Earth-Tier Low-Grade Skill: Mystic Yellow Force (Third Update)

As time passed, the auction, which had drawn countless powerhouses to watch, officially began.

The auction hall was vast, capable of holding thousands of people. As the person with the highest status present, Xiao Ze sat quietly in VIP Room No. 1, waiting for the proceedings to commence.

The Mittel Auction House was excellent in every regard, save for one point that left him quite dissatisfied.

The soundproofing of the private rooms was far too poor.

With thousands of people gathered together, the overwhelming, chaotic noise greatly displeased him, as he had always preferred tranquility.

Fortunately, as the auction officially began, the ear-piercing clamor gradually ceased.

A beam of light descended, illuminating the very center of the auction stage.

The sound of rhythmic footsteps echoed, stirring the crowd into a restless frenzy. Amidst the covetous gazes of countless men, a blurred, graceful figure stepped out, swaying with every movement.

The first things to catch the eye were a pair of long red boots. The heels were slightly sharp, and as they struck the polished bluestone floor, they emitted a crisp, melodious chiming sound.

It was as if a string of beautiful musical notes were tugging at the most primal desires of everyone present.

As gazes traveled upward, the crowd beheld a pair of long, snow-white legs. Under the glow of the lights, the translucent skin seemed to shimmer, and the rounded curves were perfectly natural.

Further up, one could see perfect hips, a waist so slender it could be encircled by a hand, a chest that traced deep, alluring lines, and a face of perfect, enchanting beauty.

"Is this Ya Fei, the woman known as the 'Number One Succubus of the Dou Qi Continent'?"

"Seeing her today, the rumors are truly well-founded."

"She is truly bewitching to the extreme."

In the VIP room, Xiao Ze watched the stunning beauty below, and his heart, previously as calm as water, rippled slightly.

Her entire being exuded an alluring charm, especially those long, narrow peach-blossom eyes that tugged deeply at a man's heart, making him willing to empty his pockets of gold coins.

On the central stage of the auction hall, Ya Fei stood under the spotlight, clearly enjoying the gazes from all around. She wore a vibrant, tight-fitting red robe, a magnificently crafted garment that perfectly outlined her beautiful curves.

A silver sash was tied around her slender waist, accentuating her willow-like figure to the fullest.

"I welcome you all for traveling such great distances to attend this year's Mittel Auction."

"As the host for this auction, I, Ya Fei, would like to express my gratitude to you all."

"Now, without further ado, let us bring out the first item!"

The moment she spoke, her voice—seductive to the extreme—quickly spread throughout the entire auction house. Amidst the excited cheers of the crowd, she began the day's auction.

With a wave of her jade-like hand, an attendant hurriedly brought over a jade tray.

She lifted the red cloth covering the tray, revealing a small white jade bottle inside.

"The first item: the third-grade Spirit Recovery Pill!" As she picked up the white jade bottle with her delicate fingers, her crisp, intoxicating voice caused the entire hall to fall silent.

A moment later, a mountain-shaking roar of bidding erupted.

Many people exclaimed inwardly: a third-grade healing pill right from the start? This auction was truly worthy of its reputation; their trip was well worth it.

With just the first item, she had successfully captured everyone's attention.

"Spirit Recovery Pill? It's actually this pill?" Listening to Ya Fei's introduction, Xiao Ze felt a mix of amusement and helplessness. Was it really such a coincidence?

The pill he had used to help Xiao Yan heal his injuries was none other than a Spirit Recovery Pill.

"The Spirit Recovery Pill can not only restore Dou Qi but also heal injuries. It is considered a top-tier item among third-grade healing pills. Interested guests, please begin!"

"The starting bid is fifty thousand gold coins!"

Ya Fei held the jade bottle, her gaze sweeping across the room. Feeling the fiery eyes upon her, a smile immediately curled at the corners of her lips.

"Sixty thousand!" No sooner had she finished speaking than someone shouted a price.

"Seventy thousand!" Bids followed in quick succession.

"One hundred thousand!"

In just a few breaths, the price of the Spirit Recovery Pill had been bid up to one hundred thousand gold coins, and it was still climbing rapidly.

A third-grade pill could be considered precious, or it could be considered common.

What it was ultimately worth depended entirely on how desperately the people present needed it.

The bidding continued for a while, but once the price climbed to one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins, the number of bidders dropped significantly.

In the end, the Spirit Recovery Pill was purchased by an old man in a black robe for two hundred thousand gold coins.

The auction price was slightly higher than the standard, but still within a reasonable range.

"Next, let us bring out the second item: a Xuan-tier intermediate Dou Technique: Wind God Leg!"

"The starting bid is one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!"

As the first item concluded, the second item followed immediately after.

As precious items were placed upon the auction block one after another, it was officially announced that the auction had entered its main phase.

In just a short hour, Xiao Ze had witnessed millions of gold coins change hands.

Seeing the atmosphere of the auction becoming increasingly heated, Ya Fei began to strike while the iron was hot, preparing to push the event toward an even more explosive climax.

"Next, I present the tenth auction item!" With a wave of her jade hand, the lights on the high platform suddenly dimmed. A silver tray was slowly brought out, and upon it lay a primitive, earthy-yellow scroll.

The scroll emitted a pale yellow glow, appearing quite mysterious against the backdrop of the silver tray.

"Earth-tier Low-grade Technique: Mystic Yellow Force!"

Silence—

A deathly silence!

As the words "Earth-tier Low-grade Technique" left her lips, the auction house fell into a sudden, deathly stillness.

An Earth-tier technique?

This auction actually contained an Earth-tier technique?

Everyone gasped, their scorching gazes seemingly capable of melting ten-thousand-year-old ice; even the charming and alluring Ya Fei seemed to have been forgotten.

"An Earth-tier technique, is it?" Xiao Ze, sitting in the VIP room, revealed a look of keen interest. He scanned the room and discovered that everyone in the entire auction house had been captivated by this Earth-tier Low-grade technique.

Their eyes were burning with fervor, as if they would risk everything just to get their hands on it.

Even Xiao Zhan, like everyone else, stared at that yellow scroll with burning eyes.

An Earth-tier technique was a passport to becoming a first-rate power. If their Xiao Clan could win this technique, in time, they would surely be able to return to the ranks of the Gama Empire's first-rate powers and restore the prestige of the Imperial Capital Xiao Clan from years past.

"What a pity..." Xiao Zhan withdrew his gaze and let out a soft sigh.

He understood that with the Xiao Clan's current financial strength, they simply could not compete with the others.

It could only be said that this Earth-tier technique and their Xiao Clan were destined to miss each other!

Beyond the Xiao Clan, Xiao Ze also sensed over a dozen Dou Ling-level energy fluctuations within the auction house; it was clear that they, too, were eyeing this Earth-tier technique like tigers stalking their prey.

Xiao Ze's gaze swept over them one by one, eventually landing on a private box located on the floor below him.

In that lower-level box, he sensed three obscure and profound auras.

Although they could not compare to his own, they were far beyond what a Dou Ling could achieve.

"Dou Wangs, are they?"

"Interesting."

"I wonder what kind of treasure could attract three Dou Wangs."
