Chapter 55: Verify the Effect

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Huan stretched out his right hand and waved it lightly across the table. The next moment, a black wooden box appeared out of thin air on the table.

Looking at the black box on the table, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly, then turned his brown eyes, with a slightly suspicious look, and swept back and forth several times between Xu Huan, who was wrapped tightly in black, and the black box containing Tongmai Dan.

"Sir, forgive me for being blunt, but we at Tianzhen Pavilion do not auction ordinary elixirs. If you want to sell them, you can go out and turn left, and go to the room with a sign saying 'Consignment Office', so that we can consign them in the normal sales area during the day." The middle-aged man showed a hint of impatience on his face, seemingly respectful, but in fact he refused in a faint voice with a little indifference.

With the middle-aged man's spiritual cultivation, he did not sense the unique aura of an alchemist from the man in the bamboo hat sitting in front of the table. He did not sense the aura of being immersed in medicinal materials and pills, which made him not think that the man in the bamboo hat was an alchemist.

Alchemists are of noble status, even a first-level alchemist is enough to be received respectfully by the middle-aged man, but he thought that the man in the bamboo hat in front of him was obviously not one of them. The slight unhappiness that arose in his heart because his lazy and relaxed state was suddenly interrupted made him want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

"Haha, I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious. This is not an ordinary pill!" Hearing this, Xu Huan was not annoyed. He was very clear about the rules of Tianzhen Pavilion, and immediately responded cheerfully.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man exclaimed softly, the suspicion in his eyes still remained, but there was also a hint of inquiry.

Smiling silently, Xu Huan stretched out his right hand and opened the black box, revealing hundreds of colorful round pills wrapped in yellow beeswax. He then explained in a deep voice, "The Tongmai Pill has the following function: first, it can open up the Qi channels for those who cannot sense the Qi, thereby guiding the Qi into the body and embarking on the path to immortality. Second, it can increase the success rate of breaking through to the Qi level by 50% for those who are nine-meridian Qi disciples."

"Puff~" The middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh as if he had heard something funny. He was actually laughing out of anger, but his professionalism helped him suppress his anger and prevent him from losing his temper. He simply waved his hand and said calmly, "I've been at Tianzhen Pavilion for over twenty years and have never heard of such a miraculous first-grade elixir. If you want to sell this elixir, please go and set up a stall yourself."

What you mean is, if this elixir is really as magical as you said, it must be at least a mid-to-high-level elixir. If you want to come to Tianzhen Pavilion to cheat people, and the guards didn't kick you out, you should just get out of here on your own initiative.

Xu Huan had already expected the other party to say this. If it were him, he would definitely not believe it if he did not know that this elixir came from the alchemy manual passed down by the immortal-level forces in the ancient times.

"I believe you must have heard that the city lord's nephew, Xu Huan, opened up his first meridian. To be honest, it was because he took the Tongmai Pill." Xu Huan lied calmly and used himself as an example to find an excuse for being able to practice.

At the same time, he reached out and took out two Tongmai Pills from the box. With a little force, he gently broke off the beeswax wrapping, revealing two pills inside, one gold and one red. Xu Huan then continued to add under the middle-aged man's surprised gaze, "You need to take the corresponding gold, green, blue, red, and yellow Tongmai Pill according to your individual elemental element of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Otherwise, it will have no effect and may even lead to insanity and death."

The middle-aged man saw the relevant announcement about Xu Huan becoming a disciple of Qi before dinner. At first he didn't believe it, because no one could draw Qi into the body after the age of sixteen. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the City Lord's Mansion would not make false propaganda.

Now that he heard about the Tongmai Pill and recalled Xu Huan's story, the middle-aged man began to have some faith in the pill in the box.

If this were true, then this Tongmai Pill would be a treasured elixir that would cause a sensation in Wuling City, and even throughout the Five Spirits Empire. The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He held his chin in his hand and pondered for a moment before speaking in a serious tone, "Sir, could you please allow me to take this pill to the steward to explain it and have an alchemist appraise it? If it's genuine, we'll arrange for it to be auctioned tonight."

Hearing this, Xu Huan nodded to show his agreement, then stretched out his right hand, closed the black box with a "snap", and placed the two unsealed Tongmai Pills on the surface of the box, and gently pushed it in front of the middle-aged man.

"Think of these two pills as a free gift from Tianzhen Pavilion. You can use them to verify their effects." Seeing Xu Huan's cheerful expression, the middle-aged man blinked, and the slight unhappiness in his eyes instantly disappeared. He immediately smiled and said respectfully, "Thank you, sir."

"Yeah." Xu Huan responded softly, then raised his hand to press down his hat, no longer paying attention to the middle-aged man, and stood up and left the room, heading towards the auction hall in the inner field.

……

"Please come in, sir!"

Amid the respectful voices of four pretty maids in red, Xu Huan leisurely stepped into the inner court.

Tianzhen Pavilion covers a vast area, and its inner auction venue is also quite large, in the shape of a semicircle. The innermost part is the auction platform, and the arc area is the guest area. At a glance, it looks like a small Wuling City Square, large enough to seat thousands of people.

Although the auction had not yet begun, most of the people in the venue had already taken their seats. Xu Huan's eyes moved slightly, and he saw Lin Youwei holding Huahua sitting in the VIP seat in the front row. He immediately found a middle seat where more people dressed in black were, walked over, and sat down safely.

The lights in the seating area were dim, but on the auction platform, a clear white light descended from the sky, shining on a woman in blue on the platform.

Xu Huan recognized the identity of the woman in blue at a glance. She was a pipa master in Wuling City.

I saw a woman in blue sitting quietly on a small stool, holding an ancient pipa in her hand, her fingertips sliding leisurely across the strings, and she was concentrating on playing the classical piece "Spring River Moon Night".

A soft and graceful melody, like a trickle of water, flowed out from the dancing fingers, rippling in the air, floating into the ears of those present, like clear and bright raindrops, dripping on everyone's heart, gentle and elegant.

Everyone leaned lazily back in their chairs and slowly closed their eyes. In the melodious sound, they seemed to hear a bright moon rising from the east mountain on a quiet spring night, gently casting its moonlight on a small boat drifting slowly on the river, and the shadows of the flowers on the shore swayed gently, layer upon layer, fascinating.

Witness the fiery passion outside the field and experience the tenderness inside the field.

Half a minute later, when the pipa music stopped, everyone could still feel the notes lingering in their ears. They were deeply immersed in the auditory feast just now and did not open their eyes for a long time.

After a long while, when the bell rang to officially start the auction, Xu Huan opened his eyes along with everyone else and cast an expectant glance towards the auction platform at the innermost side.

As the lights moved, an elegant figure holding a round fan walked slowly onto the platform.
