Battle Through the Heavens: Attribute Draw, Top-Tier Comprehension at the Start

"I remember the house next door is uninhabited. Once I buy it, you and your mother can move in."

Qinglin nodded vigorously, her big eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

Of course she knew that Qin Yu wouldn't take them away from Shimo City and help them find a place to stay for no reason.

Qinglin already knew about Qin Yu's conditions from her mother.

It's just taking care of a yard; for this mother and daughter, it's practically a free and easy job.

It was just something I did easily.

The house next door was purchased smoothly.

The seller was a middle-aged man in his fifties. Over the past few months, he had personally witnessed the Xiao family sending people to clean Qin Yu's small house every few days, and he had long since made up his mind.

So when Qin Yu came to him wanting to buy the house, the price he quoted was ridiculously low, almost like giving it away for free.

Qin Yu wasn't the type to take advantage of others, so he gave an extra 20%, making both parties happy.

After obtaining the deed, Qin Yu returned to the small house and handed the key to Qing Lin's mother.

"The house next door has been bought, and you can move in today. If you find it inconvenient to open and close the door in the future, you can also tear down the wall between the two houses."

The neighbor's yard was a bit bigger than Qin Yu's, and the house inside was also spacious, but it had been uninhabited for a long time and was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Qinglin's mother came over and took a look. Without saying a word, she started tidying up, and Little Fairy Doctor also rolled up her sleeves to help.

Qin Yu wanted to lend a hand, but the three women unanimously pushed him forward:

"Why are you, a grown man, getting involved in this? Go do what you're supposed to do."

So Qin Yu really did go and "do what he was supposed to do".

He returned to his room, changed into the alchemist's robe, and pinned the fourth-grade alchemist's badge to his chest.

Wearing this outfit will make things much easier for him when he needs to get things done.

Little Fairy Doctor peeked out from the neighboring courtyard and saw Qin Yu had changed his clothes; her eyes lit up.

Are you going out?

"Yes, let's go to the Mittel Auction House."

"I want to go too!"

Little Fairy Doctor dropped the rag in her hand and was about to run out when Qin Yu stopped her.

"I...I'll help you save face!"

"If you come with me, who'll be the one to make a scene?"

Little Fairy Doctor snorted in dissatisfaction, but did not insist any further.

"Then come back soon."

Little Fairy Doctor straightened his collar, then suddenly kissed Qin Yu on the lips before turning and running back to the neighboring courtyard.

Qin Yu watched her retreating figure, shook his head with a smile, and walked towards the Mittel Auction House.

The Mittel Auction House is located on the most bustling main street in Utan, and its building has an impressive exterior.

As soon as Qin Yu entered the gate, the eyes of the two welcoming attendants immediately fell on him.

To be precise, it was the robe he wore that represented his identity as an alchemist.

As for the badge on the chest...

They didn't even notice, since in Wutan City, the chances of seeing a wild alchemist were already extremely low.

Who cares about rank? Just make sure they get good treatment!

"Sir, how can I help you?"

A maidservant hurried forward, bowing lower than the threshold.

"I want to see Consort Ya."

"Yes, sir, please follow me. I will arrange a VIP room for you first, and then I will inform Miss Yafei."

Without any hesitation, the maid gave her companion a wink and then led Qin Yu upstairs to a private room.

Qin Yu had barely sat down when footsteps sounded outside the door.

The door was pushed open, and a woman in a red dress walked in gracefully.

This was Qin Yu's first time meeting Ya Fei, and all that could be said was...

Words can hardly do justice to the real person.

This woman exudes a unique charm that belongs to mature women from head to toe.

Following Ya Fei was an elderly man.

The old man was wearing a gray robe with a badge of a second-grade alchemist pinned to his chest; he was clearly Gu Ni.

The moment Ya Fei entered the room, her gaze fell on the badge on Qin Yu's chest.

She paused for a moment, a hint of horror flashing deep in her eyes, but the smile on her face remained perfectly maintained.

Fourth-grade alchemist.

Ya Fei didn't believe anyone would dare to forge the Alchemist Guild's grade certificate, since alchemy skills couldn't be faked.

"Miss Yafei."

Qin Yu spoke first, offering a greeting.

"Sir, may I ask your name?"

Ya Fei gracefully sat down in the chair next to Qin Yu, and Gu Ni followed closely behind, sitting opposite the two of them.

"Qin Yu".

"Well... I wonder what treasure Master Qin has come to my Mittel Auction House today to bid on, or is there something else he needs?"

Ya Fei's voice seemed to have an inherent alluring quality, making people feel itchy inside, as if a cat's paw was gently scratching.

Qin Yu did not rush to answer, but instead took out ten small jade bottles from his storage ring and lined them up on the table.

Ya Fei naturally understood what Qin Yu meant. Gu Ni also stepped forward, picked up one of the jade bottles, uncorked it, and brought it to her nose to smell it.

Upon smelling it, his expression changed drastically.

After some assessment, Gu Ni stepped behind Ya Fei and whispered in her ear:

"Miss, if my judgment is correct, these should all be fourth-grade pills."

Gu Ni did not make a direct assertion because his own rank was only second grade.

He only noticed that there were three Qi Gathering Powders among them, and based on the fact that the fragrance of the ten pills was roughly at the same level, he made a guess.

This time, Ya Fei was completely unable to remain calm.

Is this man showing off his wealth? Is he treating a fourth-grade elixir like candy?

"Master Qin, what's wrong with you...?"

"I would like to ask Mittel Auction House for a favor, and this is the payment."

Qin Yu pushed the jade bottle forward. These ten grade-four pills were all refined by him on his return journey.

Ya Fei took a deep breath, trying her best to appear composed.

"Master Qin, please speak."

"I need your help to protect two people."

Qin Yu gave Qing Lin and her daughter their address, and then added:

"Don't worry about their living difficulties, they have to rely on themselves, but their personal safety cannot be compromised in the slightest."

After hearing this, Ya Fei fell silent.

Protecting a mother and daughter is a simple matter for Mittel Auction House.

Although the guard force of the Wutan City branch is not strong, there are not many powerful people in this place.

The reward Qin Yu offered was ten Rank 4 pills.

This deal is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

It could even be said that Qin Yu essentially gave away these ten Rank 4 pills for free.

"Master Qin, would you mind if I asked one more question?"

"It's okay, go ahead and ask."

Ya Fei raised her head, her long, narrow peach blossom eyes filled with doubt as she stared intently at Qin Yu's expression.

"Ten grade four pills...are they really worth it?"

"If I think she's worth it, then she is."

This is why Qin Yu can only offer fourth-grade pills at the moment, and the most powerful auction house in Wutan City is the Mitel Auction House.

Otherwise, Qin Yu wouldn't mind paying a higher fee to hire someone stronger to take charge of the safety of Qing Lin and her daughter.

He really loves Qinglin, and he'd pay any price for her!
