Chapter 6: Xiao Yan killed the deacon elder of the Yunlan Sect?
The entrance to the Mittel auction house.
As soon as Xiao Yan arrived here, he saw Ya Fei standing on the steps.
Her long red dress was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.
Concealing her shock, Ya Fei took the initiative to greet her.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, it's been a long time."
A smile was on her face, but the surprise in her eyes was impossible to hide.
She dared not be negligent towards anyone capable of killing a deacon of the Yunlan Sect.
"Miss Yafei."
Xiao Yan nodded.
Without exchanging pleasantries, he went straight to the point.
"I need some Grade 5 medicinal herbs."
The list was handed over.
The list contains the names of seven or eight medicinal herbs, each of which is used in fifth-grade elixirs.
After taking the list and glancing at it, Ya Fei looked up.
"What does Young Master Xiao Yan need these medicinal herbs for?"
His tone was tentative.
Is it for making medicine? Or is it for someone else?
The boy in front of me looks only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Grade 5 medicinal herbs are used by only a handful of people in the entire Gama Empire.
Without answering, Xiao Yan simply looked at her.
Silence is more effective than any answer.
Ya Fei wisely refrained from asking further questions.
"plz follow me."
......
Mittel Auction House, warehouse area.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, the aroma of various medicinal herbs wafted out.
Ya Fei walked in front, with Xiao Yan following behind.
"Three Snow Spirit Ginsengs."
Take a jade box off the shelf and open it to examine it.
It's in good condition and is old enough.
"And two purple Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms."
Then I took down another box.
Xiao Yan glanced at it and nodded.
He couldn't afford a fifth-grade medicinal herb the size of a fingernail under normal circumstances.
But things are different now.
Now that he has the strength of a one-star Dou Wang, gold coins are nothing to him.
Ya Fei placed several medicinal herbs on the table.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, we have all of these here."
"We don't have the last ingredient, the Thousand Spirit Grass, in our warehouse."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly.
Thousand Spirit Grass is the most essential ingredient for refining the Quick Spirit Pill.
Without it, all the other medicinal herbs are just for show.
"but."
Ya Fei changed the subject, "There happens to be one at today's auction."
Xiao Yan looked at her.
"When will it start?"
"One hour later."
"take me."
......
VIP room.
The best location at the Mittel auction house.
From here, you can clearly see the entire auction stage, but people outside cannot see inside.
Ya Fei personally led him in and poured him a cup of tea.
She sat down and didn't rush to leave.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked casually.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, have you heard about what happened at the Yunlan Sect?"
Looking at her, Xiao Yan remained silent.
"I heard that Elder Kuzue was murdered."
She put down her teacup and looked at Xiao Yan.
"Does Young Master Xiao Yan know about this?"
"I killed him."
Xiao Yan said calmly.
Ya Fei's hand froze in mid-air.
She didn't expect Xiao Yan to admit it so directly.
There was a few seconds of silence.
Ya Fei withdrew her hand, and a smile returned to her face.
"Young Master Xiao Yan is truly...unexpected."
His tone was much more polite than before.
They killed people from the Yunlan Sect and still dared to swagger into the auction house to buy things.
They're either fools or they're fearless.
Xiao Yan is clearly not a fool.
There's only one answer: he's not afraid of the Yunlan Sect.
At fifteen, I am not afraid of the Yunlan Sect.
What does this mean?
Ya Fei was filled with turmoil, but she showed nothing on her face.
Having lived in Wutan City for so many years, she knows very well what should be said and what shouldn't be said.
"The auction is about to start, I'll go and get ready."
Stand up, Ya Fei.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, please call us anytime if you need anything."
Ya Fei walked out of the VIP room.
The moment the door closed, she leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh.
A fifteen-year-old Grand Dou Master? No, someone capable of killing a Seven-Star Grand Dou Master, at least a Dou Ling, or even...
Ya Fei dared not think any further.
He shook his head and walked towards the auction stage.
......
VIP room.
Xiao Yan picked up his teacup.
We must get our hands on the Thousand Spirit Grass.
The cultivation speed of the Speed-Up Pill doubled, and three months was enough time for him to significantly improve his strength.
