Background / History

Ya Fei first takes notice of a black-robed, masked visitor to the Temir Auction House and suspects that he may be an alchemist. The visitor is Xiao Tianci, who has come to sell Body Tempering Pills. 12

After Xiao Tianci asks her to obtain books and a Storage Ring, he privately reveals his identity as a member of the Xiao Clan. Ya Fei is shocked by the contrast between the previously inconspicuous Xiao Tianci and the young alchemist before her, but agrees to protect his identity and promptly arrange the pill auction. 13

She personally hosts the auction of Xiao Tianci's Tier 3 Body Tempering Pill. By presenting its ability to strengthen a cultivator's foundation and improve breakthrough chances, she drives intense competition among Wutan City's major factions. 14

Ya Fei later delivers Xiao Tianci's auction proceeds, a Storage Ring filled with books, and a Temir Auction House VIP card. Although the auction house's usual commission is five percent, she reduces his fee to one percent; the Body Tempering Pill had sold for 180,000 gold coins. 17

Following the destruction of the Jialie Clan, Ya Fei becomes increasingly certain that Xiao Tianci was responsible and grows more interested in both his strength and alchemical ability. 29

When Xiao Tianci prepares to leave Wutan City for training, Ya Fei expresses concern for his safety and reluctance at his departure. 34 68

After his return, their relationship becomes openly intimate. Ya Fei also learns that Xiao Tianci can refine fourth-grade pills, prompting her to seek Taiping Golden Pills from him. 65 66

She initially commissions Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills, then changes the order to two Taiping Golden Pills in exchange for supplying Xiao Tianci with medicinal herbs. Before his departure, she gives him a top-tier VIP card granting privileges at Mite'er Auction Houses throughout the Jia Ma Empire. 66 67
