Heavenly Asura Path(Percy Jackson)

Chapter 13: Alchemy Pills

Alchemy?...

When everyone heard the host's question, many people showed puzzled and bewildered expressions. But, undoubtedly, they felt curiosity like a terrible itch on their scalps. Now, looking at the smiling woman, they wanted to know what this alchemy was and the next two items for sale.

The woman simply pulled back the blanket and showed everyone three small transparent bottles in which one contained bright yellow, almost golden colored balls. Another had brown balls and the last had green balls.

 "I'm sure almost everyone has heard of the Mystic Water Pill. For spirit masters of rank 20 and below, it's a pill that not only helps strengthen the martial spirit a little, but also the body. In addition, it will clean the vessels and meridians, even removing waste from within the body."

"Alchemy is responsible for creating this kind of thing. Perhaps the masters who create the Mystic Water Pills didn't know about this, but it is so."

"Alchemy is a job where an expert selects certain elements such as: spiritual herbs, blood of spiritual beasts and even some minerals; all of this to create medicine that can heal wounds, pills to increase soul power, improve the martial spirit and even evolve it."

"Tonight, in this penultimate auction, I will open three types of pills. Guests have to bid for the entire bottle. And we will start with the awakening pills first," the woman said seriously for the first time, extending a hand towards the bottle with golden pills.

 "These awakening pills are named after their use. A person can only take one, and it must be before the awakening of the martial spirit. The effect this awakening pill has is, as the name suggests, to awaken spirituality in a child. By taking it, a child who has no spiritual power can gain one level of spiritual power or perhaps two, but the maximum cannot exceed five levels."

"In short, esteemed guests, with this pill, no matter which child it is, they will be able to become a spiritual master guaranteed."

"…"

"…"

Seeing everyone silent and shocked, the woman only continued.

"This bottle will start at a price of 500,000 golden soul coins."

"1,000,000!" Ning Fengzhi immediately exclaimed. He knew that by obtaining these pills, his clan sect would be able to grow. And while most of the children came from the clan or families close to them, they also took in others. The clan was in charge of recruiting and awakening the martial spirits of youths from nearby villages or cities. Now, if they obtained these pills, they could be guaranteed spirit masters!

After all, it was not uncommon to see a youth with a martial spirit of a sword, hammer, or sickle that had no soul power. Therefore, these pills were definitely a good buy.

"3,000,000," Yu Yuanzhu challenged as he narrowed his eyes. His eyes seemed emotionless, but the more knowledgeable would notice a flash of regret and regret in his eyes. He, after all, had a son who was considered absolute trash.

Yu Xiaogang, his son, actually awakened a mutated martial spirit of the worst kind. The blue electric tyrant dragon spirit had actually turned into a pig-dog with half soul power in his son. It wasn't even one of soul power, but half!

Now, looking at these pills, he wished they would appear much sooner.

"4,000,000," Bibi Dong's dignified and majestic voice rang out, causing gazes to appear. However, she ignored everyone and only looked at the pill bottles. Occasionally, she would also glance at Percy when she knew no one was looking.

Percy frowned as he twitched his lips, aware of the gaze of the woman. He didn't know why he was receiving such gazes. He had realized a while ago that she might know that he was the creator of all the things in the auction, but her eyes didn't seem to have any greed or curiosity towards him. In fact, it seemed like she knew him.

Liu Erlong also looked at Bibi Dong, just in time for their gazes to meet. The two women were looking at each other from a distance, but it was as if they were only a meter apart. But, to Liu Erlong's great surprise, the other party smiled slightly before looking back down at the pill bottles.

 "She smiled? She's not supposed to, she should even hate me," Liu Erlgon muttered to herself. Yu Xiaogang, after all, had also fallen in love with Bibi Dong. One could say that they were love rivals, but he saw none of that right now.

"7,000,000!" Emperor Xue Ye exclaimed.

