Miteer Tengshan's Importance!

Hai Bodong's expression froze, and he looked at Miteer Tengshan before him with surprise.

"A small Wutan City actually has a fifth-grade pill? Tengshan, you mustn't deceive this old man," Hai Bodong said.

He currently only possessed the strength of a Dou Ling. Years ago, his battle with Queen Medusa had caused his power to be sealed, leaving him with only Dou Ling strength.

The Ice Emperor, once renowned throughout the Jia Ma Empire, had now fallen to Dou Ling.

If his strength were not restored, he would never have left this desert.

But now, if there was a way to recover his Dou Wang strength, he could give it a try.

"It's true," Miteer Tengshan said firmly.

"Very well, I'll believe you this once. No matter where it is, as long as there's a possibility of restoring my strength, this old man will try," Hai Bodong said, though he was reluctant to leave the desert.

But lingering here was meaningless.

It was better to try in Wutan City; perhaps it could truly help him recover his Dou Wang strength.

At the very least, once he became a Dou Wang, he would possess the ability of Dou Qi Wings, making travel across the continent much more convenient.

Unlike his current Dou Ling strength, traveling anywhere was extremely inconvenient.

"Let's go!" Miteer Tengshan and Hai Bodong left the vast, endless desert that stretched as far as the eye could see, heading towards Wutan City.

The news of the Miteer Auction House in Wutan City obtaining a fifth-grade pill.

Had already caused quite a stir in the Jia Ma Empire.

Not only the Miteer family, but also its patriarch Tengshan, and the former Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, had already set off for Wutan City.

In the imperial city of the Jia Ma Empire, the Nalan Clan was also shocked.

Just now, Nalan Jie, who was seated in the main hall, had taken a sip of tea while entertaining his guests.

He saw his son Nalan Su walk in, "Father, I have something important to tell you. Can we speak in private?"

"Alright," Nalan Jie nodded, then excused himself to the guests beside him, an elderly man, saying he would be right back.

He then left the hall.

Stepping outside, he looked at his son Nalan Su and said.

"What is it? The people in the hall just now were old friends from my youth. We haven't seen each other in many years. It's a time for reminiscing in our twilight years, and there's so much to talk about. They even held you when you were a child, so they're not outsiders. Is there anything you can't say in front of my old brothers?"

Nalan Su's expression was serious.

"Father, I just received news that the Miteer Auction House in Wutan City recently acquired a fifth-grade pill."

"It will be auctioned in the next few days. I heard that Tengshan of the Miteer family has already set off for Wutan City."

"Should we go with them? A fifth-grade pill will surely attract many powerful buyers. Our Nalan family has ample funds and isn't lacking money. Should we also make a trip?"

"What? A fifth-grade pill? How is that possible?"

Nalan Jie's expression was shocked. He had seen fifth-grade alchemists before.

The honorary elder of the Cloud Mist Sect, the foremost alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, the Pill King Gu He, was a sixth-grade alchemist.

But for a remote and insignificant place like Wutan City to produce a fifth-grade pill, Nalan Jie was still very shocked.

Thinking he had misheard, he looked at Nalan Su and said, "Are you telling the truth? Is the information reliable?"

"Father, this information is extremely reliable. Several guards from our family personally saw people from the Miteer family leave the imperial city," Nalan Su said.

"If that's truly the case, then our Nalan family cannot fall behind. Set off immediately for Wutan City!"

Nalan Jie's attitude was firm.

"But, Father..." Nalan Su suddenly looked hesitant, then looked at his father Nalan Jie, stammering, unsure how to speak.

"I know what you're worried about. A few days ago, Yanran disregarded my opposition as her grandfather and rashly broke off her engagement with that young man from the Xiao Clan. This matter did indeed anger me, and I really don't want to swallow my pride and go to Wutan City."

"However, a fifth-grade pill is an extremely precious item."

"Our Nalan family must also get it first. I think, since our Nalan family already knows about this, it won't be long before many forces and families in the Jia Ma Empire are aware of it too."

"Set off immediately."

"Yes, Father." Nalan Su nodded. He was also surprised that this small Wutan City had such a high-grade alchemist.

Although not comparable to the Pill King Gu He's sixth-grade alchemy, a fifth-grade alchemist was still considered a top-tier level in the Jia Ma Empire.

Flying towards Wutan City with Dou Qi Wings, Nalan Jie made up his mind and plans.

If possible, he definitely wanted to forge a good relationship with that fifth-grade alchemist from the Jia Ma Empire.

Having the resources of a fifth-grade alchemist would bring immeasurable benefits to their Nalan family in the future.

If he later advanced to sixth-grade, even the Pill King Gu He would have to pay attention.

Previously, Nalan Jie had fought a sixth-tier magical beast to improve his strength, and in the process, he was poisoned. The toxins had remained in his body over the years, frequently flaring up.

Especially recently, due to Nalan Yanran's broken engagement, he had been angered countless times, exacerbating the poisoning in his body.

Although he could still manage for now, he didn't know when it would fully erupt.

If that fifth-grade alchemist could help him expel the toxins from his body, resolving this hidden worry, this ticking time bomb that could erupt at any moment.

That would be wonderful.

In Xiao Yan's room within Wutan City, several days had passed.

Under the guidance and instruction of Yao Chen, Xiao Yan's strength had already improved to the level of an eight-stage Dou Zhi Qi.

Although there was still some distance to go before breaking through to become a Dou Zhe, he was gradually closing in on it.

Yao Chen was quite looking forward to it, as he would be able to receive his mission rewards once Xiao Yan reached the strength of a Dou Zhe.

A few days later, the day arrived for the Miteer Auction House to begin the auction for the fifth-tier medicinal pill, the Heavenly Nourishing Gold Pill.

On this day, Wutan City was bustling with unprecedented liveliness; many prominent figures had even traveled specifically from the imperial capital of the Jia Ma Empire to Wutan City.

They had come to participate in the auction for this fifth-tier medicinal pill, the Heavenly Nourishing Gold Pill.

Ya Fei was also very excited. She had not expected this fifth-tier medicinal pill to attract the attention of the clan leader, Miteer Tengshan, to the point that he had come in person.

Even the Nalan Clan was no exception.

Before the auction began, Miteer Tengshan and Hai Bodong arrived backstage and looked at Ya Fei.

"Ya Fei, where is the alchemist who refined this fifth-tier medicinal pill, the Heavenly Nourishing Gold Pill? Take me to meet him."

"Since the other party is a fifth-tier alchemist, our Miteer Clan must naturally treat him with formal respect. I, as the clan leader, shall receive him personally!" Miteer Tengshan said.

"Clan Leader, that master is currently in the VIP room. I will take you to see him right away."

Ya Fei said, and then led Tengshan and Hai Bodong to the entrance of a VIP room.

"Mr. Yao, the leader of our Miteer Clan wishes to meet with you," Ya Fei said.
