Heavenly Flame Technique

Xiao Chen listened as the bids rose higher and higher, and he could not help admiring Ya Fei's methods. This showed just how irresistible Ya Fei was to men, as the bidding continued to climb.

One auction item after another—medicinal pills, low-level cultivation methods, and more—sold for considerable prices after Ya Fei explained them in her seductive voice. Meanwhile, time slowly passed.

"Hehe, everyone, next comes the finale of this auction!" Ya Fei waved her jade-like hand, and the lights on the raised platform dimmed. Bending slightly, she retrieved a silver tray from beneath the stage. Resting on it was an ancient, unadorned azure scroll.

The scroll glimmered faintly with azure light, appearing quite mysterious against the silver tray.

"Mysterious Rank Advanced Cultivation Method: Heavenly Fire Technique!"

The moment the words "Mysterious Rank Advanced Cultivation Method" were spoken, the auction hall fell abruptly silent.

Not even the three great families of Wutan City possessed a Mysterious Rank Advanced Cultivation Method. The highest-ranked Dou Technique owned by the Xiao Family was merely the Mysterious Rank Intermediate Furious Lion Vajra.

The medicinal pills auctioned earlier might have been precious, but they could only be used temporarily. A Dou Qi cultivation method, however, could be used for a lifetime and even passed down to one's descendants. From a certain perspective, high-rank Dou Qi cultivation methods drove people even crazier than medicinal pills.

After all, with a high-rank cultivation method, even without the support of spiritual medicines, one could eventually become a powerful expert. But without a cultivation method, no matter how many spiritual medicines one had—even if one ate pills like beans—it would still be difficult to become a true expert.

After a brief period of shock, people in the hall gradually came back to their senses. Pairs of burning eyes fixed fiercely upon the azure scroll on the stage. Even the alluring and captivating Ya Fei seemed to have been forgotten at that moment.

"A Mysterious Rank Advanced Cultivation Method..."

Sitting in a secluded corner, Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he listened to the words leave Ya Fei's sexy red lips.

With the system, Xiao Chen would practically never lack cultivation methods. He currently possessed the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Technique, and the Dragon Phoenix True Scripture. All of these cultivation methods surpassed the Heaven Rank, so naturally, he had no interest in a Mysterious Rank cultivation method.

However, while Xiao Chen did not care for it, most of the people present did not feel the same way. At this moment, the members of Wutan City's three great families all had shining eyes.

"Everyone, this Mysterious Rank cultivation method was obtained by a hunter who happened upon it in the mountains. It should have been left behind by a predecessor. Its origins are legitimate, and it will not bring any trouble. You may bid without concern."

Ya Fei lightly held up the azure scroll with her jade-like hand and smiled sweetly.

"Miss Ya Fei, hurry up and announce the price!" someone below the stage shouted impatiently.

The seductive smile remained on Ya Fei's beautiful face as she said, "The Heavenly Fire Technique has a starting bid of two hundred thousand gold coins!"

The moment that astronomical price was announced, the hall immediately quieted considerably. Clearly, many people simply lacked the means to acquire it.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan and the patriarchs of Wutan City's other two great families, seated in the front row, also had their faces twitch at the sky-high price. Yet there was nothing they could do. One party was willing to sell, and another was willing to buy. If they did not buy it, plenty of others would.

After all, a Mysterious Rank Advanced Cultivation Method was not something that came up for auction whenever one wanted.

With a starting price of two hundred thousand, the atmosphere turned somewhat cold.

Though two hundred thousand was an astronomical price, for many people, a Mysterious Rank Advanced Cultivation Method was an opportunity that could only be encountered by chance. Besides, in a place like Wutan City, a Mysterious Rank Advanced Cultivation Method was already the absolute pinnacle.

"Two hundred and ten thousand!"

"Two hundred and thirty thousand!"

"Two hundred and forty thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!" As the bids continued, Jia Lie Bi in the first row finally spoke coldly.

"Three hundred and thirty thousand!" In Wutan City, only the Xiao Family and the Oba Family could compete with the Gale Family. The one bidding now was Oba Pa, patriarch of the Oba Family.

Glancing at Oba Pa, Jia Lie Bi said coldly, "Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

The corner of Oba Pa's eye twitched as he grinned. "Three hundred and seventy thousand!"

"Three hundred and eighty thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

Faced with Oba Pa's repeated price increases, Jia Lie Bi followed without hesitation, looking determined to obtain it at all costs.

When the price reached four hundred and thirty thousand, Oba Pa had no choice but to withdraw from the competition. Four hundred and thirty thousand was enough to plunge the Oba Family into a financial crisis.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand!" Jia Lie Bi had not yet had time to rejoice at Oba Pa's retreat when Xiao Zhan's calm voice made his expression darken once more.

Jia Lie Bi shot Xiao Zhan a vicious glare, his heart filled with rage. Among the three great families, both the Xiao Family and the Oba Family possessed Mysterious Rank Intermediate Dou Qi cultivation methods. Only the Gale Family had merely a Mysterious Rank Low-Level cultivation method. Thus, Jia Lie Bi truly intended to go all out this time.

Under Oba Pa's gleeful gaze, Jia Lie Bi gritted his teeth and said, "Four hundred and sixty thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand!" With an indifferent expression, Xiao Zhan named a sky-high price that threw the entire hall into an uproar.

On the raised platform, Ya Fei's beautiful smile became even more enticing as she watched the two compete so fiercely.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand!" His eyes slightly bloodshot, Jia Lie Bi remained silent for a moment before shouting coldly, making one final desperate bid.

"You win." To everyone's surprise, after hearing Jia Lie Bi's bid, Xiao Zhan merely smiled and looked at him teasingly. Jia Lie Bi's face froze in astonishment. A moment later, his expression darkened. Once he regained his senses, he finally realized that he had been played...

"Xiao Zhan, you're ruthless! Just you remember this!" Jia Lie Bi glared resentfully at Xiao Zhan, then raised his head to look at the somewhat stunned Ya Fei. His anger surged even higher, but he was no street thug. With a gloomy face, he suppressed his rage as best he could. "Miss Ya Fei, it is time to declare the auction over, isn't it?"

"The Heavenly Fire Technique has been successfully purchased by Patriarch Jia Lie Bi!" Seeing this, Ya Fei smiled faintly. Under Jia Lie Bi's intense gaze, the small hammer in her jade-like hand came down.

Watching the auction conclude, Xiao Chen slowly rose to his feet and left the auction hall.

After leaving the auction hall, Xiao Chen entered a room and sat quietly in a chair, waiting.

After a while, hurried footsteps sounded outside. A graceful figure entered through the door, followed by an elderly man. The owner of that graceful figure was none other than Ya Fei.

"Little Brother Xiao Chen."

Ya Fei walked up to Xiao Chen, bringing with her a fragrant breeze. Her soft, sweet laughter and seductive voice were like a little hand scratching at Xiao Chen's heart.

Xiao Chen looked at Ya Fei's alluring body before him and inhaled the enticing fragrance wafting from her. Seeing her mature, seductive face, his throat bobbed slightly.

"Big Sister Ya Fei, you look so happy. I suppose today's auction brought in quite a profit?"

After all, auction houses were extremely profitable places.

Xiao Chen's dark eyes looked toward Ya Fei. He could see delight on her seductive smiling face; clearly, Ya Fei was very satisfied with the outcome of today's auction.
