Temir Auction House, the largest auction house in Udan City, also belongs to one of the wealthiest families in the Gamara Empire: the Temir family.

  In the Empire of Gama, if we talk about wealth, the Temir family is probably the most prominent.

  The Temir familys history is long and has developed over hundreds of years in the Gama Empire, with a complex relationship that can be described as intricate. According to some rumors, this wealthy family seems to have a subtle connection with the imperial family of the Gama Empire.

  In the empire, the Temir family and the Nalan family, together with the Kertel family, were known as the three giants of Gama. The three families had a significant presence in various fields such as commerce and military within the empire.

  With the powerful background of the Temir family behind them, even if the profits from the auction were enticing, no one dared to have any ideas about them.

  ……

  Looking at the grand arena at the end of the street, Xiao Yan turned into a secluded alley and quickly put on the black cloak he had bought earlier.

  The large robe covered him up, not only hiding Xiao Yans appearance, but also making the somewhat slender figure of the young man look bloated. Now, even if Xun Er were standing in front of him, she would probably have a hard time recognizing him at a glance...

  He concealed his true form, and Xiao Yan finally let out a sigh of relief. This couldnt be blamed on him for being overly cautious. The Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid was too enticing to some family forces. After all, if someone could mass-produce this spiritual liquid, the younger generations strength would rapidly grow, which would undoubtedly be the best catalyst for a family.

  In order not to bring some unnecessary trouble to himself, Xiao Yan had no choice but to sneak around...

  He touched the somewhat cool white jade bottle in his bosom, and Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the alley, then headed towards the auction venue at the end of the street.

  Under the watchful eyes of several fully armed guards at the entrance, Xiao Yan walked in without stopping.

  As soon as I entered the club, that sweltering feeling was like being stripped away from my body, replaced by a cool sensation, giving me an eerie feeling of two different worlds inside and out.

  Swords gaze swept through the spacious and magnificent hall, and Xiao Yan walked towards a house on one side. On the door of the house, three large characters "Treasure Appraisal Room" were printed with glittering golden light.

  He pushed open the door and entered, the room was a bit empty, with only one middle-aged man sitting on the chair by the table, looking somewhat bored. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the middle-aged man raised his head, gazing at the figure shrouded in black robes, his eyebrows furrowed slightly before quickly covering up with a professional smile: "Sir, are you here to appraise something?"

  "Hmm." Under the black robe, a somewhat hoarse and aged voice floated out, surprisingly it was Yao Laos voice.

  Xiao Yan took two steps forward and casually pulled out a white jade bottle from his bosom, gently placing it on the table.

  "What is this?" The middle-aged mans eyes blinked in confusion, and he carefully picked up the white jade bottle. He sniffed it lightly at the mouth of the bottle, and after a moment, his face changed slightly. When he looked at Xiao Yan again, there was an added hint of reverence: "Sir, are you an alchemist?"

  "Hmm." The hoarse voice sounded again.

  "Excuse me, what is this... elixir? What effect does it have?" The middle-aged man asked again with a bow.

  "Zhujiling liquid can enhance the cultivation speed of Dou Qi, but it can only be used by those below the Dou Zhe level to take effect."

  "Oh? Can you increase the speed of Dou Qi cultivation?" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was slightly moved. Dou Qi could only be cultivated in a mediocre way, and this had almost become common sense for everyone. Moreover, at this stage of cultivation, the meridians inside the body were extremely fragile. If the medicinal power was too strong, it would lead to a tragic outcome of severed meridians and death...

  "This spiritual liquid of mine has no side effects, and its medicinal properties are extremely mild. It wont produce that kind of result, so you can rest assured." The old voice explained slowly, seemingly understanding what the middle-aged man was thinking in his heart.

  His face changed again, and the middle-aged man carefully put the white jade bottle back on the table. He respectfully said: "Sir, may I ask you to wait for a moment? I need to go invite Master Guni from our auction house to come and appraise the spiritual liquid!"

