Liu Xi had no idea that the alchemist Gu Ni regarded him as a god-like being.
He simply explained to Alchemist Gu Ni in detail some of his alchemy techniques for refining perfect-quality first-grade pills.
Then, under the extremely respectful gaze of Alchemist Gu Ni, he took his leave.
He did not go to see Ya Fei.
Instead, they left directly through the main entrance of the auction house.
His elixir auction will take another two days.
The main focus is on the Mittel auction house; it still needs some promotion.
Liu Xi could wait that long, so he let them do it themselves.
However, Liu Xi did not go to see Ya Fei.
At the gate, they encountered Ya Fei, who was seeing off the black-robed alchemist, and Xiao Yan, who was also in black robes.
"Sir, if you need anything in the future, please come to the Mittel Auction House. We will do our best to meet your requirements..."
Ya Fei was chatting and laughing with Xiao Yan, who was dressed in black.
Xiao Yan, dressed in black, was also nodding, pretending to be a writer.
Suddenly, Ya Fei saw Liu Xi walking out of the auction house.
Her beautiful eyes lit up, and she took a slight step, ready to happily go and greet him.
However, he had only moved half a body length.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she stopped and continued to greet Xiao Yan in black robes.
Xiao Yan, clad in black, kept his attention on Ya Fei.
Naturally, he immediately noticed the abnormality in Ya Fei.
Following Ya Fei's gaze, her eyes fell on Liu Xi, who had just come out.
Even Yao Chen, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, opened his eyes in surprise.
"Huh..."
Yao Chen let out a soft gasp of surprise.
"What's wrong, sir?"
Ya Fei asked earnestly.
"What a vibrant young man!"
Yao Chen's gaze fell on Liu Xi, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Indeed, the willow mat exudes a refreshing, elegant, and radiant visual impact.
His appearance was like a ray of brilliant sunshine breaking through the twilight, bringing a stunning brightness to the world.
It has nothing to do with its physical appearance, but rather with that amazing, vibrant energy that is full of life and vitality.
"What a handsome guy! Holy crap, how can someone be so handsome?!"
At that moment, Xiao Yan felt intense jealousy.
If he had Liu Xi's looks that could seduce women, and his charisma that Liu Xi couldn't hide, then his three years of being a "useless person" wouldn't have left him with only a simp, Xiao Xun'er.
"Little girl, who is this young man...?"
Yao Chen couldn't help but inquire about Liu Xi's identity.
The main reason was that he didn't believe that a small, remote place like Wutan City could produce such an outstanding young man as Liu Xi.
His aura was in no way inferior to that of the chosen ones of the eight ancient imperial clans.
"he..."
"Miss Yafei."
At this moment, Liu Xi walked over and politely greeted Ya Fei.
"Miss Ya Fei, Miss Ya Fei, would you die if I didn't add the word 'Miss' to it...?"
Ya Fei gritted her teeth inwardly in resentment, but still maintained a smile and politely replied:
"Young Master Liu, have you and Alchemist Gu Ni finished refining the pills?!"
Upon hearing Ya Fei mention the words "refining pills," Yao Chen and Xiao Yan noticed that Liu Xi was also wearing a first-grade alchemist's robe. The snow-white attire further accentuated his vibrant and energetic aura.
"Hmm? Something's not right..."
Yao Chen's gaze fell on Liu Xi, and he slightly released his soul power, frowning.
As Liu Xi was exchanging pleasantries with Ya Fei, he felt a surge of spiritual power descend upon him.
Such blatant probing is certainly not very polite.
Liu Xi let out a soft snort, and a surge of powerful soul force shook out Yao Chen's soul force.
With a gentle smile, she looked at Xiao Yan, who was dressed in black robes, and softly reminded him:
"Sir, it's rather impolite to use your soul power to probe someone without their permission..."
It was fortunate that Yao Chen did not use his full strength, otherwise, Liu Xi did not know if he could beat Yao Chen in his current state if they were to compete in terms of soul power.
However, he is the one in the wrong now.
Upon hearing this, Yao Chen smiled and said in an aged voice:
"Hehe, I have been out of the world for a long time. When I suddenly saw you, your bearing was extraordinary and your soul power was vigorous. I was itching to fight and couldn't control myself. I hope you will not take offense."
Yao Chen's attitude was not bad.
Most importantly, he is now terrified.
Because of the brief probing he had just conducted, he discovered that Liu Xi's soul power had actually reached at least the level of a third-grade alchemist.
Moreover, its vigor and prosperity far exceeded his expectations.
Given time, this young man in white robes will likely become a seventh-grade, or even eighth-grade, alchemist.
Even he had to take this formidable potential seriously.
"Which powerful family produced this prodigy? Could he be one of the eight ancient imperial clans?"
Yao Chen began to suspect the origin of the willow mat.
After all, this guy is really not like an ordinary person.
Little did Liu Xi know that Yao Chen had completely overthought things.
Right now, all he wants is to survive peacefully and securely.
Although I don't like Xiao Yan.
But he wouldn't rashly offend him.
He simply nodded calmly and said:
"It's alright. The old gentleman has been out of the public eye for a long time, so it's understandable that he might occasionally feel the urge to use his hands."
"I have other important matters to attend to, so I will not chat with you any longer, sir."
"Miss Yafei, this gentleman, I shall take my leave."
Liu Xi's expression remained calm and composed throughout; her unflappable and casual demeanor was truly captivating.
"This guy, he's really good at showing off."
Xiao Yan's jealous gaze was fixed on Liu Xi, who was walking slowly away.
He was clearly just a first-grade alchemist, but he put on a nonchalant demeanor as if he were an unparalleled noble young master.
In comparison, it seems that this young master Xiao is hiding his true colors and is not worthy of being seen by others.
"Depend on!"
Xiao Yan cursed him.
"Young man, you must not underestimate this man!"
Yao Chen reminded Xiao Yan in his heart.
"Why? Teacher, isn't he just a first-grade alchemist?"
Xiao Yan said with some disagreement.
This pretentious young man looks to be in his twenties.
He's so old, and he's only a first-grade alchemist. He's obviously a novice.
"A first-grade alchemist?"
Yao Chen shook his head helplessly in his heart.
The reason why some people are top-tier alchemists is because their battle qi level is not high enough.
Once their battle qi realm advances, they will naturally be able to advance to the level of advanced alchemist.
But the fact that you are a first-grade alchemist is simply because your current strength is only at this level.
However, although he knew Xiao Yan was unconvinced, Yao Chen did not say anything to discourage him.
After all, teaching apprentices means constantly encouraging them.
...
After leaving the Mittel auction house, Liu Xi went to explore the market in Utan City on his own.
Xiao Yan managed to snag a Xuan-rank fighting technique by chance.
Liu Xi also wanted to see if he had such good fortune.
Speaking of which, he recently acquired a tattered animal hide.
However, to be on the safe side, he planned to wait until he broke through to the Dou Shi level before making a decision.
...
"Xun'er, come here, smile..."
"Cousin Xiao Yu, stop it..."
"Hey, why can't I make a fuss? That little brat can watch you laugh, but I can't? No way, you have to smile for me today!"
"Cousin Xiao Yu, you..."
"Come on, Mei'er, if Xun'er won't smile, you smile first!"
In the Xiao family's market town, several young girls were strolling around, chattering and laughing.
