It took more than ten seconds before Qing Lin let out a soft moan and regained consciousness, then buried her flushed face into Chen Yang's chest. "I'm sorry, Young Master..."
Chen Yang rubbed Qing Lin's head. This girl's heart was truly filled with nothing but him!
"Knock, knock, knock!" Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Chen Yang released Qing Lin, and she zipped out of his arms like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the master bedroom of the suite.
The door pushed open and Xiao Yan walked in, a fawning smile on his face. "Hehe, Brother Yang, I went to buy the medicinal herbs. However, I couldn't find all of them. Including my previous collection, I only found a bit more than half!"
As Xiao Yan spoke, he walked toward Chen Yang and placed a storage ring containing the medicinal herbs in front of him.
"It's not a big problem; this was within my expectations. If the medicinal herbs for sixth-grade Peak and seventh-grade pills were so easy for you to collect, then every Alchemist on the Fighting Qi Continent would open a pharmacy!" Chen Yang scanned the medicinal herbs in the storage ring with his Soul Power, then shook his head with a smile.
"I'll keep an eye out for the remaining herbs and try to gather them within half a year!" Xiao Yan scratched his head with a silly grin, then asked curiously, "Brother Yang, these herbs seem to be for refining two kinds of pills. What exactly are the effects of these two pills?"
Chen Yang smiled, crossed his legs, and took a sip of tea before saying, "These herbs are indeed for refining two types of pills."
"The sixth-grade Peak pill is called the dragon source profound blood pill. You've seen the main ingredient, the Dragon Blood Origin Fruit. This fruit is a rare treasure that only ripens after absorbing the blood of a Dragon-type Magical Beast. A pill refined with it as the main ingredient has an extremely strong effect on strengthening the Physical Body. Just one is enough to raise your physical strength to a level comparable to a powerful Sixth-Tier Magical Beast, such as the Amethyst Winged Lion King type."
"Of course, it's also possible to use the blood of a Dragon-type Magical Beast directly as a substitute, and the effect might even be better. If you're lucky enough to encounter a Dragon-type Magical Beast of the seventh tier or higher, or even obtain their monster core, tsk tsk, I could refine this pill into a seventh-grade for you. Combined with that earth core body tempering pill, it could even make your physical strength comparable to an ordinary Seventh-Tier Magical Beast."
"As for the earth core body tempering pill, it's to help you solidify your foundation and strengthen your internal organs. Although you used many auxiliary pills when swallowing the Heavenly Flame, overall, it still caused some damage to your internal organs."
"But with the earth core body tempering pill, it will be different. Used together with the dragon source profound blood pill, your foundation and internal organs will be fully repaired. Before reaching the Dou Zong stage, your path will be unobstructed!"
Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yan and said with a smile.
The 'copyright' for these two pills still belonged to the Flame Emperor, the master of the Endless Fire Territory in the Major Thousand Worlds. Among them, the dragon source profound blood pill was created by the Flame Emperor countless years later for Zi Yan and the Void Ancient Dragon Clan.
The reason was simple: Zhu Kun, the old Dragon King, found a female dragon in the Major Thousand Worlds and gave Zi Yan a little sister. Zhu Kun found Brother Yan and asked him for some pills. At that time, the Flame Emperor custom-made an Emperor-Grade pill based on the characteristics of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan. Later, the Flame Emperor simplified this pill, bringing it down to as low as sixth-grade to train the ordinary Disciples of the Xiao Clan and the Heaven Mansion Alliance on the Fighting Qi Continent, which was also very useful.
As for the earth core body tempering pill, it was created by the Flame Emperor one day while drinking with Han Yue, Lin Xiuya, and others, when he remembered the benefit he had taken from the Earth Core Body Tempering Fluid they had discovered first. So he created it on a whim and passed the Pill Formula to them to use for training their descendants, which was quite good.
And now, all these pills belonged to Chen Yang, and they happened to be used on the future Flame Emperor, who was still just Brother Yan.
"Brother Yang..." After hearing Chen Yang's introduction, Xiao Yan was so moved that tears fell.
This great kindness... if he were a woman, he'd probably have to offer himself in marriage.
"Holy crap, what kind of look is that? Get out, get out, stay away from me, damn..." Chen Yang felt a wave of disgust at Xiao Yan's gaze and kicked him right in the butt, sending him back to the room next door.
Xiao Yan sat on the bed clutching his butt and chuckled for a while. Suddenly, he remembered Chen Yang had just said "Holy crap." After a moment of daze, he remembered that he seemed to have said similar things in front of Brother Yang. Scratching his head, Xiao Yan went straight to sleep!
As for Brother Yang's kindness, it could never be repaid, never.
In this life, he could probably only keep being told "Congratulations on your wealth" by Brother Yang!
...The next day, near the afternoon, the Black Seal Auction was held as scheduled.
Compared to the original plot where Xiao Yan, as an ordinary Great Dou Shi, needed to hide his identity to attend, the trio of Chen Yang's group appeared much more arrogant.
After Xiao Yan revealed his identity as a Dou Wang and a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, the Black Seal Auction House directly arranged VIP seats. Of course, Chen Yang's group also attracted the attention of the master of Black Seal City, Sect Leader Yuan Yi of the Eight Gates.
"A strange Dou King expert, and a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, tsk... are they also here for that thing?" Yuan Yi sat above the Auction House, murmuring softly.
"Sect Leader, that young Dou Wang doesn't seem to be the master of that group. This trio's combination might bring some unnecessary trouble to this auction!" A Three-Star Dou Wang looked at Yuan Yi and said.
"It doesn't matter. We only run the Auction House. As long as nothing happens inside the Auction House, even if they all beat each other to death outside, it has nothing to do with us!" Yuan Yi waved his hand and spoke with an air of indifference.
"Yes, this subordinate understands!"
...Soon, the auction began under the hosting of an old man in lavish clothing.
The first item, just as in Chen Yang's memory, was a longsword embedded with a third-tier ice-attribute monster core, named Cold Edge. Yao Lao was stunned for a moment when he heard it, but he didn't take it to heart.
This sword was eventually won by Chen Yang for 140,000 gold coins, which was 10,000 lower than the price in the original plot. After all, Chen Yang's group was sitting in the front row VIP seats; those ordinary Great Dou Shi had no intention of looking for trouble, and the others in the VIP seats simply looked down on it.
"Hehe, I'll give this sword to Ling'er later. However, this third-tier monster core is a bit poor; I'll get a fourth-tier monster core to replace it later!" Among the people Chen Yang knew, there weren't many with water or ice attributes—one was Xiao Ling, and the other was Hai Bodong.
Hai Bodong was about to become a Dou Zong, so he naturally wouldn't need a weapon of this level. Thus, only the little girl Xiao Ling was left.
"Speaking of which, Little Sister Xiao Ling is probably about to Breakthrough to Dou Ling soon, right?" Xiao Yan said with some emotion, remembering Xiao Ling's terrifying Cultivation speed under the assistance of Chen Yang's pills.
"Even if she hasn't, she's not far off!" Chen Yang smiled and continued to look at the subsequent auction items...
