Chapter 15: Auction of Pills
As the saying goes, a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, and the reverse means that what is truly precious cannot be measured by money. In the eyes of Xuyun Lao Dao, the elixir in Ye Qiuli's hand is this kind of thing that cannot be measured by money, no matter how much emphasis is placed on its value, it is not too much, no matter who gets it, he will treasure it well, and he will never use it easily until necessary.
And now, Ye Qiuli actually said that he would take out the peerless elixir in exchange for secular funds, how could he not be shocked inexplicably, unbelievable! This kind of tyrannical destruction of heavenly things is definitely an act of being a loser who can't be a loser anymore, if Ye Qiuli is a disciple of their Wudang Sect, no matter how strong his cultivation strength is, this old Taoist may have slapped him on the spot!
As for the rare treasures that Ye Qiuli said later, Xuyun Lao Dao felt that a gust of wind was blowing in his ears, and he didn't pay attention to it at all. As a martial arts veteran, he naturally knew that there were not many treasures that could be used in the families of the various sects now, and those that could be used had already been used up, and the rest were all "Nine Changes of the Fish and Dragon" and the like, which were very famous, but there were not many things that were actually useful, and it was not worth wasting those precious elixirs at all.
From himself to others, Xuyun Lao Dao was afraid that Ye Qiuli would be stimulated by something, so he made this decision in a hurry without careful thinking, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Ah! Young man, please think twice, don't make a hasty decision, so as not to regret it when the time comes! If the young man is in urgent need of money, I, Wudang, can fully support one or two, and I don't need to use those extremely precious elixirs." One of those things is one less!"
"Hehe, thank you for the reminder, and thank you for your kindness. This is indeed a decision made after careful consideration, and I will definitely not regret it, nor will it cause trouble to your faction. Seeing that Xuyun Lao Dao spoke to dissuade him, Ye Qiuli couldn't help but secretly praise this old Tao for being a good person, but he didn't change his mind because of this, and after a simple thanks, he still made it clear that he would continue to auction the elixir.
Everyone's vision is different, and the way of looking at the problem is naturally different, as a true cultivator, these ordinary pills are not rare at all in Ye Qiuli's opinion, they are all low-level goods that can be refined at will after having the materials, and there is no pity at all. Moreover, the reason why he was refining these pills at that time was for training and auctioning, at this time, the plan had already crossed the door, and if he went back, wouldn't it be a trip in vain, that was not his code of conduct.
"Well, since the young man insists on this, then the old way will not say more. I don't know which pills Shaoxia wants to auction, if it's convenient, can I Wudang buy them first?" Seeing that Ye Qiuli insisted on auctioning off the pills, Xuyun Lao Dao no longer persuaded him, and instead started the idea of having the Wudang faction give priority to Bao Yuan. They never have too many of these miraculous elixirs.
Speaking of which, a problem that can be solved with money is never a problem. This kind of opportunity to get a large number of elixirs is definitely a special situation that is rare once in a hundred and ten years, once you miss this village, you may no longer have this shop, naturally you have to seize the opportunity, and make a move when it is time to sell, since Ye Qiuli wants to sell it, the Wudang faction naturally has to try its best to buy it. Hands are fast, hands are slow, this kind of truth is known to everyone.
"Damn, this old Dao's appetite is really big, and he actually wants to monopolize them all?!" Hearing Xuyun Lao Dao's words, Ye Qiuli naturally knew what his idea was, although it was not easy to refuse openly, but after hesitating for a moment, he said: "The Wudang faction can naturally buy first, but there are more things brought this time, and there are hundreds of various pills in total, I'm afraid that Wudang will not be able to support it alone!"
Although the Wudang Sect was very welcome to participate in the auction, Ye Qiuli obviously didn't want them to take advantage of it exclusively, if there was no competition, how could his pills be sold for the highest price?
"Ahh Thinking about it again, thinking of the origin of so many pills, this old Taoist was even more shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the young man has mastered the ancient method of alchemy?"
It's no wonder that Xuyun Lao Dao was horrified, this question is really too important. If this speculation is true, it must be a huge discovery that is enough to detonate the martial arts, which is no less than throwing a huge boulder on the surface of a calm lake like a mirror, which can definitely set off a monstrous wave, bringing a violent impact to the declining rivers and lakes like a pool of stagnant water, and instantly changing the situation of the martial arts that has been peaceful for a long time.
