Chapter Twenty-Two: Whirlwind Decision

  Under the lead of a female attendant, Xiao Yan walked into the auction that was currently being held.

  As soon as he entered, the bright surroundings around him dimmed, and the noise was overwhelming, pouring into his ears, making Xiao Yans eyebrows furrow in annoyance.

  The auction hall was very large, and it was no problem to accommodate thousands of people. At this time, under the light in the central position of the auction hall, a beautiful woman wearing a red cheongsam was using her charming and sweet voice that made peoples bones feel a little numb, to explain the functions of the items in her hand to everyone in the venue.

  In the midst of the womans crisp and sweet voice, the price of that actually not-so-rare item was rising rapidly with a fiery speed.

  Xiao Yan quietly sat down in a secluded location, his eyes scanning the beautiful woman on stage, and with his keen eye, he could naturally see that most of the people present were there for her.

  Mittel Auction Houses Chief Auctioneer: Yafei, a beauty almost everyone in Wutan City knows, with that mature and charming demeanor, many men have fallen under her pomegranate skirt.

  Xiao Yan, who was sitting quietly, suddenly furrowed his brow and slightly tilted his head, looking at a man hiding in the darkness not far from his seat. At this moment, the man was staring intensely at Ya Fei on the stage with burning eyes, his hands subtly opening and closing near those red, cherry-like lips, constantly moving up and down...

  "Damn it!" he cursed under his breath, and Xiao Yans eyes rolled back in exasperation beneath his hood. This guy was just too overpowered!

  Muttering to himself, Xiao Yan quickly moved away, shaking his head with a wry smile. His gaze swept back to the high platform, staring at the red-robed womans lush and alluring curves, whispering: "Seductress."

  His gaze swept over the items in Ya Feis hands, and Xiao Yan immediately lost interest. He didnt have that much money to buy a useless thing back home, even if it was being auctioned off by a beautiful woman. His eyes moved away from the woman, then slowly shifted around the auction hall.

  "Huh... Father?" His wandering gaze suddenly stopped, Xiao Yan saw a middle-aged man sitting in the front row, and he couldnt help but look stunned and strange: "Could it be that Father is also interested in this woman?"

  The strange thought only existed for a moment before it was discarded, because Xiao Yan discovered that his fathers gaze had not stopped on Ya Fei, with a calm face, as if waiting for something.

  "What is Father doing here?" muttered to himself, Xiao Yans eyes scanned again, and he was somewhat shocked to discover that the two patriarchs of the Gali Family and the Ao Ba Family, who were on par with the Xiao Family, were also present.

  "Theres something about to be auctioned off thats attracting them!" With a flick of his brow, Xiao Yans curiosity got the better of him as he rubbed his nose, wondering what it was that had drawn in the heads of the three major families.

  ……

  Cant help but say, this woman named Yafei is a master of manipulating the atmosphere. Her every frown and smile will cause the prices on the scene to soar, and at this time, she will also send a charming smile to the person who raised the price, instantly making the person who was originally still hurting from the price increase feel invigorated.

  The atmosphere in the field, in this charming womans covering mouth and light laughter, has always maintained a climax.

  "Hehe, everyone, Ive just received a new item for auction at the scene. I think youll all be interested." After finishing the auction of the items in her hand, Yafei suddenly smiled and said, waving her jade-like hand, a servant hurriedly brought over a jade plate, on which was placed a small white jade bottle.

  "This is a second-grade elixir." The slender hand carefully picked up the small white jade bottle, and Ya Feis charming voice caused the auction hall to quiet down for a moment. After a brief pause, the noise erupted again. On the continent of Dou Qi, the most sought-after thing was the various elixirs refined by alchemists.

  "This thing is called the Foundation Spirit Liquid, and it only works for those below the Fighter level. By using this spirit liquid to cultivate ones body, people who are below the Fighter level can increase their cultivation speed! Hehe, if you all want your children to become a teenage genius, then dont miss out on this opportunity." The seductive red lips opened slightly, and the sweet, charming voice that came out made everyone in the room feel a little numb.

  "Zhū jī líng yè? Actually able to increase the speed of Dou Zhis cultivation? Miss Ya Fei, at that stage, it seems like they cant withstand the impact of Dan medicine?" Although Ya Fei was indeed beautiful and enchanting, there were also calm people in the scene, after a slight silence, someone asked.

