Chapter 295

This pill was one of the eleven special pills he had obtained from the storage bag of the Moluo Sect disciple who carried the green-light armor; it seemed to have the effect of increasing blood energy. Later, he had obtained four more from the Moluo Sect inner disciple named Yun who used the Iron Cloud Bricks.

The lean man took the blood-red pill, sniffed it lightly under his nose, and used his fingernail to scrape a little powder from the surface of the pill, placing it in his mouth to taste it. He then said in surprise, "Blood-Burning Pill, a unique pill of the Moluo Sect. After taking it, one can increase blood energy or magic power for a short time by burning essence blood, but it will overdraw one's potential and lifespan. It is quite famous over in the Yu Nation."

"A pill for risking one's life? Can the Spirit Object Pavilion accept this kind of pill?" Wang Yu felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this, but he still asked the man.

He was someone who wanted to live for a thousand years; he had no desire to take this kind of pill that would destroy his future.

"How many does Nephew Wang have? If you sell them to the Spirit Object Pavilion, I can give one thousand spirit stones per pill," the middle-aged man replied indifferently.

"The price is this high?" Wang Yu was taken aback.

"The Blood-Burning Pill can temporarily increase blood energy or magic power by thirty percent; it is a life-saving item in critical moments. Moreover, it is said that the Blood-Burning Pill is refined from the essence blood of second-rank demon beasts. The Moluo Sect itself does not have enough, so they have never sold them to outsiders," the man explained briefly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu's original thought of taking out all the Blood-Burning Pills changed. After thinking for a moment, he took out ten medicine bottles from his storage bag, each containing one Blood-Burning Pill, while keeping five for himself.

"Very good. Does Nephew have any other good things you are willing to sell? I will settle the account for you all at once at the end," the middle-aged man asked with a slight smile after putting away everything on the table.

"This disciple has one more pill and two gourds of strange poisonous liquid here; I hope Uncle-Master can identify them," Wang Yu hesitated slightly before taking out a purple medicine bottle and two pale yellow gourds from his storage bag and placing them on the table.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man was quite interested. He first opened one gourd and sniffed it under his nose, but his expression changed slightly. He then took a pure white jade-like plate from his bosom and gently poured a drop of ink-green liquid into it.

"Sizzle!"

The moment the white plate touched the liquid, it turned directly into a wisp of curling green smoke, and at the same time, the plate instantly turned emerald green all over.

"Such a potent poison; it seems to be the body fluid of the second-rank demon insect, the Green-Backed Scorpion. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would find it very troublesome if contaminated, and it is very difficult to expel. However, this kind of poison is an auxiliary material for refining some special pills. If Nephew wishes to sell it, this pavilion is willing to purchase it for two thousand five hundred spirit stones per gourd," the middle-aged man said with a trace of solemnity after his eyes flashed with silver light while looking at the liquid in the plate.

Then, he picked up the small purple bottle and poured out a pitch-black pill, which had wisps of blood color and a touch of silver pill pattern on its surface.

This was precisely the unknown pill Wang Yu had picked up from the remains of the old monk in the high tower of the Jialan Secret Realm. The bottle containing this pill was made of soul silver, so it must be highly unusual and very likely a second-rank pill that could enhance cultivation.

"This is..."

The middle-aged man first took the black pill carelessly, but after only two glances, his expression suddenly changed. After smelling the pill, he carefully rubbed the surface of the pill with his fingers.

A scene that greatly surprised Wang Yu occurred.

Under the middle-aged man's rubbing, black powder began to fall off the surface of the black pill. In the blink of an eye, a pill that was deep blue all over, with a faint golden pill pattern on its surface, was revealed.

This pill was actually wrapped in a fake shell, and the true pill was inside.

"Second-rank top-grade pill!"

A moan-like sound, as if talking to himself, escaped the middle-aged man's mouth as he stared fixedly at the pill in his palm.

"A second-rank pill, and a top-grade one at that!"

Wang Yu was equally shocked.

One must know that the highest quality pill he had ever seen was only a first-rank top-grade Essence-Increasing Pill.

"Indeed, it is truly a second-rank top-grade pill, and it is the Water Cloud Pill, which is quite difficult to refine even among second-rank pills. This pill can increase the cultivation of cultivators with Water Spirit Roots. If it is a low-grade Water Cloud Pill, it can increase one year of cultivation; mid-grade can increase three years; top-grade can increase ten years. As for the top-grade Water Cloud Pill, in the last few hundred years, only a certain third-rank alchemy master from the Dan Ding Sect of the Feng Nation has occasionally refined one. It is said that this pill directly raised a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the early stage to the mid-stage," the middle-aged man murmured, looking at the snow-white pill in his hand as if he were on a pilgrimage.

"What, this pill can increase so much cultivation?" Wang Yu was dumbfounded.

"How can an ordinary pill compare to a top-grade pill? It is a spirit pill that only an alchemy master can refine, and each one requires the right time, place, and even a stroke of luck to be born," the man said to himself, not even looking at Wang Yu.

"Uncle-Master, is a top-grade pill really this exaggerated? Why would a top-grade pill be a spirit pill?" Wang Yu stared at the snow-white pill in the man's hand, listening to his exaggerated words, feeling somewhat skeptical.

"Because just like magical artifacts can develop spirituality, pills are the same. Once the quality is raised to top-grade, they also possess spirituality," the middle-aged man said slowly.

"Pills have spirituality?" Wang Yu blinked, feeling a bit doubtful in his heart.

Just then, the middle-aged man suddenly threw the blue pill in his hand into the plate that had already turned emerald green, then formed a seal with one hand and cast a spell onto the plate.

The next moment, with a "poof," a layer of hazy white light shield suddenly emerged on the green plate.

Almost at the same time, the snow-white pill that had fallen into the plate soared into the air, bumping around inside the light shield with a "pitter-patter" sound, just like a living creature.

Wang Yu immediately fell silent.

"It is worthy of being a top-grade pill; it is indeed full of spirituality!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man clapped his hands and laughed, but immediately remembered something, his smile faded, and he turned to ask Wang Yu:

"Nephew, are you willing to sell this top-grade pill? If you are willing, I will personally purchase this pill. As for the spirit stones, that is easy to discuss; feel free to name your price."

"I am sorry, Uncle-Master, I have no intention of selling this pill for the time being. But if I truly have the intention to sell, I will definitely notify you first, Uncle-Master," Wang Yu cupped his hands at the middle-aged man and said with an apologetic face.

It was obvious that the value of this top-grade Water Cloud Pill was far beyond imagination; he had to think carefully before deciding how to handle this item.

"Nephew Wang, you practice Fire Spirit techniques; your Water Spirit Root quality shouldn't be very high, right?" After the middle-aged man frowned, he suddenly asked this.

"This disciple's Fire Spirit Root grade is indeed the highest, and my Water Spirit Root is a bit worse. Could it be that I cannot consume this Water Cloud Pill?" Wang Yu heard the implication and hesitated somewhat.
