Suddenly, the au stage lit up uhe watchful eyes of tless spectators. Ya Fei, dressed iriking red gsam, gracefully stepped onto the stage. Every subtle movement she made captured the attention of the onlookers. The form-fitting attire that atuated her voluptuous figure immediately drew the fervent gaze of some individuals in the audience.

  Only Xiao Yu could match those long, slender legs.

  With just a smile and a few teasing jokes, Ya Fei effortlessly ighe atmosphere iire au hall. For young boys like Xiao Ning, it would only take a few sweet words from this natural-born entress to impulsively bid on useless items in a moment of infatuation.

  "Ya Fei is deeply grateful to everyone for taking the time out of their busy schedules to attend our Miteer Au House's quarterly au." Ya Fei's red lips parted slightly as she chuckled slightly before g her jade-like hands. One by one, beautiful young women carrying trays walked to the ter of the au stage and dispyed the au items.

  These items included treasures obtained by merary groups and major s in the wilderness near Wu Tan City, as well as goods that had been passed over in other branches of the Miteer Au House. There were even high-grade 2nd-tier medial pills that Master Gu Ni had personally refined.

  Evehree bottles of Foundation Building Pill that Xiao Yan had sold to Ya Fei some time ago were included in the lineup.

  Medial pills were always the most sought-after items. Even Xiao Yan himself had purchased two medial pills: a 2nd-tier Fme Enhang Pill to speed up the cultivation speed of fire attribute Qi Methods, and a 2nd-tier Qi Rec Pill to increase the restoration rate of one's Dou Qi. Although they were not as expensive as the Qi Gathering Pill, the total price of these two pills was still tens of thousands of gold s.

  "Alright, the au item is quite iing. This is a precious item brought from the headquarters, a medial cauldron with three openings."

  Ya Fei cpped her hands, and three burly men brought a green and red medial cauldron with three openings onto the stage.

  Everyone seemed ued the moment the medial cauldron appeared.

  This was not surprising. A good cauldron was indeed o refine medial pills. However, such cauldrons could be passed down from geion to geion and were only needed by alchemists.

  But the most important reason was that the alchemists were too scarce.

  "This is a medial cauldron with three openings, a superior item among medial cauldrons. The starting bid is 100,000 gold s."

  Even with Ya Fei's temperament, her ihoughts at this moment were filled with curses directed at the shameless old bastards at headquarters.

  This item was basically unsold goods from the headquarters that were dumped in Wu Tan City. In pin terms, they were trying to see if Ya Fei could hoodwink some naive try bumpkin into buying this thing.

  But no matter how much Ya Fei shouted, no one was willing to bid. Even though Liu Xi was a 1st-tier alchemist, he had his own medial cauldron and was uo switch to a new one.

  Just as Ya Fei was about to annouhe item as unsold, a hand slowly rose. Xiao Yan leisurely asked, "Miss Ya Fei, may I ihe item?"

  Ya Fei's willowy eyebrows furrowed slightly. She felt an unusual ripple within her heart at this moment.

  "Normally, au items ot be touched, but sihis is a request from Little Leader Xiao Yan, Ya Fei will make an exception today." Ya Fei's words were as gentle as a spring breeze. Her tone erfectly banced, her overly fttering nor offensive.

  "Ihe item?"

  "How one i a medial cauldron?"

  "Maybe tap it a few times to see if there are any cracks?"

  Liu Xi looked down at Xiao Yan with disdain as he stepped onto the stage and sneered, "Su idiot, thinking he get a bargain by buying a medial cauldron at a low prid reselling it at a profit. He doesn't even uand that alchemists despise the use of sedhand cauldrons."

  Amidst murmurs and skeptical gnces, Xiao Yan approached the cauldron and pced a hand over one of its openings.

  "This is?!" Master Gu Ni's expression ged drastically at the sight of Xiao Yan's a! The sed, with a muffled 'puff', a yellow stream of air passed over the opening and abruptly turned into a tangible yellow fme within the cauldron. It swirled and bureadily. Then, a strand of green wood-attribute Dou Qi merged with the fme, causing the fme to take on a hint of green color.

  The astonishment could be seen on Ya Fei's pretty face as she stood aside and realized what Xiao Yan was doing!

