Because of the identity of the sexy lady, Du Guodong and the other three looked at each other and did not dare to refuse. They all nodded and sat down. Lu An also sat down, but he did not look at this woman again.
The sexy lady looked at the five of them and smiled. "My name is Xu Yunyan. I am a housekeeper of this auction. Indeed, logically speaking, I should not be here, so I will not keep you in suspense. I will directly state my purpose for coming. Since the five of you can buy this seventh-grade elixir recipe and take out this Black Water Diamond Elixir, it means that one of the five of you is a seventh-grade alchemist. "
Xu Yunyan paused and smiled. "Or, the five of you know a seventh-grade alchemist, am I right?"
Hearing this, the four of them trembled and looked at each other. Before coming, Lu An had told them that no matter what happened, they should not implicate him. Du Guodong took a deep breath and said to Xu Yunyan, "This … This is my own business. Moreover, I am only here to buy something. I don't think I need to tell you."
"Of course." Xu Yunyan smiled and said, "So I will not force you. However, after today, I am afraid that this ocean will spread that you are related to a seventh-grade alchemist. I am the one harassing you now, but if you don't tell me, more people will harass you. "
Hearing this, Du Guodong was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, if you are willing to tell me, I will protect you in the name of the Lonemoon Alliance. I will say that the seventh-grade alchemist you know is related to the Lonemoon Alliance. This way, naturally, no one will disturb you." Xu Yunyan smiled and said, "How about this deal?"
"This …" Du Guodong hesitated and looked at the others. However, he looked at Lu An from the corner of his eyes. After all, Lu An was the mastermind and he had to listen to Lu An.
Seeing that Du Guodong didn't look at him directly, Lu An felt a little relieved. Otherwise, he would have fallen into this woman's trap. He said, "Big Brother Du, the level seven pharmacist seems to have said that no one is allowed to disturb him, and you are not allowed to tell anyone about him."
Du Guodong was stunned. He looked at Lu An and then at Xu Yunyan. He nodded and said, "Yes, I can't tell anyone!"
Stupid!
Lu An's heart sank. Although he pretended that nothing had happened on the surface, his heart had completely sunk!
As expected, Xu Yunyan immediately looked at him. If Du Guodong could hesitate for a while after she said this, it would be right for him to pretend that he remembered this matter before talking to Xu Yunyan. As soon as he mentioned it, he immediately agreed. Although he had concealed it well, it was a complete failure at the last step, and he was completely exposed!
Xu Yunyan smiled and looked deeply at Lu An. After looking at him, she turned to Du Guodong and said, "In that case, I won't ask more. A level seven pharmacist has his own temper, so it's inconvenient for me to disturb him."
Hearing Xu Yunyan's words, Du Guodong was relieved. The other three were the same. Only Lu An looked calm, but his heart was frantically thinking about what to do next.
He didn't want to expose that he was a level seven pharmacist. It would be too eye-catching. He was afraid that more powerful people would notice him and expose his identity. Then, the people of the Chu and Jiang families would hunt him down!
Should he leave the Four Southern Seas? Or should he do something else?
On the other side, Xu Yunyan looked at Lu An, who was talking to the other four people. She was puzzled at first, but then she smiled. She had been doing things on Lone Moon Island for so long. She didn't believe that she had misjudged him.
Not long after, the appraiser came back from outside. He handed a ring to Xu Yunyan and said something to Xu Yunyan. Xu Yunyan nodded slightly, got up, and walked to Du Guodong. Du Guodong and the other four people also got up quickly.
"There are elixir recipes in this interspatial ring and a total of five sets of refining materials." Xu Yunyan said with a smile, "If you have more Black Water Vajra Pills in the future, you can sell them to us, including the Thousand Refined Snake Divine Pill. Our price will definitely satisfy you."
Du Guodong's mind was on the ring. He quickly nodded and took the ring. He said to Xu Yunyan, "In that case, we will leave first!"
"I won't see you out," Xu Yunyan said with a smile.
Soon, Du Guodong and the other four people left the auction house. In the pavilion of the auction house, Xu Yunyan watched the five people leave through the window. Her smile never disappeared.
"Supervisor Xu, do you need me to check on the five of them?" The appraiser asked.
