The waitress asked, "Sir, please tell me."
Her expression was calm, as if no matter how excessive Ye Yun's request might be, she wouldn't frown.
However, Ye Yun had no such interest and explained with a smile.
"This seat feels that the Xuanjing might not be enough. May I temporarily add some items to the auction?"
"The shortfall of Xuanjing can be deducted directly from the auction price."
At first, he was confident in his tens of thousands of peak-grade Xuanjing, but after seeing the auction catalog, he felt it wasn't quite enough.
Fortunately, not long ago, by bestowing pills upon Lin Xueyan and the others, he had obtained some extremely high-quality seventh-grade peak and even eighth-grade immortal pills that were of no use to him.
Now, it was time for them to serve their purpose.
The waitress, after hearing his request, showed a troubled expression.
"Sir, once the auction begins, items cannot be added freely."
To this, Ye Yun smiled faintly and said, "What I am selling are extremely high-quality pills."
After all, auction organizers generally took a commission, so having more high-priced items would significantly increase their income.
As expected, upon hearing this, the waitress pondered for a moment and said,
"Please wait a moment, sir. I will report this to the guild leader."
"Certainly, go ahead."
Ye Yun nodded, allowing the waitress to leave the room.
After she left, Fang Zhiwei couldn't help but say.
"If my disciple remembers correctly, once this kind of auction begins, unless it's a particularly valuable item, they generally don't allow new items to be inserted. Do you truly have high-quality immortal pills?"
"Naturally, otherwise why would I ask her to go?"
Hearing this, Fang Zhiwei's face showed curiosity.
"Then what grade of immortal pills do you plan to sell? Are they fifth grade or above?"
In the Heavenly Domain, pills were all immortal pills. Although they were divided into nine grades like on the Xuan Heavenly Continent, the quality of immortal pills in the Heavenly Domain was vastly different from the lower realm.
A fifth-grade immortal pill, as Fang Zhiwei mentioned, was considered high-grade in the Heavenly Domain and was typically only accessible to cultivators in the Celestial Immortal realm.
As for sixth-grade pills, only those in the True Saint realm could afford them, making them relatively rare and precious immortal pills.
Seventh or eighth-grade pills were practically never seen. When they appeared, they would be treasures that major auction houses would vie to promote.
This Dark Auction, being an upper-middle-tier auction, would likely require at least fifth-grade immortal pills to be permitted to insert an item.
To her curiosity, Ye Yun smiled and said.
"Since I'm selling them, what's the point of ordinary pills..."
As he was speaking, the waitress who had left earlier returned with a young man in green.
Upon seeing Ye Yun, the young man in green smiled and said.
"Greetings, sir."
"I am the guild leader of this auction. You wish to add an item to the auction temporarily, correct?"
Ye Yun glanced at him. The man's cultivation was around the Earth Immortal triple stage, which was quite formidable.
Then, he nodded in greeting.
"It is indeed this seat. Since you know, may I ask for your indulgence?"
"Well, that depends on what you are selling. If the quality is rather ordinary, then perhaps..."
The young man in green wore a troubled expression.
Ye Yun didn't waste time with pleasantries and asked directly.
"Just tell me, what grade of pill or higher is acceptable?"
Hearing this, the young man in green smiled and said.
"If you have a peak fifth-grade immortal pill, it's not impossible to let you insert it."
After all, they could only earn a substantial fee from at least peak fifth-grade immortal pills.
If it were any lower, delaying the auction's proceedings for it would not be worthwhile.
Ye Yun, after hearing his words, nodded and said.
"Peak fifth-grade... Alright, what do you think of these pills?"
With that, Ye Yun extended his palm and, as if grabbing candy, produced several shimmering pills.
Initially, the young man in green was somewhat speechless at his action.
After all, any decent quality pill would be stored in a premium container to prevent the loss of medicinal properties.
Ye Yun, however, had no container, not even a wooden box. Did he treat them like candy?
"Sir, your approach is too... frugal..."
The young man in green intended to comment on the lack of presentation, but the moment he saw the pills in Ye Yun's hand, his expression froze.
In Ye Yun's palm were a total of five pills. As soon as they were revealed, a glow and an intoxicating medicinal aroma filled the air.
"These... these pills... are..."
He seemed too shocked to articulate his words properly.
It wasn't his fault; the impact of these few pills was too great.
As the guild leader of this auction, he had handled hundreds, if not thousands, of pills and had never encountered one that could compare to what Ye Yun held.
After a long moment, he couldn't help but ask.
"Sir, are these sixth-grade or higher pills?"
Ye Yun smiled faintly. "Indeed. These pills are the peak seventh-grade Blood Spirit Pill, the Dustless Pill, the Profound Yin Pill, and the Heavenly Saint Pill."
He then pointed to the one in the center, emitting the richest aroma.
"As for this one, the Seven Illusions Divine Soul Pill, it is an eighth-grade immortal pill."
"Their effects are..."
These pills were obtained from his disciples a while ago, when he didn't want to waste his return chances and had "harvested" them.
Since their effects were varied and he had no use for them, he decided to sell them now.
"There are only these few in total. What do you think?"
His words stunned the guild leader in the room, as well as Fang Zhiwei, who had some understanding of immortal pills.
"Only?" The way he said it was simply...
In their eyes, Ye Yun was the ultimate show-off.
So much so that the young man in green couldn't help but swallow when he looked at these immortal pills.
"Sir... no, Your Excellency, are you truly going to auction these immortal pills?"
After all, seventh and eighth-grade pills were extremely precious top-tier medicinal substances even among the major powers in the Heavenly Domain.
Ordinary people wouldn't even get to see them, let alone consume them. Yet, this person was selling five at once, making him feel as if he were dreaming.
However, Ye Yun didn't understand his shock and casually said.
"I'm not selling them, am I going to show them off? Just tell me, do you want them or not?"
"Yes! Of course, we do!"
The young man in green quickly nodded. "To be able to auction such treasures is an honor for our auction house!"
Ye Yun, however, was indifferent to all of this and casually handed over the pills.
"Alright. When this seat is buying items later, deduct it directly from these."
When the young man in green took the pills, his hands were trembling, as if afraid of damaging them.
After receiving the pills, the young man in green said respectfully.
"With your pills, the estimated price should reach two hundred thousand peak-grade Xuanjing. Please take note, Your Excellency."
"Mm, I understand."
Ye Yun nodded. This price was about what he had expected.
Peak seventh-grade pills, three to twenty thousand peak-grade Xuanjing each.
As for the eighth-grade pill, although it was only entry-level eighth-grade, it could still fetch one hundred and fifty thousand peak-grade Xuanjing.
Then, the young man in green said respectfully, "Then, Your Excellency... may I go make the arrangements now?"
"Mm, go ahead."
Ye Yun nodded.
The young man in green then left. Before leaving, he instructed the waitress.
"You must serve this distinguished guest well. Whatever his request, you must obey unconditionally, understand?"
"Mm, I understand..."
The waitress nodded. The young man in green then nodded, finally flashed a smile at Ye Yun, and departed.
As for Ye Yun, he paid no attention to the man's attitude. Instead, he looked at Fang Zhiwei, who was watching him with a strange expression, and asked in confusion.
"What is it, Zhiwei? Is there something on my face?"
