"Zhao Xian."
Xiao Yan involuntarily muttered softly in his heart when he saw the person who had arrived.
He clearly remembered that this fellow's strength was stronger than any of the foreign elite Dou Di present. He was a middle stage two star Dou Di.
Xiao Yan did not have the slightest chance of victory in front of this fellow. Even though he had yet to meet him face to face, he still caused Xiao Yan to feel an unknown chill.
"Huh?"
After revealing himself, Zhao Xian also discovered Xiao Yan's group standing in front of him. Immediately, he involuntarily frowned. A soft 'huh' sound was emitted from the tip of his nose. Soon after, a killing intent suddenly flashed across his silver-white eyes when his gaze saw Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian beside him.
"Hmph!"
Even though that killing intent only flashed and disappeared, it was still instantly discovered by Jin Yao, who was currently observing the latter. Immediately, Jin Yao's body moved. Her lovely body immediately blocked in front of Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian. An indifferent cold snort was emitted from the tip of her nose. A pair of pretty eyes similarly emitted a dense chill.
"You are Jin Yao, the owner of the Thousand Medicinal House?"
Zhao Xian's icy cold gaze slowly shifted away from Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian. Only then did he look at Jin Yao. The expression on his face did not change even a little because of the latter's aura.
"Who are you?"
The expression on Jin Yao's face became increasingly icy in the face of Zhao Xian's question. The expression in her pretty eyes was extremely indifferent. At the same time, there was also a deep fear that could not be removed.
Although they were both two star Dou Di, the latter was a middle stage two star Dou Di. Although the two of them were only separated by a line, it was like the difference between the sky and the earth.
Compared to an elite Ban Di, when one reached the level of an elite Dou Di, the division of strength was extremely harsh. Even if the two of them were only separated by a line, their strength was definitely distinct.
The strong would always be the strong. In this place, there was no difference. The only difference was the difference between clouds and mud.
"Humph, don't worry. I won't attack you here. This is the Tianyun Auction House's territory. Even in the entire Western Region, no one would dare to attack you. Even I wouldn't dare. But boy …"
Zhao Xian's words had just sounded when he pointed the tip of his sword. His sharp and icy cold gaze once again looked at Xiao Yan. This dark and cold gaze caused Xiao Yan to feel as though there was a thorn in his back. This caused Xiao Yan's body to involuntarily shiver.
"Remember this. When you are outside, you will have to pay back your debts sooner or later. Even if you are safe and sound in the Heavenly Clouds Auction House today, as long as you dare to leave this place, I guarantee that you will not be able to leave Yan City!"
Hearing these cold words, the expression on Xiao Yan's face involuntarily changed once again. He really could not understand when he had encountered such an enemy.
Just as Xiao Yan was pondering this in his heart, Zhao Xian's body moved. His strong body swiftly rushed past Xiao Yan's side. The wind that he carried when he walked past directly scraped against Xiao Yan's face until it hurt.
His footsteps carried the wind and were as swift as thunder. This kind of invisible might was really worthy of an elite Dou Di!
Xiao Yan quietly exclaimed in his heart. At the same time, he could not help but feel even more curious about Zhao Xian. Xiao Yan was certain that this was the first time that he had met him. Why exactly was this fellow so hostile toward him? This ultimately caused Xiao Yan to feel some doubt in his heart.
At this moment, at the end of the tunnel, within another space where white light lingered, a familiar old voice was faintly transmitted over.
"Ke ke, the three people outside, please come in."
Hearing this familiar voice, the expression on Xiao Yan's face immediately became much more relaxed. The owner of the voice was the manager of the auction house, Fang Qian.
"Hmph, old man who won't die. I was wondering who it was. It is actually you again."
In response to this, Jin Yao, who was beside Xiao Yan, pursed her red lips slightly. Her face revealed a relaxed expression. Clearly, Zhao Xian's departure had caused the pressure in her heart to be reduced by quite a lot.
The three of them exchanged glances with each other. Murong Qianqian had revealed an obedient girl expression from the beginning. The others did not know that at this moment, Xiao Yan's arm, which was being hugged by Murong Qianqian, was already numb and unable to move.
