Chapter 273: Retreat! Xiao Yi Xian in Danger!

"With these ten thousand spiritual medicine pills, it should be enough for Zi Yan to eat for a few months."

Thinking this, Gu He directly took out nearly half of the spiritual medicine pills from the system space and piled them on the ground.

The stacks of boxes piled up were even taller than Zi Yan.

Seeing the sudden appearance of a pile of wooden boxes, Zi Yan curiously opened one to take a look.

"Wow!"

"So many spiritual medicine pills!"

After seeing the contents of the box, Zi Yan exclaimed in amazement, then eagerly opened the rest of the boxes to check.

"Teacher, are all these for me?" Zi Yan, squatting on the ground and opening boxes, looked up at Gu He with her big, black eyes, full of anticipation.

"Who else likes to eat these things besides you!" Gu He stated plainly.

"Hehe, seems like it!" Rubbing the back of her head, Zi Yan chuckled, then turned to shout at Han Yue behind her, "Junior sister, come over and help me count how many there are!"

Hearing Zi Yan's words, Han Yue didn't hesitate and skillfully squatted down to help Zi Yan count the number of spiritual medicine pills.

Just then, Gu He suddenly spoke, "Zi Yan, Han Yue, for the next period, I need to go into retreat! You should practice diligently and strive to make a breakthrough by the time I come out."

"Ah, going into retreat again? How long will it be this time?"

"Teacher, rest assured and go into retreat. I will practice diligently following Sister's lead."

Hearing Gu He was going into retreat, Zi Yan complained while Han Yue was very understanding. For someone of Gu He's cultivation level, it was quite normal to go into retreat for several months.

"Cough!... Han Yue, just focus on your own cultivation, and definitely don't follow your sister's example!"

Hearing their responses, Gu He quickly added a reminder.

"Hmph! Teacher, what's wrong with learning from me? I won't lead her astray," Zi Yan said, seemingly picking up on Gu He's disdain.

"Alright, that's all I had to say. I'm leaving now!" Seeing Zi Yan getting serious, Gu He didn't explain further and chose to leave swiftly.

After saying this, Gu He's figure turned into a streak of light and shot out of the inner courtyard.

...

In the mountains behind the inner courtyard, Gu He chose a small valley as his retreat location.

And most of the people attending this auction were there for these poisons.

When the black-robed person entered the venue, the auction just happened to start.

One by one, poisons were placed on the circular stone platform in the middle of the auction stage.

Then, a white-haired old man slowly walked onto the stage and said to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted you could join us at the Nine Poison Auction House. Today's auction items will not disappoint you..."

"Old man, hurry up and start, why dawdle?" The white-haired old man had just begun to speak when he was urged by the people below.

Seeing this, the white-haired old man could only laugh awkwardly and then shouted with all his might, "The first item of today's auction, a fourth-grade poison, the Crack Pattern Demon Flower, starting price, fifty thousand gold coins!"

As the old man announced the starting price, a flurry of bidding voices immediately erupted from below.

"I bid sixty thousand gold coins!"

"I bid seventy thousand gold coins!"

"Eighty thousand gold coins! This Crack Pattern Demon Flower is mine, Li Shan."

As a burly voice rang out, the fierce bidding in the auction house suddenly came to a halt, followed by whispers of discussion.

"Li Shan is actually attending the Nine Poison Auction too!"

"It is said that Li Shan's cultivation has reached eight-star Dou Ling. He's notoriously ferocious in this region and should not be provoked."

"I bid one hundred thousand gold coins!"

Suddenly, in the quiet auction house, a crisp voice rang out.
