十五日之期，倏忽而过。
这半月间，萧炎的生活规律得近乎严苛。
白天，他大多沉浸於后山苦修，稳固一星斗者境界，同时不断熟悉“焚诀”的玄奥运转，反覆锤炼斗者阶段的诸般斗技，將力量掌控得愈发精微。
而当夜幕低垂，万籟俱寂之时，他便会在药老的指导下，於房中屏息凝神，观摩学习那深奥的炼药之术。
那五十瓶“筑基灵液”的炼製，自然主要由药老亲自出手。以其深不可测的灵魂力量与登峰造极的火焰掌控力，炼製这等二品丹药堪称信手拈来，不仅成功率百分之百，所成丹药品相更是臻至完美。
萧炎则负责处理药材预处理等杂事，並聚精会神地观察著每一个细微步骤，感受那精妙入微的灵魂力量运用与火焰变幻，眼界与认知皆在飞速提升。
第十五日黄昏，夕阳熔金，为天边云霞镀上瑰丽色彩。
萧炎再次换上那身宽大黑袍，面具覆面，周身气息在药老的遮掩下变得如渊似海，难以测度。
他悄无声息地离开萧家，如一抹阴影融於暮色，在乌坦城的街巷间自如穿梭，轻巧避开所有视线，再次来到了米特尔拍卖场那处僻静的偏门。
早已奉命在此恭候的侍女，一见这身熟悉的神秘装扮，立刻毕恭毕敬地躬身行礼，不敢有丝毫怠慢，默不作声地引著他前往那间熟悉的高级鉴宝室。
室內，雅妃早已盛装等候。今日她一袭炽烈红裙，剪裁得体的旗袍將她曼妙起伏的诱人曲线勾勒得淋漓尽致。见到黑袍人如期而至，她嫵媚倾城的俏脸上顿时绽开明媚如的笑靨，热情迎上，眼波流转间风情万种。
“先生果然是信人，分毫不差。”雅妃的声音酥软娇腻，带著由衷的讚嘆，“您后续需要的药材，我们已经备下更多。却不知那灵液……”
黑袍之下，药老操控的“萧炎”並未多言，只是手掌隨意一挥。
霎时间，宽大的黑袍袖口中，一个个小巧精致的玉瓶鱼贯飞出，划过道道优雅弧线，轻巧而精准地落在铺著柔软锦缎的桌面上，发出清脆悦耳的轻响，不多不少，正好五十瓶。
每一只玉瓶都剔透莹润，其內盛装的翡翠色液体青翠欲滴，在灯光映照下流转著诱人光华，浓郁的异香顷刻间盈满室间，令人精神为之一振。
望著那整整齐齐列队的五十瓶筑基灵液，饶是雅妃早有心理准备，呼吸也不由得微微一窒，美眸中闪过难以掩饰的震撼与惊喜。
半个月！仅仅是半个月！五十瓶二品丹药！
如此恐怖的效率，简直骇人听闻！这无疑再次確证了她心中的判断——这位神秘炼药师的品阶，绝对远超谷尼，恐怕已臻四品，甚至更高！
她强压住翻腾的心绪，莲步轻移上前，纤指小心翼翼地拿起一瓶仔细查验。但见药液色泽纯粹饱满，能量充沛而温和，与半月前那滴样品別无二致，品质堪称上乘。
“先生手段通玄，雅妃心悦诚服。”她由衷讚嘆，语气比之上次更为恭敬，“您所需的药材早已备妥，请您过目。”
她轻轻击掌，一名侍从立刻躬身捧著一个托盘步入，其上静置著一枚淡红色的纳戒。
药老灵魂力量微动，扫过其中，確认是六十份药材（比约定多出十份，显然是雅妃额外的诚意），便微微頷首，袍袖一卷，將纳戒收起。

“合作愉快。”雅妃笑靨如，亲自將一张紫金光华流转的卡片奉上，“此乃我米特尔拍卖行的顶级贵宾卡，先生日后若有所需，凭此卡在所有米特尔分行皆可获得最优先的待遇。此次拍卖所得，扣除成本与分成后，亦会悉数存入此卡中。”
药老接过卡片，淡淡应了一声，作势欲走。
“先生请稍候，”雅妃连忙开口，语气转为商討，“关於这批灵液的运作，雅妃有些浅见，想请先生定夺。”
黑袍人脚步微顿。
