Chapter 23: High-Grade Gathering of Yuan Spirit Liquid

  Chapter 23: High-Grade Gathering of Yuan Spirit Liquid

  Back home, Gu Chen immediately started practicing medicine. This time, he obtained the alchemy furnace and utensils from the Huatian Cave Mansion, making it easier to refine the Yuanyuan Spirit Liquid. Soon, all 40 bottles of middle-grade Yuanyuan Spirit Liquid were refined by Gu Chen.

  Without stopping, Gu Chen continued to add 150-year-old Bingmeng Grass, Huangxue Grass, Xuelian Flower... and the required matching medicine into the Dan furnace.

  Very soon... a strong fragrance wafted out of the dan furnace, and the high-grade聚元灵液 was successfully refined. Compared to the medium-grade聚元灵液, it was even more crystal clear and translucent, with an even stronger aroma that was almost on the verge of surpassing **'s range, approaching the trend of solidifying into a dan.

  Gu Chen will put the top-grade Gathering Yuan Spirit Liquid into 20 bottles. One bottle of top-grade Gathering Yuan Spirit Liquid has a spiritual energy essence that is at least ten times more concentrated than the middle-grade one. Although Gu Chen's cultivation has improved and his speed of refining spiritual energy is faster, the top-grade Gathering Yuan Spirit Liquid is enough for him to refine for five days.

  Gu Chen put away ten bottles of top-grade Yuan Ling liquid into the Qian Kun bracelet, and the other ten bottles were packed in a small box. A month had passed, and the auction in West City was about to begin again.

  This time, Gu Chen prepared to auction off ten bottles of the top-grade Gathering Yuan Spiritual Liquid, which doubles the cultivation speed for those in the later stages of the Post-Heaven Realm and increases by half the cultivation speed for those at the peak of the Post-Heaven Realm who are breaking through to the Pre-Heaven Realm.

  Now that the ancient furnace tripod utensils are available, the utensil utensils are also available, and it is entirely possible to refine the spiritual elixir that accelerates the cultivation speed of the pre-heavenly boundary cultivators for his father to take.

  However, the spiritual elixir material for the Innate Realm requires 200 years of spiritual grass. Gu Cangyun is currently at the fourth level of the Innate Realm and belongs to the middle stage of the Innate Realm. The best material would be 300 years of spiritual grass.

  The price of Lingcao in the 200-year period requires 10-30 Lingshi per grain; The Lingcao in the 300-year period even needs 60-120 Lingshi per plant. The inferior Juyuan Ling liquid auctioned by Gu Chen last time, although it was sold at a sky-high price of 2 million Huangbi, is equivalent to only 20 blocks of Lingshi, which can't even buy a single plant of 300-year-old Lingcao.

  The value of the middle-grade Gathering Spirit Liquid is several times higher than that of the lower grade, and the high-grade one is even more so, with a price difference of at least ten times. Gu Chen auctioned off ten bottles of high-grade Gathering Spirit Liquid in one go, no matter what, it would fetch a price of several hundred spirit stones, enough to upgrade the spiritual medicine materials for the middle stage of the Innate Realm.

  The next day was the day of the Western City auction.

  "Dad, I'm going to Xicheng today," Gu Chen said to his father after breakfast.

  "Western City?" Gu Cangqiong looked at him and then his eyes lit up, "Oh, today is the day of the mid-month auction, you're going again...?"

  Gu Chen nodded.

  Ancient Azure Vault asked: "Didn't you earn 200,000 Desolate Coins last time? Why are you going again?"

  "My master taught me a cultivation method that consumes a lot of spiritual medicine, 200,000 yuan is not enough, and I need to auction off some more." Gu Chen didn't plan on telling his father about the purpose of this auction, which was to buy the high-quality Gathering Yuan Spiritual Liquid. He would wait until after the auction, when he had bought the 300-year-old spiritual grass and refined the spiritual elixir that accelerates the cultivation of the Innate Realm, before telling his father, giving him a surprise.

  "Not enough? How much more do you want me to give you? Unless absolutely necessary, try not to go to the auction. You're only at the third layer of cultivation after tomorrow, and if someone recognizes you, you won't have the power to protect yourself. If your identity gets out, even the Gu family will find it hard to keep you safe." Gu Cangyun said with some concern.

