Yun Yun's Admiration, Dou Zong's Strength!

After refining the Sect-Breaking Pill, Yao Chen returned to the Miteer Auction House and handed the pill to Ya Fei to arrange for its auction.

The Sect-Breaking Pill could allow a peak nine-star Dou Huang to break through and attain the strength of a Dou Zong.

Therefore, if this pill were to appear in the Jia Ma Empire, it would undoubtedly shock many powerful experts.

Whether it was the Cloud Mist Sect, the Imperial Family of the Jia Ma Empire, or the Alchemist Guild, every family and sect would be eager to fight for it.

"Mr. Yao, is this truly the sixth-grade Sect-Breaking Pill?" Ya Fei asked, her voice trembling with excitement as she looked at the pill in her hand.

Many Dou Huang experts spent their entire lives unable to break through the barrier of the Dou Huang realm.

To think that a Sect-Breaking Pill, capable of elevating a Dou Huang to the strength of a Dou Zong, had been refined by Mr. Yao so effortlessly?

Ya Fei sighed in her heart once more; Mr. Yao was truly worthy of his reputation.

A Dou Zong expert and a sixth-grade alchemist—he was indeed a figure of immense significance.

After putting the Sect-Breaking Pill away for safekeeping, Ya Fei planned to hold the auction for it in the coming days.

"Oh, that's right, Mr. Yao. Yun Yun, the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, has come personally to pay her respects and is currently waiting for you in our VIP room at the Miteer Auction House."

Ya Fei spoke, hoping to gauge Yao Chen's opinion; after all, Yun Yun was not a mere junior like Nalan Yanran.

She was the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect and one of the ten strongest experts in the Jia Ma Empire. The status of the Cloud Mist Sect within the empire was transcendent and formidable.

Even the Imperial Family had to treat them with gravity, often having to defer to the Cloud Mist Sect's interests.

This alone demonstrated the weight and influence the Cloud Mist Sect held within the Jia Ma Empire.

Although Mr. Yao was a Dou Zong-level expert, Ya Fei thought that regardless of his status, he would surely show the Cloud Mist Sect some face, even if he didn't care much for them.

As it turned out, Yao Chen didn't care at all; to him, the Cloud Mist Sect was nothing more than a fart.

He looked at Ya Fei and said, "I leave the auction of the pill to you."

"Rest assured, Mr. Yao. I will certainly fetch a sky-high price that will satisfy you; I will not let you down."

Ya Fei was well aware of how important a connection with a Dou Zong expert and a sixth-grade alchemist was.

It was absolutely incomparable to the small amount of profit to be made here.

Therefore, Ya Fei immediately added, "Mr. Yao, please rest assured. We will return the entire proceeds from the sale of this Sect-Breaking Pill to you without taking a single cent in commission. Our Miteer Auction House is very eager to be friends with you, Mr. Yao."

Yao Chen understood Ya Fei's intentions.

This woman was indeed a clever one.

Yao Chen did not refuse, and before he left the Miteer Auction House, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, the master and disciple, had just emerged from the VIP room and were intending to find Ya Fei.

They saw a figure in a black robe walk out of the Miteer Auction House, step into the void, and vanish into the horizon.

Yun Yun stepped forward quickly, looking at the figure that had just disappeared, and said with a look of astonishment.

"Was that the Dou Zong expert Nalan mentioned?"

"Indeed, to be able to walk upon the void without relying on Qi Wings—there is no doubt, he is a Dou Zong expert," Yun Yun exclaimed.

After suppressing the shock in her heart, and before Yun Yun could react further, Ya Fei spoke up.

"Sect Master Yun, I have already mentioned you to Mr. Yao, but he seems to have no interest in meeting you."

"However, Sect Master Yun, there is no need to rush back to the Cloud Mist Sect. Our Miteer Auction House has just received a sixth-grade pill from Mr. Yao to be sold: the Sect-Breaking Pill."

"It can help a Dou Huang expert break through and attain the Dou Zong realm."

"Therefore, I am certain that once this pill is auctioned, it will cause quite a stir within the Jia Ma Empire. Even you, Sect Master Yun, must be very interested, I presume? Why not stay and attend our auction, which begins in a few days?"

"What? A Sect-Breaking Pill? It helps a Dou Huang expert break through the barrier and enter the Dou Zong realm?"

Yun Yun's expression froze instantly, her face filled with astonishment.

As she marveled at the news, the shock in her heart began to churn.

This was a sixth-grade pill that could help a Dou Huang enter the Dou Zong realm.

Naturally, Yun Yun was very interested, so she nodded in agreement. Under Ya Fei's arrangements, accommodations were prepared for the master and disciple.

Inside the room, Nalan Yanran spoke slowly.

"Teacher, I originally thought that Mr. Yao simply didn't want to see me because I am a junior."

"But you are the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect and a Dou Huang expert. Given the influence and voice our Cloud Mist Sect has in the Jia Ma Empire, even if Mr. Yao is a Dou Zong, he should have given you some face and at least been willing to meet you..."

"I never expected that he wouldn't even grant an audience," Nalan Yanran said.

Yun Yun sighed. In truth, she was not surprised by this outcome.

After all, the other party possessed the strength of a Dou Zong and could refine a sixth-grade pill that allowed a Dou Huang to break through to the Dou Zong realm.

How could such a person look upon their small Cloud Mist Sect with any regard?

Perhaps within the Jia Ma Empire, the Cloud Mist Sect was powerful.

But when looking at the entire Dou Qi Continent, their Cloud Mist Sect was undoubtedly insignificant.

At that moment, Yun Yun wondered what kind of person Mr. Yao really was, and what his background might be.

A powerhouse like him could not possibly have come from a small place like Wutan City, and the Jia Ma Empire had no such figure either. Could he be an expert from elsewhere on the continent?

She had originally intended to strike up an acquaintance, yet the other party had completely ignored both her and the Cloud Mist Sect.

Although Yun Yun felt a bit dejected, her interest was immediately piqued at the thought that the Miteer Auction House would soon be auctioning a Rank 6 Sect-Breaking Pill.

No matter the cost, she had to win this Sect-Breaking Pill.

This was the key to allowing a Dou Huang to advance to the rank of Dou Zong.

Ya Fei looked at the Sect-Breaking Pill in her hands with extreme care and caution, immediately notifying the Miteer Family so they could attend the upcoming auction.

The news that a Sect-Breaking Pill had appeared in the Jia Ma Empire caused quite a stir within the empire just a few days later.

Even the neighboring Chuyun Empire caught wind of the rumors.

Many experts from other empires across the continent set out for the Jia Ma Empire to participate in the auction.

Yet, no one expected that such a precious Sect-Breaking Pill would actually be auctioned in a small place like Wutan City.

Many experts were quite curious about the relationship between Ya Fei of the Miteer Auction House and Mr. Yao, wondering how she had managed to obtain such a precious pill for auction.

There were still a few days left until the official auction.

Yao Chen looked at the system panel, where a few lines of text were displayed.
