In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 51 Xiao Yan's Monetization Plan

As night fell

Mittel Auction House, the largest auction house in Utan City.

Xiao Yan followed behind Xiao Zhan and entered the Mittel Auction House through the VIP passage.

Upon entering, Xiao Yan addressed his father, Xiao Zhan.

"Father, my stomach hurts a little, so I'll head back now!"

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan with concern.

"Have you been cultivating too hastily lately? Don't rush, relax and take it slow."

"Father, I'm fine. I just want to go home and rest," Xiao Yan said apologetically.

"Um!"

After a moment's thought, Xiao agreed.

"Then you should go back first. There's still a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique up for auction today. Our Xiao family can't afford to miss it. I won't accompany you back!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Father."

Suddenly, something occurred to Xiao Yan.

He quickly stepped forward and whispered to Xiao Zhan,

"Father, if you see any pills that can enhance the strength of those below the Dou Zhe level later, be sure not to buy them!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan in confusion.

However, after Xiao Yan finished speaking, he turned around and left the Mittel Auction House.

Xiao Zhan shook his head helplessly.

"This child... is always so energetic..."

Then he turned to the elder beside him and said...

"Elder, let's go inside first. The auction won't start for another hour."

The Grand Elder nodded with a smile.

"The chieftain is right!"

The two headed towards the VIP rooms on the second floor.

……

On the other side, as soon as Xiao Yan left the auction house, he immediately slipped into a small alley and changed into a black robe and black cloak.

Then, through a dialogue between experts...

Gu Ni, a second-grade alchemist, conquered the auction house.

It was immediately decided to temporarily add the Foundation Establishment Elixir to the auction items as a heavyweight item to be auctioned later.

However, perhaps because Xiao Yan followed his father in, he turned back again.

Apart from Master Gu Ni, no other auction house managers were seen during the event.

Xiao Yan, holding a black tag and dressed in a black robe and cloak, sat quietly in the lobby on the first floor.

Flipping through the auction catalog, I saw a purple spirit flower that caught my eye.

The Purple Spirit Flower is an extremely rare medicinal herb, often guarded by a third-tier magical beast.

This medicinal herb can enhance the strength of both humans and magical beasts.

Most importantly, the Purple Spirit Flower is used to refine top-grade fourth-rank pills.

One of the important medicinal ingredients in Zixin Pozhang Dan.

Previously, after experiencing Xiao Ran's extravagant spending and comparing his filial piety, Xiao Yan discussed with Yao Lao how to improve his father's strength.

Without hesitation, the old apothecary recommended this peak-grade fourth-rank pill, the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.

It can steadily improve the strength of a Great Dou Master by one star without any side effects, and if you are lucky, it is even possible to improve by two stars.

However, with Yao Lao around, it's guaranteed that Xiao Zhan will advance two stars.

therefore,

Xiao Yan had been keeping an eye on the medicinal materials for the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.

did not expect,

I actually came across one at an auction today.

What great luck!

Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Then he slightly turned his head to look at the location of the Xiao family ahead, and a smile appeared on his lips.

In the morning while on the mountain,

Xiao Yan complained to Yao Lao that he had spent too much gold coins recently and was thinking of converting some into cash.

Actually, Xiao Yan isn't short of money right now.

It was only because of the high interest rates that Xiao Ran charged him every day without fail that he was feeling suffocated.

I've been buying some medicinal herbs lately, and the money's flowing out like water.

This made Xiao Yan have deep doubts about whether alchemists could make money.

If it can make money,

Why is my teacher such an amazing alchemist?

Yet, he was still burdened with an astronomical amount of debt?

Is he burdened with pressure that his age shouldn't have?

With this idea in mind,

Xiao Yan was unable to concentrate on his cultivation from then on.

He then presented his monetization plan to the old doctor, aiming to at least make a small profit.

Out of consideration for Xiao Yan's state of mind, Yao Lao finally nodded in agreement.

They had Xiao Yan find some medicinal herbs that weren't old enough and refined several batches of crude Foundation Establishment Elixir so that Xiao Yan could see the gold coins he had returned and feel at ease cultivating.

After that, Xiao Yan planned to go directly to the auction house to sell the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

But unexpectedly,

Today, the Fear Mettel Auction House is auctioning a scroll of advanced Xuan-level cultivation technique, and the hype is off the charts.

When Xiao Yan went out,

He happened to run into his father, Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan then dragged Xiao Yan to the auction house to see what it was like. Unable to refuse, Xiao Yan had no choice but to come along.

I made up an excuse to leave, but then I came back in.

Anyway, his father already knows that he has now become an apprentice of a fourth-grade alchemist.

There's no need to hide some things.

The auction hall is large enough to accommodate hundreds or thousands of people without difficulty.

As a bell rang,

A beautiful woman in a red dress gracefully approached the center of the room under the light.

She began the auction with her charming and sweet voice.

He explained the function of the items on the auction stage to everyone in the room.

This woman was none other than Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House.

The beauty who is known to almost everyone in Utan City.

In particular, her mature and charming allure has made many men fall at her feet.

Xiao Yan, who was sitting quietly waiting for the Purple Spirit Flower, suddenly frowned.

He turned his head and saw a scene that made him shudder.

Not far from his seat, a man was gazing intently at Ya Fei on the stage.

His hands kept moving beneath him...

"Holy crap!"

Under his cloak, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and muttered a curse under his breath. This guy was too indecent!

Cursing inwardly, Xiao Yan subconsciously moved away a bit.

Looking again at the woman in the red dress's full and alluring curves, he suddenly remembered the beautiful figure who had come to annul the engagement that day, and a chill ran down his spine.

"You little devil! When Ran-ge comes back, I'll definitely bring him to subdue you, you little devil!"

……

The auction is still ongoing.

"We just received a special item at the auction house, and Ya Fei guesses that everyone will be interested in it."

Suddenly, Consort Ya waved her hand, and a maidservant hurriedly brought out a jade plate with a small white jade bottle on it.

"This substance is called Foundation Building Elixir..."

A slightly exaggerated introduction came from her alluring red lips, making everyone in the room feel a chill run down their spines.

"The initial price for this item is eight thousand gold coins. Please start your bids!"

Ya Fei's demand was outrageous, which surprised Xiao Yan.

That woman is ruthless!

Luckily, I wasn't interested in her, otherwise I wouldn't even be left with any bones or scraps.

How could he not know what materials were used in the Foundation Establishment Elixir being auctioned on stage?

They were all versions he cut corners on.

I never expected this woman to be so ruthless; she asked for eight thousand gold coins right off the bat.

"Nine thousand!"

"Ten thousand!"

"Eleven thousand gold coins!"

All parties immediately raised their prices.
