Gift of Fighter Pills

Before long, the leaders of Wutan City's major factions had all arrived.

Ya Fei did not hide anything either, directly stating in the invitations that pills capable of increasing one's strength would be auctioned this time.

Moreover, she had left them ample time to gather funds.

After all, if they wanted to auction them for a high price, they naturally had to notify everyone in advance.

And only by letting them know that pills capable of increasing strength were being auctioned this time would they bring as much money as possible.

Xiao Yang did not continue waiting in Ya Fei's office.

After the people from the major factions arrived, he went directly to find Xiao Zhan.

"Xiao Yang?"

"You came too?"

When Xiao Zhan saw Xiao Yang, he immediately stepped forward to his side.

"Since you're here, let's go in together."

"It just so happens that the Fighter Pill being auctioned this time is useful for you..."

He had mainly come because he had heard about the effects of the Fighter Pill and intended to buy one for Xiao Yang.

The clan elders had not objected either.

Although they usually fought Xiao Zhan for power and profit,

when it came to Xiao Yang, their views were unanimous.

That was to concentrate their resources on Xiao Yang.

After learning that he had an Alchemist Teacher, they had not kept fifty percent of the profits from the pills sold by the Xiao Clan as Xiao Yang had suggested.

Instead, they had used most of the profits to purchase Medicinal Materials for Xiao Yang.

Though these old men liked power, they were not fools.

Just as they had supported directing the clan's resources toward Xiao Yan after he displayed his talent,

now that they had heard Miter Auction House had Fighter Pills, they had immediately sent Xiao Zhan to buy one for Xiao Yang.

However, Xiao Zhan suddenly realized something.

In all of Wutan City, who could provide such pills?

Since Xiao Yang had appeared here, it meant that these pills had most likely come from his Teacher.

"Was this Fighter Pill refined by your Teacher?"

Xiao Zhan asked directly.

Xiao Yang had no intention of concealing it. With a thought, three Jade Bottles appeared in his hand.

"Uncle, the Fighter Pill itself is a First-grade Pill. I refined these myself under my Teacher's guidance."

After saying that, he casually created a task.

[Task: Give the Xiao Clan three Fighter Pills. Reward: ten Peiyuan Grass plants, three portions of Foundation Building Divine Liquid]

"You refined them yourself?"

"You can already refine pills like these?!"

Xiao Zhan's face was filled with shock, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

After all, ordinary first-grade healing pills and Fighter Pills were practically two different concepts.

Although he was not an Alchemist, he knew that refining pills that increased cultivation was countless times more difficult than refining the simplest healing pills.

Xiao Yang nodded and continued.

"The ones being auctioned this time are low-grade and mid-grade pills."

"These of mine are High-grade. After taking one, there is a high chance of increasing cultivation by two stars."

"I'll leave these three to Uncle to arrange."

Xiao Zhan did not take them immediately. Instead, he asked first.

"What about yours?"

Hearing that, Xiao Yang said directly,

"I previously happened to refine one of Perfect Quality. I kept that one for myself."

"As for the High-grade ones, aside from these three, I kept one for Little Yanzi."

"So Uncle can just take these three back and distribute them."

Only then did Xiao Zhan accept the three Fighter Pills.

The instant he took them, the System Prompt Tone sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Task: Give the Xiao Clan three Fighter Pills. Reward: ten Peiyuan Grass plants, three portions of Foundation Building Divine Liquid. Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Zhan's face was filled with emotion.

"Our Xiao Clan is truly blessed to have you!"

"I just wonder when Yan'er will break through to Dou Zhe."

As he spoke, a trace of gloom flashed through his eyes.

Hearing this, Xiao Yang said directly,

"Little Yanzi has recovered his talent. Didn't he tell you?"

A sly glint flashed through his eyes as he spoke.

He remembered that Xiao Yan had been keeping it from Xiao Zhan, planning to give him a surprise.

Xiao Zhan was shocked again, and his eyes were now full of excitement.

"Really?"

"He actually recovered his talent!"

Xiao Yang nodded firmly.

"Uncle can go back and ask him yourself."

"He actually kept it from you. You definitely need to teach him a good lesson."

Xiao Zhan said excitedly,

"Good!"

"Good!"

"I'll go back and teach him a lesson right away!"

There were even faint tears in his eyes.

The two chatted as they walked into the Auction House.

Since these pills had all been refined by Xiao Yang, Xiao Zhan no longer intended to bid on them.

The main reason was that Xiao Yang had said he still had materials and could continue refining them.

Before long, as time passed, Ya Fei auctioned several decent treasures to warm up the crowd, then brought out several specially prepared lots.

Once the atmosphere was completely heated, she had a maid carry six Jade Bottles onto the auction stage.

A bone-meltingly seductive voice rang through the entire hall.

"These are the final lots of this auction—the Fighter Pills!"

"The effects of the Fighter Pills..."

As Ya Fei explained the effects of the Fighter Pills, the Auction House instantly erupted with shocked cries.

These people had gone mad.

There were actually pills that could increase strength being auctioned!

Yet the leaders of the major factions seated in the front rows all appeared calm on the surface.

The invitations had stated this matter very clearly.

They had come precisely for this.

At this moment, their gazes toward one another were filled with hostility.

"The Fighter Pills have been verified by Master Gu Ni of Miter Auction House. Their effects are indeed as stated just now."

"The starting bid for one Fighter Pill is—fifty thousand Gold Coins!"

The cost of a Fighter Pill was roughly seventeen thousand Gold Coins.

Of course, Xiao Yang could ripen Peiyuan Grass himself, so his costs were even lower.

After all, Peiyuan Grass was the biggest expense.

He knew that the final price would definitely far exceed fifty thousand Gold Coins.

Sure enough, the moment Ya Fei finished speaking, bids began ringing out one after another.

"I bid sixty thousand Gold Coins!"

"Old Li, you think sixty thousand can buy a treasure like this? I bid seventy thousand Gold Coins!"

"Ninety thousand!"

"Ninety-five thousand!"

Not long after the bidding began, the price of the Fighter Pills started soaring.

In the blink of an eye, it had already exceeded one hundred thousand.

Although the Three Great Families were Wutan City's largest powers,

there were still quite a few factions beneath them.

There were even factions capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Three Great Families, or even faintly surpassing them.

That was the City Lord's Manor.

However, the City Lord's Manor usually did not interfere in the affairs of the Three Great Families.

As for Miter Auction House, it had always remained neutral.

And this time, people from the City Lord's Manor had come as well.

After all, these were pills capable of increasing cultivation.

For these factions, bringing out over a hundred thousand Gold Coins was not a problem.

"One hundred forty thousand!"

The City Lord's Manor's steward announced a sky-high price the first time he spoke.

As soon as he made his bid, everyone fell silent.

Though the City Lord's Manor rarely made any moves, it was still an official force.

Everyone was willing to give it some face.

The main reason was that there were quite a few Fighter Pills available.
