Chapter 46 Unbridled
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
morning.
Xiao Zheng had just finished his cultivation for the day when there was a knock on the door.
A respectful voice rang out.
"Is Mr. Xiao there? I'm from Mittel Auction House, here to deliver your invitation."
Xiao Zheng heard that it was people from the Mittel Auction House outside the door, and he was not surprised that they knew where he lived.
After all, both Obapa and Xiao Zhan had been here before, so how could Mittel Auction House not know?
But what's the deal with this invitation?
Xiao Zheng walked to the door, opened it, and saw a young servant standing outside.
Just then, the door to the next room opened, and Little Fairy Doctor came out. Upon seeing Xiao Zheng, she greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, Brother Xiao Zheng."
Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded to Little Fairy Doctor.
The young servant handed an invitation to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng took the invitation and looked at it, then exclaimed in surprise, "An invitation to an auction?"
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor looked curious, walked over to Xiao Zheng, glanced at the invitation, and then said to the young servant, "Didn't your auction house publicly advertise this a couple of days ago?"
"Why did you suddenly switch to an invitation-only system?"
The young servant lowered his voice and said, "Miss, the auction has added high-level combat skills at the last minute, so it has been changed to an invitation system, only inviting distinguished guests with sufficient strength and wealth."
Only invite distinguished guests with sufficient power and financial resources?
Oh……
It seems that Consort Ya knows about his affairs and is trying to win him over.
Xiao Zheng shook his head slightly, not taking the matter to heart. What he was most concerned about now was the high-level combat technique the servant had mentioned.
His purpose in coming to Wutan City was to find high-level combat techniques.
Now, he has the cultivation technique; all he lacks is the combat skill.
Xiao Zheng put away the invitation and nodded, saying, "I understand."
The young servant bowed and said, "In that case, I will take my leave."
"Wait a minute."
Xiao Zheng called out to the servant.
He has already added the Thunderclap Meridian Tempering Technique he obtained from the Obama family to his panel. The original version of the technique is no longer of any use, so he might as well sell it at the auction house for gold coins.
Xiao Zheng then said, "Take me to see Consort Ya; I have something to sell."
The young servant was taken aback for a moment, then quickly bowed and led the way: "Mr. Xiao, please follow me."
Xiao Zheng gave Little Fairy Doctor a "go" look and then left with the young servant.
After a while.
Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor arrived at the Mittel Auction House.
Inside a room.
Here, Xiao Zheng met Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of Mittel, who was quite popular in the original work.
This woman was indeed as described in the original work: charming, alluring, and captivating.
Ya Fei was clearly surprised by Xiao Zheng's sudden visit, and a hint of astonishment flashed in her beautiful eyes.
She looked Xiao Zheng up and down: "I have long heard that Mr. Xiao is a promising young man. Seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."
After saying that, Ya Fei turned her gaze to Little Fairy Doctor beside her: "This must be the young guard who's rumored to be by Mr. Xiao's side, right?"
"To be able to kill a three-star Grand Dou Master at such a young age, and to be so handsome, truly outstanding in both talent and appearance."
Little Fairy Doctor smiled faintly, said nothing, and simply stood quietly beside Xiao Zheng, playing the role of a maid.
"Miss Yafei, you're too kind."
Xiao Zheng got straight to the point, "I've come today because I have something I'd like to entrust to the auction house for sale."
Before he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and an ancient-looking manual was tossed onto the table beside him.
The cover of the manual reads "Thunderclap Meridian Tempering Technique" in large characters.
Ya Fei's gaze fell on the manual, and her pupils contracted slightly.
She recognized it at a glance as the Obama family's signature martial art, and her heart was slightly moved.
This kid just wiped out the Obama family, and now he's selling their clan's secret cultivation technique. He's really shameless.
However, the Obama family is now a thing of the past, so no one will bother this kid anymore.
Ya Fei withdrew her gaze and smiled at Xiao Zheng, "No problem, I will arrange for this cultivation technique to be auctioned at tomorrow's auction."
