Lu Ye walked around the Scattered Market, but he did not see An Zhe at his previous stall. Instead, there was a cultivator he did not know, and he was selling things that Lu Ye did not need.
As expected, An Zhe was not back yet.
Lu Ye could only buy fire-attribute treasures, which cost him a few million spirit jades.
It was still early, and he had nowhere to go. He pondered for a moment, then continued to wander around the Scattered Market.
Compared to the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce, Lu Ye preferred to come to places like this, but he did not know why.
Just as he was looking around, he heard a small voice, "Fellow Daoist, do you need spirit pills?"
Lu Ye followed the voice and saw a woman sitting in front of a stall. Her face was slightly red, and she pursed her lips, as if she had mustered up her courage to ask him.
Lu Ye glanced at her and saw a dozen jade bottles on the stall in front of her. They were probably filled with all kinds of spirit pills.
Why would he need any spirit pills? Recently, he had been suppressing his cultivation and did not actively cultivate. He was afraid that his cultivation would rise too quickly and affect his foundation.
He did not want to pay attention to her, but when he met her eyes, he could not help but squat down.
There was nothing special about her eyes, but it reminded him of his predicament when he first came to the Myriad Elephant Island. He could tell that this woman did not have a good background, or else she would not have set up a stall here to sell spirit pills.
It was not easy to sell such things in the Scattered Market. After all, they had to be ingested. Ordinary cultivators would go directly to the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce or the shops on other Spiritual Islands to buy spirit pills. It was difficult for this woman to gain the trust of others by selling spirit pills here. If she bought a low-quality spirit pill and consumed it in a battle, it would be easy to cause trouble.
There were more than a dozen jade bottles, all of which were labelled with the name of each pill.
Seeing Lu Ye squat down, the woman quickly adjusted her expression and said, "Fellow Daoist, take a look at what you want. I have ordinary spirit pills here."
Lu Ye picked up a bottle of Spirit Recovery Pills. These were the most common spirit pills used by Constellation cultivators to replenish their spirit energy and cultivate. They were in high demand, and almost everyone needed them. They were also the most basic spirit pills in the Constellation Realm.
"Are you a medical cultivator?" Lu Ye asked casually, mainly because he felt a familiar aura from the woman. It was very gentle, as if as long as he was by her side, he would be able to relax. Shui Yuan and Hua Ci both had such auras.
Lu Ye also smelled a faint fragrance. It was the smell of flowers, but he couldn't tell what kind of flowers they were.
"Yes." The woman nodded.
"It's not easy for you either!"
Generally speaking, medical cultivators roamed the starry sky with companions. After all, relatively speaking, medical cultivators didn't have many means to deal with danger, so it was very easy for them to encounter danger.
It was rare to see someone like this woman who was all alone.
The woman tilted her head and looked at him, clearly not understanding what he meant.
"How much?" Lu Ye asked.
The woman quoted a price.
Lu Ye raised his eyes to look at her. "Your price is even higher than Vientiane Chamber of Commerce's."
No wonder no one was interested in the woman's stall. She was selling Spirit Pills, and the price was very expensive. It would be strange if someone would buy it.
The woman explained, "The quality of the pills I refine is very good. If you don't believe me, just buy a bottle and you'll know."
Lu Ye said, "If I buy them and the quality isn't good, can I still ask you for a refund?"
The woman's expression became serious. "The quality is absolutely guaranteed. I refined them myself, so I know."
'So what if you know!' Lu Ye cursed in his heart. This woman's personality wasn't suitable for doing business here. She was far worse than An Zhe.
"I'll take all of them." Lu Ye put down the jade bottle in his hand.
"Huh?" The woman was stunned.
"I said, how many Spirit Pills do you have? I'll take all of them!" Lu Ye looked at her. It wasn't easy to be alone outside. He thought about how sad it would be if his second senior sister or Hua Ci set up a stall here but no one showed any interest.
However, his second senior sister and Hua Ci weren't ordinary medical cultivators, so they most likely wouldn't do such a thing.
The woman came to her senses and was overjoyed. "Is what you said true?" She had set up a stall here for several days, but the number of Spirit Pills she sold could be counted on one hand. When people passed by here, they didn't stop at all. She didn't expect that someone would buy all of them.
"If you think I'm lying to you, I'll leave right now!"
"Don't go, don't go!" The woman said as she hurriedly took out bottle after bottle of Spirit Pills from her storage ring.
She didn't stop until she took out more than thirty bottles. She looked at Lu Ye cautiously. "Brother, isn't this too much?"
"Calculate the bill!" Lu Ye urged.
The woman happily calculated the bill. In the end, she gave Lu Ye a number, which was less than three thousand Spirit Jades. Lu Ye paid her without hesitation.
