Subduing a Tier 6 Magical Beast? Auctioning a Tier 7 Medicinal Pill?

The Amethyst Winged Lion King landed in the open space outside the Mittal Auction House.

Xiao Chen jumped down from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's back.

Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran followed him down as well.

Jia Xingtian looked at Xiao Chen, and his expression changed.

He had not expected the person commanding the Amethyst Winged Lion King to be this young man.

Fa Ma was also stunned, staring at Xiao Chen in shock.

Miteer Tengshan was so shocked that he could not speak.

"Xiao Chen, this Amethyst Winged Lion King..." Jia Xingtian began.

"Yes, I have already subdued it," Xiao Chen said calmly.

Jia Xingtian took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart.

Subduing a Tier 6 Magical Beast.

This young man's strength was truly terrifying.

Fa Ma looked at Xiao Chen, his eyes full of amazement.

He had lived for decades and seen quite a few experts.

Yet he had never seen anyone command a Tier 6 Magical Beast like this.

Xiao Chen was the first.

Miteer Tengshan stepped forward with utmost respect. "Xiao Chen, the Auction is about to begin. Please come inside."

Xiao Chen nodded and took a jade bottle from his robes.

"I happen to have some pills to auction."

Miteer Tengshan accepted the jade bottle. When he opened it, his expression changed drastically.

"This... this is..."

"A Pozong Pill." Xiao Chen spoke indifferently. "Its grade has reached Tier 7."

Miteer Tengshan's hands trembled.

A Tier 7 Medicinal Pill.

A Pozong Pill.

A pill that could help a Dou Emperor expert break through to Dou Zong with absolute certainty.

There was not even a second one of such a thing in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Yet Xiao Chen was putting it up for auction?

"Xiao Chen, are you certain you wish to auction this pill?" Miteer Tengshan's voice trembled.

"I am," Xiao Chen said.

Jia Xingtian's expression changed upon hearing this.

A Pozong Pill?

A medicinal pill that could help a Dou Emperor break through to Dou Zong?

He had been stuck at the peak of Dou Emperor for many years.

If he obtained this Pozong Pill, he could break through to Dou Zong.

Jia Xingtian stared at the jade bottle in Xiao Chen's hand, his eyes burning with desire.

Fa Ma was also stunned, looking at that jade bottle with shock filling his heart.

A Pozong Pill, and a Tier 7 one at that.

Nothing like this had ever appeared in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Yet Xiao Chen could actually produce one.

"Xiao Chen, rest assured. I will definitely auction this pill for the highest possible price."

Xiao Chen nodded.

The group entered the auction house.

Miteer Tengshan led Xiao Chen to a private room on the second floor.

"Xiao Chen, please rest here first. The auction will begin shortly," Miteer Tengshan said.

Xiao Chen nodded and sat down in a chair.

Nalan Jie looked at Nalan Yanran and could not help asking, "Yanran, just what is Xiao Chen's background?"

"He is from the Xiao Clan," Nalan Yanran said.

"The Xiao Clan?" Nalan Jie frowned. "The Xiao Clan of Wutan City?"

"Yes," Nalan Yanran said.

Nalan Jie fell silent.

He knew the Xiao Clan's circumstances very well.

The Xiao Clan's leader, Xiao Zhan, was merely a Da Dou Shi.

Among the younger generation of the Xiao Clan, the most outstanding were only Dou Zhe.

Yet this Xiao Chen could command a Tier 6 Magical Beast and even produce a Tier 7 Medicinal Pill.

Such a genius was actually from the Xiao Clan?

"Is he really a member of the Xiao Clan?" Nalan Jie asked.

Nalan Jie took a deep breath, his heart filled with shock.

Since when had the Xiao Clan produced such an expert?

Nalan Su was silent for a moment before sighing.

"If I had known the Xiao Clan had someone like him, I never should have let you go annul the engagement."

Nalan Yanran's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Father, what did you say?"

"I said that you should not have gone to annul the engagement," Nalan Su said. "We cannot afford to offend someone like Xiao Chen."

"What if he holds a grudge against the Nalan Clan over your annulment of the engagement with Xiao Yan..."

Nalan Su did not continue, but the meaning was already obvious.

Nalan Jie nodded as well. "Your father is right."

