The Miteer Au House was the rgest au house in Wu Tan City. It was also owned by the richest the Jia Ma Empire: the Miteer .

  Within the Jia Ma Empire, the Miteer was sed to none when it came to wealth.

  The Miteer , along with the Nan d the Mu , were known as the three rgest s. These three families had their hands in the ercial, military, and various other sectors of the empire. The amount of influehey wielded was immense.

  "Yan Er, how e you have the time to e to the au house with your father today?" Xiao Zhan arrived at the Miteer Au House apanied by several elders and Xiao Yan.

  Today, the au house had a prized item for bid: the High Xuan Qi Method, Hurrie t. Xiao Zhan absolutely could not allow this High Xuan Qi Method to fall into the hands of the Jia Lie or Ao Ba s.

  Currently, the highest-css Qi Method possessed by the three s was only a Mid-Level Xuan Css. Whoever acquired a High Xuan Css Qi Method could potentially raise their entire 's strength to a new level.

  Xiao Yan casually mentioned, "I found a mountain cave outside that was left by someone from the past. I found some items there that I pn to sell."

  His gaze swept across the opulent and spacious hall before he walked towards a room on the side. The door of the room bore three big characters that shone in a golden color: Treasure Iion Hall.

  Upoering, the room was somewhat empty, with only a middle-aged man sitting boredly at a table. The man's eyes opened as he looked up at the sound of the door opening. His face immediately ged when he saw that it was Xiao Yan, and he happily said, "Young Master Xiao Yan, are you here to i some treasures?"

  Xiao Yan replied with a smile, "I've e across some items and thought to sell them all at this au."

  He took out three bottles of Foundation Building Pill from his ste ring and pced them on the appraisal table.

  Xiao Yan had already refined a 2nd-tier medial pill a month ago. However, refining a 2nd-tier medial pill did not make one a 2nd-tier alchemist. One also o ensure a sistent success rate in order to be reized as a 2nd-tier alchemist.

  "What is this?" The middle-aged man blinked in fusion.

  The middle-aged man carefully picked up a white jade bottle and lightly s its opening. After a moment, his expression subtly ged. There was a hint of awe in his gaze as he looked back at Xiao Yan: "Young Master Xiao Yan, are you an alchemist?!!"

  However, after thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head. Xiao Yan was only fifteen years old; the entire Wu Tan City knew about his fifteenth birthday celebration.

  It would be time for the Xiao 's collective ing-of-age ceremony in ahree or four months.

  A fifteen-year-old with a high cultivation and also an alchemist? How could that be possible?

  Xiao Yan shook his head and expined, "This is something I discovered in a cave. It's called Foundation Building Pill. It increase the cultivation speed of Dou Qi. However, it's only effective for those below the Dou Practitioner realm."

  "Moreover, it has no side effects. The medial power is mild."

  Hiss! The appraiser took a deep breath.

  A 2nd-tier medial pill! This thing was not cheap at all!

  "Young Master Xiao Yan, please wait for a moment. I o invite Master Gu Ni from our au house to appraise this pill!" The starting price for a 2nd-tier medial pill was over ten thousand gold s. If it was as good as Xiao Yan had described it, then the price would be even higher.

  The price for three bottles could be as high as one huhousand gold s!

  After waiting in the room for a while, the middle-aged maurned with a green-robed elder with slightly whitened hair. He was Master Gu Ni.

  On Master Gu Ni's chest were not gold stars, but something resembling a medial cauldron with two silver lines on its surface that shoh a luster.

  This was the mark of a 2nd-tier Alchemist.

  Upon seeing Xiao Yan, even the usually proud Master Gu aside his airs as a 2nd-tier alchemist and greeted him with a smile, "Young Master Xiao Yan, it has been a long time. Allow me to do the evaluation."

  Given Xiao Yan's talent, it was iable that he would bee a Dou Spirit. The reason a 2nd-tier alchemist like him could walk sideways in Wu Tan City was simply because there were no Dou Spirits around.

  The ability of a 2nd-tier alchemist was not enough to tempt a Dou Spirit.

