Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 104 The Auction (Part 2)

As her voice faded, another graceful young woman in a cheongsam walked through the inner passage carrying a silver tray, which she then placed on the auction stage.

"This is the first item in our auction today." Ya Fei's elegant figure and beautiful eyes swept over the crowd. It has to be admitted that her temperament, accentuated by the cheongsam, was enough to make any man's heart flutter.

As for the experience, only Xiao Yan has ever truly understood it.

Meanwhile, in the VIP room, Xiao Yan quietly watched the alluring woman on the auction stage.

A bold idea suddenly popped into Xiao Yan's mind: tonight we can play a uniform play (ω).

Ya Fei, who was in the room, had no idea that Xiao Yan was brewing another mischievous scheme.

She gently lifted the red cloth with her jade-like hand and opened an exquisite jade box.

As the fragrant aroma of medicine wafted over, a glittering golden pill appeared in everyone's sight.

"A sixth-grade elixir, the Imperial Supreme Pill!"

Her alluring, mature voice immediately caused a stir among the audience.

Even the old monster of the royal family, Jia Xingtian, had his pupils shrink at this sight.

The Royal Extreme Pill can directly increase the strength of a Dou Huang powerhouse by one or even two stars. In addition, it can also strengthen muscles and bones.

Although it can only be taken once in a lifetime, it is still a great opportunity for a Douhuang powerhouse.

"Royal Ultimate Pill, starting price: three million gold coins, each bid must be at least ten thousand!" Ya Fei gracefully tapped the small hammer on the sandalwood table with her jade-like hand.

"Six million! I'll offer six million!"

"Six million for the Imperial Elixir? I'll offer eight million!" The crowd went wild.

This auction was almost the most grand auction held by the Mittel family in the last decade or so. The attendees were not only from the Gamma Empire, but also powerful figures from other surrounding countries.

There were no fewer than ten Dou Huang level experts at the entire auction.

These Douhuang powerhouses originally came with the intention of watching the excitement, but the very first item up for auction drove them crazy.

At their level, unless one has exceptional talent, it takes more than ten years or even several decades to advance to the next star.

The appearance of a single Royal Extreme Pill is enough to save them decades of arduous cultivation.

"Thirteen million gold coins." The aged voice rang out, causing the group of people to sit down.

The one who spoke was Jia Xingtian. As the host and a peak Douhuang expert, the other experts were somewhat unwilling after Jia Xingtian spoke, but they had no choice but to restrain themselves a little.

"This old man is already at the peak of Dou Huang, what does he need the Huangji Pill for?" Several Dou Huang experts cursed inwardly. However, after this experience, they also understood that there were indeed many good things at this auction.

Typically, auction houses use rare and precious items as a gimmick for their first auction, but using a single Huangji Pill as a gimmick means that many people have never even seen one in their entire lives.

"Don't worry, everyone. There's more than one Royal Extreme Pill."

Ya Fei remained calm, a faint smile still on her face, but she took a deep breath as she turned away in a gloomy manner.

What does thirteen million gold coins mean? It's almost the entire annual income of the Gama Empire—not profit, but revenue.

And this was just an appetizer. She couldn't help but look towards Xiao Yan's private room, but unfortunately, she couldn't see Xiao Yan smiling inside.

"Next item for auction: a sixth-grade elixir, the Battle Spirit Pill!"

After the second item was presented, Ya Fei's gavel fell again.

"Starting bid: two million; minimum increment: ten thousand!"

"Whoosh!" This time, it was the Dou Wang powerhouses' turn to be restless.

The allure of the Battle Spirit Pill to them is no less than that of the Imperial Extreme Pill to the Battle Emperors.

"Three million!"

"Four million!"

The powerful fighters in the VIP box all made bids, and the deal was finally completed for 6.5 million.

At this moment, the former "big shots" of the capital city who were sitting in the lobby on the first floor looked at each other in bewilderment. They seemed to finally understand why they could only sit on the first floor.

This auction was never intended for poor people like them.

Any single item could bankrupt their family.

After the Battle Spirit Pill, cultivation techniques and combat skills finally appeared.

But the quality of these techniques and combat skills is still enough to get people's blood pumping.

"Mid-level Xuan-rank combat skill: 'Thirteen Blades of Soaring Clouds,' 800,000 gold coins, sold." As Ya Fei's voice fell, a man on the first floor, who had some influence in both the political and business circles of the Jia Ma Empire, smiled.

"We people on the first floor are finally starting to feel involved."

But the third Spirit Pill that followed still left them speechless.

After careful inventory, these people discovered that the lowest grade of the pills sold at the auction was actually a Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill.

This made them even more apprehensive.

Since the start of the auction, three Royal Extreme Pills and ten Battle Spirit Pills have been sold.

The wealth accumulated here has reached an unimaginable level.

"Everyone," Ya Fei's voice rose higher and higher with the auction.

"Next up is the highlight of this auction."

A blush of excitement appeared on her usually mature and composed face.

Clearly, for an auctioneer, being able to sell so many treasures and handle such a huge amount of money is a sense of accomplishment in itself.

She gently lifted the red silk cloth covering the silver tray, revealing a jade box inside, and announced loudly, "The last pill, a sixth-grade pill, the Breakthrough Pill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the auction hall fell into a brief silence, followed by a tsunami of discussion.

"It's actually a Breakthrough Pill! This thing is priceless to a peak Dou Huang level expert."

"Yes, the Imperial Extreme Pill is good, but it is still much worse than the Breakthrough Pill. If one takes this pill, there is hope that one can break through to become a Dou Zong powerhouse."

In the numerous VIP boxes, a group of Dou Huang powerhouses began to breathe rapidly. Even without the Emperor Extreme Pill, as long as they had enough lifespan to endure arduous cultivation, they would eventually reach the peak of Dou Huang.

However, without the Breakthrough Pill, no one knows if they will ever have the chance to reach the Dou Zong realm in their lifetime.

Don't underestimate the difference between Dou Huang and Dou Zong, which may seem small. That one-line gap is actually greater than the difference between Dou Wang and Dou Ling.

"Breakthrough Pill, starting price: eight million gold coins, minimum increment: ten thousand gold coins."

As soon as Ya Fei finished speaking, the voices of Dou Huang powerhouses echoed from various private rooms.

"Ten million!"

"Fifteen million!"

Prices continue to soar, and in the royal private box, Jia Xingtian's expression changes.

He suddenly regretted buying the Imperial Pill. If he insisted on bidding for the Breakthrough Pill now, he would probably squander all the royal family's savings accumulated over the years.

But if you don't buy it, you'll miss out on this opportunity.

Just as he was hesitating, a soul fluctuation suddenly reached his ears.

His expression changed instantly, followed by a look of wild joy.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Yan." Jia Xingtian clasped his hands and bowed in a certain direction.

"Eighteen million." He remained unmoved as he watched the prices in the various private rooms increase.

Just then, a dense burst of lightning-attribute battle aura suddenly erupted from one of the private rooms.

"Heh heh, this Breaking Sect Pill is too precious for your Mittel family to handle."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared and shot towards Ya Fei on the auction stage.
