Earth-Grade Pill.
Earth Level.
Qin Tian wore a joyful expression, completely surprised that after failing six times, he was finally able to succeed.
"Senior, I shouldn't be embarrassed, right?"
Qin Tian was unsure if failing six times counted as embarrassing.
However, the Martial God Senior understood what this truly meant.
"You little rascal, embarrassed? Do you know what the Earth-Level Pill represents?"
The Martial God Senior couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Who would have thought that a complete novice who had never refined a pill could directly produce an Earth-Level Pill after six failures?
That was an Earth-Level Pill, after all!
It was simply unbelievable!
You see, even he himself had only accidentally refined an Earth-Level Pill three or four years into his own Alchemy practice.
This achievement had excited him for most of his life.
In comparison, it was clear who stood above and who fell below.
The gap between Qin Tian and others was immense.
"Is this for real?"
Even Qin Tian himself couldn't believe that he was able to refine a pill of such caliber.
"Focus on refining the pills!" Martial God Senior urged Qin Tian, standing by his side.
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
Once the materials were refined, Qin Tian exchanged them for Merit Points.
The completion of the Nine Dragons Hall had brought him over a hundred thousand Merit Points.
In just three days, all of it was spent.
However, after consuming those hundred thousand Merit Points, Qin Tian was left with a total of seven batches of Earth-Level Pills.
Seven batches!
This number astonished even Martial God Senior.
If this were to get out, not to mention the entire Xuan Yang Sword Sect, even across the Southern Land, there would be very few individuals with such talent.
Who would dare to believe it?
This was merely a novice who had just begun learning Alchemy?
It was simply unfair to the other Alchemists.
Without Merit Points, Qin Tian's supply of medicinal materials had also run dry.
With no other choice, he could only bring these seven batches of Earth-Level Pills to Starry Sky City.
Starry Sky City.
Purple Sun Auction House.
It was still this place, but this time no one dared to look down on Qin Tian.
He had won the championship in the Nine-Man Battle.
He had furiously defeated the Three Great Prodigies of Lingxu Daozong.
Now, Qin Tian had become the unique Heavenly Pride among the Three Sects.
No one dared to underestimate him.
Of course, Qin Tian chose not to hide his identity, primarily to ensure he could sell these pills for a good price.
After all, with a different status, the level of attention from the Auction House was entirely different.
If one were to conceal their identity and disguise themselves as a newcomer, perhaps even something as precious as the Earth-Level Pill would be forced to lower its price.
Qin Tian did not have much time to waste.
Guided by several maidservants, Qin Tian arrived at the third floor of the Purple Sun Auction House.
An elderly man was already seated there, smiling warmly.
"Young Brother Qin, welcome! Your presence brightens our humble abode!"
The old man was naturally a senior elder of the Purple Sun Auction House, well-respected and seasoned in his experience.
Upon hearing that Qin Tian was coming to trade pills, this elder had personally come to greet him.
Although Qin Tian was not at the level of the Three Sect Elders, he was nonetheless the foremost figure of the younger generation.
This status was enough for the Purple Sun Auction House to send someone of his caliber to welcome him.
It was a sign of respect.
"Elder."
Qin Tian, of course, did not know the name of this elder and could only respectfully clasp his fists in greeting.
"Well, I wonder what kind of pill Brother Qin is here to trade today?"
The elder got straight to the point without any hesitation.
"To be honest, I have a rather special pill here. I hope the elder can take a look."
Qin Tian took out one of the Seventh-Grade Pills from his pocket and placed it on the table.
The elder initially showed little reaction, but the moment he laid eyes on the pill, his entire face turned crimson.
He solemnly picked up the pill and examined it for a full minute before reluctantly putting it down.
"Spirit Qi Pill, Earth Level quality."
The Spirit Qi Pill itself was quite common, a type of ordinary pill available on the market. It was essential for practitioners at the Qi Control Realm for healing and absorbing spiritual energy.
Ordinary Spirit Qi Pills were not expensive and were not considered special. However, the Earth Level quality made all the difference.
Its meaning, however, was entirely different.
One could say that this was no longer just a Spirit Qi Pill.
It was a Breakthrough.
This elder was also an Alchemist.
Having immersed himself in this path for decades, he had never been able to refine a pill of Earth Level quality.
What he lacked was a Breakthrough.
This pill seemed to open a great door right before his eyes.
The excitement nearly took his breath away.
“May I ask, where did this pill come from?”
The old man spoke out in his excitement.
But he instantly felt he had overstepped, and could only smile awkwardly.
“Apologies, apologies! I lost my composure.”
Qin Tian smiled lightly but did not speak.
Looking at Qin Tian's calm face, the elder hesitated.
He examined it again, this time even lightly scraping off a bit of the powder.
He placed it in his mouth.
It melted instantly.
A powerful surge of spiritual energy rushed in from his mouth, coursing through his Viscera.
It truly was Earth Level!
Looking at the pill in his hand, it had clearly lost some of its luster.
The old man felt like crying without tears.
There was only one.
It was too precious.
However, he was still far from grasping the essence of the Earth-Level Pill.
"What price do you have in mind?"
The old man asked eagerly.
Qin Tian thought for a moment and then held out three fingers in front of him.
The old man hesitated for a moment, a struggle evident in his eyes.
"How about a lower price, two hundred thousand Spirit Stones?"
The moment the words fell, Qin Tian's heart jolted.
