The Strongest Businessman

After winning the herb, Pavilion Head Galahad decided to settle down in his seat and merely obeserve the ongoing auction below.

The other three big shots also knew that Galahad decided to go all-out in obtaining the Solarburst Chrysanthemum because he planned to give up on the Dawnlight​ Heavenly Connection Pill. Individually, they prepared themselves for the upcoming battle for the High Earth Ranked Pill!

On Balcony 1, Anastasia was calmly observing the vicinity while waiting for the Auctioneer to bring out the pill.

"The pill will be mine." Anastasia confidently said.

"Of course it will be yours, my lady." The male bodyguard she had replied with reverence.

On Balcony 18, Emilia Sparks was merely playing with her pet as she amusedly smiled to it. She was already prepared for the expenses it will cause her to get this pill.

"Conquering the Mortal Severing will only be a matter of time after getting that pill. By then, I will be able to prove to you that my decision was not a mistake!" A strange light appeared in Emilia's enchanting eyes as she spoke.

On Balcony 10, Pill King Anderson sat quietly as his fingers were tapping the edge of the armrest nonstop. He was showing signs of being tensed as it also showed his desire to snatch the pill from the hands of the other two.

Below, on the stage, the curvaceous and beautiful lady that presented the item which was the Solarburst Chrysanthemum came in carrying a small vial of purple crystal. It could be seen that within the glass was a pill!

"Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I present to you the main item of tonight's auction! The High Earth Ranked Pill, Dawnlight Heavenly Connection Pill!" The auctioneer presented the pill by opening it and letting some of its medicinal air to seep out of the bottle.

"Another high class item! It seems like the Premier Hall has been gathering quite the amount of quality goods!"

"Oh my, what strong potent medicinal strength, it has!"

"I feel my cultivation base churning just from smelling the air it produces! What a high class pill!"

"I wonder how the Premier Hall obtained such a miraculous pill and where it came from."

People started to engage themselves with conversations​ and started to anticipate the introduction of the Auctioneer has prepared for the pill.

"I'm sure everyone is curious about the Dawnlight Heavenly Connection Pill's origin. So to satisfy your questions, let me provide you with the answers! This pill was retrieved from the ruins of an Alchemist Grandmaster a month ago from the monthly expeditions done by our Hall. We were able to discover that the name of this Alchemist Grandmaster was Alchemist Albert Gustavo but he is also known for another title, the Twilight Alchemy Saint!" The auctioneer narrated.

The crowd was shocked as they remembered various information about the Twilight Alchemy Saint!

"What?! The famed Twilight Alchemy Saint, known for his Alchemist Technique, "Twilight Silver Star Hands" that allowed him to produce pills that did not have any less than 70% of it's medicinal effects!"

"It was a shame that he was reported to have died 100 years ago due to encountering an illness that even he was not capable of concocting an antidote for but his pills really shook the entire Mystical Clouds Country. Being one of the 4 Alchemists​ that are able to bring about pills of 70% efficacy, they were known as the Four Saints of​ Alchemy in the Mystical Clouds!"

"It is a true fortunate event that the Premier Hall has found the Tomb of such an amazing expert, enabling us to witness one of his creations!"

People marvelled at the dumb luck that the Premier Hall possessed but every business have their lucky breaks every once in a while like how it was reported that the Thousands Treasure Pavilion of this city was able to excavate a Low Heaven Ranked Treasure at their expedition site. This Low Heaven Ranked Treasure caused a great uproar that the Thunder Clan was only able to get such a treasure after paying an exorbitant price of 5,000 spirit stones!

"Hahaha, our Premier Hall was indeed lucky to retrieve such a treasure from the resting place of sir Twilight Alchemy Saint but we were only able to get it after countless hundreds of casualties! Going back to the pill, it is a legendary pill that has retained over 85% of its medicinal properties! The effects of the pill is equally amazing as it allows its consumer to fully awaken his physical and spiritual self that will allow the user to enter a state of epiphany which brings​ him closer to the heavens and the earth through the majestic light of dawn! It easily creates an ideal state of mind that any user can use to breakthrough any bottleneck especially for cultivators who have reached the Heavenly Connection Realm which requires a person to create a connection between himself and the heavens and earth! Truly a pill that will cause even top-level powers to go crazy for!" The auctioneer spoke in utter reverence because to reach such a realm is just like a dream for a person without talent like him.

After his introduction, the crowd went wild from the excitement they got from the effects of the pill! It was a true miracle pill that will make any person to genius from mundane!

"Start the bidding already!"

"Yeah!"

"Don't leave us hanging here!"

