"Are you also a Dou Practitioner?"
Ya Fei and Gu Ni looked at Xiao Yi Xian in shock, asking the question.
Being stared at so intently by the two of them, Xiao Yi Xian was a little embarrassed.
"My talent isn't comparable to Sister Yan'er and Sister Xun'er."
"I was only a seventh-stage Dou Disciple to begin with. After drinking this medicinal liquid, I only broke through to the ninth-stage Dou Disciple."
Ninth-stage Dou Disciple… only?
Hearing this familiar tone for the third time, Gu Ni's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Her talent wasn't considered great, yet drinking this medicinal liquid still boosted her by two stages of Dou Disciple. Was this the so-called accelerated cultivation?
What a joke!
This was clearly a medicinal liquid that directly increased one's Dou Disciple!
Ya Fei looked at Qi Yan'er, a little stunned, her red lips slightly dry.
"Sister Yan'er, as far as I know, this medicinal liquid only increases the cultivation speed for those below the Dou Practitioner stage, right? How come the effect now is a direct increase in Dou Disciple?"
"I don't know, either~"
Qi Yan'er shook her little head, equally puzzled.
"My father only said this medicinal liquid could accelerate cultivation, he didn't say it could increase Dou Disciple!"
"This old man understands!"
Gu Ni suddenly realized something.
"Old geezer, what do you understand?"
Qi Yan'er rolled her eyes.
"I understand why your father didn't tell you the truth about this medicinal liquid!"
Gu Ni's old face was grave as he spoke in a low voice:
"He must have been afraid you'd become too reliant on medicinal pills to boost your Dou Qi. That's why he deliberately kept it from you."
"Oh! You're right!"
Qi Yan'er nodded her head, then looked at Gu Ni with approval. "I didn't expect you, you old coot, to be so quick this time!"
"Heh heh…"
Gu Ni gave a dry laugh.
Even though it was praise, why did it make him feel so uncomfortable?
"Uncle Gu Ni, this medicinal liquid has such an astonishing effect. I wonder, what grade is it?"
Ya Fei asked curiously.
"The finest of the third rank!"
Gu Ni's expression turned serious.
"Just the third rank?"
Qi Yan'er and the others were somewhat surprised by Gu Ni's words.
"That's right."
Gu Ni stated solemnly: "Although the effect of this medicinal liquid is extremely potent, it can only enhance the Dou Disciple of those below the Dou Practitioner level, so it doesn't reach the level of a fourth-rank pill."
"Is that so? Then let's auction it as a third-rank pill!"
Shaking her small hand dismissively, Qi Yan'er was very casual.
"However..."
Gu Ni turned his gaze towards Ya Fei at this moment.
"Although this medicinal liquid is only a third grade, it will definitely fetch the price of a fourth grade, wouldn't you agree, Miss Ya Fei?"
"I do have the confidence to sell it for the price of a fourth grade pill."
Ya Fei nodded slightly, saying softly, "But this is only Wutan City. It's probably difficult to get an extremely high price."
Qi Yan'er smiled sweetly: "I don't care how much we get, as long as it helps Sister Ya Fei!"
Seeing Qi Yan'er's lack of concern, Ya Fei felt a twinge of guilt. Suddenly, she had an idea.
"I have a way!"
"What way?"
Everyone was surprised.
A stunning smile curved Ya Fei's lips.
"Sister Yan'er, didn't you say your father diluted this medicine with water?"
"So, couldn't we add more water?"
"Of course, we can!"
Qi Yan'er blinked her big eyes in agreement.
Hearing this, Ya Fei immediately turned her gaze to Gu Ni.
"Uncle Gu Ni, I'll leave the rest to you."
"Alright! I'll dilute it right away!"
Gu Ni held the small porcelain bottle excitedly.
"Even if this drop of medicinal liquid is diluted, it shouldn't be below the third rank. This way, we can maximize the profit!"
While Gu Ni was frantically diluting the medicinal liquid…
A small ring hidden in the shadows couldn't help but tremble.
"What a waste, what a waste!"
This person was none other than the Yao Chen, who had followed them back to Wutan City!
No one understood the value of this medicinal liquid better than he did.
A medicinal liquid that could significantly boost one's Dou Disciple, diluted just like that!
A spendthrift!
This little Qi Yan'er is truly a spendthrift!
To find a girlfriend for her father, she's being incredibly generous!
But... can this medicinal liquid really be diluted with water?
"Eh?"
Just as Yao Chen was inwardly grumbling, a voice of surprise suddenly reached his old ears.
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Yao Chen immediately froze!
No way? Could this old man be so unlucky?
At this moment, a mysterious figure in a black robe had arrived in the corner.
Those dark eyes were fixed on the black ring on his foot, filled with joy:
"Found it!"
"I actually found it!"
"Thank the heavens, you haven't forsaken me!"
Yao Chen: o(╥﹏╥)o Damn it, why is this old man's life so bitter?
Why am I so unlucky? If the heavens want me dead, just say so!
Why did you let this idiot Xiao Yan find me?
The person in the black robe was none other than...
Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family! Xiao Yan was in a panic after throwing away the ring that was his mother's relic.
After searching the Xiao family without finding anything, he could only go out to look.
To conceal his purpose, he specifically prepared a black robe.
After inquiring, he learned that the ring had once been obtained by Jia Lie Ao, and then thrown away!
Tossing and turning, Xiao Yan, without any leads, had to come to the Mittel Auction House to inquire!
Directly inquiring would be too obvious.
The clever Xiao Yan got a ring from a general store to have it appraised!
And now...
The appraiser just happened to be Gu Ni!
"Hmm?"
After Gu Ni mixed the medicinal liquid with water, he gave it to Ya Fei, who was preparing to take Qi Yan'er and the others to the auction house.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw the black-robed man at the door!
Gu Ni, who had just been thoroughly humiliated by Qi Yan'er, immediately scowled, his old face darkening. "I told you, you young fool, to get lost! Why are you still here, holding a broken ring, waiting for me?"
"Uh…"
Hearing the scolding from behind, a fierce glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he turned around.
But when he saw the several girls behind Gu Ni, he froze.
No way? Could it really be such a coincidence?
Qi Yan'er tilted her head, her big eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, and her small mouth curved into a smile. "Why does this person's figure look so familiar?"
"Sister Xun'er, what do you think?"
Qi Yan'er's words made Xiao Xun'er shake her head helplessly.
"Maybe they've met before!"
With her perception, how could she not realize that the black-robed man was Xiao Yan?
But she was just pretending not to know!
And there was really no need to know in the future!
"Master Gu Ni, don't worry, I'm not here for you. I'll leave now."
Xiao Yan didn't have Yao Chen's help right now, and that "childish" voice further exposed his identity.
With that, Xiao Yan immediately turned and strode towards the entrance of the auction house.
Gu Ni looked at Xiao Yan's back, his eyes filled with anger:
"This young man is truly strange. He claims a broken ring conceals a Dou Emperor, what a load of crap!"
"To think he dares to come to the Mittel Auction House to swindle! If it weren't for his youth, I would have had him beaten out long ago!"
Seeing Gu Ni so furious, Qi Yan'er suddenly spoke seriously: "Old man, have you ever considered that perhaps he's telling the truth?"
"The truth?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ni and the others were stunned, frozen in place! ...
