26: Take out the remaining picture

Xiao Lei slowly rose and walked towards the back.

After a while, he returned to his seat.

"We have verified that this gentleman can provide the corresponding offer and is not arbitrarily inflating the price. The auction will now continue."

The audience immediately burst into an uproar.

"Someone is actually exchanging a High-Level Profound Fighting Technique for an herb. Are they crazy?!"

Before one person could finish speaking, a companion beside him covered his mouth.

"Shut up, do you want to die?! Someone who can produce a High-Level Profound Fighting Technique is not someone you can casually comment on!"

The person whose mouth was covered struggled, wanting to pry open the hand, but in the midst of their entanglement, they saw Xiao Lei's gaze seem to look over. Both of them immediately quieted down, and even the person whose mouth was covered stopped struggling.

After a long time, Xiao Lei turned his head, and only then did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"High-Level Profound Fighting Technique, once..."

"I offer a High-Level Profound Fighting Technique!"

From Box Number Three, Xiao Yan spoke, which once again stunned the passersby who had already been shocked. It was one thing for there to be one ruthless person offering a High-Level Profound Fighting Technique, but now there was a second one.

Are they crazy?! When did Wutan City have so many High-Level Profound Fighting Techniques?

He took the bait!

Xiao Lei tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, which were about to curl up involuntarily.

The only High-Level Profound Fighting Technique he currently possessed was the Mad Lion's Roar, and its attribute didn't even match his own.

From Xiao Yan, he had copied three Dou Techniques, but truly, only Eight Extremities Collapse had any real combat utility. Suction Palm he could only use to bully weaker opponents.

"I hope Yao Lao doesn't give me Eight Extremities Collapse; that would be a waste of effort!"

Ya Fei on the stage also spoke at this time, "Since the Ranks are the same, the consignor needs to inspect the Dou Technique to make a choice. Please, the guest in Box Number Three, provide a detailed description of the Dou Technique."

Xiao Lei wouldn't go to inspect the Dou Technique right under Yao Lao's nose. He could only leave it to fate; whatever Yao Lao gave, he would accept.

He had already communicated all of this with Ya Fei in advance.

However, he felt that the possibility of it being Eight Extremities Collapse was low. After all, this Dou Technique, when Cultivated to its Peak, was comparable to an Earth Rank Dou Technique, making it more valuable than an ordinary High-Level Profound Fighting Technique.

"Sigh, speaking of which, this Jia Ma Empire is too poor. Otherwise, with the System's copying ability, I could completely copy other people's Dou Techniques, even skipping the learning process!"

Xiao Lei complained helplessly. Unfortunately, he couldn't leave the Jia Ma Empire anytime soon; he still needed to prepare to copy Yun Yun's Cultivation.

Ya Fei, pretending, went somewhere unknown, and only after a long while did she return to the stage, then once again revealed a charming smile.

"Congratulations to Box Number Three for acquiring this ice spirit flame grass!"

"My goodness, there really is a fool who spent a High-Level Profound Fighting Technique for an herb!"

Everyone who didn't understand was bewildered.

"If I remember correctly, although this herb is precious, it can't be compared to a High-Level Profound Fighting Technique, right!"

"I didn't expect herbs to be so profitable. It seems I need to find some time to go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range!"

"Brothers, want to team up...?"

Xiao Lei heard these mercenaries discussing nearby and could only shake his head helplessly.

He merely gambled that Yao Lao wouldn't give up this herb.

After all, a High-Level Profound Fighting Technique was nothing to Yao Lao!

However, with the auction of the ice spirit flame grass, the atmosphere on site was completely stirred up, and the bidding prices for the various two- and three-Rank Medicinal Pills Xiao Lei later auctioned also increased significantly.

"Today, I actually saw so many Medicinal Pills at once. It's truly an eye-opener!"

The sheer quantity and rich variety of the auctioned Medicinal Pills made everyone present exclaim that their trip was not in vain.

"Yes, usually an auction with even one Rank two Medicinal Pill would be considered good, and most of them would be healing Medicinal Pills. I never thought that today I would see so many Medicinal Pills with different effects all at once. I wonder where the Mittel Auction House got so many Medicinal Pills?"

"You still don't know! A big shot has come to Wutan City. He seems to have the strength of a Dou Wang at a young age and is also an Alchemist. I heard that this expert has some... relationship with Young Miss Ya Fei. These Medicinal Pills might be from his hand."

A mercenary whispered, gossiping.

Everyone dared not respond. If it were someone else having an affair with Ya Fei, they would probably have been filled with righteous indignation and roared to the heavens long ago.

But a Dou Wang expert... and an Alchemist!

Even if they had a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to be presumptuous. After all, they heard that a few days ago, Gale Bi, the Clan Chief of the Jia Lie Family, and an Alchemist were killed by this person. The reason was merely that his son and that Alchemist had flirted with one of this person's... uh... friends.

And the Jia Lie Family never caused the slightest stir from beginning to end, and even the Master of the Alchemist who was killed did not take any action.

"Hey, brother, have you heard of this Xiao Lei? Everyone says he's quite divine. Some people who saw him at the time said he was particularly young, with a pair of purple wings, and incredibly handsome! Oh, I'm really envious. When will I be able to become a Dou Wang and have my own Dou Qi Transformation Wings!"

Xiao Lei thought, how presumptuous this person was. He was wearing a black robe; couldn't he tell that he didn't want to talk?

Moreover, he needed to correct him, that incredible handsomeness wasn't because of the purple wings!

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Lei spoke, "I only know that he is an extremely mysterious expert who suddenly rose to prominence. He is over eight feet tall and exceptionally handsome..."

This time it was the person who had just spoken who was speechless, thinking, who cares about what you're saying later!

The two were silent for a moment, and the auction for the incomplete map that Xiao Lei was interested in had already begun.

"This incomplete map was accidentally obtained from the forest. It seems to point to some kind of powerful spiritual object. If one is Opportunity to obtain it, perhaps one can rise to prominence!"

Incomplete maps as auction items were always exceptionally awkward. Most people wouldn't gamble on their value, and Ya Fei also didn't know what kind of confidence Xiao Lei had to put it up for auction.

However, in fact, she also couldn't understand why the previous ice spirit flame grass had fetched such a high price.

And the person who bought the herb... she already knew, it was Xiao Yan and the Alchemist behind him.

"Could Xiao Lei know the Alchemist behind Xiao Yan? This!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Lei's figure once again became mysterious in Ya Fei's heart.

"According to the consignor's request, this incomplete map will also be traded by bartering. You all can bid freely, and the consignor will make the selection."

Discarding complex thoughts, Ya Fei decisively announced the start of the bidding.

As expected, there was not a single bid in the venue, but rather only discussions.

"An incomplete map, isn't this kind of thing a pure scam? Not to mention where the things recorded in it are, just who has the luck to collect all the incomplete maps!"

Many people shook their heads, clearly having no interest at all.

"The person who sent this for auction also doesn't know what they're thinking, bringing such a thing to trick people!"

Xiao Lei merely glanced at the person who spoke upon hearing this, saying nothing more.

The value of an auction item sometimes also depends on where it is auctioned. One should know that in the original work, the last piece of the incomplete map was directly auctioned for the price of a nine-colored Rank eight Medicinal Pill at a trade fair.

"Alright, let's hurry up and move on. What idiot would buy this thing!"

Many people were getting impatient, but just as everyone unanimously thought that the incomplete map would go unsold, a voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears.

"I offer a Profound Rank Dou Technique!"

"It's Box Number Three again!"