"Right! Let's get it on with the auction already!"

The crowd of cultivators was rather impatient as they wanted to quickly obtain the Dawnlight Heavenly Connection Pill as soon as possible!

"It seems​ like the audience is rather impatient but I fully understand where you are all coming from so to satisfy your desires, let us start the auction with the price of 200 spirit stones!" The auctioneer announced.

The original majority of the crowd died down along with the end of the auctioneer sentence! 200 spirit stones right of the bat which is equal to two hundred thousand gold coins! Such a large amount was something that not everyone possessed but after careful analysis, some were able to accept after considering its background, retained medicinal properties and heaven defying effects!

It should be known how rare a pill of the creation of the Four Saints of Alchemy which was currently known as the Three Alchemy Saints of the Mystical Clouds due to Twilight Alchemy Saint dying from an unfortunate illness. That alone raised the market value of the pill and if you add in the fact that it retained more than 80% of its medicinal effects and it's pill effects, it's opening price is already considered as reasonable.

"210!"

"220!"

"230!"

Although it may be quite of a stretch for some, this did not hinder them from bidding. Several minutes later, the bids have already reached 800 and this was without the three big shots intervening yet!

On the topmost balcony, Dylan was intrigued by the subject of the Four Saints of Alchemy so he asked about it to Azelmek by indirectly questioning about the expedition of the tomb of the Twilight Alchemy Saint.

"Hallmaster Azelmek, how were you able to find the tomb of that​ Twilight Alchemy Saint? We're you able to find other treasures? How about information regarding the other three Saints of Alchemy?" Dylan asked.

"Just as expected, sir Null has decided to raise this topic. We have only managed to find it by chance underground when we were out doing an expedition in the mountains. We have found out that it was the tomb of the legendary Twilight Alchemist Saint after fully investigating the entrance. We have made countless operations in order to know what was inside of the tomb, all of which involved a large amount of casualties, and we were able to discover that it was divided​ into 4 main rooms. We had no luck opening the four rooms whatsoever but thankfully we were able to find some cabinets and storages in the hall that contained some treasure that we then retrieved including the pill. Also, It seems like sir Null is particularly keen on other information about the Three Saints. Is this because you have some connections with them?" Azelmek smiled as he questioned Dylan as he narrated their findings regarding the cave.

"Hahaha, it's simply because I'm intrigued by what those Three Saints of Alchemy are in comparison to that old geezer Gustavo." Dylan purposefully called the Twilight Alchemy Saint intimately like so in order to insinuate that he had some past relationship with the old man.

It was safe to say something like this because Alchemist Grandmaster Gustavo was already and dead men tell no tales. It is also safe to assume that Alchemist Grandmaster Gustavo had none or scant number of family member or else his resting place would not be in some underground cave. Even if he had relatives, it's not like they would be able to know every encounter that Gustavo made. It was also for the reason of making Azelmek believe that he truly was an expert that once roamed unfettered in the whole country.

"Sir Null, has some relations with the Twilight Alchemist Saint?!" This caused a great amount of shock to Azelmek which led him to believe that sir Null was truly someone who once travelled the entire country.

"Well, yes. It's unfortunate though that old geezer Gustavo died before we met once more." Dylan nodded and looked in a distance as he seemingly reminisced his 'times' together with the Twilight Alchemist Saint.

That simple nod made Sheldon and Azelmek psyched because they truly hit the jackpot! They were able to rope in such a great man! If word got out of this, the number 1 and 2 faction of the city would cry in jealousy.

"It is truly unfortunate. But you don't have to worry, sir Null. The other three are all comparable to Lord Gustavo in skill! They are also known to be able to create pills that have 70% medicinal properties and efficacy! For example is Lady Serenity Alchemy Saint who was rumored to be able to create pills without even looking at them and even while sleeping! Also, Lord Desolate Alchemy Saint who was rumored to be able to use the nature as his cauldron! The last is Lord Heavens Alchemy Saint who is rumored to easily make pills that invoke the heavenly pill tribulation and pass it like it was nothing!" Sheldon spoke with heartfelt reverence to those almighty figures in Alchemy.

"Really, now? Hmm.. it seems like while we were chatting the auction has neared it's closing." Dylan merely smiled in light of this. He was really excited to discover and learn more about his new world and it's well-known legends!

Azelmek and Sheldon immediately turned their attention downwards as they watched the auction reach its conclusion. They never expected what the end result would be.

"2000 going once! 2000 going twice! and .. sold to the man at Balcony 2!" The auctioneer announced as the three big shots had expressions of defeat in their faces while the man at the Balcony 2 smiled indifferently.
