So, when the audience, initially sleepy, heard Elder Dong's words, they instantly perked up, sitting upright and listening intently to find out what auction item Elder Xie had brought.
Elder Dong was very pleased with the suddenly lively atmosphere at the scene, and he smiled, saying, "Elder Xie is a person of high virtue and respect, his skills in the medical path are extremely high. What surprise can this item he brought us possibly hold? Everyone, please look forward with anticipation!"
He waved his hand, and the two ladies immediately lifted the red cloth.
The crowd clearly saw that inside the golden box, there firmly sat a small jade bottle, only as thick as two fingers.
Elder Dong smiled and said, "Without hiding anything from everyone, this indeed contains an elixir pill; but as for what kind of elixir pill it is, I will leave it to Elder Xie to explain himself."
Under the eager gazes of the audience, Elder Xie slowly stood up and smiled, "This bottle of elixir pill was specifically brought out from our Valley of the Medicine King; it contains five small pills. Like drawing talismans, elixir pills are divided into nine ranks, and each rank further divided into low grade, medium grade, high grade, and top-grade quality."
"These ten elixir pills were crafted in our ancestral alchemy furnace after a period of forty-nine days. The best a furnace can produce is nine pills, but I only managed to produce five, which matches my strength as a Third Rank medium Alchemist."
Elder Xie is actually a Third Rank medium Alchemist!
Many were shocked beyond measure. Not only is Elder Xie highly skilled in medical arts, but he is also a Third Rank medium Alchemist!
As is known, becoming an Alchemist is a profession more difficult to achieve than becoming a Talisman Master. Unlike a Talisman Master who can do with just more practice in drawing talismans, using materials that are not too rare.
However, to become an Alchemist, even just a First Rank Alchemist, one needs to consume a huge amount of alchemical materials for practice, but nowadays, such materials are increasingly scarce, making it even harder to become an Alchemist.
Thus, becoming a Third Rank Alchemist is extremely difficult!
But Elder Xie was indeed a genuine Third Rank Alchemist, how could this not astonish anyone?
Elder Xie continued, "These five elixir pills are called Bone Strengthening Pills, and as the name implies, they are used to strengthen bones. They are unsuitable for the average person, they should only be used by external practitioners with skill in the middle phase of Perfection or higher, ideally those at the Great Perfection Mastery Level hoping to advance to an External Style Grandmaster level, as they can help enhance the toughness of bones, aiding those at Great Perfection control to advance to Grandmaster level."
"This Third Grade medium Bone Strengthening Pill, the first pill, can increase the probability of a successful advancement by ten percent, the second by seven percent, and the third by three percent, totaling a maximum of two percent more probability across three pills. Taking more would be useless. Of course, if it were a higher or top-grade quality Bone Strengthening Pill, the probability increases significantly."
Having listened to Elder Xie's explanation, everyone completely understood the effects of these pills.
In the end, this item was designed for external practitioners at the Great Perfection Mastery Level to advance to the Grandmaster Level. It was useless for ordinary people, but for external practitioners at the Great Perfection Mastery Level, it was indeed a miraculous elixir! For a b&e%t$te$r r+ea&d$ing@ e#xp$er!i*e&nc*e!,- vi^s%i^t^ M(V.LE&M@PY-R^)..
Never underestimate that twenty percent probability. Every advancement between major realms is very dangerous, a slight misstep could lead to manic cultivation or even spontaneous combustion and death!
For external practitioners, advancing might result in minor injuries that affect their abilities, or in severe cases, completely sever muscles and bones, rendering them invalid!
Thus, let alone two percent, even a mere 0.1 percent chance could determine a person's life and death!
Furthermore, a Grandmaster Level expert could change the destiny of an entire family!
The reason why the Four Great Families are called so is because they possess Grandmaster level experts, while the Seven Small Families do not, and even with experts at Great Perfection Mastery, they cannot compete with the Four Great Families.
But if any of the Seven Small Families had a Grandmaster Level expert, the entire structure of Huadu would change!
This was just like Xu Hao's sudden emergence, which stirred the situation in all of Huadu.
Now that everyone understood this point, the family heads of the Seven Small Families could no longer sit still.
This bottle of elixir pills could very likely change the destiny of their families!
In front of such a critical issue, no one cared about anything else, so much so that some had even made up their minds to acquire this bottle of elixir pills, even if it meant spending their entire fortune!
At this time, the family heads of the Four Great Families were also getting ready for action.
Their families had Grandmaster Level experts, true.
But, who wouldn't want their family to be more powerful than the others?
Who would want another family to become more powerful than their own?
Thus, no one was unaffected!
But Tu Yilong wasn't too concerned at that moment. He felt that what his family wanted him to buy was probably not this bottle of elixir pills.
Although precious, this elixir pill was limited to helping external practitioners at Great Perfection Mastery advance to Grandmaster level. His Tu family, while not daring to claim a leading number of Grandmaster Level experts among all families, didn't particularly care about gaining one or two more External Style Grandmasters.
