The Tian Css Au Hall was located on the fifth floor of the Miteer Au House in Jia Ma Sacred City. The entire floor was dedicated to this au hall.

  Not only was the Tian Css Au the rgest au hall in the au house, but it was also the one aodating the fewest people.

  The Tian Css Au Hall had only y-nine private rooms. Each bidder who could ehe au hall had their own exclusive, vishly furnished private room.

  Being able to ehe Tian Css Au Hall was, in itself, a symbol of status. Only ts possessing more than a million gold s or those whose strength had reached the Dou King realm were qualified to enter.

  The entire au hall was ring-shaped, with the au stage in the ter. Surrounding it were the private rooms fuests participating in the au, providing an unobstructed view of the items dispyed oage from almost every angle.

  "What an impressive lineup! Twelve types of middle-grade tier 4 pills and above, and in quantities greater than just one."

  "If they were only ordinary tier 4 pills, evehree Lines Green Spirit Pills wouldn't be enough for the Miteer to opeian Css Au Hall. But si's Xiao Yan, that's a different matter."

  Early in the m, many s, high-ranking officials, and promi figures from Jia Ma Sacred City had already ehe au hall and were waiting.

  "This seems to be the first time in many years that the Tian Css Au Hall has been opened for a single person." Before the au began, some s who knew each other were chatting in the corridor.

  "Just think about it, who else has the capability to single-handedly provide all the au items for the eian Css Au? Not even Pill King Gu He or Chairman Fa Ma have as mufluence as Grandmaster Xiao Yan does now."

  "That's true. Look, at least half of the private rooms are filled with alchemists who came to participate in the Alchemist Graing. This au was anized so hastily; I guess it's because Grandmaster Xiao Yan specified that the bidding for the pills would only be in exge for medial ingredients."

  "The remaining two of the three major s, the Mu d the Nan , have both e. Even the Jia Ma Imperial Family is here, as well as Chairman Fa Ma of the Alchemist Association. Tsk tsk, the petition will be fierce this time."

  "I heard the Misty Cloud Sect has also e and is in the Nan 's private room."

  "It's not surprising. I heard Nan Yanran has already reached the Dou Grandmaster realm. She's probably aiming for a Three-Lined Green Spirit Pill or even that Four Lines White Spirit Pill."

  "Look, isn't that Fu Zhan, one of the former Ten Strong? What's he doing here?"

  "Heh, he has a grandson who is said to be close to reag the Dou Grandmaster realm. Why do you think he's here?"

  "Hu Yuan, Yu Feng... Even these experts from the previous geion's Ten Strong have shown up?!"

  By the time Xiao Yan, dressed in a bck robe, ehe au hall through the back door, the au floor was already abuzz with discussions. tless heads and powerful cultivators were seated in their private rooms, patiently waiting for the au to ence.

  Xiao Yan could take in all the private rooms at once from the anizer's private room at the back. This was set up for signors like him.

  The more precious ahe harder it was to measure its value in gold s. Many times, pills above tier 4 required bartering item for item.

  This recisely why the Nan had amassed so many preedial ingredients in their colle. Exging rare ingredients for pills was not a practiique to Xiao Yan; many alchemists did the same.

  "Quite a few old fellows have shown up this time, peak Dou Spirits and even low-star Dou Kings." At this moment, Hai Bodong beside Xiao Yan couldn't help but g the private rooms and mutter.

  The Jia Ma Empire's Ten Strong were all high-star or even peak Dou Kings and above, but that didn't mean the empire only had ten Dou Kings in total.

  Those seated in the bidding positions of the private rooms were all existe the Dou Spirit realm and above. Most of these people were iial figures with status, dominant regional leaders.

  Aside from them, the most numerous attendees were 3rd-tier alchemists. One shouldn't assume that the entire Jia Ma Empire had only the thirty-something 3rd-tier alchemists who made it to the final round. That was because the tour had an age limit of uhirty.

  Xiao Yan's au this time had even attracted some seasoned veteran alchemists at peak tier 3 and tier 4, all aiming to obtain one of his pills to study.

  One could imagine how fiercely those veteran alchemists, who had been struggling at the peak of tier 3, would pete for one of Xiao Yan's pills. Moreover, these alchemists had undoubtedly accumuted a siderable number of preedial ingredients.

  "All the better. The older the relic, the more valuable the colle." Xiao Yan smiled faintly. This au would make his path to being a 5th-tier alchemist much smoother.

  Hai Bodong could not help but look at Xiao Yan strangely, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Xiao Yan was a freak.

  How could an ordinary alchemist possibly take out so many pills to au? The success rate was truly frightening.

  Many alchemists he support of major s. Gu He had the support of the Misty Cloud Sect, and Fa Ma had the support of the Alchemist Association, but they had essentially sold themselves and were bound by obligations.

  Only this freak Xiao Yan could refiier 4 pills on his own to exge for tier 5 medial ingredients to practice with.

  Self-suffit!

  Of course, Xiao Yan couldn't produce medial ingredients himself. If not fging up some in the small valley, receiving a bit of tribution from Yao Li, and casually taking a smidgen from Medusa's pce, he wouldn't have had enough ingredients to refine so many pills.

  Xiao Yan g the sky and said with a faint smile, "It's about time. Let's start the au."

  The elder from the Miteer beside him nodded slowly and withdrew.

  Before long, the g sound of a bell rang out. After a while, a cong sounded from the au stage. At this moment, Ya Fei, dressed in a white gsam, gracefully stepped onto the stage.

  ging her usual demeanor, Ya Fei had her hair coiled up with a wooden hairpin. Every frown and smile appeared elegant and refined, and her seductive demeanor had vanished without a trace!

  In the eyes of those familiar with Ya Fei, seeing her with a pletely different look captivated their souls and stirred up an irrepressible agitation in their hearts.

  "Ladies alemen, the au of pills provided by the champion of the Alchemist Graing, Grandmaster Xiao Yan, will now ence." Ya Fei's voice was full of magism and charm, yet also carrying a hint of freshness. Quite a few people felt their hearts itch upon hearing her voice.

  They grew even more curious about what other little-known sides this ossessed.

  "Now, let's wele the first item up for au." Ya Fei lightly raised an eyebrow, charmi refined, aly cpped her hands, causing mas to flutter.

  A wooden box was slowly pushed onto the stage. Ya Fei smiled and said, "This first au item was not refined by Grandmaster Xiao Yan himself, but rather a st-minute addition he provided."

  "Not refined by Grandmaster Xiao Yan?" Many people couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. Many alchemists had e solely for Xiao Yan's pills; pills made by others held little meaning to them.

  "But I believe there will still be quite a few people who ." Ya Fei slowly opehe wooden box, and a faint purple medial fragrance gradually wafted out from within.

  "The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill!!!" Some wh couldn't help but excim. This was the legendary pill of the Chu Yun Empire's Alchemist Association. Many had heard of its reputation.

  "So that's it; this should be the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill refined during the tour."

  Starting the au with a peak tier 4 Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill immediately raised the bar; truly befitting a Tian Css Au.

  For many s, a peak tier 4 pill was something only the head was qualified to use. There were even quite a few s whose heads had never used a peak tier 4 pill before.

  "The starting bid is a rare main ingredient for a tier 5 pill. Please bid as you see fit. Grandmaster Xiao Yan is backstage and will make his owion."
