Huang Xianyu nodded slightly. "No matter how much it costs, I have to get that item because I need it to concoct my pills. Without that ingredient, my pills will not be perfect, and their effects will be diminished."
Huang Xiaotian looked towards the exit on the first floor. "For now, we just have to wait and hope that the people from the Feng Clan won't come to the auction this time, or you'll have to compete with them for that item."
Huang Xianyu released a heavy sigh. "I'm sure that not only the Feng Clan is interested in that item, but people from other clans also want to get it, so the competition this time will be tough."
"Yeah." Huang Xiaotian turned to the next room. 'That brat's cultivation is still low, but somehow, I feel there's something else about him. Additionally, I felt something from inside his body, but I can't confirm it.'

"Huang Xiaotian and Huang Xianyu seem to be targeting something in this auction." Feng Shen turned to his two friends. "Do you two know anything about that?"
Zhang Fei let out a soft sigh. "Old Feng, you know this auction house only shares important information with some clans like your Feng Clan, so I have no information about the items they're after. If you're curious, you can contact people from your clan, and you'll get information about it."
Feng Shen contacted someone from the Feng Clan, but he didn't get a response right away, so he decided to wait until that person answered him.
"So, do you have a wife?" Chen Xinyan asked Tang Xiao's clone again.
Tang Xiao's clone rubbed the back of his head and showed the number two with his other hand. "Senior, I already have two wives, and Sun Xiang knows them."
"Huh?" Chen Xinyan looked at him in astonishment because she knew that in the outside world one couldn't have more than one wife. "How can you have two wives out there? How far has your relationship with Xiang'er progressed?"
"This." Tang Xiao's clone felt confused about how to explain his situation to her, particularly regarding her relationship with Tang Yin. "Senior, I don't know how to explain it to you, but I am legally married to both of my wives. As for my relationship with Sun Xiang, we have kissed several times, but our relationship has not developed further."
Chen Xinyan was shocked to learn that Tang Xiao's clone and Sun Xiang had kissed frequently, but she was unaware that he had forcefully kissed her granddaughter, who never reciprocated.
"Hahaha! If my granddaughter doesn't like you, she won't let you kiss her, let alone kiss her multiple times." Zhang Fei laughed and patted him on the shoulder. "I don't have a problem if my granddaughter marries a man with multiple wives as long as he loves her, especially because I have two wives. However, her mother is different from me, and she will reject you if she finds out that you already have two wives."
"Even though my husband has two wives, our relationship is as close as sisters." Chen Xinyan sighed softly as she remembered her daughter. "However, Xingcai is a conservative woman, and she wouldn't like you if she knew about your relationship. Her husband passed away long ago, but she has no desire to remarry, and she prefers to live a life of solitude for the rest of her life."
Tang Xiao's clone was curious about Zhang Xingcai because he didn't have any information about her, and he asked his master to talk to her about her relationship with Sun Xiang. "I think I should go to the Sun Clan to talk to her."
"Yes." Chen Xinyan nodded. "You are a man, so you have to be responsible for your choices. If you like my granddaughter, you should go to the Sun Clan and talk to her mother, and you must try hard to convince her to accept you."
Tang Xiao's clone nodded to her. "I won't be going to the Sun Clan anytime soon, and I'll focus on training for now. Besides, Sun Xiang hasn't really accepted me yet, and I still have to convince her to accept me. I'll convince her to accept me first, and I'll go see her mother after she accepts me."
"I think that's the best choice." Chen Xinyan took his hand. "Xiang'er is a good girl, Xiao'er. I don't mind if you already have two wives, but I hope you will always treat all your wives fairly, and you won't disappoint her after she accepts you."
"I will treat all my wives well, senior." Tang Xiao's clone answered with a nod.
Once again, they heard a commotion from the first floor because several cultivators came at the same time, and they looked there to find out who the newcomers were.
Tang Xiao's clone raised an eyebrow as he looked at them. "Who are the people who just arrived?"
