Stepping out of the room, Xiao Yan looked out. From his vantage point, he saw the entire city teeming with people, a dense mass of ants, all crowding towards the auction house.
Looking at the dense crowd in the city, Xiao Yan shook his head and sighed. Although these people knew that the Fusang Flower would appear at the auction, they seemed unaware that those without the ring were simply not allowed to enter the auction house. Although there were quite a few people in the city at the moment, this could not change the auction house's decision.
They were just a group of Half-Emperor; under the majesty of Dou Di powerhouse, these people would naturally retreat obediently.
In the face of absolute power, numbers have no bearing on anything.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan turned around and was about to head towards the auction house when Wu Gang's figure flew over from a distance and arrived in front of Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye.
"Hehe, young brother Xiao Yan, the auction is about to begin, and I've come to invite you in."
Upon approaching, Wu Gang smiled and cupped his hands in a fist salute to Xiao Yan, who returned the salute in kind, saying:
"Then thank you very much, Brother Wu Gang."
Although Xiao Yan wasn't particularly familiar with Wu Gang, he had a good impression of him and naturally spoke to him with much more politeness.
Let's go.
Wu Gang smiled and nodded, then gestured to Xiao Yan to invite him to join him. The two of them then stepped into the void and flew towards the auction house.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect that Brother Xiao Yan is actually a Fourth-Tier Alchemist. That's truly astonishing!"
During the journey, Wu Gang finally couldn't help but tell Xiao Yan about the scene he had witnessed a few days ago. He had to admit that even now, thinking about it, Wu Gang was still shocked. He never imagined that the young man beside him, who looked so young, would actually be a Fourth-Tier Alchemist.
If we only look at his cultivation level, being able to reach the Five-Star Dou Di at such a young age is indeed terrifying. However, there will never be a shortage of geniuses on this continent, and Xiao Yan is not the only one who can achieve such a level in cultivation. What is shocking is that while raising his cultivation level to the Five-Star Dou Di, Xiao Yan was also able to raise his Spiritual Strength to such a terrifying level.
If the former is somewhat understandable, then the latter is simply impossible.
"Hehe, actually I'm not a Fourth-Tier Alchemist. The reason I can refine fourth-tier pills is simply because I use pills as a substitute."
"Pills?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Gang's expression tightened slightly, and a chill ran through him.
Pills that can enhance Spiritual Strength do exist in this world, but in his memory, it seems that only the Blood Soul Pill is the most common one.
The Blood Soul Pill uses the soul of a living person as a medicinal ingredient. To refine the Blood Soul Pill, one must pay the price of a human life, making it extremely insidious and the most despised pill in the Medicine Realm. Moreover, the Blood Soul Pill Blood Soul Pill has severe side effects, and most people are unwilling to use it. However, if Xiao Yan is using the Blood Soul Pill, then it can only mean that Wu Gang has misjudged him.
"Hehe, Guild Master, don't overthink it. The pill I consumed is called the Spirit Ascension Pill, a fourth-tier pill that can enhance one's Spiritual Strength for a period of time. Although this is one of the methods, it is a feasible option for alchemists."
Seemingly sensing Wu Gang's suspicion, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said with a warm expression.
Upon hearing this, Wu Gang was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
"So it's a Spirit Ascension Pill, tsk tsk, I've heard that it's extremely rare. It's mostly used by alchemists and almost never ends up in the outside world. I never imagined that young friend Xiao Yan would be able to obtain such a pill. I'm truly envious."
With a smile and a compliment, the two of them didn't linger any longer and arrived at the auction house in no time. Unfortunately, the place was already surrounded by an endless stream of people, and if they tried to enter through the main entrance, no one would be able to get in.
However, Wu Gang, as the vice president, naturally had another method.
Led by Wu Gang, Xiao Yan and Wu Gang arrived directly at a special entrance that was only accessible to the upper echelons of the auction house. There were two guards here as well, but unlike elsewhere, these two guards were actually at the level of Two-Star Dou Di.
Using Two-Star Dou Di level expert to guard the gate—this is a feat that even the Formation Master Association probably couldn't accomplish.
Seeing this, even someone as composed as Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise. This auction house was truly extraordinary!
"Hehe, it's just to be on the safe side, and also to deter those unruly individuals, that's why we invited two Dou Di experts here."
Wu Gang smiled casually, but the expression on his face betrayed his true feelings.
As the two approached, the two Dou Di experts at the entrance immediately clasped their fists in salute. Unlike others, these two were genuine Dou Di experts, each with their own pride, so the auction house naturally didn't have too many requirements regarding etiquette.
With a smile, Xiao Yan and Wu Gang walked straight into the auction house.
Afterwards, as they watched Xiao Yan and Wu Gang's figures gradually disappear, the two looked at each other in surprise.
"Who is this kid? How come he can walk through this door with the vice president?"
"Yes, as far as I know, besides the two guild leaders, only four outsiders have ever entered this gate. And those few are all very famous figures in the Western Region. So who is this kid?"
The two men stared at each other, both of them unable to contain their astonishment. They were speechless for a moment, neither of them knowing who this mysterious young man in black robes was. They only knew that even the young master of that family, Qin Yun, had never walked through this door before them, yet this mysterious young man in black robes of unknown origin was receiving such treatment. It was clear that the latter was no ordinary person!
Meanwhile, somewhere outside the auction house, Qin Yun and Yan He, who was following behind him, slowly shifted their gazes away from the door. Although the young man beside him seemed calm, Yan He could feel an extremely cold chill emanating from him, a chill that even he could not withstand.