雅妃组织语言，声音清晰干练，尽显商业智慧：“乌坦城虽是大城，但顶尖家族不过米特尔、萧家、加列、奥巴等数家。一次性投放五十瓶灵液，市场恐难完全消化，反易衝击价格，削弱其珍稀性。”
“故雅妃愚见，此次仅在乌坦城拍卖五瓶，既可试水，亦能吊足各大家族胃口。其余四十五瓶，”她眼中锐光一闪，“我將即刻派遣最可靠的队伍，快马加鞭送往帝都总部！由总部筹划专场拍卖，面向帝国所有豪门显贵！届时，凭藉帝都的雄厚財力与竞拍氛围，其成交价势必远超乌坦城！不知先生意下如何？”
药老（萧炎）闻言，心中暗赞此女手段高明，深諳奇货可居与利润最大化之道。將主战场置於帝都，无疑能攫取最大利益。
“可。”黑袍下传出淡漠的认可。
“多谢先生信任！”雅妃笑容更盛，“乌坦城的拍卖会定於三日后，先生若有閒暇，可来一观。”
药老不置可否，转身离去。
……
三日后，米特尔拍卖场大型拍卖会如期举行。
此前关於“神秘药物能加速斗之气修炼”的风声早已传得满城风雨，將乌坦城各大家族撩拨得心痒难耐。
拍卖大厅內座无虚席，气氛热烈鼎沸。
萧炎並未亲至，他相信雅妃的手段，也知其绝不敢欺瞒。
拍卖台上，雅妃一袭红裙，风华绝代，巧笑嫣然间便轻易掌控全场节奏。她一顰一笑皆牵引著无数目光，將拍卖气氛一次次推向顶点。
当最后一件常规拍品落槌，雅妃美眸流转，红唇轻启，声音带著魔性的诱惑力：“接下来，乃是本次拍卖会最终的压轴之物。它非刀剑鎧甲，亦非功法斗技，然其对在座诸位家主而言，其价值，或许远超前者。”
话语成功吊起所有人胃口，场內霎时鸦雀无声。
两名侍女小心翼翼捧上一个覆著红绸的玉盘。
雅妃縴手轻扬，揭开绸布，五个玲瓏剔透的玉瓶静静呈现，流光溢彩。
“此物，名曰『筑基灵液』。”雅妃清越声音传遍大厅，“经我米特尔拍卖场谷尼大师亲自鑑定，並经斗之气阶段少年实际验证，確认为二品丹药。其唯一效用，便是能温和且显著加速斗之气阶段的修炼速度，於经脉绝无半分损害！”
“轰！”
大厅瞬间沸腾！
加速斗之气修炼？还无损经脉？！这简直是所有有晚辈的家族梦寐以求之神物！
“雅妃小姐，此话当真？！”奥巴家族族长，一位面色略显阴鷙的中年人，忍不住急声开口，语带迫切。
“米特尔拍卖场的金字招牌，便是担保。”雅妃自信一笑，“此灵液效果卓著，然產量稀世，本次仅此五瓶。诸位当知，这意味著什么。”

物以稀为贵！所有目光瞬间灼热如火。
萧战坐於贵宾席中，手掌悄然握紧，眼中迸发出惊人亮光。
炎儿独自苦修已逾半载，他虽忧心却从不催促。但此等能助益修炼的丹药现世，他岂能错过？若效果確凿，或能助天赋本就不凡的炎儿，於成年礼前稳稳踏入斗之气七段！
“筑基灵液，五瓶，按瓶拍卖。”雅妃执起小巧木槌，“第一瓶，起拍价一万金幣！”
“两万！”话音未落，加列毕便迫不及待嘶声喊道。
“两万五！”
“三万！”
价格如脱韁野马般疯狂飆升，顷刻突破三万大关！竞爭之烈，远胜寻常二品丹药。
萧战深吸一口气，沉声加入战局：“四万！”
价至高位，大厅为之一静。
雅妃巧笑嫣然：“萧族长出价四万，可还有更高者？”
奥巴帕族长咬牙，家族青黄不接，对此物需求更切：“四万五！”
萧战眉头微蹙，再次开口：“四万八！”这近乎他的心理极限。
然奥巴帕似铁心要拿下首瓶，狠声道：“五万！”
满场譁然！二品丹药拍至五万，实属天价！
萧战默然片刻，终是摇头放弃首瓶爭夺，他需留力后续。
