"This is..."
Ya Fei and Gu Ni looked at the jade bottles floating in the air, a trace of confusion on their faces.
They did not quite understand what Xiao Yan meant.
"This is called Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. It was refined by an elder of my sect."
"It can greatly increase the cultivation speed of anyone below the Dou Shi level."
"In terms of grade, it should rank as third-grade."
"I don't have any gold coins on me, so I'll use this in exchange!"
"If it isn't enough, please bear with me. I'll bring you some more next time."
"If it's worth more, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Just accept it. I might come here for more things in the future, so consider it money I've deposited with you in advance."
Xiao Yan spoke with a faint smile.
Ya Fei and Gu Ni had originally intended to refuse him.
But after hearing the effects of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, the words on the tips of their tongues would no longer come out.
It could greatly increase the cultivation speed of anyone below the Dou Shi level.
This was something no faction could refuse.
After all, the younger someone was, the easier it was to lay their foundation.
If your strength far surpassed that of your peers, you would naturally receive plentiful resources and enjoy better treatment.
"Lord Lin Dong, may I examine this Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid?"
Gu Ni asked tentatively, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Of course."
Xiao Yan nodded. Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was of little use to him.
But giving it away was an easy way to earn favors.
After all, everyone had younger generations to look after. Even if they did not now, they certainly would in the future.
Naturally, they would not mind setting aside some of this foundation-building liquid in advance.
"This... this is probably already close to the level of a fourth-grade pill."
"And its medicinal properties are quite gentle. Even someone at the Dou Qi stage could fully absorb the energy within it."
Gu Ni examined the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid in the five bottles, growing increasingly excited.
In his judgment, refining Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid of this quality would require at least a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, perhaps even a Fifth-Grade Alchemist.
"It's actually close to fourth-grade, and even someone at the Dou Qi stage can use it?"
Ya Fei covered her small mouth with her delicate hand in surprise.
Close to fourth-grade?
As expected of something made by an Emperor-Grade Alchemist.
Xiao Yan marveled inwardly.
The Medicine Emperor had only told him that this Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was roughly third-grade.
He had not expected it to be so close to fourth-grade.
"Lord Lin Dong, this is no place for a conversation. Please follow me!"
As she spoke, Ya Fei led Xiao Yan into a VIP room.
The patriarch of the Mittel Family, Mittel Tengshan, was also in the room.
"Oh?"
"Ya Fei, could this young friend be the Dou Wang expert you mentioned?"
Seeing the door open and Ya Fei and the others enter, Mittel Tengshan asked slowly.
"Grandfather, allow me to introduce him. This is Lord Lin Dong of the Dao Sect."
"This is the patriarch of our Mittel Family, Mittel Tengshan. He is a Dou Wang expert."
Ya Fei nodded lightly and introduced them to each other.
"Young friend Lin Dong, I've long heard of your great name. It is truly an honor to meet you today."
Mittel Tengshan rose and cupped his hands toward Xiao Yan.
"You're too kind, Patriarch Tengshan. I should be thanking you for your generosity in overlooking my earlier discourtesy."
Xiao Yan likewise cupped his hands toward Mittel Tengshan.
"Haha, they were merely a few medicinal ingredients and magic cores. If you need them, young friend Lin Dong, the Mittel Family would gladly continue supplying you."
Mittel Tengshan spoke with a hearty laugh.
Yet as he spoke, a trace of gravity flashed deep within his eyes.
This young man was even stronger than he had imagined. Even he could not see through his cultivation.
It seemed he was at least an expert above the Five-Star Dou Wang level.
With a Five-Star Dou Wang this young, the Dao Sect behind him was probably a colossus even more terrifying than the Misty Cloud Sect.
At this thought, Mittel Tengshan became even more eager to befriend the young Dou Wang.
"Our Dao Sect would also be open to establishing a partnership with the Mittel Family."
Xiao Yan nodded with a smile.
The Mittel Family wielded considerable influence in the Jia Ma Empire.
Establishing ties with them could only benefit him.
"That couldn't be better!"
"Young friend, why not stay here and watch the auction with me?"
"To tell you the truth, the sole reason I came here to hold this auction was to meet you and make your acquaintance."
Mittel Tengshan extended his invitation warmly.
"With such a gracious invitation from you, Patriarch Tengshan, I certainly won't refuse."
Xiao Yan also wanted to see what direction this auction, which had never originally occurred, would take the plot.
"Good!"
"Ya Fei, go and host the auction!"
Mittel Tengshan waved a hand toward Ya Fei.
At his words, Ya Fei nodded lightly. Then she briefly explained the matter of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid to Mittel Tengshan before leaving the room.
Gu Ni naturally left with her, giving Mittel Tengshan and Xiao Yan some privacy.
"Young friend, do you have any more of this Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid?"
Holding a bottle of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, Mittel Tengshan looked toward Xiao Yan and asked.
"Our Dao Sect's disciples use this Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid during their early cultivation, so the sect naturally keeps a supply. However, I don't have any extra with me."
Xiao Yan spoke with a smile.
Mittel Tengshan's eyes brightened slightly at this. If that was the case, perhaps they could establish a long-term partnership.
The Mittel Family would gain a large contingent of lower- and middle-tier experts as a result.
"From what you've said, young friend, I would rather like to visit your sect."
Mittel Tengshan made the suggestion tentatively.
He could not bluntly ask where the Dao Sect was located, so he could only sound him out in this roundabout fashion.
"Our Dao Sect is a secluded sect. No outsiders can enter; only our disciples are permitted inside."
"Normally, we do not venture out either. This time, I left to hunt down a traitor to the sect, which brought me all the way to the Jia Ma Empire."
"But I never expected that traitor's strength to be unfathomable. He even injured an elder of our sect."
Xiao Yan spun his tale off the top of his head.
In any case, this was merely an identity he had casually fabricated. Even if the whole thing fell apart, he had nothing to fear.
"Then may I ask where your sect's elder is now?"
"Why not invite him to recuperate at our Mittel Auction House and allow me to extend the hospitality of a host?"
Seeing an opportunity to earn a favor, Mittel Tengshan immediately spoke up.
