Realm-Hopping Martial Master

In Tianqing County City, there are branches of three major merchant organizations: the Danxia Chamber of Commerce, Flame Tripod Commerce, and Wanmi Commerce.

The headquarters of these three major organizations all stand towering in the capital of Yunzhou. They belong to truly famous and significant forces. Each organization specializes in different industries. The Danxia Chamber of Commerce primarily focuses on Elixirs, Flame Tripod Commerce on weapons, and Wanmi Commerce specializes in selling various Martial Arts secrets.

For items like Treasures, and secrets of battles from over a hundred dynasties above the Six Martial Arts Realms, Jiang Shu had spent a considerable sum. He acquired them from the Wanmi Commerce branch in Baisha County.

"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest!"

Upon hearing the words 'top-grade Qi Gathering Pill,' the person in charge trembled. Working in the largest branch of Flame Tripod Commerce, his Realm was naturally not weak. Having tempered three Vital Organs, his insight far surpassed those in the Refining Internal Realm.

He only opened one of the jade bottles and took a slight whiff, disbelief flashing across his eyes. He looked up at Jiang Shu, who was clad in a cloak, his face unclear. Respectfully, he got up and hurriedly went inside to report.

Soon, an old man in a long robe arrived in the treasure appraisal chamber, guided by the person in charge. After opening each jade bottle, he nodded in confirmation.

The person in charge, his expression one of utmost attentiveness, said, "May I ask if the distinguished guest plans to only auction these thirty bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, or if you also intend to participate in our Flame Tripod Commerce auction?"

He continued, "Based on the Elixirs you're auctioning, I can arrange for you to enjoy a second-class VIP room in advance."

"The second-class VIP room is soundproof. It will be equipped with an exceptionally attractive Maid to attend to your every desire, for you to enjoy as you please," he added.

"This is a partial list of the Treasures for this auction at our Flame Tripod Commerce. Please take a close look," he concluded.

「Qi Gathering Pills.」

Although they are the lowest level among top-grade Elixirs, they are the most popular among Blood Exchange Realm Martial Artists. Every Qi Gathering Pill contains a tiny whirl of Yuan Qi. Those at the Peak of the Blood Exchange Realm can use this to sense the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, both internally and externally.

With repeated consumption, it's highly likely to break through directly to the Acupoint Passage Realm.

Such Elixirs are in high demand, not just in the county city but even in Yunzhou City. Countless Blood Exchange Realm Martial Artists there are willing to spend a fortune for a chance at a breakthrough.

「Second-class VIP room.」

The person in charge tactfully withdrew.

Jiang Shu stepped into the VIP room, which was quite large, about ten square meters in size. In the middle of the room lay a two-meter-wide bed made of golden-threaded nanmu wood. The bedding and pillows on the bed were woven from cloud-mist silk, incredibly soft to the touch.

A tall Maid knelt beside the large bed, respectfully holding a platter of fruit in her hands.

Her hair cascaded to her waist. She had a delicate, fair face with a hint of a blush, and her prominent curves were accentuated by the tight silk dress.

"Rise," he said.

Jiang Shu's voice was very deep, and he wore gloves that hid his skin, making it impossible to guess his age.

He only glanced at the Maid before sitting down in a nearby chair, looking through the window at the square below.

The auction had not yet started.

But the square below was already bustling with people. Martial Artists from the Refining Internal Realm, and even the Blood Exchange Realm, were finding their seats and sitting down.

A quick glance revealed nearly a thousand people.

Tianqing County City is indeed extraordinary. And being so close to Yunzhou City, it's likely that many Martial Artists from the capital have also come to this auction. Since I'm in a second-floor, second-class VIP room, Flame Tripod Commerce probably considers me a top-grade Alchemist.

After all, the Danxia Chamber of Commerce is the holy land for Alchemists in Yunzhou. The number of top-grade Alchemists within Flame Tripod Commerce is extremely low. Attracting one would be a great achievement for them.

Jiang Shu had come to Flame Tripod Commerce this time also to purchase a weapon that would suit him well.

If he wanted to top the Little Dragon Tiger List, he would inevitably face numerous battles in Yunzhou City.

The alloy saber from Xuanxing that he used was no longer keeping up with his Martial Arts Realm.

"The Flame Tripod Commerce auction is about to begin! Distinguished guests, please quietly take your seats," announced a goatee-wearing old man, walking to the center stage of the square, holding a small hammer in his hand.

Behind him, a seductively curvy, purple-robed woman approached enchantingly. She held a small jade box, her breath was as fragrant as orchids, and her voice, like a feather gently tickling the ear, seemed to whisper beside every guest, "The first auction item is a bottle of the top-grade Elixir, Qi Gathering Pills."

"What Qi Gathering Pills are, I'm sure this little lady need not explain further. The starting price is one hundred thousand Gold or ten Essence Yuan Great Pills. Each bid must increase by ten thousand Gold or one Essence Yuan Great Pill," she said.

As her voice fell, a man dressed in luxurious clothing below, his eyes shining, immediately declared, "One hundred thousand Gold!"

"Eleven Essence Yuan Great Pills," a woman in the second row quickly countered, not to be outdone.

Meat-eaters are brave and fierce. Elixir-takers are vigorous and ageless.

Before advancing in Martial Arts, Martial Artists primarily consume meat to nourish a spirit of bravery. However, once they achieve success, especially after reaching the Blood Exchange Realm—the final stage of Body Refinement—even exotic beast meat offers little enhancement.

The most suitable for consumption by Martial Artists are Elixirs!

The Essence Yuan Great Pill is one of the highest-quality mid-grade Elixirs. For Blood Exchange Realm Martial Artists, long-term consumption can propel their physical qi and blood to its Peak, even without daily Cultivation.

One bottle of Essence Yuan Great Pill is often valued at ten thousand Gold, and it's so rare that it's hard to find on the market.
