Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 317 Each Makes Their Own Bids
After all those interested had observed it up close, the head steward personally closed the jade box containing the Jade Blood Pill.

"Gentlemen, if anyone is truly interested in the Crimson Blood Elixir, please allow me a moment to discuss this further."

As he spoke, the old manager turned to the lobby with a beaming smile and extended an invitation with one hand.

This is when it's time to actually offer a price.

After some hesitation, only thirteen people did not give up.

Seven of them are from the Chamber of Commerce.

Apart from Li Ji'an from the Jinhua Chamber of Commerce, who also had a representative, the other five chambers of commerce each had only one representative.

When Li Ji'an took the initiative to step inside, Wu Yehua was stunned for a moment.

"Brother Liu, are you also vying for the Azure Blood Pill?"

"I owe someone a favor, so I'll do my best to help," Li Ji'an said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yehua's heart stirred.

As a businessman who values ​​profit over parting, he has always disdained concepts like benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, prioritizing profit above all else.

But this does not prevent him from using benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness as bait, and he even prefers such loyal and righteous people, who are sometimes cheaper.

"Brother Liu, your noble character is beyond my wildest admiration," Wu Yehua said with a deep bow.

However, he changed his tone: "But, Brother Liu's intention is enough. I think that fellow Daoist will understand. After all, this Jade Blood Pill is hard-won. It was traded by the Fierce Tiger Merchant Guild at great cost. It is definitely not something that can be traded with ordinary spiritual resources."

"Hehe~" Wu Yehua had just finished speaking when a soft laugh rang out from the side.

Wu Yehua turned to look at the young woman beside him, who was dressed in a seven-colored robe, wore a seven-colored feather crown, had phoenix eyes that slanted upwards, and was extremely beautiful yet exceptionally arrogant: "So you are Fairy Bai. May I ask what brings you here?"

The woman is the eldest daughter of the Yaochi Chamber of Commerce. Among all the descendants of the eighteen chambers of commerce in the entire Wanshang Domain, she is exceptionally talented. Ten years ago, she had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. However, when she participated in the Flying Goose Dao Discussion, she was overshadowed by the immortal talents that the five giants, including the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce and the Fierce Tiger Chamber of Commerce, had recruited from the outer domains, and failed to advance to the top five.

The Yaochi Chamber of Commerce had invested a lot in her back then, and she always held onto the determination to win, but the result was far from ideal.

Therefore, he did not attempt to form the Core Formation for ten years, all in order to participate in the Flying Goose Dao Discussion once again.

"Hmph! You've caused such a huge mess for your chamber of commerce, why don't you go back and reflect on your mistakes in seclusion? You actually dared to dream of obtaining the Jade Blood Pill?" Bai Cailing's expression was arrogant, and she reprimanded Wu Yehua in public without any mercy, as if she were Wu Yehua's elder.

Wu Yehua remained calm and replied with a smile, "No need for Fairy Bai to trouble yourself. It's just a little bit of hardship. I think I can handle it."

"You? You're making your second brother clean up your mess again?" Bai Cailing directly hit Wu Yehua's weak spot.

"Hmph!" Wu Yehua's expression changed instantly again, and he looked at Bai Cailing with a gloomy face.

"Ms. Bai, do you already consider yourself the wife of our Chamber of Commerce's president?"

Bai Cailing sneered again: "What a joke! Is my Yaochi Chamber of Commerce inferior to your Jinhua Chamber of Commerce? I am merely on friendly terms with your second brother. Hurry up and go back to the Chamber of Commerce to confess your crimes and accept your punishment. Don't let your second brother clean up your mess again."

As the two most talented members of the Eighteen Chambers of Commerce, they were indeed quite close, and there were rumors that they were kindred spirits and might become a couple.

For this reason, Wu Yehua's second brother is the most popular among members of the Jinhua Chamber of Commerce.

"You... Hmph, I'm sure you'll be disappointed this time. I was thinking of bidding for the Azure Blood Pill to give your Seven-Colored Spirit Crane a chance, but now you can forget about it."

