Ya Fei

"Hm? Nalan Yanran? Entangled with me? What the hell?" See? I told you this girl definitely had improper thoughts about me!

It had already been an entire afternoon, yet there were still no customers in the shop. Lin Yu was preparing to close up when a figure appeared at the entrance.

"Ya Fei?" The moment Lin Yu saw her, that name came to mind. Though he had never met Ya Fei before, looking at those full, exquisite, captivating curves and the seductive charm in every smile and frown, there was no doubt that only Ya Fei in Wutan City could be like this!

"Young Master!" Ya Fei grew a little angry when she saw Lin Yu staring at her without blinking!

Hmph, looks like he's no good either. He must be lusting after my body!

Still, she gave Lin Yu a high score of five points! After all, the young man did have the looks of a pretty boy, didn't he?

"Hehe..." Lin Yu was a little embarrassed. It really was inappropriate to stare at someone for so long.

"What brings Miss Ya Fei to my little shop?"

"Your little shop really is strange. It looks shabby from the outside, yet it's so magnificent inside!" Ya Fei said as she looked around. Although her expression remained calm, her heart was already in turmoil. Looking at the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, she was almost having trouble breathing!

Seeing Ya Fei browsing, Lin Yu did not go over to disturb her and simply watched her quietly.

Ya Fei was astonished. Why were the pills here so cheap? First Grade pills like Rejuvenation Powder, Blood Coagulation Powder, and Injury Recovery Pill were sold here for only 10 Gold Coins! Especially this Second Grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, whose description read: usable by those below Dou Zhe, capable of increasing cultivation speed! How precious was that?

Dou Qi could only be cultivated steadily and conventionally; this had practically become common knowledge to everyone. Moreover, the meridians of cultivators at this stage were extremely fragile. Once the medicinal potency was too strong, the result would be broken meridians and death...

Yet this spirit medicine was only 100 Gold Coins? If it were taken to auction, its price could increase by at least a hundredfold! (In the original work, Xiao Zhan bought Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for 40,000 Gold Coins!)

Third Grade and Fourth Grade pills were all 1,000 Gold Coins.

Fifth Grade pills were 10,000 Gold Coins.

Sixth Grade, Seventh Grade, and Eighth Grade pills were all 100,000 Gold Coins.

There were even Ninth Grade Golden Pills, and they only cost 10,000,000 wan Gold Coins. In the entire Dou Qi Continent at present, Ninth Grade alchemists could be counted on one hand!

In contrast, the cultivation methods and weapons on the shelves behind them were all exorbitantly priced! Anything above high Profound Tier had only one note beneath it: exchange of equal value! The sky-high-priced cultivation methods were special items!

Lin Yu had asked Xing Luo why, and Xing Luo's explanation was that cultivation methods contained more World Power! As for why, Xing Luo did not say much.

"No wonder all auction items that are pills are so difficult to sell now, often failing to sell at all. So this is the reason!"

Although Ya Fei was shocked, she remained rational. She still could not confirm whether these items were genuine.

I'll buy some and take them back for Uncle Gu Ni to inspect!

"Ya Fei has never seen you in Wutan City, Young Master. You must be from elsewhere, right? May I ask your honored name?"

"Ah! My name is Lin Yu! I'm from the Xiao family of Wutan City!" It was no wonder Ya Fei had never seen Lin Yu. Aside from going out shopping as a child, Lin Yu had basically never needed to walk between the shop and the Xiao family afterward! Thus, Lin Yu was rarely seen on the streets!

Ya Fei covered her mouth with her small hand. "You're the Dou Zong from the Xiao family?" After he revealed his strength in Xiao Family Hall, all of Wutan City now knew that the Xiao family had a Dou Zong watching over it, but no one had ever seen what he looked like!

Ya Fei had heard that this Dou Zong of the Xiao family was very young. She had thought he had to be at least twenty or thirty, but she never expected him to be this young. Lin Yu looked to be only fifteen or sixteen! How could he be so young?

"No, no, no, I'm a Dou Zun now! Hehe, isn't that impressive? Did I scare you?"

"Dou... Dou Zun? Young Master, you must be joking." Ya Fei was so shocked that she could barely speak! A Dou Zun in Wutan City? There probably was not even a Dou Zun in the entire Jama Empire, right?

"Why would I lie to you? What did you come here for? Don't tell me it was just to admire my handsome face?" Lin Yu leaned over the counter, propping his chin up with one hand as he grinned at Ya Fei.

With Lin Yu staring at her like that, Ya Fei felt a little uncomfortable. "Young Master, please stop joking. I heard from others that your little shop is very magical and that you can buy anything here, so I came to take a look and buy a few things while I was at it."

"Oh? Then what would Miss Ya Fei like to buy?" Lin Yu continued staring at Ya Fei without blinking, a faint smile on his lips.

Ya Fei felt extremely uncomfortable under Lin Yu's gaze. If it had been anyone else, she would have slapped him already. But the person before her was a Dou Zun. Though she still had doubts, she could already confirm that he was at least a Dou Zong—someone she could not afford to offend!

She hastened her speech. "I want Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid and Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills!"

Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill: a peak Fourth Grade pill. Like the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill, it was a pill that could directly increase one's strength. However, its effects could only be applied to Da Dou Shi. If someone at this level consumed a Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, they could increase their strength by one star. More importantly, a person could take two of these pills consecutively at the same level without developing too much resistance.

