Xiao Xun'er Takes the Pill, Reward Returned!

Xiao Xuan followed Ya Fei into a private room.

She then turned to face Xiao Xuan.

"Please have a seat, Young Master Xiao Xuan."

Xiao Xuan did not stand on ceremony and sat down in a chair.

Ya Fei sat across from him, her alluring peach-blossom eyes fixed on him.

"Young Master Xiao Xuan, those hundred Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills you mentioned earlier..."

She did not finish her sentence, but her meaning was obvious.

Words alone were not enough. She wanted to see the goods.

Xiao Xuan did not waste words.

He raised his hand, and the Storage Ring on his finger glimmered faintly.

A jade bottle appeared on the table.

Then came a second.

A third.

A fourth.

One jade bottle after another appeared on the table, lined up neatly.

Ya Fei looked at the jade bottles on the table, and her breathing stopped for a moment.

She reached out, picked up a jade bottle, and removed the stopper.

A smooth, round pill rolled into her palm.

Three clear green patterns were visible upon it, and a medicinal fragrance rushed toward her.

A Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill.

She picked up the second jade bottle.

The same pill.

The third.

The fourth.

She inspected more than a dozen jade bottles in succession. Every single one contained genuine Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills.

Ya Fei set down the jade bottle in her hand and looked up at Xiao Xuan.

The look in her eyes had changed completely.

"Young Master Xiao Xuan, where did you get so many Fourth-Rank Pills?"

"You do not need to know that," Xiao Xuan said.

Ya Fei did not press further after hearing that.

In the auction business, the most important thing was not asking too many questions.

If a customer did not wish to speak, asking would be useless.

"Auction these pills for me," Xiao Xuan said.

"Sell them as soon as possible."

Ya Fei nodded.

"Rest assured, Young Master Xiao Xuan. The Mittal Auction House has branches throughout the Jia Ma Empire. Although one hundred Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills is no small quantity, if we distribute them among the branches for auction, they will all be sold in no time."

Xiao Xuan nodded.

"Then that is settled."

He stood up, preparing to leave.

"Please wait, Young Master Xiao Xuan," Ya Fei said.

Xiao Xuan stopped.

"Regarding the auction commission..." Ya Fei said.

"Follow the usual rules," Xiao Xuan said.

Ya Fei froze for a moment.

Following the rules meant that the Mittal Auction House would take ten percent.

A conservative estimate put the value of one hundred Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills at ten million Gold Coins.

Ten percent was one million Gold Coins.

"Young Master Xiao Xuan, are you sure?"

"I am," Xiao Xuan said.

With that, he turned and walked out of the private room.

Ya Fei sat in her chair, staring at the densely packed jade bottles on the table without speaking for a long while.

Only after quite some time did she come back to her senses.

She stood, left the private room, and headed deeper into the auction house.

The auction house's rear courtyard.

Nigu.

The Mittal Auction House's chief appraiser.

A second-rank alchemist.

"Master Nigu," Ya Fei said as she entered.

"Ya Fei, what is it?" Nigu asked, setting down his teacup.

Ya Fei walked over to him, her expression somewhat complicated.

"Someone just brought in a batch of pills and wishes to ask Master to examine them."

"Pills?" Nigu chuckled. "What kind of pills are worth you coming here personally?"

"Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills," Ya Fei said.

Nigu's smile stiffened.

"Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills? Fourth-Rank Pills?"

"Yes."

"One pill?"

Ya Fei shook her head.

Nigu frowned. "Two pills?"

Ya Fei shook her head again.

"How many exactly?" Nigu grew somewhat impatient.

"One hundred," Ya Fei said.

The teacup in Nigu's hand nearly fell to the floor.

He abruptly stood up and stared at Ya Fei.

"What did you say?"

"One hundred Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills," Ya Fei repeated.

Nigu's expression changed.

"One hundred Fourth-Rank Pills? Who brought them?"

"Xiao Xuan of the Xiao Clan," Ya Fei said.

Nigu was stunned.

"Xiao Xuan? That good-for-nothing from the Xiao Clan with Third Stage Dou Qi?"

"It was him."

"Impossible," Nigu said firmly. "How could a good-for-nothing with Third Stage Dou Qi possibly produce one hundred Fourth-Rank Pills?"

"I have already examined the pills," Ya Fei said. "They are indeed Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills, and their quality is excellent."

Nigu fell silent for a moment.

"Take me to see them."

Ya Fei nodded and led Nigu toward the private room.

Inside the private room.

Nigu stood before the table, examining the pills in the jade bottles one bottle at a time.

He inspected them very carefully.

He took out every pill to examine it and smell it.

Ya Fei stood nearby, watching his movements.

After quite a while, Nigu finally set down the last jade bottle.

His face was filled with shock.

"Well?" Ya Fei asked.

"They are all genuine," Nigu said.

His voice trembled slightly.

"Moreover, their quality is even better than ordinary Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills. The refining technique is extremely skillful. They were definitely refined by an outstanding fourth-rank alchemist."

Although Ya Fei had been prepared for this, she still could not help feeling shocked.

"One hundred Fourth-Rank Pills," Nigu muttered. "Just who is this Xiao Xuan?"

"I do not know either," Ya Fei said.

She recalled Xiao Xuan's expression when he had taken out the pills earlier.

He had been far too calm.

It was as if those one hundred Fourth-Rank Pills meant nothing to him.

"Isn't this Xiao Xuan only at Third Stage Dou Qi?" Nigu asked.

"Could a good-for-nothing at Third Stage Dou Qi take out one hundred Fourth-Rank Pills?"

Ya Fei did not speak.

She was wondering the very same thing.

"It seems this fourth young master of the Xiao Clan is not so simple," Nigu said.

Ya Fei nodded.

"We must make every effort to befriend him."

A glint flashed through her eyes.

Someone capable of producing one hundred Fourth-Rank Pills was worth befriending with all her strength, no matter what his cultivation was.

After leaving the Mittal Auction House, Xiao Xuan headed toward the Xiao Clan.

He was in a good mood along the way.

Once Ya Fei sold the hundred Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills, they would soon turn into a large sum of Gold Coins.

With money, he could buy more cultivation techniques, Dou Techniques, and pills to give Xiao Xun'er.

The more he gave, the more rewards he would receive in return.

The faster his strength would rise.

As Xiao Xuan was thinking, the system's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

[Detected that the bound target has consumed a first-rank Qi Recovery Pill.]

[Host has obtained a random return reward.]

[Generating return reward...]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the formula for the second-rank Heavenly Spirit Pill.]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the refining ability for the second-rank Heavenly Spirit Pill.]

Xiao Xuan halted.

The Heavenly Spirit Pill formula?

Refining ability?

He immediately inspected the information in his mind.

The Heavenly Spirit Pill was a second-rank pill.

After consuming it, a Dou Zhe could raise their cultivation by one star.

The system had not only given him the pill formula, but had directly granted him the ability to refine it as well.

In other words, he could now directly refine Heavenly Spirit Pills.

The corners of Xiao Xuan's lips lifted slightly.

This system was truly considerate.

He collected his thoughts and quickened his pace toward the Xiao Clan.

The Xiao Clan.

Xiao Xuan entered through the gates and headed straight for Xiao Xun'er's residence.

Xiao Xun'er's door was slightly ajar.

Just as he reached the entrance, he heard a voice from inside.

"Brother Xiao Xuan."
