Mittel Auction House Sign-in, Transformation Pill!

Xiao Chen strolled leisurely through the Market with Xiao Xun'er.

Suddenly!

Ling Er's soft, gentle voice rang out in Xiao Chen's mind.

"Ding, congratulations, Host. A new check-in location has been refreshed!"

"Check-in location: Mittel Auction House!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Brother Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"

Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Chen, who had suddenly stopped beside her, and asked softly.

"Nothing. Let's go—we're heading to the Mittel Auction House!"

With that, Xiao Chen took Xiao Xun'er by the hand and headed for the Mittel Auction House.

I wonder what reward I'll get from this check-in?

The Mittel Auction House was the largest auction venue in Wutan City. It was also affiliated with the Mite'er Family, the wealthiest family in the Jia Ma Empire.

Within the Jia Ma Empire, when it came to wealth, the Mite'er Family was undoubtedly second to none.

The Mite'er Family had a long history and had developed within the Jia Ma Empire for several hundred years. Their connections were incredibly intricate, and according to some rumors, this obscenely wealthy family even seemed to have certain ties to the Jia Ma Empire's imperial family.

Within the empire, the Mite'er Family, the Nalan Family, and the Mu Family were collectively known as the three great powers of the Jia Ma Empire. All three families had their hands in the empire's commerce, military, and other fields, and their influence was immense.

Thus, with the Mite'er Family's powerful backing, no one dared set their sights on the auction house, no matter how coveted its profits were.

Xiao Chen and Xiao Xun'er left the Xiao Family Market. After walking along the streets for more than ten minutes, they arrived before a massive building.

Xiao Chen looked at the enormous structure before him. Above the main entrance of the rectangular building were six flamboyant characters: Mittel Auction House!

Several fully armed guards stood watch at the entrance.

"As expected of Wutan City's largest auction house!"

"Let's go."

Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze after looking it over and sighed inwardly before pulling Xiao Xun'er inside.

The moment Xiao Chen and Xiao Xun'er entered the auction house, Xiao Chen felt the scorching heat from the streets peel away from his body, replaced by a refreshing coolness.

"Ding, you have arrived at the check-in location: Mittel Auction House. Would you like to check in?"

As Xiao Chen entered the Mittel Auction House, Ling Er's soft, gentle voice rang out in his mind again.

"Check in!"

Xiao Chen silently answered without the slightest hesitation.

He had come to the Mittel Auction House for two reasons. First, to check in. Second, to purchase some medicinal ingredients and a Medicine Cauldron. After all, with the Medicine Canon, an encyclopedia-like tome, he intended to learn alchemy.

Alchemy was a profession that consumed vast amounts of resources, and the Mittel Auction House had resources in abundance—it all depended on whether one had the money.

Not long after Xiao Chen finished speaking, Ling Er's voice sounded in his mind once more.

"Checking in."

"Ding, congratulations, Host. Check-in successful. Reward obtained: Transformation Pill!"

Transformation Pill: Allows magical beasts to shed their beastly forms and take human shape, granting them the magical beasts' long lifespan as well as humans' cultivation talent.

Xiao Chen was stunned upon hearing this. A Transformation Pill was something he had no use for at the moment.

"Brother Xiao Chen, what are you planning to buy at the Mittel Auction House?"

Xiao Xun'er turned to look at Xiao Chen with her beautiful eyes and asked gently.

"I'm here to buy some materials and a Medicine Cauldron. I'm planning to learn alchemy."

After a brief silence, Xiao Chen explained.

After all, Xiao Yan had already begun learning alchemy from Yao Lao, and since Xiao Chen had the Medicine Canon, he naturally planned to teach himself.

On the Dou Qi Continent, Alchemists were a special kind of existence. They made money quickly.

Moreover, once Xiao Chen became powerful in the future, he intended to build his own faction. If a faction wanted to develop rapidly, it could not do without the support of medicinal pills.

"Brother Xiao Chen, you know how to refine pills?"

Xiao Xun'er's pair of beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Chen curiously as she asked in confusion.

"Mm, I'm still learning."

"Who's teaching you?"

"Secret."

At this moment, Xiao Xun'er was asking Xiao Chen about alchemy, but naturally, Xiao Chen would not reveal how he knew it. He merely gave her a vague answer.

Of course, Xiao Chen had no idea whether Xiao Xun'er believed what he said.

Xiao Chen held Xiao Xun'er's fair, soft little hand as they walked through the Mittel Auction House. The venue was packed with people, and the clamor never ceased.

"As expected of the Mittel Auction House!" Xiao Chen swept his gaze across the surrounding crowd and sighed.

"I wonder, what would the two of you like to purchase?"

Suddenly, a maid approached Xiao Chen and Xiao Xun'er, bowed, and asked.

"I'd like to buy some medicinal ingredients and a Medicine Cauldron."

Xiao Chen looked at the maid and spoke.

"Please follow me, you two."

Hearing this, the maid gave Xiao Chen a professional smile and led Xiao Chen and Xiao Xun'er toward another area.

A moment later, Xiao Chen and Xiao Xun'er arrived in a room filled with various Medicine Cauldrons.

Xiao Chen's gaze continuously swept over the Medicine Cauldrons placed on the floor.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen's eyes settled on one particular Medicine Cauldron.

The cauldron was entirely pitch-black, with faint glimmers of light on its surface. Two dragon heads were carved at its base, forming two connected fire channels.

At the top of the Medicine Cauldron was a lid shaped from a small coiled black dragon. There was also a special opening in the lid, meant specifically for adding medicinal ingredients.

Fine holes forged from Ice Silver were scattered across the lid. They served to dissipate heat and prevent the cauldron from exploding due to excessive temperatures.

At the center of the Medicine Cauldron was a transparent mirror made from Ice Crystal. Through it, one could clearly observe every movement inside during alchemy.

The surface of the Medicine Cauldron was covered in exquisite Black Dragon Carvings, so lifelike they seemed almost alive.

"How many gold coins is this Medicine Cauldron?"

Xiao Chen pointed at the black Medicine Cauldron and asked.

"Young Master, this Medicine Cauldron only costs ten thousand gold coins."

Hearing this, the maid looked at the black Medicine Cauldron Xiao Chen had pointed to and answered.

"Mm, here is the list of medicinal ingredients I need."

Xiao Chen nodded and took out a sheet of paper from his Storage Ring. It was covered with the names of medicinal ingredients, and he handed it to the maid before him.

"Young Master, you may look around the auction house first. I'll go prepare them right away."

The maid accepted the sheet filled with medicinal ingredients from Xiao Chen and swept her beautiful eyes across it.

She immediately bowed to Xiao Chen once more, then ran out of the room. Presumably, she had gone to fetch the medicinal ingredients.

"Come on, Xun'er. Let's take a look elsewhere."

Xiao Chen watched the maid's departing figure disappear, then turned to Xiao Xun'er and said gently.

"Alright. I wonder what good things are being auctioned at the auction house today?"

Xiao Xun'er lightly nodded and smiled.
