Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 124 Kaoru's Yandere Transformation? (Two Chapters Combined, Please Subscribe)

"Two million and one gold coins."

When this incredibly cleverly chosen price echoed through the room, the previously tranquil atmosphere of the auction was instantly shattered, and a clamor of voices rose and fell.

The other party added one gold coin.
Anyone can understand the blatant provocation in this.

Sensing the strange gazes cast upon him from all around, the young master of the Blood Sect ignored them. He slightly turned his head, his gaze fixed on the elegant pavilion where Xiao Yue and the others were, his eyes filled with lewdness and triumphant provocation.

Xiao Yue ignored him.

However, the girl who had been sitting quietly beside her was seeing this, but inside she was like a volcano about to erupt.

Xiao Xun'er could not tolerate anyone repeatedly showing such disrespectful and evil eyes to her sister!
At this moment, a glimmer of golden flame flickered in the girl's eyes, which were originally as clear as autumn water.

The golden flames in her eyes ignited quietly, then vanished in an instant, as if unwilling to be noticed. But in that very moment, Xiao Yue, who was nearby, seemed to sense something.

"There's no point in getting angry at a dead person..."

Xiao Yue spoke softly beside the girl,
Saying,

She reached out and touched the long, straight black hair of the girl beside her, comforting her as if she were a small animal.

After being comforted by Xiao Yue, the girl felt as if she were gently enveloped by a warm current, and the anger that was about to erupt subsided at that moment.

"Ok!"

Xiao Xun'er nodded, looking at Xiao Yue with a sweet smile in her clear, autumn-like eyes. She held Xiao Yue's hand, feeling the slightly cool warmth of his fingers, and her dependence and possessiveness grew stronger.

but,

Deep within the girl's eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, the golden flame still burned quietly, only now it was more cleverly concealed by her.

……

The auction below is still ongoing.

"A Grade 7 Elixir Formula - Heavenly Spirit Pill, starting price two million gold coins!"

The auction item this time is even more astonishing: a formula for a seventh-grade elixir, with a starting bid of two million gold coins.

Fire, cauldron, medicine, prescription!

In this world, there are four things that are most attractive to alchemists! Xiao Yue is no exception; she is currently very interested in the pill formula.

The recipes for alchemy in this world are not something that can be casually written down with pen and paper as one might imagine. They contain too many things, such as controlling the concentration of the materials at the appropriate temperature every second, as well as the subtle reactions between the various materials.

These are almost like algorithms for researching nuclear weapons, extremely tedious and complex. If a high-level pill formula like the seventh grade were listed on paper, the dense characters on it would probably be enough to cover a carpet tens or hundreds of meters long.

therefore,

Pill formulas of grade four and above are all written by alchemists using their soul power, so each formula is extremely precious and difficult to produce, and can only be read a maximum of five times.

"Two million one hundred thousand!"

"Two million three hundred thousand!"

"Two and a half million!"

"Two million seven hundred thousand!"

Several alchemists in the arena began to bid.
As alchemists, they were quite wealthy and naturally very generous. No alchemist could resist a scroll of seventh-grade pill formulas. Even if they couldn't refine it, its reference value was immense. If they could glean some insights from it, it would be enough to benefit them for a lifetime!
Time passes slowly,
Many powerful forces from the Black Corner Region below also began to vie for this seventh-grade pill formula. Most of them were not alchemists, and the reason they wanted to bid for this pill formula was to have the opportunity to do favors for some high-level alchemists in the future.

The price of that seventh-grade pill formula quickly soared to a full four million gold coins!
"five million."

Xiao Yue made her offer.
This time, she directly increased the price by one million gold coins in one go.

Such an astronomical price caused the air in the room to freeze slightly once again. Five million gold coins, which is equivalent to five small goals in the previous life, is an astronomical figure for most people. Even the major powers in the Black Corner Region need to think carefully before deciding whether to continue to raise the price.

"A million more bids in one go, and they don't even blink?" Everyone in the auction house was secretly shocked.

When Xiao Yue bid for the Thousand-Year Life Soul Flower earlier, it had already attracted the attention of some people. Now, she has once again demonstrated her strong financial resources, making everyone speculate about her identity and background.

Just then, the auctioneer's voice rang out again: "Five million gold coins, any higher bids?"

Everyone in the room fell silent for a moment.

The price of five million gold coins far exceeds the estimated value of this seventh-grade pill formula, which is already beyond the reach of most people.

After all, these powerful forces have a large number of subordinates to support. You don't know the value of money until you're in charge. Five million gold coins is no small sum.

