After Xiao Yan returned to his residence, he spent the remaining two days holed up in his room, quietly waiting for the arrival of the auction.
At the same time, news regarding the rank three alchemist swiftly swept across the entire Yan City like a storm.
A rank three alchemist. This was a person who could cause the expressions of a Dou Di class expert to change. Even a Dou Di would have to treat this kind of person politely. Yet, there was actually such a person existing within Yan City. How could the various experts within the city not be moved by this?
The various forces sent people to investigate one after another, seemingly wanting to find out the specific origins of that rank three alchemist. But unfortunately, after two days of investigation, the results they obtained in the end were still completely clueless.
At this moment, it was time for the Yan City auction to begin.
… …
When the first rays of the morning sun scattered over the land, Yan City, which had been suppressed for an entire night, had already become lively.
A large group of people swarmed in and out of the city like flowing water. The dawn had yet to fade from the horizon, but the entire Yan City was already packed with people.
At a glance, one could see countless human heads moving about in the streets and alleys. In the sky, there were also a hundred high class Half Emperors standing in the air, waiting for the auction to begin.
In a room whose door had been tightly shut for two days, Xiao Yan, who was seated on a bed, finally slowly opened his eyes at this moment.
The moment he opened his eyes, a white flame flashed in the depths of his pupils like lightning, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A thought passed through his mind and a majestic Spiritual Strength immediately swept out from between his brows, investigating the situation in the outside world.
"Huh?"
At the same time that Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength spread out, the expressions on the faces of the few human figures within Yan City involuntarily changed. They exchanged glances with one another. Their eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Are you that rank three alchemist?"
A voice was imperceptibly transmitted into Xiao Yan's mind from a distance, causing the expression on his ordinary face to change slightly.
"I think that the few of you should be the elite Dou Di who have come to participate in the auction this time around."
In merely an instant, the expression on Xiao Yan's face once again recovered its calmness.
As elite Dou Di, their sensitivity to their surroundings was naturally not something that an ordinary Half Emperor could compare with. Even though it was a rank three alchemist's Spiritual Strength that had probed them, they would still be able to sense it as long as the alchemist's Spiritual Strength had not reached a certain level.
"Ke ke, grandmaster should have come because of the auction this time around. Since this is the case, the few of us wish to invite grandmaster for a chat."
The status of a rank three alchemist caused this group of usually arrogant elite Dou Di to not dare to be careless.
Although an elite Dou Di was frightening, he was ultimately alone no matter where he went. However, an alchemist was different. Even though the strength of a high tier alchemist was not great, he would still be an existence that was surrounded by many people no matter where he went. Such a person could not be easily offended.
As the saying goes, an alchemist was just like a hornet's nest. It would explode with a poke. They did not wish to offend such a frightening person.
"I appreciate your kind intentions. However, I think that there is no need for an invitation."
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. How could he not guess the intentions of this group of people? However, he was currently being attacked from both front and back. If there was no need, he was unwilling to easily reveal his identity. That would not be beneficial to him.
The few of them involuntarily frowned quietly when they heard this. However, they also knew that an alchemist had a strange temper. This was a common occurrence. It was also normal for an alchemist to not accept an invitation. The only thing that caused them to feel a pity was that a rank three alchemist was a person that they could not easily miss out on!
It would be best if they could befriend such a person. However, if they could not, they should definitely not make an enemy out of him. Otherwise, even though they were also elite Dou Di, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
A thought passed through Xiao Yan's mind within the room. The Spiritual Strength that he had spread out swiftly shrank back like a deflated balloon. In the blink of an eye, it was completely withdrawn by Xiao Yan.
"Hu …"
Xiao Yan exhaled a long breath. He involuntarily knit his brows slightly. In his heart, he did not expect that a rank three alchemist would actually have such a great face. Even an elite Dou Di had to be courteous. He did not know just when he would be able to truly reach this stage!
The Spiritual Strength that Xiao Yan had unleashed earlier was merely the Spiritual Strength that Gu You had lent him. Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength was even inferior to Xu Songming. There was no telling just how long it would take for him to become a rank three alchemist.
"Come in. The door is not locked."
The next moment, Murong Qianqian, who was outside Xiao Yan's door, was about to knock when Xiao Yan suddenly spat out these words for no reason.
Murong Qianqian curled her mouth when she heard Xiao Yan's words from outside the door. She pushed open the door with her hand and quickly walked into the room.
"Hey, the auction is about to begin. Why are you still waiting in your room? There are so many people participating in the auction. Even with your strength, you will not be able to enter if you are late. Don't tell me that you do not plan on participating in the auction?"
The young lady's words contained a displeasure. Ever since they had left the Thousand Medicinal House two days ago, the young lady in front of him had been calling Xiao Yan 'hey' in this manner. Although Xiao Yan was not used to hearing it, he still smiled bitterly and agreed.
"Ha ha, alright. Aren't I awake now? The auction this time around is going to be quite grand. I have to prepare something. Otherwise, what can I use to compete with those fellows?"
Xiao Yan smiled. He did not continue to pester the young lady about how she addressed him. Both of his hands patted the bed beneath him. Immediately, his body, which was seated cross-legged on the bed, stood up like a spring.
His pitch-black eyes slowly lifted. He looked at the young lady in front of him. The corners of his mouth slowly lifted into a slight smile.
"Let's go to the auction house. Someone will come and fetch us there."
Xiao Yan laughed softly. He lifted his feet and walked out of the door.
Behind him, Murong Qianqian's beautiful eyes curiously sized up Xiao Yan. Her lily-white hands could not help but scratch her head. Ever since the incident two days ago, she felt that there was something different about the Xiao Yan in front of her. However, she did not know exactly where this difference came from.
The young lady curled her lips slightly. She thought for a while and could not help but be curious. Xiao Yan said that someone would come and fetch them when they reached the auction house. What did this mean?
