I'm in Battle Through the Heavens, and I have a control panel.

Chapter 47 Advanced Xuan-Rank Combat Techniques

Gu Ni exclaimed, "Ya Fei, did you go to buy supplies? How did you manage to get so many combat techniques?"

Ya Fei smiled helplessly: "You could say it's a purchase, I got it from Obama's company."

Gu Ni was taken aback: "From where? The Obama family? The Obama family isn't..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized, "Ah! Could it be that these fighting techniques and cultivation methods were brought by that junior member of the Xiao family?"

Ya Fei nodded: "Mm."

Gu Ni was immediately full of admiration: "Others who get their hands on fighting techniques and cultivation methods keep them tightly under wraps, but this kid is different; he just brings them over to sell..."

He paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something: "Oh right, this kid is an alchemist, he definitely doesn't lack these things."

Ya Fei nodded, agreeing with what Gu Ni said.

He then handed Xiao Zheng's list of medicinal herbs to Gu Ni: "Mr. Xiao needs to buy some more medicinal herbs. What do you think he intends to do with them?"

Gu Ni took the list and glanced at it, his face showing surprise: "This should be a list for refining grade three and grade four poisons."

"poison?"

Ya Fei's heart skipped a beat. She had sensed something was off about the combination of these medicinal herbs, but she hadn't expected them to be used to make poison. "What does he want to do with all this poison?"

Gu Ni shook his head: "Who knows?"

He paused, then said with a sigh, "It seems the rumors circulating outside are inaccurate. This kid's alchemy skills are probably not second-grade, but... third... fourth-grade!"

"What?! Fourth rank?!"

Ya Fei was shocked and exclaimed, "He's only sixteen! A sixteen-year-old fourth-grade alchemist? Hiss... That's terrifying!"

Alchemists are already rare in the Gama Empire, and fourth-grade alchemists are even rarer, each one being highly sought after by various powerful forces.

A sixteen-year-old fourth-grade alchemist is unheard of!

Ya Fei quickly calmed down: "No, we need to report Xiao Zheng's matter to the higher-ups immediately."

"At this rate of growth, it won't be long before he comes into contact with top-tier forces."

"Judging from the way he destroyed the Obama family, his actions were extremely eccentric."

"We must remind the higher-ups that if they have any dealings with Xiao Zheng in the future, they must treat him well and absolutely not make enemies with him, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

……

The next day.

The morning sunlight pierced through the thin mist of Wutan City, casting a faint golden glow on the bluestone pavement.

Xiao Zheng changed into a well-tailored black robe and left the inn together with Xiao Yixian, who was still dressed in white, heading towards the Mittel Auction House.

Before long, the two arrived at the Mittel auction house.

Just as Xiao Zheng was about to enter the auction house, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Xiao Zheng".

He paused, turned around, and saw Xiao Zhan walking towards him with the Xiao family's eldest elder.

The elder's gaze flickered when he saw Xiao Zheng, and his face showed a hint of awkwardness.

Xiao Zheng glanced at the Grand Elder and thought that this guy probably had his eye on him before.

Xiao Zheng smiled at Xiao Zhan and said, "Uncle Xiao."

He ignored the elder standing to the side, which made the latter even more embarrassed.

Xiao Zhan strode forward, a gentle smile on his face: "Since we've run into each other here, why don't we go in together?"

Xiao Zheng nodded, and then together with Xiao Yixian and Xiao Zhan, they entered the auction house.

Many people along the way saw the Xiao family patriarch, who treated Xiao Zheng, a young man, with humility and politeness, and were all curious about Xiao Zheng's identity.

After they reached their seats, Xiao Zhan invited, "Why don't we sit together?"

This time, Xiao Zheng disagreed, shaking his head and saying, "No, Little Fairy Doctor and I will just find a spot anywhere."

Without waiting for Xiao Zhan's response, he took Little Fairy Doctor's hand and turned to leave.

Xiao Zheng's sole purpose in coming to Wutan City was to learn combat techniques and skills. If Xiao Zhan had come alone, he wouldn't have minded sitting with him.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhan also had a Grand Elder by his side.

