Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 223 One Hundred Million Gold Coins

"Xiao Jue!?"

"Welcome back, Chief!"

Xiao Jue returned to the Jia Ma Empire and arrived at the Xiao family, which had moved to the capital. The first person he met was Xiao Zhan, the current acting patriarch.

For more than a year, Xiao Zhan was still in the Dou Ling realm. He looked at the group of women following Xiao Jue, their feet treading on the void, and he was in a daze.

No, it's only been a little over a year, and Xiao Jue has already brought back so many women at the Dou Zong level?

But when he saw Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, his eyes widened even more. When did these two nieces break through to the Dou Zong realm?

Xiao Jue descended from the sky and chuckled, "Uncle Xiao Zhan, there's no need for such formalities. How has the Xiao family been these past few days?"

Xiao Zhan came to his senses and said in a complicated tone, "With the help of Senior Yunshan and Elder Jia, the Xiao family has also developed rapidly in the capital."

"Many families wanted to offer concessions to the Xiao family, but I knew their intentions, and since the Xiao family only has a few of us Dou Ling now, I refused."

Helping the Xiao family now is simply a way to wait for Xiao Jue to return and help them. Xiao Zhan is not blinded by the petty gains in front of him, otherwise Xiao Jue would find it troublesome to repay the favor.

He nodded and smiled, "Now that I'm back, the Xiao family can develop rapidly. Announce to the public that from now on, the Xiao family will be renamed the Xiao clan."

"At the same time, the Xiao family will have four elders each, which is enough for now."

Xiao Jue handed a jade bottle to Xiao Zhan, which contained four Life-Devouring Pills. He said, "Take these four pills with the other three elders. They will help you break through to the Nine-Star Dou Zong level. As for the order in which you four are ranked, we can discuss that privately."

These Life-Devouring Pills were refined by Xiao Jue over the past two months, and he infused them with a large amount of life force from the Flame of Life, so these four Life-Devouring Pills have no side effects.

Furthermore, Xiao Jue refined the Nine-Colored Thunder Pill, which, once consumed, allowed him to directly break through to the Nine-Star Dou Zong realm. Looking across the Northwest Continent today, at least in the area surrounding the Jia Ma Empire, there was hardly anyone who could threaten the Xiao Clan in the future.

Moreover, it wouldn't be of much use for someone above the Dou Zong realm to take action. Xiao Jue had already handed over the Tianxuan Puppet to Xiao Yu, that Tianyao Puppet at the one-star Dou Sheng realm.

From now on, any matters concerning the Xiao clan can be left to Xiao Yu. Xiao Jue does not want to get too involved in worldly affairs, and he will also entrust all communication with other forces to Xiao Yu.

As for the Dou Sheng level experts, the two reclusive Dou Sheng from the Northwest Continent will most likely choose to remain out of the world.

If they were to truly become enemies with the Xiao Clan, a one-star Dou Sheng and a three-star Dou Sheng would be no match for Xiao Jue. Instead, they would only give Xiao Jue two more Heavenly Demon Puppets.

However, frankly speaking, the Heavenly Demon Puppet at the Dou Sheng realm was of little use to Xiao Jue. In addition, he was not a murderous demon king, so he naturally wouldn't deliberately seek trouble with these two Dou Sheng.

"this……"

Xiao Zhan was dumbfounded. Just one pill was enough to allow him to break through to the Nine-Star Dou Zong level.

Xiao Yu walked over and explained, "Uncle Xiao Zhan, this is an eighth-grade pill refined by Xiao Jue, and it also has nine-colored pill lightning. It is considered one of the top eighth-grade pills. You and my grandfather can take it together. Xiao Mei and I have both taken it and there were no side effects."

When Xiao Jue was traveling in the Northwest Continent, he randomly grabbed someone to test the new version of the Life-Devouring Pill. He confirmed that it could directly help one break through to the Nine-Star Dou Zong level without any side effects.

The lucky one was completely dumbfounded. He kowtowed to Xiao Jue and vowed to go home and set up a longevity tablet for Xiao Jue, and for his family members to do good deeds in the future.

Then, the lucky one turned into an unlucky one and was slapped to death by Xiao Jue because Xiao Jue found a wicked guy who bullied men and women to be his test subject.

Since it's all for drug testing, Xiao Jue certainly wouldn't just randomly pick an innocent person. For an ordinary mercenary who has committed all sorts of evil deeds to be able to experience the realm of a nine-star Dou Zong is something he could earn by doing good deeds in his previous life.

Xiao Zhan put away the pills and asked, "Xiao Jue, didn't Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning come back with you?"

"Xiao Yan went to Zhongzhou and became a Dou Sheng disciple. Xiao Ning also took this kind of pill and has now broken through to Dou Zong and stayed in the Black Corner Region."

After Xiao Zhan and his family found a place to settle down, he hurriedly went to find the three former elders of the Xiao family. Since Xiao Jue became an alchemist, they stopped fighting among themselves and instead worked together to develop the Xiao family.

After settling the women in, Xiao Jue did not stay in the Xiao clan's territory. He flashed to the Mittel Auction House in the capital.

I don't know if it's because Ya Fei has a peculiar hobby or what, but even with her current status and position, she's still hosting auctions.

Xiao Jue sat in a seat in the back row, watching Ya Fei preside over the auction.

"Today's grand finale auction item is a magical beast cub that the Supreme Elder of the Mittel family, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, one of the ten strongest figures in the Gama Empire, personally obtained in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

"The cub of the sixth-order Azure Flame Wolf King is currently a second-order magical beast. After reaching adulthood, it has a very high probability of becoming a fifth-order magical beast comparable to a Dou Wang expert, a small probability of becoming a sixth-order magical beast, and a hope of becoming a seventh-order magical beast."

"Starting bid: one million gold coins; minimum increment: fifty thousand gold coins."

Ya Fei wore light makeup and bright red lipstick. Her tall figure and mature charm were perfectly combined. Her chest was high and full, and she wore a red dress that held her soft, white breasts in place.

Two long, slender legs rested diagonally on the ground, the slightly slit skirt whispering tales of unspoken allure. Beneath her delicate calves, she wore patent leather red-soled high heels, her beautiful feet pink and smooth, with faint blue veins visible on the insteps.

The latest novel is first published here!

Xiao Jue shouted, "One hundred million gold coins!"

"Who's the fool causing trouble here!"

A furious shout rang out, and then Xiao Jue saw a figure soar into the sky. He smiled faintly and said, "Elder Hai, how come you're still only at the Dou Huang realm after all this time?"

"Xiao...Xiao Jue!"

Hai Bodong's eyes widened in surprise. "It's you back?" he exclaimed.

"Hmm." Xiao Jue nodded, looked at Ya Fei on the high platform, and smiled, "It's been a long time."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jue appeared behind Ya Fei in a flash, pulled her into his arms, and the two disappeared together.

"Ahem!" Hai Bodong, who had been ignored by Xiao Jue, coughed and said, "Xiao Jue has bid one hundred million gold coins. Since there is no higher offer, this auction is now concluded successfully."

A guest from a private room appeared, cupped his hands, and asked, "Elder Hai, may I ask if that person just now was Master Xiao Jue, the number one alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire?"

"good."

Hai Bodong smiled and nodded, saying, "It is indeed Xiao Jue, the patriarch of the Xiao family."

News of Xiao Jue's return quickly spread throughout the capital thanks to this auction.
