The Battle Through Heaven
Primary Auction House, Old Friend
"Damn. In the future, I will not sit on this broken thing. This slow speed actually caused people to feel unbearable. " After walking out of the densely packed Flying Transport Company, Hai Bo Dong breathed in a deep breath of fresh air as he cursed softly.
Seeing the ugly expression on Hai Bo Dong's face, Xiao Yan smiled and raised his head. His gaze swept over this majestic capital city and could not hold his breath with praise. With such a large size, this Jia Ma Sacred City definitely ranked first in terms of size among all the cities that Xiao Yan had seen.
"It truly deserves to be called the capital of the Jia Ma Empire, so domineering and unrivalled." Xiao Yan said with a smile as he clicked his tongue and let out a voice of admiration.
Hai Bo Dong was not interested in seeing this boring building. His gaze swept around him before he suddenly asked, "When are you heading to the Misty Cloud Sect?"
"Half a month from now." Xiao Yan mused and calculated the time for the Three Years Agreement before replying.
"More time? Then where are we going now? " Hearing this, Hai Bo Dong frowned and immediately asked in annoyance.
"Good! Let's go to the auction house in the capital to take a look. It was the largest place in the Jia Ma Empire to conduct business transactions. It should have some things we need. After that, we will travel to the headquarters of the Alchemist Association. " Xiao Yan stroked his chin and replied with a smile, "This Grand Meeting Alchemist session will be done there. I was thinking of taking a look around. Moreover, alchemists liked to gather all kinds of different precious medicinal ingredients. It is possible that we can find the medicinal ingredients needed for ‘Pil Purple Spiritual Recovery’ there. "
"Hee hee, that too. This Great Meeting of Alchemists was a rare and great event in the Jia Ma Empire. It was a pity to miss it "Hai Bo Dong did not oppose Xiao Yan's plan. He stroked his white beard, smiled and said with a hint of interest, "But it is worth it for you to see this Great Meeting of Alchemists. For an alchemist, not only does it allow you to interact with those who have the same occupation, but it also has rather incredible significance at the same time. As long as one was able to show his brilliance there, one's future would be truly immeasurable! "
"Each Grand Meeting Alchemist attracted the attention of many powerful forces. The alchemists who had good enough refining skills would become like hot bread to gain this power. Ck ckc. This type of treatment that alchemists received actually caused people to become so envious that they had the urge to kill. "
Hearing Hai Bo Dong's somewhat exaggerated words, Xiao Yan smiled but shook his head slightly. He said, "An alchemist is a special occupation that many people will pay attention to and look for no matter where they are. Although being bound by this great power allowed one to get quite good treatment, it somewhat restricted one's freedom and was not particularly valuable "
"useless? How could? You should know who Gu He is right? " Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Hai Bo Dong rolled his eyes, pursed his lips and said.
"Pill - King Gu He. There really was no one in the Jia Ma Empire who did not know him. " Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and chuckled. Not only did he know her, they had even fought against each other.
"He was the biggest dark horse in the Grand Meeting Alchemist two sessions ago. Before, not many people knew of Gu He's name. Ever since he revealed his brilliance at the Grand Meeting, he had attracted the attention of the previous leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. Afterwards, he was invited to become an elder of the Misty Cloud Sect. Back then, Gu He was only a tier four alchemist. However, during these few years, with the great wealth of the Misty Cloud Sect behind him, his refining ability had increased by two tiers. Moreover, his reputation had also changed from not being too famous, to being the current Pill-King that everyone respected. " Hi Bo Dong laughed, "Therefore, if not for the Misty Cloud Sect, he would have at least twenty more years before achieving the recognition he achieved this time."
Xiao Yan's brows twitched somewhat in surprise. He had not expected that Gu He had actually appeared this way.
