Chapter 1690 1694: Are You Really Going to Sell?
On this particular night, at the top of Zhang Menglong's alchemy room, series after series of tribulation thunders appeared. Each manifestation of thunder signified the birth of several Saint Grade elixirs. Moreover, these thunders did not necessarily appear in sequence, and could even appear two or three at a time, or more.
This implied that Zhang Menglong was not just crafting one type of elixir at a time but was simultaneously creating several different types. This notion for the current alchemy rooms was nothing short of a fantasy. If not for Black Mist and Black Meng seeing it with their own eyes, no one would believe someone could have reached such a monstrous level in alchemy.
However, this peculiar situation began to attract more attention. As word spread from one to ten to a hundred, it wasn't long before people knew that a mysterious alchemist had appeared in the sixth district, creating dozens of Saint Grade elixirs in one night. It was highly likely these elixirs were above a Level Five Saint Grade, with a perfect success rate, having never failed!
Despite Black Mist and Black Meng's intimidating presence preventing anyone from investigating, let alone blatantly robbing, the news spread as though on wings, reaching even the heart of the Skyless Realm.
"Try to recruit that master. If that's impossible, then kill him and bring all those elixirs back!"
"Black Mist and Black Meng? Aren't they the two elite bodyguards trained by that woman, Yao Yao? Hmph! They're merely newly advanced eighth-grade Divine Cultivators. Send more people; sheer numbers can overwhelm them!"
"Doesn't our organization have a few thousand Seventh Grade Divine Cultivators? No matter how skilled those two are, they can't protect that alchemist from thousands of Seventh Grade Divine Cultivators, can they?"
"Hmph, the Skyless Realm isn't a place of righteousness. If brute strength won't work, bury them with numbers!"
...
A whole host of forces within the Skyless Realm were gearing up this night. Even the 27 superpowers were feeling the itch. To maintain their image and prestige, they wouldn't openly snatch, yet privately they schemed their own plots.
Dozens of Saint Grade elixirs—in the Skyless Realm, perhaps even time wouldn't reveal such a significant number of high-grade elixirs. The temptation was undeniably irresistible.
Countless individuals surrounded the alchemy room, sealing every gap, but Zhang Menglong had already temporarily left with Black Menglong and Black Mist by his side.
"Sande, where are you?" Zhang Menglong contacted Yang Sande again.
"Oh, isn't it Mr. Gu," Yang Sande showcased a trademark smile, "I'm repairing the spaceship. Each journey takes a massive toll on it, and many parts need thorough maintenance."
"I need to inquire about a place. I have a batch of elixirs to sell. Inside the Skyless Realm, where can I get the best price and ensure my privacy?" asked Zhang Menglong.
"Oh, that's simple," replied Yang Sande, "You can directly contact the Black Rock Auction House. It's the largest and most authoritative in the Skyless Realm. They absolutely won't divulge any client information without permission, though their commission fees are a little higher."
"No problem. Do you have a contact there?"
"Yes, I actually have a friend working as a manager there. I can introduce you!"
"Yang Sande really is an all-knowing figure in the Skyless Realm." Zhang Menglong swiftly acquired information on the Black Rock Auction House manager; his name was Ren. Though not powerful, his capability at work was impressive, explaining his friendship with someone like Yang Sande.
The Black Rock Auction House maintained outlets in every district, with Ren permanently stationed in the Third District. Their operations combined both regular and non-regular auctions.
Regular auctions are held twice daily, once at noon and once in the evening. As for non-regular auctions, they can be sporadic, like the upcoming large-scale auction for teleportation quotas half a month from now.
"Are you Mr. Gu?" When Zhang Menglong entered the Third District store, Ren warmly welcomed him. Sande had spoken tremendously of him beforehand, raising Ren's interest in this deal.
Seeing the two profoundly powerful bodyguards behind Zhang Menglong further heightened Ren's first impression.
"Yes, I am!" Zhang Menglong chuckled, "Yang Sande should have briefed you about me, right?"
"Indeed, Mr. Gu," Ren replied, "So I won't waste time getting straight to business. What do you wish to auction this time? Our auction house can certainly get you a very satisfying price."
"A batch of Saint Grade elixirs!"
"Saint Grade elixirs? A batch?"
Ren was momentarily stunned. He'd seen elixirs sold before, but typically in units of one or two. Those auctioning even two were rare, so to use the term "batch" was indeed unprecedented.
"This way, please!" An elixir—yet alone a Saint Grade—was already significant business. And a batch, well, Ren promptly invited Zhang Menglong into a special room.
Ren instructed someone to bring a machine-like device, which was actually a pill testing tool. It could analyze an elixir's composition and grade. If the pill was in the database, specific information would also be provided, with nearly 100% accuracy.
"Mr. Gu, if you could place the pills for consignment into the machine for testing, I can estimate an approximate price range for you."
"Alright." With a wave of Zhang Menglong's hand, over 20 exquisite boxes appeared on the table. Each box contained 1 to 5 pills, with each of the 20 boxes containing different types of elixirs.
"So many!" Ren's voice was tinged with excitement. "You're selling all these?"
"Indeed," Zhang Menglong nodded, "We can discuss the price later. You can first test these elixirs."
"Please wait a moment," Ren dared not delay. A top-tier alchemist was not a presence the Skyless Realm could afford to offend.
Despite the Skyless Realm being tyrannical in the region, even surrounding empires found them hard to deal with.
But if a top-tier Saint Grade alchemist called upon hundreds or thousands of Ninth Grade Divine Cultivators, or even those beyond divine cultivation, even a united resistance would be torn apart.
Cautiously, Ren placed an elixir onto the testing platform, which immediately lit up with intricate patterns. This device wasn't purely technological; it likely included formations and runes.
Soon, golden fonts gradually appeared above the elixir.
Level Six Saint Grade Elixir: God King Pill
"God King Pill?" Ren quickly flipped through a compendium on elixirs and found the effects of this particular pill.
God King Pill: For martial artists below Seventh Grade Divine Cultivation, it can elevate them by one grade within three months without any side effects, consumable only once in a lifetime. In case of severe or dire injuries, it may trigger advancement by two ranks depending on pill quality, with chances ranging from 1% to 10%.
Pill Quality: Perfect
"This..." Ren almost hesitated to look at Zhang Menglong. "Mr. Gu, are you sure you wish to auction this pill?"
