Going Home

A Third Grade Pill was being bid on by the major families, while everyone else could only watch. In Wu Tan City, there were truly few forces capable of competing with the Xiao Family, the Gale Family, and the like. Although the Xiao Family had faintly begun to show signs of becoming Wu Tan City's number one family because of Lin Feng, the other families had begun banding together for mutual support, joining forces against the Xiao Family.

"One hundred thousand!"

In the hall, Gale Bi shouted loudly, then looked confidently at Xiao Zhan and the heads of the other families. He was determined to obtain this Third Grade Spirit Recovery Pill.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan hesitated. Although a Third Grade Pill was extremely precious, spending one hundred thousand on it was more than the Xiao Family could comfortably afford.

"Hehe, Xiao Clan Leader, aren't you going to continue bidding?"

Gale Bi smiled at Xiao Zhan. Seeing the hesitation on his face, he sneered inwardly. With strength like that, he wants to fight me? It seems the Xiao Family has declined quite a bit over the years.

Just as Gale Bi thought he was about to succeed, Ouba Pa beside him called out, "One hundred and ten thousand!"

Gale Bi's expression changed, while Xiao Zhan looked at him with a smile. "Looks like you're under quite a bit of pressure."

When Ya Fei saw that someone had continued bidding and that the price was rising ever higher, the smile on her exquisite face grew even more radiant.

Lin Feng listened to the steadily climbing price from the Private Room upstairs and nodded inwardly. The higher it went, the more he earned. Fortunately, Uncle Xiao had not continued bidding, or he would have felt rather embarrassed.

Xiao Yan, who was in the auction hall, was inwardly shocked. A single Third Grade Pill was actually about to break two hundred thousand. It was truly terrifying.

He wondered how much his Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid would fetch in the end.

"Two hundred and thirty thousand!"

Gale Bi gritted his teeth and forced the words out through clenched teeth.

Ya Fei looked around and, seeing no one raise the price further, immediately announced, "Congratulations, Clan Leader Gale Bi, on obtaining the Third Grade Pill, the Spirit Recovery Pill."

Xiao Zhan and Ouba Pa beside him looked at him with smiles. Gale Bi snorted coldly, took the jade bottle, and carefully brought it to his nose for a sniff. Only after confirming that it was genuine did he put it away.

The next item up for auction was Xiao Yan's Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. Lin Feng's remaining pills had all been saved for the finale.

The moment he heard what it was, Xiao Zhan's eyes gleamed, and he was determined to obtain it. This item was extremely important to Xiao Yan, and he had to get it.

When Lin Feng saw the auction hall erupt into another frenzy of bidding over the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, especially when he saw Xiao Zhan joining in, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. Your own son made this thing to fleece people, so why are you joining in?

Still, he could understand Xiao Zhan's actions. What father did not want the best for his son?

According to the plot of the original work, Xiao Zhan would ultimately be the one to obtain it.

In the following auction, aside from a High-Level Mysterious Rank Cultivation Method that was fiercely fought over at a high price, there were also the remaining three pills of different effects that Lin Feng had refined.

Even he had not expected the four pills in this auction to sell for more than a million. While secretly delighted, he was also somewhat astonished. It seemed there were quite a few wealthy families in Wu Tan City after all.

When the auction ended, Ya Fei approached with a smiling black-robed figure. The moment Lin Feng saw him, he smiled to himself.

"Little Brother Lin Feng, this is the owner of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. Sir, this is the owner of the Third Grade Pill this time, Lin Feng."

Lin Feng rose to his feet and extended his hand with a smile. "Hello."

Xiao Yan had yet to recover from the shock of seeing Feng Ge and learning that he was a Tier 3 Alchemist. It was only after Yao Lao reminded him that he noticed Lin Feng's outstretched hand.

"Hello."

The voice was aged, clearly Yao Lao's voice.

Lin Feng knew what was going on, but he did not expose him.

