I can gather experience beads

"Old elixir recipe, new elixir recipe?"

After listening to what Sun Ming said.

Although Cao Rui was quite confident in his knowledge of spiritual medicine.

However, Cao Rui still made up his mind to try his best to take a picture of the new pill recipe.

In the past few years, Cao Rui has purchased all the 0-level elixirs in the Alchemy Institute's warehouse.

He gained a wealth of basic elixir experience from the experience beads and considered himself as good as any alchemist.

But if by any chance the ancient elixir recipe cannot be updated successfully, then there will be big trouble.

Cao Rui didn't want to gamble.

Unless there is really no other way and Cao Rui doesn't want to make a wasted trip, he can only buy the ancient elixir recipe and go back to try it.

"Thank you, Manager Sun, for your guidance." Cao Rui bowed in thanks.

Sun Ming waved his hand and said, "Master Chen Dan, although this is the second time we have met, we feel like old friends. How about we still address each other as fellow Taoists in the future?"

In the world of cultivating immortals, the title of Daoist fellow is very magical.

Among immortal cultivators, when they first meet, they often address each other as fellow Taoists, which is a courtesy.

But after they became familiar with each other and developed feelings for each other, they began to call each other fellow Taoists. At this time, fellow Taoists meant people of the same path.

Although Sun Ming is a businessman among the immortal cultivators, Cao Rui still feels that he is worthy of making close friends.

It may also be that Sun Ming always gives Cao Rui the feeling of being his former good friend Chen Fugui.

The two have quite similar personalities.

"In that case, thank you very much, Brother Sun!"

Sun Ming laughed: "Haha, Brother Chen, you are too polite."

"There are still three days before the auction. Fellow Daoist Chen, why don't you stay in the guest room of my Danlingbao Pavilion and rest for three days?"

"The auction will start in three days, and Fellow Daoist Chen can just attend the auction directly."

Cao Rui thought about it, did not refuse, and nodded in agreement.

So, Sun Ming sent a maid with excellent appearance and figure to take Cao Rui to stay in the guest room of Danlingbao Pavilion.

Cao Rui was thinking about the recipe for the elixir at the auction, so he was not interested in this for the time being and pretended not to notice Sun Ming's hint.

The elixir recipe is related to Cao Rui's advancement to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage.

Cao Rui couldn't help but take it to heart.

Naturally, the maid left in disappointment.

For her, any elixir the immortal master gave her would benefit her greatly.

For three days, Cao Rui stayed in the guest room and did not go out.

During this time, Cao Rui glanced at the beast taming bag and found that Hei Yu seemed to be making progress.

I communicated with Hei Yu in the beast taming bag, but got no response.

Come to think of it, Cao Rui has fed Hei Yu countless Huanglong Pills during this period of time.

Being able to follow the alchemist Cao Rui, the thing that Hei Yu has no shortage of is elixirs.

In this case, it is not surprising that Heiyu starts his promotion.

The advancement of a first-level monster to a second-level monster is equivalent to the advancement of humans from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Building Stage, and it cannot be taken lightly.

After thinking about it, Cao Rui took out one thousand spirit stones and one hundred Yellow Dragon Pills and placed them between the wings of Black Feather in the beast taming bag.

In this way, it will naturally take it on its own if it has a need.

"Wish you all the best."

The promotion of a spirit beast depends entirely on its own ability, and Cao Rui can only provide some help to the best of his ability.

Three days passed by in a flash.

This day.

The first day of the new year in the mundane world.

The auction jointly organized by Qingling Xiuxian Market and Danling Baoge has finally officially started.

This year, Cao Rui has unknowingly turned 26 years old.

At the age of 26 and in the ninth level of Qi Refining, Cao Rui's cultivation speed is not much slower than that of many people with single spiritual roots.

Most people in the Spirit Beast Sect believe that Cao Rui, the head of the Alchemy Institute, has extremely strong spiritual roots and natural talents.

Only Cao Rui himself knew how poor his spiritual talent was. He could only have achieved what he has today through his hard work and practice.

That day, Cao Rui left his bedroom early and went to the auction venue.

The auction venue was set up in a square not far from Danlingbao Pavilion.

A high platform was built in the square as a viewing platform for the host and auction items.

The row directly opposite is the seats for those participating in the auction.

There is an independent VIP box on the second floor.

After showing his VIP token, Cao Rui was taken to VIP Room No. 16 by the maid.

Although VIP Room No. 16 is not the VIP room in the center, it is located on a high ground and has a good view.

The room was furnished with free spiritual tea and spiritual fruit, as well as servants who were specially responsible for helping to report price tags, which was extremely convenient.

This was provided free of charge by Sun Ming, and Cao Rui was already satisfied.

As the auction time approaches.

The auction venue was gradually filled with people.

As the host, Sun Ming has already started to warm up the atmosphere at the auction stage.

The VIP room was separated from the noise in the conference hall, but it only recorded Sun Ming's voice, so it seemed very quiet.

Soon, it was eight o'clock.

Sun Ming struck the small bell in front of him. The small bell should be a magic weapon. It was not big in size, but the sound it made was extremely crisp and could be heard throughout the entire auction venue.

Cao Rui who was in the VIP room could also hear it clearly.

The first auction item is the highlight, a second-level alchemy furnace!

This furnace has a simple shape and is made entirely of rare cloud-patterned black iron. A faint cloud-patterned luster flows on the surface, as if it contains the mysterious way between heaven and earth.

Sun Ming began to introduce the second-level alchemy furnace beside him.

"This alchemy furnace is called the 'Cloud Pattern Mysterious Fire Furnace'. It is a second-level alchemy furnace. Its body is engraved with complex runes and formations. These runes can automatically operate when refining pills, helping to improve the quality and success rate of the pills."

The "Cloud Pattern Mysterious Fire Furnace" contains spiritual fire, the flame is light blue, and the temperature is adjustable. Its unique spiritual fire also has the ability to purify impurities and enhance the efficacy of medicine, making the elixir produced by the furnace purer and more efficient..."

In the VIP room, Cao Rui looked at the alchemy furnace from the dual perspectives of an equipment refiner and an alchemist.

From the perspective of an alchemist, the function of this furnace is very good. It improves the success rate and quality. However, its function is so powerful that it may require the magic power of the foundation-building period to fully control it and bring out the full effect of this furnace.

From the perspective of a weapon refiner.

Cao Rui clearly saw traces of failed formation engraving on one side of the furnace.

This is not a perfect second-level alchemy furnace.

However, carving a second-level magic circle is very difficult, and carving failure is common. This can only be regarded as a minor mistake.

The worst first-level magic weapon is sold at more than three hundred spirit stones, and the second-level magic weapon is sold at more than three thousand spirit stones. The alchemy furnace is definitely an expensive item among the second-level magic weapons.

Sun Ming announced the starting price for the ‘Cloud Pattern Mysterious Fire Furnace’: three thousand spirit stones!

Such a low starting price naturally caused crazy bidding from the monks present.

Although Cao Rui was tempted, he knew that he came here today for the recipe.

Therefore, I suppressed the impulse in my heart and did not bid.

After dozens of rounds of bidding, this second-level magical furnace was finally bought at a high price by a bidder in the VIP room.

Cao Rui guessed that the bidder was most likely an alchemist, and possibly an alchemist in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After the guests have purchased the items, the auction staff will deliver the items directly to the guests in the VIP room, and the money will be exchanged for the items.

At the auction table, Sun Ming began to introduce the next item.
