Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Xiao Yan Brand Pills

The Alchemist Grand Meeting had concluded and had become the hottest topic throughout the entire Jia Ma Sacred City.

"Have you heard? Rumor has it that the guy who came in second place, Yan Li, is actually the Deputy Chairman of the Alchemist Association from the Chu Yun Empire. He used a pill called the Appearance Recovery Pill to revert his looks to his younger self so he could sneak in. His goal was to disgrace our Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association."

"No way! There's actually such a pill?!"

"Don't get your hopes up. I heard that this Appearance Recovery Pill can only restore youth temporarily, and it's a peak tier 5, nearly tier 6 medicinal pill. If you're thinking about turning back the clock, you can keep dreaming."

Since Yan Li didn't win the championship, the imperial family of the Jia Ma Empire soon publicly revealed his true identity and executed him on the spot, not giving the Chu Yun Empire any time to react.

The Chu Yun Empire lost a peak 4th-tier alchemist, which was an even greater blow than losing a Dou King.

"A Deputy Chairman of the Chu Yun Empire's Alchemist Association sneaked in by cheating and still lost to Xiao Yan in the end. Tsk tsk tsk, that guy is just too impressive."

"Ahem, what aspect of 'impressive' are you referring to?"

In an inn, the two men discussing the matter exchanged glances, their eyes filled with envy.

Who wouldn't want a physique like that?

Now, besides holding titles like the youngest 5th-tier alchemist in history and champion of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, the moniker 'Xiao the Hunk' was also spreading around, especially among women.

At this moment, Xiao Yan, who had been hiding all day wearing his Soul Robe, sat dejectedly in a corner, feeling utterly miserable.

He had only intended to promote his medicinal pills to sell them for a good price and exchange them for the main ingredients of tier 5 pills. But he hadn't expected such a thing to happen!

Who could he even try to reason with about this?!

He could only blame himself for modifying the pill recipe, even changing the alchemy method, using four kinds of Heavenly Flames, and then consuming it without testing!

Xiao Yan sighed deeply. There was no point in hiding any longer. He still needed to purchase medicinal ingredients to refine pills.

Pulling the brim of his hat low, Xiao Yan left the inn and headed to the Miteer Auction House.

He directly took out a token. This was an Elder Token of the Miteer Clan that Hai Bodong had given him. Xiao Yan could now be considered an honorary elder of the Miteer Clan.

"An Elder Token! This humble one wasn't aware of the elder's arrival," the guard hurriedly said respectfully.

Xiao Yan kept his voice low and said, "Take me to see Ya Fei."

"Understood!"

He followed the guard all the way to the sixth floor of the auction house. After a series of knocks, Ya Fei's voice came from inside the room, "Come in."

Xiao Yan waved the guard away. Pushing open the door, he found Ya Fei alone handling some documents. Only then did he remove his hood.

When Ya Fei saw Xiao Yan appear, she gave him a sidelong glance and said, "You finally decided to show up."

Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, his face filled with frustration. "Alas, this time I've really lost face big time."

Ya Fei heard these words and could not help but recall that scene. A rosy blush spread across her fair face, and her enchanting appearance made one's imagination run wild. Anyone who saw her alluring charm would find it hard to keep their heart steady.

However, she didn't continue on that topic. She quickly composed herself and asked, "I wonder what brings Little Brother Xiao Yan to seek me out?"

Xiao Yan wasted no time with idle chatter. With a wave of his hand, he took out over a dozen wooden boxes from his storage ring. Ya Fei's enchanting eyes flashed with surprise the instant she saw the wooden boxes.

She knew that Xiao Yan used these specially crafted wooden boxes to store medicinal pills of tier 4 and above.

Medicinal pills of tier 4 and above would emit a medicinal fragrance, and this special wood could effectively prevent the fragrance from leaking out.

"Little Brother Xiao Yan, you're planning to... sell pills?" Ya Fei walked over with graceful steps, her stunning eyes filled with surprise as she looked at him.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Although I've managed to refine a tier 5 medicinal pill, I'm still some distance away from being a true 5th-tier alchemist. I need to continue refining tier 5 pills."

Previously, Ya Fei had already given him all the tier 5 medicinal ingredients the auction house could provide. They were now out of stock.

"That Four-Lines White Spirit Pill..."

