The Destiny Villain Starting from Battle Through the Heavens

"Furthermore, this fighting technique was provided by Young Master Nalan, and its origin is clean, so it will not cause any trouble. Everyone can bid with peace of mind."

Ya Fei first gave Nalan Sheng a charming smile, then said to everyone in the hall, "The starting price for this combat skill is 80,000 gold coins, and each bid must be at least 1,000 gold coins higher. You may place your bids now."

"Eighty-five thousand!"

"Ninety thousand!"

"Ninety-three thousand..."

Upon learning that "Absorbing Palm" was written by Nalan Sheng, everyone was no longer worried and immediately began bidding against each other.

After a fierce bidding war, the black scroll containing the "Absorbing Palm" technique was finally sold to an old man in yellow robes for 120,000 gold coins.

The old man in yellow was a well-known medicine merchant in Wutan City. Although he was quite wealthy, he was certainly not as rich as the three major families.

Under normal circumstances, the old man in yellow would definitely not be able to compete with Xiao Zhan and his group.

However, Xiao Zhan and his group's target was the upcoming Wind Sweep Technique, and the three major families also had no shortage of low-level Xuan-rank fighting techniques, which allowed the old man in yellow to get a bargain.

"Now, please welcome the final, most coveted item of this auction!"

Soon another maid in green came up to the auction stage carrying a silver tray with a green scroll on it.

"This scroll contains a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique with wind attributes, named the Wind Scroll Technique!"

Ya Fei didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "This technique was obtained by a hunter in the mountains by chance. It was left by our predecessors and has a clean provenance. Everyone can bid with peace of mind."

The starting bid for this skill manual is 200,000 gold coins. Each bid must be at least 5,000 gold coins higher. You may place your bids now.

"Two hundred and one thousand!"

"Two hundred and thirty thousand!"

"Two hundred and forty thousand..."

In a remote country like the Gama Empire, advanced Xuan-rank cultivation techniques are already the most advanced techniques that ordinary people can access, naturally attracting fierce bidding from everyone.

However, in the end, Jia Liebi proved to be the more skilled, successfully bidding for the Wind Sweep with a high price of 550,000 gold coins.

With the successful sale of the Wind and Rain weapon, the auction has come to a close.

As soon as Nalan Sheng and Xiao Yixian stepped out of the auction hall, Ya Fei swayed over and handed him a purple-gold card.

"Young Master Sheng, I need to entertain a distinguished guest. If you have nothing else to attend to, I'll have to excuse myself now."

"Distinguished guest?"

A glint of light flashed in Nalan Sheng's eyes, and he revealed a somewhat amused smile, saying, "Sister Yafei, besides this young master, who else in Wutan City can be called a distinguished guest by you?"

If I'm not mistaken, the distinguished guest you're referring to should be the alchemist who auctioned off the Foundation Establishment Elixir, right?

"You really can hide anything from me."

Ya Fei shook her head helplessly and said, "That's right, the distinguished guest I'm meeting is the alchemist who auctioned off the Foundation Establishment Elixir."

"Although the Foundation Establishment Elixir is only a second-grade pill, it can be used by people below the level of Dou Zhe. Alchemists who can create this new pill formula are either veteran alchemists with extremely high alchemy skills or genius alchemists with extremely high talent."

Nalan Sheng revealed a harmless smile and said, "Sister Yafei, why don't you take me to meet this distinguished guest?"

"If I could recruit a skilled alchemist for the Nalan family, we'd probably get beaten up a bit less when we return to the capital."

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei couldn't help but show a somewhat troubled expression.

"Sister Yafei, you're the best!"

Nalan Sheng stared intently into Ya Fei's beautiful eyes and spoke in a slightly coquettish tone.

"Alright! Alright! I can't do anything with you anymore, come with me!"

Ya Fei's lips twitched slightly, and she could only agree to take Nalan Sheng to see that mysterious alchemist.

Led by Ya Fei, Nalan Sheng and his group soon arrived at the VIP room of the auction house, where they met Xiao Yan, who was shrouded in a black robe, and Gu Ni, who was entertaining him.

"Um?"

When Xiao Yan saw Nalan Sheng and Little Fairy Doctor following behind Ya Fei, he couldn't help but frown and said with some dissatisfaction, "Master Gu Ni, these two shouldn't be from your auction house, right? What's the meaning of you bringing two outsiders to see this old man?"

"Sir, I am..."

Before Ya Fei could finish speaking, Nalan Sheng exclaimed in feigned shock, "You're Xiao Yan!"

"..."

Seeing that Nalan Sheng had instantly recognized his identity, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Young Master Nalan, are you mistaken? How could this gentleman possibly be Xiao Yan?"

Gu Ni was the first to recover from his shock and questioned Nalan Sheng.

After all, Xiao Yan was a celebrity in Wutan City, and Gu Ni had naturally heard of his name.

But Xiao Yan isn't even a Dou Zhe, so how could he possibly transform into a second-grade alchemist capable of refining Foundation Establishment Elixir?

"snort!"

Nalan Sheng ignored Gu Ni's words and instead sneered, "Xiao Yan, if you want to disguise your identity next time, you'd better take off that ring on your hand. I'm not blind!"

Upon hearing Nalan Sheng's words, Xiao Yan immediately understood. He then shook his head helplessly, reached out and removed the black bamboo hat from his head, revealing a somewhat handsome face.

"I found it a bit strange earlier. Clan Chief Xiao is, after all, the head of a clan. Even if he is an incompetent clan chief, he shouldn't dare to misappropriate half a year's income of the Xiao family to buy a bottle of Foundation Establishment Elixir for you to use."

Otherwise, if he really dared to abuse his power for personal gain, his time as clan chief would probably be over.

Seeing this, Nalan Sheng feigned displeasure and said, "Now it seems that you and your son clearly set a trap, deliberately inflating the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixir, making me bid 50,000 gold coins for that bottle of Foundation Establishment Elixir. What a clever trick!"

"..."

Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly as he said, "Young Master Nalan, I didn't force you to bid for the Foundation Establishment Elixir. If you hadn't been deliberately trying to antagonize my father, how could you have possibly paid such a high price for that bottle of Foundation Establishment Elixir?"

Although Xiao Yan wanted to explain that Xiao Zhan was not his accomplice, he didn't want to accuse his father of abusing his power for personal gain, so he could only acquiesce to the fact that he and his father had conspired to set a trap for Nalan Sheng.

"Fine, fine, I admit defeat today. But you still owe the Nalan family an explanation for deliberately pretending to be a good-for-nothing."

Nalan Sheng feigned anger and said, "Now that things have come to this, are you still going to say that you have some strange illness that has caused your cultivation to regress?"

Actually, I should have thought of this a long time ago. If there really was such a strange disease, all the fighting spirit in your body would have dissipated. How could you have remained at the third level of fighting spirit?

Now that I think about it, you clearly pretended to be at the third stage of Dou Qi on purpose, so that others would mistakenly think you were a piece of trash.

I initially thought it was Chief Xiao who didn't understand the rules, but it turns out it's you who's breaking the rules.