Although most of the people who practice martial arts are familiar with medical skills, and alchemy medicine is also one of the necessary means to walk the rivers and lakes, what they can make is some gold sore medicine, heart protection pills and other powders and pills for the treatment of bruises or minor internal injuries, those panaceas that are reborn and resurrected, have basically been completely lost, and almost all of them have become legendary existences, and not many people have seen them again.
Up to now, even the big and small pills of Shaolin Temple can be regarded as one of the only remaining elixirs in the martial arts, and the number has always been very rare, which shows the cherishment and rarity of the best elixir. It's not that the various factions in the rivers and lakes don't want to refine those top-level elixirs with extraordinary effects, but the alchemy is too mysterious and profound, and without the inheritance and guidance of famous teachers, they will not be able to figure out their heads at all and find a way.
In fact, every time martial arts flourishes, there will be martial arts sects that try ancient alchemy, hoping to refine those legendary elixirs. It's just that after countless attempts, except for a few lucky experiments such as Shaolin Temple that experimented with the refining methods of large and small pills, the vast majority of others ended up failing and gained nothing. In the end, in order not to waste the increasingly scarce Lingcao Xianzhi, all factions basically gave up the attempt at alchemy, and those superb elixirs were eventually drowned in the endless river of history, leaving only an ethereal figure for future generations to remember.
Today, after countless vicissitudes, those legendary elixirs have already become real legends, and no one has ever thought of refining them again. Just like the Pulp Cleansing Pill and Pei Yuan Pill that Ye Qiuli took out during the last transaction, Wudang also thought that it was the finished product he got from the ruins of his predecessors, and he never thought that it was refined by himself. At this time, hearing Ye Qiuli say that he was going to take out hundreds of elixirs for auction, Xuyun Lao Dao was shocked and naturally had doubts about the source of the elixir, guessing whether he had learned the long-lost ancient alchemy method.
Seeing that Xuyun Lao Dao had this guess, Ye Qiuli did not deny it, and quickly nodded with a smile to confirm: "What the Dao Chief said is good, it is indeed a little bit easier to understand the way of alchemy, and these pills are also carefully refined after searching the famous mountains and rivers and collecting countless precious materials. ”
At this time, Ye Qiuli was not worried about whether he would be guilty of his crimes after exposing his alchemy skills, which would cause some unnecessary trouble. After all, everyone knows that if you want to refine a truly magical elixir, in addition to having a correct and effective alchemy method, you also need to have enough and sufficient cherished materials as the basis.
And now on the earth, after the deterioration of the ecological environment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is lost, and the spiritual herb and elixir are scarce to almost extinction, which is also a well-known fact. Under the constraints of such conditions, even if the alchemy method is obtained, there is not much chance of success, because ordinary people cannot meet the requirements of materials even if they use the strength of the whole country. Therefore, he was not afraid that others would have any covetous thoughts about the alchemy skills he had mastered.
Secondly, this is also a manifestation of Ye Qiuli's absolute confidence in his own strength and position. No matter what, he is also a congenital master, and he is also a figure at the top of the pyramid of human society, and how many people dare to use violent coercion against him?!
Ye Qiuli didn't have the idea of keeping the alchemy skills in his hands strictly confidential, but he didn't dare to leak the slightest bit of information about the cultivation techniques and cultivation resources that he could achieve immortality through cultivation, for fear of causing some uncontrollable trouble.
How great is the temptation of immortality to human beings? This can be seen from the history of countless emperors in ancient China who devoted themselves to the pursuit of immortality one after another, even at the cost of their lives.
Fear of death and the pursuit of the eternal continuation of life can be regarded as the first instinct of human beings, not to mention those ruling classes that have countless powers and interests? Ye Qiuli absolutely believes that as long as the news is leaked, those people living at the top of the pyramid of human society will definitely try their best to snatch those things in their hands into their hands, even if it causes a world war, they may not frown.
The richer the person, the more stingy the person, the more powerful the person is, the more reactionary the person is, the more selfish the person with status, the more tyrannical the person who is more powerful, and the more people are superior, the more lawless they are. Throughout the ages, there have been few people who have provoked a war for their own selfishness and desires?