  "Hehe, this spiritual liquid has been personally appraised by our Gu Ni Master at the auction house, and its a second-grade product, so there wont be any problems. Everyone can rest assured." Yafei smiled and said.

  Listening to the authentication by Master Guni himself, the voices in the field suddenly became much smaller. Everyone knew that Master Guni was a second-grade alchemist, and throughout the city of Wutan, even the heads of the three major families did not dare to be slow when they saw him.

  Xiao Yan leaned back in his chair, gazing at the lively atmosphere inside the arena, and couldnt help but let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that this Foundation Establishment Elixir would bring him no small gains. His eyes subtly shifted towards his father, only to find that his face had suddenly become somewhat agitated.

  Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, as if he had remembered something, and his heart felt a little moved.

  "Hehe, the initial price of the spiritual liquid is 8,000 gold coins. Lets start bidding!" Yafei said with a smile, her eyes scanning the room and finally stopping on the three family heads sitting in the front row. She knew that these three were the main competitors."

  "Eight thousand five!" Just as Ya Feis words fell, someone shouted out a price.

  "Nine thousand!" The bidding voice followed closely behind.

  ……

  The price inside the court surged constantly, and in just a moment, it had already reached a height of 13,000.

  Xiao Yans fathers face was somewhat agitated, but he did not immediately shout a price. He closed his eyes slightly and waited for the commotion of those little shrimp to end.

  The scramble continued for a moment, and the voices finally subsided. At this time, an old man sitting next to Xiao Zhan spoke out in a light tone: "200,000!"

  As the bidding fell, the voices in the venue quieted down. Some people looked at the expressionless old man and could only sit back dejectedly, for they didnt have the strength to compete with the Gali family.

  "Hey, Galibi, isnt your son already a Dou Zhe? Why are you still thinking of brewing the Foundation Establishment Pill?" A middle-aged man turned his head and said with a fake smile.

  "Obaba, cant I buy it for my future grandson?" Gali Bei clearly didnt get along with this middle-aged man and coldly sneered.

  "That also depends on your good fortune, who knows when your sons life will be cut short..." Cursing in his heart, Obapa also shouted: "23,000!"

  "Twenty-five thousand!"

  ……

  In less than ten minutes, under the astonished gaze of everyone in the room, the two of them raised the price to 31,000 yuan like a pair of vicious dogs fighting over food.

  "Forty thousand!" Suddenly, Xiao Zhans voice rang out as he closed his eyes.

  The hall fell silent, and all eyes suddenly turned to Xiao Zhan. Even Oba Pappa and Garebi were shocked by his sudden high price.

  "Heh heh, it seems that the Xiao Clans elder must have this Building Foundation Spiritual Liquid at all costs." Gali Bei laughed.

  Xiao Zhan glanced at him and said lightly: "If you want it, make an offer and grab it. I absolutely wont follow again."

  Jiǎ Lè Bìs face twitched, as if he was thinking about the truth of Xiao Zhans words. After a moment, he shook his head. This time, his goal was that thing, not this foundation-building spiritual liquid. Wasting funds recklessly would undoubtedly be an unwise decision.

  On the other side, Omarpa saw Gali Bei retreat and also shrugged his shoulders. The foundation of spiritual liquid was attractive, but it wasnt his goal either, so he withdrew.

  "The leader of the Xiao Zhan tribe offered a price of 40,000 gold coins, but someone is still bidding?" Yafei smiled as she looked at the calm scene.

  "Since no one is bidding, the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid will be bought by Xiao Zhans clan leader!" Seeing that no one responded, Ya Fei also decided to end it, and with a light tap of her small hammer on the table, the buyer was settled.

  In a remote place, Xiao Yan was somewhat crying and laughing, after messing around for half a day, he actually blackmailed his own father.

  "Hehe, and now, the final item of this auction! With a wave of her jade-like hand, the lights on the high platform dimmed slightly. She bent down slightly, took out a silver plate from under the platform, and on it was a roll of ancient, cyan-colored scroll."

  The scroll is slightly glowing with a blue light, and against the silver plate, it looks quite mysterious.

  "Mystic Step High-Level Technique: Wind Scroll Decision!"
