"My goodness!"
"These girls are all from the East City Brothel, each one is top-notch, and their prices aren't low!"
"Even someone as wealthy as me only dares to order one at a time."
"The Xiao family actually ordered so many girls at once, that's truly extravagant!"
"That's how life should be! What good is face?"
The crowd in the Mittel Auction House instantly gathered together, discussing animatedly.
Now, the matter of the Xiao family's high-ranking members collectively picking up girls could no longer be concealed.
Not far away.
Xiao Bai watched Xiao Yan leave in a state of collapse, shaking his head and sighing, "Sigh~ Because I got caught in the rain, I have to tear all your umbrellas."
How similar this scene was to Xun'er's escape!
Xiao Bai didn't continue to pay attention to the farce in the hall, turned around and returned to the inner hall. With Ya Fei's help, he found a medicine refining room and prepared to start refining pills!
"Refining pills is no child's play. Are you sure this kid can refine pills?" The old man in blue robes with slightly gray hair said helplessly.
The old man was Master Gu Ni of the Mittel Auction House, a three-star Grand Dou Master! He was also a second-grade alchemist!
He had always used this alchemy room alone.
If Ya Fei hadn't personally spoken, he would never have allowed anyone else in.
"I believe in him."
A hint of a smile flashed in Ya Fei's beautiful peach blossom eyes, and then she kissed Xiao Bai's cheek without hesitation, encouraging him, "Go for it."
"..."
Gu Ni's expression instantly froze, staring incredulously at the two people so affectionate before him.
In that instant, he truly experienced firsthand what a generation gap and age difference meant.
Youth is wonderful...
Ya Fei had only just arrived in Wutan City today, and she was already with twelve-year-old Xiao Bai?
His head was buzzing! He
'd been force-fed a dose of dog food!
"Don't worry! Trust your man."
Xiao Bai also gave Ya Fei a light peck on the red lips without any hesitation.
Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Ni quickly interrupted, "Go on! There are excellent alchemy furnaces in the alchemy room. I'll give you pointers if necessary."
If this dog food continued, he might even want to find a girlfriend at the brothel tonight.
"Go!" Ya Fei said softly.
"Mmm~"
Xiao Bai nodded slightly and confidently stepped into the alchemy room.
Ya Fei leaned lazily against a chair, her jade hand supporting her chin, her curves fully exposed.
Her alluring peach blossom eyes gazed at Xiao Bai with tenderness.
The next instant.
There was a loud 'bang'.
Xiao Bai actually kicked the excellent alchemy furnace that Gu Ni had mentioned aside.
"Xiao Bai! What are you doing?"
Gu Ni's face turned green with anger. He quickly stepped forward, picked up the alchemy furnace, and carefully wiped the dust off it.
This was his treasure!
The kind he cherished more than his wife!
"This alchemy furnace is of poor quality; it can't unleash my full potential," Xiao Bai said, shaking his head slightly.
Having the experience of a seventh-grade alchemist, his standards had risen considerably.
This kind of furnace was indeed good for a second-grade alchemist, but for him, it was simply insufficient.
"You…you dare say my alchemy furnace is of poor quality?"
Gu Ni jumped up and down in anger, pointing at Xiao Bai and cursing, "You worthless bastard! If you don't produce a decent alchemy furnace today, I'm not finished with you!"
"Then watch closely,"
Xiao Bai smiled faintly, slightly raising his right hand.
An ancient cauldron materialized.
Simple and natural, its two ears emanated yin and yang, its three legs stabilized heaven and earth, its round shape encompassing chaos. It embodied the fusion of "Dao" and "Li," containing all things, faintly conveying the feeling of the beginning of heaven and earth, the natural order of the Dao.
Furthermore, the phantom of a true dragon permeated the surroundings, majestic and awe-inspiring!
Just one glance…

Gu Ni was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Compared to this medicine cauldron, his own cauldron was probably not even worth mentioning.
"This is..."
Ya Fei also suddenly stood up, her eyes fixed on the ancient cauldron that had suddenly appeared in Xiao Bai's hand, and exclaimed in astonishment:
"Ranked fourth on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking!"
"The Dragon Soul Cauldron!"
Every medicine cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking is a treasure of the world!
Its price is immeasurable!
Although Ya Fei had already greatly elevated Xiao Bai's abilities and background in her mind, she still did not expect it to be so terrifying!
To be able to provide Xiao Bai with the Dragon Soul Cauldron, she really could not imagine what level of existence the alchemist behind Xiao Bai must be!
Xiao Bai glanced at the figure who had collapsed to the ground and said calmly: "Gu Ni, calm your mind and watch carefully!"
Hearing this,
Gu Ni's mind lifted, and he quickly got up from the ground, his eyes narrowing as he stared intently at Xiao Bai, not daring to delay for the slightest.
At this moment, he realized that although Xiao Bai was young, his alchemy skills were probably far superior to his own.
If he could observe him refining medicine, he might even become a third-grade alchemist in the future!
Xiao Bai lightly patted the Dragon Soul Cauldron.
*Buzz*—A
deep red, rather alluring flame appeared and disappeared within the cauldron.
As the flame leaped, it strangely formed crimson lotus shapes.
"That is…"
Gu Ni gasped, staring in astonishment at the somewhat bewitching deep red flame. After a long while, his pupils narrowed, and he whispered: That's… a strange fire? This guy actually possesses something like that? As an alchemist
, he naturally knew the power of strange fire!
It was something countless alchemists dreamed of!
But this boy, only twelve years old, possessed both the Dragon Soul Cauldron and strange fire—two supreme treasures!
He was truly envious!
Strange fire
refers to flames generated between heaven and earth, of which there are twenty-three types.
The enchanting flame in the Dragon Soul Cauldron was called: Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire!
It could incinerate everything with the power of karmic fire!
It ranked eighth on the Strange Fire Ranking!
It was even three places higher than the Bone Spirit Cold Fire wielded by Yao Chen!
However, this was inherent to the Dragon Soul Cauldron, and Xiao Bai could only use it when refining medicine.
With the appearance of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, the surrounding air instantly became scorching, and the temperature continued to rise.
"Today will surely be the best lesson I have ever learned in my long life!" "
Gu Ni muttered to himself.
He already sensed that the alchemy process was about to begin, and the alchemy skills Xiao Bai would display would be unprecedented!
It might even surpass the techniques of the Pill King Gu He!
"..."
Xiao Bai ignored the two astonished people and focused intently on the cauldron.
He grabbed the herbs beside him and, to Gu Ni's bewildered gaze, threw them all into the cauldron.
"?"
Gu Ni was completely stunned.
Alchemy requires a gradual process, one step at a time. Otherwise, the herbs would be damaged, resulting in failure or even an explosion!
Even a three-year-old child knows this, but Xiao Bai, on whom he had placed such high hopes, seemed completely oblivious.
Judging from this, he was even less skilled than his alchemy apprentices!
Seeing the herbs about to be destroyed, Gu Ni couldn't help but waile, "If you can't alchemy, don't try again! From now on, you'll sit at the children's table when you eat!"
"Such a fine cauldron!"
"Such a strange fire!" "
To have it fall into your hands is a complete waste of its potential!"
