The Eighteen Subsidiary Practices

  "Four hundred thousand!"

  Bai Yi spat out the price with a hint of gritted teeth, and at the same time, his rather pitiful gaze also subtly swept towards Du Fei, as if trying to attract his attention.

  On the VIP seat, under the hype of a group of people, those few bottles of medicinal liquid that cost only a few gold coins instantly had a value that was dozens of times higher, making Du Fei sigh in his heart. This profession of Dan Shi's is indeed extremely profitable.

  This sky-high price that Bai Yi exploded with, let alone for those guys below, even for the three major families in the city, it's already equivalent to half a year's income.

  Although this thing is really good, but using half a year's income of the family to exchange for it, seems to be a bit too much!

  At this moment, including those below, everyone's gaze fell on Bai Yi's body.

  The people below still didn't understand why Bai Yi suddenly shouted out such a high price, but the people in the VIP seats already understood that Bai Yi's actions at this moment were equivalent to negotiating a deal.

  "Haha, it seems that Young Master Bai is determined to get this medicine! " Lian Rui, the steward of the Lian family, lightly clapped his hands and cast a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling gaze at Bai Yi for a moment before sighing and saying: "Unfortunately, the authority given to me by the master today is not high, otherwise, Young Master Bai, you wouldn't have gotten it so easily!"

  Bai Yi gave Lian Rui a fierce glance, with a hint of gritted teeth, and said fiercely: "If you want it, just make an offer! I'd like to see if the Lian family has money or my Bai family has money!"

  Lian Rui's gaze slowly fell onto Yun Yuqing's body, and after a moment, he slowly shook his head.

  As they saw his movements, the eyes of others on the VIP seat also fell on Yun Yuqing, and immediately shook their heads slightly.

  Although it's important to get on the good side of a Dan master, it's not worth offending the Yun family for. Since Bai Yi is determined to win, I'll just have to owe someone a favor!

  "Heh heh, Young Master Bai has already offered a high price of 4 million, yet someone is still trying to outbid him!" The auctioneer on the VIP seat seemed to be quite familiar with the open and secret struggles, smiled lightly and said calmly.

  But a moment later, still no one spoke up, he slightly raised the hammer in his hand and slowly struck it down.

  Clang——

  "This medicine is now yours, Young Master Bai!"

  When he saw this result, Du Fei himself also sneered in his heart. No matter whose hands the medicine eventually fell into, it was not important to him. As long as he got enough funds to auction off the Washing Marrow Dan, that would be fine!

  As for what others think, it has nothing to do with oneself.

  "Hehe, this precious potion has been sold, and the next item, I think everyone will be very interested in, and I think most people are here for it today...... That thing is——" As he spoke, the auction hall gave a slight applause. This time, however, a row of guards carefully escorted a maid, who brought a silver plate to the auctioneer's hands. The guards quickly dispersed in all directions, while the auctioneer slowly opened the silk cloth covering the silver plate, and suddenly, a faint flame flashed by."

  "The Eightfold Path of Merit, the Flowing Flame Incantation!"

  Eight Treasures Tactic, four words in one place, on the auction stage, an instant of silence, followed by continuous heavy breathing sounds.

  Compared with the miraculous effect of elixirs, for most people in the auction house, martial arts are even more precious and hard to come by!

  To know, generally after advancing to the 9th rank of Wu Shi, one needs to find a Gong Fa to cultivate, because at this point, body tempering fist has no effect on cultivation!

  The level of a cultivation technique determines not only the intensity of one's true energy, but also one's achievements. For example, a 9th-grade cultivation technique can already make you an 8th-grade martial artist, which is quite impressive! However, an 8th-grade cultivation technique can take you to the level of a 7th-grade martial artist!

  Although they are also martial artists, in a major force, an eighth-grade martial artist can be at most an elder, while a seventh-grade martial artist can make you the master of a major force!

  And all of this is based on the Eight Trigrams Skill!

  It can be said that this eight-part exercise in front of you is almost enough to make a martial artist's future!

  Moreover, unlike martial skills, the methods of internal power have always been treasured by major powers. Those that can be passed down to the world are extremely rare, with ninth-grade being hardly seen and eighth-grade being even more precious!

  As for those higher-level kung fu techniques, although they have been heard to appear in places like the Imperial Capital, the prices of those things are too far-fetched for people who don't venture beyond the city walls!

  And these eight skills and methods are incredibly practical!

  For those below, this thing can make oneself a strong side, and for those above, without the three major forces in the city, it seems that there is no eighth-grade kung fu method. So, no matter which force gets this eighth-grade kung fu method, it basically establishes its position as the overlord of the city! As for other smaller forces getting this thing, they even have a chance to turn the three major families into four major ones!

