain eternal beauty, what a great temptation it is, no woman in this world can resist it.
But even with such a precious elixir, Xiao Se only gave it to Die, a woman.
Does Xiao Se not love me anymore?
This is the common thought in the hearts of Xiao Yixian and Zhu Zhuqing at this moment.
As a foodie, Zi Yan went straight to Xiao Se and hugged his hand. She raised her head, blinking her big black eyes with innocence, and said pitifully, "Xiao Se, I want the anti-aging pill too."
"It's not that I can't give it to you." Xiao Se let go of Die and Zi Yan, took a few steps back, held up his chin and looked Zi Yan up and down, with a cunning look on his lips: "But are you sure you want it now? If you take the Rejuvenation Pill, you will never grow up. Even if you use up the power of the Transformation Grass in your body in the future, you will still look like this now."
"Ah, I can't grow up?" After hearing that she couldn't grow up after taking the anti-aging pill, Zi Yan's pink face turned pale and she waved her hands hastily, "No, no, I don't want an eternal youthful appearance."
With a slight smile, Xiao Se turned his gaze to Xiao Yixian and Zhu Zhuqing beside him: "Xian'er, Zhuqing, if you feel that you are perfect enough, you can take it now."
"Uh" Hearing this, Xiao Yixian and Zhu Zhuqing looked down at their flower buds, their pretty faces blushed slightly. One of them was eighteen years old, and the other was fifteen years old. The latter was fine, because of her strong genes, she had a hot body that was extremely inconsistent with her age. The former was a little dissatisfied. She looked at Die's perfect curves, and then at Zhu Zhuqing's. They were both very big, so why was hers just...
"No, wait another two years, wait another two years." Xiao Yixian hastily refused. Although it was not considered an ordinary month, it was definitely not big either. Xiao Se once said that women stop developing between the ages of nineteen and twenty, so she wanted to try again.
Xiao Se smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked teasingly, "What about Zhuqing?"
"I'll wait a few more years." Zhu Zhuqing blushed and avoided Xiao Se's gaze. Although she was very confident in her figure, it seemed that her face was still a little immature. What if Xiao Se's child grew up and mistook her for his sister? So she also wanted to wait until she was nineteen or twenty years old.
"Okay then." Xiao Se stopped teasing and started preparing for the auction.
At the same time, in a treasure appraisal room at the Black Seal City Auction House.
Xiao Yan was wearing a large black cloak and sitting in front of an old man in a gray robe.
"Sir, is this the treasure you want to appraise?" the old man asked Xiao Yan.
"Hmm." An old voice suddenly sounded from under the black robe, and then Xiao Yan took out a jade bottle from his arms.
Seeing the jade bottle in Xiao Yan's hand, the old man frowned, but out of duty, he still took the jade bottle for identification. After a moment, he shook his head.
"What? Is this pill fake?" Seeing the old man shaking his head, Xiao Yan suddenly felt dissatisfied. This was the Two-Line Green Spirit Pill that he had worked so hard to refine, just for the sake of coming to this grand auction and making a profit from it.
The old man sighed and said, "I'm sorry, old man. It's not that there's something wrong with your pill. If it were normal, your two-striped Qingling Pill would be sold for 800,000 or 900,000 gold coins. But this time is different. The Pavilion Master is personally handling the auction. The lowest prices are the top four pills such as the three-striped Qingling Pill and the Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pill. I'm afraid you have to wait until the next auction for your two-striped Qingling Pill. Otherwise, you can see if there are any other pills?"
"Next time." Xiao Yan frowned. At this time, where could he find a top-grade fourth-grade elixir?
As if he could see Xiao Yan's unhappiness, the old man changed the subject and said, "If you want to enter the auction house as soon as possible, you can show a net worth of more than two million."
"Two million." Xiao Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. At this moment, let alone two million, he couldn't even take out 20,000 gold coins. Just buying the medicinal materials for this three-pattern Qingling Pill had used up almost all of his savings.

"If you have a treasure that's worth no less than the Three-Pattern Purifying Spirit Pill and the Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pill, that's fine too." The old man could see through it this time, and the mysterious guy in front of him was actually a poor fellow.
"Teacher, look at this." Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao with some embarrassment in his heart.
"Just auction this for me." Yao Lao did not answer Xiao Yan, but directly controlled the latter's body to take out an ancient stone from the black storage ring.
"Na Ling." The old man's eyes lit up, this is a good thing.
"Is that enough?" Yao Lao asked impatiently.
"That's enough. That's enough. This piece of Naling is of good quality and worth more than a million gold coins." The old man nodded repeatedly. Without much hesitation, he took out a black iron token with the word "sea" embedded in it from the Naling ring and handed it to Yao Lao. "This is your token. Someone will take you to where you will sit later."
"Teacher, you sold Na Ling. What should I do to subdue the Strange Fire in the future?" Seeing Yao Lao handing over Na Ling, Xiao Yan said with some dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Don't worry, I have prepared more than just this one. Besides, this Na Ling is a treasure to say the best, but to put it bluntly, it is just an ordinary rotten stone. Apart from taming the strange fire, it is almost useless. What does it matter if there is one more or one less?" Yao Lao smiled obscenely, controlled Xiao Yan's body to take the token handed over by the old man, and turned to walk out of the treasure appraisal room.
