Ten Million Gold Coins, Auction House Turmoil!

The Mittel Auction House was the largest auction venue in Wu Tan City, and it also belonged to the Mite'er Family, the wealthiest family in the Jia Ma Empire.

Within the Jia Ma Empire, aside from the imperial family, the three great families held the highest standing, and the Mite'er Family was one of them.

When it came to wealth, the Mite'er Family was undoubtedly second to none. Even the empire's other two great families could not compare to it.

The Mite'er Family had a long history, having developed in the Jia Ma Empire for several centuries. Its connections were extraordinarily intricate, and it seemingly had countless ties to the Jia Ma Empire's imperial family as well.

Thus, with the Mite'er Family's powerful backing, no one dared set their sights on the auction house, no matter how coveted its profits were.

"Welcome, Young Master Xiao Lei and Miss Xiao Xun'er!"

Xiao Lei and Xiao Xun'er were both well-known figures in Wu Tan City. In particular, the matter of Xiao Lei crippling Galeo two months ago had spread throughout the city.

Upon seeing the two arrive, the guards at the entrance hurriedly greeted them respectfully.

"Xiao Lei, Xun'er, why didn't you wait for me if you were coming to the auction house?"

Just as Xiao Lei and Xun'er were about to enter the auction house, a deep voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

Following the voice, Xiao Lei saw Xiao Zhan, the Xiao Clan's leader, striding toward them.

"Greetings, Clan Leader!" Xiao Lei clasped his fists slightly when he saw Xiao Zhan arrive.

"Uncle Xiao!" Xun'er followed with a greeting of her own.

Xiao Zhan gave them a slight nod. "Let's go in together."

At that moment, a beautiful woman in a red gown, with a graceful and alluring figure, approached them from the auction house entrance.

"Clan Leader Xiao's presence truly brings honor to the Mittel Auction House," the woman said in a soft, seductive voice, a faint smile on her face.

Xiao Zhan immediately laughed. "Miss Ya Fei, you flatter me."

This woman was none other than Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House.

As the leader of the Xiao Clan, one of the three great families, Xiao Zhan knew that Ya Fei was the one truly in charge of the Mittel Auction House in Wu Tan City.

Although she had the Mite'er Family behind her, Ya Fei did not put on airs as the auction house's manager. Upon learning that Xiao Zhan had arrived, she had personally come out to welcome him.

Of course, in all of Wu Tan City, only the leaders of the three great families were worthy of Ya Fei personally receiving them.

Ya Fei smiled, then looked at Xiao Lei and Xiao Xun'er. "These two must be Young Master Xiao Lei and Miss Xiao Xun'er, whose names have spread far and wide throughout Wu Tan City?"

"You praise us too highly, Miss Ya Fei," Xiao Lei said with a slight smile.

Xiao Xun'er merely nodded with a smile and said nothing.

"Please, all three of you." Ya Fei parted her red lips and gestured invitingly.

Xiao Zhan nodded slightly and took the lead into the auction house.

Xiao Lei and Xun'er followed closely behind.

As he passed Ya Fei's side, Xiao Lei's heart stirred. Pretending it was accidental, he reached out and brushed against her alluring body.

The next instant, the familiar voice of the system rang out in his mind once more.

Ding! You touched Ya Fei and obtained ten million Gold Coins! Note: Due to the large amount, this reward will be presented in the form of a gold card.

Hearing the system reward, Xiao Lei's heart stirred, but his expression remained unchanged as he gave Ya Fei an apologetic smile.

Ya Fei's eyes flickered, but she did not seem to mind.

Led by Ya Fei, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Lei, and Xiao Xun'er went directly to seats in the very front row of the auction house.

"Please wait a moment, the auction will begin shortly. Ya Fei will take her leave for now," Ya Fei said with a smile after leading the three to their seats.

"Miss Ya Fei, please go ahead and attend to your business," Xiao Zhan said.

Ya Fei nodded to the three, swayed her waist, and slowly departed.

Afterward, Ya Fei personally received Gale Bi, the leader of the Jia Lie Family, as well as Oba Pa, the leader of the Ao Ba Family.

Upon seeing Xiao Zhan, the three naturally exchanged a round of verbal sparring, which needed no further mention.

Gale Bi, the leader of the Jia Lie Family, looked at Xiao Lei with eyes filled with icy coldness.

If this had not been the wrong setting, and if Xiao Zhan had not been beside him, Gale Bi would likely have disregarded his status and attacked Xiao Lei directly.

