The Mittel Auction House was completely full, with representatives from all the major powers of the Gama Empire present.

Representatives from the Yunlan Sect, the Nalan Family, the Alchemist Guild, and all the major families in the capital were present.

A woman in a red cheongsam walked onto the auction stage, her captivating eyes sweeping over the crowd below, a charming smile on her face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Mittel Auction House. Today is a special auction, with only one item up for sale."

The audience fell silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the auction stage.

"A top-grade sixth-rank pill, the Battle Emperor Pill."

The auctioneer's voice echoed through the hall.

"You have all probably heard about the effects of this pill. After taking it, any level of fighter can temporarily gain the strength of a Dou Huang, which lasts for one hour."

The audience immediately stirred, with countless eyes fixed on the jade bottle in the auctioneer's hands, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.

Everyone knows what it means for a force if a single pill can transform a fighter into a fighting emperor, even if only for an hour.

The auctioneer looked around.

Starting bid: five million gold coins.

"Six million."

Yun Yun, sitting in the front row, raised her hand and casually uttered the number.

She wore a moon-white long dress, her appearance was stunning and her temperament was aloof.

Sitting next to her, Nalan Yanran stared at the jade vase on the auction stage, her eyes full of anticipation.

The teacher took a picture of this Douhuang Pill for her.

She's only a five-star fighter right now.

Nalan Yanran clenched her fist, knowing that taking this pill would grant her the strength of a Dou Huang within an hour.

"Six million five hundred thousand."

A voice came from the other side.

Yun Yun turned her head to look at that person, then looked away.

"Seven million."

"Seven million five hundred thousand."

"Eight million."

Yun Yun's voice remained calm throughout.

When the people around her saw her speak, they didn't dare to raise the price any further. With the sect leader of Yunlan Sect personally taking action, who would dare to compete?

The atmosphere in the venue was somewhat subtle. Several people who originally intended to bid put down their paddles when they saw Yun Yun sitting there.

Offending the Yunlan Sect is not worth it.

The auctioneer looked around.

"Eight million once, eight million twice."

"Ten million."

A voice came from the entrance of the venue, and everyone's eyes turned in that direction.

Jia Xingtian walked in, followed by two guards. He was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe and had a composed demeanor.

The ancestor of the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, a Dou Huang powerhouse.

Jia Xingtian's gaze swept across the venue, finally landing on Yun Yun.

"Sect Master Yun, I also need this pill very much."

Yun Yun looked at him, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

Jia Xingtian walked to the front row and sat down.

Yunyun took a deep breath.

"Eleven million."

"Twelve million." Jia Xingtian remained unfazed.

"Thirteen million."

"Fourteen million."

The bidding between the two men echoed in the hall, while the representatives of the surrounding factions exchanged glances, none daring to interrupt.

The Yunlan Sect Master and the Royal Ancestor, two powerful Dou Huangs, are vying for power. Who dares to get involved?

Yun Yun's expression was rather unpleasant.

"Jia Xingtian, are you really going to argue with me?"

"Sect Master Yun, the royal family is determined to obtain this pill. I apologize for the inconvenience."

Yun Yun gritted her teeth, tapping her fingers lightly on the armrest as she quickly made up her mind.

She raised the price again; she had enough gold coins, but it wasn't worth severing ties with the royal family over this elixir.

Yunyun put her hand down.

"never mind."

Her voice was very soft, but everyone around her could hear it.

Jia Xingtian cupped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you for your concession, Sect Master Yun."

Yun Yun didn't say anything, but stood up and left the venue with Nalan Yanran.

Jia Xingtian turned his gaze back to the auction stage.

The auctioneer looked around.

"Fourteen million once, fourteen million twice, fourteen million three times, deal."

The small hammer in her hand fell.

"Congratulations to Lord Jia Xingtian for winning the sixth-grade peak pill, the Douhuang Pill."

……

The Imperial Palace.

Yao Ye and Yao Yue sat in the main hall. Yao Ye was dressed in a smart outfit and looked dashing. Yao Yue was a little younger and her big eyes were full of liveliness.

"Sister, I heard Grandpa went to the auction house?" Yaoyue asked.

"Yes, go and buy a pill called the Douhuang Pill." Yaoye nodded.

"A Battle Emperor Pill? What grade is it?"

"The peak of the sixth rank allows any level of fighter to possess the strength of a Dou Huang within an hour."

Yao Yue's eyes widened.

"That's amazing? Who refined that pill?"

Yao Ye looked at her.

"Xiao Xuan".

Yao Yue was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Xuan? The Xiao Xuan from the Xiao family in Wutan City?"

