While the Mite'er Auction House was caught up in a frenzied bidding war, its instigator, Xiao Tianci, had already returned to the Xiao Clan.

He went straight back to his room, took the books off his shelf one by one, and began reading.

Now that he had cultivated his Dou Technique and completed the system mission, Xiao Tianci naturally needed to continue increasing his experience points.

Ya Fei had already agreed to gather books for him, so Xiao Tianci would not have to worry about running out of reading material anytime soon.

As the pages in Xiao Tianci's hands kept turning, the experience points on the translucent system interface continued to rise.

Under Xiao Tianci's tireless efforts, several hours passed.

The system's experience points finally reached one thousand!

Looking at the several hefty books he had just finished, Xiao Tianci let out a long breath.

Thankfully, his comprehension and memory had now reached an absurd level. Otherwise, reading all these books alone would have taken several days!

After hours of intense concentration, a trace of fatigue appeared in Xiao Tianci's eyes.

"Finally, I can draw a prize."

However, when he saw the full thousand experience points, the fatigue in his eyes was swiftly suppressed by excitement.

"Draw!"

Xiao Tianci spoke.

A roulette wheel immediately appeared before him.

At Xiao Tianci's command, the wheel began spinning at high speed.

At last, under his expectant gaze, the wheel gradually stopped on the question mark section.

"Congratulations, Host. You have drawn a mysterious reward: Critical Hit. You have been granted one Platinum Draw!"

Xiao Tianci was instantly overjoyed.

His luck really was incredible. This time, it was actually a Platinum Draw!

By now, Xiao Tianci had also worked out a certain pattern regarding these critical-hit draws.

The rewards from ordinary draws were actually similar to those from the various critical-hit draws, and they also contained all kinds of good items.

However, Silver, Gold, and other critical-hit draws were somewhat like guaranteed rewards. As the draw tier increased, relatively inferior items would be filtered out.

For example, an ordinary draw could yield a first-tier pill, but pills from a Silver Draw were at least third-tier.

In the end, the indicator for the Platinum Draw stopped on the Dou Technique category.

"Flight Dou Technique, Demon God Wings!"

Xiao Tianci's face filled with extreme delight as he looked at the Dou Technique he had drawn.

He had never expected to obtain the rarest kind of Dou Technique: a flight Dou Technique!

On the Dou Qi Continent, one had to reach the Dou Ling realm at the very least to barely possess the aptitude for flight and manage short-distance aerial travel. Only after reaching the Dou Wang realm, or even the Dou Emperor realm, could one use externalized Dou Qi to condense energy wings behind one's back, completely breaking free from the earth's restraints and soaring into the skies.

Flight Dou Techniques, meanwhile, were extremely strange secret arts that allowed the practitioner to extend two small auxiliary meridians from the channels on their back.

Once these two auxiliary meridians had formed, even someone below the Dou Wang level could condense a pair of wings and fly through the air!

Although the system had not labeled the grade of these Demon God Wings Xiao Tianci had drawn, they gave him an exceptionally unusual feeling.

In particular, the system icon beside the scroll depicted a pair of incomparably domineering wings, one black and one white. They did not seem to have come from any magical beast.

"Since it came from a Platinum Draw, it definitely won't be bad." A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Tianci's mouth.

Though he was somewhat tired, after obtaining a flight Dou Technique, he had no desire to rest. He could not wait to go out and test these Demon God Wings!

After all, the feeling of soaring freely through the sky was tremendously tempting to Xiao Tianci.

As he passed the clan training ground, Xiao Tianci noticed that there were an absurd number of people there today.

Not only were the Xiao Clan's younger members present, but several elders were standing among them as well.

Xiao Tianci also spotted Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning.

They appeared to be excitedly discussing something.

Once he drew closer, their conversation naturally reached Xiao Tianci's ears.

"Have you heard? It seems our Xiao Clan spent a huge sum today to buy a pill." Xiao Ning spoke mysteriously.

"A pill? What pill?" Someone beside him looked over curiously.

Others were even more interested in the pill's price.

"A full one hundred and eighty thousand gold coins!" Xiao Ning said. "That price... tsk, tsk."

A hint of amazement appeared in his eyes.

"What?"

"One hundred and eighty thousand?"

"What kind of pill could possibly cost that much!"

A burst of startled cries rose from the crowd.

Still, no one doubted Xiao Ning's words. After all, Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu were siblings, and he was the Grand Elder's son. Naturally, his information channels within the Xiao Clan were exceptionally well-connected, and he was rarely wrong.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Xiao Ning nodded in satisfaction.

After all, when he had first received this information, his own reaction had been even more exaggerated than theirs.

Even if it was a third-tier pill, a price of one hundred and eighty thousand gold coins was still a little too outrageous.

"What pill is worth so much?"

Everyone began asking at once.

"I don't know." Yet at this point, Xiao Ning simply shook his head and waved his hand. "I only know that it cost one hundred and eighty thousand gold coins. I haven't found out anything else yet."

"One hundred and eighty thousand gold coins?" Xiao Tianci, passing through the crowd, froze for a moment, surprise flashing through his eyes.

A suspicion arose in his heart, but he quickly shook his head.

Forget it. It was probably just a coincidence.

Let alone a pill worth one hundred and eighty thousand gold coins, even a pill worth one thousand gold coins would never fall into the hands of Xiao Tianci.

What mattered most right now was testing the Demon God Wings he had just drawn!

At that thought, Xiao Tianci's heart burned with excitement once more, and even his steps became lighter.

Before long, he arrived at a stretch of mountains behind the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Tianci extended his hand, and the flight Dou Technique he had just drawn appeared in his palm.

It was a white scroll. Beside it were four small blood-red characters: Demon God Wings!

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Xiao Tianci could actually sense an exceptionally terrifying pressure from those words!

It was as though those four characters had truly been written in the blood of a demon god!

Fortunately, that terrifying pressure was not directed at Xiao Tianci. Otherwise, he feared he would have been unable to withstand it long ago.

Xiao Tianci carefully untied the finely bound cord around the scroll, then slowly unfurled it.
