Chapter 289: Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill
In fact, even without Yao Lao's reminder, Xiao Yan would have auctioned for this Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill. Not to mention the pill's own effects, Xiao Yan also desperately wanted the dragon qi contained within it.
Once he had this wisp of dragon qi, the power of Xiao Yan's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms would reach a higher level, becoming a Dou Technique containing soul attacks.
"Everyone, this is the main event of our auction house: the Grade 7 medicinal pill, the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill!"
Wow!
The moment the auctioneer finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent, followed by a deafening uproar and the sound of gasps.
Crimson eyes, accompanied by rapid breathing, stared fixedly at the golden pill.
A Grade 7 medicinal pill—most of the people present had never seen one in their entire lives.
After a short while, an old man walked in with a smiling face, looked at Xiao Yan, and said: "Sir is generous; it is truly enviable! I am the person in charge here; you can just call me Manager Hu!"
"Break and then stand?" The people at the auction house suddenly showed confused expressions.
"Stop talking nonsense; just tell me what to do!" Xiao Yan knew that Yao Lao must be unsettled upon hearing the name Han Feng, so he didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Sir only needs to come and fulfill the promise when the Medicine Emperor issues a summons." Seeing Xiao Yan's impatience, Manager Hu hurriedly squeezed a smile onto his face and said.
"30 million!" Xiao Yan shouted without a care.
Hearing this, the hall fell into a deathly silence. Just how rich was he! And looking at this posture, if anyone else dared to bid, it would definitely soar to 60 million.
"12 million!" Although Mo Erhan knew that the pill would likely end up in Xiao Yan's pocket, he still wanted to try.
"Heh heh, alright! However, this Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is different from others; whoever auctions for it must unconditionally help the seller do two things. Of course, these things will definitely be within everyone's capabilities!" The auctioneer smiled lightly.
"Hurry up and auction it!" Under the auctioneer's deliberate buildup, the atmosphere in the venue had reached its peak; everyone couldn't help but want to auction for this pill.
"15 million!" The people from the Heaven Snake Mansion also had plenty of gold coins and reported their price.
"The person auctioning this Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is the Medicine Emperor Han Feng. He is not only the third-ranked expert on the Black List but also a Grade 6 Alchemist. Offending a Grade 6 Alchemist is not a wise decision." Manager Hu said with a faint smile.
"It is said that when this pill was refined, heaven manifested strange phenomena. Two dragon souls, one yin and one yang, rushed straight into the clouds from the cauldron, intertwined, and finally condensed into the pill body. The effect of the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is not to directly increase one's strength, but to break and then stand..." The auctioneer introduced the pill tirelessly, subconsciously swallowing his saliva; clearly, he was also very greedy for such a heaven-defying pill.
Seeing that the conditions he proposed did not dampen the enthusiasm of these people, the auctioneer smiled and said: "This Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill has no starting price; the auction begins now!"
"Xiong Ba!" Xiao Yan nodded and reported his fake name.
However, looking at Xiao Yan's spendthrift manner, Manager Hu actually believed him a little.
The people from the Heaven Snake Mansion and the Black Skeleton glanced at Xiao Yan. Although this pill was good, it clearly wasn't worth 30 million plus two promises, so they had to give up.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving!" Xiao Yan took the purple gold card and said.
Manager Hu took the purple gold card, deducted the money required for the auction, and then respectfully handed the card to Xiao Yan.
The moment Manager Hu mentioned the name Han Feng, the pitch-black storage ring suddenly trembled, but it returned to calm after a while.
"Heh heh, perhaps many people have never heard of this pill's reputation. The Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is ranked Grade 7. It is said that to refine this pill, one first needs the monster cores of two dragon-type magical beasts that have been dead for no more than seven days, and the monster cores must be at least Rank 6..." The auctioneer introduced it with a smile.
Xiao Yan took the storage ring and checked it, finding that everything was there. He directly flicked his finger, took out a purple gold card, threw it to Manager Hu, and said: "Deduct the proceeds from the Life-Extending Pill auction, and deduct the rest directly from this card!"
Fan Ling looked at the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill on the crystal platform and was anxious, but he was now a pauper and didn't even have the qualifications to bid, so he could only glare at Xiao Yan, the killing intent in his eyes undisguised.
"Xiong Ba?" Upon hearing this name, Manager Hu was suddenly shocked. He remembered what Duo Ma, who delivered goods to their auction house, had told him, but at the time, he thought Duo Ma was joking and didn't believe it. After all, the black bandits known as Ghost Shadow were feared even by their Eight Fan Sect; how could they be wiped out by one person?
"These are all the items you auctioned; they are all in this storage ring." Manager Hu took a storage ring from the tray held by the maid behind him and respectfully handed it to Xiao Yan.
"Heh heh, there is indeed one more thing: the two promises attached to the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill you auctioned earlier. The auctioneer must have explained this clearly to you, right?" Manager Hu said with a fawning smile.
"Oh? Speaking of this, I have a question: if I auction for the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill and just run away, wouldn't I not have to fulfill the promises?" Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
After Xiao Yan auctioned for the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, he followed a maid to a guest room.
Once a pill exceeds Grade 7, its effects become incredibly powerful. The Green Underworld Longevity Pill Xiao Yan refined previously pulled a dying Hai Bodong back from the gates of hell, not only raising his strength to a higher level but also being equivalent to a rebirth.
The moment the auctioneer finished speaking, the auction house fell into silence. A Rank 6 magical beast was equivalent to a human Dou Huang; two of them meant two Dou Huangs.
Upon hearing that they also had to help the seller do two things, the crowd hesitated slightly before being buried by the greed in their hearts again.
The auctioneer naturally saw the confusion in everyone's eyes, smiled, and continued: "Everyone might not understand 'break and then stand', but I think everyone must have heard of the famous Wind Venerable, right? Wind Venerable was seriously injured while fighting a nemesis and was on the verge of death. Even if he had survived by luck, his strength would have been greatly reduced, but it was precisely because he consumed the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill that he broke through from Dou Zong to Dou Zun in less than seven years!!!"
"10 million!" Xiao Yan shouted directly, instantly causing most people to lose their qualifications to bid. These people stared at Xiao Yan with unkind expressions, but Xiao Yan didn't even put the Blood Sect's Young Sect Master in his eyes, so how could he care about their threats?
"Understood!" Xiao Yan nodded, walked directly out of the guest room, left the auction house, and headed toward the city gate.
Not long after Xiao Yan left, a burly middle-aged man appeared in the guest room where Xiao Yan had just been, narrowed his eyes, and asked Manager Hu: "Have you found out his background?"
