Chapter 138 Auction Over, Stay Tuned! [Please Read On]

Xiao Lei raised an eyebrow and immediately recognized that the tattered piece of cloth was one of the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

After all, he had already collected two copies before this.

Although Xiao Yan had never seen the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame diagram, he had Yao Chen, a knowledgeable alchemist, within him, who also discovered the secrets hidden in the tattered cloth.

However, only the two of them in the entire auction house knew that the tattered piece of cloth was worth more than they could have imagined.

Hearing the disdainful voices in the auction hall, the auctioneer's smile became somewhat awkward. After their research, the ancient cloth piece was believed to be a map.

However, apart from that, they didn't gain much, which is why they put it up for auction.

The auctioneer glanced at the ancient piece of cloth, picked it up with two fingers, and held it horizontally in everyone's sight. Pointing to a pattern that was only half visible at the edge, he smiled and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, this map must be quite old. Although I don't know what it hides, ancient artifacts are never ordinary, right? One always has to take a gamble; with a bit of luck, maybe what it hides will cause a sensation throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent!"

"cut!"

Few people in the auction hall listened to the auctioneer's words; most scoffed at them.

On the crystal platform, the white-haired auctioneer enthusiastically described how mysterious the tattered piece of cloth was, but to no avail; some people were even starting to get impatient.

The white-haired auctioneer could only shake his head helplessly, swallow hard, and say with a wry smile, "This fragment of the map has a starting price of 100,000 gold coins. Now, the auction begins!"

As the white-haired auctioneer's voice faded, the huge auction hall fell silent.

Some people glanced at the stage as if they were looking at an idiot.

Who would spend 100,000 gold coins to buy a broken thing that they don't even know is real or fake?

Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this, right?

The entire auction hall was quiet, and no one bid.

After nearly five minutes of silence, the white-haired auctioneer finally sighed and was about to announce that the item had not been sold when a voice suddenly rang out in the room.

"110,000..."

A soft voice broke the silence in the room.

Instantly, countless gazes followed the sound and finally settled on Xiao Yan.

"Is this guy out of his mind? Spending 110,000 yuan on some junk whose purpose he has no idea how to use?"

Not far from Xiao Lei and his group, Fan Ling, the young sect master of the Blood Sect, tilted his head and sized up Xiao Yan for a while. His brows furrowed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he chose to raise the price, "130,000!"

Upon hearing Fan Ling raise the price, Xiao Yan's expression darkened. After a long silence, he continued bidding, "150,000!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

Fan Ling's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he joined the bidding again.

It wasn't that he had figured out the secret of the incomplete map. Fan Ling was initially just a little curious, but seeing Xiao Yan dare to bid against him provoked his arrogant nature.

"Give it to him," Xiao Lei said in a voice only the two of them could hear, looking at Xiao Yan whose expression was changing and whose hands were trembling. "Let him keep it for now."

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, then nodded, closed his eyes to rest, and did not participate in the bidding again.

Without Xiao Yan raising the price, the incomplete map was successfully auctioned off by Fan Ling for 200,000 gold coins.

The auction then proceeded slowly amidst the anticipation of countless people.

After that mysterious and broken breakthrough, some other great things appeared that enlivened the atmosphere.

Among them was the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, which Xiao Yan put up for auction, causing a huge climax.

Amidst the fierce bidding, the auction gradually came to an end. Midway through, Xiao Yan successfully bid for one of the essential medicinal materials for refining the Earth Spirit Pill: the Earth Core Fire Mushroom.

Xiao Lei also bought a few more of the remaining medicinal herbs.

As for the Earth-rank Battle Technique Three Thousand Thunderclaps and the final Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, Xiao Lei did not participate in the bidding.

It wasn't that Xiao Lei wasn't interested in these two items; rather, he planned to seize them directly after the auction ended.

In this Black Corner Region, such things are perfectly normal.

The Earth-rank combat skill, Three Thousand Thunderclaps, was auctioned off to members of the Black Skull Tomb faction for 10.2 million.

The Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill eventually fell into the hands of the people of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

After the auction ended, Xiao Yan went to retrieve the gold coins he had earned from selling the pills, while Xiao Lei also collected the medicinal herbs he had won at the auction.

Immediately, the group headed out of the auction house.

"Hmm?" Not long after leaving the auction house, Xiao Lei sensed that someone was following him in the dark, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Cousin Xiao Lei, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Xiao Lei said calmly, "Someone is following us. It should be someone from the Eight Doors. They've really brought trouble upon themselves."

"Should we shake off the trackers?" Xiao Yan asked in a low voice.

Xiao Lei smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need. Let them come along. We'll deal with the Eight Doors matter after we get back what belongs to us. Let's go back first."

The things Xiao Lei mentioned that belonged to them were naturally the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map, the Earth-rank Battle Technique Three Thousand Thunder Movement, and the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill that Fan Ling and the others had previously acquired.

Hai Bodong said, "Young master, why don't you rest at the inn? I'll go get the things now."

"No rush, let's go back first," Xiao Lei said with a faint smile, declining Hai Bodong's suggestion, and led the group back to their residence.

Meanwhile, after the auction ended, Fan Ling and the others did not leave Black Seal City immediately, but rested for a night.

Around noon the next day, the group swaggered out of the restaurant and roared out of Black Seal City.

Xiao Lei had already enveloped the entire Black Seal City with his soul power, so the news of Fan Ling and the others leaving the city naturally did not escape his notice.

"Let's go, it's time to take back what belongs to us," Xiao Lei called Cai Lin, Xiao Yan, and Hai Bodong, chuckling softly.

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Lei flashed away and headed out of Black Seal City, with Cai Lin and the other two following closely behind.

At their speed, catching up with Fan Ling and his group would be no problem at all.

Before long, the group followed the Blood Sect members to a small forest outside Black Seal City.

To the east of the small forest is a winding path that leads to the end. This small forest is also a necessary route to the west of Black Seal City.

Not only were the four of them hiding in the shadows, but the Blood Sect members were also concealed, clearly intending to ambush someone.

Xiao Lei decided to watch the show first and didn't rush to make a move.

"They're here!"

Suddenly, Xiao Lei looked into the distance and murmured to himself.

The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people riding fast horses galloping along the road in the distance, chasing after the stars and the moon, kicking up clouds of yellow dust in their wake...
