Three days later, in the center of Wu Tan City.
The Mitel Auction House was the largest auction venue in Wu Tan City. It also belonged to the wealthiest family in the Jia Ma Empire: the Mite'er Family.
When it came to wealth in the Jia Ma Empire, the Mite'er Family was likely second to none.
The Mite'er Family had a long history and had developed in the Jia Ma Empire for several hundred years. Its connections could only be described as intricate and deeply rooted.
In the empire, the Mite'er Family, the Nalan Family, and the Mu Family were known as the Three Giants of Jia Ma.
Thus, with such a powerful background supporting it, no one dared target the auction house, no matter how tempting its profits were.
After breaking through to the ninth Du Qi stage, Mo Yu cultivated in seclusion for several more days. He then left the family and came to the Mitel Auction House to attend the auction being held recently.
Mo Yu had more or less forgotten most of his memories of the Original Work, but he still had some impression of Ya Fei's beauty.
Although he was no longer particularly interested in beauty, getting a glimpse of the goddess who was both fiery and alluring, and who was pursued by countless men, could be considered a consolation for the bitter cultivation he had endured these past few days.
Looking at the enormous venue at the end of the street, Mo Yu turned into a secluded alley and quickly put on the black cloak he had prepared earlier.
The enormous cloak covered him completely. Not only did it conceal Mo Yu's appearance, it even made his slightly slender Youth's figure look bloated. In his current appearance, even if Grandfather Steward Mo stood right in front of him, he probably would not recognize him at a glance...
After concealing his figure, Mo Yu nodded in satisfaction. It was not that he was being overly cautious. This time, in order to have enough funds to purchase some things he took a fancy to, he had prepared a Profound Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique for auction.
This Dou Technique was a Movement Dou Technique he had mastered in his Previous Life. Its value was fairly decent, and he had copied it out over the past three days.
The reason he had not brought it out earlier was that copying a Dou Technique onto a scroll consumed a great deal of Dou Qi and mental energy. Even with his current strength, which was only one step away from becoming a Dou Zhe, it had still taken him three days. A few months ago, it would probably have taken even longer.
Feeling the black Dou Technique scroll in his robes, Mo Yu could only choose to conceal himself like Xiao Yan, in order to avoid bringing himself unnecessary trouble.
After all, the Thunder Fire Bead was nothing special and was not particularly valuable. But while the Profound-tier Dou Technique meant little to Mo Yu, it could be called a treasure in Wu Tan City.
Once he was ready, Mo Yu slowly walked out of the alley and headed toward the auction house at the end of the street.
The Mitel Auction House's building was arranged similarly to the Gelin Weapon Auction House Mo Yu had visited before. As soon as he entered, a refreshing chill swept over him, like an air conditioner from his memories.
His gaze swept across the spacious, resplendently decorated hall. Mo Yu walked toward a room on the side. Three dazzling golden characters, "Appraisal Room," were printed on its door.
He pushed the door open and entered. The room was somewhat empty, containing only a Middle-aged Man sitting boredly in a chair beside a table. Hearing the door open, the Middle-aged Man raised his head and looked at the figure wrapped entirely in a black robe. His brows furrowed imperceptibly, but a professional smile quickly spread across his face. "Sir, are you here to have something appraised?"
"Mm." From beneath the black robe, a slightly hoarse voice belonging to a Middle-aged Man drifted out lightly.
It was merely a voice-altering technique. In his First Life, he had even seen uncles alter their voices to sound like little girls. Naturally, this small trick was effortless for him.
Mo Yu took two steps forward, casually pulled the black scroll from his robes, and gently placed it on the tabletop.
"What's this?" The Middle-aged Man blinked doubtfully. He casually picked up the black scroll and lightly rubbed his palm over it. Feeling the rough material of the scroll itself, his expression cooled slightly. When he looked at Mo Yu again, there was a trace of disdain in his eyes. "Sir, are you here to sell a Dou Technique?"
For convenience, Mo Yu had used an ordinary scroll when copying the technique earlier. Clearly, the other party had misunderstood something.
After all, regardless of its contents, even the material of a high-level Dou Technique scroll would be of the highest quality.
"What kind of Dou Technique is this? What does it do?" At that moment, the Middle-aged Man had no desire even to open the scroll. He asked indifferently.
"A Profound Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique, Nine Flashes of the Roaming Dragon. It can increase a Dou Zhe's movement speed. As professionals of the Mitel Auction House, you should know its value better than I do."
Mo Yu was not bothered by the other party's attitude and replied indifferently. In his heart, he did not attach much importance to this Dou Technique either.
"Oh? A Movement Dou Technique?" Upon hearing this, the Middle-aged Man's expression suddenly changed.
He had not expected this seemingly ordinary Dou Technique to be a Profound-tier Dou Technique—and a rare Movement Dou Technique at that.
Although a Profound Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique was not bad, as an appraiser for the Mitel Auction House, he had naturally seen quite a few and did not find them particularly unusual. A Profound-tier Movement Dou Technique, however, was different.
Movement Dou Techniques had always been relatively rare among the various types of Dou Techniques. Moreover, one that had reached the Profound tier could be said to be no inferior to some ordinary Profound Tier Mid-Grade Dou Techniques.
The Middle-aged Man opened the scroll with eager anticipation. As an appraiser for the Mitel Auction House, he clearly had a discerning eye. After spending roughly fifteen minutes examining it, the Middle-aged Man finally confirmed it.
This was indeed a rare Profound Tier Low-Grade Movement Dou Technique!
The Middle-aged Man's expression grew heated as well. He asked, "Sir, are you planning to auction this scroll of Dou Technique?"
"Mm. I heard you have an auction today, so arrange for it to be auctioned today."
"Hehe, Sir, you certainly have reliable information. Of course, that won't be a problem. Take this to Auction Room No. 1. An auction is indeed still being held there. Your Dou Technique will be auctioned shortly!" The Middle-aged Man smiled and handed over a pitch-black iron token.
"Mm." Mo Yu casually accepted the iron token and did not linger. However, just as he was about to leave the room, another stout Man dressed in a black robe entered.
Seeing this, Mo Yu Was Startled. Then, as if he had thought of something, the corner of his mouth curved into a knowing smile. He turned and left the room.
At the Same Time, the black-robed Man also noticed Mo Yu's attire and was startled as well. However, after seeing Mo Yu's departing figure, he grew somewhat puzzled.
That figure actually gave him a faint sense of familiarity.
The Middle-aged Man in the Appraisal Room scratched his head in confusion. After receiving two strange guests in succession, could black robes have become fashionable today?
He Shook His Head and stopped thinking about it, instead courteously welcoming the next guest...
I have something to take care of today, so this will be the only chapter for now.
