I'm in Battle Through the Heavens, and I have a control panel.

Chapter 44 Confiscating property, intermediate-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique!

"hiss--!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan gasped.

He never expected that the young man in front of him had also become an apprentice of a mysterious alchemist!

Moreover, judging from this demeanor, he's even more formidable than Yan'er's teacher!

Xiao Zhan had no doubt about Xiao Zheng's statement that "his teacher is stronger".

Based on his own experience, Yan'er's teacher seemed to focus solely on teaching alchemy from beginning to end, never making any arrangements for Yan'er's safety.

But Xiao Zheng's teacher was different; he directly assigned an eight-star Grand Dou Master as Xiao Zheng's bodyguard!

Comparing the two, it's clear that Xiao Zheng's teacher is more capable.

"what?"

At this moment, Xiao Zhan suddenly noticed that Xiao Zheng had an exquisite badge pinned to his chest.

The badge depicts a medicine furnace with two silver ripples encircling its body, a mark of a second-grade alchemist.

Xiao Zhan was startled again.

He clearly remembered that a year and a half ago, Xiao Zheng was just an ordinary member of the Xiao family.

How long has it been? Xiao Zheng's teacher has already trained him to become a second-grade alchemist!

Xiao Zhan became even more convinced that "Xiao Zheng's teacher is stronger".

"Good lad!"

Xiao Zhan composed himself, his tone full of admiration, "As long as your resume is made public, I think no one in Wutan City will bother with you anymore."

Xiao Zheng nodded; he thought so too.

Xiao Zheng turned around and walked to the corpse not far away. He grabbed Obaba's collar with one hand and lifted him up as easily as if he were a dead chicken.

That casual posture made it seem as if he wasn't carrying the head of a large family in Wutan City, but rather an ordinary object.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Zhan frowned upon seeing this, his tone tinged with doubt.

"Hehehe..."

Xiao Zheng let out a low and eerie laugh: "Uncle Xiao, as one of the major indigenous families in Wutan City, the Obama family must have a rich heritage."

"I'm going to raid Obama's house! Uncle Xiao, want to come join the fun?"

Looking at Xiao Zheng's eager and audacious appearance, Xiao Zhan suddenly felt a little dazed, as if he saw Yan'er's shadow in him.

He waved his hand: "I won't go with you."

"Since you're alright, I'll be going now."

"If nothing unexpected happens, starting tomorrow, people will only want to win you over, and no one will want to mess with you anymore."

After saying that, Xiao Zhan didn't linger. He turned around and transformed into a black shadow, quickly disappearing into the night.

Xiao Zheng smiled as he looked in the direction Xiao Zhan had left, then turned to Little Fairy Doctor: "Let's go raid Obaba's house."

He grabbed Obapa and leaped out of the window.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded, her beautiful face showing no emotion, and calmly followed behind Xiao Zheng.

The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, plunging Wutan City into silence.

The Obama family mansion is located in the west of the city. It covers a vast area with high walls. At this moment, the mansion gate is brightly lit, and several guards with weapons patrol back and forth, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor appeared not far from the Obama family's door and walked towards the Obama family's house.

"Halt! Who goes there? Stop right now! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"

The guards immediately noticed Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor and shouted at them sternly.

Xiao Zheng smirked coldly. Without saying a word, he raised his arm and slammed the corpse of Obapa in front of the guard.

boom--

A dull thud rang out, and Obapa's body rolled a few times on the ground before coming to a stop, his unseeing face facing the guards.

"hiss……"

"This...this is the head of the family?!"

"The patriarch is dead?!"

When the guards saw the corpse's face, they froze as if struck by lightning, their faces filled with terror, their mouths agape.

Having followed Obaba for many years, they naturally recognized their patriarch at a glance.

Fear spread rapidly like a plague. Several guards' legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground, their trousers soaked and a foul stench filling the air.

"The patriarch is dead! Run!"

Someone shouted first, and the remaining guards, like startled birds, dropped their weapons and scattered in all directions, screaming.

After all, Obapa was a three-star Grand Master and the strongest member of the Obapa family.

Such a powerful figure was easily killed by the two opponents, which shows that the opponents must be extremely powerful.

The fact that the other party brought back Obaba's body is clearly a threat to the Obaba family!

So if we don't run now, when will we?

Xiao Zheng ignored the fleeing guards, walked to Obaba's body, picked it up again, and then, together with Xiao Yixian, walked into the Obaba family home with an air of indifference.

When several members of the Obama family saw the two, they immediately stepped forward, intending to question who Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor were. However, they saw Xiao Zheng repeat his old trick and throw out Obama's corpse again.

next moment……

These people screamed in terror and started to run away.

Xiao Zheng looked at Little Fairy Doctor: "Split up and loot everything of value, medicinal herbs, and martial arts techniques. Meet up at the mansion gate in a quarter of an hour."

"it is good."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded in agreement, and in a flash, she disappeared into the shadows within the mansion.

Xiao Zheng didn't delay any longer and began the raid on the house.

As a prominent family in Utan City, the Oba family's mansion was extremely luxurious, with pavilions and towers arranged in a well-organized manner, and carved beams and painted rafters displaying its grandeur.

But Xiao Zheng had no time to appreciate any of that. His goal was clear: he headed straight for Obapa's study and storeroom.

Inside the study, the bookshelves were filled with all sorts of books, but most of them were just some unimportant notes.

After searching for a while, Xiao Zheng found three low-level storage rings in a hidden compartment under the desk. Two of them were empty, while one contained a full 500,000 gold coins.

"They're really rich."

Xiao Zheng's lips curled up slightly, and he took all three storage rings without hesitation.

He then rushed to Obama's warehouse.

The warehouse door was locked, but under Xiao Zheng's brute force, the sturdy wooden door was easily smashed open as if it were made of paper.

The warehouse was filled with many things, but most of them were of little value, which disappointed him slightly. Fortunately, after searching around, he found the entrance to a secret room in a corner.

Upon entering, Xiao Zheng discovered that this secret room was actually the Oba family's Dou Qi Pavilion, filled with various Dou Techniques and Cultivation Methods, all of which were of the Yellow Rank.

Although the yellow rank items weren't very valuable, he still put them all into his storage ring.

Xiao Zheng continued to explore further, knowing that the Obama family, as a family that was once no less powerful than the Xiao family, must have high-level cultivation techniques and fighting skills in their Dou Qi Pavilion.

As Xiao Zheng had predicted, after some searching, he found a yellowed ancient book.

On the cover of the ancient book, four large characters are written in vigorous and powerful script—

Thunderclap Meridian Tempering Technique.

"A mid-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique? And it's lightning-attribute?"

Xiao Zheng's heart stirred, and he quickly opened the ancient book to take a look.

A light gold panel popped up instantly.

[Discovered the intermediate-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique, Thunderclap Meridian Tempering Technique]

[Is it included?]

【whether】

He clicked "yes" without hesitation.

The next moment, all the knowledge related to the Thunderclap Meridian Tempering Technique filled Xiao Zheng's mind.

This Thunderclap Meridian Tempering Technique is quite extraordinary, with a cultivation limit of nine-star Dou Huang.

If one reaches the Douhuang realm, one can gain speeds approaching lightning when channeling energy, resulting in extremely powerful bursts of energy.

Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Zheng met up with Little Fairy Doctor.

Xiao Zheng was very satisfied with the raid. With the Thunderclap Meridian Tempering Technique, he wouldn't have to bother looking for cultivation methods for a while.

And then, all that's left is to wait two days for the auction at Mittel Auction House to begin.

If we can get our hands on some Xuan-rank or higher combat techniques by then, this trip will be considered a success!
