"You recognize me?"
Upon hearing Sheng Dong's words, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and slowly replied.
"My lord, I was one of the people you rescued from the Pingshan Western Hollow during your battle with Qinhuang Lost Valley. Later, I helped you defeat Qinhuang Lost Valley, and that's how I came to know you."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Dong quickly recounted what had happened between him and Xiao Yan. Hearing this, the latter immediately understood. After that battle, Xiao Yan had distributed a lot of pills to them, so some of them had now reached the Origin Transformation Realm or above. Sheng Dong had also benefited quite a bit.
However, now that Sheng Dong's grandson has died at his hands, this matter is probably...
"So that's how it is. We really owe that battle to your help..."
Xiao Yan nodded and smiled.
"Uh... you're too kind, sir. It's only right that you saved us from this dire situation..."
"You're quite good, but your grandson is of questionable character and nearly harmed my friend. Luckily, I arrived in time today, otherwise it could have caused a major disaster. In that case, the Sheng Clan might..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sheng Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, his kneeling body quickly sank lower, and a look of terror appeared on his face. A few drops of cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly explained:
"What you say is true, sir. This is my grandson's own fault; he... deserves it. When Sheng Dong returns, he will certainly discipline his clansmen properly to prevent them from causing any more trouble!"
Despite his deep reluctance, Sheng Dong gritted his teeth and closed his eyes to say these words. What else could he do now? Xiao Yan had already used the Sheng Clan as a threat. If he dared to disobey again, then his family would be in danger!
Today, his grandson is dead, and that's it. There's no reason to seek revenge, and there's no justification for it. As he himself said, he brought it upon himself.
Afterwards, Sheng Dong dragged his nearly severely injured body away from Yan City. On the street, Sheng Dong's old face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and his pair of gloomy old eyes were filled with tears. His withered hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists, his heart filled with resentment and helplessness. On both sides of the street, countless people looked at this usually high and mighty patriarch of the Sheng Clan with surprise in their eyes. But the moment he stepped out of the city gate, his body suddenly trembled, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, almost falling to the ground.
Inside the Thousand Medicine Pavilion, Xiao Yan slowly put down his teacup, shook his head, sighed softly, and then leaped away, disappearing from Yan City.
Standing there, Jin Yao watched Xiao Yan's departing figure, her brows furrowing slightly. She gently stroked her black robe with her jade-like hand, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
After leaving Yan City, Xiao Yan continued westward, and several hours later, he arrived at Shahepu.
Shahepu is undoubtedly more prosperous than it was a few years ago. As the border between Western Lin Region and Western Wilderness Region, it witnesses the coming and going of countless people every day, and various rare treasures are constantly exchanged. At the same time, this is also where Lü Zhongtian is currently located.
Lü Zhongtian has auction houses scattered throughout the Western Region, and Shahepu, as his base, boasts the largest auction house here. Its prosperity is also unimaginable. Fourth-tier pills, Spirit Class Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, which were rarely seen in the past, frequently appear in Lü Zhongtian's auction houses. Sometimes, even fifth-tier pills appear. Those kinds of pills would make even some Origin King experts envious, let alone ordinary experts.
Today, Xiao Yan came to Shahepu to ask Lü Zhongtian to help him auction off his pills. All the pills to be auctioned were of grade five or higher. Most of these pills were obtained by Xiao Yan from his opponents' Storage Ring. Although some of the pills were extremely valuable, unfortunately, with Xiao Yan's current cultivation level and discerning eye, those pills were no longer worth his attention. Rather than storing them in his Storage Ring, it was better to auction them off.
A moment later, Xiao Yan appeared in front of the largest auction house in Shahepu. The magnificent scene was the most impressive auction house Xiao Yan had ever seen. This was where Lü Zhongtian was located. Although there were many barriers and even some formations deliberately blocking his way, Xiao Yan was still able to clearly sense Lü Zhongtian's location with his current Spiritual Strength. He smiled slightly and headed towards one of the entrances to the auction house.
After what happened before, this time, when Xiao Yan arrived at the door, his gaze unconsciously fell on the two burly figures standing upright at the entrance. After confirming that they were indeed people from the auction house, he chuckled to himself and prepared to step over them.
"Wait a minute!"
However, just as Xiao Yan Xiao Yan was about to step past the two men, they each took a step and blocked his way.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan frowned. He hadn't expected that entering an auction house would involve so much trouble.
"How?"
He frowned slightly, a hint of impatience in his eyes, but since this was Lü Zhongtian's territory, Xiao Yan restrained himself and slowly asked.
"Kid, you can enter my auction house, but you must have at least the cultivation level of the Origin Transformation Realm or higher, or have an item with an auction value equivalent to a fourth-tier pill. Otherwise, you'd better go back."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that Lü Zhongtian's requirements were so high. There weren't many experts above the Origin Transformation Realm in the Western Region, and he actually used that as a screening criterion, even making fourth-grade pills the minimum requirement.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He was about to adjust his internal Origin Qi, but then his gaze shifted, a sly glint flashing across his eyes. He raised his head, his gaze returning to the two burly men before him, and slowly smiled:
"Since that's the case, then I'll auction off the pills."
Upon hearing this, the two burly men were taken aback. Looking at the unassuming young man in black robes before them, they hesitated slightly before asking:
"Kid, you said you want to auction off fourth-tier pills?"
"Fourth-tier pills? No..."
Xiao Yan smiled, but the words he uttered instantly darkened the faces of the two men before him. Daring to toy with them here was not a wise choice. However, just as the two men were about to throw the black-robed youth away, Xiao Yan's next words caused their expressions to freeze.
"I only have fifth-tier pills in my possession."