"The two people at the front are my nephew and his wife, Feng Xiaofang and Yan Huoling, and they are both Feng Yao's parents." Feng Shen said.
Tang Xiao's clone was surprised to hear this information from Feng Shen. "They are truly powerful! Their cultivation is at the Upper Tyrant Level, so they are one stage below Long Yin."
Zhang Fei and Chen Xinyan looked at him in surprise, especially since cultivators at his level would not be able to detect cultivators several levels above him. "Are you really able to detect their cultivation?"
'Haha.' Tang Xiao's clone laughed bitterly inwardly before nodding. "I know that cultivators at my level won't be able to detect their high cultivation, but I have a special ability inherited from my late master, and I can detect their cultivation without any hindrance."
"I see." Zhang Fei nodded in understanding before speaking. "I don't know the identity of your late master, but he has passed down a great ability to you. As long as you can detect the cultivation levels of cultivators who are significantly stronger than you, this ability will be useful for avoiding enemies that are much more powerful."
Chen Xinyan warned him. "You should not carelessly tell others about your techniques, do you understand? Such techniques can arouse the jealousy of other cultivators, and not all cultivators have pure hearts. If they learn your techniques, they will capture you and force you to hand them over to them."
"I understand, Senior." Tang Xiao's clone nodded seriously, but he saw Yan Huoling pointing at him while speaking to her husband.
Feng Xiaofang looked at Tang Xiao's clone and nodded to Feng Shen, but he immediately led his wife and clan members to the second floor to go to the VIP room reserved for them.
Zhang Fei pointed to the next group. "They are the people of the Liu Clan, led by Liu Xun and Liu Xing. The two women walking beside them are their wives, Lian Yunqi and Qiu Hongmei. The young man behind Old Xun is Liu Ming, and the young girl behind Old Xing is Liu Jiayi."
"I see." Tang Xiao's clone nodded in understanding, and he read their statuses on the system screen after Xiao Ai displayed them for him. 'Liu Xun's cultivation is at the Upper Tyrant Level, and Liu Ming's cultivation is at the Middle Tyrant Level, on par with their two wives. Meanwhile, Liu Ming's cultivation is at the Peak King Realm, and Liu Jiayi's cultivation is at the Upper King Realm.'
Liu Xun and Liu Xing were surprised to see Feng Shen's presence with Zhang Fei and Chen Xinyan, but they didn't say anything and went straight to the VIP room provided by the auction house.
Meanwhile, Liu Ming glanced at Tang Xiao's clone, nodded to him, and hurried to follow his parents. Liu Jiayi also looked at him, and she raised an eyebrow slightly after sensing something from his body, but she said nothing and followed the others.
"They are people from the Wang Clan." Tang Xiao's clone looked at the four people pointed at by Chen Xinyan. "Wang Jishan became their patriarch because Wang Fuxi didn't want to bother with their clan's affairs, and she was more focused on protecting those ordinary people. The woman next to him was Liu Yixian, and the two men behind them were their sons, Wang Dong'er and Wang Yun'er."
Wang Jishan and the others didn't spare a glance at the VIP guests who had already arrived, and they hurriedly went to their VIP room.
Tang Xiao's clone read their statuses immediately after Xiao Ai displayed them, but he was slightly surprised to find that Wang Jishan's cultivation was only at the Lower Tyrant Level. Meanwhile, Liu Yixian's cultivation was a level higher than her husband's, at the Middle Tyrant Level. As for their two sons, they have the same cultivation level, at the Peak King Realm. 'These guys are truly powerful, so I have to improve myself as quickly as possible.'
[Master, you must quickly conquer Mu Qingge's heart, and you can dual cultivate with her, which will make your cultivation increase significantly.]
Tang Xiao's clone smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and he wanted to marry Mu Qingge. However, he knew that she wasn't fully ready for that, and he still needed to help her heal the old wounds in her heart.
Tang Xiao's clone's attention was drawn to the two women who had just arrived. Almost everyone in the auction house, especially the men, had their eyes fixed on them. "Who are those two women?"