  "What the fuck!" Xiao Yu even uttered an obsity as she abruptly stood up from her seat.

  Jia Lie Bi, Ao Ba Pa, Liu Xi, and others who had seen alchemy performed before, all stood up. Their eyes were wide with astonishment.

  "You... you... you... you... you're an alchemist?!!" Liu Xi poi Xiao Yan oage. His tone was filled with disbelief.

  How could an alchemist appear in such a remote city! They were extremely rare even in the Jia Nan Academy.

  As Liu Xi's words came out, even those who had never seen alchemy uood what Xiao Yan was doing at this moment.

  He was refining pills!

  Is this how you i items?!

  Xiao Yan flicked his fingers, and a stalk of Blood Clotting Grass, a Lively Fruit, and two Poppy Flowers flew into the cauldron at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, all of them ed by the fmes in an instant to prevent anyone from dising the plete recipe.

  Hidden within the fierce cauldron fmes were strands of Bone Chilling Fme. Xiao Yan had refihe 1st-tier medial pill, Blood Clotting Powder, dozens of times and had it down to an art. Coupled with a bit of assistance from the Bone Chilling Fme, both the speed and quality of his alchemy were excellent.

  In just thirty minutes, Xiao Yan had prepared a paste-like Blood Clotting Powder and pced it in a box. A wave of medial fragranstantly filled the entire au house.

  During those thirty minutes, not a single perso impatient, because everyone khey were witnessing the future of Wu Tan City!

  With a faint smile, Xiao Yan handed a rge box of Blood Clotting Powder to Ya Fei and fidently said, "Apologies for the interruption, Miss Ya Fei. Please accept this box of Blood Clotting Powder as pensation for the invenience."

  "This medial cauldron is quite good. I bid 100,000 gold s for it."

  Ya Fei accepted the box almost reflexively, pletely fetting the au procedure of calling out '100,000 gold s once, 100,000 gold s twice'. She was simply stunned.

  Xiao Yan refine pills!

  You kid know alchemy?!

  Is there anything you 't do?!

  Cmor!!!

  The entire au house exploded with excitement!

  "Spread the news immediately! The Little Leader of the Xiao , Xiao Yan, is an alchemist!"

  "The Jia Lie d the Ao Ba are finished!"

  Jia Lie Bi and Ao Ba Pa slumped into their chairs in despair as they felt their entire bodies bee utterly weak and powerless.

  Xiao Yan was more than just an alchemist. His identity as the Little Leader of the Xiao was the coup de grace!

  A fn 1st-tier alchemist like Liu Xi had already thrown Wu Tan City into turmoil. However, Liu Xi didn't offer his alchemy services for free; he charged exorbitant fees, which resulted in eously expensive medial pills.

  But Xiao Yan! He was the Little Leader of the Xiao ! This meant that for every pill sold by the Xiao , after dedug the cost of materials, the rest would all be pure profit!

  Sheer profit! Absolute sheer profit!

  The medial pills from the Ao Jia Market couldn't possibly pete with those of the Xiao ; the tter naturally had a price advantage. Not to mention, Xiao Yan's pill recipes and alchemy teiques were superior to Liu Xi's.

  From the moment Xiao Yan publicly demonstrated his alchemy skills, this war over medial pills had already e to an end.

  Ya Fei suddenly remembered the five-year herb supply tract that the two major s had signed. She didn't o guess to know that the prices of the specific medial ingredients Liu Xi needed would plummet, and his medial pills would be endlessly suppressed by those of the Xiao .

  The medial pills from the Ao Jia Market would essentially be unselble as long as Xiao Yahe prices of his medial pills within a certain range. Even if they were sold, each sale would result in a loss. Besides, they wouldn't hat many medial ingredients in the first pce.

  It was basically a predatory price-cutting strategy!

  Xiao Yan now had the capital to do it!

  Ya Fei khat in order to procure more medial ingredients and prevent the Xiao from monopolizing the supply, the two major s had med many of their properties and had already paid deposits to the herb merts for cooperation.

  'This was his pn all along!' Ya Fei's small mouth hung open slightly as she looked at Xiao Yan, who was shining like a star, and suddenly uood many things.

  Xiao Yan wao pletely ruiher two major s and make the Xiao the sole authority in Wu Tan City!
