"Hey, where is everyone?"
However, when Ye Feng arrived at Leng Wufeng's courtyard, he found that there was no one inside the house.
"Ye Feng, are you looking for Leng Wufeng?"
At that moment, Old Bai's voice came from outside the house.
"Old Bai, have you seen Leng Wufeng?"
Ye Feng walked out of the house and quickly asked Old Bai, who was smiling in the courtyard.
"The sect's master found out that Leng Wufeng is a third-grade alchemist, so he took him to a nearby town early in the morning to buy spirit herbs.
Come on, I'll take you to find them."
Old Bai stroked his long white beard and explained with a smile.
***
"Old Bai, have you heard of Bamboo Demon Grass, White Soul Flower, and Purple Thunder Fruit?"
On the flying sword, Ye Feng started a conversation out of boredom.
"Huh?"
"You must have heard about these from Leng Wufeng. These three spirit herbs are extremely rare among third-grade spirit herbs. Although they are ranked as third-grade, they are priceless to alchemists."
Old Bai looked at Ye Feng with some surprise and explained.
"So they really are that precious. No wonder when I used these herbs to make tea and soak my feet, Junior Brother Wufeng said I was wasting them."
Thud!
Hearing this, the flying sword controlled by Old Bai wobbled slightly. He looked at Ye Feng with disbelief and said word by word, "You used these rare spirit herbs to soak your feet?"
"It felt amazing! Old Bai, if I get a chance, I'll get some for you to try. But you must never mix Bamboo Demon Grass and Purple Thunder Fruit together; they produce deadly poison."
Ye Feng said this with a serious reminder.
Who the hell cares if mixing those two herbs produces deadly poison!
Are those things really for soaking feet?
After the shock, Old Bai suddenly grinned and said, "Ye Feng, if you ever get those herbs again, make sure to save some for me."
If Luo Qianxue were here, she would definitely be exasperated again because Old Bai had been won over.
***
Five hours later, a town finally appeared in the distance.
"Ye Feng, you can stroll around the town first. I have some matters to attend to, and I'll come find you later."
After entering the town, Old Bai gave some instructions and then left.
What is the Four Seas Pavilion?
The Green Mountain Blacksmith Shop, that must be a place for crafting weapons.
The Wangchun House, with so many exotic women standing outside, seems like a decent entertainment venue.
Tianyu Auction House?
After wandering for a while, Ye Feng stopped in front of an auction house.
"System, what if I encounter danger while being so extravagant?"
Ye Feng finally asked a very important question.
[Ding! The system provides a Divine Tycoon Guard Army. If the host encounters life-threatening danger, the army will appear to resolve the crisis, but it will only deal with enemies threatening the host's safety.]
"Perfect!"
Since his safety was assured, he could afford to be extravagant.
With this thought, Ye Feng walked directly into the Tianyu Auction House. If he couldn't ask Leng Wufeng for now, there must be an appraiser who understands pills in the auction house.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
As soon as he entered the auction house, a staff member approached with a very polite inquiry.
"I have a few pills. Can they be auctioned at your establishment?"
Ye Feng directly stated his purpose.
"Sir, we have a sixth-grade alchemist who specializes in appraising pills. I'll take you to him."
***
A moment later.
Ye Feng arrived at an appraisal room where a middle-aged man around forty was sitting.

"Sir, what grade are the pills you wish to auction?"
Cao Anshan asked as soon as he saw Ye Feng being brought in by the staff.
"It's this Pure Profound Pill."
Ye Feng didn't waste any words and directly placed a Pure Profound Pill on the table.
Stare!
To Ye Feng's surprise, Cao Anshan stood up in shock when he saw the pill.
"Nine patterns, it's a Nine-Pattern Pure Profound Pill!"
Cao Anshan, filled with astonishment, picked up the pill and examined it closely, unable to contain his exclamation.
"Is this pill really that powerful?"
Ye Feng asked curiously, seeing Cao Anshan's shocked expression.
"Very powerful! There are so many details to pay attention to when refining a Pure Profound Pill. Any small mistake could result in an incomplete pill. Although it's just a third-grade Pure Profound Pill, suitable for cultivators in the Spirit Fusion Realm, Qi Motion Realm, and Spiritual Sea Realm, this one has nine patterns, maximizing the pill's efficacy.
The highest I've seen before was an eight-pattern on a first-grade Pure Profound Pill."
Cao Anshan didn't hide anything from Ye Feng, who seemed to know nothing.
"What do eight patterns, nine patterns mean?"
Ye Feng was confused and asked further.
"Sir, regardless of the grade, one pattern indicates that the pill's efficacy is only ten percent of a complete pill. Two patterns mean twenty percent, and a complete pill in ideal conditions would be a ten-pattern pill. To date, no one has been known to refine a ten-pattern pill, not even the lowest first-grade.
However, even a one-pattern pill is much more effective than consuming spirit herbs directly. The number of patterns is also a crucial assessment standard for an alchemist."
After listening to Cao Anshan's explanation, Ye Feng asked directly, "So what price can this pill fetch?"
"A third-grade pill typically sells for tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones. But this Pure Profound Pill not only clears impurities from the body but also has nine patterns. Its exact price is hard to estimate and can only be determined at auction."
Cao Anshan didn't give a definitive answer. If the right buyers were present at the auction, the value of this Pure Profound Pill could increase several times, given its unique efficacy.
"What! This broken pill is worth tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones?"
Ye Feng was shocked upon hearing the price. He truly didn't expect such a broken pill to be worth tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones. If converted to high-grade spirit stones, that would be dozens of them.
At this moment, Ye Feng didn't remember that he had spent five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones to purchase a direct disciple and ten thousand high-grade spirit stones to hire Old Bai to throw talismans.
Broken pill?
Hearing Ye Feng refer to the Nine-Pattern Pure Profound Pill, which he coveted, as a broken pill, Cao Anshan couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He suddenly felt like a beggar, as what others saw as a broken pill was a treasure in his eyes.
"When does your auction house hold auctions?"
Ye Feng asked Cao Anshan directly.
"Sir, you're in luck. There's an auction this afternoon."
Cao Anshan quickly replied with a smile.
"Alright, here's another one. Contact the auction house manager to add these two pills to the auction this afternoon. I'll come back later to collect the spirit stones."
With that, Ye Feng took out another Pure Profound Pill, placed it on the table, and left.
"This broken pill is so expensive; I want to see how many fools will bid on these two pills."
Although Ye Feng spoke softly, Cao Anshan, being a sixth-grade alchemist and a Purple Mansion Realm expert, heard him. He felt numb all over. Such rare and precious pills, yet the bidders were considered fools?
