43 The Marvelous Dan Beads! (1/2)

“I have spent my entire life in the field of auctioning. I have struck the gavel thousands of times. However, it is my first time introducing such a dan in an auction. It is only a middle class dan, but it is of an unbelievably high quality.”

Upon hearing Guan Wanshan’s words, especially the fact that the middling dan possessed such a high quality, many people subconsciously smiled.

It was definitely the first time!

The Pei Yuan Dan.

From the perspective of an ordinary person, this kind of dan was truly marvelous. Just one piece could heal nearly all illnesses and strengthen one’s physical condition. However, this was only true for ordinary people.

For cultivators, while the Pei-Yuan dan was not the lowest class of dan, it was rather close to that level. Strictly speaking, by stating that it was a ‘middle class’ medicine, Guan Wanshan was actually overpraising it!

As its name suggested, Pei-Yuan Dan was merely a kind of normal dan that the sects gave to their rookies to strengthen their bodies and train in the initial steps of their cultivation. Once they had built a solid foundation, there was no longer any need for such a low-level medicine.

Basically, it was a valuable thing for ordinary people, but garbage for cultivators.

However, it was precisely this lowly medicine that had been abruptly refined to such a level that it was even radiating the legendary dan clouds!

This was something no one had ever seen before.

“Usually, we identify items on our own, but today, for this legendary treasure, please allow me to invite the hierarch of the Reaching Cloud Hall - Xiao Moyan, presbyter of the Green Mountain Sect - Li Changqing, and presbyter of the Cyan Cloud Sect - Meng Wufei on stage to judge the item.” Guan Wanshan bowed respectfully.

These three men, which even included the Patriarch of a major Sect, were the most powerful men in this room at the moment.

None of them hesitated as they immediately made their way onto the stage.

When faced with such a legendary item, the chance to examine it from close up was, of course, largely advantageous.

A purple jade bottle, which emitted a soft glow, was placed on an intricate platform.

Under the watchful gazes of the spectators, Guan Wanshan cautiously opened the bottle. Immediately, a white mist rushed out from inside the bottle.

Although the purple jade bottle itself was opaque, the moment it was opened, it glittered with a mesmerizing bright light. The next moment, the entire bottle had turned almost transparent. Everyone in the auction hall could clearly see the single bead of dan contained within the bottle.

It was precisely the dan that was radiating the warm and bright light that pierced even the walls of the opaque bottle. This scene had captured the attention of everyone in the audience.

Even though light was supposed to be blocked from exiting or entering this bottle, this supreme dan bead’s mystical glow had actually managed to penetrate through the walls of this bottle.

The white mist, which had gushed out from the bottle, coalesced above the bottle, forming a thin layer of fog. Unexpectedly, instead of dissipating, this fog was actually accumulating both in size and in density. Gradually, a cloud about two meters in diameter was formed over the bottle

As the mist continued to rush out of the bottle, the cloud continued to expand. It didn’t seem to have even the slightest intention of scattering.

The next moment, a delicate and light fragrance started to spread throughout the room. Although the fragrance was subtle, it had instantly permeated the entire auction hall. Anyone who inhaled it felt their spirits being lifted as the smell refreshed and relaxed them.

Within moments of its appearance, the delicate fragrance had already entranced the entire audience.

“This smell… This is absolutely from a supreme dan from the heavens!”

The prime dan-maker of the Reaching Cloud Hall, Shi Yue, trembled as he gazed at the bottle that contained the dan bead on the platform. An extreme obsession could be seen in his eyes, while his face had already turned into a deep red color.

He looked like he wanted to immediately rush onto stage, hug the bottle to his chest and never let go!

A dan bead with a dan cloud like this was something he had dreamed of his entire life.

To refine a dan bead to this extent, it truly represented the peak of the field of dan-making! No one could surpass that!

Li Changqing, Xiao Moyan and Meng Wufei, who were standing the closest to the dan bead, were also shocked!

The mystical dan cloud, which no one had seen for almost ten thousand years, actually existed in the real world?

And it was even right here in front of their eyes!

In front of the greed-filled gazes of the three men, Guan Wanshan capped the bottle. Only after the bottle was sealed did the cloud above began to waver. It slowly dissipated, scattering into white mist that travelled in all directions.

When the dan cloud finally disappeared, Guan Wanshan unexpectedly opened the bottle again. As pristine dan energy surged out from the bottle once more, a dan cloud began to form.

This action greatly angered people that worked in the field of dan-making as they stared at him like they were about to rip him apart.

Wasn’t this bastard purposely destroying the dan bead?

“Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. I am not intentionally damaging the supreme dan bead. I just wanted to double check the dan cloud. This dan bead is truly a wonder! Normally, the effectiveness of dan beads will disappear bit by bit when they’re exposed to light, but this dan bead here, can actually absorb natural energy from its surroundings. As long as it hasn’t been consumed, the efficiency will stay full anytime, anywhere! In other words, this supreme dan bead has created its own small circulation system within the world.”

Guan Wanshan sighed, “Before this, I believe that nobody would have expected the dan to have such an ability. It has never even been recorded in the dan-making recipes. This is truly the first time that it has been seen entering this world. The first mystical dan with dan clouds!”

As people exclaimed in wonder, the auction room instantly turned as noisy as a marketplace.
