Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 479: Chapter 207: Getting the Cleanse Origin Pill Formula_2

Luo Chen couldn’t help but lift the corner of his mouth, afraid he would burst into laughter.

Wasn’t Huo Hu’s poor auctioning skill an opportunity for him to benefit?

”The next item to be auctioned is a Second Order Secret Technique called ’Cleanse Origin Pill Formula’.”

”This technique has a unique effect, it can resolve the aftermath of Pill Poison caused by excessive consumption of elixirs. Also, it has a certain effect on detoxifying poisons.”

”The only drawback is that it takes a long time to cultivate this technique.”

”The starting bid is three thousand Spirit Stones, and each increase must not be less than one hundred!”

Hearing Huo Hu’s voice, Luo Chen’s eyes lit up.

The three from The Great River District also tacitly turned their attention towards him.

However, Luo Chen didn’t bid immediately.

He was waiting!

”Three thousand one hundred Spirit Stones!”

Very soon, someone bid.

And it wasn’t just one person.

”Three thousand two!”

”Three thousand three!”

”Three thousand four!”

...

Voices of bids rose and fell constantly.

Every increase was not much, but there seemed to be no signs of stopping.

Luo Chen quickly dismissed his original hope of winning a low bid.

Exactly as expected!

Rogue Cultivators, because they excessively pursue the speed of cultivation, often choose to indiscriminately consume elixirs.

By the time they reach a high level, the aftermath of excessive elixir consumption starts to show.

At that point, for the sake of The Great Dao Path, some people would be willing to spend money to buy a Poison Expelling Technique or two, despite their huge downsides.

The bidding continued.

Very soon, it reached four thousand.

This price, for a non-primary Cultivation Technique or Technique other than defense and attack, could already be considered very high.

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators observing from The Great River District were also incredibly surprised.

In Li Family’s lounge...

Li Ao couldn’t help but say, ”If he learns this Poison Expelling Technique, can’t he freely use elixirs to speed up his cultivation?”

”Auntie, why don’t we buy it too!”

Li Yixian shook his head, ”It’s not that simple. Haven’t you heard, even Foundation Establishment True Cultivators said that this technique takes a lot of time? What you, Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators, lack the most is time. How can you waste it on a Secret Technique that holds no power at all?”

That made sense.

To save time and speed up cultivation, yet waste a lot of time, was a contradiction.

It would only make things more vexing.

Seeing that Li Ao realized his mistake, Li Yixian added:

”Moreover!”

”This is something friend Luo Chen specifically requested. It’s best not to compete with him.”

Li Ao curiously looked at the lounge of Luo Tian Creed.

”But, he has not bid once until now?”

Li Yixian was also somewhat puzzled.

After thinking for a bit, he hesitantly said: ”Maybe, he wants to secure the bid with one hammer strike!”

A similar discussion took place in the Nangong Family too.

However, Nangong Jin’s response was:

”We won’t participate in any auction. Prepare the Spirit Stones to bid for the thing we need the most!”

...

Is Luo Chen planning to secure the bid with one hammer strike?

That’s one consideration!

But primarily, he was observing the strength of the bidders.

”Each bidding increase rarely exceeds the range of five hundred Spirit Stones.”

”Indeed, those who need the Poison Expelling Technique are the ones who often consume Elixirs. Such entities, if they don’t have a stable source of wealth like me, are bound to be hard-pressed.”

”So, that makes things easy.”

Luo Chen does have some wealth.

After trading with Jingshi Pavilion, his total fortune once again went back to fifty thousand.

Moreover, the Luo Tian Creed’s account still had tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

For him, there really isn’t much pressure when it comes to a second order secret technique.

It’s just that he’s accustomed to spending every penny wisely.

His gaze landed in the direction of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

The sound of Huo Hu’s annoying auction calls reached his ears.

”Four thousand three hundred Spirit Stones once!”

”Twice...”

”Five thousand!”

A loud voice suddenly rang out.

Huo Hu glanced in Luo Chen’s direction.

Friend from Box No. 9 bids five thousand Spirit Stones, any more takers?”

The auction hall fell silent.

The sudden raise of seven hundred showed that the person didn’t care about the amount of Spirit Stones.

The Foundation Establishment True Cultivator who had been part of the bidding throughout was just about to win the Poison Expelling Technique.

But he didn’t expect someone to intervene suddenly.

He glared at Box No. 9 resentfully, a little uncertain.

He beckoned for the maid at the door.

”Elder Tu, how may I assist you?”

Tu Shan, suppressing his anger, asked in a low voice, ”Who is the person in that box?”

The maid was taken aback, and reflexively answered, ”We can’t disclose that...”

”I’m asking you, who is he!”

The maid shivered, ”He’s from Luo Tian Creed, the leader is Dan Chenzi, a Second Order Pill Refiner.”

Second Order Pill Refiner!

Tu Shan was stunned.

Immediately after, he sighed dejectedly.

Such a character, whose wealth was something he couldn’t match.

To continue competing would only be humiliating for himself.

He gave up on bidding.

”Second time for five thousand Spirit Stones!”

”Third time for five thousand Spirit Stones!”

”Sold!”

Without even offering congratulations, Huo Hu waved her hand, instructing someone to take the item to those in Box No.9.

This selling price made him somewhat dissatisfied.

The ’Cleanse Origin Pill Formula’ was a Second Order Secret Technique from Qingdan Valley, his senior brother had obtained it from the body of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator of Qingdan Valley.

He commissioned the sale.

And in the end, it sold at this price.

If Luo Chen knew what he was thinking, he’d probably exclaim.

To get a high price with your skill?

You would have to exaggerate the benefits of the technique, boast that it comes from a Golden Core Great Sect, suitable for clan inheritance, and that its shortcomings can be improved.
