In Tiancang Continent, top-grade elixirs are rare, especially the eighth-grade elixir such as Taixu Qingyang Pill, which is even rarer.
The city lord believes that as long as Gu Qingxi agrees to the auction, these nine Taixu Qingyang Pills will surely make all the cultivators present crazy. And it would be a great honor for him to host the auction.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord City Lord." Gu Qingxi nodded and handed the nine Taixu Qingyang Pills to the city lord.
Others hosted this competition, and they contributed both manpower and effort, so they should be given some benefits. Anyway, she didn't care much about these pills, so why not do a favor.
Besides, the Tianjun who founded Qingyuan City had met her several times in the past, and for his sake, Gu Qingxi couldn't refuse.
Seeing that Gu Qingxi had no objection, Jiang Qiulin and others also took out the Taixu Qingyang Pills they had made by hand.
Next, the city lord personally hosted the auction.
As he expected, Jiang Qiulin and others' Taixu Qingyang Pills had not caused much commotion, but as soon as Gu Qingxi's Taixu Qingyang Pills appeared, the stands immediately exploded.
One by one, the immortal sect cultivators competed to bid, and even the medical practitioners were no exception. With more people participating in the competition, the auction price naturally rose higher and higher.
The city lord then thought of one thing. This kind of Taixu Qingyang Pills with nine pills in one furnace, and all of them were top-grade, was not only very beneficial for cultivation, but also very helpful for the medical practitioners to comprehend the alchemy and medical skills.
If you are lucky, you may be able to break through the bottleneck and make further progress.
Therefore, these medical practitioners are more tempted, even if they break their heads, they want to take a Taixu Qingyang Pill refined by Gu Qingxi back.
But now it's too late to think about it. Seeing that the atmosphere on the field is getting more and more heated, the city lord guessed that if he dared to stop the auction, he might be bitten to death by these medical practitioners, so he could only bite the bullet and continue the auction.
Why bite to death? Medical practitioners are weaklings. There are probably only three violent medical practitioners like Gu Qingxi, Jiang Qiulin, and Jiang Haoning in the whole continent. Can other medical practitioners kill people without biting?
As the number of Taixu Qingyang Pills in the hands of the city lord became less and less, not only the immortals, but also the demons began to bid.
In order to compete for a pill, two demons fought on the spot. If the city lord had not revealed his identity as a descendant of the Heavenly Monarch in time, it would have almost caused a bloodbath between demons.
When it came to the last Taixu Qingyang Pill, two demons rushed directly to Gu Qingxi and begged her to take back the pill and sell it to them.
One said that he had been seriously injured in his early years and could only be cured by regulating his meridians with Taixu Qingyang Pills, otherwise he would die.
And in order to have today's cultivation, he didn't know how much experience and self-harm he had gone through. Seeing that he was about to break through the bottleneck, of course he was unwilling to die like this, and begged Gu Qingxi to save his life. Thinking of the suffering he had endured over the years, he was about to cry.
Another one was even more miserable, saying that as a medical practitioner, he had reached the end of his life because he had been unable to break through the bottleneck.
Unfortunately, his father died early, and he had a mother who was over a thousand years old and a younger brother who was crying for food. If he died, who would take care of his mother and younger brother?
He spoke so movingly that even Gu Qingxi couldn't help but be moved.
But then he thought about it again and felt it was not good: his mother was over a thousand years old, and his father died early, so how did that younger brother who was crying for food come into being? I didn't hear him say he had a stepfather. It seemed that the details of this lie were not well completed.
So, Gu Qingxi simply kicked this demon cultivator out of the trial platform.
"Don't your demon doctors also have Taixu Qingyang Pills? Why don't you buy them from them?" Then, Gu Qingxi asked the remaining demon cultivator in confusion.
Judging from the aura faintly revealed from him, it is obvious that he is not a demon doctor, so naturally he does not need her pills to comprehend the way of alchemy and find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
If it is just for regulating the meridians, the Taixu Qingyang Pills made by the demon doctor are the same. If
you think the pill is not strong enough, just take a few more. There is no need to spend a high price to compete with the immortal medical practitioners. "Master Gu, after seeing your alchemy skills, do you really think that I can still eat the pills made in that way?" The demon cultivator said, making a gesture of rubbing mud on his chest, with a very sad expression.
"..." Gu Qingxi was speechless.
Yes, demon cultivators are also human beings. In the past, there was no better choice. No matter what kind of pills they took, they could only swallow them with gritted teeth, just like the cultivators in the Yuanzhen Continent swallowed the bigu pills with the smell of feet for generations.
But now that there is a better choice, who can swallow the pills made from chest hair?
Gu Qingxi completely understands the mood of this demon cultivator.
However, in order to prevent the city lord from being bitten to death, she finally did not take back the Taixu Qingyang Pill.
Fortunately, the demon cultivator was wealthy, and after a fierce bidding, he got the Taixu Qingyang Pill as he wished.
Looking at his back as he left happily, Gu Qingxi couldn't help but sigh secretly: Who said that demon cultivators only know how to fight and kill? Isn't this a demon cultivator with taste, ideals, and pursuits?
The auction finally ended, but the cultivators refused to leave. They surrounded Gu Qingxi around the trial platform and asked her to help refine the pill.
This is understandable. Although there is still a True Pill Alliance in Tiancang Continent that can refine pills, there are too few people who have the talent and perseverance to practice alchemy, and there are even fewer people whose alchemy skills can be compared with Gu Qingxi.
So most of the time, the cultivators can only buy pills from the Renxin Alliance.
Even if the medical practitioners of the Benevolent Alliance did not have the problem of rubbing the pills in their chest hair, but rubbed the pills with their hands, who knows whether those medical practitioners, who are busy studying medical skills all day long, have the good habit of washing their hands before meals?
Uh... I can't think about this question. If I think too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat any pills in the future.
The trial dojo was full of people. The monks wrapped themselves in layers like dumplings, surrounding Gu Qingxi in the middle, begging bitterly.
Since ancient times, water and fire have been incompatible. The immortal monks and demon cultivators who wanted to stab each other in the back at the first opportunity also reached a consensus and united for the first time in their lives.
Gu Qingxi deeply understood their feelings.
If it were before, she wouldn't mind satisfying their wishes, but now she couldn't. She was concentrating on tempering her spiritual roots, so how could she have the spare time to help them make pills.
After much persuasion and promising to help them make pills when she was free in the future, Gu Qingxi finally appeased everyone.
"Master Gu, there are many cultivators gathered outside the trial arena. Just in case, why don't you follow me to the City Lord's Mansion to rest for a while." Watching the crowd gradually disperse, the City Lord wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Gu Qingxi with lingering fear.
The scene just now really scared him. If these cultivators rushed forward, even if Gu Qingxi was a good fighter, she would probably be crushed to death by them.
He was the one who proposed the auction of the elixir. If Gu Qingxi met with an accident because of it, he would regret it for the rest of his life. No, he was standing next to Gu Qingxi. If Gu Qingxi was crushed to death, he would have no chance to regret it.