"Xiao Chen can command a Tier 6 Magical Beast and produce a Tier 7 Medicinal Pill. The force behind him is definitely no simple matter."

"We cannot afford to offend someone like that."

Nalan Yanran bit her lip without speaking.

She knew her grandfather and father were right.

Xiao Chen was far too powerful.

So powerful that the Nalan Clan was not even qualified to look up to him.

If Xiao Chen bore a grudge against the Nalan Clan over the annulment...

Nalan Yanran did not dare think any further.

"Yanran, if you get the chance in the future, visit the Xiao Clan more often," Nalan Jie said.

"Even if we cannot befriend them, we absolutely must not offend them."

Nalan Yanran nodded. "I understand."

The auction began.

A woman in a cheongsam stepped onto the auction stage and delivered a few opening remarks.

"The first item is a high-tier Xuan-class Dou Technique, the Wind-Thunder Sword Art."

"The starting bid is five hundred thousand gold coins."

As soon as she finished speaking, people below began placing bids.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand."

"Six hundred thousand."

"Six hundred and fifty thousand."

The price climbed steadily before finally selling for one million two hundred thousand gold coins.

Xiao Chen sat in the private room, watching the auction below with a calm expression.

The auction continued, and several more items were brought up.

"Next is another high-tier Xuan-class Dou Technique, the Blazing Palm."

"This Dou Technique is powered by fire-attributed Dou Qi and possesses tremendous might."

"The starting bid is one million gold coins."

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up at those words.

The Blazing Palm.

A fire-attributed Dou Technique.

If he bought it for Xiao Yan to cultivate, he could receive the system's multiplied return.

"One million five hundred thousand," Xiao Chen said calmly.

The entire venue fell silent.

No one raised the price further.

The woman in the cheongsam glanced at Xiao Chen and brought down the auction hammer.

"Sold. Congratulations, sir."

"Next is today's final auction item."

The entire venue fell quiet.

Everyone knew that the final item was the highlight of today's auction.

"A Tier 7 Medicinal Pill, the Pozong Pill."

The instant the auctioneer finished speaking, the entire auction house erupted.

"A Tier 7 Medicinal Pill? It is actually a Tier 7 Medicinal Pill?"

"The Pozong Pill can help a Dou Emperor expert break through to Dou Zong."

Discussion broke out everywhere, and everyone's gaze fell upon the jade bottle in the auctioneer's hand.

Jia Xingtian stared at that jade bottle, his eyes burning with desire.

He had been stuck at the peak of Dou Emperor for many years.

If he obtained this Pozong Pill, he could break through to Dou Zong.

Fa Ma also looked at the jade bottle, filled with amazement.

A Tier 7 Medicinal Pill, a Pozong Pill.

Gu He sat in a private room, looking at the jade bottle with excitement in his eyes.

"The Pozong Pill has a starting bid of ten million gold coins," the auctioneer announced.

As soon as she spoke, someone made a bid.

"Fifteen million."

"Twenty million."

"Twenty-five million."

The price soared.

Jia Xingtian spoke up. "Thirty million."

"Thirty-five million."

"Forty million."

"Fifty million," Jia Xingtian said.

"Fifty million. Is there anyone willing to bid higher?" The auctioneer swept her gaze across the venue.

No one made another bid.

"Fifty million, sold."

"Congratulations to Elder Jia for obtaining the Pozong Pill."

The auction hammer fell, and applause broke out across the venue.

A smile appeared on Jia Xingtian's face.

Fa Ma cupped his hands toward Jia Xingtian. "Elder Jia, congratulations."

Jia Xingtian smiled. "Thank you."

Miteer Tengshan entered the private room and looked at Xiao Chen with utmost respect.

"Xiao Chen, this is your auction proceeds."

He offered a card with both hands.

"Fifty million gold coins, not a coin short."

Xiao Chen accepted the gold card, glanced at it, and put it away.

Jia Xingtian also walked over and cupped his hands toward Xiao Chen.

"Xiao Chen, thank you."

Xiao Chen looked at him. "For what?"

He paused, then continued, "If I truly manage to break through to Dou Zong, you will be an honored guest of the imperial family."

"If you need anything in the future, come find me."

Xiao Chen nodded without speaking.

Jia Xingtian looked at him and silently made up his mind.

This young man's future was boundless.

He had to build a good relationship with him!