Ya Fei handed Lin Feng a Purple Card, her voice soft and alluring. "Little Brother Lin Feng, this is the money from this auction. I've already deducted the auction house's share. The rest is yours, one million in total."

Lin Feng accepted the Purple Card from Ya Fei's jade-like hand, only to suddenly feel an itch in his palm. He looked at Ya Fei in slight surprise and found the woman smiling at him, without the slightest hint of embarrassment.

Xiao Yan noticed the small detail and sighed inwardly. It seems Feng Ge and Ya Fei have quite an intimate relationship. No wonder Feng Ge often disappears. So this is where he goes.

Through the cloak, Xiao Yan saw Ya Fei in her red dress. It had to be said that, as one of Wu Tan City's renowned beauties, Ya Fei's figure and appearance were both exceptional. In particular, her mature, seductive charm was something few could compare to. He thought to himself, As expected, only Feng Ge can handle a woman like this.

After staying for a while, Xiao Yan collected his things and prepared to take his leave. Lin Feng was also about to get up and return home when Ya Fei's red lips parted, her tone filled with resentment. "Little Brother Lin Feng, you're leaving so soon? Now that you've used me, you're pretending not to know me?"

The moment Xiao Yan heard that, he knew this was not somewhere he should remain. He could only sigh inwardly. Feng Ge is impressive. He hastened his steps and left.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, felt rather helpless. Those words were far too suggestive. Judging by Xiao Yan's hurried reaction, he had probably misunderstood something already.

"Sister Ya Fei, thank you for this time. I'll come visit again when I have time. Of course, you can also come find me at the Xiao Family anytime if you get the chance."

Ya Fei covered her red lips with her jade-like hand and laughed. "All right, Big Sister was only teasing you. Remember to come by when you have time."

Lin Feng inwardly sighed, What a sin, what a sin. This enchantress really is deadly. After chatting with her so much over the past few days, they had grown much more familiar with each other. This woman was becoming increasingly bold. Ah, this enchantress... He could only quicken his pace and leave.

Having just stepped out of the auction house, Lin Feng looked around but did not see Xiao Yan anywhere. That kid was quite cautious.

Shaking his head, he returned to his small courtyard, tidied up a little, changed into another set of clothes, and got some proper rest.

Xiao Yan was probably soaking in a Medicinal Bath right now. That guy really had it good. Having a teacher was wonderful—there was no need to worry about anything yourself.

Just after he finished tidying up, a voice rang out from outside Lin Feng's courtyard. "Feng Ge."

Lin Feng went outside and saw Xun Er standing there gracefully. "Xun Er, what is it?"

Blinking her eyes, Xun Er said, "Feng Ge, do you know what's been going on with Brother Xiao Yan lately? He feels strange, all mysterious every day."

Lin Feng smiled. "If even you don't know, what could I know? But don't worry, it probably isn't anything serious. He has his own fortunate opportunity. Rest assured."

Xun Er nodded, then pouted. "He hasn't kept Xun Er company for several days."

"I'll definitely give him a proper talking-to. How could he neglect our little sister Xun Er?"

Xun Er blinked, a smile appearing on her face as she leaned closer to Lin Feng. "Feng Ge, tell Xun Er honestly—are you an alchemist?"

Lin Feng looked into Xun Er's eyes and nodded without hiding anything. "How did Xun Er know?"

"Hehe, Feng Ge, you smell strongly of medicine."

Lin Feng sniffed himself. He had only changed clothes and had not had time to bathe. Xun Er said then, "Looks like Feng Ge has been keeping quite a lot from us."

Lin Feng smiled at Xun Er. "Isn't Xun Er the same?"

"Hehe."

Xun Er merely smiled without saying anything. With her hands behind her back, she skipped out of the courtyard, then turned around and said, "Xun Er bears no ill will toward Feng Ge or Brother Xiao Yan."

"Neither do I."