"An alchemist is indeed a rare occupation. However, it is also a job that costs a lot of money. Even though one's refining ability depended heavily on talent, if one did not have a never-ending supply of medicinal ingredients to support it, one would, it would be extremely difficult to quickly increase one's refining abilities and tiers regardless of how great his talent was. However, if behind him was a great power capable of supporting him by providing endless medicinal ingredients, it was, they will be able to stay relaxed and save the time needed to run around to find medicinal ingredients. Under such concentration, the achievements one could obtain would naturally be slightly richer than those free alchemists. Therefore, there were also many alchemists who wanted to find financial backers who would let them squander money in this Great Meeting of Alchemists. " As the two of them slowly walked down the street where people came and went, Hai Bo Dong spoke lazily with his hands inserted into his sleeves.
"Maybe that's the problem. But I'm not interested in that kind of thing at all. " Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders. With Yao Lao, this extremely experienced teacher guiding him by the side, there would undoubtedly be very few detours that Xiao Yan would make. Hence, he was able to become a young tier two alchemist from a young man who did not know medicinal herbs in just three years ago. It was also for this reason that he was not clear how difficult it was for ordinary free alchemists to quickly improve their abilities. After all, not everyone was as lucky as him.
"Of course, with your refining skills, no one in the entire Jia Ma Empire, including the Misty Cloud Sect has the qualifications to hire you." Hai Bo Dong shook his head and laughed. Forget about the Jia Ma Empire, a high-level alchemist who could refine a tier six medicinal pill would also hold up extremely well even in the Dou Qi continent.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly but did not immediately reply. Excluding the Yao Lao factor, his own tier was only a tier two alchemist. Of course, after a year of hard training in the desert, he currently who possessed the ‘Fire Green Lotus Core’ had the belief that his refining ability would not be worse than a tier three alchemist. However, he was also clear that even a true tier three alchemist would still have little interest in a Dou Huang like Hai Bo Dong.
The only reason why Hai Bo Dong would continue to stay around Xiao Yan and willingly lower his status to a bodyguard was because he assumed that Xiao Yan was able to refine a tier six medicinal pill. Therefore, he hardened his heart and agreed to protect the safety of Xiao Yan in the Misty Cloud Sect.
If Hai Bo Dong learned about the truth in the future and Yao Lao had not woken up, it would be a small matter if he just left angrily. If he were to take things too hard, he might forcefully force Xiao Yan to return the mysterious map piece. After all, their collaboration is usually built on the prerequisite that both sides have equal power. Xiao Yan, as a Dou Shi and a tier two alchemist, clearly did not have the qualifications to cooperate with a Dou Huang.
"Ah, it seems like the problem of waking up Master needs to be done quickly. Otherwise, after Hai Bo Dong collects all the medicinal ingredients, how can I refine that tier five medicinal pill? " Xiao Yan sighed in his heart. He suddenly realized that without Yao Lao by his side, he was in a fragile state at the moment actually facing restrictions everywhere.
After all, the powerful people Xiao Yan contacted all possessed strength that far surpassed one's ability to make contact with him. Who would have imagined that a Dou Shi could actually swarm boldly on a Dou Huangs plane?
If it was anyone else, trying to get a foreigner Dou Huang to follow him as a mere bodyguard with the strength of a Dou Shi was undoubtedly a strange thought. However, Xiao Yan who had the help of Yao Lao was able to overcome this loss and lead the contact with these extremely strong people. However, it was also for this reason that Xiao Yan, whose original strength was not very strong, should always be very careful when facing these extremely strong people. Moreover, he needed to act calmly forcefully as he dealt with them, not daring to reveal even the slightest thing that would make him leave.
"Ah, strength. As long as I can reach the Dou Wang class, I think I should be able to follow Yao Lao's footsteps. When the time comes, I don't need to do things that exploit the power of others. " Xiao Yan laughed bitterly and softly muttered in his heart. Hai Bo Dong's laughing voice, however, suddenly broke Xiao Yan's musing.
