Low-level Earth Tier Cultivation Method!

After acquiring Dou Qi and becoming a Da Dou Shi, the most obvious change Chen Yang felt was his improved stamina.

Previously, even when riding with his senior sister, he could only last ten or twenty minutes at most. But with Ya Fei, it had continued for over an hour, and they had even done morning exercises early the Next Day!

"Thank you, Younger Brother Chen Yang!"

Ya Fei looked at Chen Yang, feeling the Dou Qi Cyclone in her dantian, and thanked him again.

Without Chen Yang, she probably would not have become a Dou Zhe for another year or two, and that was only if she had sufficient resources. In the original plot, Ya Fei had likely relied on Xiao Yan's Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid to break through to Dou Zhe.

"All right, Sister Ya Fei. Why thank me when we have this kind of relationship?" Chen Yang said softly, reaching out to stroke Ya Fei's hair.

Ya Fei bit her red lips with her pearly teeth. Chen Yang's caress was almost more than she could bear.

Another hour later, Chen Yang looked at the sleeping Ya Fei, got up, and left the Small Courtyard.

Ya Fei was merely a rookie who had just entered the Dou Zhe realm, not even a One-Star Fighter. Being able to ride for so long was already quite impressive!

As for him, he was brimming with energy.

"Teacher!"

Not long after leaving, Chen Yang wandered around the Auction House and ran into Guni, who came forward to pay his respects.

"Mm!"

Chen Yang nodded at him. A few days ago, Guni had taken the time to visit Telan City Next Door and obtain his Third-grade Alchemist qualification. He was now wearing the robes of a Third-grade Alchemist.

"Teacher, while Ya Fei was in Closed-door Cultivation these past few days, nothing major happened at the Auction House!"

"Only this morning, a mercenary brought us a Mysterious Tier High-Grade Cultivation Method, the Wind Scroll Art, and asked our Mittel Auction House to auction it on his behalf!"

Guni spoke softly.

Chen Yang nodded upon hearing that.

As he remembered, the Wind Scroll Art had been auctioned when Xiao Yan broke through to the fifth stage of Dou Qi and came to sell Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid, roughly Two Months after the Engagement Break.

But Chen Yang had not expected the Wind Scroll Art to arrive at the Mittel Auction House so early.

Then again, it made sense. For a Mysterious Tier High-Grade Cultivation Method to appear in a small city like Wutan City, only the Three Great Families were qualified to acquire it.

And not all three of those families had that much liquid capital.

It was only natural for Mittel to release the news a month in advance and let them raise funds beforehand.

"There's no need to auction it on behalf of the seller. We'll take this Wind Scroll Art directly. Deliver it to Xiao Zhan personally and ask for 400,000 Gold Coins!"

In the original plot, the Wind Scroll Art had sold for 550,000 Gold Coins and ultimately fallen into the hands of the Jia Lie Family. The one who cultivated it was that Dandy, Jia Lie Ao, and he was utter trash.

A hundred thousand or so Gold Coins meant nothing to Chen Yang. Besides, the Qi Gathering Powder he had recently refined for Mittel had already squeezed nearly all the Gold Coins out of the Three Great Families.

Given the Three Great Families' current financial resources, they might not even be able to gather 500,000 Gold Coins in Two Months, much less one month.

Furthermore, Xiao Zhan's collection of Medicinal Materials was nearly complete. If Chen Yang waited until Xiao Zhan advanced to a Nine-star Great Dou Shi before obtaining a Low-level Earth Tier Cultivation Method, the rise and fall would affect his combat strength after becoming a Dou Ling.

Chen Yang still intended to make this deal.

"This disciple understands!"

"However... how many Gold Coins would be appropriate for that mercenary?"

Guni asked again.

"How old is that mercenary, and what is his strength?"

"And what about his character?"

Chen Yang turned and asked.

"Forty years old, a One-Star Fighter, and his character is decent enough. He has a son and a daughter. His wife died early. His daughter apparently went to Jia Nan Academy two years ago, while his son is rather ordinary. At eighteen, he is only at the sixth stage of Dou Qi!"

By the time Guni received the Cultivation Method, he had already sent people to investigate the mercenary's identity.

A Mysterious Tier High-Grade Cultivation Method was no trivial matter. If it had been stolen from a sect or Clan, Mittel would bear tremendous responsibility for selling it.

"Then ask whether he is willing to join the Mittel Auction House. If he is, give him a Mysterious Tier Low-grade Cultivation Method, and promise him one Fourth-grade pill and 100,000 Gold Coins!"