Lin Yu withdrew his gaze and lightly waved his hand. Two bottles appeared on the table out of thin air.

"1,010 Gold Coins in total!"

Ya Fei walked to the counter, placed down a bag of Gold Coins, picked up the bottles, and turned to leave!

That close contact had allowed Lin Yu to fully appreciate this woman's mature charm. On her lovely face, graced with a clever smile, were a pair of long, narrow, watery eyes that seemed to exude attraction toward men at every moment. His gaze slid inconspicuously past her elegant, slender, jade-like neck, only to nearly be drawn into the deep, pale cleavage below. Her willow-thin waist swayed like a water snake, naturally alluring with every movement, making one desperately want to press her to the ground and ravish her. Lin Yu muttered softly, "Enchantress!"

"Welcome again!"

Hearing Lin Yu's voice, Ya Fei could not help quickening her pace. Being stared at by someone like that made her feel as though she were not wearing any clothes!

Congratulations, Brother! You have sold Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid and gained 1 point! You have sold a Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill and gained 100 points! Total Points: 13,700!

Mite'er Auction House

After Ya Fei returned to the Mite'er Auction House, she headed straight for Gu Ni's residence.

"Uncle Gu Ni! Help me see whether these two items are real!" As she spoke, Ya Fei took out the pills she had bought from Lin Yu's shop and handed them to the old man.

The old man had a rosy complexion. Though his green robe looked ordinary, a faint glow flowed over it, indicating that the garment had likely been enhanced with some kind of Magic Crystal protection. His ordinary old face carried an unmistakable trace of pride—something every alchemist possessed.

Taking the bottle containing the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, he gently sniffed it. Tilting the mouth of the bottle slightly, a drop of green liquid rolled out. He stared intently at the green liquid, and Gu Ni's expression changed from calm to solemn. He said to Ya Fei, "There is no doubt that this spirit liquid has reached the level of a Second Grade pill. What is its effect?"

Ya Fei explained to Gu Ni, "It is called Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. It can increase the cultivation speed of Dou Qi, but it is only effective for those below Dou Zhe."

"Oh? It can increase the cultivation speed of Dou Qi?" Hearing this, Gu Ni was somewhat moved.

Feeling the energy within the liquid once more, he muttered, "The medicinal properties are extremely mild... a spiritual medicine! A spiritual medicine! Ya Fei, you must introduce me to that master!" Gu Ni cried excitedly.

"Uh... alright, Uncle Gu Ni. There's another one here. Uncle Gu Ni, take a look and see if this one is real too!" As she spoke, Ya Fei handed the other bottle of pills to Gu Ni.

Gu Ni accepted it and tilted the mouth of the bottle slightly. A pill rolled out from within.

"This..." Gu Ni's hands trembled uncontrollably. His face flushed red, and even his voice shook with excitement.

If a Da Dou Shi consumed a Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, it could directly raise their strength by one star. Gu Ni himself was a Da Dou Shi. Never mind that it was a fourth-grade pill—being able to increase his strength alone was enough to excite him!

"A Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill! Its quality is superb! Did you also buy this from that esteemed master?" Gu Ni looked at Ya Fei excitedly.

"Yes, Uncle Gu Ni. It only cost 1,000 Gold Coins. Is this one real too?" Seeing Gu Ni's reaction, Ya Fei already knew the pills were genuine, yet she still could not believe it and asked anyway.

"1,000 Gold Coins? Ya Fei, you didn't agree to anything of his, did you? Did he make any excessive demands?" Gu Ni asked with a worried expression.

Gu Ni did not believe that a fourth-grade pill could be bought for just 1,000 Gold Coins. Ya Fei must have agreed to some demand from that man—or perhaps sold her body.

"Uh... Uncle Gu Ni, it really only cost 1,000 Gold Coins. Actually, he's the Dou Zun from the Xiao Family. I didn't agree to anything. I came back immediately after buying them. And he even has ninth-grade pills there! They only cost 10,000,000 Gold Coins!" She knew Gu Ni had misunderstood, thinking she had traded her body for them, so she explained helplessly.

"What! Ninth-grade pills? A Dou Zun? Wasn't he a Dou Zong?" Although Dou Zuns were powerful, they were not unheard of. What Gu Ni found unbelievable was that a tiny place like Wutan City could have a ninth-grade alchemist! There were fewer than five ninth-grade alchemists in the entire Dou Qi Continent! Yet Ya Fei would not lie to him.

"He said himself that he was a Dou Zun."

"If it's really as you say, then it's indeed possible. Come, take me to meet him!"

Afterward, Ya Fei brought Gu Ni to Lin Yu General Store, but the shop was already closed.

"Uncle Gu Ni, it's getting late. He has probably already gone back. Why don't we come again tomorrow?"

"Sigh! That's all we can do!" Gu Ni shook his head regretfully.

Who would not want to meet such an extraordinary person at the first possible moment?

If Lin Yu could cooperate with the Mite'er Auction House, the potential gains were unimaginable!

As long as Lin Yu did not sell his pills to anyone else and supplied them exclusively to the Mite'er Auction House at low prices, then the Mite'er Auction House could hold auctions for them. The profits would increase by at least a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or even ten thousandfold!