He put down his teacup, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair.
An hour is not a long time.
I closed my eyes for a moment, and then I heard a noise downstairs.
The auction has begun.
Looking down through the glass, the hall was already full of people.
Although Utan City is not large, it has many wealthy people.
Ya Fei stood on the auction stage, more radiant than ever before.
She changed from the red dress to a purple one, and her hair was styled in a new updo.
"Welcome everyone to today's auction."
The sound was clear and crisp, with a unique gentleness.
"The first item up for auction is a Grade 3 elixir, the Qi-restoring Pill."
"After taking it, a large amount of battle qi can be restored in a short time, which is equivalent to having an extra life in critical moments."
Starting bid: 50,000 gold coins.
Immediately, someone in the audience raised a sign.
"Fifty-five thousand."
"Sixty thousand."
"Seventy thousand."
Xiao Yan watched the commotion below with no interest whatsoever.
He has no use for third-grade pills right now.
The sole purpose of coming here is for the Thousand Spirit Grass.
The auction continued.
Second-grade cultivation technique, no interest.
I still have no interest in fourth-rank combat skills.
I have even less interest in rare minerals.
Every time Ya Fei announced an item for auction, she would glance towards the VIP room.
She knew what Xiao Yan was waiting for.
One item after another was sold, and time ticked by.
"I believe this next item will be of interest to some."
Consort Ya took a jade box from the servant and opened it.
A vibrant green herb lay inside, emitting a faint glow.
"A fifth-grade medicinal herb, the Thousand Spirit Grass."
"I don't need to elaborate on its effects; those who understand will naturally understand."
Starting bid: 200,000 gold coins.
There was a moment of silence in the audience, and then someone raised a sign.
"Two hundred and one thousand."
"Two hundred and twenty thousand."
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
Xiao Yan looked down and didn't rush to make a bid.
When the price reached 300,000, the number of people bidding noticeably decreased.
"Three hundred and one thousand."
A middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes shouted.
"Three hundred and twenty thousand."
Another voice.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand."
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth.
"Three hundred and sixty thousand."
Xiao Yan held up the sign.
The hall fell silent for a moment.
The people in the VIP room made their move.
Ya Fei glanced at the VIP room, her face expressionless.
"The VIP room guest offered 360,000."
"Are there any higher ones?"
The middle-aged man looked grim and hesitated for a long time before finally lifting his arm.
"360,000 for the first time."
"360,000 for the second time."
"360,000 for the third time."
The hammer falls.
"make a deal."
Xiao Yan put down the sign.
I've got the Thousand Spirit Grass.
......
Backstage at the auction.
When Xiao Yan walked in, the Thousand Spirit Grass had already been packed up.
Consort Ya personally handed over the jade box.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, this is your Thousand Spirit Grass."
Xiao Yan took it, opened it, and glanced at it.
It's in very good condition, even better than he expected.
"How much?"
"Three hundred and sixty thousand."
Take out the card and hand it over.
Ya Fei didn't answer, looking at him as if she was making a decision.
After a moment, she spoke.
"Consider this Thousand Spirit Grass a gift from the Mittel Auction House to Young Master Xiao Yan."
No money required.
It's free.
Xiao Yan looked at her without saying a word.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, there's no need to overthink it."
Ya Fei smiled.
"Just consider it making friends."
"it is good."
Without being polite, Xiao Yan accepted the jade box and turned to leave.
Watching her departing figure, Ya Fei stood there in place.
More than 300,000 gold coins were given away just like that.
Normally, she would never do such a thing.
But Xiao Yan is different.
A person who can kill a deacon of the Yunlan Sect at the age of fifteen has unlimited potential for future achievements.
Is it worth spending 300,000 gold coins for a chance to make friends?
value.
As Xiao Yan walked out of the auction house, he looked back once more.
Mittel Auction House.
Ya Fei.
He knew perfectly well that the woman wasn't doing charity work.
The reason I gave him the Thousand Spirit Herb for free was because I valued his potential.
It doesn't matter.
What's done is done; you can repay the favor later if you have the chance.
Putting away the jade box, Xiao Yan headed towards the Xiao family residence.