  "Don't worry, Dad, I'll be careful, nothing will go wrong." Gu Chen secretly touched the Qian Kun bracelet on his wrist, with the easy-to-swallow pill, even if someone recognized him as a Dan medicine master, they wouldn't know that the ugly dwarf was actually Gu Chen.

  "Alright... then I'll go with you." Gu Cangqiong said, he had heard the firm tone in Gu Chen's voice and so didn't try to dissuade him anymore.

  Gu Chen said: "This won't do, if Father goes with me, wouldn't everyone know who I am? I'll change my appearance before going to the auction, no one will be able to recognize me."

  "It's...it's Dad who's confused." Gu Cangqiong patted his forehead and said, "Chen Er, you be careful yourself."

  "I'll go," Gu Chen said, "Dad, you don't have to go to the auction later, lest you arouse suspicion."

  "Alright, your father is waiting for you at home."

  ……

  Gu Chen left the Gu house and weaved in and out of the alleys in Dong Cheng, making sure no one was following him. In a deserted alleyway, he applied the Gu Ma Dan, transforming into a short man covered in scabies with a face full of pockmarks.

  Not long after, Gu Chen arrived at the West City and entered the reception room of the auction venue. The person in charge of receiving the items for auction was still that middle-aged man from last time. Seeing Gu Chen enter, the middle-aged man immediately stood up and respectfully said:

  "Senior, you're auctioning off spiritual medicine again?"

  The current appearance of Gu Chen is really ugly to the point of being astonishing, and it's absolutely unforgettable after seeing it once. Moreover, since Gu Chen auctioned off the spiritual medicine last time, this middle-aged man naturally remembered Gu Chen deeply in his heart.

  The second time I saw Gu Chen, I immediately recognized him, but it was a bit strange. The ugly dwarf in front of me was still short, but seemed to be much taller than a month ago.

  A month ago, Gu Chen was still at the fourth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, but now he is already at the sixth layer. As a young man, with his growing strength, Gu Chen's physical body has become increasingly stronger, and his height has naturally increased rapidly. Compared to a month ago, he is nearly 10 centimeters taller.

  "Hmm, what about Mr. Gu?" Gu Chen said in a hoarse voice.

  "Please, senior, take a seat in the back hall for a moment. I'll go invite Old Gu immediately." The middle-aged man led Gu Chen to the guest hall at the back and served two cups of tea before hurrying out through a side door.

  Gu Chen waited for a short while in the back hall, then heard the footsteps of two people coming over. Soon, Gu Weng Xian and the middle-aged man entered the hall.

  Gu Weng laughed and said: "Old master, what good spiritual medicine have you brought this time?"

  Gu Chen beckoned and Gu Yong sat down in a chair beside him. "It's just some spiritual medicine," said Gu Chen.

  "Some elixir?"

  Gu Weng's face suddenly changed color, and he immediately heard the implicit meaning in Gu Chen's words.

  Middle-aged people originally didn't think much of it, but after listening to Gu Weng's words, they also reacted and looked surprised. Last time, a bottle of inferior Jiyuan Ling liquid caused a sensation in the entire Lesui City, and this time it was 'some' spiritual medicine.

  The two men's performance fell into Gu Chen's eyes. Gu Chen picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip before saying, "Still, it's the Gathering Yuan Spiritual Liquid, ten bottles."

  Ten bottles of inferior Gathering Yuan Spirit Liquid? Enough to let a postnatal realm early-stage cultivator briefly enter the mid-stage of the postnatal realm.

  The eyes of the two men lit up at the same time, but Gu Wengjian quickly returned to normal. To cover up his surprised expression, he also picked up another cup of tea from the table and smiled slightly: "Ten bottles of Juyuan Ling liquid, Mr. is indeed extraordinary."

  Gu Chen said: "Ten bottles... Top-grade Gathered Yuan Spirit Liquid."

  "Ten bottles of top-grade Gathering Yuan Spiritual Liquid?" The middle-aged man exclaimed, with his current cultivation at the 8th layer of the Post-Heaven realm, ten bottles of top-grade Gathering Yuan Spiritual Liquid would be enough to let him rapidly break through to the 9th layer of the Post-Heaven realm. Who knows, it might even allow him to set foot into the Pre-Heaven realm.

  "Hiss......"

  Gu Weng was no longer calm, his hands clenched into fists, and a teacup was crushed to powder by him.
