What a great older brother he is!
After stabilizing his cultivation, Xiao Feng got up, opened the door, and headed towards the courtyard where Xiao Zhan lived.
When Xiao Zhan sensed the lingering Dou Qi fluctuations on Xiao Feng's body, he couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Feng'er, you've broken through?"
"Ok!"
Xiao Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "I just broke through to the second-star Dou Zhe this morning. I owe it all to the Nourishing Spirit Pill that Xiao Yanzi gave me; otherwise, I wouldn't have broken through so quickly."
"Good! Good! Good!"
Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Feng's shoulder forcefully and said, "As expected of the prodigy of our Xiao family!"
It's no exaggeration to say that Xiao Zhan has smiled more times in the past two weeks than he has in the entire past year.
Since learning that Xiao Yan had been favored by a mysterious alchemist and had not only become the alchemist's disciple but also recovered his cultivation talent, Xiao Zhan finally got rid of a worry.
Xiao Yan's cultivation has now recovered to the fourth level of Dou Qi, which is much faster than his cultivation speed three years ago.
What made Xiao Zhan happiest was that the two brothers, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yan, loved each other and helped each other.
Back when Xiao Yan's cultivation talent hadn't yet caused problems, the relationship between the two brothers wasn't as harmonious as it is now.
Because Xiao Feng was born only half an hour earlier than Xiao Yan, and his cultivation talent was inferior to Xiao Yan's, Xiao Yan was very resentful of his older brother.
Furthermore, Xiao Feng's repeated complaints caused Xiao Yan to be beaten with rattan several times, further straining the relationship between the two brothers.
Back then, Xiao Yan was, to put it nicely, young and arrogant; to put it bluntly, he was conceited and disdainful of others.
It wasn't until Xiao Yan's cultivation level mysteriously regressed and he was ridiculed by others that Xiao Feng's unwavering protection of him over the years finally made Xiao Yan truly accept this older brother.
"Let's go! Feng'er, come with your father to the Mittel Auction House."
The reason Xiao Zhan asked Xiao Feng to go to the auction house with him was because the people from the Mittel Auction House had sent him an invitation in advance.
The gilded invitation contained an important note: the auction would feature a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique, specifically a wind-attribute technique.
Just like Xiao Feng, Xiao Zhan and his son both possessed wind-attribute fighting spirit, making this high-level Xuan-rank wind-attribute cultivation technique very attractive to them.
In particular, Xiao Feng had made a three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran. Although Xiao Zhan couldn't provide him with much help, he still hoped to provide him with the best cultivation techniques to minimize the gap between him and Nalan Yanran.
To be honest, Xiao Zhan didn't expect Xiao Feng to be able to defeat Nalan Yanran in the battle three years later; he just hoped that Xiao Feng wouldn't lose too badly.
It's not that Xiao Zhan boosted others' morale, but rather that Xiao Feng's cultivation talent and resources were inferior to Nalan Yanran's.
Xiao Feng was able to defeat Nalan Yanran earlier mainly because he was ruthless to himself, and Nalan Yanran lacked practical experience; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to win.
Nalan Yanran isn't stupid. After returning to Yunlan Sect, she will definitely try to increase her combat experience. If Xiao Feng wants to defeat her using the same method, it's nothing short of wishful thinking.

Chapter 12 Ya Fei
In the eyes of the Xiao family, Xiao Feng's ability to defeat Nalan Yanran against all odds and win two precious fourth-grade pills was enough to make them proud.
Even if Xiao Feng loses to Nalan Yanran three years later, it will still be a glorious defeat, and no one will think that he has brought shame to the Xiao family.
After all, Nalan Yanran is the young sect master of Yunlan Sect. Not only does she have a Dou Huang expert personally teaching her, but she can also take pills refined by Dan Wang Guhe.
Unless Xiao Feng has some kind of cheat code, how could he possibly defeat Nalan Yanran?
Led by Xiao Zhan, the two quickly arrived at the Mittel Auction House.
The Mittel Auction House is the largest auction house in Utan City, and it also belongs to the Mittel family, the wealthiest family in the Gama Empire!
The Mittel family has a long history, having developed in the Gama Empire for hundreds of years. Its businesses span various industries, and it is known as one of the three giants of Gama, along with the Nalan family and the Mu family.
Shortly after Xiao Feng and his group entered the auction house, Xiao Yan, dressed in a black robe, also followed them into the Mittel Auction House.
Xiao Yan was here because he was broke and wanted to sell some pills to make up for his losses.
The old master refined a total of three portions of Foundation Establishment Elixir and three Spirit Nourishing Pills.
Xiao Yan gave all the Spirit Nourishing Pills to Xiao Feng, while he kept the Foundation Establishment Elixir for his own use.
Each dose of Foundation Establishment Elixir is enough for Xiao Yan to use for about two months. He won't be able to use up so much Foundation Establishment Elixir in a short time, so he plans to sell two doses of Foundation Establishment Elixir to earn some gold coins.
After Master Gu Ni of the Mittel Auction House authenticated the Foundation Establishment Elixir, Xiao Yan, led by a maid from the auction house, arrived at the auction hall where the auction was being held.
As soon as he entered the auction hall, the surrounding light dimmed, and an overwhelming cacophony greeted him, causing Xiao Yan to frown.
Xiao Yan first found an inconspicuous corner to sit down, and then began to observe the situation in the auction hall.
The auction hall is very spacious; it doesn't feel crowded even if it can accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
At the very center of the auction hall, on the auction platform, stood a beautiful woman in a red dress, introducing the auction items to the crowd in a sweet, delicate voice.
