Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

177: Section 177Unlike Yun Xiancheng, who indulged in food, drink, and play, the sweat she shed retracing her steps was unimaginable.

She rarely had time as peaceful and warm as this. After a while, only the Medicine Lady’s half-annoyed voice came from within the Cave:

”You two aren’t out there putting on some act of deep senior-junior affection, are you!?” Then, two pills drifted out from the Cave.

”You two, eat these quickly and get back to your cultivation!” the Medicine Lady scolded her two Disciples from inside the Cave.

Xiao Yan’s delicate frame stirred slightly, as if wanting to leave Yun Xiancheng’s embrace, but Yun Xiancheng remained unmoving, pulling her back into his arms.

The young girl struggled slightly before going limp in Yun Xiancheng’s embrace. Is her body this soft?

Yun Xiancheng thought this, using his hand to receive the two pills. One was the Qi Gathering Powder, and the other was likely the specially refined pill the Medicine Lady had mentioned that day, meant to aid his cultivation.

Holding the Qi Gathering Powder between two fingers, Yun Xiancheng looked at the young girl’s small, adorable, deer-like eyes, truly making him want to tease her.

Yun Xiancheng placed the Qi Gathering Powder into Xiao Yan’s mouth, but his little hand wandered, lightly tracing her tender tongue.

”Senior Brother... don’t tease... me.” The young girl’s pretty face flushed slightly.

The Qi Gathering Powder slowly dissolved into liquid, sliding down her throat, but Yun Xiancheng’s hand continued to play with her tongue.

Threads of saliva carrying a faint green apricot fragrance clung to Yun Xiancheng’s fingers. The girl’s face grew redder, her gaze becoming hazy. ”After all, Yaner is too adorable. This senior brother can’t help himself.”

Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but say, escalating his actions as his hand climbed to her flat chest.

Xiao Yan let out a small, deer-like whimper, yet offered no resistance, allowing Yun Xiancheng to bully her.

After a while, Xiao Yan felt a sudden flash, like the sound of a Realm shattering. Her mind went blank, and a faint, fresh green apricot fragrance wafted from beneath her skirt.

[Xiao Yan’s Intimacy +10. Current Intimacy: 40/100.] Simultaneously, the young girl smoothly advanced to the Dou Practitioner Realm. Inside the Cave,

the Medicine Lady, her face red and lips pouted, watched her two Disciples becoming increasingly intimate while she could only act as a medicinal laborer. How bitter!

Truly, the world’s morals decline, and people’s hearts are no longer pure.

043 Possessiveness

A few days later, snowflakes fluttered down like goose feathers, draping Wutan City in a layer of crystalline frost. Xiao Yan, clad in a black robe,

silently followed behind Yun Xiancheng, walking slowly towards the Mittel Auction House.

At this moment, the Mittel Auction House was bustling with preparations for a grand auction.

The highlight of the promotion was the Foundation Establishment Elixir that Xiao Yan had used, which could be utilized during the Dou Zhi Qi stage. It had to be said, this tactic was indeed effective.

Countless people, harboring hopes for their children’s success, sought to obtain a portion of the elixir for their offspring, aiming to give them a head start on the cultivation path and leave their peers far behind.

The maids, sharp-eyed, spotted Yun Xiancheng from afar and eagerly guided Ya Fei’s old flame to meet her. Ya Fei stood before a full-length bronze mirror, wearing an elegant, plain white dress, her posture graceful.

On the clothing rack beside her hung several gorgeous outfits of varying styles. She was carefully comparing them, pondering which one would best accentuate her charm.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Ya Fei couldn’t help but feel joy, smiling brightly as she said, ”Little Brother Xiancheng? Come quickly and see what little gift your elder sister has prepared for you.

As she spoke, she pointed to the side, indicating an exceedingly short cheongsam with scant fabric.

However, when she saw that Yun Xiancheng was followed by the mysterious black-robed Alchemist from last time, her pretty face instantly flushed crimson. ”Grandma?”

Ya Fei hurriedly bowed her head.

Beneath the black robe, Xiao Yan’s face was also flushed red. Her gaze fell on the ultra-short cheongsam, her heart exclaiming, ”This... is this really something people can wear outside!?”

