This time, Du Feng had really miscalculated. The current era was different from when the Alchemy Sovereign was still alive. Back then, the mountains and forests of the Four Great Continents had an abundance of medicinal herbs, and they were all of sufficient age. Other than the Alchemy Sovereign, there were still some alchemists who could refine supreme-grade Void Breaking Pills.
As long as they could obtain First Essence Heavy Water, the chances of refining a perfect-grade Void Breaking Pill were not small. At most, they would just waste more materials and fail a few times. Although the price was very expensive, it was not difficult for the Situ Family to afford it.
But it was different now. The environment was much more hungry than a thousand years ago. First of all, all kinds of spirit herbs and flowers had been harvested, and there were fewer and fewer good medicinal herbs. Even if there were, they were not of sufficient age. In addition, the First Essence Heavy Water was getting harder and harder to obtain. After a thousand years of growth, the flood dragons entrenched at the bottom of the North Sea had grown stronger. To get to the First Essence Heavy Water, one had to break through the heavy encirclement of the flood dragons.
Apart from the bottom of the North Sea, the Netherworld Sea also had First Essence Heavy Water. However, the sea monsters in the Netherworld Sea were extremely powerful. Even the Four Sovereigns did not dare to enter easily. Who would risk their lives for water? Now, the only way to get to the First Essence Heavy Water was through a mystic realm like the Land of the Buried Dragon.
The number of people who could enter a mystic realm was limited, and obtaining the First Essence Heavy Water in a mystic realm required great luck. After risking their lives to obtain the First Essence Heavy Water, most people would keep it for their own use. Very few martial artists would auction it.
Hehe. Seeing Situ Yaoyao's expression, Du Feng already knew what was going on. The price of a perfect-grade Barrier Breaking Pill would definitely be higher than he had imagined.
"How much is this pill for? Sell the bottle to me too."
As expected, Situ Yaoyao was a little anxious. She was anxious to buy it so that she could take credit for it to Big Sister. If Big Sister successfully broke through to the Void Sea Realm, her father would definitely reward her greatly. The Situ family had so many descendants, but only her father's branch had four daughters and no sons. Those uncles' families all had several sons. Because of this, their branch was not well received in the family. Fortunately, their father's Cultivation ability was strong, so no one dared to bully the four sisters.
If Situ Ranran was the first to break through to the Void Sea Realm among the younger generation, she would definitely attract the attention of the old ancestor. The benefits would naturally be self-evident.
"You're the appraiser. Of course, you're the one bidding."
Du Feng put the small porcelain bottle back into his pocket. He did not seem to be in a hurry to sell it. This was because he did not understand the current market situation. If he sold it at a low price, he would suffer a huge loss. Of course, none of this could be seen by Situ Yaoyao. He had a relaxed smile on his face as he crossed his legs and put on a cynical look.
"Cheapskate, why did Weiwei fall for you?"
Situ Yaoyao's tone had changed. Previously, she had heard that her third sister admired Du Feng and felt that he had some ability, so she wanted to snatch him from Situ Weiwei. Now that she saw that Du Feng wasn't just a little capable, but was actually really capable, she actually wanted to bring him and Situ Weiwei together.
"It's not important whether she likes me or not. What's important is how much you can pay.
"By the way, Weiwei is much more generous than you. I'm considering if I should bring this medicine back to the East Continent to sell."
Du Feng could see Situ Yaoyao's eagerness and refused to take out the medicine bottle again.
"Tsk, she can't afford it even if I bring it back. Are you selling it for 2,000 blue crystals?"
Du Feng's initial estimate was 1,000 blue crystals. Although the First Essence Heavy Water was precious, it only required a trace of it when refining medicine, not an entire bottle. Strictly speaking, it was even smaller than selling a single drop of the water. It seemed that resources were indeed in short supply. The price was 2,000 blue crystals right off the bat.
"2,000 blue crystals. I think it's better to directly participate in the auction."
Customers had two choices in the auction house. One was to sell it directly to the organizer, and the other was to entrust the auction. If they sold it directly to the organizer, the price would generally depend on the location, but the transaction would be effective on the spot. If they entrusted the auction, they might be able to get a very high price, but there was also a possibility that the medicine would be sold at the base price or simply not be auctioned.
"3,000, 3,000 blue crystals should be fine, right?"
Situ Yaoyao was also in a hurry to buy it. If such a rare medicine was really brought to the auction stage, there would be a lot of people who would move upon hearing the news. Their Situ family was rich, but they were not the only rich family in the four continents.
Furthermore, this was a perfect quality Void Breaking Pill, which could be used as a Heaven Breaking Pill. Those seniors who wanted to break through from the Void Sea Realm to the Heaven Seizing Realm would probably be interested. None of them lacked money, and the price would be unpredictable if they really started bidding.
"4,000!"
Directly selling for 3,000 was actually not a small amount. After all, the organizer had to be paid 30% of the profits, and the auction also had a certain amount of risk. However, Du Feng did not hesitate to increase the price by another 1,000. At the same time, he took out a small porcelain bottle and waved it in front of Situ Yaoyao.
"You …"
Situ Yaoyao gritted her teeth in anger, wishing that she could snatch it away. If it wasn't for the reputation of the Hongyu Merchant Union, she really wanted to let the hidden pavilion elder snatch it. This pavilion elder was in charge of the auction and would not easily make a move. If he encountered a demonic cultivator forcefully barging in, or a powerful Cultivation Realm martial artist reneging on the debt, he would have to trouble the old man to take action.
"Deal!"
Although she was angry, Situ Yaoyao still obediently took out a purple card. There was exactly 4,000 blue crystals in it. This card was the Hongyu Merchant Union VIP card that could be used in the Southern Continent. The discount was not as big as the one Situ Weiwei gave, but it was more applicable.
"By the way, prepare your own medicine bottle."
That medicine bottle was a special medicine bottle from the Pill Emperor Palace. Du Feng had taken back a few with great difficulty, so he definitely would not hand them over.
"You're so stingy, Weiwei is really blind."
It was very common to buy pills and give away medicine bottles, not to mention such expensive pills. Situ Yaoyao could tell that Du Feng really did not want to give it away, so she could only take out a medicine bottle. Her medicine bottle was also specially made, and ordinary medicine bottles were unable to completely lock in the medicinal properties.
"Mm, good bottle."
Du Feng took her medicine bottle and performed a hand seal. The Void Breaching Pill in his small porcelain bottle went into the other party's medicine bottle.
After Situ Yaoyao took it, she was still a little worried, so she sent her divine sense into the medicine bottle to check it. After confirming that it was a perfect-grade Void Breaching Pill, she kept it in her storage ring.
