BTTH: Breaking The Simulation

In the eyes of the Xiao family, Xiao Feng's ability to defeat Nalan Yanran, a stronger opponent, and win two precious four-grade pills was enough to make them proud. Even if Xiao Feng lost to Nalan Yanran three years later, it would still be considered an honorable defeat, and no one would think he had disgraced the Xiao family.

After all, Nalan Yanran was the young mistress of the Yunlan Sect, not only personally taught by a Dou Emperor powerhouse but also able to take pills refined by the Dan King, Gu He.

Unless Xiao Feng had some extraordinary means, how could he possibly surpass Nalan Yanran?

Led by Xiao Zhan, the two soon arrived at the Primer Auction House.

The Primer Auction House is the largest auction venue in Wutan City and is owned by the wealthiest family in the Jia Ma Empire—the Primer Family!

The Primer Family has a long history, having developed in the Jia Ma Empire for hundreds of years, with industries spanning various sectors. Along with the Nalan and Mu families, it is considered one of the three giants of Jia Ma.

Shortly after Xiao Feng and Xiao Zhan entered the auction house, Xiao Yan, wearing a black robe, also walked into the Primer Auction House.

The reason Xiao Yan was here was that he had run out of money and planned to sell some pills to earn some gold coins.

Yao Lao had refined three batches of Foundation Elixirs and three Nourishing Pills. Xiao Yan had given all the Nourishing Pills to Xiao Feng, while he kept the Foundation Elixirs for himself.

Each batch of Foundation Elixir was enough for Xiao Yan to use for about two months. He couldn't use up so much elixir in a short period, so he decided to sell two batches to earn some gold coins.

After Master Gu Ni of the Primer Auction House verified the authenticity of the Foundation Elixir, Xiao Yan was led by an auction house maid to the auction hall where the auction was being held.

As soon as he entered the auction hall, the lights dimmed, and the overwhelming noise hit him, making Xiao Yan frown.

Xiao Yan found an inconspicuous corner to sit down and then began to observe the situation in the auction hall.

The auction hall was very spacious, able to accommodate thousands of people without feeling crowded.

On the auction platform in the center of the hall stood a beautiful woman in a red dress, introducing the auction items to the crowd in a sweet voice.

Looking at the beautiful woman in the red dress with her voluptuous and charming figure, Xiao Yan couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Seductress."

She was indeed the well-known beauty of Wutan City, the chief auctioneer of the Primer Auction House—Ya Fei!

Her mature and charming demeanor had made many people fall for her. Most of the guests present were probably here for her.

"Hmm? Father and Third Brother?"

When Xiao Yan noticed Xiao Zhan and Xiao Feng sitting in the front row, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "Could they be interested in this woman too?"

No way!!!

Xiao Yan quickly dismissed this idea because he noticed that not far from Xiao Feng and Xiao Zhan, members of the Jia Lie family and the Ao Ba family were also present, including the heads of both families.

Xiao Yan muttered to himself, "Could it be that there's something in this auction that interests them?"

After auctioning off the current item, Ya Fei suddenly smiled and said, "Everyone, we have just received a new auction item that I believe you will be very interested in."

As she spoke, she raised her jade-like hand and waved lightly. A maid in a green dress quickly walked onto the auction platform, holding a silver tray.

On the silver tray were two white jade bottles.

Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, Ya Fei picked up one of the white jade bottles and introduced it with a smile: "This is the Foundation Elixir, a second-grade pill."

The entire auction hall was silent for a moment, and then the crowd began to discuss it.

Although there were pills for sale in Wutan City, they were mainly first-grade pills. Second-grade pills were relatively rare.

"The most amazing thing about this elixir is that it is effective for those below the Dou Disciple level. Using this elixir for a medicinal bath can increase the cultivation speed of Dou Disciple practitioners several times."

With a voice that could make one's bones go weak, Ya Fei continued, "If you want your descendants to become young geniuses quickly, don't miss this chance~"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng's face changed slightly.

The Foundation Elixir was a unique creation of Yao Lao. Since it appeared on the auction stage, it meant that Xiao Yan, that brat, was also here.

"Miss Ya Fei, can the meridians of Dou Disciple level practitioners withstand the impact of the pill's power?"

Although Ya Fei's words were enticing, someone couldn't help but raise a question.

"This elixir has been personally verified by Master Gu Ni. It is a genuine second-grade pill and will not have any problems."

Ya Fei calmly replied, "If anyone does have an issue after using this elixir, you can come to the Primer Auction House to settle it."

Hearing Ya Fei's assurance, the crowd's worries were dispelled.

"The starting price for this elixir is 8,000 gold coins. There are two batches for auction, and each bid increment must be no less than 100 gold coins. Interested buyers can start bidding now."

Ya Fei's gaze swept across the hall, finally resting on the three family heads, who were clearly the most competitive bidders for the Foundation Elixir.

"8,500 gold coins!"

"9,000 gold coins!"

"10,000 gold coins..."

As soon as Ya Fei finished speaking, the auction hall was filled with the sounds of bids, quickly reaching 15,000 gold coins.

When the bidding reached 18,000 gold coins, the pace of the bids slowed down.

With gray hair and an old face, Jia Lie Bi finally spoke leisurely, "20,000 gold coins!"

Seeing this, Ao Ba family head Ao Ba Pa unwillingly called out, "22,000 gold coins!"

"30,000 gold coins!"

Before Xiao Feng could react, Xiao Zhan suddenly raised the bid, raising the price of the Foundation Elixir to a new height.

Xiao Yan was also shocked by Xiao Zhan's bid, showing a wry smile and feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

"Chief Xiao is indeed bold!"

Jia Lie Bi sneered, "But a mere 30,000 gold coins can't scare me, 31,000 gold coins!"

Ao Ba Pa didn't hesitate either and called out again, "31,500 gold coins!"

Just as Xiao Zhan was about to bid again, Xiao Feng suddenly tugged on his sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Father, this elixir is likely made by Xiao Yan's master. Otherwise, Xiao Yan's cultivation speed wouldn't be so fast. Don't be foolish and become the biggest spender."

"..."

Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Xiao Zhan's expression changed slightly, and he finally gave up on continuing to bid.
