Ya Fei's Flutter, Seventh-Grade Treasure Pill!

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Another wave of points secured!

Not bad, not bad at all!

As expected, snatching opportunities from "Xiao Yan" yields a massive amount of points.

Hmm... I suppose robbing myself counts too!

Xiao Yan was in a great mood, humming a little tune as he left the Mittel Auction House.

Ya Fei watched Xiao Yan depart, only slowly withdrawing her gaze once his slender figure had completely vanished at the end of the street.

Outside the window, the sunlight was perfect, gilding the entire Wutan City in a faint, golden glow.

Ya Fei stood before the window, her fingertips gently stroking the cold storage ring in her hand, her heart still unable to fully settle.

"A fifteen-year-old Dou Ancestor..."

"It's truly hard to believe!"

She took a deep breath and looked down at the ring in her palm.

The ring was a pale cyan color with an archaic design, and faint streams of light shimmered across its surface; one look was enough to tell it was no ordinary item.

"What... could be inside?"

A flicker of curiosity stirred in Ya Fei's heart.

Although she trusted Xiao Yan's promise implicitly, she still wanted to know what kind of "sincerity" this mysterious Third Young Master of the Xiao Family would produce.

Ya Fei took a deep breath and probed the ring with a wisp of Dou Qi.

Hum—

The very next moment, as her soul power touched the interior of the ring, she felt as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt, freezing her completely in place.

"This... this..."

Ya Fei's cherry lips parted slightly, her beautiful eyes widened into perfect circles, and her pretty face was filled with a look of incredulous shock.

Inside the ring, several scrolls exuding an ancient aura were laid out!

With trembling hands, she took one out and slowly unfurled it.

"Earth-tier Intermediate cultivation method... Mystic Ice Phoenix Art..."

Ya Fei's voice was shaking.

Earth-tier Intermediate!

What kind of concept was that?

Throughout the entire Gama Empire, Earth-tier cultivation methods were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns!

Yet, what Xiao Yan had casually given her was an Earth-tier Intermediate!

And that wasn't even the end of it.

She continued to inspect the remaining scrolls—

Earth-tier Low-level Battle Skill Wind Thunder Sword Art, Earth-tier Low-level Battle Skill Flowing Light Shattered Shadow Steps, Mysterious-tier High-level Battle Skill Heavenly Frost Fist...

One top-tier cultivation method and battle skill after another were displayed in the ring as if they were worthless, and any one of them would be enough to make the various factions of the Gama Empire fight until they were battered and bloody!

"Are... are these... all for me?"

Ya Fei muttered to herself, her voice filled with disbelief.

She had guessed that Xiao Yan would be generous, but she hadn't expected him to be generous to this extent!

Earth-tier cultivation methods and battle skills, regardless of the faction, were considered core foundations that only the most essential members were qualified to practice.

And she, Ya Fei—

Because her cultivation talent was insufficient, she had never been valued in her family, and the highest-level cultivation methods she could access were naturally nothing to write home about.

Yet now, Xiao Yan had casually handed her a pile of Earth-tier items!

"There are also medicinal pills..."

Ya Fei suppressed the shock in her heart and continued to inspect the other items in the ring.

In one corner of the ring, dozens of jade bottles were neatly arranged, each labeled with the name and grade of the pill inside.

Third-grade pills, fourth-grade pills, fifth-grade pills...

There were even a few six-grade pills emitting an astonishing medicinal fragrance!

"Six-grade... six-grade pills..."

Ya Fei gasped.

Six-grade pills were as rare as hen's teeth throughout the entire Gama Empire!

The reason Pill King Gu He was able to make a name for himself across the Gama Empire was precisely because he was a six-grade alchemist!

Within the ring Xiao Yan had casually handed her were several tier-six medicinal pills!

"Just who... is this Third Young Master of the Xiao Family?"

Ya Fei felt a sense of shock she could not name.

However—

When her gaze fell upon a jade box at the very depths of the ring, she froze completely.

The jade box was a deep, translucent green, emitting a faint, warm luster; one look was enough to tell it was crafted from top-tier spirit jade.

Affixed to the surface of the box was a small label—

"Heavenly Spirit Creation Pill (Tier 7)."

Ya Fei's pupils constricted sharply.

Heavenly Spirit Creation Pill!

A tier-seven treasure pill!

This was an extremely unique medicinal pill; although it was ranked as tier-seven, its rarity far exceeded that of ordinary tier-seven pills!

Because—

The sole function of the Heavenly Spirit Creation Pill was to enhance the user's cultivation talent!

It did not temporarily boost one's cultivation base, but fundamentally altered a person's innate bone structure and aptitude!

On the Dou Qi Continent, talent determined a person's ceiling.

Some spent their entire lives unable to break through to become a Dou Practitioner, while others were gifted with such extraordinary talent that they could reach the heights of a Dou Huang or Dou Ancestor at a young age.

Talent was an insurmountable chasm for the vast majority of cultivators.

And the Heavenly Spirit Creation Pill was a heaven-defying object capable of bridging that chasm!

"Is... is this for me?"

Ya Fei's voice trembled, and her eyes turned slightly red.

Though she possessed exceptional talent in business, her aptitude for cultivation was merely mediocre.

It was precisely for this reason that she had been marginalized within the Mittel Family and sent to a small place like Wutan City to manage an auction house.

Had it been any of the family members with outstanding talent, they would have long been kept in the Gama Holy City to receive the family's focused cultivation.

But now—

The Heavenly Spirit Creation Pill was right before her!

As long as she consumed this pill, her bone structure and aptitude would undergo a complete transformation!

She, Ya Fei, could also become a true genius!

"Young Master Xiao Yan..."

Ya Fei gripped the jade box tightly, her knuckles turning white, as an indescribable surge of emotion welled up in her heart.

There was shock, gratitude, and a trace of... something she herself had not yet realized.

She had assumed Xiao Yan only needed an obedient pawn, someone to provide the Mittel Family's resources and connections.

She never expected him to be so incredibly generous!

Earth-tier cultivation techniques and battle skills, tier-six pills, a tier-seven treasure pill...

The value of these items far exceeded all the medicinal materials her Mittel Auction House could provide!

"It seems this Third Young Master of the Xiao Family is truly extraordinary..."

Ya Fei murmured to herself, the shock in her eyes gradually replaced by fervor.

She took a deep breath, reorganized the items in the ring, and carefully slipped it onto her finger.

"Since Young Master Xiao Yan treats me with such sincerity, I must repay him with all my might, no matter what!"

A sharp glint flashed in Ya Fei's eyes; her resolve was set.

She stood up, smoothed her dress, and stepped out of her office.

"Someone come!"

She summoned a maid, her voice cold and decisive.

"Go, gather all the medicinal materials currently in the warehouse and have them delivered to the Xiao Family."

The maid was slightly stunned, asking uncertainly, "Miss, all of them... you mean all of them?"

"All of them."

Ya Fei's tone allowed for no doubt.

"Yes!"

The maid acknowledged the order and turned to leave.

"Wait—"

Ya Fei called out to her again.

"It is not just about gifting it to the Xiao Family."

Her voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable firmness.

"From this day forward, all resources of our Miteer Auction House in Wutan City will be provided to the Xiao Family unconditionally."

"Medicinal herbs, pills, Dou Techniques, intelligence... whatever the Xiao Family needs, we shall provide."

"Do you understand?"

The maid was completely stunned.

Provide unconditionally to the Xiao Family?

Just give it all away to the Xiao Family like that?
