Chapter 370: Return to Yan City Auction House

After renting a room, Qin Ming sat on the bed in the room and planned carefully.

"The Secret Realm is about to open, and Yan City should gather many Martial Artists. The auctions will be very lively over the next two months. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I can auction some spirit plants and leverage my advantages as a Divine Rank Alchemist. I can also earn some Spirit Stones for the development of Shadow and the Sect."

Qin Ming had long wanted to acquire some Spirit Stones and High Grade spirit plants, but his cultivation had always limited him from doing so. Now, using the Pill God Physique, Qin Ming could reach the Martial King Realm.

A Martial King was already a figure of some standing; as long as he didn't reveal high-level perfect elixir, he didn't need to worry about his safety.

"Ordinary auctions feature fifth-grade spirit plants, so treasure auctions are very likely to have seventh-grade spirit plants. Then, the monthly auction at the beginning of the month might very well have ninth-grade spirit plants. If I can buy the ninth-grade spirit plants needed to refine the heart mending pill for Master, then I can completely cure Master."

The most important reason for Qin Ming coming out this time was not to participate in the Secret Realm, nor was it to kill Jue Wuya, but rather because the poison in Master Qing Yan's body could not be suppressed for much longer. Qin Ming needed to quickly find the spirit plants to refine the heart mending pill. Even if he couldn't find the spirit plants for the heart mending pill, he needed to first find a Medicinal Pill that could continue to suppress the poison in Master's body.

The Disciples of the Feather Transformation Sect were, after all, just youths. They couldn't help with something as big as trading ninth-grade spirit plants. Shadow still hadn't developed, mainly because it hadn't been created for very long.

No, Shadow also lacked the corresponding experts; the strongest was only Jue Wuya, a Martial Spirit. And to obtain information about ninth-grade spirit plants, those Martial Ancestor youths simply didn't have the qualifications.

Just like the ninth-grade spirit plant at the Qixin Sect last time, no news had spread at all. If Qin Ming hadn't happened to be inside the Secret Realm, he probably wouldn't have known that a ninth-grade spirit plant had appeared.

"This time, I must play a big game; Master cannot wait any longer." Qin Ming secretly made up his mind.

At noon the next day, Qin Ming finished Cultivating, left the hotel, and came to a secluded alley. After using 'Minds Eye' to investigate, Qin Ming took out a perfect elixir and a set of white robes from his space ring.

After consuming the Medicinal Pill and changing into the white robes, Qin Ming transformed into an elderly man. He walked out of the alley and headed straight for the Yan City Auction House.

Many people were going in and out of the Auction House gates, and it was extremely lively.

Qin Ming looked at the Auction House sign with his hands behind his back and walked in calmly.

"Hello, is there anything you need help with?" A maid wearing gray clothes came over to greet him.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "This old man is a Pill King and needs to auction some items. Little girl, help me find a qualified Appraiser."

Pill King? The entire Auction House began to whisper, and many people were secretly looking at Qin Ming.

There were some Pill Kings in Yan City, but they were all honored guests of various Families and rarely came to the Auction House. Generally, when they needed to auction things, they would have the Family handle it directly.

"Sir, please come this way." The maid respectfully led Qin Ming through several corridors. These corridors were guarded, and it was clear that ordinary people were not qualified to enter here.

Soon, they arrived at the door of a spacious room. The maid introduced, "Inside is our Auction House's top Appraiser, who is famous throughout the entire continent."

"Not bad." Qin Ming pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside, an old man with crane-like hair and a youthful face was sitting there, looking at Qin Ming with burning eyes.

"My name is Zhang Qinghong; you can call me Qinghong. I am the top Auctioneer of the Yan City Auction House."

"My name is Green Cliff Elder." Qin Ming sat opposite the old man and handed him three jade bottles. "These are the items I wish to auction today. Please appraise them."

"Good." The old man took the jade bottles and poured out a Medicinal Pill. "This is a fifth-grade perfect spirit gathering pill?"

"That's right. There are a total of one hundred Medicinal Pills here, all of which are perfect spirit gathering pills." Qin Ming smiled. During this time, Shadow had collected the spirit plants for refining spirit gathering pills, and Qin Ming had refined all of them, which was how he got the hundred spirit gathering pills.

Qin Ming had always hoped to obtain mutated Medicinal Pills, but unfortunately, after refining five furnaces of spirit gathering pills, no mutated Medicinal Pills had appeared.

Qin Ming also hoped to collect more Medicinal Pills at the Auction House this time, hoping that by relying on quantity, he could refine a mutated Medicinal Pill.

After such a long time of Alchemy, Qin Ming already knew the pattern of how mutated Medicinal Pills appeared.

Only when refining something that was entirely perfect elixir was there a probability of a mutated Medicinal Pill appearing. Sometimes they would appear for two furnaces in a row, and sometimes they wouldn't appear even after refining a thousand furnaces. Qin Ming had no idea about the inner workings of this pattern.

Mutated Medicinal Pills were extremely precious. Qin Ming had used mutated Medicinal Pills to raise the Spiritual Root of all the Disciples in the Sect to Medium Grade, which was why they could Cultivate to the Martial Ancestor Realm without any obvious Bottleneck.

And his younger sister, Qin Qing, was only able to Cultivate to the Martial Ancestor Realm because she had consumed Qin Ming's mutated Medicinal Pills. Otherwise, even if Qin Qing had an unlimited supply of Medicinal Pills provided by Qin Ming, it would have been impossible for her to Cultivate to the Martial Ancestor Realm so quickly.

Qin Ming had always hoped to be able to refine mutated Medicinal Pills to raise his younger sister's and parents' Spiritual Roots to High Grade. However, this might be a luxury wish. Since Qin Ming started Alchemy, the mutated Medicinal Pills that had appeared were either for increasing cultivation or increasing cultivation speed.

But there was only one type of Medicinal Pill that could raise the Spiritual Root.