"You don't have to check on all of them," Xu Yunyan said with a smile, "Just check on the youngest one."
The appraiser was stunned, but he still nodded and immediately gave the order.

Far Sea, Half Moon Island.
Lu An returned to the courtyard alone and didn't let the other four people come over. After all, the four of them had their own homes and Lu An needed some peace and quiet. The elixir recipes and materials were already in his hands. He returned to his residence and took out the elixir recipes and materials, placing them on the table. However, he only took a glance and fell into deep thought again.
Lu An sat on the chair and frowned slightly. He was wondering if he should leave. Initially, he wanted to leave, but if he left this place, he might encounter similar situations again. Unless he locked himself up, there would be a lot of trouble as long as he met people. That was unavoidable.
After taking a deep breath, Lu An didn't choose to leave in the end. He treated what was coming next as a training for himself. If he could overcome the obstacles one by one, he might be able to improve his realm. If he kept on running, even his state of mind would be affected.
After making the decision, Lu An didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he picked up the elixir recipes and read them. After reading for a while, Lu An understood that the Thousand Snake Refinement Elixir was an elixir that specialized in detoxification. Moreover, it used the method of fighting poison with poison. At least one-third of the materials used in the elixir recipes were highly toxic. The rest of the materials were concoctions for these poisons.
In other words, if there was a slight deviation in the combination of the materials, or if the temperature and timing were not grasped properly during the refinement, the elixir that was refined would not be a detoxification elixir, but a truly highly toxic one.
This was the difficulty of refining elixirs. If there was a slight deviation, it would be a completely different extreme. The difficulty of refining the Thousand Snake Refinement Elixir was much higher than the Black Water Vajra Elixir. Just the thickness of the elixir recipes was much thicker than the Black Water Vajra Elixir.
Lu An wasn't in a hurry to look at the materials. Instead, he focused on reading the elixir recipes. He needed to completely memorize every word in the elixir recipes. He couldn't leave out any details. After all, he didn't have time to look at the elixir recipes when refining elixirs. Just memorizing the elixir recipes would take a long time. Refining elixirs couldn't be rushed at all.
However, just as Lu An was reading the elixir recipes for about fifteen minutes, his brows suddenly furrowed. He raised his hand and closed the elixir recipes. He turned his head to look out the window.
Outside the window, the moon hung high in the sky. Under the bright moonlight, a graceful figure stood in the middle of the courtyard.
Lu An frowned and said, "Since you're here, come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person outside the door walked to the door. She pushed the door open and entered the house.
This person was none other than Xu Yunyan, who he had just separated from not long ago.
Xu Yunyan looked at Lu An and then at the elixir recipes on his table. She couldn't help but smile. She walked into the house and sat directly opposite Lu An.
"I didn't expect Young Master Lin to not hide from me." Xu Yunyan smiled like a flower. She looked at Lu An and teased him.
"I also didn't expect you to come so quickly." Lu An said softly, "The Lonemoon Alliance is really fast."
Hearing Lu An's words, Xu Yunyan smiled and said, "The Lonemoon Alliance manages this ocean after all. Naturally, they are more capable. However, it doesn't take much effort to investigate one person. Also …"
Xu Yunyan raised her brows and said, "Also, I feel that the name Lin Xiaoliu isn't your real name."
Lu An leaned back in his chair and asked calmly, "Why do you think so?"
"Any Level 6 Heavenly Master would have some pride in their hearts. Why would they use such a casual name?" Xu Yunyan smiled and said, "I can see that Young Master has an extraordinary temperament and is also a smart person. Although I haven't spoken to Young Master before, you have won my heart. Am I right?"
Looking at the confident Xu Yunyan, Lu An's expression remained calm without any change. This made the smile on Xu Yunyan's face gradually disappear.
"Did I guess wrong?" Xu Yunyan asked doubtfully.
"You guessed right." Lu An said.
Xu Yunyan frowned and her heart sank. This young man was harder to deal with than he looked.
Then, Xu Yunyan stopped joking and took a light breath. She looked at Lu An and said, "Since that's the case, I'll get to the point. I want to know, are you the Level 7 Heavenly Master who refined the Black Water Diamond Pill?"