Xiao Zheng nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered the mountain of Yellow-Rank Battle Techniques in his storage space. So he added, "Oh right, I still have some things to sell."
With a series of wave of his hand, manuals fell like snowflakes, instantly covering most of the tabletop, densely packed with Yellow-rank combat techniques and cultivation methods.
Upon seeing this, Ya Fei's lips twitched. How did this kid have so many martial arts techniques?
Her gaze swept over the cultivation manuals, and she spotted a few that looked familiar—she immediately guessed where these manuals came from after they were sold to her.
However, Ya Fei had no interest in pitying a family that had already been wiped out. She gave a professional smile and said, "There are too many of these combat techniques. If they were all auctioned off at once, it would inevitably lead to a devaluation of the market, which would be a losing proposition."
"I have two options here, Mr. Xiao, would you like to hear them?"
Xiao Zheng nodded.
Ya Fei said, "The first option is to auction it off in stages and gradually realize the cash, but that would take a long time."
"The second option is for me to buy it directly at market price, in one package, so you don't have to make multiple trips."
Without hesitation, Xiao Zheng replied, "I'll choose the second option. Yellow-rank combat skills aren't worth much, and I'm too lazy to wait."
Consort Ya nodded and immediately summoned a maid to count the number.
After a flurry of activity, Ya Fei announced the price: "The total is 28 gold coins. What do you think, Mr. Xiao?"
"Can."
Xiao Zheng waved his hand dismissively, "Let's settle the payment together tomorrow when the Thunderclap Meridian Tempering Technique is sold."
Ya Fei said no problem.
Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Zheng's mind.
He is now a Grand Master, it's time for him to try and become a Rank 3 Alchemist.
Although he initially became an alchemist just to make money, his status as a third-grade alchemist made him a figure of importance in the Dou Qi Continent, and he might come in very handy in the future.
However, he did not intend to refine the common Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill, but instead set his sights on the Grade Three Poison Pill, the Bone-Corroding Pill.
This elixir can not only help him break through to the alchemist rank, but its potent poison can also further enhance Little Fairy Doctor's strength, making it a win-win situation.
Xiao Zheng asked, "Miss Ya Fei, do you have paper and pen? I need to buy a batch of medicinal herbs."
Ya Fei already knew Xiao Zheng's identity as an alchemist, so she wasn't surprised that Xiao Zheng wanted to buy medicinal herbs.
She took out paper and pen and handed them to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng wrote down all the medicinal materials needed for the Bone-Corroding Pill.
Finally, he also wrote down the ingredients for the Intestinal Poison. The Intestinal Poison is not a pill-type poison, so although he cannot use it for his future advancement, it can be given to Little Fairy Doctor after it is refined.
After Xiao Zheng finished writing, he handed the note to Ya Fei.
Ya Fei took the slip of paper, her eyes scanning over the names of the medicinal herbs on it, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised.
Why does this medicinal herb look a bit strange?
This doesn't seem like the kind of thing used for making ordinary medicines...
Ya Fei was very curious about what kind of medicine Xiao Zheng wanted to refine, but this was Xiao Zheng's secret, and since she had no relationship with Xiao Zheng, she naturally wouldn't ask any further questions.
Ya Fei pondered, "These medicinal herbs aren't too difficult to obtain. How much does Mr. Xiao need?"
"The more the better."
Xiao Zheng said calmly, "How about this, let's use the combined selling price of those combat techniques and the selling price of the Thunderclap Meridian Tempering Technique as the upper limit for purchasing materials. Get as much as you can."
Ya Fei was startled, as this was a considerable expense, but she still nodded and replied, "Alright, I will have someone prepare it as soon as possible to ensure that Mr. Xiao can use it without delay."
Thank you.
Xiao Zheng said no more, gave Little Fairy Doctor a wink, and the two turned and left the room.
They had barely left when the door was pushed open and an elderly man with white hair walked in. It was none other than Gu Ni, the alchemist from the Mittel Auction House.
As soon as Gu Ni arrived, he was immediately attracted by the mountain of fighting techniques and manuals piled up on the table, and the expression on his face became quite interesting!
