Ownership of the Cultivation Method, Shocking the Entire Audience!

At those words, Gale Bi's expression immediately froze.

The small hammer in Ya Fei's hand also hung suspended in midair.

Xiao Zhan, Oba Pa, and even everyone in the auction hall turned their gazes toward the source of the voice.

Sitting there was none other than Cousin Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei possessed tens of millions of Gold Coins. Spending a few hundred thousand to buy a High-Level Xuan Rank Cultivation Method did not pain him in the slightest.

Over the past decade or so, Xiao Zhan and most of the Xiao Family had treated him well. He could consider this repayment to the family, while also weakening their enemy's strength.

Besides, Xiao Lei did not care about such a small sum. Given the rate at which his strength was growing, it would not be long before Gold Coins became useless to him.

Under the gazes of the entire audience, Xiao Lei remained as steady as a mountain. He spread his hands and said, "What? Am I not allowed to bid?"

Gale Bi's eyes turned bloodshot as he glared viciously at Xiao Lei, looking as though he wanted to devour him alive.

"Six hundred thousand Gold Coins? Can a brat like you afford that? Bidding recklessly and disrupting the auction's order—are you provoking the Mite'er Family?"

Because Xiao Lei had crippled Galeo, Gale Bi wished he could tear Xiao Lei into a thousand pieces.

Now, just as he was about to successfully obtain that High-Level Xuan Rank Cultivation Method, Xiao Lei had stepped in to make trouble again. Gale Bi could barely restrain himself from attacking!

However, reason told Gale Bi that this was not the place to fight.

So Gale Bi deliberately tried to pin a grand accusation on him, hoping to place Xiao Lei and the Xiao Family in opposition to the Mite'er Family.

If he could truly provoke the Mite'er Family into attacking the Xiao Family, the Xiao Family would be utterly destroyed!

That would also soothe the hatred in his heart!

No one present was a fool. In an instant, they understood Gale Bi's intentions. Their expressions shifted as they inwardly exclaimed, What a schemer!

In a corner of the back row, Xiao Yan, shrouded beneath a black robe, heard Gale Bi's words and a cold glint flashed through his eyes. This Gale Bi truly deserved to die!

Xun'er raised her delicate little face and glanced at Gale Bi. A tiny wisp of golden flame suddenly surged within her beautiful autumn-water eyes...

Xiao Zhan naturally understood Gale Bi's intentions at once and loudly rebuked him.

"Who says Xiao Lei was bidding recklessly? He is bidding on behalf of my Xiao Family! Six hundred thousand Gold Coins is still something my Xiao Family can afford!"

Seeing Xiao Zhan immediately step forward to defend him, Xiao Lei felt deeply grateful.

Whether as an elder or as the Xiao Family's clan leader, Xiao Zhan was extremely competent!

The Xiao Family could indeed barely scrape together six hundred thousand Gold Coins, but after taking it out, they would likely be severely weakened.

On the auction stage, Ya Fei's eyes shifted, and a faint trace of mockery flashed through them. Gale Bi wanted to drag the Mite'er Family into this? His brain must have been flooded!

She pursed her lips, about to pick up where Xiao Zhan had left off.

"Clan Leader Gale certainly carries himself grandly. Anyone who didn't know better might think you were the Mite'er Family's clan leader," Xiao Lei said teasingly as he lifted his eyes to Gale Bi.

"You even want to make use of the Mite'er Family. Do you think everyone is like you, with a head full of shit?"

"Brat, you're courting death!" Hearing Xiao Lei's words, Gale Bi was instantly overcome with rage. He abruptly rose to his feet, Dou Qi surging within him as killing intent burst from his eyes.

Xiao Zhan stood as well, meeting him head-on. "If you want to fight, I'll accompany you to the end!"

This time, Oba Pa did not rashly speak up. He merely sat quietly to the side, looking like he was enjoying the show.

"Clan Leaders, if you wish to fight, please take it outside. The auction has not ended yet!"

Seeing that the two seemed about to come to blows, Ya Fei's seductive voice carried a rare hint of coldness.

"Hmph! I'd like to see whether your Xiao Family can continue operating after taking out six hundred thousand Gold Coins!" Gale Bi snorted coldly before unwillingly reining in his aura and sitting back down.

Xiao Zhan sneered. "You're actually worrying about the Xiao Family now? What, do you think you're the Xiao Family's clan leader again?"

