Chapter 13 Strength Enhancement! 4-Star Dou Wang!
Xiao Yan had only taken a few steps when he heard Galeo's voice behind him.
"Xiao Yan, let me give you a piece of advice."
Xiao Yan did not stop.
"You killed people from the Yunlan Sect, you might as well kneel down and apologize to them," Galeo shouted. "Maybe they'll take pity on you and spare your life."
Galeo's subordinates also laughed.
"Young Master is right. Kneeling down to apologize might save our lives."
"A piece of trash killed someone and thinks he can get away? Do you think he can?"
"What kind of power is the Yunlan Sect? And what is the Xiao family?"
"Just wait, the Xiao family will be finished soon."
Xiao Yan stopped in his tracks.
He turned around and came back.
Galeo's smile froze on his face; he hadn't expected Xiao Yan to return.
"What...what are you going to do?" Galeo's voice was a little weak.
Xiao Yan walked up to Jia Lie'ao and looked down at him.
"What did you just say?"
Galeo swallowed hard; he didn't want to back down in front of his subordinates.
"I told you to kneel down and apologize to the Yunlan Sect," Galeo said, forcing a smile. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? You're a piece of trash who killed someone from the Yunlan Sect. Are you just waiting to die if you don't apologize?"
Click.
A crisp sound.
Xiao Yan raised his hand and slapped Galeo's arm, breaking the bone on the spot.
"what!"
Galeo screamed and knelt on the ground.
Galeo's arm was bent at an odd angle, and he was trembling all over from the pain.
"You...you broke my arm..." Galeo's voice trembled. "You dare touch me? The Galeo family will not let you get away with this."
Xiao Yan looked at Jia Lie'ao, his face expressionless.
Galeo's subordinates' expressions changed drastically, and they all surrounded him.
"Xiao Yan, you've gone mad!"
"You dare touch our young master?"
"The Jialie family will not let you get away with this!"
Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at his subordinates.
"Do you want to continue?"
Those subordinates felt a chill run down their spines after Xiao Yan glanced at them.
But the young master was injured, and they couldn't just ignore it.
"Attack together! Avenge the young master!" one of the subordinates shouted.
Several people attacked simultaneously, rushing towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan raised his hand and struck out with his palm.
boom.
The subordinate who was at the front was sent flying backwards and landed on the ground, motionless.
The remaining people's expressions changed drastically, and some turned to run away.
Xiao Yan flashed and struck them down one by one with a single palm strike.
Hey, hey, hey.
After a few muffled thuds, all of his subordinates fell to the ground, none of them able to get up.
Galeo knelt on the ground, completely dumbfounded by the scene before him.
All of Galeo's subordinates died; Xiao Yan killed them all with a single palm strike.
"Xiao...Xiao Yan..." Galeo's voice trembled. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that to you. Please spare my life. I'll never dare to do it again!"
Xiao Yan looked at Galeo and said calmly, "It's too late."
Xiao Yan slammed his palm down.
Galeo's body froze on the spot, and then he slowly collapsed.
The street was deathly silent, and a few passersby stood at a distance, not daring to approach.
Xiao Yan withdrew his hand and turned to leave.
The entrance to the Mittel auction house.
As soon as Xiao Yan arrived here, the system's voice rang in his mind.
[The host has helped Xiao Yan defeat Galeo and has received a reward.]
[Strength Upgrade: Four-Star Dou Wang Star.]
Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly.
A four-star Dou Wang is not far from becoming a Dou Huang.
He murmured to himself, then smiled with satisfaction.
VIP room at Mittel Auction House.
Ya Fei sat in a chair, holding a cup of tea in her hand.
Gu Ni stood to the side, his expression somewhat grave.
"Ya Fei, have you heard? Xiao Yan killed the fourth elder of the Yunlan Sect," Gu Ni said.
Ya Fei put down her teacup. "I've heard about it."
"That's a Dou Wang level expert," Gu Ni said. "How could Xiao Yan, a teenager, possibly kill a Dou Wang?"
"I don't know either," Ya Fei said, "but the news can't be false."
"If that's really the case, then this Xiao Yan..." Gu Ni didn't finish her sentence.
Ya Fei understood what Gu Ni meant; a young man who could kill a Dou Wang level expert had unlimited potential.
"I knew he was no ordinary person when he came to buy the Thousand Spirit Grass last time," Ya Fei said. "I never imagined I would underestimate him."
"Ya Fei, we can't afford to offend someone like that," Gu Ni said.
"I know," Ya Fei said, "but it's best not to offend them."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Ya Fei said.
A maid pushed open the door and came in.
"Miss Ya Fei, Xiao Yan has arrived."
Yafei and Gu Ni exchanged a glance.
"Please come in quickly." Ya Fei stood up.
The maid nodded and turned to leave.
Before long, Xiao Yan was invited into the VIP room.
Ya Fei quickly went to greet her, a smile on her face.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, it's been a long time."
Xiao Yan nodded.
"Please sit down," said Ya Fei.
Xiao Yan sat in the chair.
Ya Fei poured herself a cup of tea and handed it over.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, is there something you need today?"
Xiao Yan took out a list from his storage ring and placed it on the table.
"I need these medicinal herbs."
Ya Fei picked up the list, glanced at it a few times, and her expression changed slightly.
Snow Lingzhi, Ten Thousand Year Fire Lotus, Ice Crystal Orchid... The names of these medicinal herbs are all used in sixth-grade pills.
Ya Fei raised her head and looked at Xiao Yan.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, these medicinal herbs... are all grade six."
"I know," Xiao Yan said.
A storm raged in Ya Fei's heart.
Sixth-grade medicinal herbs? What does he need sixth-grade medicinal herbs for? Alchemy? Is a fifteen-year-old boy really a sixth-grade alchemist?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
There are only a handful of sixth-grade alchemists in the entire Gama Empire, and every one of them is an old monster who has cultivated for decades.
Xiao Yan is only fifteen years old this year. Even if he started learning alchemy from the womb, he could not possibly reach the sixth rank.
But if he wasn't making pills, what would he need these medicinal herbs for?
Ya Fei suppressed her shock, her face showing no sign of surprise.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, these medicinal herbs are very precious," Ya Fei said. "They are quite expensive."
"Money is not a problem," Xiao Yan said.
Ya Fei nodded. "I understand. I will do my best to find them for you. However, there are many medicinal herbs that our auction house does not have at the moment. It will take some time to source them from other places."
"How long?" Xiao Yan asked.
"Three days," Ya Fei said. "We should be able to gather the money in three days."
Xiao Yan stood up. "I'll come to pick it up in three days."
"Okay," Ya Fei said.
Xiao Yan turned and left.
Ya Fei escorted Xiao Yan to the door, and only closed the door after Xiao Yan had walked away.
Ya Fei leaned against the door and let out a long sigh.
Gu Ni walked over and looked at Ya Fei.
"Ya Fei, this Xiao Yan..."
"I know what you're trying to say," Ya Fei interrupted Gu Ni. "A fifteen-year-old boy wants sixth-grade medicinal herbs. Either he's a sixth-grade alchemist, or he has a sixth-grade alchemist behind him. Either way, we can't afford to offend this person."
Gu Ni nodded vigorously.
