The First Saint of Alchemy

Not long after, an old man came out from the backstage.

"I am Xie Zhang. I will host the auction tonight. It is an honor to meet you all. For this auction, Tianbao has been preparing for a whole month and collected a large number of treasures. I believe everyone is looking forward to tonight's auction.

Let's not talk too much nonsense, the auction starts now!"

Xie Zhang didn't say much nonsense. After a simple opening speech, he started the auction: "The first item to be auctioned is the three-leaf blood-activating grass. This medicinal material has the functions of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, eliminating toxins, beautifying and prolonging life. If you want your beloved to be as beautiful as a flower and retain her youth, you can take a picture of it and give it to her.

Of course, there are many other health-preserving effects, so I won't explain them one by one.

The starting price is one thousand taels of silver, and each bid must not be less than one hundred taels!"

"One thousand two hundred taels!" As soon as Xie Zhang finished speaking, a bid came immediately.

"One thousand five hundred taels!"

"Two thousand taels!"

"..." The bids around him came one after another, and Tang Yan stared at the spiritual medicine with a dull look.

The whole plant of spiritual medicine has only one stem with three relatively thick leaves on it, which are green and full of vitality.

As an alchemist, when he saw this herb, he felt a subtle fresh aura emanating from the herb with his keen intuition.

It turned out to be three-leaf blood-activating grass! The base price is only one thousand two silvers?

Tang Yan wanted to roar twice to express his excitement. People in this world don’t even know the true effect of three-leaf blood-activating grass?

The main function of this medicine is not to activate blood circulation and nourish the skin, but to increase mental strength!

A person has essence, qi, and spirit in his body. Among them, "qi" can be obtained through cultivation. But the essence and spirit are extremely difficult to cultivate. But as an alchemist, he needs a strong mental strength.

The greatest effect of three-leaf blood-activating grass is precisely to temper the spirit!

So it has another alias in the alchemist world called "refining spirit grass", which is often hard to find.

"Eight thousand two silvers, no one bids again?"

"Eight thousand two silvers, the second time!" Xie Zhang shouted on the stage.

The first item in the opening was generally considered by everyone to be a bit worthless. It was already very good to be able to auction it for 8,000 taels of silver. Xie Zhang had no objection to this price. He thought that no one would bid again. When the hammer was about to fall, Tang Yan finally recovered from his shock.

"Fifty thousand taels!" Tang Yan blurted out.

Xie Zhang was stunned.

Zi Yun next to him was stunned.

Everyone in the venue was stunned.

Is this guy sick? He didn't bid earlier, but started to bid at the last moment. No one bid for 8,000 taels of silver. Who would be in the mood to compete with you if you raised the price to 10,000 taels of silver? Now it has actually increased six times!

Everyone looked at Tang Yan with complicated expressions. This young master of the Tang family who has been in the limelight in Yuncheng recently turned out to be a top idiot!

"Mr. Tang, this is Tianbao Auction House. Once you offer a price, it's gone." Xie Zhang had heard of the bad reputation of Tang Dawanku before, and now he frowned and "reminded" him.

Tang Yan also realized that his offer was a bit high, but compared with the value of this spiritual medicine, 50,000 taels of silver was still worth it! He took out a 50,000 tael silver note from his arms, slapped it on the table, and said with a rich and powerful look: "Young Master has plenty of money, the more you spend, the happier you are!"

When everyone heard Tang Yan's words, their heads were full of black lines at the same time. I'm afraid that the next day, Tang Yan's reputation as the first prodigal son in Yuncheng will return.

Xie Zhang didn't know whether he should cry or laugh at this moment. Tang Yan's prodigal behavior definitely established his position as a master of auction. An item worth less than 10,000 taels of silver was sold for 50,000 taels in his hands!

"50,000 taels for the first time!"

"50,000 taels for the second time!"

"The third time, deal!" Xie Zhang dropped the hammer, and his heart finally settled down. Damn, 50,000 taels of silver is not a lot in Tianbao Auction House, but orders with several times the premium are really rare.

"Are you sick?" Ziyun glanced at Tang Yan with a little disdain.

"Hehe, what do women know?" Tang Yan crossed his legs proudly.

Seeing Tang Yan's attitude of not fearing boiling water, Ziyun simply didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"The second item to be auctioned is a purple heart jade pendant. It is collected from the jade stone at the bottom of the South China Sea and carefully polished by the carving master. It has the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the spirit. Wearing it all year round is of great benefit to nourishing qi and can also better enter the state of cultivation. The starting price is three thousand taels of silver, and each increase is not less than one hundred taels!"

As Xie Zhang finished speaking, the second round of bidding began.

Tang Yan curled his lips. The purple heart jade is not as magical as Xie Zhang said. It is nothing more than a psychological effect. He crossed his legs and continued to wait for the next item.

As the auction items were taken out one by one, Tang Yan bought three more spiritual medicines.

Zi Yun was born in Zizhu City. She was the third lady of Zizhu City. She was used to seeing all kinds of treasures. These things were not in her eyes, so she never bid.

As time went by, the auction gradually came to an end.

"The next item is the finale of tonight's auction. I believe everyone must be interested in it." Xie Zhang stopped here.

"Master Xie, what is it!" Someone asked anxiously below.

Seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused, Xie Zhang said: "This item is a set of martial arts, called "Thousand Mountain Fist". After identification, this set of martial arts is a defective technique."

Hearing this, some people were slightly disappointed. Although martial arts are what every martial artist dreams of, if they are incomplete, not only will their power be greatly reduced, but they may also be unable to practice.

Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm has dropped significantly, Xie Zhang smiled and explained: "Although it is incomplete, fortunately, this set of martial arts is the opening part and can be practiced!"

Hearing this, the people who were originally a little disappointed, their eyes reappeared with expectations.

Tang Yan was eager to see if there were any reliable martial arts when he came here this time?

"Master Xie, what is the grade of this skill?"

"The final martial arts should at least reach the yellow grade, right?"

"..."

Seeing the heated discussion below, Xie Zhang no longer kept it a secret and said in a loud voice: "The Thousand Mountain Fist is very suitable for combat and has great power, but because the skill itself is incomplete, it only contains the moves of the first two punches.

Even so, it can still reach the level of the middle grade of the yellow grade!"

"Middle grade of the yellow grade!" Hearing Xie Zhang's words, everyone present breathed heavily.

In the whole Yuncheng, even the four major families of Yuncheng rarely have yellow-level martial arts. Some small and medium-sized families even have very few Yuan-level upper-grade martial arts.

This auction must be a fierce battle.

"Qianshan Fist, the base price is 100,000 taels of silver, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 taels! The auction begins!" Xie Zhang shouted loudly.

"Two hundred thousand taels!" At the beginning, the price doubled directly.
