—------------------—
After leaving the Tiandou Auction House, Xiao Mu did not return to the Soul Palace immediately, but came to the Haitang Pharmacy.
The Begonia Pharmacy is larger than the Rejuvenating Pharmacy. As soon as Xiao Mu entered the store, he smelled a strange fragrance, which sounded like some kind of medicinal herb, but was completely different.
"What does the guest need?"
"Nine-Leaf Tower, I heard that it is only found here in Tiandou City." Xiao Mu went straight to the point.
"Yes, I do, but I need to ask the owner before deciding whether to sell this precious medicinal herb, Nine-Leaf Fritillaria, please wait a moment."
After saying that, the guy went in through the side door.
Not long after, a graceful and elegant woman came out.
After looking at Xiao Mu carefully, her nostrils twitched, and then her eyes lit up.
"You want to buy the Nine-Leaf Chonglou?"
"Exactly."
"Nine-leafed Chonglou often grows on cliffs deep in the mountains. It takes decades for it to grow into nine leaves. I don't need to explain its value."
Xiao Mu said, "Of course I know the value of the Nine-Leaf Tower. Just name your price. As long as the price is reasonable, I will buy it."
The woman shook her head.
"My Haitang Ye family's rules are different from other medicine shops. The sale of such precious medicinal materials depends not only on financial resources but also on fate."
"Oh?" Xiao Mu asked curiously, "What kind of fate?"
The woman smiled gently and said, "I think you are the one destined to be with me. I am willing to give you the Nine-Leaf Tower for free."
When she saw Xiao Mu just now, she smelled a faint fragrance of elixir.
The Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul inherited by the Ye family is the most advanced healing martial soul, but there can only be two owners of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul in the world at the same time.
The Ye family has wanted to solve this limitation for many generations. They are the top healing soul masters themselves and know that it is impossible to solve this problem using the soul master's method, so they put their hopes on medicine.
As the top healing soul master, the Ye family is also the best in medical research.
The fate she just mentioned is to see whether the person who buys the medicinal materials has a prescription that the Ye family does not know.
The scent of the elixir on Xiao Mu's body was different from all the other medicinal scents she knew, and it felt completely different from the medical tradition passed down in Douluo Continent.
For some reason, she had a vague feeling that the hope of resolving the issue of Nine-Hearted Begonia spirit inheritance might very well rest on this young man.
This feeling was unreasonable, but she was willing to take a gamble.
…
After Xiao Mu left, the news of the elixir auction spread at an alarming speed.
As the top auction house in the Tiandou Empire, Tiandou Auction House has a fixed customer base.
If there are any rare items to be auctioned, they will be given to several larger sects and families near Tiandou City first.
Of course, the first to receive the news was the Tiandou royal family.
The Tiandou royal family holds a certain share in the Tiandou Auction House and is considered one of the behind-the-scenes bosses.
Without the support of the royal family, it would be impossible for the auction house to spread throughout the Tiandou Empire.
"Soul-breaking Pill? A pill that can increase soul power?"
Emperor Xue Ye was the first to receive the news.
"Is the news true? Could it be that the Tiandou Auction House has been scammed?"
Emperor Xue Ye's first reaction was suspicion, which was also the reaction of most people when they heard the news.
"Probably not." A burly middle-aged man replied:
"Someone at the Tiandou Auction House has tested the elixir and found it to be effective in increasing soul power, with no side effects. It's said the person who auctioned the elixir is the same person who razed the Canglan City auction house."
"Oh?" Emperor Xue Ye had obviously heard of this.
"It's said that there was a Titled Douluo among those who destroyed the Canglan City auction house. Could this person be in Tiandou City?"
The deterrent power of the Titled Douluo is powerful. If he had not protected Dugu Bo and made Dugu Bo a guest of the royal family, the entire Tiandou Empire would not have had a Titled Douluo-level combat force.
"Tell me, can I recruit this person for my own use?"
After saying this, he shook his head.
"That shouldn't be possible. All Titled Douluo are proud individuals. How could they easily submit to being subordinated to others and be ordered around by them?"
The middle-aged man said, "Even if they can't be used by Your Majesty, at least they won't be recruited by the Spirit Hall."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"Because they created a new faction called Soul Palace."
"Soul Palace?" Emperor Xue Ye was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
"What a Spirit Hall! I wonder what the Spirit Hall would think if they knew about this. I think this person must have a grudge against the Spirit Hall, otherwise why would he choose such a name to disgust the Spirit Hall?"
The Spirit Hall brought heavy pressure to the two empires. Emperor Xue Ye only hoped that the Spirit Hall would have as many enemies as possible.
At the same time that Emperor Xue Ye received the news, Xue Qinghe, no, it should be Qian Renxue, also received the news.
"Young Master, do you want us to take action immediately and control the person who is auctioning the elixir? The method of refining this kind of elixir that can increase soul power can only be mastered by our Spirit Hall." said Thorny Porpoise Douluo.
"No." Although Qian Renxue was surprised, she remained calm.
"A Titled Douluo with a hundred thousand year spirit ring, even if you and Snake Spear Douluo join forces, you might not be able to deal with him. On the contrary, it will expose your hiding in Tiandou City."
"Young Master, what should we do? Should we just ignore it?"
Once the method of refining elixirs is obtained by the three upper sects, it will definitely pose a huge threat to the Spirit Hall.
"Don't be impatient." Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said, "There must be someone who is even more impatient than us. Let them explore the way first."
"Our first priority is to seize the Tiandou Empire. We will go to the auction site on the day of the auction to see if the effect of the elixir is really as the auction site claims. We will also go to meet the person who dared to establish his power in the name of Soul Palace."
"Young Master is indeed very thoughtful."
Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo said.
Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
As one of the biggest customers of the Tiandou Auction House, Ning Fengzhi was of course one of the first to get the news.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, what do you think?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong are not only the high-end combat power of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but also the source of Ning Fengzhi's confidence.
"If the effects of the elixir are real, the entire Douluo Continent will probably be bustling with activity."
Sword Douluo did not express any specific opinions, but only expressed his concerns about the current situation.
Ning Fengzhi sighed, "Yes, we can already foresee the sudden changes that will happen in Douluo Continent. However, this may not be a bad thing for us."
"Indeed, the Spirit Hall must be more anxious than we are. The Soul Breaking Pill will cause greater damage to them."
Not only are the two empires under pressure from the Spirit Hall, but the three major sects are also directly under the threat of the Spirit Hall, and are always worried about whether the Spirit Hall will take action against them.
Instead of watching the Spirit Hall grow stronger and erode their space for survival and development.
It would be better to take advantage of this change and look for opportunities to develop and strengthen the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, which may alleviate the threat from the Spirit Hall.
"Oh, right." Ning Fengzhi suddenly thought of something.
"Have Rongrong's protectors bring her back quickly. It's unsafe for her to stay outside any longer. If possible, we should buy a Soul Breaking Pill for her."
Ning Rongrong ran away from home not long ago.
Of course, Ning Rongrong only thought that she had successfully run away from home. In fact, Ning Fengzhi secretly sent people to protect her.
The situation was about to change suddenly, and Ning Fengzhi didn't dare to leave Ning Rongrong alone outside.
"Okay, I said we should get Rongrong back sooner rather than later. As for the Soul-Breaking Pill, not many people have the financial resources to compete with our Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."
