Chapter 1912: Regret

Mr. Chen looked closer and saw faint golden lines from where Qu Changfeng had pointed.

What is this? Mr. Chen was surprised. He had been trading pills for so many years, but he had never seen such lines before.

For some reason, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the scent of this pill was oddly familiar.

However, Mr. Chen was certain that no such pill existed in his Chengjun Auction House. With a hint of regret, he could only shake his head.

A look of disappointment crossed Qu Changfeng’s face as he carefully took back the grade 5 meridian cleansing pill, tucked it away, and prepared to leave.

That was the only one he had left now.

Just then, a deep, resonant voice rang out from the doorway, filling the room along with the jingle of wind chimes. “Mr. Chen, you must help me this time!”

Soon, a middle-aged man who was 8 feet tall and had a broad face quickly walked in. When Mr. Chen saw the person, he immediately smiled and said, “Elder Wu, if there’s anything I can help you with, just say the word!”

The middle-aged man immediately spoke up, “Mr. Chen, I know that Chengjun Auction House deals mainly in pills, and I’m here today to ask about a specific one. Our sect master at Tianwu Sect is in urgent need of this pill and is practically at his wit’s end trying to find it.”

“Looking for medicinal pills again?” Mr. Chen glanced in surprise at Qu Changfeng, who hadn’t yet left, then back at the middle-aged man, his eyes revealing his intrigue.

What’s going on today? Both the second-ranked duelist, Young Master Changfeng, and an elder from Tianwu Sect have come looking for this type of pill.

“What is this medicinal pill?”

The middle-aged man hurriedly explained, “It’s called Five Elements Spirit Purifying Pill. One of our new disciples at Tianwu Sect happened to buy it in the free-trade area of the Spirit Refinement ​​Spirit Refining Domain. It only cost 200 crystals at that time. Little did we know, after taking the pill, his spiritual root aptitude shot up from rank 3 to rank 6.”

“Old Chen, you must have heard—our sect master at Tianwu Sect has only one son. Although he’s been sharp and gifted since childhood, with a powerful soul, his spiritual root aptitude is poor. He’s been stuck in the Nascent Soul Stage with no progress. The sect master has ventured through countless secret realms and sought out numerous pill refiners, yet it’s all been in vain. So you can imagine how desperate he is to obtain this pill now that he knows it exists!”

The middle-aged man, Wu Guangping, was the Administrative Elder of the Tianwu Sect and had a good relationship with Mr. Chen. As a result, he couldn’t help but start to ramble.

After hearing Wu Guangping’s words, Mr. Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.

He suddenly looked over at Qu Changfeng and said, “Young Master Changfeng, would you mind letting me take another look at the meridian cleansing pill?”

Taking the pill from Qu Changfeng, Mr. Chen gently sniffed it. He paused in thought for a moment before suddenly exclaiming, “It’s Five Elements Spirit Purifying Pill! I remember now!”

Looking a bit excited yet filled with regret, Mr. Chen turned to Qu Changfeng and Wu Guangping. “I think I know where the pill you’re looking for came from. Both of your pills were likely crafted by the same person—a young man, around 18 years old, am I right?”

As he said this, Mr. Chen immediately noticed the excitement and tension on the faces of Qu Changfeng and Wu Guangping.

This left him staring at the meridian cleansing pill in his hand, feeling so frustrated he could almost bang his head against the wall.

So, that young man’s pill has been such a rare treasure! If only I’d accepted it back then, the auction house would likely have gained widespread fame by now!

Mr. Chen deeply regretted it!
