Xiao Yi Xian: This Is Bad, She's Here for My Young Master

"Stop joking around. Where would Black Rock City find a Sixth-Rank Alchemist capable of refining a sixth-rank pill?!"

"Exactly! Master Otto and President Frank are only fourth-rank alchemists. How could they possibly refine a sixth-rank pill?"

"Is Black Rock Auction House here to make fools of us?!"

The eerie silence did not last long before countless bidders began chattering noisily.

Although Black Rock City was one of the Jia Ma Empire's major cities, it was still merely a city within the Jia Ma Empire.

The strongest person in the city was the Black Rock City Lord, who possessed Spirit Dou strength, while the most accomplished alchemists were Otto and Frank, the president and vice president of the city's Alchemist Guild.

Yet they were both only fourth-rank alchemists.

Asking them to refine a sixth-rank pill was simply impossible. Or rather, such a request was impossible throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Except for Gu He, the man known as the Pill King!

Other than him, there was no second Sixth-Rank Alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire.

Watching the uproarious venue, the black-robed auctioneer could not help wiping the sweat from his forehead. The pressure was immense.

It was not that he thought there was anything wrong with the auction itself. Rather, this auction should never have appeared here in the first place. Whether it was the blood essence of a sixth-tier Monster Beast or a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, such lofty terms had no business appearing in a small place like Black Rock City.

But he had no choice. Whenever he recalled that terrifying existence who had appeared shortly before the auction began, the black-robed auctioneer swallowed hard, fear flashing through his eyes.

At the same time, his gaze fell upon the location of private room number one.

As the auctioneer for this event, he knew of Lin Ran's existence and was well aware of the requirements for the two Spirit Dou Pills Lin Ran had put up for auction.

If anyone could purchase the blood essence of the sixth-tier Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor, it could only be him.

"Everyone, please remain calm. If anyone is interested in the blood essence of the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor, please indicate so."

The auctioneer gave a light cough and spoke, and the previously boisterous auction hall immediately fell silent.

They were not alchemists and could not refine sixth-rank pills, so naturally they could not accept the offer. If they casually spoke up and got entangled in this matter, that would be a real disaster.

The existence capable of producing the blood essence of a sixth-tier Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor was not someone they could afford to provoke.

The silence in the auction hall lasted for nearly five minutes.

Just then, Otto and Frank hurried back into the auction hall. They happened to hear the auctioneer's words and were both stunned.

"What's going on?"

"I have no idea. Refining a sixth-rank pill? What's that about?"

The two old men exchanged looks, utterly baffled. Looking at the strangely silent hall, Otto sighed. "It seems something interesting happened while we were gone. Never mind, let's return to the private room first."

"Alright!"

The two quickly returned to their private room, where the president of Black Rock Auction House happened to be as well.

"That is the situation."

The president kept his head lowered, occasionally wiping the sweat from his brow. Clearly, the pressure on him was enormous. "I had no choice, City Lord. That expert forced this blood essence into my hands just before the auction began. I simply could not stop her."

"Useless!"

The City Lord barked angrily, his expression shifting. Seeing Otto and Frank return, he could only wave his hand. "You may leave for now."

"Yes, City Lord..."

The president retreated, drenched in sweat. Before leaving, he cast Otto and Frank grateful looks.

Clearly, if these two influential figures had not arrived in time, he feared that he...

Otto and Frank exchanged a glance, immediately understanding. Their gazes followed the Black Rock City Lord's eyes and landed on the graceful figure outside a nearby private room.

"City Lord, what should we do?"

"Let's wait and see..."

The City Lord shook his head. "She is not here for us. Her strength far surpasses mine, and anyone capable of producing the blood essence of a sixth-tier Monster Beast must possess a formidable background. It is naturally best if we can avoid a conflict with her."

Otto and Frank nodded slightly. Though they were alchemists, they understood the intricacies involved. This mysterious expert was probably here for that person.

The black-robed auctioneer had also kept his attention on Lin Ran's private room. Yet in the end, he sighed. Just as he was about to announce that the auction had fallen through, a voice suddenly rang out, making him greatly relieved.

"To refine a sixth-rank pill, the blood essence of this mere sixth-tier Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor is not enough."

The calm voice broke the silence in the hall. Instantly, countless gazes followed the sound and landed on private room number one on the second floor.

"This guy..."

The identity of the person in private room number one was far too mysterious. No one had competed with him whenever he made a bid. Yet no one had expected that he would dare to speak up over the blood essence of a sixth-tier Monster Beast. It was truly beyond everyone's expectations.

However, those who knew a little more felt their hearts jolt upon hearing those words. Their pupils contracted and expanded, shock filling their faces.

By speaking like that, did this kid himself—or someone behind him—truly have a Sixth-Rank Alchemist?!

"Uh, this..."

The black-robed auctioneer felt his scalp tingle. It was not particularly rare for a buyer offering a high price to turn around and claim that the seller's goods were insufficient, but neither side was someone he could afford to offend.

For a moment, the black-robed auctioneer had no idea how to respond. Speaking was not an option, but neither was remaining silent.

Fortunately, at that critical moment, the graceful figure swayed her utterly seductive body and stepped into the light. With a smile, she said, "Then what additional stakes would Your Excellency like us to add?"

The woman wore a light cyan qipao with an open waist, perfectly outlining her exquisite curves. The stretch of dazzlingly fair long legs beneath the dress stirred a fiery impulse in people's hearts. Her slender waist, which could be grasped in one hand, was tied with a silver sash, even more alluring than Xiao Yi Xian's.

If Xiao Yi Xian's slender waist was like a green willow branch, then this woman's waist was like a water snake's, enticing the hearts of every male creature to race.

But no one in the hall was a fool. How could they dare harbor covetous thoughts toward someone capable of producing the blood essence of a sixth-tier Monster Beast? The men's looks of wanting to stare but not daring to do so made the woman let out a coquettish laugh.

"Where did this slut come from? Who are you trying to seduce?"

Xiao Yi Xian snorted coldly, her expression dark. As clever as she was, how could she fail to see that this little slut was after her young master? After all, in this tiny Black Rock City, where else could there be a Sixth-Rank Alchemist besides her young master?!