"Yes, that's him."

Yao Yue's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Sis, I want to go see."

Yao Ye looked at her.

"To the auction house?"

"Yes." Yaoyue nodded vigorously.

Yao Ye remained silent for a moment. She also wanted to meet Xiao Xuan, a seventh-grade alchemist and an eight-star Dou Huang at the age of fifteen or sixteen. She had never seen such a person before.

"Okay." Yao Ye stood up. "Let's go."

The two left the main hall and headed towards the Mittel Auction House.

……

Mittel Auction House.

In the VIP room, Xiao Xuan sat in a chair with a cup of tea in his hand, while Xiao Xun'er sat beside him, her gaze sweeping across the room.

The sounds of the auction outside could be faintly heard.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Fujiyama pushed it open and walked in with a big smile on his face.

"Young Master Xiao, the pill has been sold for fourteen million gold coins."

Xiao Xuan nodded.

Fujiyama handed over a storage ring, which Xiao Xuan took and examined the gold coins inside. Fourteen million coins were neatly stacked.

He carefully put the ring away.

Just as Fujiyama was about to speak, there was another knock on the door.

Fujiyama turned his head.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Yao Ye and Yao Yue walked in.

Yao Ye's gaze fell on Xiao Xuan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. This is Xiao Xuan?

A boy of about fifteen or sixteen sat in a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, his face expressionless.

Yao Yue stood behind Yao Ye, her big eyes scrutinizing Xiao Xuan from head to toe.

Fujiyama immediately cupped his hands in greeting upon seeing the two.

"Princess Yaoye, Princess Yaoyue."

Yao Ye nodded and walked up to Xiao Xuan.

"Young Master Xiao, I am Yao Ye."

Xiao Xuan glanced at her.

"Um."

Yao Ye was stunned for a moment; she hadn't expected Xiao Xuan's reaction to be so indifferent.

She was the eldest princess of the Gama Empire, and was respected wherever she went, but Xiao Xuan looked at her as if she were an ordinary person.

Yaoyue stood aside and saw her sister get the short end of the stick, and her lips pursed slightly.

"Hey, my sister is talking to you."

Xiao Xuan glanced at her, then looked away and continued drinking his tea.

Yao Yue's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"How can you treat someone like this? My sister is the eldest princess, and this is how you treat her?"

Yao Ye reached out and stopped her.

"Yaoyue".

Yaoyue bit her lip and remained silent.

Yao Ye turned around and looked at Xiao Xuan.

"Young Master Xiao, we've come to pay you a visit; we have no other intentions."

Xiao Xuan put down his teacup.

"Are you done talking?"

Yao Ye was stunned.

Yao Yue's face turned even uglier, and she opened her mouth as if to say something.

Yao Ye grabbed her.

"I've finished speaking, then I won't bother Young Master Xiao any longer."

Yao Ye pulled Yao Yue and turned to leave the VIP room.

As Yaoyue walked out the door, she turned back to look at Xiao Xuan, her lips pursed in a wide pout.

Yao Ye pulled her along the corridor, and Yao Yue couldn't help but speak.

"Sis, what was his attitude like? You talked to him for ages and he only replied with one word, and then asked if you were done talking. He really doesn't respect you at all."

Yao Ye looked at her.

Why should he even care about me?

Yao Yue was stunned for a moment.

"He's a seventh-grade alchemist and an eight-star Dou Huang. Even my grandfather treats him with respect. What am I, a princess, in his eyes?"

Yaoyue was speechless.

Yao Ye withdrew her gaze and continued walking forward, while Yao Yue followed behind her, her lips still pursed.

Although her sister's words made sense, she still felt that Xiao Xuan was too arrogant.

……

Shortly after the auction ended, the door to the VIP room was opened again.

Jia Xingtian walked in, followed by two guards. Tengshan immediately bowed when he saw him.

Jia Xingtian nodded, his gaze falling on Xiao Xuan.

"Is this Young Master Xiao?"

Xiao Xuan looked at him without saying anything.

Jia Xingtian walked up to him.

"I, the old man, will add Xing Tian."

Xiao Xuan nodded.

Jia Xingtian took out a scroll from his storage ring and handed it over.

"Young Master Xiao, this is a small token of my appreciation: a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill, Wind and Thunder Palm."

Xiao Xuan took the scroll, unfolded it, and glanced at it. It was the Xuan-rank high-level fighting skill, Wind and Thunder Palm.

He nodded and put the scroll into his storage ring.

……

After Jia Xingtian left, Xiao Xuan sat in a chair and heard the system's voice in his mind.
