Chapter 251: with translation of chapter title

251. Chapter 251: In the blink of an eye, a year.

'Try taking off your ring, move it farther away and try cultivating again; your talent will come back.'

As Xiao Yan was cultivating, a transmission from an unknown man suddenly appeared in his mind.

「Who!? 」

「Come out! 」

He suddenly jolted awake, stood up, and looked around.

The wind blew the leaves around, and the sound of the waterfall's flowing water.

There was no one else present.

「Could it be that I was dreaming? 」 Xiao Yan muttered.

Lowering his head, he looked at the dark black ring on his finger; it looked quite ordinary, just a plain ring.

【Could it be that the reason my battle qi disappeared is related to this ring?】

Xiao Yan suddenly had this thought.

「Impossible, this is just an ordinary ring, a keepsake left by my mother; it must have been just an illusion just now. 」.

He shook his head, feeling a bit tired from cultivation, and planned to go down the mountain back to his room.

Inside the Mitel auction house, every seat was filled.

Everyone is here.

Even the Elders and heads of the three major clans of Wutan City have arrived.

The venue was bustling.

Everyone was waiting for Mitel's auction.

Ya Fei walked out from inside.

Her graceful, alluring figure and charming appearance instantly drew everyone's attention and cheers.

「Wow, what a beautiful woman—who is she? 」.

「She must be the new host hired by the Mitel auction house! 」.

Any man who saw her was captivated by Ya Fei's alluring beauty.

Some even drooled uncontrollably.

「Hello everyone, nice to meet you. I'm Ya Fei, just transferred from the Holy City Mitel headquarters; I'm now in charge of the Mitel branch in Wutan City, and from now on I'll be hosting your auctions. Please guide me. 」.

Upon saying that, Ya Fei also disclosed her identity and background.

This made everyone in the venue, out of respect for Mitel, agitated and dare not act against her.

Sure enough, as soon as she said that, the entire venue erupted in noise.

「The person transferred from the Mitel headquarters? Their background is very strong, very tough—can't be messed with. 」.

Jalieo, the Clan Chief of the Au Ba family, took a liking to Ya Fei's appearance and wanted to use money to bring her over for fun, but upon hearing that her background was so powerful, he immediately dismissed the idea.

It's better not to bring trouble upon oneself.

Xiao Zhan's gaze also fell on them.

The members of the three major clans looked at each other, revealing provocative glances.

「It seems as if they were saying, 'I've taken all the medicine for today; you guys can get lost.'」.

「Let's not waste words; let's jump straight into today's topic. 」.

Ya Fei waved her jade hand, and a brocade box appeared.

Opening it, a pill lay quietly inside.

A very rich medicinal fragrance filled the venue; everyone frenziedly inhaled it, feeling quite intoxicated.

「It smells so good—is this a perfect First Grade Pill? 」.

Everyone was very eager.

「This is a First Grade Pill, a Power‑Accumulating Pill, refined by a mysterious alchemist. Its quality is perfect grade, able to fully unleash its efficacy; after appraisal by Mitel, this perfect‑grade Power‑Accumulating Pill is at least three times stronger than those on the market! 」.

「Starting bid: one hundred gold coins! Bidding begins! 」.

Ya Fei spoke.

「Three times?! 」.

「My heavens, this Power‑Accumulating Pill is a great thing! 」.

「Goodness, the difference is actually more than threefold! 」.

「Mine! All of them are mine! 」.

「Two hundred gold coins! 」.

「Three hundred gold coins! 」.

「Four hundred gold coins! 」 the crowd shouted wildly.

In this impoverished Wutan City, a perfect First Grade Pill is tantamount to a great treasure.

Soon the price reached a thousand gold coins—and it was Xiao Zhan who called it out.

The auction continued.

Ya Fei intended to auction off all the pills, first converting them into money.

On another side, Li Fei, who had just returned from the back mountain of the Xiao family, was in the elegant room, sipping tea while quietly watching the fierce bidding prices below.

To him, money was nothing.

He had already obtained the gold coins of this world from Ya Fei.

His life‑force power could still be easily copied and used.

In other words, he now lacks nothing in terms of this world's money.

Therefore, the money from selling pills is merely petty profit, completely unable to arouse his interest.

As time passed.

The five kinds of pills below were all sold out.

Finally, the auction ended, and everyone dispersed.

From this, we gathered a piece of information: the pills refined by Li Fei are very popular among the people of this world.

You should know that the remaining first‑grade pills on the market cost less than a hundred gold coins each, and even the most potent ones top out at one to three hundred gold coins.

However, today the auction's lowest price reached one thousand gold coins per pill.

Li Fei's cost was already recouped in a single pill; the rest is pure zero cost.

Earning a thousand gold coins per pill with zero cost is truly a violent money‑making scheme.

From now on, Li Fei will sell these perfect pills in bulk, pricing them at one thousand gold coins each.

As long as the effect is good, there's no fear that no one will buy them.

Li Fei continued to write out new medicinal ingredients, handing them to Ya Fei so she could exchange money for these ingredients.

Afterward, his days consisted of alchemy and cultivation.

His cultivation was also recovering quickly.

The monotonous routine of the same two points every day was dull and tedious.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

Inside the room, Li Fei awoke from meditation.

"One‑Star Fighting King, not bad."

Li Fei murmured.

Having recovered a year's worth of cultivation, he went from a One‑Two‑Star Fighter at the start to a One‑Star Fighting King now, taking only one year.

He originally thought those transformed powers couldn't be restored to such an extent, but it seems he underestimated the might of the Eastern Azure Dragon Technique.

Everything in the Dou Luo Universe was cultivated with the Eastern Azure Dragon Technique; now that the technique has reached the higher world, the higher seal has been undone.

His original cultivation can still continue to recover.

However, later on the speed won't be that fast.

Over the past year, his spirit, soul, and body have likewise been growing stronger.

Although he now has only the cultivation of a One‑Star Fighting King, he himself is a divine spirit, his soul power is strong and terrifying; moreover, he can quickly replenish consumed soul power with the aid of constellation power, making him essentially an endless, ever‑flowing monster.

As long as medicinal ingredients are sufficient, refining an imperial‑level pill for him is no problem.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have this kind of pill.

The most important point is that the heavenly materials and earthly treasures he had in the Dou Luo Universe, once brought to this world and transformed with the Eastern Azure Dragon Technique, can be used normally, and their medicinal potency will grow stronger as his cultivation recovers.

The Dou Luo Universe will also grow stronger with him! Thud thud~ the door was knocked.

Ya Fei walked in.

Over the past year, Ya Fei has actively pursued him, Li Fei has already won her over, and he has nourished her.

Now Ya Fei is more alluring than a year ago, exuding a mature, charming femininity.

Under the transformation of Li Fei's Treasure Medicine, Ya Fei's cultivation talent has also emerged.

In just a short year, she has already reached the level of a Five‑Star Fighting Master! This would be impossible for anyone else.

Moreover, because of Li Fei's presence, she has achieved the milestones earlier than in the original work, gaining her family's approval, but she has not chosen to return to the Holy City so quickly; instead, she stays here to accompany Li Fei.
