After Ye Chen's eyes fell on the black iron sheet, he could no longer suppress the desire to find a bargain.
Unfortunately, the stall owner across from me was clearly not someone who didn't know what was going on, so...
"Ancient secret technique, fire-sealing curse, a seventh-grade elixir!"
Without giving Ye Chen any chance, the stall owner directly quoted his price.
Ye Chen: "…"
It seems that I really don't have Xiao Yan's life...
but...
"Fire Sealing Seal? What kind of secret technique is this?" Ye Chen looked at the stall owner opposite him, an old man wearing a sixth-grade advanced alchemist badge, and asked in confusion.
Since the old man wanted to do business, he naturally didn't hold back on this aspect, so he introduced it directly: "This is a special method used by the ancients to seal the strange fire. It can forcibly seal the strange fire into the body and then slowly subdue it. For alchemists, this secret method is absolutely priceless!"
Song Qing, who was standing next to him, picked up the piece of iron, looked at it from left to right, and found that there was nothing special about it. It was estimated that its true appearance could only be revealed by detecting it with soul power.
However, the stall owner had obviously done something to the outside of the iron sheet to isolate the soul power, so now it looked like just an ordinary iron sheet.
"Since this thing is so precious, why don't you keep it for yourself?" Song Qing asked directly.
The old man glanced at him, but he was not angry. He said calmly: "That being said, strange fire is too rare. I have lived for more than a hundred years and have not received any news about ownerless strange fire. Therefore, it is useless to keep this thing..."
Song Qing was even more speechless after hearing this. "You haven't been able to obtain the strange fire for so many years, so how can we be sure of getting it? Isn't this just as useless... and you still want a seventh-grade elixir for this? This is just a rip-off!"
"If you think it's useless, you don't have to change it!" The old man stopped Song Qing with just one sentence.
Well, the things belong to them, and it is their decision whether to exchange them or not, so Song Qing could only shut up.
However, he had no interest in this so-called fire-sealing seal, but Ye Chen next to him was just the opposite!
"Tsk tsk, this thing may be useless to others, but it is definitely very useful to me!"
Although strange fires are rare, it is not easy for Ye Chen to find them!
"Let's not talk about anything else, the Gama Empire's Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and Han Feng's Sea Heart Flame are easy to obtain..." Ye Chen thought secretly in his heart.
"Looks like I'll have time to go to the Northwest Continent..."
While thinking, Ye Chen took the iron sheet, rubbed it in his hands, and said, "It's a good thing, but a seventh-grade pill is indeed expensive. So, I'm willing to pay two sixth-grade high-level pills, how about it?"
After hearing Ye Chen's bid, the old man hesitated.
To be honest, he has had this thing for many years, and it is not the first time he has put it up for trade, but in the end he has not been successful.
He also knew very well that if someone wanted to exchange a seventh-grade elixir for a useless secret technique, no one would agree unless they were a spendthrift.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be in the hall at this moment, but would have gone up to the second floor...
His eyes struggled for a long time, then he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Three! Three sixth-grade high-level pills, and I agree to the exchange."
Song Qing next to him rolled his eyes again.
"This is just as bad as before!"
Although the value of a seventh-grade elixir is definitely greater than that of three sixth-grade high-level elixirs, the difference between the two is not that big, so the price given by the old man is completely insincere.
Dan Xuan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Old sir, the two sixth-grade high-level pills my friend gave me are quite reasonable. After all, although this thing of yours is an antique, it's ultimately of little use. And as far as I know, even in Danta, there are only a few alchemists who possess strange fire these days..."
"This..." The old man suddenly hesitated.
After a long while, he finally relented and said, "Alright, alright, two sixth-grade high-level pills, no less!"
The three young men smiled at each other, and then Ye Chen took out two white jade medicine bottles from his storage ring and said softly, "This is a sixth-grade soul-clearing pill. Taking one can make a person's soul clear and focused for a whole day. It is the best choice to assist in refining high-level pills."
This can be considered an extremely good auxiliary elixir, especially for alchemists, the effect is particularly great.
After all, alchemists are very mentally and physically exhausted when refining pills, especially high-level pills of grade five or above, which may take a long time. During this period, the alchemist must always stay focused, and the slightest carelessness may lead to the failure of alchemy.
With this kind of elixir, the alchemist can keep his mind as clear as possible and stay focused. Taking it at the most critical moment can ensure the success rate of alchemy.
After listening to Ye Chen's introduction, the old man's face showed a moment of astonishment. He then quickly grabbed the jade bottle, poured out a pale white pill from it, and then put it under his nose and sniffed it hard.
"It's indeed the Soul Purification Pill..."
The distressed look on his face disappeared in an instant, leaving only an old face with a smile as beautiful as a flower in front of the three people.
Seeing this, Ye Chen just smiled slightly and said, "In this case, our deal is done."
The old man put the Soul Purifying Pill into his ring, smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Done, done! Please keep this Fire Sealing Seal..."
After getting what they wanted, the three of them looked around again, but when they found nothing, they left the trade fair.
But even when leaving, Song Qing still felt sorry for Ye Chen.
Because in his opinion, that Fire Sealing Curse was not worth two Soul Purification Pills...
In response to this, Ye Chen could only smile and say: "Brother Song, you don't need to be like this, right? After all, it's just a pill. As long as you collect enough herbs, you can refine it again. Besides, the herbs needed for the Soul-Clearing Pill are not rare and can be easily obtained..."
Danxuan and Ye Chen had similar ideas on this point.
For a family of alchemists like theirs with a good background, the value of a sixth-grade elixir is really not as high as the outside world thinks.
However, the Song family is still just a small family, and there are probably not many pill recipes in the family collection that are higher than the Soul-Clearing Pill, so there is a certain difference in the value judgment of the six-grade pill between the two.
After returning to the Dan family, the three of them quickly separated and returned to their own residences. After all, they all gained something from the trade fair and were eager to go back and take stock.
After returning to the room, Ye Chen directly took out the black iron piece, and the violent soul power surged out, breaking the seal above in an instant.
He controlled his soul power and penetrated deep into the iron sheet. In an instant, a stream of information directly poured into his mind.
"The Fire Sealing Seal actually uses one's own body as the base, the Dantian as the furnace, and the meridians as runes!"
