Ya Fei's Shock, Rank 7 Alchemist?

Queen Medusa was undoubtedly one of the most formidable Dou Huang powerhouses in the Jia Ma Empire, ranking among the very best!

Yun Yun truly did not have enough confidence.

However, with the help of Pill King Gu He and two other Dou Wang powerhouses like Nalan Jie, combined with the influence of the Cloud Mist Sect, even if they dared not claim they could defeat Queen Medusa, they should at least be able to hold her off and seize the Exotic Fire without much trouble.

"Regardless of anything else, our goal this time is clear: we must seize the Exotic Fire and earn the high regard of Mr. Yao!"

"Exactly!"

"Since such a figure has appeared in the Jia Ma Empire, no matter what price we have to pay, we must foster a good relationship with Mr. Yao."

"Whether for the Cloud Mist Sect or our Nalan Family, it is a move with only benefits and no drawbacks."

"Therefore, I hope everyone will give it their all when the time comes!"

In Wutan City, at the Miteer Auction House, Ya Fei had not been idle these past few days.

From time to time, she would invite Yao Chen to the VIP suite of their Miteer Auction House to treat him well, even hiring several stunningly beautiful waitresses to serve him.

"Mr. Yao, thanks to the pills you have entrusted to our Miteer Auction House for sale over these past few times, our auction house, our Miteer Family, and even I, Ya Fei, have gained immense fame."

"All of this is thanks to you, Mr. Yao. I toast you with this drink! I hope we continue to have a pleasant cooperation in the future," Ya Fei said.

[New Task: Refine a Rank 7 Pill, help Ya Fei ascend to the position of the next head of the Miteer Family, and gain Ya Fei's favor. Reward: one Orange Treasure Chest. Do you accept the task? Please choose.]

Regarding the task that had just appeared on the System Panel, Yao Chen did not hesitate and immediately chose to accept it.

"System, I choose to accept the task!" After making his choice, the corners of Yao Chen's mouth slowly curled upward.

Refining a Rank 7 Pill was not exactly an easy task for Yao Chen.

After all, even at his peak, he could only refine Rank 8 Pills.

Now that he was in a soul-body state, he naturally could not compare to his prime, and there might be some risk of failure in refining a Rank 7 Pill.

However, he believed that with his soul power and his current state, refining a Rank 7 Pill should not be a major problem.

Sitting in the VIP room, Ya Fei was dressed in a sexy red cheongsam.

She sat on a chair, revealing her slender legs, and looked at Yao Chen, saying, "Mr. Yao, I wonder what kind of pills you intend to sell to our Miteer Auction House next?"

"Is it still a Sixth-grade Pill?"

Ya Fei was full of anticipation; a single Sixth-grade Sect-Breaking Pill had already caused a sensation throughout the Jia Ma Empire.

If it were another Sixth-grade pill, who knew what kind of stir it would cause across the entire empire!

For instance, a Sixth-grade pill that could boost the strength of a Dou Huang would likely drive the several Dou Huang powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire into a frenzy!

"I do have a plan to refine a pill next and entrust it to your Miteer Auction House for sale," Yao Chen said, but he emphasized, "However, it is not a Sixth-grade pill."

"Not a Sixth-grade pill?" Ya Fei was slightly stunned, then looked at Yao Chen and asked, "Is it a Fifth-grade pill, then?"

Although the grade and rarity of a Fifth-grade pill were not as high as a Sixth-grade one, they were still excellent.

After all, Fifth-grade pills were not common street goods in the Jia Ma Empire; they were also quite precious.

But to her surprise, Yao Chen shook his head again. Ya Fei asked in confusion, "What, is it not a Fifth-grade pill either?"

"Could it be a Fourth-grade pill?"

"Well, a Fourth-grade pill might not be as precious as a Sixth or Fifth-grade one, but it is still very good..."

However, Yao Chen still shook his head. Ya Fei froze instantly. Was Yao Chen planning to refine a Rank 3 Pill for the Miteer Auction House?

Ya Fei suddenly felt a bit doubtful and suspicious of herself.

Was it because she hadn't performed well enough last time when Mr. Yao sold the Sect-Breaking Pill?

Was that why he was only handing over a Rank 3 Pill to their auction house this time instead of a Sixth-grade one?

Just as Ya Fei was about to say, "Mr. Yao, was there something I didn't do well enough last time when I auctioned the Sixth-grade pill for you, causing you some dissatisfaction..."

Before Ya Fei could finish her sentence, Yao Chen suddenly spoke up.

"Next, I might refine a Rank 7 pill to hand over to you for auction!"

"What, a Rank 7 pill?!!!!"

Hearing what Yao Chen had just said, Ya Fei's expression froze on the spot, and she was completely dumbfounded.

A Rank 7 pill!

My God!

Ya Fei thought she had misheard. That was a Rank 7 pill! The highest-grade alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire was only a Sixth-grade alchemist, namely Pill King Gu He.

A Rank 7 pill!

Could it be that Mr. Yao Chen's true rank is actually that of a Rank 7 Alchemist? That would be truly extraordinary!

A Rank 7 Alchemist is simply inconceivable!

Yao Chen observed the shock on Ya Fei's face and said slowly, "Don't get too excited just yet. While I do intend to refine a Rank 7 pill for your Miteer Auction House to put up for auction,"

"The medicinal ingredients for a Rank 7 pill are not easily found."

"If your Miteer Auction House cannot locate the ingredients I require for this refinement, I'm afraid... our cooperation this time will likely come to nothing."

"In that case, I would have no choice but to cooperate with another auction house," Yao Chen added.

"Rest assured, Mr. Yao, I will do everything in my power to gather the necessary ingredients!"

"Even if we cannot find them within the Jia Ma Empire, we will search in other nations, or anywhere else on the Dou Qi Continent."

"I will exhaust every means to find the ingredients you require!" Ya Fei said, trembling with excitement.

"Very well, I shall await your news. I will write out a list; see that you gather these materials," Yao Chen said. He then quickly scribbled down a list of medicinal ingredients and handed it to Ya Fei.

Half an hour later, Yao Chen departed from the VIP room of the Miteer Auction House and left the premises.

A short while later, he arrived at the back mountain of the Xiao Clan, where he spent the next seven days supervising Xiao Yan's training.

By now, Xiao Yan had advanced from a one-star Fighter to a two-star Fighter.

As soon as Xiao Yan's strength improved, a system panel appeared before Yao Chen's eyes as a reward!

[You, Elder Yao, have assisted your disciple Xiao Yan in increasing his strength by one star, advancing him to a two-star Fighter. You have received a random reward: one Black Treasure Chest.]
