Old Friends Reunited

Mittel Auction House.

"Sister Ya Fei, you've been promoted?" Xiao Yan sat in his seat, looking at the alluring woman in front of him with interest, and asked with some curiosity.

These were all acquaintances from Wutan City, and Xiao Yan was very happy to see them again.

"Hehe~" Ya Fei stared directly at Xiao Yan with her alluring eyes, covering her mouth and chuckling softly.

"How can this compare to you, Brother Xiao Yan! I owe my position entirely to the help of your Xiao Clan!"

Since the Xiao Clan prospered, Mittel Auction House in Wutan City has become a lucrative job, with almost everyone who goes there achieving great success.

And business geniuses like Ya Fei were even more so, generating huge profits for the Mittel Family, so they were quickly promoted and went straight to headquarters.

"Sister Ya Fei is joking."

Xiao Yan didn't say anything. He had experienced the other party's methods before, so he naturally knew how powerful this woman in front of him, who was practically an ordinary person, was.

Even without the Xiao Clan, it was only a matter of time before the other party turned the tables.

"So, what does Brother Xiao Yan intend to buy at my Mittel Auction House this time?" Ya Fei knew that he was probably here to buy something, so she didn't want to waste any more time.

However, she added, "Brother Xiao Yan shouldn't have too high hopes. The items in my Mittel Auction House are not comparable to the Xiao Clan of the Xiao Yan family, and they may not even meet your standards!"

Ya Fei, an old friend, was well aware of the quality of the Xiao Clan's products, such as pills and weapons, so she didn't boast about it too much.

Since the other party had flattered the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan couldn't be ungrateful. He smiled and said:

"Sister Ya Fei, you're joking. The Mittel Auction House is renowned throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire. I'm just a young upstart, why would I have so many problems?"

"Then thank you for your praise, Brother Xiao Yan," Ya Fei said with a smile, her charming demeanor making Xiao Yan momentarily lose control.

"I've come to the Mittel Auction House this time hoping to purchase these items," Xiao Yan said, handing Ya Fei a shopping list he had already prepared.

The latter took it and glanced at it briefly before his pupils suddenly widened. He couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yan, who was quietly drinking tea in his seat, and said with some surprise:

"Brother Xiao Yan, these things you want are not cheap! Moreover, many of them are not even kept in the warehouse of my Mittel Auction House."

"What?" Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise, "The Mittel Auction House, as the top Auction House in the Jia Ma Empire, doesn't even have it?"

Ya Fei's lips trembled slightly. If she didn't know that Xiao Yan wasn't that kind of person, she would have suspected that the little guy was subtly Mittel Auction House.

She could only helplessly explain:

"Brother Xiao Yan, the things you want are not only precious, but also numerous. Our Auction House doesn't usually keep such a large quantity of resources in stock!"

"How much does the Mittel Auction House actually have?" Xiao Yan didn't want to embarrass Ya Fei, he just asked how much she could get.

Ya Fei was clearly very knowledgeable about this, and she provided the answer in just fifteen minutes.

"Brother Xiao Yan, our Auction House does indeed have the Tier 4 Medicine Cauldron you requested, but it is an auction item, and you will have to bid for it yourself at the auction in three days."

Xiao Yan frowned. He didn't want to waste time here, so he asked, "Can you sell it to me directly? I can raise the price!"

His words reeked of money; Xiao Yan was now incredibly wealthy, buying things without batting an eye.

At this moment, Ya Fei showed a helpless expression, "The auction item is already on the auction list and cannot be changed."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt relieved. "Then where are the medicinal herbs I requested?"

These medicinal herbs are of utmost importance. You must understand that he is determined to break through to the Tier 4 Intermediate in order to prepare for this Alchemist Grand Meeting. Without medicinal herbs to practice with, how can he possibly refine pills?

Ya Fei looked slightly embarrassed.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I can only give you half the amount of medicinal herbs you requested. Any more than that, and I will be unable to provide them."

If it were low-grade medicinal herbs, it wouldn't be so difficult; it would take some time to gather them all. But Xiao Yan specifically requested third- or fourth-grade medicinal herbs, which are considered quite good quality in the Auction House, and their stock is limited.

Moreover, the Auction House's medicinal resources cannot be entirely supplied to one person; Ya Fei did this out of consideration for their friendship.

"Hmm..." Xiao Yan lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally could only nod slowly, "Then Ya Fei, Sister Yafei."

He could accept half, it would just increase his chances of winning.

"And as for the treasures you mentioned, Brother Xiao Yan, that enhance Soul Strength, my Mittel Auction House truly doesn't have any." Just as Xiao Yan was feeling somewhat disappointed, Ya Fei changed the subject.

"But we have information on this."

"Oh?" Xiao Yan immediately perked up. "What news?"

Elder Yao urgently needs a large number of treasures to restore his Soul Strength, and Xiao Yan is willing to pay any price for this.

Ya Fei then subtly showed a hint of unease. "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Of course!" Xiao Yan was already quite impatient.

"The Nalan Family is currently inviting Alchemist to detoxify Old Master Nalan, and the price is a Seven Illusions Cyan Spirit Saliva, a treasure that can enhance Soul Strength," Ya Fei said slowly.

As soon as the former finished speaking, Xiao Yan's expression darkened. "The Nalan Family!"

"Branding Poison?" Xiao Wu said with some surprise, "I didn't expect that Lion Heart Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire would be so tough, able to withstand the Branding Poison for so long."

With Xiao Wu's cultivation level, he could not hide most things from the Jia Ma Empire.

As soon as he entered the city, Xiao Wu heard two widely circulated pieces of news. One of them was the Alchemist Grand Meeting, which was to be held in a month.

Secondly, the pillar of the Nalan Family Nalan Jie, Branding Poison several years ago and is now nearing death. The Nalan Family is currently searching extensively for information about Alchemist.

Even in Central Plains, the Branding Poison, a stubborn toxin that clings to bones like a maggot, is something that makes many people turn pale at the mere mention of it.

Nalan Jie actually managed to suppress it for so many years by relying on his own cultivation, which is worthy of his title of "Lion Heart Marshal".

As he spoke, Xiao Wu turned his gaze to Xian'er, who had been silent to the side, and asked with a smile, "Xian'er, why don't you try going to the Nalan Family?"

It's just Exotic Fire! His Xian'er has one too!

However, her Netherworld Poison Flame is somewhat deadly; if she were to use it to expel the Netherworld Poison Flame, it would only hasten the other party's death.

"No interest!" Xian'er shook her head. A mere Branding Poison might be a big problem for others, requiring the use of Exotic Fire.

But she's a seasoned expert in poisons. It's just the poison of Tier 5 Magical Beast; her poison can even kill a true Dou Zun expert.

This bit of poison can be easily neutralized!

However, as I said before, Xian'er has no obligation to detoxify others, nor is she interested in the Seven Illusions Cyan Spirit Saliva. Let others do this kind of thing.