The value of those items added up to nearly 400,000 Gold Coins. Moreover, even if the mercenary had money, he might not be able to obtain a Mysterious Tier Low-grade Cultivation Method or a Fourth-grade pill.

"I understand!"

"I'll make the arrangements right away!"

Guni nodded.

"Oh, and while you're at it, ask Xiao Zhan whether he has gathered all the Medicinal Materials Xiao Yan asked him to collect."

Chen Yang added.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Half an Hour later, at the Xiao Family.

Upon learning that Guni had arrived, Xiao Zhan hurriedly went out to greet him. When he saw the Third-grade Alchemist Badge on Guni's chest, he immediately exclaimed with a smile, "Congratulations, Master Guni, on advancing to Third-grade Alchemist!"

Guni laughed heartily upon hearing that. "Haha, it is thanks to Teacher, and thanks to the Xiao Family as well. If Mr. Xiao Yong had not brought Teacher to Wutan City, Guni would likely never have had the chance to advance to the third grade in this lifetime!"

Speaking of this, Guni almost wanted to kowtow to Xiao Yong.

"We have all been blessed by Brother Yong!"

Xiao Zhan was equally filled with emotion.

"Teacher asked me to inquire, Patriarch Xiao, about the Medicinal Materials Young Master Xiao Yan asked you to collect. How is the collection going?"

Guni asked.

"I am ashamed. Yan'er entrusted me with this task, yet after more than twenty days of work, I am still short one ingredient!"

"I have already sent the Xiao Family's people into the Monster Mountain Range to search for it. There should be news in a few more days!"

Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"Mm!"

Guni nodded, then began discussing business.

"This morning, the Mittel Auction House received a Mysterious Tier High-Grade Cultivation Method, the Wind Scroll Art. It is a Wind Attribute Cultivation Method!"

"After Teacher learned of it, he told me to hold it back and personally deliver it to the Xiao Family!"

Guni took out a Scroll from his Storage Ring and placed it on the table before Xiao Zhan.

"A... a Mysterious Tier High-Grade Cultivation Method???"

Xiao Zhan leapt to his feet in excitement.

"That's right, and it is also a Wind Attribute Cultivation Method that Patriarch Xiao Zhan can cultivate!"

"I believe that if Patriarch Xiao Zhan switches to this Mysterious Tier High-Grade Cultivation Method, his combat strength will be Greatly Improved!"

Guni said with a smile.

"This... Master Chen Yang, thank you so much!"

"I... I don't even know..."

"Ah!!!"

Xiao Zhan was so excited that he could barely speak coherently.

"Patriarch Xiao, don't rush to thank him. Teacher is asking for 400,000 Gold Coins for this Cultivation Method!"

Guni continued.

"No problem. Forget 400,000—even 500,000 Gold Coins would be reasonable!"

"For Master Chen Yang to remember Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan is immensely grateful!"

Xiao Zhan immediately reached into his Storage Ring for money, only to remember halfway through that the Clan no longer had that much liquid capital.

"Uncle Xiao Zhan!"

"I have money here. Use it for now!"

At that moment, a figure dressed in a purple gown appeared at the doorway and called out to Xiao Zhan inside.

"Xun Er???"

Xiao Zhan hurriedly rose. The way he looked at Xun Er was actually even more special than how he treated Guni.

"Uncle Xiao Zhan, if you urgently need money, take it first. You can have Brother Xiao Yan repay me later!"

Xun Er smiled and walked gracefully into the hall. Then she took out a Five-patterned Purple Gold Card from her Storage Ring and placed it on the table.

"This..."

"Then thank you, Xun Er. Once this year's income from the Clan's businesses is reported, Uncle will repay you immediately!"

Xiao Zhan did not want his son to repay the debt for him.

"Xun Er said Brother Xiao Yan would repay it, so Brother Xiao Yan will repay it!"

Xun Er wore a serious expression.

"Then... all right!"

Xiao Zhan smiled bitterly. He did not dare disobey a single word from this girl!

"Then I'll be leaving!"

After saying that, Xun Er did not even glance at Guni before turning and leaving.

Guni wisely did not ask about the relationship between Xun Er and Xiao Zhan. Instead, after Xiao Zhan transferred 400,000 Gold Coins to him, he quietly departed.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

That evening, Chen Yang was riding with Ya Fei in the room when the System Prompt suddenly rang in his ears:

[Ding!]

[Detected that the highest-grade Cultivation Method In Wutan City is the Mysterious Tier High-Grade Cultivation Method Wind Scroll Art. The host has obtained the Low-level Earth Tier Cultivation Method Blazing Sun True Art.]
