10 The Marvelous Supreme Dan? (1/2)

”This egg... Could it be some mythical creature's egg? What if it hatches... heh, heh, heh...”

All of a sudden, Ye Xiao's eyes were filled with an endless desire.

Such happiness!

[Hahahahahaha... How could I ever imagine that anything inside this quirky place would be ordinary?!

Only a super mythical creature would be able to brazenly leave its egg here, wouldn't it?

Look at the table... Hmm, obviously, all the spiritual qi in this space is gathering here to feed the egg. Only a fraction of the spiritual qi arriving at this egg are rejected and thrown away after entering the egg...

It turns out that all the purple qi I was using for cultivation is actually the inferior spiritual qi which this egg doesn't care about...] Ye Xiao was left speechless.

”I wonder when this egg will hatch...” After spending some time imagining what sort of creature was inside the egg, Ye Xiao carefully inspected the purple table, expecting that some other surprises might show up.

It must have been his lucky day, because yet another surprise dawned upon him.

There was a small delicate purple box under the table. Inside this box, there were about a dozen round beady pills with the size of soybeans. They were all enveloped by a weak white halo of light.

”This is Pei-Yuan Dan [1].” Ye Xiao was knowledgeable and clear-sighted. How could he not know this stuff?

However, Pei-Yuan Dan was nothing extraordinary in the Qing-Yun realm...

But these Pei-Yuan Dan were at a very high level - they could very well be of the highest quality. When they were created, there wasn't any efficacy lost due to it being restrained by spiritual qi. They had almost broken through the limits of dan!

Anyway, Ye Xiao had never been able to produce something at such a high level in his prior life.

However... even if it was of the highest level, it was still just a Pei-Yuan Dan.

The cheapest of the dans!

”And this is the only benefit I can get?” Ye Xiao felt speechless as he put the Pei-Yuan Dan beads into a jade bottle and left the space while sighing and groaning.

”The spiritual qi I get is the discarded spiritual qi from that strange egg, and the extra profit I get are actually some cheap dan beads. I really can't think of a word to say!”

......

”Steward, how much money do we have in the family? How much can I use?” Ye Xiao asked the steward.

”Uhh... Well...” The steward seemed to feel awkward, ”The money in this family naturally all belongs to you, my lord, but the salary of the general and the spoils of war are all for some certain uses. As for those left for you to use, they are... are all in your own closet.”

What he meant was obvious: For those given by the general, he could freely use them; but for those that wasn't given to him, he'd better not plan on touching them.

Ye Xiao stared and sighed feebly.

He knew about his father. General Ye was truly an extremely nice boss to his soldiers. Most of his income was used to pension the relatives of the soldiers who had sacrificed themselves in wars, as well as those who were left disabled...

This family didn't really have much money left for their own use...

Thanks to the departed Lord Ye who had saved some gold and silver by acting recklessly, Ye Xiao still had about 500 taels of gold. But because he had lent some money to Zuo Wuji, he only had 250 taels of gold left.

He also took another 500 taels of gold from Lan Langlang by blackmailing him...

”Poor! Truly poor!” Ye Xiao was struggling.

”Forget it. Go on with your own business. Just leave me alone.” Ye Xiao waved his hand and instructed the steward to move away.

Ye Xiao collected his thoughts for a long time and eventually decided to change his appearance. For him who used to be the world-renowned Xiao Monarch, it was child's play to change his appearance by transferring his spiritual qi. Besides, now he was... an expert of the Earth Origin Realm.

Although the Pei-Yuan Dan wasn't good stuff in Ye Xiao's eyes, it should still be considered as a one-of-a-kind tonic in this mortal world... So it would be for the better if he wasn't discovered as the one who released them to the public...

Otherwise, there would be endless troubles for him.

A face with a dark and rough look, whiskers that seemed to have been growing for over 30 years, and an extremely muscular body.

That was exactly what Ye Xiao looked like after disguising himself. After checking himself out in the mirror over and over, he eventually nodded with satisfaction, and then he put on a bamboo hat as an extra form of insurance to keep his true identity hidden.

”The Ling-Bao Hall Salesroom!”

Ye Xiao was standing in front of the biggest salesroom in town. It was where tomorrow's auction was scheduled to be held. It was already bustling with people concerning themselves with decorating this salesroom in preparation for the auction that would take place the following day.

What Zuo Wuji wanted, would appear at this auction...

”Well, the name of the salesroom... is truly decent.” Ye Xiao observed the busy staff as he deeply thought. He then murmured in his head, ”Wasn't there a Heaven Attaining Salesroom in... I wonder if all these salesrooms are connected to each other, perhaps they're just branches?”

He threw his thoughts aside for now and stepped through the door.

”Please hold on, warrior.” A man with a goatee from the salesroom came up to him and smiled fawningly, ”The auction will not start till tomorrow...”

It was an obvious statement: Don't come here before tomorrow.

”I came to bring business.” With a raucous voice, Ye Xiao continued, ”How can I not know that the date for the auction is tomorrow? That is exactly why I am here today. Go fetch me your boss. Ask him if he wants some supreme dan on his auction. If you don't do this quickly, I will turn around and leave!”

”Supreme dan?” The man with the goatee frowned lightly.

In the Land of Han-Yang, there would only be one in every one thousand people capable of making drugs. For a drug-maker to reach a level at which he could create a dan, not even one in ten thousand drug-makers would reach such a level! As for a dan, it was a wonderful thing that even an unfathomable cultivator couldn't easily obtain!