最终，首瓶筑基灵液以五万金幣天价，落奥巴家。
后续三瓶，爭夺同样白热化。
萧战凭藉萧家近年丰厚收益与势在必得之心，以均价四万五千金幣上下，成功將第二、第三、第四瓶收入囊中！
期间加列家族虽奋力爭夺，然其家族生意近年被萧家打压得江河日下，资金左支右絀，根本无法与財力雄厚的萧战抗衡，只得眼睁睁看著灵液尽入对手囊中，面色铁青欲裂。
终至最后一瓶。
此刻，空手而归的加列毕眼泛血丝，奥巴帕虽得一瓶仍觉不足，萧战亦想为家族多储一份底蕴。
“最后一瓶筑基灵液，起拍价一万！”雅妃声音蛊惑人心。
“四万！”萧战直接报出高价，意图逼退对手。
“四万一千！”加列毕咬牙死跟。
“四万三千！”奥巴帕阴测测再度介入。
萧战锁眉沉吟，旋即斩钉截铁：“四万五千！”
“五万！”加列毕几乎吼出，愤恨目光似要將萧战焚烧！
奥巴帕犹豫再三，念及已有一瓶，最终选择放弃。
“五万金幣！最后一次！”雅妃木槌轻落，“恭喜加列族长，竞得终瓶！”
加列毕长吁一口鬱气，然脸色难看至极。此价远超標底，令本已拮据的財政雪上加霜，唯盼此液真能助家族多催生一位斗者。
萧战则面露欣慰笑意。虽耗费巨资，然能为家族未来夯实根基，一切皆值。
他瞥了眼加列毕那黑沉如锅底的脸色，嗤笑道：“加列毕，没想到最后一个坊市都快不保，还能挤出这般钱財竞拍灵液，倒是底蕴犹存啊。”
加列毕冷哼一声，並未接话，拂袖快步离去。如今萧战贵为斗灵，萧家势力如日中天，绝非日渐式微的加列家所能招惹。

他甚至清晰感到萧家步步紧逼的威胁。
现今加列家实力十不存三，若与萧家硬碰，必是族毁人亡之局。
尤其近期情况看来，奥巴家所谓联合，也不过是表面文章，各怀鬼胎，难以交託后背。
“即便联合，真能抗衡萧家么？”加列毕捫心自问，或许高端战力两家相加能与萧家持平，但顶尖的斗灵强者，唯萧战一人！中底层斗者、斗师队伍，差距更是云泥之別，多年积弱，边缘势力早已消散殆尽。
“我加列家，是时候思虑保存火种了……”夜色中，加列毕终是沉痛地下定了决心。
……
当拍卖会的细节经由家族护卫兴奋的议论传回小院时，正在喝茶的萧炎直接一口水喷了出来，呛得连连咳嗽。
“咳咳……多少？四万五？五万？！”他瞪大双眼，脸上表情精彩纷呈，可谓哭笑不得。
他千算万算，算计了奥巴家，算计了加列家，甚至算计了精明的雅妃，却万万没算到，最终最大的“冤大头”，竟是自己的亲爹！
自己（主要是药老）辛辛苦苦炼药赚钱，结果赚来的金幣，一大半又以这种形式流回了自己家族……虽说是家族公帐支出，但这感觉著实诡异得很。
好比左手倒右手，还平白让米特尔拍卖行抽走了一笔不菲分成！
“哈哈哈！”戒指內，药老毫不客气地爆发出一阵幸灾乐祸的畅快大笑，“小子，滋味如何？被自家父亲『背刺』的体验，是否格外新奇？这便是世事无常，妙不可言啊！”
萧炎无奈地揉了揉额角，苦笑连连：“唉，这下可真是搬起石头砸了自己的脚……罢了罢了，好歹是肥水不流外人田，也算为家族做贡献了。”他只得如此自我宽慰。
同时，他对雅妃的手段更是高看一筹，仅凭五瓶灵液，便在乌坦城掀起如此巨浪，拍出远超预期的天价。
可以想见，那送往帝都的四十五瓶，又將引起何等轩然大波，最终换来何等惊人的財富。
“老师，看来我们的启动资金，很快就能充裕起来了！”萧炎摩挲著手指上的纳戒，眼中闪烁著期待的光芒。