After Xiao Yan left, the old man weighed the Na Ling in his hand, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and wrote a letter: The black-robed man suspected to be Xiao Yan has entered the auction house and his seat is ****.
After writing the letter, the old man put the Na Ling and the letter into a secret compartment on the wall behind him.
In the huge box, Xiao Yixian looked at the letter handed over by the maid and said to Xiao Se, "Xiao Se, that guy named Xiao Yan has sneaked in. Do you want to..."
Obviously, Little Medical Fairy has not given up on Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Fire.
"Let him be. It's not the right time yet." Xiao Se shook his head, a cunning look flashing across his eyes. Perhaps he could do something to benefit this auction.
"Okay then." Little Medical Fairy was a little discouraged.
"But it can still be fixed. You can do this or that." Xiao Se took out a bottle of potion from the ring and whispered a few words into Xiao Yixian's ear.
"You are too mean." When the little fairy doctor heard this, her pretty face immediately turned red. Then she smiled, took the potion, and chuckled, "But. I like it."
Soon, the auction began.
Xiao Yixian, the head of the Sea King Pavilion, went directly to the huge crystal platform in the auction hall and sat down, signaling the auctioneer to start. Xiao Se and the others continued to stay in the box and watch.
Xiao Yixian was in charge of the auction, and immediately attracted a lot of attention. The originally noisy auction hall suddenly became quiet. The title of Sky Poison Girl was not earned by Xiao Yixian herself, but she fought hard in the Black Horn Region in the past few years.
Especially after the battle with the Demon Flame Valley, it was revealed that Little Medical Fairy had the cultivation level of a Seven-Star Dou Zong, and she firmly suppressed the Old Demon Ghost who was also a Seven-Star Dou Zong. Everyone knew how terrifying she was.
Even the old man Yingshan, Mo Tianxing and other Dou Zong masters were in awe of him and dared not provoke him.
"Master, the auction is ready." The auctioneer was a well-dressed black-haired woman named Marina, who was picked out from the bottom by Xiao Yixian. Because she was beautiful and had a talent as an auctioneer, Xiao Yixian arranged for her to serve as the chief auctioneer of Black Seal City. She saluted respectfully to Xiao Yixian.
"Then let's get started, Marina." The Little Medical Fairy lazily raised her hand, her beautiful eyes swept across the boxes and stands, and when she passed where Xiao Yan was, she paused for a moment, a hint of teasing on her pretty face, causing Xiao Yan to feel a chill in his heart. She then retracted her gaze and closed her eyes to rest.
"Yes, Master." Marina responded respectfully without hesitation and started the auction in an orderly manner.
The first auction item was ten Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills. There were five groups in total, and the starting price of each group was no less than one million gold coins, and each bid increase was no less than one hundred thousand gold coins.
The second auction item is five Three-Pattern Pure Spirit Pills. There are five groups in total, and the starting price of each group is no less than 800,000 gold coins, and each increase in price is no less than 100,000 gold coins.
The operation of a large force cannot be separated from funds, so Xiao Se specially refined these cost-effective fourth-grade or fifth-grade elixirs to raise operating funds for the Neptune Pavilion.
Without exception, these elixirs had a great response. From lone strongmen to the first-class forces in the Black Horn Region such as the Rakshasa Sect, the Mad Lion Gang, and the Black Skull Tomb, all of them participated in the competition. They all wanted their descendants to quickly improve their cultivation and were willing to spend huge sums of money to do so.
They knew that gold coins would be useless in the future. Once the elixir reached the level of the sixth-grade elixir, it could no longer be bought with gold coins. They had to exchange it for something of sufficient value. There was no need to consider not being able to get the high-grade elixir they wanted because of a lack of gold coins.
It is precisely because of this that the Sea King Pavilion obtained wealth from the major forces in the Black Horn Region that is enough to make any force in the entire Black Horn Region jealous.
However, no matter how jealous they were, no one dared to have any bad intentions. Not to mention that the Sea King Pavilion's leader, Tian Du Nu, was unmatched in the Black Horn Region. Even the seventh-grade alchemist standing behind her could summon a large number of Dou Zong and Dou Huang masters with just a wave of his hand. By then, you would not even know how you died.
After some appetizers, the auction finally reached its climax.
The Little Medical Fairy just raised her jade hand, and three streams of light floated out from her storage ring, landed on the auction counter, and turned into three brocade boxes.
Marina carefully opened each box, took a deep breath, and said in a delicate and tender voice that made people's bones numb:
"The 21st auction item, three sixth-grade Douling Pills, divided into three groups. The effect of this pill is to enable Douwang-level strongmen to improve their cultivation by one star. It can only be exchanged for goods, not gold coins."
As the auctioneer Marina finished her words, the entire auction hall instantly became lively. Pairs of eyes stared at the round pill in the brocade box, their pupils filled with salivation and greed.
