Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 695: Three Bottles of Elixir

Having left Asura Hall, indeed, Du Youyou obediently waited in the same spot.

"Let’s go," Xiao Yi said.

Xiao Yi planned to casually find an inn to stay in.

Du Youyou quickly spoke up, "The alchemy competition isn’t until tomorrow."

"The Royal Capital is so big, aren’t we going to wander around today?"

"What’s there to wander?" Xiao Yi shook his head.

Du Youyou pouted and said, "Xiao Yi, this is your first time in the Royal Capital, right? Don’t you want to have a look around?"

"Me, have a look around?" Xiao Yi found it amusing.

He knew that it was Du Youyou’s first time in the Royal Capital and that she wanted to have a look around.

He didn’t call her out on it, though, and simply nodded, "Alright then."

Du Youyou immediately beamed with happiness.

The two of them began to stroll around.

To be precise, it was Du Youyou strolling around everywhere, with Xiao Yi just following.

Before long, they arrived in front of a splendid and dazzling building.

"Golden Wind Trading Company," Du Youyou muttered to herself as she looked at the signboard on the building.

Then she exclaimed in surprise.

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, it’s the Golden Wind Trading Company!"

"I’ve heard about this trading company; it’s the biggest one in our Fengxu Kingdom."

Du Youyou excitedly pulled on Xiao Yi’s sleeve.

"I get it," Xiao Yi said helplessly, "You want to go in and have a look, right?"

"Uh-huh," Du Youyou nodded her head.

"Let’s go in then," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

The two entered and Xiao Yi took a casual glance around; it was no different from an ordinary trading company.

It just happened to be larger and more impressive, with more goods inside.

"Look, Xiao Yi, there are Sixth-grade rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Earth Origin Gold Fruit."

"And one of the rare materials, Fire Refining Snake Inner Core, Sky Blue Bamboo..."

Du Youyou spoke excitedly.

She drew the attention of everyone around.

"Shh," Xiao Yi said helplessly, "Don’t shout, or someone might throw you out."

"Oh," Du Youyou quickly covered her mouth.

Over the past month, Xiao Yi had often guided her in both her Martial Arts cultivation and her knowledge of alchemy.

Her alchemy stage had increased by a small tier.

And her knowledge of alchemy had enriched a lot, to the point where she could recognize many rare materials at a glance.

Just at this moment, a manager from the trading company came to the center of the establishment.

He announced loudly, "Honorable guests, the Golden Wind Trading Company’s monthly auction is about to commence."

"Anyone interested may proceed to the auction hall now."

Almost half of the guests in attendance headed towards the auction hall.

Du Youyou blinked her eyes and looked towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Let’s go."

The Golden Wind Trading Company was indeed huge; aside from the large trading hall in the front, there was an even larger auction hall at the back.

After Xiao Yi and Du Youyou arrived at the auction hall, they found that the place was already filled with guests.

There were no fewer than several thousand people.

Xiao Yi spotted several familiar faces sitting together in one section.

It was Prince Fenghua and Zhang Xinghuo and a few other alchemy talents from Fenghua County.

At the same time, Xiao Yi distinctly felt that over eighty percent of the guests emitted a faint alchemy aura.

This proved that most of the guests were Alchemists.

"So that’s how it is," Xiao Yi realized.

Tomorrow was the final round of the Fengxu alchemy competition.

The Royal Capital had already gathered Alchemists and alchemy talents from all over the Fengxu Kingdom.

This included Princes from various counties and some older Alchemists of sixth-grade and above.

The Golden Wind Trading Company was clever to host an auction today.

At that moment, Du Youyou tugged at Xiao Yi’s sleeve and said, "It’s all full here, what are we going to do?"

The seats around were already occupied.

"There’s nothing we can do about it," Xiao Yi shrugged, "Guess we’ll have to stand during the auction."

"Oh," Du Youyou obediently replied, standing still.

In the blink of an eye, she realized Xiao Yi had already turned and was walking away.

"Xiao Yi, where are you going? Don’t leave me behind," Du Youyou hurried to follow.