He had clearly wanted thirty thousand Spirit Stones.
How did it turn into three hundred thousand in the old man's mouth?
The value of an Earth-Level Pill was unexpectedly high.
Fortunately, he hadn't directly stated thirty thousand.
Otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss.
While Qin Tian felt a lingering fear, the elder beside him noticed the hesitation on Qin Tian's face.
"Two hundred thirty thousand."
He gritted his teeth.
Qin Tian sighed.
"Two hundred fifty thousand."
He looked at Qin Tian with anticipation.
However, to his surprise, a cold smile flashed across Qin Tian's face.
It seemed to mock his ignorance.
"Little brother, although Earth-Level Pills are rare and hard to come by, decades ago, one was auctioned here for five hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones. But that was a Divine Connection Pill, the key elixir for entering the Divine Connection Realm.
For cultivators at the Qi Control Realm, pills that replenish spiritual energy and heal injuries are not considered scarce. Even the lowest quality ones can be used by Qi Control Realm practitioners. So, the price really isn't that high."
The old man was almost in tears.
His lifespan was already limited.
At most, he had another twenty years left.
His lifelong hope had been to refine an Earth-Level Pill.
Now, this hope lay right before him.
How could he let it slip through his fingers?
"How about two hundred and eighty thousand spirit stones?"
Seeing that Qin Tian remained silent, the old man gritted his teeth and finally settled on the highest price he could accept.
Not a single spirit stone more would he be willing to pay.
"Alright. Two hundred eighty thousand Spirit Stones."
Qin Tian nodded, pretending to look pained.
Who would have thought that beneath his facade of distress lay a heart filled with ecstasy?
What a windfall!
One piece for two hundred eighty thousand Spirit Stones.
He had dozens of them!
If he sold them all, how much would that be?
Over ten million Spirit Stones?
"By the way, young brother. Do you have any other Earth-Level Pills? I can purchase them at the same price."
Seeing Qin Tian holding the Cosmic Bag and preparing to leave, the old man looked up at him with eager anticipation.
"I really don't have any more. You know how rare Earth-Level Pills are. If it weren't for my urgent need for Spirit Stones, I wouldn't dream of selling them. These are meant to be treasures for my future descendants."
Qin Tian sighed, feeling the pain as he swiftly left the Purple Sun Auction House with the Cosmic Bag.
"You really know how to put on an act."
Seeing Qin Tian like this, the Martial God Senior couldn't help but curse.
It was utterly disgusting.
This acting was so convincing that if it weren't for Martial God Senior knowing the truth, he might have been deceived as well.
"I have no choice. However, reality has taught me a lesson. Fortunately, I wasn't foolish enough to take out all the Seventh-Grade Pills at once. Otherwise, I might not be able to get out of this door."
It seemed that the task of selling the pills in his possession was quite tricky. Selling all the Seventh-Grade Pills was impossible now. He would have to settle for selling whatever he could.
Qin Tian was right.
Earth-Level Pills were exceedingly rare among the Three Sects.
If he suddenly produced dozens from seven furnaces, it wouldn't just be a matter of how high a price he could sell them for.
At that point, he might have his life but wouldn't be able to spend it.
"Next, I need to disguise myself. Martial God Senior, please help me!"
Qin Tian understood that his disguise would surely be seen through by those powerful figures.
Only Martial God Senior's disguise could help him evade everyone.
After wandering through several streets, an ugly, stout fellow slowly emerged from a secluded alley.
It was Qin Tian.
He planned to use his new identity at the Purple Sun Auction House.
Even the Ziyang Immortal Sect wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
However, after changing identities, things wouldn't be so easy.
In fact, the price was unlikely to be as high as before.
But it didn't matter.
Qin Tian had no interest in these pills.
As long as there were enough medicinal materials, he could have as many as he wanted.
The key issue was how many could actually be sold.
This time, he was greeted by an ordinary Shopkeeper.
The man appeared to be in his fifties or sixties.
However, his cultivation level was only at the Channeling Realm.
Clearly, his status wasn't very high.
"What pills do you want to sell?"
The Shopkeeper yawned and looked disdainfully at the fat man in front of him.
To be honest, after spending so much time as a Shopkeeper...
He had encountered many peculiar individuals, some of whom were just looking for trouble.
The quality of the pills was simply subpar.
They insisted on bringing them, trying to pass off the inferior goods as something worthwhile.
Reluctantly hosting them, the mood of the Shopkeeper was far from pleasant.
"If the quality is lacking, heh, I won't go easy on you."
The Shopkeeper was already in a bad mood today and was just looking for a target to vent his frustrations.
"This pill shouldn't be too bad."
Qin Tian smiled slightly and pulled out a pill from his pocket.
As soon as the pill was taken out, a wave of intense heat surged forward.
The yawning Shopkeeper instantly felt more awake.
"What is this... Earth-Level Pill?"
The Shopkeeper jumped up, his attitude completely transformed from before.
"Please wait, I'll go fetch Alchemist Master Gu for identification."
With that, the Shopkeeper hurriedly fled the room.
"I remember, the elder who quoted me a price before seemed to be an Alchemist. Could it be him?"
Qin Tian smiled in disbelief.
He was curious to see how these people would treat him if he set aside his identity.
Before long, a familiar smiling face came into view.
It was indeed the old man who had bought a pill from Qin Tian before.
"Are you the one selling pills?"
The old man approached and said bluntly.
"Yes. That's me!"
