"Could it be...him?"
Suddenly, a terrifying being with extremely strange behavior flashed through Yao Chen's mind!
Yet, this person had no physical form whatsoever!
"Who?"
Hearing Yao Chen's words, everyone asked in surprise.
"This is merely a guess..."
Yao Chen's old face darkened, appearing somewhat timid.
Seeing this, everyone was even more astonished.
This old fellow was a Dou Zun powerhouse and an eighth-grade alchemist in his lifetime. How terrifying must someone be to have such a presence?
Could it be...the legendary Dou Sheng powerhouse?
A pair of large, watery eyes blinked, then suddenly lit up:
"Old Yao, the person you're thinking of, could they be related to the Pill Tower?"
Hearing this, Yao Chen was immediately startled:
"Teacher Yan'er, how...how did you know?"
Qi Yan'er spread her small hands and smiled:
"What's so hard about that?"
"There must be very few people who can make you feel intimidated, yet not fear for your life, right?"
"You've mentioned the Pill Tower more than once, and your good disciple Han Feng has also talked about your relationship with the Pill Tower. The person you're thinking of must be a Pill Tower expert on par with the Soul Palace!"
"Mmm."
As soon as Qi Yan'er finished speaking, Yao Chen's heart trembled.
In his little teacher's eyes, he had no secrets left.
She had only done a simple inquiry and could deduce this so clearly!
Yao Chen flattered her sincerely,
"Teacher Yan'er is very thoughtful. The person I was thinking of is indeed a powerful figure from the Pill Tower, and even the legendary Pill Tower Ancestor!"
"The Pill Tower Ancestor!!!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying were surprised but immediately realized what was going on.
Ling Ying shook his head helplessly and chuckled dryly,
"Yes! In the entire Dou Qi Continent, who else but that old monster could act in such a way?"
Little Fairy Doctor, standing to the side, looked at him with surprise in her beautiful eyes:
"Uncle Ling Ying, is that Pill Tower Ancestor a very strange person?"
"He's more than just strange, Sister Little Fairy Doctor."
Before Ling Ying could reply, Xiao Xun'er spoke up:
"I've heard that this Pill Tower Ancestor is extremely mysterious, rarely appearing in public. Even if he did appear before you, you would never know his identity."
"Because his form can change in countless ways, sometimes he's an old man, sometimes an infant, making him completely unrecognizable and unpredictable."
"Is it that amazing?"
Xiao Xun'er's words made Qi Yan'er's big eyes light up immediately, and she exclaimed excitedly:
"Being able to transform into various forms and appearances, it looks so fun!"
"..."
Seeing their little sister's excited expression, everyone was speechless.
You transformed into such a big size earlier... wasn't that fun?
Little did they know what Qi Yan'er was thinking. As a little girl, who wouldn't want to grow up?
Especially after realizing she had grown up, she was surprised that she hadn't gone astray!
'Father is really something, he's already made me grow up once, why didn't he make it permanent?'
Now, hearing that the old man could change his body at will, how could Qi Yan'er not be excited?
Learn! She had to learn!
With a blink of her big eyes, her small body stood up:
"I want to go play with him again."
"Huh?"
This sentence startled everyone.
The Pill Tower Ancestor was a true Dou Sheng powerhouse!
If they angered him, it wouldn't be a joke.
Yao Chen was very afraid of this Pill Tower Ancestor. He wanted to ask him for help, but he didn't have the face to ask, and the old man probably wouldn't give him any.
After all, this being didn't even give face to the Little Pill Tower's Grand Elder, so what was he?
Thinking of this, Yao Chen quickly dissuaded her:
"Teacher Yan'er, that senior has always disliked being disturbed, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way from Zhongzhou. Why don't we wait until after the auction to visit him?"
"Hmm~~~"
Qi Yan'er pouted, deep in thought.
Her gaze slowly shifted, finally settling on the platform in the adjacent room to her right. Suddenly, her lips parted slightly:
"Okay~"
"Phew~"
Hearing Qi Yan'er's agreement, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Going to play with a Dou Sheng powerhouse... who wouldn't be nervous?
However, they knew this little monster's personality well. What could make her give up wouldn't be Yao Chen's dissuasion; there must be something even more fun attracting her!
Thinking of this, everyone's gaze immediately followed Qi Yan'er's eyes...
You wouldn't believe it until you saw it!
In everyone's sight, a woman dressed in green robes and wearing a light veil was standing by the transparent platform, curiously observing the auction house below!
"Uh..."
Upon seeing this woman, everyone froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, exclaiming,
"What a coincidence!"
"Hmm?"
At this moment, the woman in the next room also sensed something, turning her head. Her beautiful eyes widened instantly, filled with fear and astonishment.
"I, I..."
"Is it really necessary to be such a coincidence?"
This woman was none other than Bai Ya's good friend, Green Barbarian of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!
Green Barbarian returned to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion in a disheveled state and reported the events that had occurred in the Jia Ma Empire to the Mansion Lord.
Upon learning of this, the Mansion Lord not only did not punish her but also praised her with delight, rewarding her with a trip using the Mansion's funds!
The destination, naturally, was the Black Corner Region!
She was overjoyed upon arriving, after all, leisure and elegance, with money to spend freely, who wouldn't be happy?
But upon seeing the group of people in the next room, her face turned as green as a bitter gourd!
"Hi~"
Upon seeing an acquaintance, Qi Yan'er immediately waved her little hand happily and greeted her.
Lü Man's face stiffened; she wanted to cry!
Meeting this little monster again was definitely not going to be good!
Looking at this "extremely cute" little girl, she could only awkwardly smile and wave:
"Hehehe~"
Lü Man wished she could turn around and leave immediately.
However, she couldn't leave yet, because besides sightseeing, she had come here for something else!
Xiao Xun'er glanced behind Lü Man and noticed a group of Heavenly Serpent Palace disciples following behind her.
"The people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion have actually come here. It seems there must be something extraordinary at this auction!"
Qinglin also noticed something:
"Look at those people over there, they seem to be discussing something!"
Little Fairy Doctor nodded and chuckled:
"It must be for the final item of this auction. It's really intriguing!"
"Huh?"
Just then, Qi Yan'er caught a glimpse of Doma out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that his knees had dropped considerably, she immediately asked curiously:
"Hey Fatty, why are you kneeling?"
"Gulp~"
Upon hearing the question, Doma was so frightened that he swallowed hard and then kowtowed to the ground:
"Miss Yan'er, I don't know, I don't know anything."
"..."
Looking at the frightened Doma, Qi Yan'er's brows furrowed:
"You fatso, you really are a bit timid~"
Doma: o(╥﹏╥)o
How could I not be timid?
Don't you want to think back to what you were saying just now? Is it something a fat caravan owner like me could understand?
Suddenly, Qi Yan'er noticed something very strange!
Her big eyes scanned the room before she exclaimed in surprise,
"Huh? Where's Xiao Huang?"
