In Their Sights

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan went directly to the Black Seal City Auction House. Looking at the enormous Black Seal City Auction House, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, the goods are incomparable. This Black Seal City Auction House is much larger than the headquarters of the Mittel Auction House."

Xiao Yan patted Xiao Yu's shoulder lightly and said, "Let's go, let's go to the appraisal room first!"

Xiao Yu followed Xiao Yan through the main gate and directly into the central hall of the auction house. His gaze swept around and finally settled on the room in the far corner that had a sign that read "Appraisal Room".

Pushing open the door to the appraisal room, one is greeted by an enormous space filled with over a hundred small, secret rooms. Anyone with trypophobia would likely faint here.

As soon as they entered the appraisal room, a stunningly beautiful maid in fiery attire approached them, her sweet, seductive voice asking, "Are you two here for appraisal or for a price assessment before auction?"

Xiao Yan cut to the chase. "Price assessment!"

The maid smiled charmingly and said, "Yes, please follow me!"

As the maid turned to leave, her serpentine waist swayed in an alluring arc, but Xiao Yu remained completely unmoved. Her feigned mannerisms were nothing like the natural grace of Cai Lin and Cai Die Cai Lin. Xiao Yu's tastes had become quite discerning.

The maid led Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan into two separate secret rooms. Xiao Yu pushed open his door and went inside. A middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Yu with sharp eyes, but because of the black robe, he couldn't see anything.

"You can take out what you need to evaluate now!" the middle-aged man said.

Xiao Yu flicked his wrist, and six neatly arranged bottles landed on the table. The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed. "You want to identify medicinal pills?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man picked up one of the jade bottles, poured the pills into his palm, and gently sniffed them. Then, his gaze lingered on the blue and purple Pill Pattern on the pill, and he said with considerable surprise, "This is... Two-patterned Green Spirit Pill?"

"Okay!" Xiao Yu nodded slightly. "Help me estimate the price. We'll auction it at your Black Seal City Auction House tomorrow."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Alright, the starting price for these Two-patterned Green Spirit Pill is around 300,000 Gold Coins. However, since you have six bottles, the price will be lowered. I estimate the final price will be around 400,000 to 450,000 Gold Coins!"

Xiao Yu pointed to three bottles of pills and said, "Take a look at these three bottles of pills. I think your Black Seal City Auction House will like to auction off pills like these!"

The middle-aged man paused slightly, then took out one of the bottles of pills, poured it into his palm, and when he saw the Pill Pattern on the pill—one green, one white, and one purple—his eyes widened suddenly, and his tone became slightly hurried. "This, this is Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill?"

"Good, help me estimate the auction price of this Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill!" Xiao Yu said softly.

"The price of this Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill should be around 700,000 Gold Coins. If there's a wealthy enough bidder, a price of 900,000 is not out of the question!" the middle-aged man said.

Xiao Yu knew the middle-aged man was right, and then said, "Then let's arrange the auction."

The middle-aged man said respectfully, "Very well, the price of your auction item has reached the level of a Level 1 VIP in our auction house. Here is First-Class VIP Card, please accept it!"

This was a gold card. After taking the card, Xiao Yu said to the middle-aged man, "In that case, I'll take my leave now!"

The middle-aged man said with utmost respect, "Sir, please make yourself at home."

The fact that Xiao Yu could produce so many fourth-grade pills proved that he was very strong. So after Xiao Yu left, the middle-aged man put away the pills and opened the door to go outside.

Coincidentally, the door of the room next to them opened at the same time, and an old man walked out. He was slightly taken aback when he saw the middle-aged man and asked, "Li Quan, what's this?"

"Elder Zhao, I've met an extraordinary person, and I'd like to report this to the sect leader!" Li Quan said with a smile.

Elder Zhao chuckled and said, "What a coincidence, me too!"

After exchanging a glance, the two walked together toward the room where the sect leader was.

When Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan left the Black Seal City Auction House, they were both holding a gold-plated First-Class VIP Card. Back at the inn, Xiao Yu looked at Cai Lin, who was still sitting by the bed, and said, "You... I... how about I get you another room?"

After taking the child, Xiao Nian was sent back to the System Space. Xiao Yu would also stay in the System Space for a period of time these days. He didn't need to enter with his real body; he only needed to enter with his Soul Power.

Cai Lin lay alluringly on the bed, saying somewhat casually, "Go get another room and stay there yourself. This room is mine!"

Seeing Cai Lin's languid appearance, Xiao Yu didn't know what to say and could only book another room and move in.

The next day.

When Xiao Yan saw Cai Lin following behind Xiao Yu, he was taken aback. Xiao Yu smiled and said, "She's been with us for a while now. She's quite strong and can protect us!"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, glanced at Cai Lin, and then the three of them headed towards the Thousand Medicine Pavilion.

At the entrance of the Thousand Medicine Pavilion, Xiao Qian was already waiting. When he saw Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan arrive, a hint of joy and malice flashed in his eyes. He then walked up directly, and when he saw Cai Lin standing next to Xiao Yu, he was stunned and asked, "This is?"

Xiao Yu's deep voice came from within the black robe. "This is my friend."

"Friends?" A hint of lust flashed in Xiao Qian's eyes.

Cai Lin's extremely cold gaze fell upon Xiao Qian Xiao Qian, and instantly an aura of death surged towards him, startling Xiao Qian so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself, "This woman's eyes are terrifying!"

The group headed directly towards the Black Seal City Auction House, following behind Xiao Qian. There was a small path next to the entrance of the auction house. Xiao Qian took out a light green VIP card, which the group took, looked at, and then put inside.

Xiao Qian had Third-Class VIP Card, so their location was towards the back; the area at the very front was for First-Class VIP Card.

As the auction was about to begin, more and more people entered the venue. Soon, a group of figures surged in through Xiao Yu's door. Xiao Yan, sitting next to Xiao Yu, whispered in Xiao Yu's ear when he saw the young man in the middle, "That's Fan Ling, the young sect master of the Blood Sect. His strength is Three-Star Dou Ling. The Blood Sect's techniques are extremely sinister and vicious."

Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow. So that guy was Fan Ling. Just then, Fan Ling seemed to sense something and looked over, but because of the black robe, he couldn't see Xiao Yu's gaze.

An elderly man with a pale face standing next to Fan Ling frowned slightly when he saw Fan Ling stop and asked, "Young Sect Master, what's wrong?"

Fan Ling shook his head slightly and said, "That guy seems a bit strange. I find his aura both repulsive and unsettling!"

The old man looked in Xiao Yu's direction after hearing this, frowning as he said, "I seem to have the same feeling. Could he be an alchemist? But ordinary flames aren't something we're particularly afraid of, are they?"

Fan Ling glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "Keep an eye on him. After the auction, we'll go meet that person. There's definitely something fishy about him!"

"Yes, Young Sect Master!"
