Ya Fei's Suspicion
Mittel Auction House, the largest auction venue in Wutan City, is also affiliated with the wealthiest family in the Gama Empire: the Mittel Family.
When it comes to wealth in the Gama Empire, the Mittel Family is probably second to none.
In the Gama Empire, the Mittel Family, the Nalan Family, and the Mu Family are known as the three giants of the Gama Empire. These three major families have a hand in the empire's business and military circles, among others, and their power cannot be underestimated.
"Yan Er, what brings you to the auction house with your father today?" Xiao Zhan arrived at the Mittel Auction House with several elders and Xiao Yan.
Today's auction has a treasure, the Mystic High-Rank Cultivation Method Wind Scroll Technique, and Xiao Zhan absolutely cannot let this Mystic High-Rank Cultivation Method fall into the hands of the Galio Clan and the Oba Clan.
Currently, the highest-level Cultivation Methods of the three families are only Mystic Middle-Rank. If anyone obtains a Mystic High-Rank Cultivation Method, it might elevate the entire family's strength to a new level.
Xiao Yan said, "I found a cave left by a predecessor in a mountain in the wilderness and discovered some things I plan to sell."
Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the magnificent and spacious hall, and he walked towards a room on the side. On the door of the room, the three golden characters "Treasure Appraisal Room" were printed.
Pushing the door open, the room was somewhat empty. Only a middle-aged man was sitting bored on a chair by the table. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the middle-aged man raised his head. When he saw that the person was Xiao Yan, his face immediately changed, and he said with joy, "Young Master Xiao Yan, are you here to appraise treasures?"
Xiao Yan replied with a smile, "I obtained some trinkets and plan to sell them along with this auction."
Xiao Yan took out three bottles of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid from his Storage Ring and placed them on the appraisal table.
He had already refined a Rank-2 Pill a month ago, but refining a Rank-2 Pill does not make one a Rank-2 Alchemist. To become a Rank-2 Alchemist, one must also ensure a certain success rate.
"This is?" The appraiser blinked his eyes in confusion. The middle-aged man carefully picked up the white jade bottle and sniffed it lightly at the mouth of the bottle. After a moment, his expression changed slightly, and he looked at Xiao Yan again with a hint of awe in his eyes: "Young Master Xiao Yan, are you an Alchemist?!"
Although he thought about it and shook his head, Xiao Yan was only fifteen years old recently. The entire Wutan City knew about the celebration of Xiao Yan's fifteenth birthday.
In another three or four months, it will be the Xiao Clan's collective coming-of-age ceremony.
A fifteen-year-old boy with high cultivation and an Alchemist? How is this possible?
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "I found this in a cave. It's called Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. It can increase the speed of Dou Qi cultivation, but it is only effective for those below the Dou Zhe realm."
"And there are no side effects, and the medicinal power is mild."
Hiss! The appraiser took a deep breath. Rank-2 Pills! The price is not cheap! "Young Master Xiao Yan, please wait a moment. I need to invite Master Gu Ni from our auction house to appraise the Spirit Liquid!" Rank-2 Pills have a minimum price of 10,000 gold coins or more. If it is really as Xiao Yan said, then the price will be even higher.
The price of three bottles would be 100,000 gold coins! After waiting in the room for a while, the middle-aged man returned again, but this time, he also brought an old man in green robes with slightly gray hair, Master Gu Ni.
On Master Gu Ni's chest, there were no golden stars painted, but instead, something that looked like a medicine furnace was painted. On the surface of the medicine furnace, two silver ripples flickered with noble brilliance.
That is the proof of a Rank-2 Alchemist.
Seeing Xiao Yan, even the always arrogant Master Gu Ni put down the airs of a Rank-2 Alchemist and greeted him with a smile: "Young Master Xiao Yan, long time no see. Let me appraise it first."
With Xiao Yan's talent, he will definitely become a Dou Ling in the future. He, a Rank-2 Alchemist, can walk sideways in Wutan City only because there are no Dou Ling realm cultivators.
