1873 Auction 1
However…

Haitian was an unfamiliar place to them.

Therefore, it was crucial for them to familiarize themselves with the market.

Lingyun had mentioned the presence of a small market outside of Haitian, so Gu Chaoyan decided to explore it first.

She intended to showcase her pills and gauge their reception among the people there. Their response would indicate whether the pills were sought-after in Haitian.

With a confident demeanor, Gu Chaoyan found herself in a positive mood as she contemplated the small market.

Meanwhile, Zhou Huaijin and the others busied themselves with arranging suitable accommodations for their large group. As the door to enchantment had opened, the world was on the verge of chaos, resulting in a surge of people flocking to Haitian. The available hostels outside were quickly filling up.

Settling down a sizable group would require considerable effort.

During this time, Gu Chaoyan retreated to the space to focus on pill-making. Her intention was not to create high-level pills but rather ones slightly more potent than Piaomiao Pavilion’s Fanghua Pill.

Within the space, she had medicinal fields and access to holy water. Huang Fu had procured an alchemy furnace from an unknown source, which she now utilized.

Refining pills had become second nature to Gu Chaoyan, and she had already gained substantial experience in the process.

Gu Chaoyan had a remarkably high success rate in producing pills. Out of every 10 pills, only a few would turn out to be defective. For instance, out of the 20 pills she had just made, only one was broken. Such a low rate of faulty pills was commendable.

With the pills in hand, Gu Chaoyan exited the space and found that their group had already settled down. They had secured accommodations in a relatively secluded hostel, which, like the hostels outside Haitian, did not accept money as payment. Instead, they required practical Dharma artifacts, enchanted armaments, or pills.
Zhou Huaijin presented the Dharma artifacts and enchanted armaments given to them by Gao Xiu, allowing them to smoothly move into the establishment. Although these enchanted armaments may not have been suitable for entering the Haitian Market, outside of it, they were highly sought-after items that many people couldn’t obtain.

Just as Gu Chaoyan entered her room, Lingyun hurriedly arrived with some news. “Elder Miss, there will be an auction tomorrow at noon. However, I heard that only two magical weapons and enchanted armaments are allowed to enter Haitian Market. Since there will be fierce competition for those two spots, our chances of winning the intermediate bid might be reduced.”

Lingyun herself was puzzled by this information. Having been to Haitian before, she knew that obtaining Dharma artifacts, enchanted armaments, and pills was relatively easy. In the small market she had visited, they would bid for a magical weapon or enchanted armament and then proceed into Haitian. There were always unsold magical weapons and enchanted armaments that couldn’t find buyers in the small market.
