Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Xiao Yi also noticed Xiao Zhan's tense expression.

He immediately raised his hand and tugged at Xiao Zhan's sleeve, saying:

"Uncle, this Wind Slash Technique really isn't suitable for me!"

"My fighting spirit is fire-attribute, which is really incompatible with this wind-attribute technique!"

At this moment, Xiao Yi was genuinely afraid that Xiao Zhan would use the Phoenix Scroll Technique.

After all, the starting bid of 200,000 gold coins was no small sum, and Xiao Yi really didn't want the Xiao family to spend so much money because of him.

If the cultivation technique were useful, that would be understandable, but neither he nor Xiao Yan would be able to use it after acquiring it.

However, Xiao Zhan did not say anything, but patted Xiao Yi and smiled slightly. His expression seemed to tell Xiao Yi that everything was under his control.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's expression, Xiao Yi didn't say anything more.

However, he turned his attention back to Xiao Yan, the man in black robes, in the corner upstairs.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's gaze was also fixed on the Wind Sweep Technique on the auction floor, completely unaware that Xiao Yi was staring at him.

As Ya Fei smiled slightly on the stage, the auction for the Wind and Rain Technique officially began!

Galebi and Obapa had clearly been waiting for this whirlwind technique.

As soon as the auction began, they couldn't help but start raising the price immediately.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

The two men kept raising the price, neither willing to give up just like that.

On the contrary, Xiao Zhan, who had been so confident just moments before, did not raise the price at all, but instead stared coldly at the reel on the stage.

Just when Xiao Yi thought Xiao Zhan had taken his advice and was preparing to give up bidding for the scroll.

Xiao Zhan suddenly shouted:

"The Xiao family, 500,000!"

The moment the price of 500,000 was announced, the venue fell silent.

Xiao Yi stared wide-eyed at Xiao Zhan, completely bewildered.

Is a Xuan-rank cultivation technique really worth 500,000?

Most importantly, the Xiao family doesn't have anyone suitable to cultivate this technique!

In particular, Nagarebi and Obapa looked at each other, quite puzzled by Xiao Zhan's actions.

However, the high price of 500,000 gold coins still made the two of them hesitate.

After much deliberation, the two decided to give up bidding for the Wind Sweep Technique.

With both Galebi and Obapa giving up, the rest of the people present naturally didn't have the strength to continue bidding against Xiao Zhan.

As Ya Fei gently slammed her wooden hammer down, Xiao Zhan successfully bid for the high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique, Wind Sweep Technique, for 500,000 gold coins.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yi with great tenderness, then whispered:

"Yi'er, how could I not know that your fire-attribute battle aura is incompatible with this Wind Whirl Technique..."

"However, the Xiao family currently lacks any truly outstanding cultivation techniques. Although the Wind Sweep Technique is a wind-attribute technique, it is ultimately only a high-level Xuan-rank technique!"

"If you ever have the chance to leave Wutan City and encounter a fire-attribute cultivation technique that suits you, you can exchange this Wind Sweep Technique for it!"

Xiao Zhan was extremely patient, and his voice was extremely gentle. He explained to Xiao Yi word by word, revealing the real reason why he had taken down the Wind and Swirl Technique.

"Uncle, isn't 500,000 gold coins a bit too expensive...?"

"I…"

Xiao Yi stammered a little, after all, he had already resolved the matter of the cultivation technique, and the Wind Sweep Technique would be of no use to him now.

Xiao Zhan's face still held that extremely gentle smile:

"Five hundred thousand gold coins is nothing; the Xiao family can afford it..."

"You are the hope of our Xiao family. We can't afford to mistreat you, even if we might mistreat someone else!"

"Consider this Wind Spell a gift from your uncle..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi felt a slight pang of sadness.

Xiao Zhan may not be very strong, but his character is truly impeccable.

Although Xiao Yi was not his biological son, he treated him like one.

Therefore, Xiao Yi was very moved by Xiao Zhan's actions.

……

As Xiao Zhan left the auction house, he had spent a considerable amount of money but had acquired two extremely valuable treasures.

In Xiao Zhan's view, that was also a very good deal.

He gave the Foundation Establishment Elixir to Xiao Yan and the Wind Sweep Technique to Xiao Yi.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan handed the scroll to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi knew that this was Xiao Zhan's good intention, so he did not refuse.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Xiao!"

Xiao Yi thanked him very respectfully, and then put the scroll into his storage ring.

"By the way, Uncle Xiao, I have some things to attend to, so I won't be going back to the Xiao family with you yet..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan nodded but did not press the matter further.

After all, in Xiao Zhan's eyes, Xiao Yi was finally grown up and deserved some privacy.

Watching Xiao Zhan's departing figure, Xiao Yi flashed away, but didn't go far.

Instead, they waited at the back door of the Mittel auction house.

A moment later, Xiao Yan, dressed in a black robe, strode out from the back door of the auction house.

Upon seeing Xiao Yan appear, Xiao Yi immediately followed.

Xiao Yan seemed to realize that someone was following him, so he quickened his pace and soon widened the distance between himself and Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi understood that Xiao Yan was deliberately hiding his identity by wearing a black robe, so he didn't call out to Xiao Yan, but simply sped up to catch up with him.

In order to prevent the Mittel family from seeing him in contact with the man in black, Xiao Yi also deliberately wore a large black robe to conceal his identity.

After all, since Xiao Yan consigned pills to the Mittel Auction House today, the Mittel family must already believe that Xiao Yan is an alchemist.

If a shrewd woman like Ya Fei were to see Xiao Yi having any contact with the man in black, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Xiao Yi was also very careful.

When Xiao Yi finally caught up with Xiao Yan in an alley, Xiao Yan's figure had already disappeared.

"Who are you? And why are you following me...?"

Xiao Yan's figure disappeared, but an old voice suddenly rang out in the alley.

However, before Xiao Yi could remove his black robe and answer, a chilling white flame suddenly attacked.

Wherever the flames passed, space suddenly distorted.

Just as the flames were about to touch Xiao Yi, a faint light suddenly flashed on the storage ring on Xiao Yi's finger.

Immediately, a beam of light shot out, directly blasting away the pale white flames.

In just that instant, Yao Lao's expression within Xiao Yan's storage ring changed drastically:

"What terrifying soul power!"

"This person is no ordinary opponent. Little Yanzi, let's go!"

The old man's voice suddenly rang in Xiao Yan's mind.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan did not hesitate for a moment and immediately prepared to run away.

Xiao Yi spoke up, "Ancestor, please show mercy..."

Immediately, Xiao Yi turned his head and scanned his surroundings to make sure no one was around. Then, he quickly took off his black robe and shouted in the direction from which the flames had come:

"Little Yanzi, no need to hide! It's me!"

Hearing Xiao Yi's familiar voice, Xiao Yan, who had been about to run away, stopped in his tracks, somewhat incredulous.

"Brother Yi!?"
