The scroll glowed faintly red, appearing rather mysterious against the silver tray.

"Mystic High-Rank Skill: Fire Cloud Art!"

The moment the words "Mystic High-Rank Skill" were spoken, the auction hall abruptly fell silent.

Not even Utan City's three great families possessed a combat skill of such a high rank.

After the initial shock, people gradually came back to their senses. Pairs of blazing eyes stared fixedly at the azure scroll on the stage. Even the seductive and captivating Ya Fei seemed to have been forgotten at this moment.

"Mystic High-Rank Skill!" Xiao Xie shook his head disdainfully. With the Flame Mantra, he had no interest in such a low-level skill.

"This skill comes from a legitimate source, so everyone may bid without concern." Ya Fei picked up the scroll with her jade-like hand and smiled lightly.

"Miss Ya Fei, hurry up and announce the price!" Someone clearly could no longer hold back.

Ya Fei smiled at his words. "Fire Cloud Art, starting bid: two hundred thousand Gold Coins!"

As soon as that astronomical price was announced, the auction hall quieted considerably. Clearly, many people simply lacked the means to afford it.

Although two hundred thousand was an exorbitant sum, for many people, a Mystic High-Rank Skill was something that could only be encountered by chance.

"Two hundred and ten thousand!"

"Two hundred and thirty thousand!"

"Two hundred and forty thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!" Amid the crowd's bids, Jia Liebi in the front row finally spoke coldly.

"Three hundred and thirty thousand!" In Utan City, the only families capable of competing with the Jia Lie Family were the Xiao Clan and the Ao Ba Family. The one bidding now was Ao Ba Pa, the Clan Leader of the Ao Ba Family.

Jia Liebi glanced at Ao Ba Pa and said coldly, "Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

Ao Ba Pa's eye twitched. He snorted and shouted, "Three hundred and seventy thousand!"

"Five hundred and fifty thousand! I won't go any higher!"

After a fierce bidding war, Jia Liebi called out an astronomical price. Ao Ba Pa snorted coldly and did not bid again. Any amount above five hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins would already affect the family's normal operations.

"Fire Cloud Art has been successfully purchased by Clan Leader Jia Liebi!" Seeing this, Ya Fei smiled faintly and brought down the little hammer in her hand.

Watching the auction come to an end, Xiao Xie could not help but chuckle. He slowly rose to his feet and left the auction hall, with Arno quietly following behind him.

After leaving Auction Hall Number One, Xiao Xie returned to the Treasure Appraisal Room. After a while, a hurried set of footsteps sounded from outside, and two figures pushed the door open and entered.

"Hehe, would this gentleman be the owner of the Dou Zhe Pill? This must be your first time in Utan City, sir?" Ya Fei laughed sweetly, her alluring voice like a little hand scratching at one's heart.

Looking at Ya Fei's enticing figure from such close range, Xiao Xie once again experienced this woman's mature charm. After calming his somewhat restless emotions, he said in a hoarse voice, "Was the auction successful? Give me the money. I have matters to attend to!"

Ya Fei smiled. "Please wait a little longer, sir. Some procedures are still being handled."

Xiao Xie nodded, then quietly closed his eyes and said nothing more.
