Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 63 Weakened Version of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid

After entering Wutan City, Xiao Yan did not return to the Xiao family immediately as usual. Instead, he put on a black robe and walked around the neighborhood mysteriously for a few times before finally heading to the Mitel Auction House.

When Xiao Yan was a child, he had come here several times under the guidance of Xiao Zhan, but he didn't have much change at that time, and Xiao Zhan had basically prepared everything he needed to buy in advance. Naturally, he would not go to this den of money often.

Recalling the scene when Xiao Zhan acted as both a father and a mother to him in his childhood, Xiao Yan smiled knowingly, and then took out a crystal card from his arms.

"The crystal card my father gave me earlier was completely useless during my training, haha."

The boy rubbed the crystal card in his hand and wiped off the messy fingerprints on it.
"In that case, I'll use it to do something else."

Naturally, he wouldn't be polite about the things his father gave him.

Under the vigilant gaze of several fully armed guards at the door, Xiao Yan walked straight inside at a moderate pace.

As soon as he entered the club, Xiao Yan was quite surprised by the sudden change in temperature between the inside and outside. Since he refined the strange fire, his perception of temperature has become quite sharp, and he instantly realized the mystery.

This auction house probably contains some kind of strange treasure that regulates temperature.

Xiao Yan once again had a higher opinion of the Mitel Auction House. He did not choose to go directly into the auction house, but walked towards a sparsely populated room on the side. On the door of the room were three large golden characters "Treasure Appraisal Room".

Xiao Yan quietly rotated the ring in his hand and pushed the door open. He saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair beside the table with a somewhat bored look. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the figure wrapped in a black robe.

His brows wrinkled slightly, then he quickly put on a professional smile and said, "Sir, are you planning to appraise a treasure?"

"Hmm." A warm and old voice came from under the black robe, floating out.

Xiao Yan took two steps forward, casually took out a white jade bottle from his arms, and gently placed it on the table.

"This is?"

Seeing that the other party seemed unwilling to talk more, the middle-aged man immediately put away his previous laziness.

As an appraiser, he has worked at the Miter Auction House for many years. Generally speaking, people who come to appraise treasures will usually take the initiative to introduce the effects of the treasures to him and brag about them to the utmost.

Although this kind of casual gesture was not the first time he had seen it, it was also very rare. In his opinion, these people all had one thing in common -

That means you are quite confident in your treasure.

He carefully picked up the jade bottle, felt its smooth texture, and reconfirmed his thoughts. He put his nose close to it, sniffed the bottle mouth, and there was a hint of awe in his eyes.

This person might be an alchemist, but even if not, he must be a wealthy and powerful figure.
"Forgive my limited vision, may I ask, sir, what kind of elixir is this? What is its effect?"

The middle-aged man looked respectful and went straight to the point.

"Let's call this the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid. It can increase the speed of Dou Qi cultivation. However, it's only effective for those below the sixth level of Dou Qi."

"Hiss, can it increase the speed of cultivating intermediate-level Dou Qi?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was somewhat moved. Dou Qi could only be cultivated through self-cultivation. This had become common knowledge for almost everyone. Moreover, at this stage, cultivating the meridians in the body, if the drug was too strong, it would result in the tragic end of severing the meridians and the person's death.
"My spiritual liquid has no side effects and is extremely mild, so you can rest assured." Seeing that the other party had guessed his thoughts, the middle-aged man's expression became even more flattering. He carefully placed the white jade bottle back on the table and said respectfully, "Sir, could you please wait a moment? I'll ask Master Gu Ni from the auction house to come and identify the spiritual liquid."

"Well, hurry up." Waving his hand, Xiao Yan simply sat down on a chair beside him and closed his eyes to rest.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man hurried out of the room without delaying for a moment.

Keeping silent, Xiao Yan played with the crystal card in his palm from time to time, and did not choose to talk to Yao Lao. This is someone else's territory, and it is always right to be cautious.

After waiting in the room for a while, the middle-aged man came back again. He stood at the door and bowed slightly behind him.

The next moment, an old man with gray hair and dressed in green walked in from the door. The old man's face was flushed, and his clothes were faintly shining. On his ordinary face, there was an arrogance that was hard to conceal, showing his noble status as a pharmacist.

He first glanced at Xiao Yan who was not far away, then his eyes narrowed slightly. After nodding to Xiao Yan, he picked up the jade bottle and examined it carefully.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man on the side felt even more in awe of the mysterious man in black robe.

After a moment, Gu Ni's eyes first became confused, and finally turned into solemnity. For a moment, it was difficult to guess what he was thinking.

He turned to the middle-aged man and said, "The spiritual fluid is indeed effective. What this gentleman said before is true."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief and became even more flattering towards Xiao Yan: "Sir, your methods are truly unpredictable. This kind of spiritual medicine that can improve the Dou Qi stage must be of the second grade, right?"

Once the second-grade spiritual medicine is auctioned, he will be able to get a commission of at least hundreds of gold coins, which is enough to cover his salary for most of the month. Naturally, he is extremely happy.

But what he never expected was that Gu Ni beside him shook his head and said: "Although this elixir has a rare effect, it is still some distance away from the second grade. It can only be considered the best among the first grade."

"What? First rank?"

The middle-aged man frowned suddenly, and the awe in his heart immediately disappeared. The flattering look on his face also suddenly disappeared, and he regained his previous calmness.

No matter how rare the first-grade spiritual liquid is, it can only be sold for about a thousand gold coins at most. There are quite a few such items that are appraised by him on a daily basis.

It seems that this black-robed man is just a mystic, and I was almost fooled by him.
His expression changed. The middle-aged man first clasped his fists and bowed to Gu Ni beside him, then turned to Xiao Yan and said with a polite smile, "Haha. Sir, since we already know that the treasure you're auctioning is a first-grade elixir, we shouldn't waste Master Gu Ni's time any longer. How about this? Within the next two days, I will arrange the auction time for your spiritual liquid. After three days, you can come and collect the auction proceeds with this token. What do you think?"

"Three days? Do we have to wait that long?"

Xiao Yan had already seen the other party's ridiculous face-changing performance. He sneered and then casually said to Gu Ni, "Master Gu Ni, what do you think?"

Hearing the other party's insolent words, the middle-aged man frowned and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a chill coming from his neck.

He turned his head stiffly and looked behind him, only to see Gu Ni looking at him with an extremely cold gaze.

"Go arrange the auction immediately. If you dare to say anything more, you'll lose your job as an appraiser."