Xiao Yan didn’t know that this garment wasn’t for going out, but for private play.

Witnessing this, the Medicine Lady beside them remarked with amused interest, ”Oh, it seems my good Disciple’s little lover truly has him bewitched.” Fortunately, only Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan could hear the Medicine Lady’s teasing. Otherwise, given Ya Fei’s proud nature, she would probably wish to

find a crack in the ground to hide in immediately.

”Wear this to the auction.” Yun Xiancheng quickly changed the subject, retrieving a magnificent robe from his storage ring and handing it to Ya Fei. The robe was primarily red, embroidered with intricate and exquisite patterns, exuding luxury and nobility.

”Alright, little brother, I’ll go change now.” Blushing, Ya Fei took the robe and fled into the changing room.

”Is this what captivates you about your good lover?” At some point, the Medicine Lady had climbed onto Yun Xiancheng’s neck like a nimble cat, asking with a sly smile.

Now, after absorbing Yun Xiancheng’s essence, her spiritual form was much more solid than before, able to manifest an illusory image visible only to Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan.

”Master, really.” Yun Xiancheng shook his head helplessly, then said seriously, ”Yes, this is what captivates me about my good lover.” After days of promotional buildup, this auction was even more bustling than the last one for the high-level Earth rank Dou Technique.

After all, the competition for a high-level Earth rank Dou Technique was destined to be a contest among Wutan City’s three great families; ordinary individuals couldn’t participate. But the Foundation Establishment Elixir was different; it was more suitable for the city’s small and medium-sized forces to bid on, thereby enhancing their younger generation’s strength.

Ya Fei emerged gracefully from behind the screen, her curvaceous figure impeccably wrapped in a red brocade robe adorned with intricate patterns—dignified, elegant, and flawless.

Even though it concealed her stunning curves, it accentuated her grace and nobility.

After all, a Beauty is like jade; even in simple attire, her natural Beauty is hard to conceal.

Moreover, Ya Fei was inherently charming and captivating, her every smile and glance exuding myriad charms, making her a born clotheshorse.

Ya Fei, with her bright eyes and gleaming teeth, looked at Yun Xiancheng with a glimmer of understanding in her gaze, instantly comprehending his intention behind having her dress this way.

”This kind of clothing does suit little brother’s possessiveness.”

Seeing that Yun Xiancheng wanted her to wear such clothes on stage, Ya Fei immediately understood the depth of his possessiveness.

Yun Xiancheng nodded; this indeed represented his possessiveness.

However, the idea came from his past life’s experience—some female characters were wrapped up like astronauts, not showing a bit of skin. Precisely because normal people wouldn’t find tightly wrapped clothes alluring.

So, such clothing allowed Yun Xiancheng to exclusively possess Ya Fei’s body. Satisfied, Yun Xiancheng hugged Ya Fei and said softly:

”My Ya Fei, your Beauty outshines past and present, making even lotuses shy before your jade-like face.” ”Smooth talker.”

Ya Fei coquettishly chided, yet couldn’t hide the joy in her heart. She extended her slender jade-like hand, gently stroking Yun Xiancheng’s hair, saying dotingly, ”No matter when, Ya Fei will always be little brother’s.”

”Hmph, seductress!”

The Medicine Lady stood to the side, arms crossed, her tone dripping with sourness. She didn’t forget to glare fiercely at Xiao Yan beside her—this flat-chested little thing couldn’t compare to the great Beauty with peaks like torches and waves like fury.

Xiao Yan, blushing like a startled fawn, stood silently to the side, head bowed, not daring to speak. ”Alright, alright, Grandma is still here.”

Ya Fei said, moving with light steps to stand before Xiao Yan, giving a graceful bow:

”Grandma, Ya Fei was rude earlier. Please forgive me.” The Medicine Lady’s expression remained unchanged.

”Enough idle talk. Let’s attend to business.”

The Medicine Lady handed ten bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir and five bottles of Qi Gathering Powder to Ya Fei.

”The ten bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir are the items we entrust for auction. These five bottles of Qi Gathering Powder are Chenger’s gift to you.” Five bottles of Qi Gathering Powder?

Ya Fei’s small mouth opened slightly, looking somewhat astonished at the five bottles.

