71: Zihuo Seal, kick the door!

A large-scale auction would naturally not lack publicity.

After Yuan Yi, City Lord and the others left the Black Emperor Sect, they first individually tallied the items to be auctioned, then collectively submitted them to the Black Emperor Sect, which would handle the unified publicity. The auction itself would also be held at the Black Emperor Sect.

This publicity lasted for several months, and during this time, Xiao Lei on the Black Region Great Plains had already refined enough Medicinal Pills.

Inside the Medicine Cauldron, the light flickered on and off. Xiao Lei changed his hand seals, performing the pill collection technique. The Medicinal Pills in the Medicine Cauldron suddenly emitted a seven-colored glow, then quickly dimmed.

This was a Rank 7 Intermediate Medicinal Pill—the Seven Illusory Green Spirit Pill!

Its effect was, naturally, to rapidly restore Soul body consumption, and it was prepared by Xiao Lei for Venerable Skyfire.

In addition, Xiao Lei had also successfully refined the “Yin and Yang Life Soul Pill,” which was a Rank 7 Intermediate Medicinal Pill. Xiao Lei had to waste one set of Materials to refine it.

However, this also confirmed that Xiao Lei's Alchemy, having replicated Han Feng's Alchemy, had reached the level of Rank 7 Intermediate.

“The Black Seal City auction is about to begin. I'll end my seclusion for now.”

Xiao Lei had returned to Twilight City once in the interim to hand over the Three Thousand Lightning Movement to Xiao Yi Xian through Ya Fei. It was then that he received information about the Black Seal City auction.

“This seclusion has yielded significant gains. My Alchemy has stabilized at Rank 7 Intermediate, and there are also Dou Technique...”

After organizing his gains in his mind, Xiao Lei nodded secretly, very satisfied with this seclusion.

With a large number of replicated Dou Technique as a foundation, Xiao Lei created several Dou Technique using the three different flames. Their effects varied, but all were overbearing and powerful. He just didn't know who would be lucky enough to experience his Dou Technique... He put away the Medicine Cauldron, then casually stirred up sand to cover the traces of his presence, and headed straight for Twilight City.

Meanwhile, in Twilight City, Xiao Yi Xian was chatting with someone.

The latter was talking about Xiao Lei's childhood, and Xiao Yi Xian listened with continuous fascination.

“I say, Xiao Yu, can you stop always talking about my past! And secretly talking about it behind my back!”

Xiao Lei's helpless voice sounded, and then he appeared at the head of the hall, holding his forehead with one hand.

To deal with the Black Emperor Sect auction, the more combat power, the better. Xiao Lei simply notified Xiao Yi Xian and asked her to bring Xiangliu along as well.

With the full resources of the Izumo Empire, Xiao Yi Xian was now at the Peak of a Dou Huang. As for Xiangliu, after consuming the Transformation Pill and transforming, her Cultivation speed greatly increased, and she was already a three-star Dou Zong.

“What's wrong? You didn't say that when you were sleeping on my leg...!”

Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at Xiao Lei. When he was dizzy and disoriented, Xiao Yu often held him in her arms to comfort him... Xiao Lei didn't retort. At that time, he did feel that Xiao Yu's body scent had a calming effect... As for why Xiao Yu came here, it was naturally because Xiao Lei had notified her.

Jia Nan Academy was affected by Han Feng's attack, and it was very likely to involve her. After all, she had the help of Medicinal Pills given by Xiao Lei and was now a seven-star Great Dou Master. She only needed to wait for this year's inner academy selection to begin to perfectly enter the inner academy.

“Big Brother Xiao Lei! I've been waiting so hard for you!”

Since Xiao Yu returned, Xiao Ning naturally did too. He quickly came behind Xiao Lei and diligently massaged Xiao Lei's shoulders.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu thought to herself that her younger brother was truly unpromising.

However, Xiao Ning didn't care. To cling to a powerful figure, one must be quick, precise, and ruthless!

He had fully felt Xiao Lei's strength. Just some casually given Medicinal Pills had allowed him to rise rapidly in the outer academy of Jia Nan Academy, and it seemed that with another year, he might be able to enter the inner academy.

It might even be possible to contend for the top five!

As for their past grievances, Xiao Ning declared that they were all his own problems!

“Big Brother Xiao Lei, I'm telling you, my sister is so popular in Jia Nan Academy, with tons of suitors. As a younger brother, I'm keeping an eye on them for you. Whoever dares to make a move, I'll beat them up!”

