Auction

Ya Fei immediately made arrangements for Lin Feng. Grandmaster Gu Ni had just gained some insight; after coming out to settle a few matters, he immediately went into seclusion. He felt that this time, he could break through the bottleneck that had hindered him for years and advance further.

"Ya Fei, I'll leave young friend Lin Feng to you. Whatever he needs, do your utmost to provide it."

Ya Fei nodded. Now that she knew Lin Feng was a Tier 3 Alchemist, she understood how esteemed he was to an auction house. Not to mention that Lin Feng was a monstrous genius of his caliber—they needed to make every effort to build a good relationship with him.

After refining pills, Lin Feng did not rush to leave. He called Ya Fei over and had her prepare several more sets of ingredients for refining higher-grade pills.

Dressed in red and holding a delicate folding fan, Ya Fei's beautiful eyes shimmered as her graceful body leaned close to Lin Feng's side. A faint, subtle feminine fragrance drifted into his nose. As a vigorous young man, Lin Feng could not help feeling a little stirred.

He put some distance between them and said, "I'll have to trouble you these next few days, Sister Ya Fei."

Ya Fei chuckled softly. "It's nothing. Little Brother Lin Feng, there's no need to be so polite. I'll fetch the herbs for you right away."

Over the next few days, Lin Feng did not return to the Xiao Family, instead staying at the auction house to refine pills. He wanted to find his limits, and also improve his alchemy.

At the Xiao Family, Xiao Yan rose from the medicinal bath. Feeling the strength in his body, he asked, "Teacher, at this rate, I believe it won't be long before I reach the Dou Zhe level."

He would finally cast off the insults and ridicule he had endured all these years, along with reclaiming his own dignity and his father's. Sooner or later, he would take them back!

"Heh, kid, if you want to break through to Dou Zhe, then focus on your cultivation. Don't think about all that useless nonsense."

Yao Lao's voice came through. Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and smiled before getting dressed and heading outside.

As he passed Lin Feng's courtyard and saw its tightly shut gates, Xiao Yan muttered to himself, "Feng Ge still isn't back."

Xiao Yan was not surprised that he had not seen Feng Ge these past few days. Over the years, Feng Ge would often disappear for a while before returning. Whenever Xiao Yan asked, Feng Ge would say he had gone off to cultivate, so Xiao Yan was not too worried.

"Kid, your Feng Ge is no simple man. He has plenty of secrets. And that little girl is no simple person either. If you don't work hard at cultivating, sooner or later they'll leave you far behind."

Naturally, Xiao Yan knew who Yao Lao meant by "that little girl." He understood it himself, and Feng Ge had also told him that Xun Er's background was far from ordinary. But he did not think much of it. Feng Ge and Xun Er were both his most important friends and family.

At the Mittel Auction House, Lin Feng had finally finished refining pills and emerged from his room. He looked somewhat tired, but he was in an excellent mood. During this period of refining pills here, not only had he been supplied with free medicinal ingredients, his alchemy had also improved. More importantly, he had learned where his limit lay: the peak of Tier 3!

This was the highest-grade pill he had refined over the past two days, and it was also the limit of his abilities.

Still, he found it somewhat regrettable that he did not possess any Heavenly Flames. Otherwise, he felt he could refine pills of an even higher grade. Tier 4—or perhaps even mid-tier Tier 4—was not impossible.

"Should I go look for Heavenly Flames too?"

"Or perhaps I should head to the Monster Mountain Range. After all, the system said last time that the next check-in location was there, and the reward is Chaos Flame."

Lin Feng sighed inwardly. Perhaps it really was time for him to set out.

"Once I finish up the matters here, I'll leave."

Grandmaster Gu Ni had been waiting outside for quite some time. Upon seeing Lin Feng emerge, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. "Thank you for your guidance, young friend Lin Feng. This old man was able to make a breakthrough because of you."

Lin Feng hurriedly helped Gu Ni up. "There is no need for such ceremony, Grandmaster Gu Ni."

Ya Fei approached, her graceful body swaying as she said in a sultry voice, "Little Brother Lin Feng, the auction is about to begin. Would you like to go take a look together?"

Lin Feng nodded. Of the pills he had refined during this period, aside from the two he kept for himself because they were useful to him, he had handed all the rest to the Mittel Auction House for auction. After all, he could not use their medicinal ingredients for free.

"Sure."

Grandmaster Gu Ni personally led Lin Feng to a Private Room upstairs. As for Ya Fei, being the Mittel Auction House's chief auctioneer, she naturally had to go down to the main hall. After all, most of the people had come for this peerless beauty.

"Everyone, welcome to this auction. I believe you will all be very interested in the items being offered today. Besides several high-grade cultivation techniques, we also have Third Grade Pills refined by one of our auction house's distinguished friends!"

Dressed in red, Ya Fei's sultry voice stirred up the atmosphere the moment she spoke. Many men stared fixedly at the stunning beauty in the hall, their gazes utterly captivated.

Lin Feng glanced over and spotted Xiao Zhan and several Clan Leaders from other families seated in the front row.

The moment the crowd heard that there were Third Grade Pills, they were all shocked. In Wu Tan City, Grandmaster Gu Ni of the Mittel Auction House was probably already the highest-ranked alchemist, yet he was only Tier 2. Who would have expected Third Grade Pills to appear this time? This meant there was another esteemed Tier 3 Alchemist. What drove them even crazier was that pills refined by such a Tier 3 Alchemist were enough to tempt even Da Dou Shi like Xiao Zhan and the others.

In a secluded corner of the hall, someone wearing a black cloak muttered, "A Tier 3 Alchemist? Since when did such a formidable figure come to Wu Tan City?"

"Brat, why are you so surprised over a mere Tier 3? Back then, a Tier 3 Alchemist wouldn't even have been worthy of carrying my shoes."

This person was naturally Xiao Yan, disguised and here to auction off the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

Lin Feng also spotted Xiao Yan in the corner. Everyone else was dressed normally, while he alone wore a cloak that concealed his entire body, acting all mysterious. It would have been difficult for him not to draw attention.

"Looks like Yao Lao has already set his cultivation on the right track."

Ya Fei began hosting the auction. The first item she brought out was the Third Grade Pill Lin Feng had initially refined—the Spirit Recovery Pill.

"Everyone, this is a Third Grade Pill: the Spirit Recovery Pill. This pill can restore anyone who has suffered severe injuries to perfect health, without leaving behind any aftereffects. It is equally effective for Da Dou Shi. The starting bid is fifty thousand Gold Coins!"

The instant Ya Fei spoke, the entire hall erupted into commotion. Everyone stared fervently at the jade bottle in her hand, from which a medicinal fragrance wafted out and left them feeling refreshed.

Xiao Zhan glanced at the Clan Leader of the Gale Family beside him and saw that the man had immediately placed a bid. After hesitating for a moment, he followed suit.

"Fifty-five thousand Gold Coins!"

"Sixty thousand!"

"Seventy thousand!"

As the great families in the hall began bidding against each other, Ya Fei saw that even Xiao Zhan had joined in. With a smile, she glanced at the Private Room upstairs where Lin Feng was seated. This fellow would not even spare his own family's money.