These five bottles of Qi Gathering Powder alone were worth over a million gold coins. Using the Mittel Family’s channels to sell them elsewhere could yield an additional twenty to thirty percent profit.

A million in pure profit basically allowed Ya Fei to complete her performance KPI. Her position within the family wouldn’t be as awkward as it was now. ”Grandma, this... this is too precious.” Ya Fei felt overwhelmed, momentarily unsure how to respond.

Hearing this, the Medicine Lady immediately waved her hand, pretending nonchalance. ”Such trifles are hardly worth mentioning. No need for such courtesy. After all, you are Chenger’s...”

The Medicine Lady paused here deliberately, as if calming slightly complicated emotions before continuing in a measured tone, ”...little lover.”

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei’s face flushed intensely, and she hurriedly bowed, saying,

”Ya Fei will diligently assist Xiancheng.” Seeing this, the Medicine Lady nodded:

”Just help him as much as you can. If possible, get closer to the Xiao Family. Chenger has a junior sister there.” ”Ya Fei understands.”

The Medicine Lady’s elder-like demeanor made her feel a sense of seniority, and she found Ya Fei much more agreeable. ”Good. Now prepare for the auction quickly.”

Ya Fei respectfully led the two towards the private box.

044 Stirring Up Deep Senior-Junior Affection, Is That It?

The private room where Yun Xiancheng and the Medicine Lady were located was on the auction house’s top floor. Leaning on the railing provided an open, expansive view, convenient for Yun Xiancheng to search the bustling crowd for traces of the Giant Shark Mercenary Group.

Xiao Yan, tasked with the auction house’s promotional responsibilities, went to the front stage with Ya Fei to host the auction proceedings.

The petite Medicine Lady, as usual, lightly leaped onto Yun Xiancheng’s shoulder and sat cross-legged. After a moment, seemingly finding the shoulder perspective slightly inadequate, her bright eyes turned towards Yun Xiancheng’s head.

She lightly stepped on Yun Xiancheng’s cheek with her bare foot, her form agile like a climbing cat, scaling up to his head. Once seated, a faint blush appeared on the Medicine Lady’s small face.

It turned out the hairpin was poking her delicate bottom, causing slight discomfort.

Immediately, a small, exquisite green lotus materialized, gently lifting her, allowing her to sit securely atop Yun Xiancheng’s head. ”Huff, the view from here isn’t bad either.”

Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng answered succinctly, ”Looking for someone.”

The Medicine Lady followed his gaze, scanning the entire venue. The three great families on the high platform—the Xiao Family’s patriarch, elders, and several budding young girls—were all present. Likely not his target.

Her gaze swept over other families and medium-to-small forces, but no stunning beauties were seen—just women not worth a second glance, unworthy of such attention.

Yun Xiancheng suddenly raised his hand, lightly flicking the forehead of the tiny person on his head. ”I feel like you’re thinking strange things.”

The tiny Medicine Lady showed a faint pained expression, holding her forehead as she explained, ”What strange things? Aren’t you looking for other beauties in Wutan City?” ”That’s slander!

Yun Xiancheng lightly flicked the Medicine Lady’s cheek.

”I’m looking for members of a mercenary group. They plan to target my little lover’s auction house.”

Yun Xiancheng had to explain, lest his tiny master think his wandering eyes were searching for beauties.

Hearing the explanation, the Medicine Lady’s jade feet, resting on the Lotus Platform, moved slightly. She lay down on the platform, her two small legs swaying casually.

Hearing this explanation, the Medicine Lady’s jade feet, resting on the Lotus Platform, moved slightly. Then, she lay down like a kitten, her two fair, tender legs swinging idly.

”Oh? A mercenary group? Does Master need to step in and deal with them for you?” The Lotus Platform slowly descended from Yun Xiancheng’s head, hovering beside his neck.

Her gaze held a touch of longing as she stared at his neck, seemingly reminiscing about the warm sensation left there days before. ”As for payment...”

”Not needed for now. I can handle these guys myself.”

Yun Xiancheng extended two fingers, gently pinching the Medicine Lady’s tender cheek. Mmmph—

Pinched by the two fingers, the Medicine Lady let out a tiny whimper.