Gazing at the voluptuous and alluring curves of the woman in the red dress, Xiao Yan couldn't help but mutter "vixen" under his breath.
As expected of the stunning beauty renowned throughout Utan City, Ya Fei is the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House!
Her mature and alluring charm has captivated countless men; it's likely that most of the guests present came specifically for her.
"Hmm? Father and Third Brother?"
When Xiao Yan noticed Xiao Zhan and Xiao Feng sitting in the front row, he couldn't help but show a somewhat surprised expression: "Could it be that they are also interested in this woman?"
wrong! ! !
Xiao Yan quickly dismissed the idea, because he noticed that not far from Xiao Feng and the others, people from the Jia Lie family and the Ao Ba family were sitting, and the patriarchs of the two families had also arrived.
Xiao Yan thought to himself, "Could it be that something at this auction is attracting them?"
After auctioning off her items, Ya Fei suddenly smiled and said, "Everyone, our auction house has just received a new item for auction, which I'm sure you'll all be interested in."
As soon as Consort Ya finished speaking, she raised her jade hand and waved it gently. A maid in green quickly carried a silver tray and walked to the auction stage.
On the silver tray were two white jade pill bottles.
Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, Ya Fei picked up a white jade elixir bottle and introduced it with a smile: "This is called Foundation Establishment Elixir, a second-grade elixir."
"..."
The entire auction hall was quiet for a moment, then began to buzz with discussion again.
Although pills are sold in Wutan City, they are mainly first-grade pills, and second-grade pills are quite rare.
"The most amazing thing about this thing is that it is only effective for people below the level of Dou Zhe. Taking a medicinal bath with this spiritual liquid can increase the cultivation speed of cultivators at the Dou Qi level by several times."
Ya Fei parted her red lips slightly and said in a voice that could melt anyone's bones, "If you all want your descendants to quickly become young fighting geniuses, then you definitely shouldn't miss this opportunity~"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's expression changed slightly.
Foundation Establishment Elixir is a unique elixir created by Yao Lao. Since it has appeared on the auction stage, it means that Xiao Yan's brat brother has also come.
"Miss Yafei, as a cultivator at the Dou Qi realm, it seems that the strength of your meridians cannot withstand the impact of the pill's power, right?"
Although Ya Fei's words were very appealing, some people still couldn't help but raise questions.
"This spiritual liquid has been personally appraised by Master Gu Ni and is a genuine second-grade pill. There will be absolutely no problem with it."
Ya Fei said without changing her expression, "If anyone really has problems after using this elixir, they can come to our Mittel Auction House to settle accounts."
Hearing that Consort Ya had said so, everyone felt relieved.
"The starting price for this elixir is eight thousand gold coins. It will be auctioned in two parts, with each bid increment not less than one hundred gold coins. Interested guests are welcome to place their bids."
Ya Fei's gaze swept around the hall, finally settling on the three clan leaders, who were clearly the most likely contenders for the Foundation Establishment Elixir.
"Eight thousand five hundred gold coins!"
"Nine thousand gold coins!"
"Ten thousand gold coins..."
As soon as Ya Fei finished speaking, the auction hall erupted in a chorus of bids, and the price was quickly raised to 15,000 gold coins.
When the bidding reached 18,000 gold coins, the bidding in the hall slowed down.
With his gray hair and aged face, Jialiebi slowly and deliberately said, "Twenty thousand gold coins!"
Seeing this, the head of the Oba family, Obapa, not to be outdone, shouted, "Twenty-two thousand gold coins!"
"Thirty thousand gold coins!"
Before Xiao Feng could react, Xiao Zhan suddenly spoke up, raising the price of Foundation Establishment Elixir to a new high.
Xiao Yan was also taken aback by Xiao Zhan's bid, and he showed a somewhat amused expression, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.
"Clan Chief Xiao truly has great courage!"
Jia Liebi sneered, "A mere 30,000 gold coins won't scare me. 31,000 gold coins!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Obapa called out again, "Thirty-one thousand five hundred gold coins!"
Just as Xiao Zhan was about to bid, Xiao Feng suddenly tugged at his sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Father, this spiritual liquid must have been made by Xiao Yanzi's master. Otherwise, Xiao Yanzi's cultivation speed wouldn't be so fast. Don't be a fool and become a sucker."
"..."
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Xiao Zhan's expression changed slightly, and he ultimately gave up his plan to continue bidding.
Thank you to reader "Bailanmoyu Zhenjun" for the 500 Qidian coins, and thank you to other readers for their donations and support.

Chapter 13 Wind Sweep
Without Xiao Zhan's involvement, the two bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir were auctioned off to Jialiebi and Aubapa for a high price of 38,000 gold coins respectively.
Ya Fei, who had witnessed the entire scene, looked at Xiao Feng with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Just now, Ya Fei's attention was mainly focused on the three clan leaders, so she naturally noticed that it was after Xiao Feng and Xiao Zhan finished whispering to each other that he gave up his plan to continue bidding.
Ya Fei couldn't help but be curious about what Xiao Feng had just said to Xiao Zhan.
Moreover, the news that Xiao Feng defeated Nalan Yanran and won two fourth-grade pills had already spread like wildfire in Wutan City, which would easily arouse people's curiosity.
Fortunately, Ya Fei was professional enough to quickly suppress her curiosity and said with a smile, "What will be auctioned next is the most anticipated item of this auction."
As soon as Ya Fei finished speaking, she bent down slightly and took out a silver plate from under the auction platform. On the silver plate was an ancient blue scroll.
Under the lamplight, the scroll emitted a faint bluish glow, appearing exceptionally mystical.