  "Ah, hurry up." He waved his hand and Xiao Yan also didnt stand on ceremony, sitting down in the chair beside him, then closing his eyes to rest.

  The middle-aged man hastily nodded and then rushed out of the room.

  Sitting on the chair, Xiao Yan remained silent and didnt open his mouth to converse with Yao Lao. This was someone elses territory, so it was better to be cautious and careful in speech. Who could guarantee that there werent any hidden surveillance or eavesdropping devices here?

  After a while in the room, the middle-aged man returned again, this time bringing with him an old man in a green robe whose hair was somewhat white.

  His gaze swept across the old mans body, finally stopping at his chest. There was no golden star there, but instead a pattern that looked like an incense burner. On its surface, two silver stripes shone with noble splendor.

  "Sir, this is our auction houses Gu Ni master, he is a three-star Da Dou Shi! At the same time, he is also a second-grade alchemist!" The middle-aged man introduced respectfully.

  Listening to the old mans words, Xiao Yans eyebrows under his hood involuntarily twitched, this was still his first time meeting an alchemist other than Medicine Master, and he couldnt help but carefully examine the other person.

  The old mans face was flushed with a red glow, and although the green robe on his body seemed ordinary, it had a subtle luster flowing through it. Apparently, this garment must have been imbued with some sort of magical protection crystal. On his plain old face, there was an unmistakable hint of pride, which was something that every alchemist possessed.

  At the same time that Xiao Yan was sizing up his opponent, Gu Ni was also discreetly scanning the former. An alchemist is not a fighter, and such a person would be eagerly sought after by any power, so while Gu Ni was sizing him up, he was also secretly guessing at Xiao Yans identity.

  The middle-aged man carefully picked up the jade bottle from the table and handed it to Guni.

  Taking over the white jade bottle, Guni lightly sniffed the fragrance of the clear scent, his old eyes slightly narrowed, and his pupils flickered. The mouth of the bottle was slightly tilted, and a small drop of green liquid slowly rolled out and floated above Gunis palm.

  Her eyes fixed intently on the blue liquid, Gu Ni pinched her thumb and index finger together, a silver needle appeared between them. The needle had a slight aura fluctuation, quietly inserted into the blue liquid, then gently stirred...

  As the slender needle stirred, Gunyis complexion gradually transformed from calm to solemn. After a moment, he collected the cyan liquid into a jade bottle and turned his gaze back to Xiao Yan. On his proud face, there was an added hint of respect. He turned to the middle-aged man and said in a deep voice, "The spiritual liquid has reached the level of a second-grade elixir. What this gentleman said earlier is true!"

  Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief and smiled warmly at Xiao Yan: "Sir, are you planning to auction off this spiritual liquid?"

  "Can you arrange for me to have the earliest auction time?"

  "Hehe, no problem at all. Sir, take this to Room 1s auction room, where an auction is being held right now. Your spiritual liquid will be sold in no time!" The middle-aged man handed over a black iron plate with a smile.

  "Hmm." He casually took the iron plate and didnt stay any longer. Under the gaze of the two, he walked out of the room.

  "Is Gu Ni a master alchemist?" The middle-aged man asked in a low voice after Xiao Yan disappeared.

  "Ah, indeed a true alchemist. That keen spiritual perception cant be wrong..." Guni nodded, then furrowed his brow, muttering to himself in puzzlement: "But which factions alchemist is he? Ive never heard of Udan City producing an alchemist capable of refining second-grade elixirs before?"

  "Should we investigate his background?" the middle-aged man said in a low voice.

  Gunis eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought for a moment before shaking his head: "Not for the time being. Alchemists tend to have eccentric temperaments; if we investigate and attract his attention, it might give him a bad impression of the auction house. Offending a mysterious alchemist of unknown rank isnt exactly a wise move."

  Turning his head, he glanced at the middle-aged man and said faintly, "How to make him have a good impression of us, you should know what to do, right?"

  "Hehe, understood."

  "Remember, even if we cant get along, its absolutely unacceptable to offend each other, otherwise..." With a faintly cold tone, Gu Ni drifted away.
