"This brother is straightforward! Very well, you two inspect them one more time carefully!"
The middle-aged man then instructed the two elders to carefully inspect the Foundation Establishment Treasure Pills on the table.
Compared to the first inspection, this time, they were even more meticulous.
They used their Divine Sense to enter the Foundation Establishment Treasure Pills to check their internal condition, to prevent Duan Gujin from wrapping real pills on the outside while filling them with common Elixir Pills inside.
For Alchemists, they can use their Spiritual Power to probe whether the structure of the objects penetrated by their Divine Sense is the same as the outside.
If their Divine Sense detects impurities within the Elixir Pills or differences between the internal and external structures, they can determine that the Elixir Pills are counterfeit.
For High-level Alchemists, being able to accurately judge whether an Elixir Pill is consistent inside and out is an important indicator of whether they can become a High-level Alchemist.
This time, the two elders carefully inspected the Foundation Establishment Treasure Pills on the table for a full two hours.
After a busy period, they finally unanimously confirmed that the Elixir Pills Duan Gujin gave them were all genuine, without any fakes.
Moreover, they also discovered that the Elixir Pills Duan Gujin gave them were of very good quality, with a very high purity.
Once they confirmed that Duan Gujin's Foundation Establishment Treasure Pills were indeed without any issues, the middle-aged man immediately gave Duan Gujin two million Jiuzhou coins.
As soon as Duan Gujin obtained the two million Jiuzhou coins, shortly afterward, he had the middle-aged man procure various Spiritual Medicines worth five hundred thousand coins for him to refine Spirit Master Treasure Pills.
These were only part of the Spiritual Medicines listed in the Spirit Master Treasure Pill Elixir Recipe for his Cultivation; he did not let the middle-aged man purchase all the Spiritual Medicines. He was afraid of being seen through by the other party that he possessed the Blood Killing Sect's Elixir Recipe for the Spirit Master Treasure Pill.
After buying part of the Spiritual Medicines, Duan Gujin then acquired the remaining needed Spiritual Medicines from other auctions.
He did not rush to Cultivate immediately but instead hid all those Spiritual Medicines in the small courtyard where Tie Yi used to live.
Right now, he was not in a hurry to Refine all those Spiritual Medicines into Spirit Master Treasure Pills; the most important thing for him at the moment was to find every possible way to enhance his Cultivation.
After the Snow Mink Auction was over, those from the Snow Mink Auction started guessing about the true identity of Duan Gujin.
Duan Gujin did not realize that the Snow Mink Auction actually belonged to the Blood Killing Sect.
That night, the middle-aged man who had purchased the Spirit Master Treasure Pills from Duan Gujin called for the Alchemy Elders from the Blood Killing Sect who specialized in refining Spirit Master Treasure Pills.
The reason the middle-aged man had summoned the elder was that the Sect Elders of the auction unanimously agreed that the Spirit Master Treasure Pills refined by Duan Gujin were almost the same as those of the Blood Killing Sect.
And the Spirit Master Treasure Pills of the Blood Killing Sect are a closely guarded secret, so when the Alchemy Elders of the Blood Killing Sect heard that someone was actually selling over a hundred Elixir Pills with effects almost identical to the Blood Killing Sect's Spirit Master Treasure Pills, they furrowed their brows tightly, fearing that someone had leaked the Elixir Recipe for refining the Blood Killing Sect's Spirit Master Treasure Pills.
"If someone really leaked the Elixir Recipe for the Blood Killing Sect's Spirit Master Treasure Pills, that person deserves death!"
After hearing this news, the Alchemy Elder from the Blood Killing Sect responsible for refining Spirit Master Treasure Pills rushed to the Snow Mink Auction as if his buttocks were on fire.
The elder was a lean old man with a bit of white hair on his temples.
Despite the wrinkles on his face, his eyes were exceptionally bright and spirited.
The elder took a Spirit Master Treasure Pill that Duan Gujin had sold to the Snow Mink Auction and split it into two halves with a palm strike.
He sniffed it carefully, confirming that the Spirit Master Treasure Pill had no issues.
After a while, he swallowed the two halves of the Spirit Master Treasure Pill and began to savor it carefully.