"You!" Gale Bi became enraged, then simply closed his eyes. Out of sight, out of mind.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan also sat down again, though a trace of worry lingered deep in his eyes.

Gale Bi's words had been unpleasant, but they were true.

Seeing Xiao Zhan put his words to use so quickly, Xiao Lei could not help smiling. Then he looked at Ya Fei on the stage. "Miss Ya Fei, it seems no one is continuing to raise the bid. You can announce the result now, right?"

Ya Fei gave Xiao Lei a deep look, then lightly brought down the small hammer in her hand. "The Wind Scroll Technique has been successfully purchased by Young Master Xiao Lei!"

Xiao Zhan stood up at this moment and said somewhat apologetically, "Miss Ya Fei, could you give the Xiao Family some time? We will definitely deliver the six hundred thousand Gold Coins before the end of today."

"Clan Leader, there is no need for that. I have enough Gold Coins here," Xiao Lei said with a smile. He reached into his robes and took out a purple-gold card.

Five ripples of different colors shimmered across the card.

"Five-Pattern Purple-Gold Card!"

At the sight of the purple-gold card, cries of surprise instantly rang throughout the auction house!

On the Dou Qi Continent, one needed at least the strength of a Dou Ling to qualify for this identity-representing gold card, and the minimum deposit was one million Gold Coins.

Of course, certain transcendent factions also possessed such qualifications.

No one had expected Xiao Lei to possess a Five-Pattern Purple-Gold Card!

Oba Pa, who had been hoping to watch a good show, froze.

Hearing the cries of shock, Gale Bi abruptly opened his eyes. His bloodshot pupils were filled with disbelief!

After his initial astonishment, Xiao Zhan's face filled with delight.

Xiao Xun'er blinked as well, somewhat surprised. She had originally been preparing to pay for Xiao Lei.

"Tsk, it seems this Cousin Xiao Lei of yours has quite a few secrets," Yao Lao's voice sounded in Xiao Yan's heart as he stared intently in Xiao Lei's direction from the corner of the back row.

Xiao Yan pursed his lips but said nothing. These days, who did not have a secret or two?

Everyone in the auction house looked at Xiao Lei with curiosity, wondering how he had obtained the Five-Pattern Purple-Gold Card.

On the stage, Ya Fei's eyes rippled as she said sweetly, "Young Master Xiao Lei, you truly know how to hide your talents."

"I merely had the good fortune to encounter a few opportunities," Xiao Lei replied with a faint smile.

Ya Fei smiled charmingly, then publicly announced the end of the auction.

After an auction full of twists and turns came to an end, the people in the hall rose and departed, still wanting more.

Xiao Lei swiped his card to complete the transaction, then put away the Wind Scroll Technique and left the Mittel Auction House with Xun'er and Xiao Zhan.

After returning to the Xiao Family, Xiao Zhan said to Xiao Lei, "Come to think of it, I forgot to test your attribute. Come with me tomorrow and have it tested to see whether you can cultivate this method."

"Before testing your attribute, you must not cultivate recklessly, lest something unexpected happen."

Xiao Lei smiled. "There's no need. I took a powerful expert as my master, and he already tested me. I have the Thunder Attribute."

The excuse was cliché, but as long as it worked, that was enough.

Upon hearing Xiao Lei's words, Xiao Zhan and Xun'er both wore expressions of just as expected.

Xiao Zhan said, "Then why did you still buy the Wind Scroll Technique? It does not match your attribute."

"I plan to study it for reference, then hand this cultivation method over to the family. It can also add to the family's foundation," Xiao Lei said, shaking his head.

"Good child," Xiao Zhan praised, then added with some concern, "You have the Thunder Attribute, while this Wind Scroll Technique has the Wind Attribute. It would be troublesome if they conflicted."

"I'm only studying it for reference. I won't cultivate it," Xiao Lei said with a smile.

Xiao Zhan asked again, "Do you have a Thunder Attribute cultivation method? If not, I'll find a way to get one for you."

Xiao Lei smiled. "My master gave me a Thunder Attribute cultivation method."

"Alright, then be careful. You may only study it, and absolutely must not try cultivating it. I won't disturb you two any longer. If anything comes up, come find me promptly."

Xiao Zhan gave another reminder before turning and leaving.

"Oh, right, Xun'er. I have a gift for you," Xiao Lei suddenly recalled something after watching Xiao Zhan leave and said to Xun'er.

"What gift?" Xiao Xun'er blinked, looking somewhat expectant.
