C2630 Apothecary

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The auction hall was extremely quiet, and no one made a sound.

As for Lin Bai, who was in the box, he watched everything happening outside with a calm expression, watching the slightest fluctuations in the expression on Gui Long's face. But unlike Lin Bai's calm surface, his heart was now like the surface of a sea swept by typhoons. The waves rolled and billowed, so much so that he did not even notice it himself. A fine layer of cold sweat formed on his back.

Lin Bai was betting that the reason why no elixirs were auctioned off at this auction was not because everyone in the Immortal World was an expert at refining elixirs, nor was it because not everyone had enough elixirs.

But in the entire Celestial Realm, there were very few people who could refine pills, and that was exactly the case. Even in a giant store like the Gui Yuan Sect, there was no way they could open up an auction for pills on their own.

If he could win this round, he would be able to obtain the crimson iron piece. However, if he lost this round, he would accept the ridicule from countless people, and he would be kicked out of the auction house very soon.

Under such a situation, how could Lin Bai not be perturbed in his heart? How could he not have a calm expression, yet perspired profusely in private?

Boom!" In this moment of extreme tranquility, the entire auction place burst into an uproar. The violent sound waves were like an invisible wave of air that was about to collapse the roof of the auction place.

It was a shocking uproar, not an unbridled mockery! The moment this clamor was heard, Lin Bai let out a long breath and slowly sat down. Although he still didn't know why there were so few pills in the Celestial Realm, he knew that he had won the bet!

"A pill refiner actually came to participate in the auction!" "I'm rich! I'm definitely rich this time!"

"I was wondering how this person could have so much guts to dare to defy Young Lord Heavencraft's imperial edict and be so rich! So he's actually a pill refiner! I wonder what kind of miraculous pill this pill will produce!"

Not only that, but from the commotion, he realized that the people in the training hall had already mistaken him for a pill refiner. Moreover, from their words, pill refiners seemed to have a very high status in the Immortal World, as if even an existence like Young Master Tianji did not dare to offend pill refiners.

Even though Lin Bai was slightly taken aback by this discovery, he didn't find it strange at all. Just imagine the position of the Medicine Valley in the underworld, and you would be able to deduce the status of pill refiners in the Immortal World. There was no need to even mention the fact that, based on the current situation, the Immortal World's thirst for medicinal pills seemed to be even stronger than that of the hidden world's.

Not only that, Lin Baizhi and the rest were also happy that they had made a wrong judgement about his identity. This was because the more they believed that the person fighting Young Lord Tianji for the crimson red metal piece was a pill refiner, the less they would guess that the real bidder would be themselves.

Pill Refiner, how could that man surnamed Mu be a pill refiner?! Compared to the others in the auction venue, Yu Huan Feng, who had interacted with Lin Bai many times before, was clearly even more astonished by this answer. His eyes were filled with shock and astonishment. No matter what, he had never imagined that Lin Bai would be a pill refiner with extraordinary status in the Immortal World, possessing the ability to refine pills.

Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could the pill refiner be that brat's appearance? He must be cheating right now, purposely tricking the Gui Family Trading Company, and before long, his mirror would be pierced, and then, it would be his time to make a fool of himself! The more Yu Huan thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible. He kept comforting himself in his mind.

Pill Refiner? At the same time, Young Master Tianji in the private box also revealed a look of astonishment and contemplation. His gaze grew more and more curious as he stared at Lin Bai's private box, wanting to find out just what the identity of this private box was.

"Everyone, please hold back for a moment. Allow me to inspect this Fellow Daoist's medicinal pill to see just how good it is!" At the same time, the host, Gui Long, cupped his hands in a greeting towards the crowd. Then, he turned to Lin Bai's box and said loudly, "Since you think that your pills can be compared to top grade immortal spirit stones, are you not afraid of my examination?"

"Fellow Gui, feel free to come and check …" When Lin Bai heard this, he smiled and spoke in a clear voice. Now that he had determined that the elixirs from the Immortal World were extremely scarce, he naturally didn't have the slightest fear of them. Moreover, he also had a strong confidence in the worth of the elixirs that he had because they were personally made by Elder Tan.

No, that's not right. This kid's words and actions are way too calm. He doesn't even have the slightest bit of fear. Was he really mistaken? Was his real identity really a pill refiner? When he heard Lin Bai's confident words, Yu Huan Feng's brows knitted together. He felt that something was amiss.

