"The effect of the elixir is spoken by you. Who can guarantee its miraculous power? How will you prove it?"
Just as Ji Chen's words fell, someone amidst the crowd immediately questioned.
Indeed, they had all heard of the Face Stabilizing Pill's effects, but whether it was true or not, no one could testify.
Moreover, a Ninth Grade elixir that could grant eternal youth? No one had ever heard of it before. Where did Ji Chen obtain it?
"Is there anyone in the Celestial Emperor's Mansion who would dare sell fake medicine? If this elixir lacks its rumored miraculous effects, how dare I deceive you all?"
Ji Chen calmly spoke, "I guarantee as the Pavilion Master of Dao Dust Pavilion and a disciple of Spirit Peak, if this elixir is false, I will compensate you tenfold."
"Hehe, whether this elixir is true, I would be more than happy to verify it for everyone."
At this moment, a laugh echoed in everyone's ears, and all eyes instinctively turned towards the hall's entrance.
Soon, a woman in purple attire, exuding supreme elegance akin to a celestial empress, gracefully walked in.
"Greetings, Purple Mist Saint!"
Upon recognizing the woman, everyone present couldn't help but be surprised and began to salute with clasped fists.
The woman was none other than the master of Ning Peak, Purple Mist Saint.
No one expected that the auction at Dao Dust Pavilion this evening would even draw her attention.
"Greetings, Saint."
Si Ruyan and Saintess Qing Ling approached, both disciples of Ning Peak, who had received considerable care from Purple Mist Saint during their time there.
"There's no need for formalities."
Purple Mist Saint casually waved her hand, exuding an aura of grace.
It is said that she has lived for thousands of years, yet she looks just around thirty, her unparalleled elegance rivaling even the Kunlun Saintess.
"Young one, how about letting me test this Face Stabilizing Pill?"
As she spoke, she approached Ji Chen with a smile.
"This..."
Ji Chen was somewhat stunned, clearly not expecting a Saint Venerable level figure to be attracted to this evening's auction.
Without waiting for his response, Purple Mist Saint reached out with her jade-like fingers, picked up the Face Stabilizing Pill from the wooden box, examined it for a moment, and directly swallowed it.
"Hm, this elixir didn't trigger any rejection of spiritual power within me, confirming it's non-toxic."
Her first words immediately rendered Ji Chen speechless.
What did she mean by confirming it's non-toxic?
Could the elixirs he was selling be poisonous?
This is the Celestial Emperor's Mansion; no matter how bold he was, he wouldn't dare do such a thing.
"But what about its effects? The so-called face-stabilizing effect is still not guaranteed." Soon someone commented.
"Huh?"
However, just as he finished speaking, a voice of surprise suddenly erupted, originating from Purple Mist Saint.
She seemed to notice something unusual, feeling a warm current within her, nourishing every inch of her blood vessels.
Moreover, everyone could clearly see that Purple Mist Saint's body was emanating a faint holy light, like a celestial maiden descending, her entire demeanor undergoing a significant transformation.
Shortly after, her appearance altered dramatically, becoming visibly younger in just a dozen breaths, from looking thirty to about twenty-three or four, transforming into a vibrant young woman.
"Is this real or not?"
This scene unfolded before everyone's eyes, but it still left them somewhat incredulous.
"This elixir not only has the effect of stabilizing the face but also allows one to return to their prime beauty, granting eternal youth." Ji Chen spoke, exuding utmost confidence; he never had any doubts about the Face Stabilizing Pill he refined.
"It's truly marvelous."
Even someone as composed as Purple Mist Saint, holding a copper mirror, couldn't help but display a look of astonishment upon seeing herself in it.
Having lived for thousands of years, she had always maintained her youth through powerful cultivation, but time is hard to reverse, and as it passed, her appearance continued to change, gradually aging.
Unexpectedly, after taking the Face Stabilizing Pill, she reverted to her youthful appearance of twenty-three or four, instantly rejuvenating.
Furthermore, she could feel a special force flowing within her, keeping her appearance perpetually at this age.
"This Face Stabilizing Pill is indeed genuine. Although it's uncertain if the medicinal power will persist indefinitely, I estimate it should last over a thousand years." Purple Mist Saint spoke.
These words immediately drove many female disciples present into a frenzy.
With the Saint Venerable's personal assurance, they evidently had no doubts about the pill's efficacy.
"I'll take this elixir for ten Spirit Crystal Stones..."
At this moment, Ji Chen's voice sounded, momentarily startling everyone present.
"You still want to charge me Spirit Crystal Stones?"
Purple Mist Saint was also taken aback, her face showing a mix of amusement and disbelief, "I vouched for your elixir, and yet you are being so ungrateful?"
Ji Chen scratched his head, "The effects of my Face Stabilizing Pill have always been like this; even without anyone vouching, it remains effective. Besides, ten Spirit Crystal Stones is indeed a bargain..."
"That makes sense."
She nodded, "Very well, I am in a good mood tonight; giving you ten Spirit Crystal Stones is no big deal."
With that, Purple Mist Saint flicked her jade hand, placing ten Spirit Crystal Stones on the table in front of Ji Chen.
"If you have any other good elixirs in the future, remember to notify me first."
Holding the copper mirror and admiring her own beauty within it, she left this remark and departed Dao Dust Pavilion without turning back.
"Ahem, originally there were three Face Stabilizing Pills this night, but now that Purple Mist Saint used one, only two remain, senior and junior sisters..."
After her departure, Ji Chen cleared his throat twice, scanning the young female disciples from various peaks present.
"I'll pay ten Spirit Crystal Stones for one!"
"I'll also offer ten Spirit Crystal Stones for the other one!"
"Do you think you can get one for ten? I bid twelve Spirit Crystal Stones!"
"I offer fifteen!"
"Twenty!"
Before Ji Chen could finish his words, the female disciples present immediately started throwing out their prices, bidding intensely, raising the price rapidly with their chatter.
Watching their competitive bidding, Ji Chen was somewhat startled as well.
They said that Spirit Crystal Stones are the most rigid currency in the Celestial Emperor's Mansion and are very scarce, yet he hadn't expected these female disciples to have so much stored up.
And in order to maintain their extraordinary beauty, each one seemed to have gone mad, as the prices they were offering had already exceeded Ji Chen's expectations.