Meanwhile, Ya Fei, wearing the ”high-level aesthetic” luxurious garment, stepped out gracefully from backstage. The audience below instantly had their eyes brightened—in the literal, physical sense.

All because this luxurious garment was adorned with intricate decorations that reflected blindingly strong light under the lamps. ”My heavens, what an outrageous dress...”

Many guests, their eyes seeing stars from the glare, raised hands to shield their vision, inwardly astonished.

The shock brought by this dress was so great that everyone completely overlooked Ya Fei’s appearance; all attention was captured by this peculiar attire.

”Welcome, everyone, to today’s auction. As you can see, today’s theme relates to pills, more specifically, to the Foundation Establishment Elixir.”

Ya Fei smiled charmingly, raising her delicate hand to retrieve ten bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir from her storage ring, placing them one by one on the table. With the elixir’s appearance, the atmosphere in the hall instantly ignited, becoming charged with excitement.

Such a spiritual medicine that could accelerate cultivation during the Dou Zhi Qi stage was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the Jia Ma Empire, utterly unique. Getting a step ahead meant staying ahead, especially since it could give one’s Disciples a chance to reach a higher stage.

Just as the crowd below grew excited over the Foundation Establishment Elixir, Yun Xiancheng’s gaze precisely locked onto a Dou Practitioner Nine-Star level mercenary.

The emblem on his chest closely resembled the Giant Shark Mercenary Group insignia Ya Fei had provided. Found!

A barely perceptible smile curled at the corner of Yun Xiancheng’s mouth. ”Not just that, Chenger. Look at the Jia Lie Family side.”

Sitting upright on her Lotus Platform, the Medicine Lady extended a small hand, pointing towards the Jia Lie Family’s direction.

Following her gesture, Yun Xiancheng saw two mercenaries at the Dou Master Four-Five Star level, also wearing the Giant Shark Mercenary Group insignia, sitting solemnly beside the Jia Lie Family head.

Seeing this, Yun Xiancheng instantly understood the relationship between the Jia Lie Family and the Giant Shark Mercenary Group. The Giant Shark Mercenary Group was cooperating with the Jia Lie Family on one hand while harboring ulterior motives on the other.

This was quite normal. After all, the Giant Shark Mercenary Group aimed to dominate Wutan City, and the Jia Lie Family also coveted control of the city. Their alliance was merely built on fragile interests.

”Thirty thousand gold coins!” ”Thirty-five thousand!” ”Forty thousand gold coins!”

The bidding for the Foundation Establishment Elixir grew increasingly fierce below, the atmosphere heating up accordingly. ”The profit margin has reached 4000%. This is simply insane.”

Yun Xiancheng shook his head helplessly. The material cost for the Foundation Establishment Elixir was merely a thousand gold coins. Now, being auctioned, the profit was forty times that—truly shocking.

The young girls from the Xiao Family were also whispering among themselves, clearly startled by the astonishing price.

”Saturation point. It’s not advisable to sell too many identical pills in one region.” As a grandmaster of the pill path, the Medicine Lady naturally understood this principle well:

”Scarcity increases value. If sold too frequently, the price would inevitably plummet.” Then, she chuckled:

”But soon, you’ll be going out for training, so there’s no need to worry too much about that.”

”Next, just wait for the auction to end. I’m going on a killing spree.” Suppressing the excitement surging within, Yun Xiancheng said in a low voice.

At that moment, Nalan Yanran rubbed her sleepy eyes and pushed the door open. ”Senior Brother, why didn’t you call me when you arrived?”

She walked directly behind Yun Xiancheng, wrapping her arms around his waist, saying softly, ”These days apart, Yanran missed Senior Brother very much.”

Her embrace directly shook the Medicine Lady off Yun Xiancheng’s head, nearly causing her to fall.

Fortunately, an Ice Lotus rose in time, catching her steadily. ”Sigh, this is the downside of having physical sensation.”

The Medicine Lady rubbed her slightly dizzy head, sighing helplessly. Yun Xiancheng turned and gently kissed Nalan Yanran, whose face was full of longing.

Nalan Yanran didn’t refuse, greedily returning her Senior Brother’s kiss.