"Hey, we've arrived at the auction house!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's footsteps slowly came to a halt. He raised his head and stared at the large building and the special symbol that appeared at the end of the road. Surprise involuntarily surfaced on his face as he shook his head and sighed, "It really deserves to be called the headquarters of the Primer Clan (owner of the Primer Auction House). The size of the building was really something that could not compare to the branches in Wu Tan City. "
"Hee hee, the Primer clan is one of the three great clans of the Jia Ma Empire. It has a long history and a strong foundation. Even the Mo clan from Yan City was undoubtedly just a clan that was suddenly rich but disrespectful when compared to them. " Hi Bo Dong said with a smile. His words underestimated the Mo clan that wanted to dominate the northeastern region of the empire. The strongest person in the clan was only of the Dou Ling class. With just such strength, they still wanted to try to dominate in vain? They were truly exaggerating their strength. If not for the Misty Cloud Sect supporting them, the Mo clan would have long been secretly destroyed by some powerful people who disliked them.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded his head. He looked at the huge building that was like a bottomless pit, swallowing the unceasing flow of people. His hand was gently inserted into his sleeve as he turned his head and softly said to Hai Bo Dong, "Come inside and see what the number one auction house of the Jia Ma Empire is called and see how amazing it is. Hopefully, we can find the things we need. "
As soon as he said those words, Xiao Yan led the way as they slowly walked to the end of the wide road paved by bluestone. Behind him, Hai Bo Dong followed closely.
As they gradually walked into the large Primer Auction House, the shock on Xiao Yan's face also grew richer. His body was like a fish swimming under the pressure of human currents as he passed by.
Xiao Yan was expressionless as he passed through the crowd. Every now and then, he waved his sleeve. The skinny Dou Qi would immediately cover his soft arm and was ruthlessly thrown into the hands of surprise among the human crowd that strangely reached towards the storage ring in his hand.
Every time he waved his sleeve, a blood red color would suddenly appear in those people's hands.
Xiao Yan indifferently glanced at the people who were hugging their hands and painfully inhaled a breath of cold air. A cold smile lifted at the corner of his mouth. This kind of trick was a common sight for him when he was managing his clan market in Wu Tan City.
Ignoring the slight attention on this housefly, Xiao Yan shook his body slightly and finally passed through the densely packed door. Under the watchful eye of the eagle that was as creepy as the gazes of the guards at the main entrance, he calmly walked in.
As soon as he entered the auction house, a soft light was splashed onto him. The noise outside seemed to have become isolated at this moment. It was only a few meters away, but it was as if they were two worlds apart.
In the interior of the hall, fully armed guards with no expression could be seen everywhere. On the chests of these guards, they wore the Primer clan badge. Clearly, they were a power that was right below the Primer clan.
The moment Xiao Yan entered the hall, he could feel at least twenty sharp gazes sweeping through every part of his body before a sharp and sinister gaze was slowly withdrawn.
"It really lived to be one of the three great clans of the Jia Ma Empire. This luxurious manner was really not cheap "Xiao Yan sighed emotionally. He turned his head slightly back and looked at Hai Bo Dong who had followed him like a ghost before slowly walking into the middle of the hall.
There were countless crystal counters placed in the large hall. On one side of the counter, there was an unceasing flow of people. Countless rare items were placed at this counter. Below these items there is a label stating the price. However, all the prices of these items were at least thirty thousand gold coins. This expensive price is enough to make many people discouraged.
"This is an outside sales counter. The things sold here were not considered too valuable In the Primer clan headquarters, the auction area was also strictly divided into Tian, Di, Xuan and Huang classes like the Qi Method. Among them, the Tian class was the highest. However, the Tian class auction area was very rarely opened and sometimes only opened once every few years. However, when it opened, it showed that the thing that the Primer auction house would be auctioning off was definitely of a very high grade. When the time came, nearly half of the strong people and leaders of the different powers within the Jia Ma Empire would swarm Ah, I remember ever being present back then. Back then, the thing that the Primer Auction House had auctioned off seemed to be an egg from ‘Crocodile Scale Api’ ranked six. "
"According to rumors, it is said that if ‘Crocodile Scale Fire’ successfully hatched, it would be a naturally born Dou Wang. Moreover, if one were to raise him properly, sooner or later he would be able to enter the Dou Huang class … "
Hearing this, surprise flashed across Xiao Yan's face. Once the crocodile hatches, it will have the strength of a Dou Wang! How horrifying. Wasn't the person who managed to obtain it able to obtain a new competitor with the Ten Strong Jia Ma Empire in a short period of time?
