Chapter 340 Miter Auction House

When Xiao Meng returned to the Xiao family, it was lunch time.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Meng, who was acting a little sneaky, and called her: "Xiao Meng, you're back... where did you go?"

"Uh... ah... Master Xiao Yan, I just went out for a walk." Xiao Meng answered with a guilty conscience.

Xiao Yan felt that he couldn't understand the Xiao family. First, Xun'er's identity seemed more mysterious than he had expected, and her background was more terrifying.

Now even the maid Xiao Meng, who he had picked up and had been following him, has become mysterious, and seems to have an unusual identity.

"How much did you see about that day?" Xiao Yan asked.

"No, I didn't see anything. I didn't see the ghost grandfather or anything like that. I only saw Master Xiao Yan and Miss Xun'er being affectionate..." Xiao Meng shook her head like a rattle.

Xiao Yan: "..."

After a long silence, he said, "Please keep the secret for me, Xiao Meng. Don't tell anyone. This is a secret between the two of us."

"Yes, I won't tell you... I won't tell you even if Miss Xun'er and the master ask." Xiao Meng nodded heavily.

After Xiao Meng left, Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind, "Your maid is indeed strange. I always feel that she gives me a familiar feeling."

"Maybe you have met her clan members before?" Xiao Yan guessed.

"It's possible."

Yao Chen's soul was not completely controlled by Amon. He still retained his self. Now his relationship with the spirit insect is like the ancient sheep in the ancient clan whose soul was forcibly blended with a soul clan member by the Void Devouring Flame.

The ancient sheep is usually the ancient sheep. He will work hard for the affairs of the ancient clan and can't see any flaws. But when the backhand is activated, he will become a member of the soul clan and serve the soul clan.

The difference is that the parasitism of the spirit worm is reversible, and Yao Chen has noticed it, but he can't find a solution for a while, and the spirit worm has not yet caused any harm, so he can only let it go.

The fusion of Gu Yang is irreversible, and he himself did not notice it. Only the soul clan personality hidden in the dark knows it.

Of course, this does not mean that Amon's spirit worm parasitism is not good, but that the gap between him and Yao Chen when he parasitized is too big, so he can only do this. Gu Yang's soul fusion was done by Xuwu Tunyan himself.

Xiao Yan did not dwell on Xiao Meng's affairs for too long. In his heart, she is one of the most trustworthy people.

He immediately devoted himself to cultivation. After all, time waits for no one. If you want to pass the coming-of-age ceremony smoothly, you have to seize every minute and every second.

Days passed, and as time went by, the foundation-building spirit liquid prepared by Yao Lao for Xiao Yan was quickly absorbed by him.

Three years of cynicism made Xiao Yan realize how important strength is in this Douqi continent.

Although the days of hard training were boring, Xiao Yan was happy with it because the results were also remarkable. The feeling of improving his strength bit by bit made him unable to stop.

While using the foundation-building spirit liquid to assist Douqi training, Xiao Yan also practiced the Xuan-level advanced fighting skill "Eight Extreme Collapse" obtained from Yao Lao.

However, this kind of life did not last long, and Xiao Yan had to stop. The foundation-building spirit liquid was used up.

He did not have enough money to prepare another one, and he was ashamed to continue to borrow money from Xun'er, and he did not want to expose Yao Lao's existence to his father, so he came up with a method of using inferior medicinal materials instead, refining inferior foundation-building spirit liquid and auctioning it, and then buying qualified medicinal materials for his own use after getting money.

The color of high-quality foundation-building spirit liquid is crystal emerald, while the inferior one is mottled green. Yao Lao looked at this obviously lower-grade foundation-building spirit liquid and was slightly disgusted.

"Here, it's done."

Xiao Yan quickly put it into the white jade bottle he had bought in advance. Yao Lao looked down on this thing, but Xiao Yan treasured it very much. Before he met Yao Lao, even when his talent was not lost, he had never used such a high-end thing.

"Hehe, look at you... Is this kind of rubbish worth treating like this?" Yao Lao said disdainfully.

"Hehehe..." Xiao Yan just smiled foolishly with the bottle in his arms.

Without delay, he put on a black robe that had been prepared long ago and wrapped himself tightly.

The Mitel Auction House is the largest auction house in Wutan City, affiliated with the Mitel family, the richest in the Gama Empire.

In the empire, the Mitel family, the Nalan family, and the Intel family are collectively known as the Gama Three Giants. They are involved in the business, military, and political circles of the empire, and their power is not comparable to that of a small family like the Xiao family.

As a result, the auction house has a transcendent status in Wutan City, and no one dares to take advantage of it even if it is profitable.

Without paying attention to the guards at the door who looked at him with caution, he walked straight in, glanced at the magnificent hall, and walked towards the treasure appraisal room.

Knowing that the distinguished guest was coming, Ya Fei, who had been prepared for a long time, pinched the monocle on her right eye and showed a charming smile.

Her soul was parasitized by an Amon clone with very little will. The spirit worm did not completely suppress her consciousness, and her situation was similar to that of the ancient sheep of the soul clan.

Although on the surface, she was still the same Ya Fei, and there was no difference between her words and deeds except that she loved wearing monocles, but her underlying thinking had been occupied by Amon.