  After using some special instruments for iion, Master Gu Ni nodded and said. "In fact, it has reached the 2nd-tier medial pill just like Young Master Xiao Yan said. Currently, Ya Fei is presiding over the au. I will arrange for it to be included in the au right away."

  ...

  Xiao Yaered the au hall and took a seat o Xiao Zhan. At this moment, uhe tral spotlight of the au hall, a beautiful woman in a red gown was expining the funs of the item in her hands to everyone present with that charming and slightly seductive voice that made one's bones go numb.

  The chief aueer of the Miteer Au House: Ya Fei. She was aremely famous beauty in Wu Tan City. Her mature aive charm had caused mao fall uhe spell of her pomegranate-colored skirt.

  Xiao Yan had visited the au house several times before and couldn't help but admire Ya Fei. She was seductive by nature, a born entress.

  Upon seeing Ya Fei, Xiao Yan somehow uood King Zhou's predit.

  Who wouldn't want to have such a fox spirit by their side?

  TL/N: This is in refereo Daji, the favorite sort of King Zhou of Shang, who is usually portrayed as a malevolent fox spirit. She is sidered a cssic example of how a beautiful femme fatale cause the downfall of a dynasty in ese culture.

  "Hehe, everyohe au house has just received a new au item. I have a feeling that it will be of io everyone." After auing off the test item, Ya Fei suddenly paused and said aloud to the audience.

  She even wi Xiao Yan as if to thank him fing her a piece of business.

  Xiao Ya his posure aally recited Xun Er's o resist the entress' temptation.

  Xiao Zhan showed little i when he heard Ya Fei's introdu. The Foundation Building Pill ractically useless to him now that his son had already reached the Dou Practitioner realm. He had to save his gold s to pete for the Hurrie t.

  In the end, the Foundation Building Pills that Xiao Yan refined himself were sold for a total of 105,000 gold s. Xiao Yan was able to experience firsthand how lucrative being an alchemist could be. Materials that cost less than 10,000 gold s sold for ten times that amount!

  In the end, Xiao Zhan was the undisputed winner of the Hurrie t. The Jia Lie d the Ao Ba were left seething with frustration in the face of the wealthy Xiao Zhan.

  After leaving the au hall, Xiao Yauro the Treasure Iion Hall, where Master Gu Ni and Ya Fei were already waiting for him.

  The red-cd Ya Fei ughed lightly when she saw Xiao Yan arrive, "Little Brother Xiao Yan, how kind of you to visit your Elder Sister's au house."

  Ya Fei's pair of watery, slender, beautiful eyes stared directly at Xiao Yan as she walked with cat-like steps, swaying her waist as she approached him. The first time Xiao Yan saw Ya Fei, he even mistook her for a member of the Snake-People Tribe; her waist could twist even more than a snake's!

  Xiao Yan cursed inwardly, this fox spirit!

  "Sister Ya Fei is exceptionally talented. Entrusting the au to Sister Ya Fei is ihe best decision."

  Ya Fei took out a gold card and ha to Xiao Yan, bending slightly to approach him and whispering, "Little Brother Xiao Yan, how about introdug the alchemist who helped you refihe pill to Elder Sister?"

  Master Gu Ni had already discovered during the iion that the Foundation Building Pill was not obtained from a cave as Xiao Yan had cimed, because the pills were still very fresh.

  Xiao Ya a tingliion all over his body. If not for his strong will, the entress' whisper alone would have been enough to make any man submit.

  However, his face remained unged as he calmly accepted the gold card and smiled, "Sister Ya Fei, to be ho, I did the refining myself."

  Ya Fei giggled and covered her mouth, "Don't tease Elder Sister. You're only fifteen years old. Even Pill King Gu He was only an appre ye, not even a 1st-tier alchemist. How could you possibly refine a 2nd-tier medial pill?"

  Xiao Yan shrugged and put on an i expression as he said, "Since Sister Ya Fei doesn't believe me, there's nothing I do about it."

  Ya Fei used her index fio gently lift Xiao Yan's , log her eyes with his as she said, "If you are a 2nd-tier alchemist, I'll hand over the au house to you."