He put away all the Spirit Pills. As he left, the woman kept thanking him.
After walking for a while, he took out a bottle of Spirit Recovery Pills and threw one into his mouth. Then, he observed the Talent Tree's reaction.
Other cultivators didn't dare to take Spirit Pills casually, but Lu Ye didn't care. With the Talent Tree, even if there was something wrong with the Spirit Pill, it wouldn't cause any harm to him.
A moment later, Lu Ye revealed a surprised expression. Although the woman had vowed that the quality of the Spirit Pills she refined was better than the ones sold by the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce, there was no proof. Even if a cultivator swallowed these Spirit Pills, it would be difficult to tell the difference.
However, Lu Ye was different. By observing the changes in the Talent Tree, he could directly see the quality of the Spirit Pills.
The more impurities there were, the worse the quality, and vice versa.
At this moment, the Talent Tree's reaction was very slight. Just as the woman had said, the quality of the Spirit Pills she refined was very good.
Lu Ye looked back, but the woman had already disappeared. He guessed that she had left after selling all the Spirit Pills.
Lu Ye felt it was a bit strange. With such Alchemy skills, the woman could easily join a force and become their exclusive Alchemist. She wouldn't have to work so hard to set up a stall here.
Even the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce wouldn't refuse such a talent.
However, she would rather work hard and set up her stall than join a force. Lu Ye guessed that the woman didn't like to be tied down.
After strolling around the market for a while, Lu Ye headed towards the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce.
In less than half a day, the auction would begin. At this moment, it was time for the participating cultivators to enter.
The entrance was inside the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce. Many cultivators were waiting in line to enter, but Lu Ye directly went in another direction.
There was another entrance. When Lu Ye arrived, he took out the D9 token he had obtained during the capital verification. Someone immediately respectfully took it and led him inside.
Cao Xiang had told him that the minimum requirement for the capital verification was 100,000 Spirit Jades. In other words, only 100,000 Spirit Jades could qualify to participate in the auction. Of course, if he wanted to get better treatment, he would have to show more capital.
Lu Ye had shown 10 million Spirit Jades, so his treatment was indeed different from ordinary cultivators.
Under the guidance of the cultivator, he soon arrived at a room with the words D9 on it.
The Chamber of Commerce cultivator stood at the door and gestured with his hand, "Honored guest, please come in. When the auction starts, if there's anything you like, you only need to bid inside. You'll be able to see it from the outside. If you win the auction, we'll be responsible for delivering it to you."
Lu Ye nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
After entering room D9, Lu Ye immediately saw a huge transparent mirror. He didn't know what it was made of. Standing in front of the mirror, he could overlook the entire auction venue. It was an excellent view.
Looking around, there were many rooms similar to his. However, from this angle, the mirror was filled with mist, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
Lu Ye tried to use his Divine Sense, but it was still blocked.
He was sure that they were looking at him in the same way.
The room's furnishings were very simple. There was only a huge chair and a round table next to it. There were several plates of fresh Spirit Fruits on the table. In addition, there was also a jug of fine wine.
On the armrest of the chair, there was a protruding object. Lu Ye sat on the chair and studied it for a moment. He knew that this object was used to bid during the auction.
At this moment, a large number of cultivators were entering the auction venue one after another. They were looking for seats based on the tokens they had obtained. There were also cultivators from the Chamber of Commerce standing around to guide them.
Therefore, although there were many people entering the auction venue, there was no chaos at all. Everything was done in an orderly manner.
There was still a while before the auction began. Lu Ye sat on the chair and casually picked up a Spirit Fruit and took a bite. He didn't know what Spirit Fruit it was, but it was very sweet and contained good Spirit Qi. He could refine it into his own Spirit Qi.
By the time Lu Ye had eaten most of the Spirit Fruits, the auction venue was already filled with people.
This was the result after the verification of the Spirit Stones. One could imagine how lively the scene would be if the verification of the Spirit Stones had not been carried out.
Lu Ye roughly estimated that there were at least three thousand cultivators participating in the auction this time.
In the vast Wanxiang Sea, there were still many rich cultivators. Of course, most of them were still struggling at the bottom.
At a certain moment, the originally bright auction venue suddenly darkened. Then, a beam of light shone in from somewhere and hit the high platform at the front.
When the beam of light lit up, an old man with white hair and a beard had appeared at that position.
His eyebrows were lowered and his hands were tucked into his sleeves. He stood there in a relaxed manner, but the powerful aura emanating from his body indicated that he was a genuine Yue Yao. Moreover, he was a late-stage Yue Yao cultivator!
The originally noisy auction venue suddenly fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on the old man.
The old man spoke slowly. His voice was not loud, but it rang in everyone's ears. "I am Yu Xiuzhai, the ninth steward of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce. I will be hosting this auction."