Xiao Yan looked at this charming and charming woman, and felt some movement in his lower body. He quickly abandoned the distracting thoughts and cleared his mind.

Ya Fei glanced at his lower body vaguely and chuckled.

Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed, and quickly contacted Yao Lao in his heart, signaling him to speak.

"Haha, the little guy's concentration needs to be improved..." Yao Lao's ridicule made Xiao Yan feel even more embarrassed, and he wanted to dig a hole with his toes to bury himself.

Xiao Yan put the medicine bottle on the table, and an old voice came from the black robe:

"This is the foundation-building spirit liquid, which can increase the speed of practicing Dou Zhi Qi, but only those below Dou Zhe can use it."

Ya Fei showed just the right amount of surprise: "Wait a minute, old man, Master Gu Ni from our auction house is on his way."

In the northwest corner of the continent, the practice of Dou Zhi Qi can only be done in a conventional way, and it cannot be accelerated by using pills. This is common knowledge.

Now there is a drug that claims to be used at the Dou Zhi Qi stage, so Ya Fei must react.

The old man with gray hair and green clothes quickly came out. He wore a monocle on his right eye and his face was slightly arrogant.

The embroidery on the chest of his clothes was not a golden star symbolizing fighting spirit cultivation, but a medicine furnace with two silver ripples. This is the symbol of a second-grade alchemist.

Gu Ni took the white jade bottle and verified it. After confirming that it was correct, the arrogance on his face was restrained a little:

"The spiritual liquid has reached the second-grade level. What this gentleman said is true."

Ya Fei smiled and said, "Old sir, are you going to auction it?"

"Well, please arrange the fastest auction time for me."

Ya Fei's eyes flashed slightly, and she asked, "Uncle Gu Ni, how much do you think this bottle of spiritual liquid can be sold for?"

"It is estimated to be 30,000 to 40,000 gold coins, but if the competition is fierce, it may be 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins." Gu Ni responded after thinking for a while.

Ya Fei said with a sweet smile: "Old sir, if you are in a hurry to sell it, then can you sell it to me? Someone in the family just needs it, and Ya Fei will definitely not let you suffer a loss? How about 100,000 gold coins?"

Ten... 100,000... Xiao Yan almost stood up excitedly, but he still suppressed his inner emotions well.

Yao Lao's slightly teasing voice came, "Look at your achievements... Only 100,000 gold coins... But it is indeed a bit high, it seems that she wants to befriend you. This woman is not an easy person to deal with... Xiao Yan, you can't control yourself. If you have any thoughts about her, don't let her swallow you to pieces."

Xiao Yan also learned from Yao Lao's occasional impropriety, and answered in his mind with a bit of a smile: "I don't have that idea... Let's quickly make a deal if the price is right."

"Hehe, I am an old man, but I have taken advantage of you. You can help me prepare some medicinal materials, and the cost will be deducted from this money. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Yao Lao said with a smile.

The Mitel Auction House has a stable supply of goods and huge power. After the other party showed goodwill, Yao Lao naturally didn't bother to look for others. Cooperating with them is the most time-saving and labor-saving method.

However, one must be on guard against others. Yao Lao deliberately added a few more when reporting the names of the required medicines.

Although the foundation-building spirit liquid cannot be made by knowing the materials, the heat, the timing of the fusion of the medicinal materials, etc. are all very important.

Wu Meng's parasite is not a member of the Mitel family stationed here, so he didn't show up just now.

After Xiao Yan left with the materials, he slowly left.

Ya Fei smiled and said, "Why do I feel that you planned to do this from the beginning? It has nothing to do with Xiao Meng's request..."

Wu Meng stroked his monocle and smiled:

"Yes, this is what was planned... It has nothing to do with Xiao Meng's request. So I agreed to her, in fact, it was just a matter of going with the flow."

The Mitel family itself needs to befriend Xiao Yan, and the result of doing so is that Xiao Yan has a good impression of the Mitel family.

Xiao Yan returned home, took off his hood, and couldn't stop smiling.

With these 100,000 gold coins, his next cultivation resources were guaranteed.

Xiao Meng came over hopping, like a butterfly fluttering up and down.

"Master Xiao Yan, are you going to sell things? Xiao Meng saw you enter the auction house when I was shopping." Xiao Meng said.

"How did you recognize me?" Xiao Yan's face changed slightly, thinking that his hiding was not in place.

Xiao Meng said with a smile: "I recognized you at a glance, even if you were turned into ashes, I would recognize you..."

This metaphor... Xiao Yan's mouth twitched.

"Why are you sure that I went to sell things instead of buying things?"

"Because Master Xiao Yan, you have no money... Isn't the old man an alchemist, so I must have gone to sell pills." Xiao Meng answered without any scheming.

Xiao Yan was silent immediately. He thought his disguise was flawless, but he was exposed as soon as he got home.

"Master Xiao Yan, how was your harvest?"

"Hehe, it's pretty good. I'm not short of money anymore!"

Xiao Yan also showed the youthful vigor that was rare: "Xiao Meng, what do you want to eat? I'll take you to a feast!"

"I like whatever Master Xiao Yan likes." Xiao Meng, who thought she was helping, smiled happily.

"Brother Xiao Yan, why don't you invite me to your feast?" A faint voice came.

Xiao Yan suddenly felt a chill on his back.
