Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

At this moment, Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Mei in front of him and said with a smile, "Cousin Xiao Mei, the light screen has disappeared. You can go in and get it now."

Xiao Mei looked at Xiao Yao in front of her and said in a soft voice, "Cousin Xiao Yao... thank you for your help."

"Okay, go ahead, it's almost time." Xiao Yao replied calmly, then walked towards the exit with Xun'er.

Xiao Yao and Xun'er walked out of the heavy gate. At the corner of the gate, an expressionless old man sat in a chair, recording the cultivation techniques and fighting skills that the young disciples queuing in front of him had obtained in the Dou Qi Pavilion.

Xiao Yao and Xun'er waited at the back of the line for a while before it was finally their turn. They stepped forward, took out the scroll of martial arts techniques from their pockets, and handed it to the old man.

Taking the dark red scroll from Xiao Yao, the old man registered the cultivation technique and returned it to Xiao Yao, calmly reminding him, "You must know the rules, right? Cultivation techniques cannot be taken out of the family, otherwise there will be severe punishment! Return the cultivation technique one year later, without any damage!"

Xiao Yao nodded and stood aside waiting for Xun'er to finish registering.

After a short while, Xiao Yao and Xun'er walked out of the Dou Qi Pavilion and headed towards their own courtyard.

When they reached the fork in the path, Xun'er stopped and looked at Xiao Yao's calm face. With a flick of her slender fingers, an ancient scroll in the color of fire jade appeared in her hand.

"This is a high-level Xuan-rank fire-attribute cultivation technique: Flame Manipulation Technique!"

After Xun'er finished speaking, she stuffed the cultivation manual into Xiao Yao's arms, took two light steps back, and blushed slightly on her delicate face. She said sweetly, "Brother Xiao Yao, although Xun'er doesn't know what level of cultivation manual you cultivate, obtaining a higher-level manual can greatly help your future cultivation. The higher the level of the manual, the faster your cultivation speed will be. Consider this a gift from Xun'er to you, and please accept it carefully."

Xiao Yao looked at Xun'er standing under the willow tree, her delicate face slightly flushed, her pearly teeth gently biting her alluring red lips, and her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.

Xiao Yao put away the scroll in his arms, looked into Xun'er's eyes like autumn water, and said to her earnestly in a soft voice, "Xun'er, I accept your kindness."

That morning, Xiao Yao walked out of the Xiao family gate alone and came to the bustling street. When no one was paying attention, he entered an alley, quickly put on a black robe and a disguise mask, and walked out towards the auction venue.

......

Yafi and Gu Ni, the chief auctioneers of Mittel Auction House, rushed into the appraisal room. As soon as they entered, they saw a man dressed in black robes sitting in a chair, resting with his eyes closed.

At this moment, Xiao Yao heard the door open and opened his eyes, a low voice escaping his lips: "You've arrived. How's the progress on the medicinal herbs I asked you to collect?"

Ya Fei raised her eyebrows slightly, her captivating eyes sweeping over the man in black robes before her. Her smiling face was filled with alluring charm: "Sir, this humble woman used the power of the Mittel family over the past year to gather the medicinal herbs listed in all three orders. I also paid a great price to successfully purchase them."

Xiao Yao coughed lightly and said calmly, "Yes, I will take good care of the Mittel family's business in the future."

After speaking, Xiao Yao took out six bottles of pills from his storage ring and placed them on the table. He then said, "These five bottles are second-grade Foundation Establishment Elixir pills. You all know their effects. The remaining bottle is a One-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, a low-grade fourth-grade pill. Let's auction off these six bottles. The proceeds should be enough to cover the cost of gathering the materials, right?"

Yafei stared in surprise, her sexy red lips slightly parted, her eyes wide as she looked at the five bottles of pills placed in front of her. Her visually striking, full breasts gently traced a breathtaking arc.

"Cough..." The black-robed man sitting not far from Ya Fei coughed dryly, startling her awake.

Yafei chuckled softly, "That's enough. These pills are enough to make up for what we've already given up."

With her jade-like hands gently stroking the cool white jade bottle, Ya Fei picked it up, sniffed it lightly, and then handed it to Gu Ni beside her.

Taking the white jade bottle, Gu Ni examined it carefully and said with slight surprise, "These four bottles are all Foundation Establishment Elixir, all of superior quality, while the remaining bottle is a One-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill."

Xiao Yao tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said calmly, "You've seen the pills, but have you prepared the medicinal herbs I need?" His tone seemed to carry a hint of impatience.

Yafei smiled and said, "Sir, you may need to wait a little while. The staff below are using their storage rings to pack the medicinal herbs you need according to the order."

After a short while, a maid dressed in pink brought up a wooden tray with three low-level storage rings placed in the center.

Yafei picked up three storage rings and held them out to the man in black robes, saying sweetly, "Sir, these three storage rings contain all the medicinal herbs listed in the prescription. Please take a look."

Xiao Yao extended his fair hand and accepted the three rings. He used his soul to examine the medicinal herbs inside, and after confirming that everything was correct, he nodded in satisfaction and said calmly, "Hmm, no problem."

Yafei stared at the long, slender, fair hand that was extended from the black robe, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. The voice was deep and resonant, yet the person possessed a pair of clean hands like a young boy. Just who was this person?

"Sir, we will be holding a large auction in a few days. You are welcome to come and take a look. You might find something you need. Your elixirs will also be available at the auction."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao immediately stood up and said softly, "Yes, I will come to participate if I have time. If there's nothing else now, I'll take my leave." After saying that, he left the treasure appraisal room.

The next day, Xiao Yao heard his family discussing that a pill that could enhance the cultivation of a Great Dou Master would appear at the auction a few days later.

It must be said that the publicity effect of the Mittel Auction House was indeed very powerful. Just one day after Xiao Yao handed over the Foundation Establishment Elixir and the One-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill to the auction house, almost all the forces, large and small, in Wutan City knew about the news. Immediately, everyone's blood boiled.

After all, the Azure Pattern Pill has a high chance of helping a Great Dou Master advance one star in cultivation, and the three major families are determined to obtain it, as it concerns their status in Wutan City.

In addition, these five bottles of Foundation Building Elixir are a more realistic option for many people. In order to enable their descendants to become fighters, many elders are willing to spend money to buy this affordable yet not particularly expensive item.

On this day, the Xiao family also received an invitation from the Mittel Auction House. Perhaps it was because Xiao Yan and Xiao Yao's strength and talent during their coming-of-age ceremony last time were enough to attract the Mittel Auction House to make connections.

The elders of the family were quite interested in the Foundation Establishment Elixir that appeared, especially the elders whose descendants had not yet reached the Dou Zhe level. They were extremely eager, since this Foundation Establishment Elixir could greatly shorten the cultivation time.