  For a moment, the faces of everyone on the VIP seat became strange and inexplicable. If it weren't for each one being clear about how deep the background of the auction house was, I'm afraid someone would have already been unable to bear it and started a fight!

  The shock lasted for a while before slowly subsiding, and it's unknown how many people exhausted their strength to suppress the urge to rush forward.

  "The eight product method......" Compared to others, Du Fei didn't seem particularly shocked. For him, his own Ice Heart Decision was enough. This Flowing Flame Method, just by the name, he knew it was a fire-based technique, completely incompatible with his Ice Heart Decision, so his interest wasn't great. Moreover, for him, elixirs were obviously more valuable than this thing.

  Seeing Du Fei seemingly uninterested, the people on the VIP seats all let out a slight sigh of relief. The Cloud family already had various profound techniques, so they naturally weren't interested in this item. And if this Dan Master wasn't interested either, then their own chances of getting it would probably increase greatly!

  "What, sir is not interested in this thing? ... The eight products of Gongfa are rare on the surface! Moreover, it is said that fire attribute Gongfa has many benefits for alchemy, why...". The noble seat was in the middle, Yunyu Qing suddenly thought of something and smiled slightly, then turned his head to Du Fei faintly.

  Seeing the cunning and mysterious look flashing in Yunyu Qingyan's eyes, Du Fei's heart skipped a beat. This woman has such a heavy mind! At this moment, even Yuan Hong didn't suspect his own identity, but she was still testing him like this?

  When they heard Yun Yuqing's words, others seemed to remember something and their eyes quickly fell on Du Fei.

  Under the gaze of everyone, Du Fei smiled coldly in his heart and said lightly after a moment: "It's just an eighth-grade skill, what's so peculiar about it...... However, if the Cloud Family's Cloud Mist Skill were to appear here, I would absolutely not let it go!"

  Yun family Yun Wu Jue, the legendary six-product method, is quite famous throughout the entire Da'an dynasty. Du Fei was born into a martial arts family and naturally understood it clearly.

  Upon hearing this, Yun Yu Qing smiled lightly and said: "Sir, you must be joking. The Cloud Token is something that only the master of the Cloud Clan has the qualifications to possess, how could it possibly appear in a place like this..."

  "That's hard to say..." Du Fei said coldly.

  "Haha, Mr. this remark is quite interesting, but if such a situation really occurs, then the Cloud and Fog Technique falling into your hands would not be unworthy of it!" Yun Yu Qing's eyebrows slightly raised, her tone however turned several degrees colder.

  Upon hearing this, Du Fei slightly turned his head, his piercing gaze making Yun Yu Qing's hair stand on end before he calmly said: "You yourself know that Dan Shifu loves fire-based techniques the most. Even if you were to give me Cloud House's Cloud Mist Technique, I wouldn't be interested, so rest assured..."

  "Don't worry —" Upon hearing Du Fei's words, Yun Yuqing couldn't help but smile wryly for a moment. When did the Cloud Family's Cloud Escape Technique get belittled to this extent?!

  However, the more Du Feiyue was like this, the more cautious Yun Yuqing became! If it wasn't for the fact that the bottom card had been turned over, who would dare to speak to her like this? Even if this person's own strength was ordinary, with such an attitude, the background behind him was probably not simple at all...

  Could it be that such a background would make him completely unafraid of Yun's family?

  At this thought, Yun Yu Qing took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment before an idea emerged: If that person were to help with the matter, wouldn't the chances of success be higher?

  Listening to Du Fei and Yun Yuqing's verbal sparring, the other people at the VIP table were momentarily left speechless - their highly valued eighth-grade technique was nothing in someone else's eyes, which would be depressing anywhere.

  "But! Neither of them is interested, what a wonderful thing!"

  "Bang Bang Bang——"

  It seems that everyone has calmed down, and the auctioneer on the stage only slightly clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the whole audience.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, this volume of skills is the guard employed by my auction house, occasionally obtained in a ruined place, should be left over from the previous generation, with a clear origin. If sold, there will be no aftereffects. If you are interested, please bid with confidence! At the same time, my auction house guarantees that if someone wins this item and others make a move against the winner, my auction house will not stand idly by! So, everyone can bid with peace of mind!"

  "No nonsense! Report the price quickly!" Someone at the bottom couldn't help but speak up after hearing the last sentence.

  At these words, the auctioneer smiled slightly and calmly said: "The Eight-Rank Merit Method's Flowing Flame Technique, starting price is 2.5 million!"

  As soon as this price was announced, the whole room fell silent.
