The Destiny Villain Starting from Battle Through the Heavens

After briefly testing the new effects of the "Water Cloaking Technique," Nalan Sheng left the inn satisfied and headed straight for the Mittel Auction House.

The Mittel Auction House is the largest auction house in Utan City, and it also belongs to the Mittel family, the wealthiest family in the Gama Empire!

Like the Nalan family, the Mittel family is one of the three great families of the Gama Empire.

However, the Mittel family is better at business, while the Nalan family's influence is more aligned with the military.

Upon learning that Nalan Sheng came from the Nalan family, the guards at the Mittel Auction House dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately had someone invite him to the VIP box.

"I was wondering why my eyelids had been twitching since early this morning; turns out we have a special guest coming to visit!"

Not long after Nalan Sheng entered the VIP room, a series of crisp footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a soft, sweet laugh. Ya Fei, dressed in a red dress with a curvaceous figure, swayed her hips as she walked in.

"Sister Yafei, it's been a long time."

Looking at Ya Fei's beautiful and charming face, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Nalan Sheng's eyes, and he smiled and nodded at her.

Because Ya Fei was also a direct descendant of the Mittel family, Nalan Sheng naturally knew her, and the two of them had attended many banquets held by the three major families.

"I say, Young Master Sheng, you really have some nerve. You actually dared to bring Sister Yanran to the Xiao family to break off the engagement without telling Old Master Nalan."

Ya Fei moved gracefully, leaving a fragrant trail as she sat down beside Nalan Sheng, a playful smile on her face. "Aren't you afraid that Old Master Nalan might break your legs in a fit of anger?"

"I'm scared~"

Nalan Sheng nodded with feigned helplessness, then looked directly into Ya Fei's beautiful, autumn-water-like eyes and said, "That's why I've come to seek refuge with Sister Ya Fei, isn't it? Anyway, I won't return to the capital until the old man's anger subsides. I just don't know if Sister Ya Fei would be willing to take me in?"

"Of course I'd love to!"

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei replied without hesitation, "I have several vacant manors under my name. You can choose one you like to live in later. As long as you, Young Master Sheng, are willing, you can stay for as long as you like."

Ya Fei agreed so readily for two reasons: firstly, she had a good relationship with Nalan Sheng, and secondly, she wanted Nalan Sheng to owe her a favor.

Nalan Sheng is, after all, the eldest son of the Nalan family. It's practically a done deal that he will inherit the position of head of the Nalan family in the future, so his connections are still very valuable.

"Since Sister Yafei has said so, then I won't stand on ceremony with you~"

Nalan Sheng first thanked Ya Fei, then took out a piece of black iron: "By the way, Sister Ya Fei, this is a treasure I just found in the Xiao Family Market."

This thing must have been made by an alchemist; it requires the power of the soul to activate.

My soul power is not strong enough, so I can only ask the alchemists at your auction house to help me open it.

If I don't need anything stored here, I can just put it up for auction at your auction house.

"Oh?"

Looking at the ancient black iron piece, a hint of surprise flashed in Ya Fei's beautiful eyes. She turned to the maid not far away and said, "Quickly go and invite Master Gu Ni over."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the maid in green, who was responsible for serving tea and water, quickly left the VIP box.

A short while later, the maid in green returned, followed by an elderly man with white hair and a green robe.

"Ah Sheng, let me introduce you. This is Master Gu Ni from our auction house. He is a three-star Grand Dou Master and also a second-grade alchemist."

Upon seeing the old man in the green robe, Ya Fei quickly introduced them: "Uncle Gu Ni, this is Nalan Sheng, the eldest young master of the Nalan family."

"Greetings, Young Master Nalan."

Upon learning that Nalan Sheng was actually the eldest young master of the Nalan family, Gu Ni instantly abandoned the arrogance unique to alchemists.

Although alchemists have a status far exceeding that of ordinary people, a second-grade alchemist like Gu Ni really wouldn't dare to offend a young master of Nalan Sheng's caliber.

"Master Gu Ni, you're too kind."

Nalan Sheng smiled and waved his hand, then handed over the black iron piece in his hand: "Please, Master Gu Ni, take a look and tell me what's inside?"

Gu Ni nodded, took the black iron piece and examined it carefully. Finally, he stroked his beard and said, "Young Master Nalan, this iron piece contains a Xuan-level beginner combat skill called 'Absorb Palm'."

"It's just a low-level Xuan-rank combat skill?"

Nalan Shengjian frowned slightly, feigning disappointment, and said, "I thought this contained some kind of pill formula."

"My dear young master~ This is at least a Xuan-rank combat skill, do you really need to be so disappointed?"

Ya Fei rolled her eyes at Nalan Sheng, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "By the way, how much did you pay for this piece of iron?"

"Five thousand gold coins!"

"Only five thousand gold coins?"

Ya Fei's eyes widened suddenly, her mouth slightly agape, "Then didn't you get a huge bargain? The market price for a low-level Xuan-rank combat skill is usually between 50,000 and 100,000 gold coins. You made more than ten times that price with just one transaction!"

"It's alright~"

Nalan Sheng said calmly, "However, I'm too lazy to waste time cultivating this fighting technique, so I'll just put it up for auction at your auction house."

"That's great! In just two months, our auction house will be holding its annual auction."

Ya Fei nodded with a smile and said, "If you're not in a hurry for money, why don't you put this fighting technique up for auction? It should fetch a good price then."

"OK!"

Nalan Sheng naturally had no objection to this. Although Ya Fei's talent for cultivation was average, her talent for business was extremely high. When it came to business matters, listening to her would definitely not be wrong.

……

Several days later

In a luxurious manor in Utan City.

"Bang bang bang..."

Dressed in a blue and white outfit, Nalan Sheng, as usual, held a Desert Eagle and shot at the human-shaped target held up by the shadowy ninja.

Because the Desert Eagle doesn't consume battle qi and can automatically replenish its ammo, Nalan Sheng has been practicing his marksmanship whenever he has a spare moment after finishing his cultivation techniques and combat skills these days.

After several days of hard training, Nalan Sheng has made significant progress and can now hit the bullseye every time within a 100-meter range.

Although the Desert Eagle's power is limited, it is more than enough to deal with first-tier magical beasts and fighters.

Even a Dou Shi-level expert, without first covering their entire body with a Dou Qi veil, could easily have their head blown off by Nalan Sheng's Desert Eagle.

Only those who have reached the level of a Great Dou Master can use their reaction speed, which is far beyond that of ordinary people, to directly dodge the bullets fired by the Desert Eagle, or to use their Dou Qi armor to withstand the bullet attacks in time.