"It's in here too." Xiao Yan slowly opened one of the wooden boxes. Instantly, a warm medicinal fragrance wafted out. It was precisely that tier 5 medicinal pill that had caused a sensation throughout the city, the Four-Lines White Spirit Pill!

"The others are all tier 4 pills, including four genuine Three-Lined Green Spirit Pills."

He opened another wooden box, revealing four Three-Lined Green Spirit Pills inside! These were refined by Xiao Yan last night. He still had two sets of ingredients for the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill that Fa Ma had given him, so he simply used them to refine four pills to sell.

Seeing the table full of wooden boxes, and recalling Xiao Yan's terrifying ability to produce multiple pills in one batch, Ya Fei's delicate mouth opened slightly, her heart racing. This table full of medicinal pills was enough to drive all the cultivators in the Jia Ma Empire crazy!!

Tier 4 pills could already be used by Dou Spirits, and some high-grade tier 4 pills were even effective for Dou Kings.

Although Xiao Yan interacted with Dou Kings, Dou Emperors, and peak 5th-tier alchemists, the entire Jia Ma Sacred City was still predominantly comprised of clans led by Dou Spirits.

There were only three clans with Dou Kings, known as the Three Major Clans.

Moreover, even in the Three Major Clans, Dou Grandmasters were still the backbone. One could imagine that the Three-Lined Green Spirit Pills and that Four Lines White Spirit Pill would definitely cause all the clans to go wild!

Most importantly, all these pills were refined by Xiao Yan himself! And Xiao Yan was an alchemist who possessed a Heavenly Flame and was the champion of the Alchemist Grand Meeting!

The name 'Xiao Yan' itself was a guarantee of quality!

The medicinal pills he refined were absolutely among the top three in terms of quality in the Jia Ma Empire, on par with Pill King Gu He and Chairman Fa Ma, perhaps even surpassing them!

After all, he was currently the most renowned person in the Jia Ma Empire.

"Little Brother Xiao Yan, how do you plan to sell them? Set prices and place them in the chamber of commerce, or hold an auction?" Ya Fei sat across from Xiao Yan, her eyes revealing a shrewd and capable gaze.

"Auction. I don't want money or anything else; I only want medicinal ingredients."

As an alchemist, Xiao Yan naturally understood the value ratio between medicinal ingredients and pills better than anyone. Generally speaking, one tier 4 pill could be exchanged for the main ingredient of a tier 5 pill of the same grade. That's why he brought out tier 4 pills, because he wanted to obtain precious main ingredients for refining tier 5 pills.

Ya Fei lightly tapped her finger on the table, pondering seriously for a moment before saying, "If your goal is medicinal ingredients, then I suggest we start the auction first thing tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning?!" Xiao Yan was taken aback. It was already noon, and she wanted to start tomorrow morning!

Ya Fei nodded earnestly and said, "Because of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, many alchemists have come from all over the empire to compete. Those alchemists are the ones who possess the most precious medicinal ingredients. Now that the conference has ended, I'm afraid those alchemists are already preparing to leave Jia Ma Sacred City."

"Right now, Little Brother Xiao Yan is the champion. Many alchemists will want to purchase one of your pills to take back and study. Perhaps it could spark a bidding frenzy among them, allowing us to earn even more."

Xiao Yan looked at Ya Fei in surprise. He hadn't considered this at all. He originally thought that for better promotion, the longer the time, the better—to spread the word to other cities and wait for the patriarchs of major clans to bring medicinal ingredients to the auction.

He had overlooked the fact that it was the alchemists who truly possessed the most precious medicinal ingredients!

He hadn't taken into account the perfect timing and location the Alchemist Grand Meeting provided.

Ya Fei felt a tinge of pride in her heart when she saw his astonished expression. There weren't many things that could surprise Xiao Yan.

"Then I'll leave everything to Sister Ya Fei. I still need to go to the Alchemist Association to collect my championship reward." Xiao Yan put on his Soul Robe and flew out the window with a grin.

Ya Fei watched as Xiao Yan flew away through the window once again. She stared at his departing figure in a daze and muttered, "Could he really have taken Elder Hai's words seriously?"

A delicate blush blossomed across her pretty face. She shook her head vigorously and muttered to herself, "What am I thinking? He's still just a kid."

But then she suddenly recalled yesterday's earth-shattering scene in the square. Seems like... he's not that much of a kid anymore!
