Five-star Dou Practitioner!

After leaving the auction house, Flowing Cloud immediately returned to his room.

He eagerly immersed his consciousness into the System Space.

With a thought, a cyan pill appeared in Flowing Cloud's palm. It was the Profound Origin Pill.

The moment the Fifth-order Pill appeared in the room, its medicinal fragrance filled the entire space.

A Fifth-order Pill truly was extraordinary!

Flowing Cloud marveled inwardly, then impatiently activated the Devouring Divine Ability to devour the medicinal power contained within the Profound Origin Pill.

An inexplicable devouring force surged from within Flowing Cloud and directly enveloped the Profound Origin Pill in his hand.

Then, a stream of pure energy was drawn into Flowing Cloud's body by that devouring force.

Flowing Cloud closed his eyes and immersed himself in that energy. The Heaven Devouring Demonic Body operated rapidly, directly integrating the energy into his limbs and bones.

In order to increase his strength, Flowing Cloud frantically devoured the energy within the Profound Origin Pill.

As the amount of energy he devoured increased, a faint white glow gradually emerged over Flowing Cloud's body.

The night quickly passed, and before he knew it, the next morning had arrived.

Dawn had broken, and everything outside was utterly silent.

At that moment, a powerful muffled sound suddenly erupted from within Flowing Cloud, who was immersed in devouring the Profound Origin Pill.

The next instant, a formidable aura radiated from Flowing Cloud's body.

At the same time, Flowing Cloud's body jolted violently. The energy within the Profound Origin Pill was swept into his body like a crushing tide and fused into his limbs and bones.

A moment later, Flowing Cloud's eyes snapped open. A tangible gleam flashed through his ink-black eyes.

Flowing Cloud slowly stopped devouring the Profound Origin Pill and let out a breath.

Feeling the incomparably abundant power within his body, he felt indescribably refreshed.

This feeling of devouring energy and growing stronger so quickly was simply incredible.

Boom!

Flowing Cloud threw a punch, stirring up a fierce gust of fist wind that carried an extremely oppressive force.

As he carefully sensed the changes within his body, a smile could not help appearing on Flowing Cloud's lips.

Five-star Dou Practitioner!

In just one night, he had actually advanced from a one-star Dou Practitioner to a five-star Dou Practitioner, crossing four levels at once.

If word of such a rapid surge in cultivation spread, it would absolutely shock the world.

Flowing Cloud looked at the Profound Origin Pill in his hand. It had shrunk by a third.

In other words, he had only devoured one-third of the energy within the Profound Origin Pill last night.

After all, this was a Fifth-order Pill. The energy it contained was simply too immense.

If the Heaven Devouring Demonic Body had not also required a vast amount of energy to strengthen his body, helping Flowing Cloud consume the excess energy, he would never have dared to recklessly devour such a high-grade pill as the Profound Origin Pill.

At his current level, he was only a Dou Practitioner. Forcefully devouring a high-grade pill like the Profound Origin Pill would undoubtedly have been courting death.

Flowing Cloud estimated that once he devoured the remaining two-thirds of the energy in the Profound Origin Pill, he should be able to break through to the Dou Shi Realm.

Looking at the sky, he saw that the sun had already risen. Flowing Cloud put away the remaining Profound Origin Pill and walked out of his room.

After cultivating for an entire night, he was already starving.

After eating the breakfast Ya Fei had carefully prepared for him, Flowing Cloud instructed her not to let anyone disturb him before returning to his room.

Then, with a thought from Flowing Cloud, a Blood-colored Scroll appeared in his hand.

The instant he held the Blood-colored Scroll, an icy, piercing sensation swept through his entire body.

This Blood-colored Scroll was naturally the Myriad Beasts True Scripture from the System Space.

Looking at the Myriad Beasts True Scripture scroll in his hand, Flowing Cloud felt somewhat excited.

This was a Heavenly Tier Cultivation Technique!

An unmatched cultivation technique that not even a Dou Saint might possess!

Just as Flowing Cloud was about to eagerly open the scroll, the Dou Qi within his body surged out of control and poured into it.

Flowing Cloud's expression changed. Why was this scroll so strange?

In an instant, the Blood-colored Scroll in his hand suddenly erupted with dazzling crimson light.

The next moment, countless profound pieces of information flooded into his mind, and Flowing Cloud felt his head grow dizzy...

Meanwhile, within the Mittel Auction House.

In a courtyard.

"What?!"

"The next auction is being held in half a month?"

An elderly voice tinged with surprise suddenly rang out from the courtyard.

"Master Gu Ni, this is the Young Master's decision."

Inside the courtyard, Ya Fei spoke with a faint bitter smile on her beautiful face.

Standing opposite Ya Fei was an elderly man in green robes with somewhat graying hair.

On the old man's chest was an emblem resembling a medicine cauldron. Two silver ripples gleamed with noble radiance on its surface.

This old man was actually a Second-grade Alchemist!

His face was ruddy, and although his green robes appeared ordinary, a faint light flowed across them.

Clearly, the robes had been enhanced with some form of magical crystal protection. An irrepressible pride rested upon his otherwise plain old face.

This was something every alchemist possessed.

This elderly man was Gu Ni, the Second-grade Alchemist stationed at the Mittel Auction House.

The Mittel Auction House's great influence was largely due to this Second-grade Alchemist.

In a small place like Wutan City, a Second-grade Alchemist was unquestionably an important figure, someone no one dared offend lightly.

"Young Master?"

Gu Ni frowned upon hearing this.

"This is simply nonsense!"

A flash of anger crossed Gu Ni's aged face.

"How can we prepare enough auction items in such a short time?"

A gloomy expression flashed across Master Gu Ni's face.

"Isn't he making things difficult for you?"

"Ya Fei, don't worry. I'll go reason with him!"

As he spoke, Master Gu Ni prepared to leave the courtyard and find Flowing Cloud.

He believed that, as the family's Second-grade Alchemist, his words still carried some weight.

He had worked with Ya Fei for many years and had witnessed all her efforts over the years.

They had a fairly good relationship. Master Gu Ni had no descendants and had practically regarded Ya Fei as his own daughter.

It was also with Master Gu Ni's help that Ya Fei had been able to quickly take control of the entire Mittel Auction House and establish herself in Wutan City.

"Master Gu Ni!"

"Please help me one more time!"

Seeing that Master Gu Ni was about to go confront Flowing Cloud, Ya Fei immediately grew anxious and grabbed his sleeve.

She did not want to offend Flowing Cloud, the future head of the Mite'er Family, over this matter.

If that happened, all the effort she had put in over the years would go to waste.

"Master Gu Ni, the Young Master's arrival in Wutan City is an opportunity for Ya Fei!"

"I truly don't want to miss it!"

Ya Fei looked at Master Gu Ni with a determined expression.

"Sigh, you girl, you're always so strong-willed!"

Seeing Ya Fei like this, Master Gu Ni sighed.

"Go prepare a Demonic Origin Flower and a Second-grade wood-element Magical Beast Core. I'll do my best to refine a Second-grade Pill for you."

Upon hearing this, a brilliant smile appeared on Ya Fei's lovely face.

"Thank you, Master Gu Ni!"
