Chapter 708 Entering Elder Peak
As a result, Long Xiao was utterly disappointed, and he would never have the chance to take over the Dragon Ascension Auction House again.
The Grand Elder nodded repeatedly, clearly satisfied with the outcome.
"Hmph, Elder, Long Shangtian was just lucky this time. If there are no more Qi-raising pills for auction in the future, this place will still be unusable," Long Xiao said grimly.
Before the Grand Elder could speak, Leng Yun continued, "At the same time, ten Qi-raising pills will be auctioned here once a month."
This made everyone even more excited. Although the auction of 10 Qi-Boosting Pills might be more expensive, the quantity was still huge.
Any faction can enhance its strength as long as it has enough Qi-Boosting Pills, so even though they are sold in pharmacies and auction houses, it is conceivable that the demand for Qi-Boosting Pills will still exceed the supply.
Long Xiao was utterly disappointed, and his legs went weak, causing him to slump onto the stool.
The Grand Elder applauded repeatedly, and his attitude towards Long Shangtian improved considerably.
After a long time, the crowd calmed down, and the auction continued.
The following items, while decent, were still far inferior to the Qi-Boosting Pill.
The last item up for auction was a seemingly ordinary stone.
Long Shangtian said that this stone was obtained from the gambling stone field in the north. As for what's inside, it all depends on one's own perspective.
Jade gambling is a very common thing here. It tests people's vision. Some people can win big with a small investment and become rich overnight, while others can lose tens of millions by misjudging the market.
When the topic of jade gambling sites comes up, everyone pays more attention to this unremarkable stone.
Leng Yun took out the Guanyin Purple Lantern, a magical lantern that could illuminate the heavens and understand the universe, and naturally could see through the stones outside.
Through a beam of purple light, Leng Yun saw a strange piece of iron hidden inside. Although he didn't know what it was, Leng Yun knew it was definitely not an ordinary object.
"I'll take this for 5000 taels," the Third Elder of the Sanqing Sect continued, his tone now colder.
When the Third Elder spoke up again, the people in the other private rooms dared not make any further moves.
After all, they were members of the Three Pure Ones Sect, and they had already clashed with the Third Elder once before over the Qi-raising pill.
This time, for a stone whose contents were unknown, naturally no one wanted to offend the Third Elder.
However, Leng Yun was also very interested in this piece of iron.
"I suppose no one will compete with me for it now," the Third Elder said irritably.
"Ten Qi-Boosting Pills," Leng Yun stated his price calmly.
In his eyes, ten Qi-Boosting Pills were worthless, but for these people, the price of ten Qi-Boosting Pills was astronomical; the previous five pills had already reached that price.
Everyone was speechless, looking at Leng Yun with envy at her generosity.
The people in the private room were all ashamed of themselves.
The Third Elder's face was extremely ugly. He hadn't expected that someone would always be competing with him today. However, since he was facing Leng Yun, the creator of the Qi-raising pill, the Third Elder dared not be negligent. On the contrary, he treated Leng Yun with great respect.
“Since Brother Leng Yun wants this stone, then naturally I won’t compete for it,” the Third Elder said with a smile.
Leng Yun gave a cold laugh: "Then thank you very much, Third Elder."
The auction then came to an end, much to everyone's surprise.
Long Shangtian and the others thanked Leng Yun and gave him most of the wealth they had acquired.
Leng Yun didn't stand on ceremony and directly converted it into experience points.
Soon after, he discovered another way to gain experience points. By continuously selling Qi-Boosting Pills, he could acquire countless riches. Leng Yun would then convert the bulk of these riches into experience points. Although the experience points gained each time were small, it was a steady and long-term approach. The experience points would accumulate every day, and he didn't need to do anything himself.
Leng Yun opened the stone he had obtained from the auction and finally saw what was inside: a thin slice, neither gold nor iron, made of a special material.
Upon closer inspection, Leng Yun discovered that it was actually a map, but it was incomplete, only a quarter of it.
“This must be the legendary treasure map,” Du Linfeng said.
Leng Yun asked curiously, "What treasure map?"
"Legend has it that in the center of the Ten Thousand Valleys, there is a huge treasure. Whoever finds this treasure will be able to unify the Ten Thousand Valleys," Du Linfeng said.
“Yes, there are four maps of this treasure; this is just one of them,” Xiaolan said.
Everyone in the Ten Thousand Valleys knows this legend, except for Leng Yun, an outsider who is unaware of it. By chance, he obtained a map.
In the following days, Leng Yun and Du Linfeng began preparing to enter the Elder Peak of the Three Pure Ones Sect, which was the most mysterious place in the sect and Leng Yun's final destination.
That evening, Dr. Hong came to Leng Yun with a worried look on his face.
Leng Yun asked with amusement, "What's wrong? Are the Qi-Boosting Pills not selling well?"
Dr. Hong sighed, "It's good, but most of the profits from the Qi-Boosting Pill went to you. My pharmacy didn't see much improvement. Apart from gaining some brand recognition, most people still came to buy the Qi-Boosting Pill."
“Dr. Hong, I have an idea,” Du Yuan said.
Dr. Hong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked what the solution was.
“It’s very simple. You can set a rule that only the top five customers at your pharmacy are eligible to buy Qi-Boosting Pills,” Lin Yuan said.
Dr. Hong slapped his forehead: "Yes, how come I didn't think of such a method? Brother Lin Yuan, you really are a good prospect for doing business."
Leng Yun smiled faintly. It seemed that Lin Yuan was quite talented in business.
The next day, Leng Yun entered Elder Peak as promised.
Besides him, there were also Du Linfeng, Xiao Lan, and A Qing from the same group.
These individuals were already well-known among the disciples of Elder Peak. They were the team with the most points in the history of the Three Pure Ones Sect, and none of them were blacklisted experts.
This made everyone wonder what kind of team this was.
Although you enter Elder Peak, it won't be so easy to meet the elders of the Three Pure Ones Sect.
They were greeted by several older disciples.
The leader was dressed in a long white robe, expressionless, and looked somewhat sinister.
"Are you the newcomers?" the visitor asked.
Leng Yun nodded indifferently, indicating that he was not a friendly person.
“My surname is Li, and my name is Li Yang. I am a junior elder here,” Li Yang said, his attitude cold and sinister.
Leng Yun was surprised that Li Yang could become an elder at such a young age; he must be extraordinary.
