Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 34 A Rank 6 Alchemist Certified by the Pill Tower

As the auction ended, the people in the auction hall gradually dispersed, but Lin Ran's private room became lively.

The first to step inside was naturally the woman from the Serpent's Palace.

The woman waved her battle aura wings and arrived directly outside Lin Ran's private room. Just as she was about to push the door open and enter, she seemed to remember something and smiled charmingly.

"Your Excellency, I am Elder Lü of the Heavenly Serpent Palace, and I have come to pay you a visit."

"Wait a minute, there are several more. It'll be easier to talk when they all come in together."

The voice of Little Fairy Doctor came from within, causing Elder Green to pause slightly, a hint of displeasure appearing in his eyes, but he still managed to suppress it: "What you say is absolutely right."

Within a few breaths, Gutt and Otto arrived one after another, while at the very end of the line, the president of the Black Rock Auction House stood to one side with extreme restraint, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead from time to time.

A moment later, Little Fairy Doctor opened the door, looked at the people standing at the door, her gaze lingering on Lin Fei, Xue Mei, and Elder Green. She snorted softly, turned around, and went back into the room.

"Come in, don't keep the young master waiting."

As the crowd filed in, the dimly lit private room, which wasn't exactly spacious, suddenly became slightly crowded.

But the crowd clearly didn't care about that; their gazes almost simultaneously fell on the figure sitting in the main seat.

"So young!"

Elder Green's pupils contracted slightly. Lin Ran's youthful appearance and rich aura were somewhat beyond her expectations, but she quickly recovered and smiled, "You are indeed a handsome and talented young man."

"..."

Lin Ran calmly opened his eyes, his gaze lingering briefly on Elder Green before turning to the president of the Black Rock Auction House in the far corner of the crowd.

Little Fairy Doctor understood immediately and spoke up, "President Wang, the auction is over. Are you here to settle the accounts?"

Yes, yes.

President Wang was under immense pressure. He wiped the sweat from his brow and took out a purple-gold card from his sleeve. The card had five different colored ripples drawn on it, along with a storage ring.

The Five-Patterned Purple Gold Card is something that only Dou Ling experts are qualified to obtain and carry on the Dou Qi Continent. The strongest person in Black Rock City is only a Dou Ling expert, so this is the highest-level savings card that can be obtained in Black Rock City.

"My lord, the total auction price of the three pills you sold is six million gold coins. After deducting the eight hundred thousand gold coins spent on the auction items and the ten percent auction fee, the remaining amount is four million six hundred thousand."

"And the items you auctioned are in this storage ring."

Lin Ran nodded slightly. Little Fairy Doctor respectfully stepped forward to accept the Five-Patterned Purple Gold Card and the storage ring. After examining them, she took out the medicinal herbs she had won at auction and presented them to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran casually put the Dragon Blood Chrysanthemum and the essence blood of the seventh-order Netherworld Python into his storage ring. He then waved his hand, and Little Fairy Doctor obediently put all the remaining medicinal herbs and the Purple Gold Card into her own storage ring.

Apart from these two items which were useful to Lin Ran, almost everything else at this auction consisted of poisonous medicinal herbs bought for Little Fairy Doctor. Rather than keeping them with him, it would be better to just give them to Little Fairy Doctor and let her cultivate them.

However, when this scene was witnessed by everyone, the way they looked at Little Fairy Doctor changed completely.

Such a valuable item was placed so casually beside a maid...

Was it because the maid and Lin Ran had such a good relationship, or was it because Lin Ran's background was so profound that he no longer cared about these things...?

"My lord, the items for the transaction are all here. I will not disturb you any longer and will take my leave."

The president wiped the sweat from his brow, trembling as he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, preparing to leave.

Although he is the president of this auction, he is only a minor Grand Master. No one here, regardless of status or strength, is inferior to him.

Living under the same roof with so many big shots is really tough.

Having received Lin Ran's approval, the president quickly withdrew, and Lin Ran also calmly turned his gaze to Elder Green.

"What kind of elixir do you want me to refine?"

"A sixth-grade elixir... wait, you mean you want to refine it yourself?!"

Elder Green spoke calmly, but before she could finish, she seemed to have discovered something extremely shocking. Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Lin Ran in disbelief: "You mean you want to personally refine the sixth-grade pill I need? You're an alchemist?"

"What, are you questioning my young master?!"

"No need."

Lin Ran calmly looked at Elder Green before him, stopping Little Fairy Doctor from swinging her little fist. He slightly raised his palm, and a wisp of crimson-gold flame shot out, burning in Lin Ran's palm.

"A physical flame, the mark of a fourth-grade alchemist... wait, that's...!"

Frank murmured, and suddenly his gaze became fixed on the burning crimson-gold flames, or rather, on the emblem within those flames.

It was a badge depicting an ancient medicine cauldron, upon which six strange, shimmering golden ripples undulated slightly, so bright they hurt the eyes.

"Six golden lines, the insignia of a sixth-grade alchemist!"

Otto exclaimed in surprise, and everyone present was stunned.

Six golden runes—in the world of alchemy, only sixth-grade alchemists are generally qualified to wear them. How could this boy, who looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, possibly possess them?!

"Sixth, a sixth-grade alchemist..."

Linfei was completely stunned at this moment, and even her beautiful legs were trembling. She could only stand up by leaning on Xuemei.

What kind of genius is this? No, the word "genius" is simply not enough to describe this young man; he is a monster!

A 17 or 18-year-old sixth-grade alchemist—not only in the Jia Ma Empire, but throughout the entire Northwest Continent, such a thing was unheard of.

"This badge indicates..."

Elder Green stared at the sixth-grade alchemist badge rising in the flames in Lin Ran's palm, and suddenly paused. The deliberate allure on her face vanished, and she asked in an uncertain tone, her voice trembling slightly.

"Your Excellency... no, sir, could this badge of yours be issued by the Danta...?"

"What, Danta?!"

"It's the Pill Tower!"

Otto and Frank stared wide-eyed, while Lin Ran glanced at Elder Green with surprise and nodded slightly.

"You also know about the Dan Tower?"

"Not bad, these were given to me by those old guys from Danta, but they're green with gold patterns, not very nice, so I've been too lazy to carry them with me."

Lin Ran spoke calmly, casually dispelling the flames in his palm and retrieving his sixth-grade alchemist badge.

"Tell me, what kind of pill do you want me to refine? And you should know the rules for us alchemists, right?"

The calm words echoed in the room, but everyone inside was completely dumbfounded, even Little Fairy Doctor stared blankly at Lin Ran in disbelief.

The Pill Tower… Young Master is actually a sixth-grade alchemist certified by the Pill Tower?!