Having read the original novel, Xiao Zheng had a preconceived notion and didn't have a good impression of the Xiao family's eldest elder.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan sighed helplessly, misunderstanding Xiao Zheng's refusal as a way of not wanting to have any further involvement with the Xiao family.

However, he could understand that after Xiao Zheng's parents sacrificed their lives, the Xiao family only gave a token amount of compensation and then rarely inquired about their situation.

Now that the child has grown up and doesn't want to have anything to do with the Xiao family, it's understandable.

Shortly after Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor found a place to sit down, the lights in the auction house suddenly dimmed, with only the auction stage in front illuminated by spotlights.

Dressed in a striking red gown, the alluring Ya Fei gracefully walked onto the stage. Glancing around, she announced in a charming voice, "Thank you, distinguished guests, for attending the Mittel Auction House. The auction is now officially open!"

As she finished speaking, the auction officially began.

One by one, the auction items were brought to the stage for auction. However, at first they were just ordinary items, and Xiao Zheng had no interest in them at all, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.

Little Fairy Doctor only glanced at the auction stage occasionally, and mostly sat quietly.

About half an hour later, as the final item was brought to the stage, Xiao Zheng finally became interested.

Ya Fei stood beside a table, pointing to a parchment scroll on it, and said, "The next item to be auctioned is one of the two highlight items of this auction: a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill with no attribute—the Star-Shaking Whip!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

"What? Two grand finale items?"

"Wasn't it said that there would only be one high-level combat skill as the grand finale this time?"

"Mitter Auction House is quite well hidden."

Ya Fei raised her hand to quell the crowd's discussion and explained the Star-Shaking Whip: "This Star-Shaking Whip can condense the internal battle qi into a whip shape, swing it over long distances, has a wide attack range, and is extremely powerful. It is said that if one reaches the Dou Huang level, it will also have special effects."

She paused, then announced the starting bid: "The starting bid for this dueling skill is 20 gold coins! Each bid must be at least 1 gold coins higher. Bidding begins now!"

"The starting bid is 20 gold coins? That's expensive!"

"Brother! This is a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill; the starting bid is already very low."

"Yes, this price isn't outrageous."

Xiao Zheng stared at the scroll on the table with great interest.

This fighting technique can condense fighting energy into a whip. I wonder what special effects it would produce if it were cultivated to its peak.

However, although he was very interested in this fighting technique, he did not rush to make a bid, but waited and see.

However, he did not rush to make a move, but sat still and observed the situation.

Customers from all four sides began to quote prices one after another.

"25 million!"

"28 million!"

"30 million!"

The price soared, breaking the 30 gold coin mark in a short time.

Just then, a slightly sinister voice rang out: "35!"

Xiao Zheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person making the offer was Jia Liebi, the head of the Jia Lie family.

He raised his eyebrows. This guy's here too?

No sooner had Jia Liebi finished speaking than Xiao Zhan, sitting at another seat, spoke up: "37."

Upon hearing this, Jialiebi immediately turned and glared angrily at Xiao Zhan.

He had suffered a loss at Xiao Zhan's hands before due to Xiao Zhan's malicious price gouging, but he never expected that Xiao Zhan would compete with him again this time!

I don't know if this bastard really wants to buy this time, or if he's just trying to drive up the price.

Now that Jialiebi is past his prime and his family has limited funds, 50 is the limit. He wouldn't have made the offer unless he wanted to enhance Jialiebi's financial standing.

Jialiebi was very worried that Xiao Zhan would raise the price of that high-level Xuan-rank fighting skill to the point where he couldn't afford it!

If Xiao Zhan continues to raise the price, he will have no choice but to give up on the "Shaking Star Whip".

Jialiebi stared intently at Xiao Zhan, his eyes fierce, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Xiao Zhan, however, did not care at all. He simply picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, and remained calm and composed.

Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow when he saw this.

He didn't expect Xiao Zhan to make a move so suddenly. Judging from this, could it be that he's trying to maliciously raise the price again?

If that's the case, then the price of the "Star-Shaking Whip" will probably be driven up to an outrageous level.

With this in mind, Xiao Zheng decided to make an offer.

I wonder if Xiao Zhan, considering his interest in this fighting technique, will stop raising the price!
