Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 44 The Art of Beast Control: Beast Control Flame Seal

Beneath the black robe, an aged voice chuckled softly and said, "I wonder if the Mittel Auction House would be willing to cooperate with me in selling this Blood Clotting Powder? From now on, I will be responsible for refining this Blood Clotting Powder, while you will be responsible for selling it and providing the medicinal materials."

"Hehe, sir, you're too kind. It would be a pleasure for Mittel Auction House to cooperate with an alchemist like you." With her jade-like hands carefully picking up a jade bottle, Ya Fei smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling.

Xiao Yan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Ya Fei, his aged voice laughing, "Please help me prepare some of the medicinal herbs listed on this."

Ya Fei eagerly accepted the paper, quickly glanced at it, and then smiled and agreed.

Having learned her lesson last time, she dared not show any hesitation again.

However, a hint of surprise flashed across Ya Fei's beautiful eyes as she gazed at the fair hand that extended from the black robe.

Despite his aged voice, he possessed a pair of clean hands like a young man's. How did this alchemist maintain his skin?

"I don't care how it's sold, but what I need should be prepared as quickly as possible."

As soon as Yao Lao finished speaking, Xiao Yan's gaze pierced through the black cloak and fixed on the alluring, mature beauty beside him, who resembled a fox spirit.

Upon hearing Yao Lao's words, Ya Fei's pretty face lit up with joy: "Sir, rest assured, Mittel Auction House will do its utmost."

She beckoned a maid over, handed her the paper, and then instructed her to prepare quickly.

"Regarding this blood-clotting powder collaboration, the Mittel Auction House will be responsible for providing the medicinal materials and handling the sales. Of the proceeds, the old gentleman will receive 70%, and the remaining 30% will be used by the Mittel Auction House for 'greasing palms' (bribes). What do you think, sir?"

"Okay." The old apothecary chuckled and nodded.

Hearing this affirmative answer, Ya Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With the matter settled, Xiao Yan picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and waited quietly.

As for Ya Fei, whose long, slender legs were clad in black stockings, he tried his best not to look at her too much.

A moment later, watching the black-robed man walk out of the hall with a large pile of materials, Ya Fei finally relaxed completely.

Her voluptuous and exquisite body slumped weakly in the chair, looking like a curled-up fox, her languid appearance possessing a unique charm.

With her head pressed against the cold chair back, Ya Fei shook her head with a wry smile: "This old gentleman's alchemy skills are quite high, so why is he making such low-level things?"

Beside him, Gu Ni wore the same expression. He raised his hand and twirled the storage ring containing a large amount of blood-clotting powder: "Alchemists are human too. If they can refine so many things so quickly, the quality can't be too high."

Ya Fei pursed her rosy lips: "I think the old gentleman's purchase of the medicine cauldron, low-grade medicinal herbs, and tinder last time was more like taking on a new disciple."

"You mean this blood-clotting powder was made by his disciple?" Gu Ni paused, then shook his head. "That's impossible."

"Even Gu He, the number one alchemist in our Jia Ma Empire, couldn't have refined that many bottles in a single day when he was just learning alchemy for the first time, and each bottle was a masterpiece."

"If there really is such an alchemist, then their talent is truly heaven-defying," Gu Ni exclaimed.

"Talent? Don't we have a genius in Wutan City?" Ya Fei pouted.

Gu Ni naturally knew who Ya Fei was referring to, and nodded in admiration: "Young Master Xiao Yan of the Xiao family actually broke through to become a Dou Zhe just a few days ago, and he's only eleven years old! Such a cultivation speed is truly rare in the Jia Ma Empire over the past hundred years."

Thinking of the age gap between the two, Ya Fei rested her chin on her hand and sighed softly. She was still in the fighting spirit stage. It was truly infuriating to compare herself to others.

After leaving the Mittel Auction House, Xiao Yan entered a dark alley. With the help of Yao Lao's spatial power, he disappeared silently into the alley.

When Xiao Yan opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the cave where he had rested in the Monster Mountain Range.

The old apothecary appeared gracefully: "This place is too conspicuous. If we want to cultivate that fighting technique, we need to find a suitable place first."

Removing the black robe he was wearing, Xiao Yan shrugged: "Couldn't you just take me there directly, sir?"

"Little guy, don't be ungrateful. Bringing you directly to the Monster Mountain Range has already saved you a lot of effort."

The old apothecary looked up and glanced around. "This is the outer edge of the Monster Mountain Range, where there are many mercenaries and monsters. It would be too conspicuous to cultivate Earth-rank combat techniques here."

"We need to go deep into the Monster Mountain Range. Although the monsters there are stronger, not many mercenaries will venture deep into it. Also, since powerful monsters control a territory, as long as you choose a secluded spot, they generally won't notice you."

"We definitely need to find a better place to cultivate." Xiao Yan nodded, twirled his storage ring, took out the Xuanzhong Ruler, and focused his gaze ahead: "A magical beast is coming; it's the first Tier 1 magical beast."

"The same rule applies as last time. I won't intervene unless it's a life-or-death crisis." Yao Lao silently looked at Xiao Yan.

As they were speaking, a giant wolf appeared in Xiao Yan's line of sight.

The giant wolf was fiery red all over, as if surrounded by flames, and its fur was as smooth as silk, shining with a blazing light.

With a robust build and strong limbs, he exudes wildness and power. His sharp, cunning eyes reveal a burning savagery and a shrewd mind.

"A Tier 1 magical beast, a Blazing Wolf. Not bad, a fire-attribute magical beast. Perfect, I can take it as my mount and carry me to the interior of the Magical Beast Mountain Range." Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly as he looked at the giant wolf with a mischievous grin.

Hearing Xiao Yan's bold idea, Yao Lao reminded him, "Magical beasts are extremely ferocious creatures. Generally, only a very few lucky ones have the opportunity to gain their friendship and then their loyalty."

As soon as Yao Lao finished speaking, Xiao Yan stomped his foot on the ground and instantly shot forward: "Eight Extremes Collapse!"

Having broken through to the sixth-star Dou Zhe level, and with his physical attributes further enhanced by the Blood Burning Tempering, Xiao Yan's speed more than doubled. In an instant, he transformed into a black shadow and landed on the back of the Blazing Fire Wolf, delivering a powerful punch.

The Blazing Wolf, several times larger than Xiao Yan, was caught off guard and its body sank, its head touching the ground.

"Little wolf, how about becoming my mount? You'll live a life of luxury with me from now on," Xiao Yan tempted, stroking the Blazing Wolf's mane.

Looking at the Fiery Wolf, which was baring its teeth and seemed to want to devour Xiao Yan, Yao Lao found it amusing. Could this wolf be persuaded? There was no way it could be.

Xiao Yan punched the Blazing Fire Wolf on the head, calming it down. He then changed his approach and continued to persuade it.

Three minutes later, the old doctor glanced at the Fiery Wolf with several large bumps on its head: "If we do it again, we can only see if this Fiery Wolf has a magic core."

"Almost done, let's try one last time." Xiao Yan stroked the Blazing Fire Wolf's fur, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Based on your years of experience playing with birds and walking dogs, you had an epiphany; you grasped the Beast Control Flame Seal.
