Chapter 28: Still Discovered by Ya Fei

"Oh," Xiao Se replied with great calm.

"Are you not shocked? This is a Tier 2 medicinal pill, a pill that can help a Dou Zhe break through quickly without any side effects!" Xiao Ning said, clearly astonished.

"Shocked is one thing, but this Pei Yuan Spirit Liquid is still too far out of our reach. Not to mention the price, even if we had it, we are currently only in the stage of cultivating Dou Zhi Qi and cannot use it. Instead of chasing after this ethereal pill, we should focus on cultivating hard to break through to the rank of Dou Zhe sooner," Xiao Se said indifferently.

The three elders of the Xiao clan sitting in front of them exchanged glances. They nodded in unison, silently agreeing with Xiao Se’s words.

The Great Elder spoke earnestly to Xiao Ning, "Ning’er, Xiao Se is right. Once the auction ends, you should hurry back and cultivate. Even if our Xiao clan were to bid on the Pei Yuan Spirit Liquid today, it would only be given to high-ranking Dou Zhe or direct family members who have made significant contributions, to strengthen the backbone of the clan."

"I understand, Grandfather." He might have turned a deaf ear to Xiao Se, but he would never dare to disregard his grandfather, the Great Elder of the Xiao clan.

Seeing Xiao Ning’s dejected expression, Xiao Se smiled helplessly and stopped discussing the Pei Yuan Spirit Liquid with him. His gaze shifted slightly to the distance, where he noticed that members of the Jialie and Obapa clans had also been invited into the auction hall.

Among the crowd from the Jialie clan, Xiao Se suddenly felt a cold, spiteful gaze. Focusing his eyes, he realized it was Jialie Ao, whom he had castrated in the market over a month ago.

Jialie Ao was scanning the Xiao clan members back and forth. Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze after failing to find his target, he happened to lock eyes with Xiao Se. He sneered coldly, his lips moving as if to say, "You little brat of the Xiao clan, don’t ever fall into this young master’s hands, otherwise, hehe..."

Xiao Se squinted at Jialie Ao and gave a faint smile, though a cold glint flashed in his lowered eyes. He withdrew his focus, having no intention of bickering with Jialie Ao. Clearly, if the other party crossed him, he would not let him off easily.

After mentally practicing the "Crane-Catching, Dragon-Seizing" technique a few times, he turned his attention to the auction stage.

Under the spotlight, Ya Fei walked onto the stage with elegant steps, wearing a red cheongsam. The form-fitting dress clung to her exquisite, curvaceous figure, drawing fiery gazes from nearly everyone in the room.

Even Xiao Zhan, the Clan Head of the Xiao clan, was no exception.

Noticing Xiao Zhan’s intense gaze, Xiao Se twitched the corner of his mouth, silently cursing him for being an old lecher. He then withdrew his gaze, continuing to practice the "Crane-Catching, Dragon-Seizing" technique, which he had scavenged from Tang San’s storage belt.

Xiao Se estimated that its power might be mediocre, effective only against opponents of the same level and nearly useless once one reached the rank of Da Dou Shi. However, its intricacy was remarkable, comparable to some low-grade Xuan-tier Dou Techniques. If used well, it might even deflect some direct, powerful close-combat techniques of medium or high Xuan-tier.

Ya Fei’s seductive red lips parted slightly as she spoke to the crowd with a charming smile. Her crisp, delicate voice, combined with her alluring figure that stirred primal heat in the men, instantly ignited the atmosphere.

Seeing the hall erupt with excitement, a flicker of triumph crossed Ya Fei’s heart. After more than a month of adaptation, she clearly understood the immense attraction her beauty held over men. Her red lips curled slightly as her beautiful eyes swept over the audience. When her gaze passed over the youth sitting behind