15 minutes later, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Elder, what's the situation?"
The person beside asked.
"The Spirit Master Treasure Pill I just consumed is somewhat different from the orthodox ones produced by the Blood Killing Sect. This variation isn't due to inferior alchemy skills, but because the Elixir Recipe itself is slightly altered! It seems that there are several types of Spiritual Medicine that are completely different from those used by the Blood Killing Sect!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around the elder immediately became filled with curiosity.
"Elder, do you think it's possible that someone got hold of our Blood Killing Sect's Elixir Recipe and then altered some of the Spiritual Medicines?"
A Martial Artist pondered for a while before offering his conjecture.
"It's possible, but the Elixir Recipe for the Blood Killing Sect's Spirit Master Treasure Pill is not something that can be easily altered! We have tried many methods and researched many Spiritual Medicines, but in the end, we gave up on making any modifications! In our eyes, the Elixir Recipe for the Blood Killing Sect's Spirit Master Treasure Pill is absolutely impossible to alter! If someone in this world can truly change our Blood Killing Sect's Elixir Recipe, that alone would prove their Alchemy skill is extremely strong! What else did that person do?"
The Alchemy Elder asked.
"That person also purchased some Spiritual Medicine from us. Elder, please take a look!"
The middle-aged man immediately responded, handing over a list of Spiritual Medicine that he had secretly copied to the Alchemy Elder.
Upon receiving and reviewing it, the Alchemy Elder noticed that most of the Spiritual Medicines were for refining the Spirit Master Treasure Pill, and there were three types of Spiritual Medicines that were not on the Blood Killing Sect's Elixir Recipe.
The Alchemy Elder frowned and thought for a while, then he matched those three types of Spiritual Medicines with the four types listed in the Blood Killing Sect's Elixir Recipe.
"It seems that person really altered some of the Spiritual Medicine components!"
After some thought, he felt certain that Duan Gujin would definitely buy other Spiritual Medicines from different auctions.
So, he hurriedly asked others to inquire at other auction houses whether someone had purchased a large amount of Spiritual Medicines today.
Since the Blood Killing Sect was considered the top Major Sect in the area, those auction houses would give them some face.
Very soon, the Alchemy Elder gathered a complete list of the large amount of Spiritual Medicines that Duan Gujin had purchased from other auctions.
"Yes, this is a complete Elixir Recipe for refining the Spirit Master Treasure Pill!"
The Alchemy Elder began to analyze it carefully; after half an hour had passed, he finally deduced the nature of Duan Gujin's Elixir Recipe.
"I never anticipated that in this world, there really would be an expert capable of altering the Elixir Recipe for the Blood Killing Sect's Spirit Master Treasure Pill," the Alchemy Elder remarked with a sigh.
"Elder, are you saying that the Elixir Recipe for our Blood Killing Sect's Spirit Master Treasure Pill has been stolen?"
The people around him turned pale upon hearing the Alchemy Elder's words.
They understood all too well that the Sect Elders of the Blood Killing Sect would never allow anyone to steal the Elixir Recipe from the Blood Killing Sect.
The Blood Killing Sect would definitely seek out those who stole the Elixir Recipe and ensure that the Recipe did not spread outside.
And now, as the Alchemy Elder mentioned that someone had altered their Spirit Master Treasure Pill's Elixir Recipe, it implied to the others that not only did someone steal the sect's unique Elixir Recipe, but they also modified it.
Undoubtedly, the person who stole the Elixir Recipe of the Blood Killing Sect would face death.
"I don't know what exactly is going on. If that person really stole our Blood Killing Sect's Spirit Master Treasure Pill's Elixir Recipe, they would presumably refine the Elixir Pills according to our recipe. Yet, they did not follow our recipe and instead changed about twenty percent of the Spiritual Medicine composition. Following their own recipe, one can indeed refine Elixir Pills nearly identical to those produced using the orthodox recipe of the Blood Killing Sect," the Alchemy Elder sighed and continued reflectively.
Everyone present was proficient in the Art of Alchemy. Listening to the Alchemy Elder's explanation, they all knitted their brows tightly.