"9,000,000!" Ning Fengzhi counter-bid. The Emperor looked at him and let out a snort. He wasn't as unhappy as he thought, they were acquaintances after all. The clan leader was, after all, Xue Qinghe's (Qian Renxue) master, so he knew that Ning Fengzhi should also desire the pills as much as he did.

Gu Rong smiled slightly as he saw that Fengzhi was winning, and not only that, the bidding had stopped and the woman was screaming.

 "Looks like there are no more bids! The awakening pills are going for nine million to the VIP in box number 3!"

"Good!" Clenching his fist, Ning Fengzhi slammed the armrest, pleased with this purchase. Since he had bought a few things before, he could be said to be second in terms of money in the place. First place would go to Bibi Dong, who had not made any purchases.

 "Now we will move on to the second batch of pills. These pills have the effect of healing wounds and illnesses. As long as the person has a single breath left, they will be able to be saved with one of them. But please do not think that it will perform miracles. The efficiency will depend on the state of the injured person."

"If said person loses a limb, the pill will be able to heal the wound, but not cause a new limb to grow. Simply put, the pill will show its best if it is a person who has an intact body."

"Also, while it can bring someone back from certain death, that person will still be weak from the effects that an illness or injury could cause."

Everyone immediately understood. A perfect example would be a sick person who has been bedridden for months or even years. While the pill would eliminate the illness and heal any wounds, the person would still have a weak body and would tire easily from being inactive for so long.

"Fengzhi!" Gu Rong immediately exclaimed.

 "Yes… I know," Ning Fengzhi nodded with a look of longing and desire. "With these pills, my wife will be able to be saved."

"The auction for this lot will start at one million."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi stood up from his chair and walked closer to the large window of the box, and shouted: "10 million! I bid 10 million golden soul coins!"

Golden soul coins? Never mind! No matter the price, his wife was more important than the golden soul coins! He shouted in his heart. He didn't mind throwing away his entire personal fortune to obtain those pills.

Bibi Dong just remained calm, even if she wanted to bid, it wasn't worth it. As the pope of the spiritual hall, she knew about the man's wife's problem thanks to the spy network she possessed. In the end, no matter how much she bid, Ning Fengzhi would continue to fight for the pills.

Even Yu Yuanzhu knew this and shook his head slightly.

"Leave it… there is still a batch of unknown pills that might be useful," he muttered to himself.

"11,000,000!" Someone shouted from the emperor's box. It was a falcon-like man with grey hair and an arrogant look.

The Emperor, knowing the concerns of his 'son's' master, glared at the man beside him. He felt ashamed of his brother and immediately slapped his face.

"Idiot, do you want to antagonize the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?" The Emperor hissed in a low voice and stared coldly at his brother.

Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) shook her head as she looked away from her foolish uncle. She didn't understand why there were people who seemed to not have such a low IQ.

"Ah... having an IQ is so good, avoid getting into trouble," the disguised Qian Renxue muttered in her heart. She knew that although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan only had two titled douluo, their reputation, wealth, and total members were better and greater than the rest of the clans/sects within the continent. Therefore, even the Emperor was careful with how he treated Ning Fengzhi, even more so when the man was his 'son's' teacher.

And in regards to Ning Fengzhi, he didn't even pay attention to them, he simply bid 12 million before waiting and looking around the entire huge auction hall before sighing when it was apparent that he would win.

With this, the auction for the third and final bottle of pills had finally arrived. These were pills that helped a spiritual master's foundation. In some cases, some people didn't lay their foundation calmly enough or had a process that wasn't refined enough, so in later stages they had problems and many bottlenecks.

Spiritual foundation pills helped improve those foundations at any level, even being able to give a certain percentage of breakthrough to the people who took them. This meant that if a person had a bottleneck, this pill would help them break through it and reach a new level.

Even a level 90 spirit douluo could break through with enough luck and reach the long-awaited and longed-for level 91 titled douluo. These pills might even be more valuable than the others that were put up!

However, with all said and done, no one expected the last auction to be so shocking. When the hostess showed a small bottle that only contained a single golden-colored pill, and the small lid was opened, a spiritual and herbal aroma filled the huge hall.
