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

Chapter 5 Good people deserve to have guns pointed at them.

Hearing Ya Fei address him as "little brother," Xiao Jue smiled and nodded, secretly thinking that if she continued to call him "little brother," he could have direct, close-up interactions with her in the future.

"After you sell these pills, please help me buy some ingredients for second-grade pills. I need a hundred portions."

Ya Fei said with some distress, "This is a bit difficult to handle. After all, the Mittel Auction House does not have the rule of credit. The price of a first-grade pill is two thousand gold coins, and these pills are worth 136,000 gold coins. The ingredients for a second-grade pill usually range from one thousand five hundred to two thousand gold coins."

"But does Brother Xiao Jue not restrict which type of medicinal material is used for the pill? Any second-grade medicinal material is fine."

Xiao Jue thought for a moment and said, "Sister Yafei, please prepare the ingredients for one hundred doses of Qi Condensation Pills for me."

Among second-grade pills, the Qi Condensation Pill is almost the most difficult to refine because it can enhance the strength of a first-star Dou Zhe and can only be taken once.

Although it can only be taken once, the pills that enhance battle qi are almost always the most expensive of their kind, and only some life-extending pills can compare to them.

After thinking for a moment, Ya Fei said, "Among the ingredients for second-grade pills, the ingredients for Qi Condensation Pill are the most expensive, costing 2,300 gold coins per serving. If Brother Xiao Jue wants 100 servings, I can give you 2,200 gold coins per serving."

"If that's the case, then it's still 84,000 gold coins short compared to your pills. I can make up the difference for you first, and you can pay me back when we auction off the pills next time. How about that?"

"Then thank you very much for your trust, Sister Yafei."

Xiao Jue smiled slightly and said, "I still need five portions of Qi Gathering Powder ingredients and eight portions of Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill ingredients. How about we exchange these?"

Xiao Jue took out two scrolls from his storage ring and placed them on the table, right next to the pile of jade bottles.

"Gathering Qi Powder and Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill?" Ya Fei was slightly surprised. It wasn't that she thought Xiao Jue could refine these pills, but rather that she thought that Xiao Jue must have had a teacher to become an alchemist.

She picked up the scroll and exclaimed in surprise, "The Azure Wood Technique, a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation method?"

It's a wood-attribute cultivation technique. Among the cultivation techniques and fighting skills left behind by the Yin-Yang Saint, there are very few of the high-level Xuan-rank ones. This is why Xiao Jue had such a hard time finding it.

Ya Fei picked up another scroll, "Advanced Profound Rank Technique, Tempering Technique."

Xiao Jue said, "Sister Yafei can send these two cultivation techniques to headquarters for auction, and then send the medicinal materials back to the Xiao family."

The ingredients for Gathering Qi Powder are worth about 50,000 gold coins per serving, and the same goes for Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill. The ingredients for thirteen servings of Grade 4 pills are worth 650,000 gold coins.

Ya Fei smiled happily and said, "In that case, I'll waive the 84,000 gold coins for you as well. The ingredients for 100 portions of Qi Condensation Pills, 5 portions of Qi Gathering Powder, and 8 portions of Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills can't be given to you all at once. They need to be transferred from other branches."

"I need to check the stock of medicinal herbs in the warehouse to see how much I can give you, but the rest will be delivered to you within three days at most."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Yafei."

Xiao Jue stayed here to wait, while Ya Fei hurriedly left, leaving sixty-eight first-grade pills and two high-level Xuan-rank cultivation techniques on the table.

Xiao Jue lay on his side on the sofa, and the image of Ya Fei's fair and tender legs flashed through his mind. However, Xiao Yu's legs didn't seem bad either.

Thinking back to how it felt back then, Xiao Jue couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Yan's good deeds in the Xiao family were mostly taken over by Xiao Jue. The only thing Xiao Jue didn't dare to do was to Xun'er. After all, if the young master of the ancient clan took a liking to her, he would be made difficult by the other members of the ancient clan.

Previously, he was worried that he would not be as good as Xiao Yan in the future, and that he would be troubled by the ancient clans but would not be a match for them. He was also worried that some unexpected things might happen, so he did not provoke Xun'er.

However, Xiao Mei was always Xiao Jue's shadow. Even Xiao Ning's sister, Xiao Yu, had her beautiful legs touched by Xiao Jue, but Xiao Yan didn't have that kind of luck.

Soon after, Ya Fei returned with a storage ring and handed it to Xiao Jue along with her personal crystal card. The card was decorated with the Temir family crest. She said, "This storage ring is for my little brother Xiao Jue. It contains the ingredients for thirty portions of Qi Condensation Pills. The remaining ingredients will be ready in three days."

"This is a VIP card for the Mittel Auction. As long as you hold this card, you will receive VIP treatment at any of the Mittel family's auction houses. At the same time, the tax rate payable on the auction will be reduced from five percent to two percent."

Xiao Jue nodded, moved all the medicinal herbs inside into the Yin-Yang Ring, and then handed the ring back to Ya Fei, saying, "Thank you, Sister Ya Fei. You can put the remaining medicinal herbs in here as well."

"However, there's another ingredient for this elixir." Xiao Jue slowly uttered the names of several herbs, "Soul-Nourishing Grass, Yuanling Fruit, Soul-Spirit Flower..."

"If the Mittel family can acquire these medicinal herbs, please ask Sister Yafei to help me prepare as many as possible."

Xiao Jue took out a badge and handed it to Ya Fei, saying, "This badge is a gift for Sister Ya Fei."

After saying that, Xiao Jue turned and left. The badge was a picture of a pill cauldron with six ripples on it. It was a sixth-grade alchemist badge issued by the Pill Tower, which he found in his Yin-Yang Ring.

The latest novel is first published here!

This thing is of little use to Xiao Jue, but it's pretty good for showing off. Although it's impossible for him to win over Ya Fei with it, he might be able to win over Yao Lao.

Because those medicinal herbs are exactly what's needed to refine a fifth-grade Soul Nourishing Life, they can definitely get Elder Yao to help.

Even without the Soul Nourishing Ceremony, Xiao Jue could still get Yao Lao to refine pills for him. After all, Yao Lao was not an evil person. Xiao Jue's prescient information was enough to tempt Yao Lao, which is what is meant by a gentleman using reason to deceive.

On his way back to the Xiao family, Xiao Jue ate at a restaurant before going home. Although he had given all the money he had hidden under his bed to Xiao Yan, he still carried some gold coins with him, enough for a meal.

Arriving outside Xiao Yan's courtyard, Xiao Jue kicked open the gate and went inside. He then kicked open the door to the room, startling Xiao Yan, who was meditating in a wooden tub. Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Jue speechlessly.

Xiao Yan asked, both amused and exasperated, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Jue had a smug look on his face. "Little Yanzi, show some respect to the alchemist."

He leaned closer to take a look, a disdainful expression on his face. "Seriously? How can it be so small?"

"You!" Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "If you're so capable, why don't you take it out and compare?"

"Why should I compete with you?" Xiao Jue said disdainfully, "Let's make a bet. If you lose, you have your teacher refine thirteen grade four pills for me. If I lose, I'll give you information about a strange fire."
