Strong Experts Gather, Auction Begins!

In the heart of Yan City, nestled amidst a dense bamboo forest, stands an elegant Small Courtyard.

In the Small Courtyard, Xiao Yan slightly beckoned with his finger, and withdrew the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.

Instantly, the enormous fire dragon in the sky transformed into a slender flame, returning from his palm back into the Spirit Container within his body.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan took out the Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill he had just refined from the Medicine Cauldron and put it into a jade bottle.

"Xiao Yan, you've finally finished refining it!" an excited voice rang out.

Zi Yan's expression shifted from boredom to renewed energy. She quickly walked to Xiao Yan's side, took out a fruit, and said, "You must be exhausted. Here, have some."

Xiao Yan opened his mouth and ate it. The fruit was icy cold, which removed the chill from his body, and it also had a rare sweetness.

He finished the fruit in a few bites and asked Zi Yan, "Out of pills again?"

Zi Yan immediately flew into a rage. "Am I that kind of person? Why do you think that every time I try to please you, it's because I want you to help me refine pills?"

Xiao Yan showed no remorse and asked again, "You really don't want me to refine medicine? Then I'll put the Medicine Cauldron away."

Zi Yan's expression froze, her face slightly flushed. "There really is only one bottle left."

Brother, you won't let your dear sister go hungry, will you?

Xiao Yan smiled helplessly, having expected this, and said, "Alright, alright, I'll refine it for you."

Zi Yan smiled again and took out several Medicinal Herbs, handing them to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan began refining medicine, throwing several Medicinal Herbs into the Medicine Cauldron. They were quickly burned into medicinal liquid by the flames, and in the blink of an eye, they condensed into pills, which lined up and entered the jade bottle.

At that moment, the Small Courtyard gate was pushed open from the outside.

Xiao Xun'er, dressed in a light green dress, walked in and, seeing the scene in the courtyard, smiled slightly:

"Brother Xiao Yan."

"Sister Zi Yan."

"Xun... er... hello sister." Zi Yan had already picked up a bottle of pills and swallowed them whole.

Xiao Yan turned around and smiled as usual, "Xun'er, you're back. Didn't you explore Yan City more?"

Xiao Xun'er smoothed a strand of hair at her temple and said bluntly, "Without Brother Xiao Yan by my side, I always feel bored."

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat.

"It seems that ever since she reconciled with Xun'er, she has always been so straightforward and passionate. Is she just too insecure?" Xiao Yan thought to himself.

Xiao Yan explained, "Business is booming. With only Gu He, the Alchemist in my Alliance, there aren't enough people to go around. That's why I've been so busy these past few days. I even just finished refining my own pills."

Xiao Xun'er quickly shook her head. "Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er didn't mean to blame you."

"I know, Xun'er. But in the end, I'm the one who called you and Zi Yan out, but I didn't have time to spend with you. I feel a little bad about that," Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Xun'er's eyes were filled with tenderness. "Brother Xiao Yan ~"

Zi Yan was eating pills on the side, but she found it a bit too cloying, so she simply turned her head away.

The auction proceeded as scheduled.

When that day finally arrived, the flow of people in the entire Yan City reached its peak.

Vientiane Auction House, a large number of Dou Zong powerhouses, rarely seen on ordinary days, appeared.

Scorpion Bi Yan, the Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect Four-Star Dou Zong Xie Bi Yan.

Mo Tianxing, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect Four-Star Dou Zong.

The former third strongest on the Black Ranking, the Four-Star Dou Zong Elder, Elder Ying Shan.

Su Qian, the Grand Elder of the Jia Nan Academy, has already consumed an Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill, and his cultivation has now reached the Four-Star Dou Zong. Compared with others, his aura is in no way weak.

Beside him stood Hu Gan, who had also broken through to the Dou Zong, and two other Dou Zong elders.

Those around were secretly astonished by the sheer depth of the Jia Nan Academy's strength.

Only Mo Tianxing, looking at Su Qian and the others, pondered, "Thanks to Master Yan Xiao, Jia Nan Academy has produced three Dou Zong in succession, and Su Qian's strength has also broken through a star. It seems that the decision to have the Black Emperor Sect join the Tian Shu Alliance should be made as soon as possible."

Outside the auction hall, several Dou Zong nodded to each other as a greeting.

Besides them, there were also some Dou Zong powerhouses from even more distant regions. These Dou Zong powerhouses came from empires far from the Black-Corner Region and were not well-known in the Black-Corner Region, but many of them had an aura that was on par with Su Qian, Mo Tianxing, and other Four-Star Dou Zong.

Judging from their cultivation levels, it's highly likely that their target is the Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill.

For a moment, the atmosphere outside the auction hall became somewhat heavy, as everyone clearly realized just how difficult it was to obtain the Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill.

"Everyone, don't linger outside the auction house. Show your Black Card to enter." Hai Bodong suddenly appeared outside the auction house. Despite only being One-Star Dou Zong cultivator, he caused the expressions of many Dou Zong powerhouses present to change.

"So you're Elder Hai from the Tian Shu Alliance. This is my Black Card, please take a look," Mo Tianxing said warmly.

Hai Bodong nodded, glanced at the Black Card, and after confirming it was correct, let Mo Tianxing in. "Sect Leader Mo, please come in."

Mo Tianxing smiled and nodded as he entered.

Next, these Dou Zong powerhouses, who were used to being superior to others and acting like the most powerful people in the world, all lined up like obedient children, handing over their Black Card one after another to enter the auction house, and treating Hai Bodong with great respect.

There was nothing he could do. Although Hai Bodong himself was only One-Star Dou Zong, he had the ruthless Alchemist behind him who dared to strangle an elder of the Lion Underworld Sect in public.

Passing through the entrance to the auction hall, the venue itself was about half the size of a football field.

Anyone holding Black Card can be assigned a room upon entry. There are three floors in total, with 40 rooms per floor.

The auction room is semi-circular, partially enclosing a huge circular platform in its center.

On the huge circular platform, Ya Fei, dressed in a red cheongsam, smiled calmly as she faced a total of 120 auction rooms.

"Welcome everyone to Vientiane Auction House for our first auction."

"I am Ya Fei, the host of this auction."

Ya Fei bowed slightly, her curvaceous figure and alluring face causing most of the Dou Emperor and Dou Zong powerhouses to feel a surge of desire.

In room number one.

Xiao Yan sat on a cushioned sofa, with Zi Yan and Xiao Xun'er beside him.

Looking at Ya Fei on the field, he found that he didn't have any particular thoughts in his mind.

After a brief moment of thought, he concluded, "It seems Medusa raised my threshold."

He turned to look at Xiao Xun'er... Hmm, she still has some ideas.

"Could it be that I'm a monogamous person?" Xiao Yan pondered.

Just as he was thinking...

On the round platform, Ya Fei said crisply, "I know you've all come here to bid on the items you want, so I won't waste your time."

"Next up is the first item in this auction."

"Break-Ancestor Pill!"