"Your spirit crane only has a superior bloodline, and it failed to advance to the third rank once. Without the help of the Azure Blood Pill, it will never be able to advance to the third rank in its lifetime!" Wu Yehua stopped being polite and went straight to the heart of the matter.

Upon hearing this, Bai Cailing's phoenix eyebrows turned icy cold. If they weren't inside the main hall of the Fierce Tiger Merchant Guild, she would definitely have taught them a lesson.

Her crane is a companion that has been with her since childhood, and it also carries her longing for her mother.

Her greatest wish is to help Linghe also advance to the third rank.

Unfortunately, despite her tireless efforts to secure spirit beast resources for Linghe, she failed to break through to the third tier ten years ago. Therefore, she is the one with the strongest will among all those interested in the Azure Blood Pill.

"You think you can take me seriously!" Bai Cailing finally snorted coldly, completely disregarding Wu Yehua.

Wu Yehua smiled confidently: "Then we'll wait and see!"

Bai Cailing snorted coldly and was the first to step into the main hall.

Wu Yehua stared at her beautiful back, his eyes filled with a sinister and lustful look.

Then, with a smile on her face, she turned to Li Ji'an and said, "Brother Liu, there's no need to worry. Everyone in the region knows how aloof and arrogant this woman is."

"However, what he said is not untrue. You don't need to have too much hope for the Blood Elixir this time."

Li Ji'an nodded slightly, revealing his thoughts.

Before long, all thirteen people entered the main hall.

The old steward's usually amiable expression turned solemn: "You all should know the price our Fierce Tiger Merchant Guild has paid this time. Therefore, it's best if you have a realistic idea of ​​what you're bidding for. Otherwise, bidding too low could easily damage our harmony."

"To avoid any unparalleled treasures that you may be unwilling to reveal, our Chamber of Commerce has specially adopted a method of individual bidding. After everyone has submitted their bids, we will compare them according to our own needs and finally determine the trading partner."

"Of course, if the final buyer does not wish to disclose their identity, our chamber of commerce will keep it confidential."

"Is everyone clear now?"

……

Upon hearing this, half of the thirteen people relaxed.

Clearly, the Fierce Tiger Chamber of Commerce has taken this very seriously.

Many of them share this concern.

Apart from the six members of the Chamber of Commerce, the other families, especially several well-known independent cultivators in the Wanshang Domain, all nodded in satisfaction.

Li Ji'an was overjoyed.

Originally, he didn't intend to use this identity again when he was showing himself as Liu Qingyun, since once the things he was going to trade were exposed, it would easily attract the attention of all parties.

For now, he doesn't need to worry too much.

"Good!" the crowd responded, and each headed towards a private room inside.

Li Ji'an scanned the several secret rooms in front of him with his divine sense and found that they were all protected by third-order restriction formations. Even if he wanted to probe in with his divine sense, it would trigger a warning formation.

"Brother Liu, while you don't need to insist on the Azure Blood Pill, don't offer too low a price, otherwise it may easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the Fierce Tiger Merchant Guild. You can offer 100,000 spirit stones, since it won't be sold anyway." Wu Yehua specially instructed him via telepathy before entering the secret room.

"Thank you for the reminder, my brother." Li Ji'an was in a good mood at the moment, and his attitude towards Wu Yehua was slightly better.

"Brother Liu, you're too kind." Wu Yehua was immediately delighted, noticing the change in Li Ji'an's attitude.

After everyone had entered their respective private rooms, Li Ji'an held his breath slightly and stepped inside.

Inside the secret room that Li Ji'an entered, an elderly man with a silent expression closed his eyes to rest, without ever glancing at Li Ji'an.

With a slight sensory awareness, Li Ji'an raised an eyebrow and realized that it was actually a True Core cultivator.

What do you wish to trade?

"An ancient pill formula fragment that can likely increase the success rate of cultivators in forming their core!"