However, before long, Gui Long arrived at Lin Bai's private box, and the entire auction venue had become completely silent. Everyone was nervously watching Lin Bai's private box, wanting to see if Lin Bai was intentionally trying to cheat, fool, or really had some sort of medicinal pill of extraordinary quality.

"It's you?" Just as Lin Bai opened the private box's door, a strange look appeared in Gui Long's eyes and he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

This was the first time he had participated in an auction, so he really didn't know why Gui Long was so surprised when he saw him. It even made him suspect that this person knew his real identity, so he immediately stepped back and said, "Fellow cultivator, do you recognize me?"

"Not also... "Not also …" Seeing Lin Bai's cautious look, Gui Long shook his head and smiled bitterly. He slowly closed the private box's door and said, "I just heard from Gui Liang that an interesting young man with five different spiritual roots has come to this auction. However, I didn't expect you to be a pill master."

So that's how it was. Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai's tensed heart gradually relaxed. He previously thought that Gui Long had recognized his identity, but now he realized that this was not the case. It was because of the blue-robed middle-aged man.

Even so, Lin Bai clearly discovered that when he realized that the person he wrongly judged to be a pill master was at the top of the Qianyuan realm, not only was there astonishment in his eyes, there was also amazement and joy. However, that joy had been perfectly concealed by him, and if he wasn't extremely meticulous, he would not have been able to grasp it.

"Not only is Fellow's cultivation amazing, you're also a pill refiner. Truly surprising." At this time, Gui Long had already regained his calm expression. After cupping his hands towards Lin Bai, he lightly smiled and said, "However, as expected of you. Since you've already praised me, shouldn't you now prove to me that you're not lying?"

"Although I am not talented, I am not interested in deceiving others." Although he didn't understand where this came from, Lin Bai's expression remained the same. After smiling faintly, he reached into his storage ring and took out several bottles of pills from within and placed them in front of Gui Long, saying, "The pills are here, please verify them, fellow cultivator. See if my words are true."

Pill Refiner, this fellow is definitely a pill refiner. Furthermore, the pills he concocts do not seem to be of ordinary quality! After Lin Bai calmly took out the pill, he could clearly smell the rich medicinal fragrance even though there was a jade bottle separating them. The faint Spiritual Aura fluctuations also caused the joy in Lin Bai's eyes to become even stronger.

What a rich medicinal fragrance! As for Gui Long, he stretched out his hand and opened one of the jade bottles. He placed the bottle under his nose and after taking a light sniff, he felt a refreshing medicinal fragrance rush through his nose and rush to his head. The strong medicinal intent had even caused the mind of the dragon to become unclear, making it feel as if it was floating like an immortal.

However, this intoxicating feeling did not last for long. Gui Long could no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart. He opened the other jade bottles that Lin Bai took out and sniffed them one by one. Every time he smelled one, the joy on his face became denser.

"Fellow Daoist, do you have any more medicinal pills?" As for the pills in the three jade bottles, after smelling them one by one, Gui Long's face was filled with an unsatisfied expression. His face was flushed red as he said to Lin Bai.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai mysteriously smiled but did not say anything. Although his expression was calm, Lin Bai's heart was already blooming with joy. Looking at Gui Long's current appearance, he became more and more confident. He knew that the result of his gamble would have been a complete victory. If it hadn't been for that, Gui Long wouldn't have lost his composure like this.

But the more it was like this, the more he was curious. The quantity of spiritual medicines in the Immortal World was clearly far higher than that of the hidden world, but why was it that there were no decent pill refiners here? The pill he took out was not the most precious part of the pill given by Elder Zang Tan.

"I didn't do anything excessive. Considering Fellow Daoist's power, how could there be no medicinal pills?" After he shook his head, Gui Long slowly asked, "If I'm not wrong, fellow cultivator, these three pellets should be used to replenish your Essence, warm up your meridians and Dantian, and temporarily increase your base level, right? "Fellow Daoist, you're so young, and yet you're able to produce such extraordinary ammunition with just ordinary spiritual medicines. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I'd have thought that this pill was refined by a pill refiner who has immersed himself in the Dao for over 50 years."

This person's eyes were so sharp, he actually hit the nail on the head! With these words, Lin Bai couldn't help but slightly suck in a breath of cold air. His gaze towards Gui Long became a bit more respectful, but his expression still remained mysterious. He smiled and said, "Is this pill enough?"
