Main Auction: The largest auction house in Wu Tan City and a branch of the richest family of the Jia Ma kingdom, the Main Family.
The Prime Minister's family was extremely ancient and had been a quite powerful force in the Jia Ma Empire for several centuries. Their network is impressive and some rumors even claim that the Prime Minister's family has close ties to the Jia Ma royal family.
In the Empire, the Main Family, the Nalan Family, and the Ritter Family were the three largest families and had various connections in the commercial and military worlds.
Therefore, with the support of the Premier family, no matter how attractive the auction's profits were, no one dared to try against them.

Looking at the auction house at the end of the street, Xiao Yan turned into a side alley and quickly put on a black robe.
TL: Imagine harry potter's school robe
The black robe not only covered Xiao Yan's face, but also changed his thin body to be much wider. Even if Xue Er was looking at that cloaked figure, she would not be able to realize that it was Xiao Yan …
After being covered in a black robe, Xiao Yan heaved a sigh of relief. It was not that Xiao Yan was too cautious, but rather that Foundation Elixir was too precious. For the clan, the appeal of Foundation Elixirs was immense. If one could mass produce it, then it meant that the younger generation of the clan would grow at an accelerated pace, which would help the clan increase their strength and in turn lead to a positive cycle.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Yan could only choose to hide himself….
Carefully touching the somewhat cold bottle of White Jade, Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the alley and went towards the auction house at the end of the road.
Under the watchful gaze by the fully armored guards, Xiao Yan walked into the auction house nonstop.
As soon as Xiao Yan entered the house, the scorching hot feeling of the sun was replaced with a cool feeling. It made people feel as if they had stepped into a new world.
Sweeping through the luxurious hall, Xiao Yan quickly found a side room. On the door leading to the room there is the inscription “Expection” Room.
Walking inside, the room was quite empty and only a middle-aged man was clearly bored sitting there. Hearing the door open, the man raised his head and, upon seeing the black-robed Xiao Yan, his brows furrowed slightly. But soon, his facial expression turned into a professional smile: “Master, are you planning on checking something out?”
“Iya.” Under the black robe, a dry and old voice lightly floated out. It was Yao Lao's voice!
Xiao Yan walked over and placed the White Jade bottle on the table in front of the middle-aged man.
“This is?” Looking puzzled, the middle-aged man carefully picked up the White Jade bottle and sniffed it. His facial expression immediately changed and when he looked back at that black-robed figure, his gaze had a hint of respect: “Master, you are an Alchemist?”
“Iya.” The old voice came out again.
“May I ask, what....the pills are in this bottle? What function? ” Hearing that he was dealing with an alchemist, the middle-aged man asked with more respect.
“Foundation Elixir: It can increase the speed of Dou Qi training but is only useful for people below the Dou Zhe level.”
“Oh? It could increase the speed of Dou Qi training? ” Hearing Yao Lao's words, the middle-aged man's expression changed. Everyone knew that Dou Qi could only be trained following a set formula and because the Qi Paths for individuals were extremely weak at this point, if the medicinal effects were too ferocious, it was not, then the Qi Path will explode and that person will die …
“My elixir medicine has no side effects and its medicinal power is so peaceful that it will not cause such a thing to happen. You don't have to worry about it. ” As if he could understand what the middle-aged man was thinking, the wrinkled voice calmly explained.
His expression changed once again, the middle-aged man carefully placed the bottle of White Jade on the table in front of him and respectfully asked: “Master, can you wait for a moment? I need to ask our auction master Gu Ni to check out this Elixir! ”
The middle-aged man quickly nodded and hurriedly left the room.
Sitting on a chair, Xiao Yao remained silent and made no attempt to speak to Yao Lao. This is someone else's place and being careful is better than not. Who knows if there are things to listen to in their conversation.
After waiting in the room for a while, the middle-aged man returned with a green-robed elder with slightly whitened hair.
On the elder's chest was not a gold star but rather something like an alchemy furnace and on top of the alchemy furnace were two silver lines that glittered with elegance.
“Master, this is our Master Gu Ni auction. He's three little Da Do Shi! At the same time, he was also a tier two Alchemist! ” The middle-aged man respectfully introduced the newcomer.
Hearing the identity of the elder, Xiao Yan's brows instinctively surged. This was the first time he had met an alchemist beside Yao Lao. He carefully checked back on the older ones.
The elder had a red face and although his green robe looked ordinary, there were flakes of light soaring above him. Clearly, this robe had some kind of Monster Core implanted into it. On the general face of the elder was the ever-present arrogance, something that all Alchemists possessed.
As Xiao Yan examined Gu Ni, Gu Ni also studied the person in front of him. Alchemists unlike Dou Zhes and Alchemists were highly sought after by various powers. Therefore, as Gu Ni studied Xiao Yan, he also tried to guess who the Alchemist was.
The middle-aged man carefully picked up the Jade bottle on the table and gave it to Gu Ni …
Taking the bottle of White Jade, Gu Ni first sniffed the sweet scent while her old eyes were slightly closed. Slightly tilting the bottle, a drop of green liquid slowly slid from the opening of the bottle until it landed in the middle of Gu Ni's palm.
Gazing at that green liquid, Gu Ni took out a silver needle and at the tip of the needle showed a slight fluctuation of Dou Qi. It quietly slipped into the green liquid and slowly stirred …
With the movement of the needle, Gu Ni's calm face turned into a serious expression. A moment later, he put the green liquid back into the jade bottle. When he saw Xiao Yan again, his arrogant face had a hint of respect. Turning towards the middle-aged man, he said: “The elixir is on the second level. Everything said before is true! ”
Hearing that, the middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief and excitedly smiled at Xiao Yan: “Master, are you planning to auction this Elixir?”
“Yup, can you auction it as fast as possible?”
“Hehe, no problem. Sir, take this and go to the auction room first. Fortunately, we are holding an auction there right now and your Elixir will be auctioned soon! ” The middle-aged man smiled as he handed him a pitch-black metal card.
“Good.” Taking out the metal card, Xiao Yan did not wait and immediately left the room.
“Gu Ni Master, is he really an Alchemist?” Only after Xiao Yan left their gaze did the middle-aged man whisper softly to Gu Ni.
“Yes, he's an Alchemist. Nimble Soul Perception, it can't be wrong.. ”Gu Ni nodded but his brows furrowed and he muttered:“ But where did it come from? I have never heard of any Alchemist who can refine a tier two pill in Wu Tan City. ”
“Should I do research?”
Gu Ni paused for a moment before shaking his head: “Don't now. All alchemists have strange temperaments and if he notices you trying to dig into his history, he will get a bad impression from the auction. Being on the bad side of the mysterious Alchemist was not a smart move. ”
Turning around, Gu Ni lightly said: “For him to have a good impression of our auction, you should know how to do it right?”
“Hehe, I understand.”
“Remember, even though we can't be friends with him, we can't offend him either. Or... ”Leaving some cold words, Gu Ni also left the room.