Yet Xiao Lei remained as steady as a mountain, completely ignoring Gale Bi's gaze.

Not long after the three great powers of Wu Tan City had gathered, the auction officially began.

The auction house was enormous, easily capable of holding thousands of people.

At the center of the auction house stood a raised platform, where Ya Fei, dressed in a red gown, was serving as the auctioneer.

Not only was Ya Fei alluring in appearance, but her voice was so seductive that it made one's bones feel weak.

Amid Ya Fei's crisp, soft, and coquettish voice, one ordinary item after another was driven up in price at an astonishingly heated pace.

Xiao Lei casually glanced around, but he had no interest in any of the auction items. Nor did he stumble upon some hidden bargain like a conventional protagonist, which left him somewhat disappointed.

Not far from Xiao Lei, Xiao Zhan, Oba Pa, and Gale Bi—the three giants of Wu Tan City—also sat firmly in place without any intention of bidding, as though they were waiting for something.

Although the few people in the front row remained exceedingly calm, Ya Fei kept the atmosphere of the entire auction house at a fever pitch.

"Hehe, everyone, the auction house has just received a new auction item. I believe all of you will be interested in it."

After auctioning off the item in her hand, Ya Fei suddenly spoke with a smile. With a wave of her jade-like hand, an attendant hurriedly carried over a jade tray, upon which sat a small white jade bottle.

"This is a second-tier medicinal pill." As her slender jade hand carefully picked up the small bottle, Ya Fei's seductive voice caused the auction hall to fall briefly silent.

A moment later, a burst of clamor erupted.

On the Dou Qi Continent, the items most sought after by people were the various medicinal pills refined by alchemists.

In a small place like Wu Tan City, a second-tier medicinal pill was already extremely precious.

"This item is called Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. It is only effective for those below the Dou Zhe level. Soaking one's body in this spirit liquid while cultivating can increase the cultivation speed of those below Dou Zhe!"

As Ya Fei looked upon the bustling auction hall, a seductive smile appeared on her face. Her red lips parted, and her enticing voice slowly carried through the room.

"Hehe, if any of you wish for your descendants to become youthful geniuses, then don't miss this opportunity."

Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid?

Hearing that name, Xiao Lei's heart stirred slightly. He turned to look toward the back and, sure enough, spotted a figure entirely shrouded in a black robe in an inconspicuous corner at the rear of the auction house.

That figure was Xiao Yan, deliberately concealing his identity.

Xiao Lei casually glanced at him, then shifted his gaze back to the auction platform, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.

"Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid? It can actually increase the cultivation speed of Dou Qi? Miss Ya Fei, shouldn't people at that stage be unable to withstand the impact of medicinal pills?"

There were still a few people in the auction house who had not lost their senses to Ya Fei's charm. After a brief silence, someone spoke up to ask.

Ya Fei replied with a smile, "Rest assured, everyone. This spirit liquid has been personally appraised by Master Gu Ni of our auction house. It is second-tier in quality and will absolutely cause no problems."

Upon hearing Ya Fei's words, Xiao Zhan, seated beside Xiao Lei, suddenly became somewhat excited. Clearly, he had taken an interest in the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

"The starting price for the spirit liquid is eight thousand Gold Coins. Please place your bids!"

Ya Fei swept her gaze around the room and spoke with a smile.

"Eight thousand five hundred!"

The instant Ya Fei finished speaking, someone called out a bid.

Immediately afterward, more and more people joined the bidding.

In only a short while, the price of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid had already risen to fifteen thousand Gold Coins.

The bidding continued for a while longer before the voices finally began to die down. Gale Bi, seated beside Xiao Zhan, could not help but call out, "Twenty thousand!"

As soon as Gale Bi's voice fell, the venue fell silent.

Some people looked at the expressionless Gale Bi and could only sit back down in disappointment.

They did not possess the strength to contend with the Jia Lie Family.

"Hehe, Gale Bi, hasn't your son already advanced to Dou Zhe? Why are you still interested in this Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid?" Oba Pa, the leader of the Ao Ba Family, said with a false smile from not far away.

"Oba Pa, can't I buy it for my future grandson?" Gale Bi's expression turned cold as he retorted casually.

"Hehe, I heard your son's manhood was crippled. Can you still have a grandson?"

Oba Pa laughed, sweeping his gaze over Xiao Lei before deliberately adding fuel to the fire.

Whoosh!

Upon hearing Oba Pa's words, Gale Bi's face instantly turned livid. His fists clenched tightly, and an icy killing intent involuntarily seeped from his body!
