Chen Li took the lead and left the auction house after completing the transfer procedures.

Chen Yao walked into a certain room in the backstage area. Tang Mei and Manager Li were present. The two of them were looking at Chen Yao with unfriendly gazes.

"Take out the spirit stones."

On the table beside her, there was a sword case that held the Heaven Severing Sword.

Chen Yao threw up his hands and said, "I don't have any spirit stones. What do you think we should do?"

"You want to die?"

A trace of killing intent appeared in Tang Mei's eyes. No one had ever dared to casually bid in the Million Treasures Auction House, and Chen Yao was no exception.

If they violated the rules of the Million Treasures Auction House, they would definitely die.

"Can I use the Face Preserving Pill?" Chen Yao innocently replied.

"That defective Face Preserving Pill is worth four and a half million spirit stones? Are you stupid? "

When he said this, Manager Li was suddenly struck dumb.

Tang Mei was also dumbfounded.

In front of their eyes floated a dense collection of medicinal pills.

A strong fragrance filled the entire room.

"These are all Face Preserving Pills?"

Both of them were stupefied. They looked at Chen Yao in disbelief.

Chen Yao proudly said, "Here are 92 Face Preserving Pills, of which 30 are of high quality. Just these 30 are of high quality and are worth more than 100 of low quality Face Preserving Pills, then there are 50 of mid quality and 12 of low quality. How much do you think these Face Preserving Pills are worth?"

"Impossible."

"Where did you get so many Face Preserving Pills?"

I only gave you 100 sets of original materials for the Face Preserving Pill, but no one was able to concoct 92 pills, and 30 of them were of the highest quality. Even a Grade Seven Alchemist, no, not even a Grade Eight Alchemist would be able to produce 50 sets of low-grade Face Preserving Pills.

"No, impossible."

Manager Li muttered to himself. He was extremely shocked by the scene before him.

He had been refining pills for dozens of years and could only refine second grade pills, so he naturally knew the difficulty of refining pills. He had been refining pills for dozens of years and could only refine second grade pills, so he naturally knew the difficulty of refining pills.

No, that's impossible.

Tang Mei was happy, but she was even more shocked.

With her identity, she naturally knew how difficult it was to concoct pills. The sight and heart of the crowd of Face Preserving Pills before her were extremely terrifying.

Chen Yao waved his hand and the ninety-two Face Preserving Pills that were floating in the air landed on a round plate on the table beside him.

"You said that no matter how many Face Preserving Pills I concoct, you will buy them for the price of 30,000 Spirit Stones. Now pay. I can remind you that a high-grade Face Preserving Pill costs 50,000 Spirit Stones."

Chen Yao ignored the shocked expressions of the two of them as he sat down on a chair to the side. He was both confident and arrogant.

But did he have the ability to be arrogant?

Clearly, there was.

Manager Li came back to his senses. He looked at Chen Yao and said, "How did you get these Face Preserving Pills?"

Manager Li was already starting to suspect that Chen Yao had come to collect these Face Preserving Pills in order to swindle them.

However, Chen Yao replied.

"I know what you're thinking, but you feel that with my financial situation and background, being able to gather so many Face Preserving Pills isn't a lie. It was all made by that senior of mine."

Tang Mei pondered for a moment, while also thinking in her heart.

Few people knew about his aging illness. Other than his own father, many of the family members were unaware of it, not to mention Chen Yao. Before yesterday, the two of them had never known each other.

In that case, there was no way Chen Yao could have saved up the Face Preserving Pills to swindle out of the difference in price. Furthermore, Chen Yao didn't have the capital to do so.

But this was too incredible.

Could there really be someone who could control the success rate of pill refining to 90% and could concoct so many Face Preserving Pills in a day?

This was too terrifying.

Even the guild leader of the Apothecary Guild, Sultan, might not possess such capabilities.

Terrifying. Terrifying.

"Who the hell are you?"

Tang Mei frowned as she asked Chen Yao.

Chen Yao smiled, "Didn't all of you already find out about my background?" Do you still need to ask? Moreover, didn't the Auction House have a rule that they only recognize money as money? Who cares who I am? I still have serious matters to attend to.

Chen Yao was indeed a little anxious. If he went too late, his little scheme would be foiled.

Manager Li still wanted to say something but was stopped by Tang Mei.

She said to Chen Yao, "Fine, 30 high grade Face Preserving Pills, 50 thousand Spirit Stones each, 1.5 million Spirit Stones, 40 thousand medium grade, 50 pills, 2 million Spirit Stones, 12 low grade ones, 30,000 Spirit Stones, 36 Spirit Stones, a total of 3 million and 860,000 Spirit Stones."

This price was already considered high.

However, Chen Yao still frowned. In order to obtain the Heaven Severing Sword this time, he really didn't think much of it. He had 600,000 effective spirit stones. Adding them together, it was still not enough to pay for the Heaven Severing Sword.

He had truly miscalculated.

Right at the moment when Chen Yao was in a dilemma.

However, Tang Mei said softly, "However, since this is our first time working together, for the sake of smooth cooperation in the future, these Face Preserving Pills should be exchanged with the Heaven Severing Sword and this card is for you."

After saying that, a green card flew into Chen Yao's hand.

Tang Mei continued to speak, "This is a high class VIP card from my Thousand Treasures Association. With this card, in all of my Thousand Treasures Chamber of Commerce's stores, whatever you buy will be sold at a 20% discount. Furthermore, there are some good items that you need that can be overdrawn by 10 million spirit stones."

This thing was indeed very precious.

10% discount, like 10 million, meant that he only had to pay 7 million. It was such a big deal, and if it was at the same price, the last item would definitely be for a VIP.

And he could overdraft another ten million.

Not many people were able to obtain a VIP card from the Thousand Treasures Firm.

Clearly, Tang Mei was trying to win Chen Yao over.

It didn't matter if these pills were refined by Chen Yao himself or if he really had a formidable alchemist relative. As long as he could have even the tiniest bit of relationship with a true alchemist, then the value he could bring to the Myriad Treasures Store in the future would be difficult to measure by the value of his spirit stones.

Chen Yao naturally understood Tang Mei's meaning, but he did not refuse her. In the world of cultivation, the strong preyed on the weak.

Chen Yao accepted the card and picked up the sword case with the Heaven Severing Sword, "I've remembered this favor of yours. Can I leave now?"

Tang Mei nodded. "Go ahead."

Chen Yao turned around and left.

Not only that, he had also taken away the Heaven Severing Sword along with the sword box that contained the aura of the hidden treasure. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he wouldn't be able to stand up straight.

"..."

When Chen Yao had completely left the room, Tang Mei turned around and said to Manager Li.

Manager Li, pick twenty of these from these ninety-two at random and send them to the headquarters of the capital's Alchemist Association. Have them make up their minds and see what they can tell. The reporters need to keep this a secret, and they don't need to explain the details to the Alchemist Guild.

Tang Mei's intention was clear. If these pills were really concocted by Chen Yao, then this kind of person must first win over their own Thousand Treasures Auction House. They could not let the Apothecary Guild snatch them away first.

Manager Li immediately went to do it.

He wanted to know for himself if there was any other way.

At this moment, Chen Yao, who had just exited the Sword City, was running towards the direction of the Martial Ancestor.