Five million and one gold coins.

It was still that somewhat cold and weak voice.

This immediately surprised everyone in the room. Then, the people in the auction, who were all eager to watch the show, smiled with amusement. This was going to be a good show.

"Another gold coin, that guy really deserves a beating!" Xiao Yu muttered under her breath.

"Six million five hundred thousand gold coins."

Xiao Yue spoke calmly.
Her tone was indifferent, after all, she really didn't care about these so-called gold coins.

During her travels through the northwestern kingdoms, almost every day, "money-bringing children" rushed to be reborn and die. Over time, she naturally accumulated more and more storage rings, many of which were "gifted" by her old friend, the Soul Palace.

"Six million five hundred thousand and one gold coins."

The Blood Sect's young master continued speaking with a cold smile.
He had already made up his mind that no matter how much Xiao Yue asked for, he would only pay one more gold coin.

"Little Lord?"

Seeing his actions, the old man beside him couldn't help but stand up.

If it were auctioning off the Thousand-Year Soul Flower, it would have been understandable, since that thing was said to be of great use to their Blood Sect. But now they're wasting money on pointless arguments with others, which is just too wasteful!
"Get out! Don't stop me!"

Fan Ling's face turned cold, and he turned to shout at the old man. The fierce aura that flashed across his cold face made the old man's heart tremble, and he had no choice but to shrink back.

The old man felt very aggrieved. As a Dou Wang powerhouse, being scolded like this by a young man at the early stage of Dou Ling was a disgrace. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had a powerful Dou Huang father, he would have already slapped this ungrateful and weak youth to death.

"Six million five hundred thousand and one gold coins, is there anyone willing to offer a higher price?" the auctioneer asked.

Xiao Yue remained silent in the elegant room.
Although she didn't care about the money, she had no reason to refuse when someone was eager to pay for her.

Seeing that she stopped bidding,
The huge auction hall fell slightly quiet, and then gloating gazes turned to the young master of the Blood Sect.

After all, no matter how precious a seventh-grade pill formula is, no one in the Black Corner Region can refine it. At most, it's just a favor to those fifth- or sixth-grade alchemists, and it's really not worth that many gold coins.

Its normal price is at most four million. "As expected of the young master of the Blood Sect, spending more than six million gold coins to buy a seventh-grade pill formula that almost no one can refine is indeed generous." A woman covered her red lips with her jade hand and said coquettishly. She was a member of the Rakshasa Sect.

"Yes! Who can match Young Master Fan's generosity?" The representative from Black Skull Tomb also began to mock.

The Black Skull Tomb is a formidable force within the Black Corner Region, and the cultivation techniques they practice are quite bizarre, leaning towards a rare dark attribute. Therefore, although the number of people within the tomb is small, they are all elite experts, and they frequently clash with the Blood Sect.

They were backed by top ten powers in the Black Corner Region, each dominating their own territory. Naturally, they weren't afraid of the Blood Sect's young master, and they were generally at odds with him.
So at this moment, they all started to make sarcastic remarks, which made Fan Ling very angry.

"I've heard that the Medicine King Han Feng of Maple City has been searching for this pill formula for a long time. As for whether it's worth the price, hehe, I won't trouble you all with that!" Fan Ling sneered, speaking with a hint of smugness.

The old man beside him twitched his lips slightly upon hearing this, inwardly cursing him as an idiot. "Is this something to brag about?!"
really,

Upon hearing this, the representatives of various factions in the auction hall all changed their expressions and involuntarily narrowed their eyes.

Who is Han Feng, the Medicine King? It is said that his strength has already reached the peak of Dou Huang, and he is the number one alchemist in the Black Corner Region. His influence as an alchemist is so great that even Dou Zong experts would have to treat him with respect!

No wonder the young master of the Blood Sect wanted to bid on this pill formula; it seems he wanted to curry favor with Medicine Emperor Han Feng and make him owe him a favor. It was indeed worth the price.

"Hmph~"

Seeing the slight change in the expressions of the people in the auction hall, Fan Ling smiled smugly. He seemed to already see himself holding that seventh-grade pill formula, paying homage to the Medicine Emperor Han Feng, and then rising to prominence.

but,

The young master of the Blood Sect had no idea that what he had bought wasn't a seventh-grade pill formula at all; it was clearly a ticket to hell!
The old man beside the Blood Sect's young master smiled bitterly to himself. He noticed the menacing gazes around him and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At this moment, the old man was already thinking about which company he should switch to, since this was the Black Corner Region, and he didn't care about loyalty or anything like that.