After the three of them stepped into the white light, the three of them almost instinctively narrowed their eyes. It was a long while later when the three of them gradually became familiar with the white light. Only then did they slowly open their eyes.
What came into view was a stone room. The space of the stone room was neither too big nor too small. It could accommodate nearly twenty people. The walls on three sides were bare without any decorations. They were all as black as ink. However, they faintly emitted a strange light that was difficult to capture.
The only piece of furniture in the stone room was a table. It was also a stone table. It was a black stone table with various Magical Beasts carved on it. It looked extremely valuable.
There were three chairs placed around the stone table. The three of them sat down in order. Fang Qian was not polite at all.
"Ke ke, this old man has already waited for a long time. I have already prepared the items for the two of you. The only thing missing is the item in your hands …"
Fang Qian's expression slightly paused when he spoke until this point. However, he did not say anything else. Xiao Yan and Jin Yao understood at a glance.
"Here, my Lily of the Valley Ointment."
Jin Yao casually took out a jade box. After opening it, a piece of milky white jade-like gypsum appeared in front of the three of them.
When he saw the gypsum, the smile on Fang Qian's face became even brighter. He immediately carefully held it in his hand. He gently sniffed it and enjoyed the unique smell of the ointment. After a short while, he nodded with a smile on his face.
"Not bad, District Mistress Jin, the items that you take out are all good stuff. Just based on your collection, I am afraid that my auction house cannot even compare to a tenth of what you have!"
He could not help but flatter her with a smile. Fang Qian also took out a jade box with one hand. After opening it, a green Ling Long Fruit appeared in front of the four of them.
"Green Jade Fruit. Here, this is also what you wanted. Don't worry, with this old man here, I guarantee that it will be top grade."
Fang Qian imitated Jin Yao's tone and laughed. Then, he looked at Xiao Yan, who was sitting in front of the two of them, with an even more passionate gaze. Compared to the items that the former had taken out, Fang Qian was more interested in the Thousand Fan Leaf that Xiao Yan had taken out.
That was a truly priceless item!
"Ke ke, Mister, what about you? Compared to this, this old man is more curious about how you managed to obtain this woman's Thousand Fan Leaf."
When he said this, Fang Qian did not forget to use his gaze to tease Xiao Yan. This caused the latter to reveal an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and shook his head in a noncommittal manner. He did not reply. Instead, he flicked his finger and a white light flashed. An emerald-green fan the size of a washbasin appeared on the stone table in front of him.
"Here, Thousand Fan Leaf, a thousand-year-old …"
"And it's so fresh. Its medicinal properties are preserved so well, as if it was picked not long ago."
Before the words in Xiao Yan's mouth sounded, Fang Qian quickly opened his mouth and spoke. His words were filled with a rich surprise.
Hearing Fang Qian's words, Xiao Yan's serious expression froze slightly. Then, he hurriedly opened his mouth and said,
"I naturally have my own way of preserving these medicinal ingredients. It's not surprising that they can be preserved so well …"
Hearing this, of course, a hint of suspicion flashed across his old eyes, but in the end, he still nodded. Xiao Yan frowned slightly. His eyes revealed a hint of anticipation as he looked at Fang Qian. There was a hint of eagerness in his tone as he said, "I have already taken out my Blazing Flower.
"I've already taken out everything. Shouldn't you give me my Blazing Flower as well?"
"Ke ke, Mister, you are very impatient."
Fang Qian laughed softly as he teased. Without further ado, he flicked his finger and a jade box appeared on the stone table in front of the few of them.
Xiao Yan did not hesitate even a little as he immediately opened it. Immediately, a fiery-red glow swiftly shot over the interior of this stone room.
Looking at the fiery-red flower in the jade box, Xiao Yan's emotions quickly became excited at this moment.
Xiao Yan swiftly stored the 'Zhenyan Flower' within the jade box. An enormous rock in his heart finally fell to the ground at this moment.
"The Blazing Flower is finally in my hands!"
