Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 105 The Elixir of Sound
Song Yan stared at her blankly upon hearing this.

This little girl...

Are they cultivators from the Dongyuan Sect?
How did she know that they were fellow disciples...?

My thoughts are a bit jumbled.

Song Yan knew that there were many strange and wonderful methods in this world of cultivation that could make people young again.

Therefore, he did not believe that the little girl was only that small.

Perhaps she's like Granny Qin, an older woman who likes to act young.

But how did she manage to tell at a glance that he was a disciple of the sect?
Full of doubt, he looked down and examined himself.

What exactly went wrong...?

Most importantly, she recognized him...

Does this mean that many people can recognize him?

pity.

There is no problem that can be solved.

The auction has already begun.

Distracted, he didn't even hear what the elderly host on stage said at the beginning.

After calming himself down a bit, Song Yan made up his mind to only take a picture of the Mingjue Pill and then leave immediately.

"The first item up for auction is a seven-leaf scrophularia root."

The old man's withered fingers pressed against the back of the jade box that his assistant had brought over, and with a gentle tap, he opened the jade box.

The azure ginseng whiskers of the elixir in the box slowly shimmered with light.

"This item is born from Xuan Yin and can be used as an auxiliary ingredient in the refining of Foundation Establishment Pills. Starting bid: 100 spirit stones."

"Each bid increase must be at least twenty coins."

Song Yan chuckled inwardly.

As expected, the auctioneers at each auction house were all eloquent and persuasive.

At first glance, this elixir seems to be related to the incredibly precious Foundation Establishment Pill.

In reality, it can only be used to refine auxiliary medicines.

The so-called auxiliary pill is a pill that, when taken together with the main pill, can slightly enhance the effect of the main pill.

It was just a tiny bit.

Song Yan had no intention of making a move.

What a joke.

He had never even seen a Foundation Establishment Pill before, yet he spent several hundred spirit stones to bid for one of the ingredients for an auxiliary pill...

That's absolutely insane.

"One hundred and twenty..."

"..."

"two hundred……"

Sure enough, its price didn't quite match its reputation as a "foundation-building elixir material."

Not many people made bids.

In the end, the cultivator whose entire head was shrouded in mist won the bid for two hundred spirit stones.

Song Yan simply closed his eyes to rest.

He didn't participate in the bidding for any of these items, patiently waiting for Mingjuedan to take the stage.

During this time, the girl next to him also bid on some items.

However, they were just a few kinds of spirit insects.

Insect repair?

So far, he seemed to have never heard of any insect cultivator among the sect's disciples...

As I pondered, time slowly passed.

Following the principle of avoiding attracting the attention of others, even when something of interest appeared on stage, he didn't give it a second glance.

Soon, it was time for the penultimate item.

The elderly man in charge of the event took a small jade box from his assistant's tray.

"The next treasure is something that many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators would want."

With a light tap of the fingertips, the jade box slowly opened, revealing a pale yellow elixir.

"Mingjue Dan".

Song Yan slowly opened her eyes.

"This pill can increase the chances of breaking through the three barriers in the late stage of Qi Refining by 30% to 40%."

"I imagine that most of the fellow practitioners present here today are either independent cultivators or idle disciples of the outer sect."

"Most alchemists who can refine this type of pill only supply it to major sects."

"It rarely leaks out on ordinary days."

"The one before us comes from Mount Suspended Sword. Its quality, efficacy, and potency are all at the mid-grade level."

"I won't say any more unnecessary words. The starting price is one hundred, and each bid must be at least twenty spirit stones."

"Two hundred!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a black-robed cultivator in the front row took the lead in quoting a price.

"Two hundred and sixty." "Two hundred and eighty."

"..."

Even now, Song Yan still hasn't spoken.

He glanced at the mysterious young woman beside him with some concern.

This person is very discreet; if he were to bid, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for him.

"five hundred!"

The black-robed cultivator suddenly raised the price by a significant margin.

The auction hall suddenly fell silent.

As the old man on the stage said, most of the cultivators participating in the auction here are rogue cultivators in the mountains who are at the Qi Refining stage.

Where do so many spirit stones come from?

Fetching 500 for this Mingjue Pill is probably the limit for many people.

After a brief pause, the old man gently tapped his small hammer.

"Five hundred, once."

Just then, Song Yan spoke up.

"Five hundred and fifty."

Ok?
The black-robed cultivator turned his head slightly and glanced at Song Yan behind him.

At the same time, there was another cultivator, also hidden in a black robe, beside him, who seemed to be with him.

Both of them glanced back slightly.

"Six hundred."

"Six hundred and twenty!"

Song Yan was determined to win.

"..."

The two black-robed cultivators exchanged a glance and did not continue bidding.

The girl Song Yan had been so worried about didn't seem to be bidding against him, which relieved him.

Three small hammer blows rang out.

"Congratulations to this fellow Daoist on successfully acquiring the Mingjue Pill."

The Lingxifang Auction is somewhat different from the Lingyuanze Night Market; once the transaction is completed, you can leave at any time.

Song Yan had no interest in seeing the final auction items.

Even if I wanted it, it's something I can't afford to buy right now.

He immediately got up, paid the spirit stones in the side hall, and obtained the Mingjue Pill.

He then left the auction house through a side hall.

The exit was a narrow alleyway made of bluestone bricks. Taking advantage of the shadows, Song Yan walked quickly towards the outside of Lingxi Lane.

The journey was uneventful, which put my mind at ease.

But when he actually walked out of the market area and not far, until he reached the edge of his maximum divine sense, he suddenly sensed two auras heading straight for him.

"!"

A strong sense of alarm arose in my mind.

Several faces flashed through my mind in an instant.

The girl, and the two black-robed monks.

At the same time, he fully activated his spiritual power, leaping through the forest and rushing towards the Dongyuan Sect, not daring to stop for a moment.

"It must have been those two... murderers and robbers?"

Three talismans were simultaneously unleashed from his fingertips, and he was immediately enveloped by a strong wind.

While running, the speed increased significantly.

however.

The two auras were still getting closer and closer to him.

Song Yan believed that he had made sufficient preparations and precautions, and had even anticipated this possibility.

However, when he actually faced such a situation, he still felt that no amount of preparation was excessive.

This is, after all, a matter of life and death.

We should still be more cautious.

However, he did not panic.

"One is at about the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the other is at about the seventh level of Qi Refining."

Seeing that the two auras were about to approach him, Song Yan hid in the shadows while quietly activating the Concealing Spirit Technique of the Hidden Sword to conceal all auras.

The opponent must also have a similar technique to my Wind Release Talisman, so sooner or later I will be caught up by them.

Saying that we've made thorough preparations for this trip is no empty promise.

Song Yan naturally had ways to ensure his safe escape.

only……

Just in case, he had to look for an opportunity.
