"Young Master, please don't be angry. Grandma insisted that I tell you these words verbatim before I could say them..." Qinglin's delicate face was now genuinely showing her anxiety.
Upon hearing this, both Little Fairy Doctor and Mu Qingluan burst into laughter, their silvery laughter echoing throughout the room. Xiao Yan wasn't particularly angry about it, having spent some time with Mingmei and knowing her temperament. Mingmei was still somewhat dissatisfied with Qinglin's attitude towards him. Of course, this dissatisfaction had its limits; Mingmei wouldn't actually use any methods to influence Xiao Yan, but she was absolutely capable of verbally attacking him to vent her anger.
Xiao Yan wouldn't feel any resentment because of Qing Lin's treatment. If Qing Lin continued to improve at such a rapid pace, Xiao Yan would only be happy for her. Moreover, Xiao Yan understood that Ming Mei's earnest instructions to Qing Lin might not be a bad thing, but her attitude was anything but gentle.
At the center of the booth, Lin Xiuya was introducing the uses of the Spirit-Nourishing Powder. His explanation was essentially the same as Qing Lin's, and it had sparked considerable excitement among the audience. If Lin Xiuya hadn't finished his presentation, people would likely have already started bidding. Xiao Yan abandoned his hopes of getting a bargain; although there were three grains of Spirit-Nourishing Powder, acquiring them would be extremely difficult without significant investment.
The bidding for the Spirit-Nourishing Powder is bound to be fierce, and Xiao Yan will absolutely not back down. Even if it costs him a fortune, he will definitely buy one! After all, Ming Mei has already approved that there will be no problem with advancing to the eighth-grade alchemist. As long as Xiao Yan himself can advance to the eighth-grade alchemist, his competitiveness among the ancient clans will be even stronger! Xiao Yan will also be more confident about the resurrection of Yao Lao!
Lin Xiuya's description of the Spirit-Nourishing Powder was extremely detailed, leaving nothing out. He did this because his backer had specific requests. Such a valuable item as Spirit-Nourishing Powder had never appeared before. Any alchemist who obtained something capable of enhancing their soul's realm would likely immediately think of how to use it to boost their own soul power; very few would actually retain it. Moreover, Spirit-Nourishing Powder originated from ancient times and can no longer be produced; it can only be found in fragments among ancient artifacts.
Under his deliberate guidance, a remarkable bidding frenzy was ignited. Whether it was Xiao Yan, Hua Li of the Flower Sect, or representatives from other forces, everyone participated in the bidding! The busiest people in this bidding were Lin Xiuyai's staff; evaluating the value of each item was no easy task. Fortunately, a significant portion of Lin Xiuyai's team came from the behemoth that was the Pill Tower, so despite the trouble, they eventually completed the valuation.
After a full hour of bidding, all three grains of Spirit-Nourishing Powder finally found their owners. Xiao Yan had paid the price of three different pill formulas and three Earth-rank cultivation techniques to barely secure one of the three grains. Only when the last tiny, pale yellow grain of powder reached his hands did Xiao Yan finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although the cost was exorbitant, the Spirit-Nourishing Powder was crucial for Xiao Yan's advancement to an eighth-rank alchemist, and could not be taken lightly.
If he could truly advance to the eighth rank, Xiao Yan's chances of winning the Pill Gathering would be much higher. If he could absorb the Three Thousand Burning Flames, his strength would definitely see another boost! After the Pill Gathering, no matter what, Xiao Yan was determined to go to the Northwest Region to help Yao Lao rebuild his physical body. Yao Lao had done so much for him over the years, and Xiao Yan wanted to bring Yao Lao back as soon as possible!
As the bidding for the Spirit-Nourishing Powder ended, Ling Zhuo, the white-robed man on the other side, suddenly opened his eyes. He had extracted a palm-sized, emerald-green crystal and was clutching it tightly in his hand. Sensing the unusual aura in his hand, Ling Zhuo smiled with satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, the crystal was directly absorbed into his body.
Then, looking at Elder Yan, he asked, "Elder Yan, how is the situation?"
Old Man Yan looked out of the room with a hint of disdain: "A bunch of ignorant fools are fighting tooth and nail over a mere Spirit-Nourishing Powder."
"Hahaha, what a bunch of frogs in a well! Who could possibly know that this ancient cauldron is the most valuable item in this trade fair?" Ling Zhuo's tone was filled with undisguised arrogance.
Suddenly, Ling Zhuo seemed to realize something: "Wasn't that number sixty-six who was bidding against us just now Xiao Yan?"
Elder Yan nodded in agreement, as Xiao Yan's special status made him the only person he paid attention to. Ling Zhuo's eyes also revealed an expression of certainty: "It really is him. He probably figured out something after his contact with the ancient clans."
Elder Yan smiled and said, "It is said that the relationship between that little girl from the ancient clan and him is not simple. If that little girl knew that he gave the Source Spirit Crystal to the young master so easily, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood."
"Gu Xun'er of the ancient clan is just as narrow-minded! She actually chose such a person."
Ling Zhuo moved his hand and took the ancient cauldron in his grasp. Having extracted the most important element, the cauldron was now of little value. Ling Zhuo suddenly laughed, "After all, she's someone both Huo Xuan and Gu Xun'er value, so we should give her some face."
Not long after, on the other side, Xiao Yan, who was still looking at the auction items, also heard a knock on the door. When Qing Lin opened the door, she saw a maid from the Cliff Gang.
"The distinguished guest in room number three has something to present to Mr. Xiao Yan here," the maid said respectfully as she entered.
At this moment, Xiao Yan also frowned. He clearly remembered that he had never told the man in white his name, but he did not expect that the man in white would be so well-informed!
"What is it?"
The maid also took out a small wine pot and poured out a cup of mellow medicinal wine: "A message from the guest in room number three: a cup of wine to toast the son-in-law of the ancient clan."
At this moment, Xiao Yan's gaze turned to room number three. Unexpectedly, the white-robed man inside stepped out and raised his wine glass in Xiao Yan's direction, his playful gaze seemingly saying, "Do you dare to drink this?"
After Xiao Yan accepted the wine cup, the maid took out the ancient cauldron again and respectfully said, "That guest also said that regardless of whether you drink it or not, this ancient cauldron is his gift to you!"
