BTTH: Breaking The Simulation

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Feng would not be interested in Qing Lin's eyes, but what if she gained the ability to regenerate severed limbs?

Just like Xiao Feng now—losing an organ is no big deal since he can recover in minutes.

For example, in the system's shop, there is an item called "Power of the Giant," which allows the user to regenerate limbs and even transform into an Immaculate Giant.

If Xiao Feng gave the "Power of the Giant" to Qing Lin, she would gain the ability to regenerate limbs, and extracting her Emerald Serpent's Triple Pupils wouldn't cause much harm.

However, despite inheriting the Giant's power and gaining the ability to regenerate limbs, any flesh separated from the body would quickly vaporise and disappear, making it impossible to preserve for long or transplant to others.

Thus, Xiao Feng could only wait for the future when he might draw a more suitable rapid regeneration ability for Qing Lin before considering transplanting her Emerald Serpent's Triple Pupils.

After sorting through the medical knowledge of Jiang Zhi, Xiao Feng integrated the skill orb representing "Hou Qing's Corpse Control Technique" into his body.

"Rumble…"

As soon as the skill orb merged into Xiao Feng's body, memories of Hou Qing's decades of corpse control flooded his mind like a tidal wave.

Through intense absorption and processing, those memories soon became Xiao Feng's own, allowing him to master Hou Qing's corpse control technique.

Compared to the Corpse Demon's technique, Hou Qing's corpse control technique was clearly superior.

The Corpse Demon's technique merely used Gu worms to control corpses, while Hou Qing's technique manipulated the bodies themselves.

In the original anime, Chi Meng once used Gu worms to control several corpses to lure out Hou Qing, only for Hou Qing to instantly seize control of those corpses with his technique.

After mastering Hou Qing's technique, Xiao Feng quickly took out a magical beast corpse from his storage ring and tried using the corpse control technique.

Xiao Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that controlling a magical beast's corpse for combat with this technique was far more convenient and flexible than using Gu worms.

After testing the ability, Xiao Feng turned his attention to the final skill orb: "Meng Po's Disguise Technique Experience."

"Activate!"

As Xiao Feng willed it, the blue skill orb transformed into a beam of blue light, merging into the centre of his forehead.

Soon, memories of Meng Po's disguise technique flooded into Xiao Feng's mind, causing him to show a look of sudden realisation.

Xiao Feng already knew a disguise technique, one he had obtained from A Zhu.

However, A Zhu's technique was more straightforward, more akin to an enhanced form of makeup.

Meng Po's disguise technique, on the other hand, was different—it could change not only the practitioner's appearance and body shape but also disguise their cultivation and aura.

If Meng Po hadn't mastered this extraordinary disguise technique, she could never have infiltrated the Xuanming Sect for decades, almost turning it into a branch of the Unorthodox Sect.

While Xiao Feng was testing his newly acquired disguise technique, his neighbour, the Little Medical Fairy, had entered a deep sleep and was attempting to break through to the Dou Emperor realm.

The Little Medical Fairy slept for five full days before awakening from her slumber, successfully advancing to a one-star Dou Emperor.

...

Time passed unnoticed in cultivation, and over half a month flew by. The annual auction of the Black Seal Auction House had finally begun.

When Xiao Feng and his companions arrived at the entrance of the Black Seal Auction House, they were taken aback by the massive crowd and the loud noise that reached the sky.

Though the three of them had anticipated that the annual auction would draw a large crowd, they hadn't expected this many people—the number of attendees had increased by at least tenfold compared to usual.

Xiao Feng scanned the crowd and finally fixed his gaze on the VIP passage on the other side.

According to the rules of the Black Seal Auction House, anyone who reached the Dou King level or spent a certain amount at the auction house, thus obtaining a VIP card, could enter the auction through the VIP passage.

Under Xiao Feng's lead, the Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin gracefully followed him to the entrance of the VIP passage.

When the auction house guards questioned them, the Little Medical Fairy, following Xiao Feng's signal, immediately released the pressure of a Dou Emperor expert.

Sensing the terrifying pressure no less than that of their own master, the guards immediately showed extreme respect, ushering Xiao Feng and his companions into the auction house.

After all, the master of the Eight Gates, Yuan Yi, was only a two-star Dou Emperor, and he had no intention of offending another Dou Emperor over nothing.

Yuan Yi had long ordered that everyone in the Eight Gates should show enough respect to other Dou Emperor experts.

As soon as Xiao Feng and his companions entered the auction hall, a young female attendant in a green dress warmly welcomed them and led the three to the top-tier VIP section closest to the auction stage.

The seats in the top-tier VIP section were all separated into private areas. Each area had three luxurious sofas arranged in a U-shape, with a table in the middle filled with drinks, fruits, and snacks.

After Xiao Feng and the two women took their seats, they enjoyed the refreshments while curiously observing the other guests in the VIP section.

Most of the guests in the top-tier VIP section were either wealthy or powerful, and each group had at least one Dou King expert.

However, aside from the Little Medical Fairy, Xiao Feng hadn't noticed any other Dou Emperor experts.

This didn't surprise Xiao Feng, as Dou Emperor experts in the Black-Corner Region were usually high-ranking figures with significant powers and rarely attended auctions personally.

Unless there was something precious that even Dou Emperor experts would covet, such items were unlikely to appear at the Black Seal Auction.

"Dong!"

About half an hour later, a crisp bell rang, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

An old man with white hair, dressed in an auctioneer's uniform, walked onto the stage with a cheerful smile.

"I'm sure everyone's been waiting for some time, so I won't bore you with formalities," the old man said with a smile. "I now declare the Black Seal City Annual Auction officially open!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the auction hall erupted into applause and cheers.
