Thank Me
Entering the massive city gates, Xiao Yan raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the magnificent Gama Holy City, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Such a vast scale, truly befitting the title of Royal Capital, whether in terms of area or prosperity, the Gama Holy City was undoubtedly the best.
"It's been eight years since I've been here." Xiao Yan clicked his tongue in admiration, a hint of emotion in his voice.
When he was younger, Xiao Yan would visit the Nalan Family in the Gama Holy City with his father every year, until Nalan Yanran joined the Yunlan Sect eight years ago and became Yun Yun's personal disciple. Coupled with the engagement annulment, he hadn't set foot in the Gama Holy City for eight years.
Hai Bo Dong wasn't interested in the boring architecture. After scanning the surroundings, he suddenly asked, "By the way, when are you going to the Yunlan Sect?"
"In another month or two, I suppose." Xiao Yan pondered, calculating the time until the Three-Year Agreement with Nalan Yanran.
"Still that long? Then let's go to the auction house first and see if there are any remaining materials for the Rejuvenating Spirit Purple Pill." Hai Bo Dong suggested.
"Alright, I've never been to the largest auction house in the empire when I came to the Gama Holy City before. Hopefully, there will be some good stuff." Xiao Yan rubbed his chin and smiled.
Soon, Xiao Yan, admiring the prosperity of the Gama Holy City, finally arrived at his destination. His footsteps slowed, and he raised his head, gazing at the massive building and unique symbol that appeared at the end of the street.
A look of surprise couldn't help but emerge on his face as Xiao Yan sighed, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, truly worthy of being the headquarters of the Mittel Family. This scale is simply far beyond what the branch in Wutan City can compare to."
Not only was the decoration luxurious and extravagant, but the entire building was a seven-story department store. People streamed in and out from all directions.
Entering the auction house, soft sunlight poured down from the skylight in the center. The noise from the outside seemed to be isolated by some special force. Just a door away, it was like being in two different worlds.
The moment he entered, Xiao Yan's keen Soul power sensed more than a dozen gazes sweeping over him, some even from Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit) level experts.
"Worthy of being one of the three great families of the Gama Empire, this is quite the undertaking."
In the hall on the first floor, countless crystal counters were filled with a dazzling array of goods. Beside the counters, people bustled about.
Various rare items were displayed inside the counters, each with a price tag below. However, the price of each item was at least 30,000 gold coins.
30,000 gold coins was a lot of money for ordinary people, but for Xiao Yan's current wealth, these were not worth his attention.
Hai Bo Dong proudly introduced, "This is just the first floor. The first floor of the auction house is for the people of the Gama Holy City to buy things. They are basically all kinds of miscellaneous items. The real important things are on the upper floors."
"Oh?" Xiao Yan became somewhat interested upon hearing this.
"The auction house is also strictly divided into Heaven Rank, Earth Rank, Mystic Rank, and Yellow Rank, just like the levels of Cultivation Methods. That's the second to fifth floors, with the Heaven Rank on the fifth floor being the highest. However, the Heaven Rank auction house is rarely opened even once every few years. But once it is opened, it means that the items to be auctioned by the Mittel Auction House are definitely of the highest caliber. Almost all the experts and leaders of forces in the Gama Empire will flock here."
"Once, the final treasure auctioned at the Mittel Heaven Rank Auction was a sixth-order Earth Fire Scale Crocodile Dragon egg."
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. A sixth-order Magical Beast egg! As long as it hatched and reached adulthood, it would definitely be at the Dou Wang (Fighting King) level. If nurtured well, it might even reach the sixth order! That would be the strength of a Dou Huang!
"The Earth Rank is opened once a year for the annual auction, the Mystic Rank is once a month, and the Yellow Rank is opened every day, mainly auctioning items consigned for sale and medicinal herbs and Magic Cores obtained by mercenary groups." Hai Bo Dong introduced to Xiao Yan while leading him to a place that looked like a staff backstage area.
Suddenly, a commotion began to come from not far away. Xiao Yan immediately showed a helpless expression and shook his head, because he had already sensed it.
A pair of beautiful legs wearing red short boots came into view, the heels making a clicking sound on the ground. As always, the woman loved to wear cheongsams, which perfectly showed off her beautiful curves.
The commotion was undoubtedly the sound of people discussing when they saw such a woman.
Ya Fei, the person in charge of the auction house in Wutan City.
A pair of beautiful eyes, like peach blossoms brewed from spring water, casually swept across the hall. When she saw Xiao Yan, her gaze suddenly froze, and her footsteps came to a halt.
"Xiao Yan didi (little brother)?! It's been three years, and you've become even more handsome and dashing. Even jiejie (older sister) can't help but be a little tempted." Ya Fei quickly approached, smiling as she looked at the delicate young man in front of her. Her full breasts, wrapped in a brocade robe, appeared round and perky. Every step was a visual impact.
Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "Long time no see, Ya Fei jie (older sister). You've become even more beautiful and charming."
Xiao Yan glanced at Hai Bo Dong, who didn't like being watched, and said, "Ya Fei jie (older sister), can we find a quiet place?"
Ya Fei also understood how to observe people's expressions and nodded lightly, leading Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong up to a higher floor from a back staircase. The two chatted as they walked, and the atmosphere seemed very pleasant.
"Hehe, Ya Fei, this is our family's office area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. As the Acting Supervisory Elder, don't you even know this?" Suddenly, a voice came from the upper floor of the staircase, interrupting the atmosphere. A young man looked down at Ya Fei's perfect figure, his eyes lewd, and his breathing couldn't help but quicken.
Xiao Yan's Soul power swept over him. This person had just entered the Dou Shi (Battle Master) level at this age, so his talent was not bad.
"I will take responsibility for my actions. Please move aside." Ya Fei said in a deep voice.
The lewd young man glanced at Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong behind Ya Fei and said with a sinister smile, "Hehehe, I was wondering why you wouldn't accept my pursuit. So you have such unique tastes, liking this kind of fair-skinned pretty boy. Oh, or do you like the old one behind you?"
Ya Fei's face was gloomy, and her fists were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. However, she did not argue with him, but instead planned to go around him and continue upwards.
It was obvious that this person was not doing this kind of deliberate provocation for the first time.
"Idiot, you won't even know how you die." Xiao Yan slowly shook his head and said.
"Boy! You're asking for death!" Already dissatisfied with Xiao Yan, he instantly seized the opportunity to lash out after hearing Xiao Yan's mockery, directly grabbing at Xiao Yan's clothes.
With a *boom*, a weak wave of fire erupted from Xiao Yan's body. The azure flames devoured the outstretched hand like a wolf. In just an instant, the entire right hand fell off like charcoal.
"Ahhh!!! My hand!!!"
Hearing the screams, several guards hurried over, and when they saw the person lying on the ground screaming, their expressions changed drastically. This was the grandson of a family elder! Who burned his hand off! Xiao Yan glanced indifferently at the youth who had rolled down from the second floor, and said sharply, "Thank me, I just saved your life."