Xiao Lei thought to himself, 'This little brother-in-law is trying to take credit, isn't this a denial of my charm!'

Is he, Xiao Lei, not even stronger than those Great Dou Masters and Dou Master playing in the mud in the outer academy of Jia Nan Academy?

Xiao Yu, hearing Xiao Ning mention matters in the academy, also rolled her eyes at Xiao Ning. Under the unique Bloodline suppression between siblings, Xiao Ning shrank his neck... Xiao Yu was annoyed, “What is he saying? If Xiao Lei hears it, he'll think I'm interested in those people!”

Xiao Yu was indeed very popular in the outer academy of Jia Nan Academy, but Xiao Yu had no interest in any of these people, not even making contact.

Only because in her heart there was still a most stunning figure... “Alright, alright, I know you've done a great job!”

Xiao Lei impatiently patted Xiao Ning's hand. His technique was far inferior to Ya Fei's, a completely different experience. He would still wait for Ya Fei!

However, Xiao Lei was very satisfied with his attitude!

“You are now an eight-star Dou Master, right? Digest this Medicinal Pill and you'll be a Great Dou Master!”

This Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill was a Medicinal Pill Xiao Lei refined for practice. This item was very famous in the original work, and Xiao Lei was curious, so he refined one.

Three clear pill patterns were carved on the round Medicinal Pill, and the pill's fragrance permeated, intoxicating Xiao Ning's Divine Soul.

“Thank you, Big Brother!”

Xiao Ning happily took the Medicinal Pill, looked at the few people present, and chose to leave first to absorb the Medicinal Pill... After sending Xiao Ning away, Xiao Lei then looked at Xiao Yi Xian, “I have received accurate information that the bodhi transformation saliva will be auctioned at this auction. I have already prepared the Medicinal Pills, and I will help you bid for it then.”

In the original work, Old Man Ying Shan obtained the bodhi transformation saliva with the Reverting Life Pill. Xiao Lei thought he could also replicate that success.

“Also...”

Xiao Lei extended his palm, and the deep blue exotic flame slowly separated, turning into three colors.

“Three... three exotic flames!”

Xiao Yi Xian exclaimed in surprise. These two Materials, which she considered the most difficult to collect, had actually been collected first.

Tears welled up in her eyes, from excitement... from gratitude... Xiao Yi Xian never dared to imagine how many detours she would have to take and how many hardships she would have to endure to resolve the hidden dangers of the Calamity Poison Body if she hadn't met Xiao Lei... Xiao Yu didn't speak. She had learned about Xiao Yi Xian's situation when they chatted earlier, and she felt some sympathy for her. It was a good thing that she could resolve her own hidden dangers!

As for Xiao Lei having so many female confidantes... Xiao Yu was very self-aware. Not to mention that her relationship with Xiao Lei hadn't been confirmed yet, even if it were, she knew she shouldn't be nosy.

On the Fighting Qi Continent, it was common for powerful individuals to have many female confidantes, and what kind of strength and status did Xiao Lei possess... Xiao Yu thought very clearly about this, “Instead of focusing on others, it's better to Cultivate my relationship with Xiao Lei. Everything else is fleeting!”

Control what you can control, give up what you cannot control, and life will have less suffering... “Little Brother Xiao Lei! I have organized the list for this Black Seal City auction, as well as the various accounts of the Purple Thunder Pavilion from these past days. Please take a look!”

Ya Fei swayed her charming figure into the hall. Xiangliu seemed to sense something, quickly shrunk its body, and crawled out from the corner... Xiao Yu heard this voice and quickly looked over.

She naturally knew Ya Fei. In Wutan City, she was practically known to everyone.

Xiao Yu had known about their connection since she was in Wutan City, but as she just said, Xiao Yu didn't want to meddle in Xiao Lei's affairs in that regard.

Then Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yu both noticed the cyan flame imprint on Ya Fei's forehead...

Ya Fei's Cultivation was low. Although Xiao Lei had assigned her guards, he still left her a sub-flame of the Green Lotus Core Flame for self-defense.

“This is the aura of the cyan flame that Xiao Lei just brought out!”

Ya Fei's Cultivation was low, so she naturally couldn't block their Soul detection.

Then both of them discovered that there seemed to be more than one such imprint, but the others seemed very weak... Xiao Yu and Xiao Yi Xian looked at this imprint and fell silent together, wondering what they were thinking...

That night, Xiao Lei's bedroom door was kicked open...