Xiao Yi chuckled and said, "You stand by yourself; I’m going to find a seat."

"Ah? Where are you going to find that?" Du Youyou asked, puzzled, "Xiao Yi, do you have connections at this trading company?"

Xiao Yi remained silent.

He returned to the main hall and approached the front desk, saying, "I’d like to auction some items."

Behind the counter was a young man who gave Xiao Yi a lukewarm glance.

"Auction? The auction has already started; it’s too late now."

"You should bring your items next time..."

The young man had not finished speaking.

Snap.

A jade bottle appeared on the counter.

"Sir, what is this?" The young man was startled and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"A Peak Seventh-grade Detoxification Pill, Perfect Level; it can cure any severe poison below the Eighth grade," Xiao Yi replied indifferently.

"What?" The young man was shocked, "A Peak Seventh-grade Detoxification Pill, and it’s Perfect Level?"

"Please wait a moment, sir."

The young man ran off in a flash.

Soon, the young man hurried back with an elder.

Upon arrival, the elder took a glance at Xiao Yi and, seeing just a young man, a hint of disappointment flashed across his face.

Then, he casually looked at the elixir on the counter.

Seconds later, his expression changed dramatically.

He looked at Xiao Yi with a gaze that turned from dismissiveness to gravity.

"Sir, did you refine this elixir?" The elder’s voice trembled slightly.

Xiao Yi did not answer but took out two more jade bottles.

The elder opened the bottles with a puzzled look and his expression changed drastically again.

"A Seventh-grade Peak Hidden Qi Pill, Perfect Level; once consumed by a martial artist, their presence will vanish; Peak Martial Artists below the Extreme Realm would absolutely fail to sense it."

"It can be a lifesaving treasure." freёnovelkiss-com

The elder opened the other bottle and his face changed dramatically in an instant.

"A Peak Seventh-grade Heaven Breaking Pill, Earth Element Peak Martial Artists consume it to increase the chance of advancing to the Heavenly Origin Realm by ten percent."

"This pill is Perfect Level, its effectiveness can increase to thirty percent."

"Sir... sir, these..." The elder looked at Xiao Yi in astonishment.

Xiao Yi said, "Three jade bottles, each containing five elixir pills, a total of fifteen."

"Do you, Golden Wind Trading Company, take these three potions?"

"Of course, we take them," the elder hastily replied.

Within a short while, Xiao Yi and Du Youyou were seated in the VIP seats at the auction.

Next to them were two maids waiting for orders.

In front of them were already laden with precious fruits, pastries, fine wine, and fragrant tea.

The auction had begun.

One item after another was auctioned, and the bidding was fierce each time.

Du Youyou was enjoying herself, even joining the bidding from time to time.

Xiao Yi was not interested in these ordinary items and simply closed his eyes to feign sleep.

After about half an hour,

A hint of petulance beside him made Xiao Yi open his eyes.

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Yi looked at Du Youyou, who was puffing up with frustration.

"Xiao Yi, no, Master, I saw an item I liked, but I don’t have enough money," Du Youyou said dejectedly.

"Oh?" Xiao Yi casually looked towards the auction stage.

There, there was a fruit intermingled with green and red.

"A Wind and Fire Elemental Fruit, a Peak Seventh-grade Heavenly Treasure," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

"This fruit is precisely compatible with your attribute; consuming it would greatly benefit you."

Just then, an arrogant voice rang out from outside.

"That guest in the VIP seat, what’s the matter? Can’t afford it?"

"Then, this Wind and Fire Elemental Fruit will belong to our Wind Dance Sword Sect, hahaha."

The speaker was a young man seated outside, judging from his attire, a disciple of the Wind Dance Sword Sect.

Xiao Yi casually looked at Du Youyou and said, "Just bid."

"Whatever he offers, you double it; keep doubling until he stops bidding."

"Ah?" Du Youyou pouted, "Master, I don’t have enough money..."

"I’ll provide it," Xiao Yi said indistinctly and closed his eyes to feign sleep again.

Third update.