"In-class auction areas are also rarely opened. Xuan classes are more common. As for Huang's class, it was opened every day. " Looking at Xiao Yan's slightly surprised expression, Hai Bo Dong smiled and continued the introduction. He had obviously been a frequent customer of this place in the past. Therefore, he can explain the rules clearly and logically here.
"This is rather interesting ..." This kind of class division caused Xiao Yan to smile and say with interest.
"If you want to enter the Tian, Di and Xuan class auction area, you should have some identification about your grades. Other than some extraordinary circumstances, if you wish to enter the Xuan class auction area, you should be worth at least a million gold coins. Ugh, right, do you have that kind of money? " It seems to have recalled something, Hai Bo Dong suddenly asked.
"Hmm, looks like I only have two to three hundred thousand." Xiao Yan rubbed his face and smiled awkwardly.
"… It seems like you only have the qualifications to enter the Huang class auction area." Hai Bo Dong rolled his eyes. He expected an alchemist of the Xiao Yan level to at least have to bring millions with him.
Regarding Hai Bo Dong's words, Xiao Yan could only shrug helplessly. He was about to say something when his gaze suddenly led to a corner of the hall.
That place was the entrance of the upper echelon of the Primer Auction House. Just a moment ago, the place was still deserted. Looking at this sudden commotion, it seemed that there was a large hero of quite a high status coming out from there.
Observing the disturbance of the crowd there, Xiao Yan hesitantly blinked his eyes. He tilted his head slightly and his gaze passed over the excited people who looked like male wolves that had suddenly become excited. After which, he faintly glanced at the somewhat red and opaquely colored beautiful soft figure.
Lowering his gaze, Xiao Yan looked at the pair of long, red-colored boots. The heel of the long boots was rather sharp as it gave off a clear and sweet sounding ‘click-klak’ sound wave, ‘click-klak’ sound on the surface of the ground is sparkling blue, like a beautiful musical note. His gaze was a little higher. A pair of beautiful long snow-white legs that were slightly eye-piercing appeared before him.
"His feet are not bad .." Xiao Yan evaluated them in his heart. However, with his mental strength, he was naturally a little better than the few men surrounding the large hall whose faces were filled with yearning. His face still showed a calm smile, his gaze carrying admiration. Gradually lifting her up a little, her gaze finally seeped through the gap and saw a dazzling and moving face. Immediately, shock slowly rose to his face as he softly muttered, "Why is he here?"
As the clear sound of footsteps moved closer, the beautiful woman surrounded by the crowd finally slowly walked out from it.
The woman was wearing a bright red tight dress. Elegant dresses are beautifully and meticulously made, precisely and perfectly outlining the curves of a beautiful woman's body. Beneath the dress was her dazzling snow-white long legs, causing people to feel a flame boost in their hearts. On a very narrow waist that could be hugged with one hand, there was a bundle of silver-colored belts that accentuated the narrow waist more clearly.
This woman exuded a pleasing charm from all over her body. Under the long gazes of those peach blossoms, one would subconsciously take the initiative to take out all the gold coins in his pocket to buy some expensive items he did not need.
For many men, he is an amazing creature. This female cat full of temptations all over her body captivated the hearts of many men.
Amidst the human crowd, the woman wearing a beautiful red dress walked towards the hall with elegant footsteps. Her somewhat shallow smile and pretty face contained an unknown meaning behind it. His large, ripe body was like an overripe honey peach where water seeped out, causing the bottom of some of the men in the hall to vaguely tend to lift. Immediately, there were a few embarrassed-faced people in the hall who were carefully pulling their bellies.