The ability of a Rank-2 Alchemist cannot invite a Dou Ling.
Master Gu Ni used some special equipment to check. After some inspection, he nodded and said, "Indeed, as Young Master Xiao Yan said, it has reached the level of a Rank-2 Pill. Ya Fei is currently hosting the auction, so I will arrange for it to be put up for auction."
Xiao Yan walked into the auction house and sat next to Xiao Zhan. At this time, under the lights in the center of the auction house, a beautiful woman in a red dress was using her charming and bone-numbing voice to explain the functions of the items in her hand to everyone in the venue.
Mittel Auction House's chief auctioneer: Ya Fei, a beauty almost everyone in Wutan City knows. That mature and charming style makes many men fall at her pomegranate skirt.
Xiao Yan had also been to the auction house several times and had to say that even Xiao Yan admired Ya Fei. She was naturally charming, a born fox spirit.
When he saw Ya Fei, Xiao Yan understood King Zhou.
Who wouldn't want to be King Zhou and raise such a fox spirit?
"Hehe, everyone, the auction house has just received a new auction item. Interestingly, this item was consigned by Young Master Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan." Ya Fei suddenly smiled at Xiao Yan's location.
She even gave Xiao Yan a wink, as if thanking Xiao Yan for bringing her a business deal.
Xiao Yan looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, silently chanting Xun Er in his heart to resist the temptation of the fox spirit.
Hearing Ya Fei's explanation, Xiao Zhan was also uninterested. His son had already reached the Dou Zhe realm, and this Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was basically useless to him. He needed to save gold coins to compete for the Wind Scroll Technique.
In the end, the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid that Xiao Yan refined himself sold for a total of 100,500 gold coins, allowing Xiao Yan to instantly experience how profitable an Alchemist really was. Materials costing less than 10,000 gold coins were sold for ten times the profit!
In the end, the Wind Scroll Technique was undoubtedly won by Xiao Zhan. The Galio Clan and the Oba Clan were so angry in front of the wealthy Xiao Zhan that their faces turned ashen.
After leaving Auction Hall No. 1, Xiao Yan returned to the Treasure Appraisal Room again. Master Gu Ni and Ya Fei were already waiting.
Seeing Xiao Yan's arrival, Ya Fei, dressed in a red dress, chuckled, "Xiao Yan, little brother, what brings you to patronize my auction house?"
Ya Fei's pair of watery, narrow, beautiful eyes stared directly at Xiao Yan as she approached him with cat-like steps, swaying her waist. The first time Xiao Yan saw Ya Fei, he thought she was from the Snake-People tribe; her waist twisted even more than a snake!
Damn fox spirit, Xiao Yan cursed inwardly.
"Ya Fei-jie is outstanding in her abilities; entrusting the auction to Ya Fei-jie is the best choice."
Ya Fei took out a gold card and handed it to Xiao Yan, bending slightly and leaning close to Xiao Yan, she whispered, "Xiao Yan-didi, could you introduce the Alchemist who helped you refine the medicinal pills to this sister?"
Master Gu Ni had already discovered during the inspection that the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was not obtained from a cave as Xiao Yan had said, because the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was very fresh.
Xiao Yan instantly felt a wave of numbness throughout his body. If his will wasn't firm, this fox spirit's whisper alone would have been enough to make any man submit.
Xiao Yan's face didn't flush, and he calmly accepted the gold card, smiling, "Ya Fei-jie, to be honest, I refined it myself."
Ya Fei giggled, covering her mouth and laughing, "Don't tease this sister, you're only fifteen years old. Even Pill King Gu He was just an apprentice at fifteen, not even a First-Rank Alchemist. How could you possibly refine a Second-Rank medicinal pill?"
Xiao Yan spread his hands, pretending to be innocent, and said, "Since Ya Fei-jie doesn't believe me, then there's nothing I can do."
Ya Fei extended her index finger, lifted Xiao Yan's chin, and gazed into Xiao Yan's eyes, saying, "If you are a Second-Rank Alchemist, I'll give you the entire auction house."