It's not worth risking your life for such an idiot. If things get really bad, just run away. Nothing is more important than saving your life.

Besides, he's just an ordinary elder of the Blood Sect, with not much monthly salary. Why would he risk his life like that?
...

"The Medicine King... Han Feng?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and thoughtfully uttered the name.

This Han Feng... isn't he the "filial disciple" that Old Man Yao once mentioned?

I heard that the other party is doing quite well in the Black Corner Region. His current alchemy level is at the peak of the sixth grade, which is already comparable to the seventh grade. His alchemy skills are much more exquisite than those of Gu He, the Pill King of the Jia Ma Empire, who is barely at the early stage of the sixth grade.

If given the chance, Xiao Yue wouldn't mind helping the old man Yao clean house.

...

Time passes slowly,
As the auction drew to a close, the grand finale of this Heavenly Rank auction organized by Canaan Academy was finally revealed.

This is a low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique!

Xiao Yue wasn't interested in this thing. Although the cultivation techniques in this world were worth referencing, it was a somewhat unorthodox dark attribute battle qi technique, so she had no intention of getting involved.

With the appearance of this Earth-rank cultivation technique, which could serve as the foundation for establishing a sect, the atmosphere in the auction house entered its most exciting period, and the various forces gathered there finally began their fierce competition.

finally,
This low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique was also sold for tens of millions of dollars, a price even more terrifying than the seventh-grade pill formula from earlier.

That's normal.

Xiao Yue had once heard the old man of medicine say that even the lowest-level Earth-rank cultivation technique was enough to support a person to cultivate to the Dou Zun realm!

of course,

Even with a low-level cultivation technique, one may not necessarily be able to cultivate to the level of Dou Zun; it still depends on opportunity and talent.

Take the Yunlan Sect for example. The Cangyun Venerable left behind genuine Earth-rank cultivation techniques back then, but nearly a thousand years have passed and the Yunlan Sect has not produced another Cangyun Venerable.

……

……

The auction quickly came to an end.
Although Xiao Yue didn't get anything at the auction, she wasn't worried. After all, the items didn't have any brains and wouldn't run away.

She didn't even need to lift a finger; Her Majesty the Queen, who wasn't exactly known for her good temper, would naturally do the work for her.

For Queen Medusa, daring to touch that thousand-year-old life-soul flower meant certain death for Fan Ling, the young master of the Blood Sect…

After the auction ended, the elder who had been enforcing the law stepped forward politely, clasped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Instructor Xiao Yue, Elder Ming requests your presence; he has something to discuss with you."

Xiao Yue nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Xiao Xun'er and the others and said, "Xun'er, you and Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei'er should go back first."

"Um…"

Xiao Xun'er smiled and released Xiao Yue's hand, then left the auction house with Xiao Yu and the others.

But as the girl turned around, the smile in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a dangerous, yandere-like gaze. Deep within her pupils, it seemed as if a golden flame was burning, flashing with a chilling light.

"Anyone who shows disrespect to Sister Xiao Yue should no longer live in this world..." This was a very dangerous thought in the girl's mind.

After they all left,
Xiao Yue then followed the law enforcement elder toward the inner chamber of the auction hall.

No one noticed that the beautiful seven-colored snake in Xiao Yue's sleeve had already disappeared when the Blood Sect's young master left the auction.

……

……

Xiao Yue followed the law enforcement elder through the bustling auction hall and into the tranquil inner chamber.

In the Cabinet's office,
An elderly man with white hair sat in the main seat. This was Ming Qiong, the captain of Canaan Academy who had guided the younger generation of the Xiao family in Wutan City.

When Elder Ming saw Xiao Yue enter, a warm smile appeared on his face. He waved for the law enforcement elders to step down, then beckoned to Xiao Yue, "Little Yue'er, you've come."

"Greetings, Elder Ming."

Xiao Yue smiled and said,
She had a pretty good impression of the old man and was happy to refer to herself as a junior.

Elder Ming nodded, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yue for a moment, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, "I didn't expect that in just over two years, you've grown to this extent."

"Mr. Ming, you flatter me. It was just a fluke," Xiao Yue said modestly with a slight smile.

Elder Ming waved his hand and said seriously, "There's no need to be modest. Your strength and ability would make you one of the best among the younger generation, even in the distant Central Continent. There are very few who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you. I've come to you this time because there's something important I want to tell you."

"It's been decided from above, you'll be a guest elder in the inner courtyard from now on..."