The enchanting beauty turned out to have a considerable popularity. Ever since he came out until now, there were people who repeatedly smiled and greeted him. Perhaps some of these greetings were aimed at her beauty, but most were clear due to their respect for her status.
Beautifully dressed women elegantly and calmly handled the surrounding customers. A shallow smile decided bored people who wanted to forcefully hit him. A pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to have been brewed by the spring water randomly swept through the hall. After a person made contact with a pair of eyes that seemed to contain this attractive attraction, their throat would involuntarily roll a little. Hot flames would ignite and appear on the inside of their eyes. From the looks of it, after these men returned home, they would imagine their wives or female servants in the house to be enchanting women filled with temptation.
Beautiful eyes of dazzling peach blossoms slowly swept through the hall. At the moment it was about to be withdrawn, its gaze suddenly stiffened. The walking footsteps also suddenly stopped. His gaze came to a halt at the side of the crystal table not far from the body of a black-clothed young man carrying a large black ruler on his back. Immediately, some disbelief appeared in those pretty eyes.
Being the focus of attention in the large hall, the actions of the beautiful-clothed woman undoubtedly caused everyone to take their eyes off. However, when they saw the delicate and handsome black-clothed young man, they also felt somewhat dazed. As they observed the extremely rare and strange emotions of the beautifully dressed lady, some jealousy towards the young man appeared in their hearts without them noticing.
Ignoring the sharp blade-like glare from around him, Xiao Yan smiled at the beautiful dressed woman who was staring at him blankly. Her smile was gentle and her dark pupils were as clear as a year and a half ago.
Seeing the same clear smile as before, the woman finally believed that this new Xiao Yan, who looked somewhat mature, was completely the same as the boy who was pretending to be mysterious.
Emitting the clear sound of footsteps, the beautiful-clothed woman slowly walked towards Xiao Yan. A moment later, he stopped in front of her. Being in such close contact, he realized that a boy who was only as tall as his chest could already look at him on an equal level.
"Xiao Yan di-di, after not seeing you for three years, it seems that you have completely changed. You have actually reached a point where I can barely recognize you. " As she smiled and looked at the gentle and handsome young man, the beautiful woman gently inhaled a breath of air. Her large chest under the cover of her beautiful dress stood out due to its round shape and was very alluring. She raised her pretty face and greeted him with a smile again.
"Ya Fei-jie also became more enchanting and moving. It is unfortunate that by leaving Wu Tan City, you have hurt the heart of who knows how many youths. " Xiao Yan gently smelled the faint alluring body scent that was emanating from in front of him. His mind suddenly recalled the dirty matter of himself seeing a group of people sitting in the last row and silently staring at him when he first entered the auction house back then. With a gentle laugh, she teased. TL: di-di means younger brother, jie means older sister
The beautiful woman in beautiful clothes in front of him was surprisingly the Main Auction from the Primer Auction House branch in Wu Tan City, Ya Fei.
"I have completed the mission of my clan that I have been on. Naturally, I need to go back to take over some things. However, it is really thanks to you that I can return. These years you never came back, so I didn't have a chance to say thank you. Since we met today, your sister will thank you here. " Ya Fei looked at the pair of crystal-clear dark black eyes three years ago. Being used to seeing eyes that hide desire and possession, he realized that he really liked this pair of clear eyes. He pursed his slender red lips, placed his hands behind him and leaned his body slightly forward as he faced Xiao Yan and spoke with a light smile.
With a corner between the two of them, this courteous act of gratitude by Ya Fei, which caused the pretty dress to be lowered down a bit, immediately produced a deep hemisphere and a striking snow-white, which would cause many people to go crazy, appearing in Xiao Yan's Sight. Instantly, one's face gradually became somewhat flushed.
