Yan Changpu looked at Ruan Xiyan, who was standing there.
He rushed forward, his hands trembling as he held up the bottle of pills. "These pills are yours?"
Ruan Xiyan nodded.
"Young friend, please come in. Let's go inside and discuss the details. The auction is all easy to handle; leave it to me."
Yan Changpu had a kind and benevolent look on his face, and his smile was so warm and friendly that it stunned the guards standing beside him.
Old Master Yan is usually a serious and unsmiling man, so it's surprising to see him being so friendly to someone, with such a bright smile.
This is truly something I've never seen before!
Ruan Xiyan followed the old man into Mingyue Tower.
The woman in yellow was already terrified, standing there blankly, her face turning deathly pale.
Although she couldn't access the core of Mingyue Tower due to her status, the respectful attitude of the guards showed that the old man must have a very high position in Mingyue Tower.
Moreover, no items will be collected on the day of the auction, which is the usual practice for auctions.
But today, this rule has been broken for that woman, something that has never happened before.
She now wants to slap herself for being so sarcastic, for showing off her superiority in front of someone who is truly capable. Fortunately, that person didn't take it to heart.
But now her legs were trembling, and she dared not go to the auction again, for fear that Ruan Xiyan would come to her senses and settle scores with her later.
The woman in yellow hurriedly left, even giving up the hard-earned qualification to participate in the auction.
At Mingyue Tower, Ruan Xiyan followed the old man to the back courtyard, a place not just anyone could come to.
Ruan Xiyan's eyes showed a thoughtful expression; this old man's identity must be extraordinary.
I heard that the Alchemist Guild was involved in this auction. Could it be that this old man has a connection with the Alchemist Guild?
The two sat down in a room, and Yan Changpu introduced himself first, "My name is Yan Changpu, young friend, you can call me Elder Yan. I don't know how to address you, young friend?"
"My name is Ling Xi."
"Young friend Ling Xi, may I ask who made the Grade 5 Ice Heart Pill in the bottle?" Yan Changpu inquired.
"Elder Yan, this Ice Heart Pill was refined by me."
She could actually produce even higher-grade pills, but it would be unnecessary and counterproductive to expose her trump card just to earn spirit stones as quickly as possible.
Moreover, she was unfamiliar with the cultivation world and had no foundation of her own when she arrived.
Always keep some trump cards up your sleeve; that way you can go further in the future.
"What!" Yan Changpu exclaimed in surprise.
The girl in front of me was wearing a mask and had deliberately disguised her voice, clearly not wanting to reveal her true identity.
However, having seen countless people, he could tell from her bone age that this young woman was not very old, at most in her early twenties.
I thought the Ice Heart Pill she took out was made by an elder behind her, after all, given her age, even if she were an alchemist.
It would be impossible to refine a fifth-grade pill, let alone a pill with pill patterns!
But she never expected that she would have personally refined this Ice Heart Pill.
When did such a young alchemist appear on the cultivation continent?
Yan Changpu realized he had lost his composure and sat up straight again. "I apologize, young friend Ling Xi. This is the first time I've seen such a talented young person with such exceptional alchemy skills. I was a little excited and lost my composure. Please forgive me."
Ruan Xiyan waved her hand, "It's alright."
"Elder Yan, I would like to auction this Ice Heart Pill. Is that possible?"
The Ice Heart Pill can help people calm their minds and break through bottlenecks when they are about to break through, making it an excellent elixir for breakthroughs.
“Of course,” Yan Changpu said. “I can also make the decision to make Ling Xi’s Ice Heart Pill the final item of this auction.”
"Then thank you very much, Elder Yan," Ruan Xiyan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
It was already difficult enough to insert the pills she was selling into the auction at the last minute, but I never expected that they would be the grand finale.
Old Master Yan's actions were tantamount to doing Ruan Xiyan a favor.
Of course, this is all on the premise that the Ice Heart Pill that Ruan Xiyan brings out is good enough to be the grand finale.
If what you offer is of poor quality, no amount of talking will help, and you won't be able to accept the favor.
"Young friend Ling Xi, you're too kind." Yan Changpu looked at Ruan Xiyan with a friendly smile. "May I ask where your teacher is, young friend Ling Xi? May I meet your teacher?"
As a seventh-grade alchemist, he has studied alchemy for many years, but so far he can only refine two or three pill patterns at most.
Although this pill is only of the fifth grade, it has six pill patterns.
Since young friend Ling Xi is such a young genius, then her master must be a very powerful alchemist.
If they could exchange skills in alchemy, his alchemy techniques might reach a higher level.
“My master is a wandering cultivator who travels the world, and I can’t find any trace of him,” Ruan Xiyan replied.
"That's such a pity," Yan Changpu said regretfully.
"Young friend Ling Xi, you are able to refine a fifth-grade pill with six pill patterns at such a young age. Your future is bound to be limitless."
"To be honest, I am the branch president of the Eastern District Alchemist Guild, the person in charge of the entire Eastern District Alchemist Guild."
"Young friend, would you be willing to join my Alchemist Branch? With your talent, if you join, I will certainly do my best to train you." Yan Changpu looked at Ruan Xiyan expectantly.
Ruan Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Yan, but I love freedom and don't like being restrained. Besides, I have my own things to do and have no plans to join the Alchemist Branch for the time being."
Hearing Ruan Xiyan's refusal, Yan Changpu was not angry, but felt regretful.
However, Ling Xi did not rule out the possibility of joining, only saying that she had no plans to join for the time being.
Thinking of this, Yan Changpu pressed on, saying, "If young friend Ling Xi wants to join the Alchemist Association after she has finished dealing with her affairs..."
"You must come to our East District Alchemist Branch. I'm always waiting for you, young friend Ling Xi."
Alchemist branches exist in all four regions of the mainland: east, west, south, and north.
He happened to be free and came to take a look at the auction held in Huaiyang City. Unexpectedly, he was pleasantly surprised to meet a young and outstanding alchemy genius.
He didn't want the talent he had his eye on to be snatched up by alchemist guilds from other regions, so it was best to secure it first.
“Young friend Ling Xi, this is a token from our Eastern District Alchemist Branch. With this token, you can go to the Eastern District Alchemist Branch and see me directly without any hindrance.”
Ruan Xiyan accepted the token. "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Yan. I will remember it."
Given her current situation, it's always good to build connections; it's entirely beneficial.
Moreover, the Alchemist Guild holds a significant position among the many forces on the continent.
Although it is only a branch, the Alchemist Branch's power and status are far above that of the Heavenly Feather Sect.
